Chapter 457 - 430 Turns out I was wrong about him, but unfortunately, he’s already dead.
The night deepened, and Marquis Mansion regained its previous tranquility.
Yet within Chongshan Pass, calm had not been restored.
Yang Zhenshan had gone back to his bedroom to tend to his land, but Luo Jingsong and others did not rest. Gu Yunjian did not come alone; there were surely more Star Moon Sect members in the city.
This month, the Camp at the front of Chongshan Pass City was in charge of the city defense. Upon learning of the assassin’s intrusion in the Marquis Mansion, Luo Feiyu, the Guerrilla General of the Camp, and commandant Yang Chengxu immediately led their soldiers to carry out a hunt.
Luo Jingsong and Li Chengguo also joined in the hunt. After all, the people who invaded the Marquis Mansion were from the Star Moon Sect, and no one knew more about the Sect than they did.
They mainly searched the North District because, after nightfall, all gates between the South District and North District were closed, not to be opened by anyone except for the hands directly from the General Mansion’s orders. Even the officials of the Governor’s Office and the leading garrison eunuch do not recognize the Camp’s soldiers.
As for how Gu Yunjian and Kou Rong entered the North City, it was not a difficult task.
At night, it was almost impossible for ordinary people to enter North City, but for Martial Arts Masters, entering North City was quite easy as they could scale the city walls.
Though there were soldiers guarding and patrolling on the walls, their cultivation was relatively low; it was not difficult for them to infiltrate North City quietly.
Besides the barracks, North City contained various government offices and official residences, without general citizens, making the search relatively easy.
Soon, there was some disturbance in North City, and several Martial Artists in black attire were captured by the soldiers.
