Chapter 1272: Darkness Under the Lamp

But just then.

Tap tap tap...

The sound of countless horses' hooves thundered from outside Changsheng Town. A squad of armored guards charged in, their arrival causing the roadside vendors and passersby to shrink back with fear, huddling silently on both sides of the road.

The people of Changsheng Town are indeed "immortals," but their arrogance is only relative to those outside Changsheng Town. In front of the guards, they dare not act out of line.

Ye Fusheng stood in the crowd, a bad premonition filling his heart. If he guessed correctly, it should be for him

"Call!"

The first guard, clad in silver armor and riding a fine steed, stopped just as he entered Changsheng Town. His gaze was cold as he commanded, "Two of you stay here and guard the exit. From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"The rest of you, one person per alley, search thoroughly!"

"Yes!"

The guards behind him answered in unison, then quickly dispersed, forming a straight line. Each man searched an alleyway. If one were to look down from above, they would see them advancing in a straight line, leaving no blind spots.

Wow!

The crowd on the street suddenly began to stir.

"What's going on Why are the guards mobilizing"

"Yes, normally it's the Ghost Clerk who goes out. If it involves guards, then it must be a big event!"

“I heard that a country bumpkin came to Beimen and even dared to fight. Could it be that he’s here to arrest him”

Ye Fu Sheng's face turned grave, there was no doubt about it, these guards were here to arrest him. He didn't expect them to move so quickly.

Looking around, there's nowhere to hide. Any slight movement will surely be noticed.

There's one advantage right now: both side alleys are being searched by guards, but this central street hasn't been yet.

Ye Fu Sheng looked at the two guards in front of him guarding the gate. The guard at the head, riding a fine horse, roamed back and forth with an imposing air.

Suddenly, someone shouted loudly, "Sir, could you please tell us what's going on We want to help too!"

Wealth and honor are fraught with peril, especially during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

If he were to remember to search this street, he would surely be exposed. After all, they have all lived here for a hundred years and know each other well. A simple question would reveal that he doesn't belong here.

So, seize the opportunity for yourself!

Upon hearing this.

The people around instantly fell silent. They first glanced at Ye Fusheng, then all turned to look at the guards ahead, curious as well.

The guard at the front, holding the reins, glanced coldly at Ye Fusheng and said indifferently, “Guards do their duties. You are not allowed to interfere. Just stand there and mind your own business!”

Ye Fusheng naturally couldn't just keep quiet like that, or what difference would it make from waiting for death

He tentatively asked, "Is it related to that country bumpkin"

"You..."

The head guard glared angrily, instinctively raising his soul-crushing whip to strike Ye Fusheng. However, seeing that everyone on the street was watching, he couldn't be too arrogant and domineering.

"Hmph. Do you know where he is"

Ye Fu Sheng saw his chance and quickly dashed out of the crowd, taking three steps in two as he reached the front guard.

Whispered, "My lord, although I don't know where he is now, I know how to find him."

"Hm" The guard looked down, sneering.

Ye Fushen continued, "My Lord, no matter what he came to Changsheng Town for, he would eventually have to return to his residence. Especially since you personally searched it, the most likely thing he wants to do now is leave Changsheng Town."

"As the saying goes, "A besieged city must have a breach." By blocking his exit now, you are forcing him deeper into hiding. This will not only hinder your search but also increase the risk of him being caught and destroyed, which could negatively impact you as well."

"It's better to leave a gap, deliberately open the door, and then have some people pretend to come in and out. I believe that for the sake of leaving, he will definitely take a risk."

The guard's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, because he was indeed worried that the fellow would be caught and punished severely. The fact that he could call out from within the stone prison and overpower two guards effortlessly proved his capabilities.

Right now, having the guards search only puts pressure on him and forces him out. The real action of apprehending him has to be done by myself.

Following this guy's strategy might actually lower the risk, worth a shot.

"The proposal is good. You can find someone to impersonate, remember not too many people, lest he gets mixed in, and the people shouldn't be strangers, lest you can't recognize them."

Ye Fu Sheng immediately clasped his fists and said, “Thank you, Lord, for your trust.”

In the midst of their conversation, he turned his head and shouted, "You, you... come here!"

Ye Fushen pointed at over twenty people consecutively.

These people, having not heard the previous conversation, approached cautiously.

Ye Fusheng stood tall and chest out, “From now on, you all listen to my command. Remember, report any strangers immediately, keep your eyes peeled. If anything goes wrong, I won't go easy on you.”

The guard's eyes flickered with disdain upon hearing this. What was he pretending to be

Since he's still somewhat useful, I just ignore him.

These people nodded repeatedly, not afraid of Ye Fusheng, but afraid of the guards beside him.

Ye Fusheng said again, "I'll go out first. You watch my state, then call your whole family to come out of the town. Remember, walk about a thousand zhang and then turn back. Also, when you go out, keep a distance and act as naturally as possible, understand"

"Understood." These people nodded in agreement.

Ye Fushen waved his hand: "Go!"

These people turned around and called their families back to the crowd.

Ye Fu Sheng immediately walked out of the gate, strolling leisurely. He passed two guards stationed at the gate who gave him a slight nod. These two guards looked down on him with disdain and were too lazy to respond.

Ye Fu Sheng didn't think he was being ridiculous. He swaggered out of Changsheng Town, his pace quickening as he walked ten paces, then twenty paces, his speed increasing again and again.

After fifty paces, his speed had doubled.

And within Changsheng Town.

The lead guard was still on horseback, pacing back and forth along the street. He appeared casual, but his eyes were constantly scanning every inch of the road. No one could move out of place without him noticing.

Seeing the first group of "civilians" come, there were quite a few, just one family had over ten people, men, women and children. Although they didn't act like it, it was indeed an opportunity for that lawless fellow. To put it mildly, even if he didn't take the risk, he wouldn't lose anything to himself, it was just acting.

If he were to truly block off all roads, he would directly lead to a situation where both sides suffer casualties. He would also have to take responsibility for the damage…

Thinking of this.

His body suddenly trembled.

"A fish dies, and the net is broken"

That person's strength is known only to a handful of people inside, not even the guards who accompany him know. But why was that man able to say this just now

He suddenly turned his head to look outside Changsheng Town, but Ye Fusheng's figure was gone.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the shop in front of him, asking nervously, "Do you recognize that man from before Have you ever seen him"

They looked at each other and shook their heads.

The guard quickly turned to face forward and shouted, “Who here has seen that person just now Does anyone know him”

Every face on the street turned to look at each other, then simultaneously shook their heads.

Seeing this scene.

The head guard was furious. He never expected to be tricked like this, who would have thought he would dare stand up

Turn swiftly and ride with all speed.

"When I catch you, I'll personally send you to the 18th layer of hell!"r, and at that time, I wouldn't be your opponent. It's a pity...you are not yet a Human Emperor, far too short!"As soon as the words left his mouth.Ye Fusheng had already arrived before her, his hand...
