Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 355 Capture

"What do you know! Those who achieve great things should not be fussy about small matters!"

Magistrate He's eyes were wide open and bloodshot, like two burning flames, emitting madness and heat.

He was extremely emotional, roaring loudly, every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "I have been the prefect for decades, but because I don't have a strong background, I have been guarding this small Yanling City and have not been able to make any progress for decades! Now, as long as I can get in touch with that person, he will become my stepping stone to success and help me climb all the way up!"

His wife tried to step forward to dissuade him, but he pushed her hard, causing her to lose balance and fall to the ground in a mess.

Prefect He turned a blind eye to this, still immersed in his own crazy fantasy, muttering to himself: "This is a great opportunity given to me by God! If I can't grasp it, what's the point of living? I might as well just commit suicide!"

Magistrate He's wife collapsed on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

At this moment, she was full of resentment and cursed the culprit - her own brother - countless times in her heart.

If he hadn't been so stupid as to cause all these troubles, her husband wouldn't have fallen into such a crazy situation.

Outside the room, Mingyue heard their conversation clearly. He was burning with anger, and felt extremely indignant at this kind of person who completely disregarded the lives of ordinary people for his own selfish interests.

However, Mingyue knew that the most urgent task was to find the master first and try every means to rescue him safely.

As for Lord He, as long as the superior is successfully rescued, we will definitely find a way to bring him to justice.

Thinking of this, Mingyue did not stay here for too long.

He turned around quietly, like an agile night cat, and groped towards other rooms.

It didn't take long for Mingyue to find Shen Lie's location. He approached the room cautiously and peeked inside through the gap in the window.

Shen Lie looked slightly pale, sitting weakly on a stool, and looked a little haggard.

Beside him, there were five soldiers in fine armor, guarding him as if they were facing a great enemy. Each soldier had a vigilant look in his eyes, always paying attention to every move around him.

When Mingyue was in the Night Patrol Division, he heard from his predecessors that when performing some covert missions, one must not stare at the target for a long time.

Because the masters were extremely sensitive to sight, they would instantly notice if someone was staring at them. Therefore, Mingyue only took a quick glance and quickly looked away, no longer looking at the soldiers.

He knew that there were five people on the other side, and those who were sent to guard Shen Lie must be extraordinary. He could not easily handle it with his own strength.

Besides, Shen Lie is still in their hands. If these soldiers take Shen Lie as a hostage to threaten them, no matter how capable they are, they will be cautious and dare not act rashly.

Just when Mingyue was extremely anxious and racking his brains to think of a solution, he suddenly found that Shen Lie in front of him seemed to glance inadvertently in his direction.

Mingyue's heart suddenly moved, and he instantly realized that Shen Lie had discovered him. He quickly looked at Shen Lie again, only to see Shen Lie nodded slightly at him, his movements were extremely covert.

Mingyue understood what he meant. He quickly took out a mind-seeing mirror from his arms and pushed open the window.

With a creaky sound, the window was pushed open with force, making a harsh noise.

This sudden movement instantly attracted the attention of the five soldiers. They reacted quickly and turned to look in the direction of the window.

However, what they saw was only a mirror emitting a strange golden light.

This mirror seemed to have some special power. As the light flashed, it captured their minds for a second.

This seemingly short second is enough to accomplish many things for an expert.

At this moment, there was a sound of "swoosh", and five heads covered with blood foam shot up into the sky, and blood mist filled the air!

Mingyue quickly jumped in from the window. After landing firmly on the ground, he lowered his voice and asked, "Master, are you okay?"

Shen Lie slowly stood up, moving his hands and feet which were slightly stiff due to being imprisoned for a long time, smiled slightly, and said softly: "I'm fine. Do you know where the prefect He is now?"

Mingyue nodded without hesitation and quickly responded, "I know! I passed by where he was on the way here."

"That's good, take me there quickly."

Shen Lie's tone suddenly became solemn, and his expression was serious: "This Governor He has worked hard in Yanling City for many years and has a deep foundation. If he is really desperate and fights us to the death and launches a mutiny, we will probably be in trouble."

Shen Lie knew very well that the members of the Night Patrol Division usually carried out their tasks separately unless there was a major incident that required an emergency call-up.

Therefore, there would definitely not be too many people coming to rescue him this time, only three or four at most.

Although every member of the Night Patrol Division is a master with unique skills, they are helpless because the opponent is a well-trained army with a large number of people. They are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers and cannot compete with them head-on.

When Mingyue heard this, she realized the urgency of the matter. Without saying a word, she immediately ran to help Shen Lie open the door of the room.

As she stepped out of the room, Mingyue subconsciously glanced at the bloody room behind her. She saw five headless corpses lying on the ground in a mess, with blood spreading on the ground, which was shocking.

He swallowed calmly, thinking back to the scene just now, and couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

He didn't even have time to see how Shen Lie made his move. In a flash, everything was over.

This gave him a deeper understanding of Shen Lie's strength, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The strength of the lord is truly extraordinary!

Under Mingyue's guidance, the two quickly headed in the direction of Prefect He.

Relying on Shen Lie's strength, Magistrate He was caught off guard and had no room for resistance, and was captured by Shen Lie in one fell swoop.

With the capture of Magistrate He, the lead-like dark clouds that had been hanging over Yanling City finally dissipated, and light and peace returned to the city.

The soldiers inside and outside the city who were originally under the command of Prefect He were also dispersed by Shen Lie. Shen Lie asked them to return to their original lives and do whatever they should do.

After all, most of these soldiers were just following orders and had not committed any unforgivable crimes, so they should not be implicated too much.

As for the three brothers of the Zhao family, they managed to escape thanks to the intentional help of Cheng Fengzi and Yan Huaiyang.

However, they were already guilty and now their identities were exposed in front of everyone, so the Night Patrol would naturally not let them go easily.

After that, the Night Patrol will definitely launch a wanted order for them. If they want to save their lives, they can only flee Yongguo, go far away and avoid being hunted down.

However, Mingyue and Cheng Fengzi did not forget the original cause of the incident, which was the case of multiple missing persons.

Although Mingyue had overheard some information revealed by Magistrate He before, she knew that this matter was closely related to the offspring of a certain important figure.

However, this Magistrate He was very stubborn. No matter how Shen Lie and others interrogated him, he refused to reveal any information about the big shot he wanted to get close to.

Even about the missing case, he remained tight-lipped and refused to say a word.

Seeing that Magistrate He was so stubborn, Mingyue and Cheng Fengzi had no choice but to conduct the investigation on their own.
