After Gu Shenwei disguised hi around in thetea and chatting with the people The new Governor, the to were the three hottest conversation topics in town Gu Shenwei usually didn’t talk much, but now he becauidance He kne to say pleasant rhetoric
Chu Nanping hid outside the city His swordcraft was good but his conduct was no different from that of an eleven-year-old Thus, he would be easily identified
Chatting was useful as Gu Shenwei rate with the residents in the city After two hours, no one regarded hier and severalany attention to him
Tordsetting tired They hadn’t seen the Dragon King and had only collected a pile of conflicting news
“I heard that he was arrested at Pleasure Alley”
“But others said that he went to North City to kill so about which reward he should get”
“What is there to think about? Give Golden Roc Fort his head and wait for the sponsor to collect the swords Both rewards are greater than that of Stop Kills Society It’s so si”
“Can you kill hi hunted down and run past me coincidentally, I will trip and stab hih hed and no one took it seriously It was siold to fall froine that Even the oldat the rewards He said, “If I knew the whereabouts of the Dragon King, I would inforet half the rewards”
“I don’t want the Dragon King I hope that he will throw his swords at reedy I will be satisfied if I can exchange the swords for twenty thousand taels,” a cheeky teenager interrupted He reminded Gu Shenwei of Xu Xiaoyi, as in Shu-lik City
To the residents of Jade City, their ie windfall
What Mister Zhao said at the first ht Jade City residents hadn’t heardhad killed countless people and had confronted Golden Roc army hundreds of miles away, it had little influence in Jade City Few believed that the defector from Golden Roc Fort could on King had entered Jade City, the ed hiood rapport with all parties and get the support of Stop Kills Society
Gu Shenwei suddenly realized that the estion was not entirely feasible He had to build his own influence so that his words would be chai’s house probably aroused the killer’s desire for blood That was the desire he hated, but he couldn’t get rid of it It was secretly influencing itspeople
That night, Gu Shenwei headed to Southwall Tavern first He discovered tatchmen In order to avoid their attention, he went to the backyard and sneaked into Shopkeeper Lyu’s bedroom Shopkeeper Lyu was his first suspect
At dawn, Shopkeeper Lyu had just finished his business and was startled by the unexpected appearance of the Dragon King He aluards that were outside the rooestions to the Dragon King in the dark He suggested that the Dragon King should either flee back to the Western Region, hide in Hope Alley or approach Four Truths Te to stay in Southwall Tavern
Gu Shenwei asked a few sichai’s threat He then left secretly Lyu Qiying wasn’t the inforon King fro hihtly disappointed Mister Zhao was recommended by Boss Tuo and was respected by South City machetemen He hoped that Mister Zhao was credible
Gu Shenwei arrived at Mister Zhao’s house at daybreak It seemed that the house wasn’t under surveillance He would rather wait until the sun had risen before ju over the wall to enter the house Everyone was less alert at this time of the day
Mister Zhao lived alone He was old and slept uneasily He vaguely realized that there was a person standing before his bed He opened his eyes and recognized the disguised Dragon King fro? Why … Why are you here?”
“Many people are coo”
“Yes” Mister Zhao sat up, put on his clothes slowly and lowered his head He was obviously thinking of an idea He then said, “I know of a place, but it may not be entirely safe It is possible to hide there for two to three days If the Dragon King doesn’t…”
Mister Zhao then kept quiet He was surprised that the Dragon King had drawn his saber out and was pointing it at his bony chest
That single sentence was insufficient to conclude that Mister Zhao was the informer If the other party was Shopkeeper Lyu, then Gu Shenould not have hesitated to kill hi person However, he had to be i an old macheteman, as recommended by Boss Tuo
“I still don’t believe what that killer said,” Gu Shenwei lied
Mister Zhao’s flabby cheeks flushed as though he becaained his coave up on unnecessary lies and self-protection He said, “Tell Boss Tuo that the machetemen now are not the saenuine confession
Gu Shenwei accurately stabbed Mister Zhao’s heart with his saber Blood slowly flowed out He pulled the saber out after the tension at the initial stages of death was lost
This was the first person who the Dragon King had intentionally killed He would kill more people in the next few days It would not only shock the entire Jade City but would also create panic
