On the official road, over a hundred armored knights carrying sabers and swords urged their flood dragon horses to gallop.
This group was led by Chu Ying of the Imperial Censorate's Bozhou Thousand Households.
Among them, there is a state city Duwei Fu He, thousands of households by hundreds of households Qi. The rest of Chu Ying's personal entourage, the general flag, small flag, bad marshal and so on.
As one of the Thousand Households of a prefecture, Chu Ying was naturally a Connate realm expert and had even reached the Marrow Cleansing realm.
His subordinate, Commandant He, was also a Xiantian expert.
As for that Centurion Qi, he was a spirit cultivator.
The reason why he brought him along was because this Centurion Qi was extremely skilled in tracking and investigating. He was a special talent.
Of course, a Yin Spirit Realm cultivator had extraordinary combat strength, and the flying sword in his hand was a middle-grade magic weapon. It wasn't something that the female centurion who had been beheaded with a single sword could compare to.
A few hours later, Chu Ying led his subordinates and rushed to the county town. He showed his token on his horse and rode into the city without waiting for the captain to respond.
He left behind two personal guards of the bad commander to reveal their identities.
When he learned that these people were the Black Knights of the Imperial Censorate, the city guard captain respectfully agreed and did not dare to be negligent.
Although the Imperial Censorate had not been established for long, the weight of the four words "imperial privilege" was not something a ninth rank lieutenant like him dared to contradict.
Even their immediate superior, the county magistrate, did not dare to say anything.
The hundred or so cavalry arrived outside the Rearguard Commandery. The flood dragons and horses neighed and stopped.
At this moment, the large manor that was the cover of the Rearguard Commandery was already surrounded by soldiers and officers of the county government.
Hundreds of people were slaughtered, leaving no one alive. This was a big case. After the county magistrate received the news, he naturally sent people over to protect the scene and investigate the matter.
Moreover, he had already sent a message to the governor of Bozhou.
"My lord, my lord."
In the courtyard, the county magistrate and the county deputy looked at the coroner carefully examining the corpse with a solemn expression. A soldier from the yamen hurried over and bowed.
"Milord, the Imperial Censorate's Black Knights have arrived outside!”
"Imperial Censorate!" The county magistrate and the county deputy in thin armor looked at each other and then hurriedly walked in the direction of the manor gate.
Before they reached the second entrance, Chu Ying, who was dressed in a warrior's robe, had already entered with a group of Black Knights.
Looking at the black-faced Chu Ying, the county magistrate and the deputy quickly bowed and said,""Greetings, sirs!"
"You are the county magistrate?" Chu Ying looked at the county magistrate and asked.
"Replying to Milord, I am.”
"Take your men and leave. The county magistrate will stay behind and lead the troops to seal off the surroundings of the courtyard.”
"Here."
"Here!"
The county magistrate did not dare to be negligent. After responding, he let the coroner and other officials, as well as the soldiers of the county government, leave the mansion. The county magistrate also left, leading the prefecture soldiers to guard the outer perimeter.
"Centurion Qi!"
"I'm here!" Centurion Qi stood up and cupped his hands in greeting.
"Let's begin."
"Here!"
Soon after, Centurion Qi led a few subordinates to inspect the scene and examine the corpses.
Chu Ying frowned as he looked at the courtyard full of corpses. He waved his hand and called over a commander."Eagle's urgent message said that there are survivors. Bring people to bring them over from the east of the city.”
"Here!"
After the commander accepted the order, he waved his hand and left with a few small flags. In the front courtyard, there were more than ten bad commanders following him.
After a cup of tea's time, Centurion Qi came over.
"My lord!"
"How is it?" Chu Ying asked anxiously.
"Milord, after an investigation, Commandant Luo is not in the manor. The others were either pierced through the heart by a sword or beheaded. No one in the mansion showed any signs of fighting.”
"That's why I can't see any changes in the moves.”
"In addition, this subordinate discovered that the corpses in the courtyard were all carried out from the front courtyard or the surrounding houses. There are also corpses in the backyard, and the death conditions are the same.”
"In other words, the Rearguard Commandery, which consisted of more than a hundred people, didn't even have the chance to resist these mysterious murderers before they were all killed?”Chu Ying's expression changed drastically as he asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, including the two centurions of the Rearguard Commandery that we found in the backyard!”Centurion Qi bowed and replied.
"Hiss…" Commandant He's expression changed as well. Then, he thought of something and approached Chu Ying. He whispered,""Milord, King Jing has been passing by recently.”
" Moreover, according to you, the living Chief Banner belongs to the Hundred Households Office of Luo Town. Could it be…"
Shua, Chu Ying raised his arm and stopped Commandant He from continuing.
After a moment of silence, he said,"Send someone to contact the spies in the Yue Cavalry camp using a secret code. See if the two warriors and four sword guards around King Jing have left."”
"The Vietnamese Cavalry Battalion definitely cannot be moved lightly. If King Jing really made a move, then it could only be the two warriors beside him and the four sword attendants.”
"These few people should be Connate Realm experts.”
"Here, this subordinate will immediately arrange for someone to do it.”With that, Commandant He turned around and walked to the side. He called over a commander and gave his orders. The commander cupped his fists and left with the two small flags.
Not long after, the chief who left first brought his subordinates and carried a person in.
"Lord Thousand Households, Chief Flag Fu Lin is here.”
Glancing at the frail Chief Flag Fu Lin lying on the wooden stretcher, Chu Ying took a few steps to the side and asked the Chief Flag,"
"Have you confirmed your injuries?"
"Yes, I have." " Yes." The general bowed and replied," The left side of his chest was pierced by a sword. However, because Fu Lin's heart was on the right side, it was not shattered. He was only injured by the shock."”
"After he woke up, he took a life-saving pill in time and rushed to the Rearguard Commandery. When he found out that something had happened to the Rearguard Commandery, he headed to the news station in the east of the city.”
"When we arrived at the rouge shop, the person almost died. The chief in charge spent a lot of effort to save him.”
"After the incident, we sent people to investigate and confirmed that the Commander of the Fulin Army first arrived at the Rearguard Commandery and then hurriedly drove a carriage to the east of the city.”
"Yes, I know." Nodding, Chu Ying turned around, returned to Fu Lin's side, and squatted down.
"Chief Flag Fu, I am Chu Ying of the Thousand Households of Bozhou.”
"Qian, Qian Hu, the Commandant is dead, the Centurion and the others are dead, those people….. Cough cough cough…"
"Don't be agitated, Chief Fu. I need you to calm down and tell me everything that happened.”Chu Ying took out a medicinal pill and fed it to him before softly comforting him.
"Yes, my lord."
“……”
Then, Fu Lin told him about the attack on the centurion. The figures of the masked and armored warriors were also introduced.
However, he hid the fact that he and the other two female delinquents had told on him.
Other than him, everyone else in the Hundred Households of Luo Town had been killed. He was the only one who knew about the matter of revealing the location of the Rearguard Commandery.
Fu Lin was naturally clear about the consequences of speaking of this matter. He naturally could not take the initiative to speak of it.
