Peerless Taoist

They were not the regular garrison army, but the temporary patrol army.    

The cultivation level of these people was not high, and most of them were still at the first step of getting it. They could only use some simple spells, and most of the time, they needed to use the true qi to hurt others.    

However, it was enough to be the reserve army. Most of the elite soldiers went to the city wall to defend against the enemy, and they served as supplementary patrols.    

The Yongjiang Workshop was close to the Spirit Province Court, and it was quite far away from the city walls. As such, it was relatively peaceful here.    

As they were chatting, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded out on the calm road.    

Everyone immediately became alert.    

It was already the time for curfew, who would suddenly come out at this time?    

"Prepare the magical equipment in advance and protect yourself. If anything happens later, immediately give a warning " The leading soldier said in a deep voice.    

After all, their cultivation level wasn't very high. If a high-level cultivator really appeared, it was very likely that he would instantly kill them.    

On the street in the distance, a carriage drove over.    

"Stop right there. The Spiritual State City is currently under curfew at night. No one is allowed to leave. Where did you come from? "    

A soldier with a knife in his hand walked up.    

The coachman did not speak. Instead, the curtain of the carriage was pulled open, revealing a man's face.    

"The Prefecture Overseer is looking for me for an urgent matter. I need to see him now. Open the door." The man said in a deep voice.    

Seeing this man, the surrounding soldiers immediately heaved a sigh of relief.    

This was the head of the Yongjiang Workshop.    

"Sir Fang Zheng, today the government has just issued an order. Without an official document with a great seal, it would be difficult for us to let you pass." The soldiers were a bit hesitant.    

Fang Zheng shouted in a deep voice, "Why do you care so much? Do I look like an evil cultivator? I just received news from the magistrate court that they want me to meet the Prefecture Overseer. If you delay the military aircraft, can you bear the responsibility?! Hurry up, move aside!"    

The soldiers were in a difficult position, but they still did not dare to go against this square.    

In the end, they opened the door and the square left.    

"Why do you think a small manager like him is so unreasonable? Is there something the Prefecture Overseer wants to discuss with him?"    

"Forget it. This is not something we should know. We just need to keep watch."    

The few guards did not seem to realize anything and continued to guard the entrance leisurely.    

Suddenly, the leading lieutenant frowned: "No, we shouldn't have let him go."    

"Why?"    

"[The Prefecture Overseer's conduct is extremely strict, even if he wants to meet Fang Zheng...] I'm sure the other party will be stamped with a great seal. The order to close the gates was issued by the Spirit State Court today. Now, the Prefecture Overseer has ordered Fang Zheng to forcefully break the gates to meet him. Isn't this contradictory?"    

The soldiers looked at each other. That was indeed the case.    

They had no choice but to open the door because of Fang Zheng's power and influence.    

Now that they thought about it, Fang Zheng indeed had many strange things about him.    

"What should we do? He has already been released. If anything happens, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape." Some of the soldiers immediately panicked.    

Although they were the reserve army, they still carried out the military law of Great Yu. If nothing happened, it would be fine, but once something happened, they would be subject to military law immediately.    

The lieutenant thought for a moment and said, "I'll bring two men with me to catch up with them, and you can continue to guard here. Remember, no one is allowed to open the door!"
