Capítulo 1296: Chapter 1281: The Central Patrol’s Deal
“The Heavenly Patrol Departnt, looking for ?”
Upon receiving such a ssage, Ye Zhen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
The Heavenly Patrol Departnt in the Great Zhou Dynasty, in Luoyi, is synonymous with trouble, synonymous with misfortune. Unless absolutely necessary, no one is willing to deal with such an intelligence agency as the Heavenly Patrol Departnt.
Basically, within Luoyi, the Heavenly Patrol Departnt visiting ans no good!
It’s not just Ye Zhen, even Gu Tieqi behind Ye Zhen’s face also shows a trace of worry.
Gu Chunzhi has just left, and the Heavenly Patrol Departnt has co knocking. Could it be that that fool Gu Chunzhi has used his connections in the Heavenly Patrol Departnt to cause trouble for Ye Zhen?
However, if it’s just like this, Ye Zhen really has nothing to worry about.
A few breaths later, Ye Zhen saw the person from the Heavenly Patrol Departnt who ca to find him in the guest flower hall of the Princess Mansion. It turned out to be his acquaintance, with a fairly high rank, the Wind Patrol Envoy under the command of the Central Patrol Lord, Sha Luo.
It was the Wind Patrol Envoy Sha Luo, who was responsible for the assassination case where Ye Zhen was stabbed dead in the street last ti.
“Wind Patrol Envoy Sha?” Ye Zhen boldly greeted him, “Could it be that the matter of this general being assassinated in the street last ti has co to a conclusion, so Wind Patrol Envoy Sha has specially co to inform?”
These words made Wind Patrol Envoy Sha Luo’s face darken. Did this kid think the Heavenly Patrol Departnt was for such trivial matters?
For such trivial matters, let alone having no result, even if there was a result, given Ye Zhen’s status, it wouldn’t warrant them coming to personally inform.
The Heavenly Patrol Departnt is a special governnt office that only the Holy Son of Heaven of Great Zhou can mobilize and acts solely upon the holy orders.
However, after thinking about it, Sha Luo suppressed his dissatisfaction, as the matter he ca here for today was indeed peculiar.
He ca to invite Ye Zhen!
Usually, if the Heavenly Patrol Departnt says they’re inviting soone to sit at the Heavenly Patrol Departnt’s office, there’s definitely no good intention.
But today, he truly ca to ‘invite’ Ye Zhen!
After explaining his purpose, Ye Zhen’s expression suddenly turned peculiar.
“Wind Patrol Envoy Sha, are you saying that the Central Patrol Lord of your Heavenly Patrol Departnt wants to see , inviting there?”
“That’s right! I indeed carry the order from the Central Patrol Lord to invite General Ye, but regarding the specifics, the Central Patrol Lord hasn’t ntioned it, General Ye will only know once he gets there!” Sha Luo said earnestly.
Ye Zhen’s expression turned very peculiar.
If the Heavenly Patrol Departnt ca to inquire about other matters or purposely ca to find trouble, Ye Zhen would find it normal.
But for the Central Patrol Lord of the Heavenly Patrol Departnt, whom he has never t, to have those princes and nobles avoid when they see the Central Patrol, to invite him, it made Ye Zhen’s mind sowhat muddled.
He really couldn’t figure out what exactly the Central Patrol Lord of the Heavenly Patrol Departnt wanted to do?
“Since it’s an invitation, can I say that military affairs are busy, and I have no ti to go?” Ye Zhen said with a peculiar expression.
Upon hearing this, Wind Patrol Envoy Sha Luo shook his head, “The Central Patrol Lord said, General Ye is a smart person, he definitely wouldn’t refuse his invitation.”
Ye Zhen’s face suddenly showed an expression of displeasure, these words carried a hint of threat.
It seems that even if it’s a true invitation, there’s still no good intent.
As Gu Tieqi would say, the Heavenly Patrol Departnt is like a piece of ****, once you’re entangled with them, it’s nothing good.
“Alright!”
A few breaths later, Ye Zhen followed Wind Patrol Envoy Sha Luo out of Changle Princess Mansion.
“Master Earth, Captain Ye won’t be in trouble, right?” Inside the Inner Residence of Changle Princess Mansion, Princess Changle looked at the scene in the Water Mirror, sowhat worried, while holding a kitten.
“Since it’s a true invitation, there’ll be no trouble!” Master Earth mused, “Moreover, it’s best not to probe into the reasons and the inside story! You know, His Majesty most taboo anyone reaching out towards the Heavenly Patrol Departnt!”
Upon Master Earth’s words, a flash of fear appeared in Princess Changle’s beautiful eyes.
“However, given Her Highness Princess’s status, the people of the Heavenly Patrol Departnt wouldn’t dare use the sa tactics they use on ordinary nobles on Her Highness Princess’s people,” Master Earth added.
The Heavenly Patrol Departnt is directly under the Holy Son of Heaven, wielding great power, responsible for intelligence detection in various aspects.
Whether it’s civilian life, official corruption, demon clan intelligence, infiltration, assassination, etc., the Heavenly Patrol Departnt handles all of it, serving as a sharp tool in the hands of successive emperors in the Great Zhou Calendar.
Due to the vast territory of the Great Zhou, the Heavenly Patrol Departnt is divided into many branches, the most obvious being the division into five Great Patrols: East, South, West, North, and Central.
Of these, the East, South, North, and West patrol the states and counties of the four corners of the Great Zhou, while the Central Patrol’s range includes Luoyi and the most prosperous and affluent direct states surrounding Luoyi. Among the five Great Patrols of the Heavenly Patrol Departnt, the Central Patrol wields the greatest power.
