I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

At this moment, closing the city gates ahead of time is essentially the same as deliberately blocking the Linjiang Station’s carriage from entering the city.

The sky had already darkened, and without the ability to enter the city, there was but a single path—a path to death.

Even if one thought of turning back to seek a Pure Land, it would certainly be too late.

"Too coincidental,"

Deputy Commander Gu’s brows furrowed slightly.

Under normal circumstances, based on changes in the weather, it was not rare to close the city gates ahead of time.

But at this moment, though the sun had set and the sky was dim, it was not to the extent that required the city gates to be closed early.

"People of the Liu Family."

Deputy Commander Zhou spoke softly, "Within the walls of the inner city, each of the six major families has direct bloodline members holding high positions within the City Guard Mansion."

He glanced at the Deputy Commander and said, "The moment the Flag Commander Wu Chang left the city, this news must have immediately been conveyed to the Liu Family."

The news reached the inner city, and then the order to close the city gates early was determined and sent to the Outer South City gate.
