Capítulo 1748: Chapter 1748: Eagle Beak Cliff
The soldiers guarding the city gate were oblivious, leaning against the wall with their eyes closed, snoring loudly, drool dripping down without any reaction, still sleeping soundly.
The shadow entered the city and went straight towards the County Yan.
Yunlai Inn.
After everyone had fallen asleep, Long Rui and Xuexue changed into their Nightwear. Under the cover of night, they prepared to head to the County Yan to gather information. They avoided the main road, traveling directly across the rooftops…
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the County Yan. The pitch-black gate was tightly shut, with two exceptionally imposing stone lions on either side, their gaping mouths appearing fiercely majestic as they gazed at them.
Long Rui looked at the tall enclosing wall and turned his head to Xuexue, saying, “Wife, I’ll carry you inside.”
“Alright!” Xuexue readily agreed without any pretense.
Despite her significant progress in martial arts recently, she had made little progress in Qinggong, which troubled her the most. The County Yan’s nearly ten-ter wall would take her until midnight to climb over, so it was better to let Long Rui carry her inside.
Long Rui held Xuexue and easily leaped into the County Yan, standing quietly in the courtyard. Glancing around, they noticed a faint light coming from a distant building. Silently, they moved closer, wondering if it was the county magistrate’s bedroom. As they approached, they heard voices from inside…
“Cai Wenxuan, don’t forget how you beca the county magistrate. Back then, the three of us sworn brothers were bandits on Wangya Mountain. In the end, we were chased by the governnt office to the point where we had no choice but to flee to Hu’s Bay. At that ti, there was no county magistrate in Hu’s Bay, so we conspired to have the second brother and beco notorious bandits at Eagle Beak Cliff, donating so Silver to let you beco the county magistrate of Hu’s Bay. We brothers would look after each other and make a fortune together. But you’ve forgotten who you are after just two years as county magistrate. Do you really think you’re a county magistrate? Don’t make laugh. A bandit, suddenly turning himself into a governnt official?”
“Big Brother, what do you want by visiting so late at night?”
“In short, release the second brother imdiately.”
“Give a few more days to think about it!”
“What’s wrong? Have you forgotten your roots? Trying to step over the second brother’s corpse to climb up and fulfill your dream of becoming a Governnt Official Master?”
“Big Brother, what nonsense are you speaking? You know very well the third brother isn’t like that.”
Hearing this, Xuexue and Long Rui exchanged a glance, quietly moved to the window, and gently poked through the window paper after wetting a finger on their lips. They saw two n inside, around thirty or forty years old, one of whom was wearing an official robe.
At the sight of the official robe, Long Rui imdiately recognized him as the county magistrate of Hu’s Bay.
The other man had a sharp face and shifty, beady eyes, clearly a cunning person.
Xuexue, unable to see what was happening inside, leaned over and asked quietly, “Big Bull, what’s going on?”
“Shh!”
No sooner had the words left her mouth than a cautious voice from inside asked, “Who? Who’s out there?”
“ow, ow, ow…!” Xuexue pinched her nose and mimicked a cat’s ow.
A voice from inside spoke again, “Third Brother, don’t get paranoid. It’s the Third Watch of the Night, who could possibly be outside?”
“Big Brother, better to be cautious.”
The mont the voice finished, the room door opened. A middle-aged man wearing an official robe poked his head out, glanced around cautiously, ensured no one was at the door, and then closed the door again.