Compared to the power of the Heavenly Patrol Departnt, the location of its governnt office is extraordinarily inconspicuous, nestled within the Inner City in an ordinary small governnt office that doesn’t even have guards.
Yet, upon stepping through the door, a formless, ominous Evil Qi assaults the senses.
Ye Zhen chatted idly with Sha Luo as they walked.
“Wind Patrol Envoy Sha, you haven’t answered how the investigation from last ti is going? Who was that death soldier who tried to assassinate on the street, and why?” Ye Zhen asked.
“There’s been no outco so far!” Sha Luo replied stiffly.
“It’s been over two months and still no result?” Ye Zhen seed a bit dissatisfied.
“Do you think the Heavenly Patrol Departnt is run by your family? The departnt has to handle tens of thousands of incidents a day, how can everything be investigated thoroughly? If there’s a result, you’ll naturally be inford!”
Sha Luo’s expression was unwelcoming, making it clear he didn’t want to talk much with Ye Zhen, and quickened his pace.
“This way!”
They continued forward, passing through doors and corridors, going through multiple restrictions, and then through a short-distance teleportation formation. Amidst flashing lights, Ye Zhen’s figure appeared in a dimly lit hall.
In the center of the hall stood a stone plaque, upon which a strangely shaped longbow was engraved, catching attention.
In front of the stone plaque, a man in casual clothes stared at it, his silhouette unexpectedly familiar.
“Alright, Sha Luo, you may leave now! I have matters to discuss with General Ye!” said the figure with his back turned, identified as the Central Patrol.
Wind Patrol Envoy Sha Luo looked sowhat surprised that Lord Central Patrol wanted him to leave.
This ant that even matters discussed between Lord Central Patrol and Ye Zhen were not for him to be privy to.
Yet he didn’t feel Ye Zhen was worth this.
However, Sha Luo obediently left the secret room, and upon exiting, he also activated the eighteen-layer defensive formation of the chamber.
Ye Zhen’s expression beca unusually surprised, the background of Lord Central Patrol was familiar, and his voice was even more so.
“Jings Zhanjing, it was Central Patrol who invited , but I rember you should be the East Patrol, right?” Ye Zhen asked the silhouette.
“You’ve got sharp eyes!”
The figure facing away from Ye Zhen spun around like a whirlwind, his thin, tight-lipped mouth, hawk-like eyes—who else but East Patrol Jing Zhan Ye Zhen had t before?
“Speaking of, I’m sowhat indebted to you, for my performance in the battle at Thunder Marsh Ridge led to the emperor appointing as the Central Patrol responsible for inspecting the important area of Luoyi.” Central Patrol Jing Zhan said.
“So, you’re the one who summoned , and I wonder what reason you have? It’s unlikely for a reunion chat, as there’s no such friendship between us!” Ye Zhen replied.
Jing Zhan slowly descended the steps, “Of course it’s not for a catch-up, I really don’t have that kind of relationship with you. I invited you today for a transaction!”
“A transaction?” Ye Zhen felt even more puzzled, wondering what Jing Zhan wanted from him that warranted a deal.
“Yimu Spiritual Communication Technique, I want the complete technique you’ve been cultivating,” Jing Zhan directly stated.
Ye Zhen’s eyebrows shot up, “Jings Patrol, even in the Great Zhou Empire, no one would force to hand over an ancestral Cultivation thod arbitrarily, like you are doing?”
“Openly forcing soone for their Cultivation thod is taboo in the Primordial Continent, isn’t it?”
Central Patrol Jing Zhan nodded, “Of course, even the current emperor can’t publicly coerce soone to hand over their unique cultivation technique, so naturally I can’t.”
“However, if I seize a suspicious person and conduct a public Soul Search, not even the princes and princesses, or the emperor, would say I acted improperly, right?”
Ye Zhen’s pupils constricted, stepping back suddenly, full of vigilance, “Suspicious origins? A Peace General awarded for slaying countless Demon Clan mbers, with rits endorsed by your Heavenly Patrol Departnt, could be questioned about such origins?”
“Hmph, it’s not just a minor Peace General, even marquises or dukes have been investigated by us countless tis. Not only guilty ones, but even the innocent can be made guilty!” Jing Zhan sneered.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen’s face turned unsightly, “So, Jing Patrol, to obtain the Yimu Spiritual Communication Technique, you’ll stop at nothing?”
“Not at nothing, but fulfilling duties!”
“Ye Zhen, claiming to be an overseas exile, gained the Golden Cavalry Guard position by rescuing Princess Jie Youu of Xitian County, and appeared in our Great Zhou Empire with traceable records of less than half a year. Before that, there’s no trace! What kind of person can be considered of uncertain origins if not this?” Jing Zhan said sternly.
“Reports suggest Princess Jie Youu’s disappearance was related to North Sea Sea Demons, yet you rescued her from the Sea Demon lair! And initially, you were chased by a group of North Sea Wild Demons, which suggests your involvent with the Demon Race! Upon investigation, you won’t escape the label of a Demon Race spy!”
Jing Zhan’s argunts ca wave after wave, causing a storm in Ye Zhen’s heart. The Heavenly Patrol Departnt was truly formidable.
Regarding his origin, he thought he kept it hidden well, with no proof to trace, yet the departnt deduced much of it.
Seeing Ye Zhen’s wry smile, Central Patrol Jing Zhan rarely showed a hint of smugness, “Now, will you refuse my transaction?”
Ye Zhen raised his hands helplessly, a sudden gleam in his eye, “A transaction? Jings Patrol, you call it a transaction, right?”
“Then I want to know, what will Jings Patrol offer in exchange? Or rather, after I hand over the complete Yimu Spiritual Communication Technique, what benefits do I get?”
