Night, Nanya Military Camp.
"Pass down my order. Close all the city gates and double the number of soldiers guarding the city gates!
In addition, there will be a crossbowman hidden on the city wall every five steps. The sentry tower will also be replaced with the person with the best eyesight. I want it to be so that not even a fly can fly out of the city.
If anyone were to climb over the city walls, kill them without mercy!”
Following a stern order from a burly general, groups of imperial guards quickly spread out, leading their subordinates to the gates and walls of Chang 'an.
At the same time.
In the North Ya Army Camp.
"His Majesty has ordered the entire city to capture the assassin. From now on, the assassin's portrait will be posted overnight to warn all the citizens.
Those who report have merit!
Those who harbored assassins were exterminated!
Don't let go of any place. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you have to find the assassin!”
"Yes, Great Commander!"
Rumble!
Fully armed figures rode out on warhorses.
The Left and Right Guards, Left and Right Xiao Guards, Left and Right Prestige Guards, Left and Right Martial Guards, Left and Right Jinwu Guards, Left and Right Leading Guards, Left and Right Prison Guards, Left and Right Thousand Bull Guards, almost half of them were mobilized.
As for the seventy thousand soldiers stationed on the outskirts of the city, they continued to guard the main roads to the capital.
Within the Imperial City.
They still had a hundred cavalry wearing beast battle robes, along with a thousand cavalry that were rapidly expanding, as the main defensive force.
Of course, there were also 10,000 Yuancong Imperial Army soldiers.
Because of the shocking assassination in the day, the entire Chang 'an City was shrouded in a layer of dark clouds.
All the citizens shut their doors and waited for the night to pass quickly.
He also hoped that the assassin would be caught as soon as possible and that Chang 'an would be at peace.
Rumble!
"His Majesty has ordered that the entire city be under martial law to capture the assassin and kill anyone who harbors him!”
Troops of Imperial Army soldiers poured into the streets and alleys of Chang 'an, knocking on doors and searching. The sound of their armor clashing against each other was like a surging tide in the dark night.
The people of Chang 'an were in danger. They huddled together with their families and allowed the officers and soldiers to search them.
In addition to the Imperial Army, the constables in Chang 'an County and Wannian County were also mobilized to search for the assassin.
The rain was still falling.
At the back mountain of Puzhao Temple.
A figure flew over in the heavy rain.
He didn't stop until he reached an empty lawn surrounded by trees. He suddenly stabbed the long knife in his hand into the ground.
Then, he bent his head and knelt on one knee on the ground. His wet hair covered most of his face.
Today.
He had killed so many people, even more than in his previous life.
However…
He didn't feel any pleasure from taking revenge.
When he questioned the Thousand Cavalry Commander, Qi Sha, the fog in his heart did not dissipate. Instead, it became even thicker.
"Father, mother, why is it like this? You have never provoked any enemies in your life. Why would someone want to frame you and kill you?”
Lin Che knelt in the rain for several hours.
This was a safe place he had found after entering Chang 'an.
In an open space in the forest behind Puzhao Temple.
The temple was very quiet.
It was quieter here.
Sometimes, he could even hear the Sanskrit of some monks.
But Lin Che didn't come here to wash away the hatred in his heart with this kind of Buddhist chant.
Lin Che had a habit in his previous life.
Before and after each murder, they would go to a temple.
He wanted the temple to give him a moment of peace and let him forget everything.
Like this.
He would be able to completely separate himself from the lives of ordinary people and clearly remember that he was just an assassin.
And in this life.
Was there any difference between him, who had his entire family exterminated, and the lonely and cold him in his previous life?
Lin Che let go of the Bizarre Blade and laid down on the grass.
He allowed the heavy rain to wet his entire body.
He wanted to rest for a while. After he rested well, tomorrow…Continue to kill!
Unknowingly, he fell asleep.
In the dream.
The scenes of him spending time with his parents since he was young flashed through his mind.
Because he had killed too many people during the day and was drenched in too much rain, Lin Che's body temperature was dropping rapidly. He was shivering because of the cold.
At the same time.
As he was quietly reuniting with his parents in his dream, Lin Che did not notice that there was a pair of eyes quietly watching him from a bush not far away.
