Reception

Night is gradually falling.

At this moment, in a simple and unpretentious house.

General Longwei was sitting on the bed with his eyes closed and regulating his breathing.

After a day of recuperation, the poison from the Ten Fragrance Softening Muscle Powder in his body had been forced out for the most part, and he was basically fine.

However, the whole city was under martial law, all checkpoints were blocked, and red wanted posters were posted everywhere. Even if he recovered his strength, he could not escape from the royal city.

I can only live here temporarily to avoid the limelight.

As for the original owner of the house, he had become a corpse.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

General Long Wei in the bedroom immediately opened his eyes and grabbed the knife beside him.

"Who is it?"

Several guards of the Fire Army in the living room became alert. Two of them quietly drew their swords and stood on either side of the door.

"It's me."

A familiar voice sounded.

Several of the Fire Army's personal guards breathed a sigh of relief.

He took a look through the crack in the door, and after confirming that it was one of his own, he quickly opened the door.

Standing outside the door was an ordinary-looking man in black. He looked unremarkable at first glance, but his eyes were very sharp.

"Third brother! It's already dark, why did you come back just now? We all thought something happened to you!" A bearded man said.

"There were too many patrol teams on the road. Fortunately, I was alert, otherwise I might not have been able to get back." The man in black took off his hat, picked up the water cup on the table and took a sip.

"How is it? Is the mission completed?" The bearded man went to the door and looked out. After making sure that no one was following him, he quickly closed the door.

"Fortunately, we have accomplished our mission. We have already contacted them. They said they will arrange someone to escort us out of the city tonight." said the man in black.

"Too bad! I'll report to the general right away!" The bearded man's face lit up with joy.

Just as he was about to enter the bedroom, the door was already opened.

The burly General Long Wei stepped out, his complexion returning to normal.

"No need to report, I've heard it all."

General Long Wei looked the man in black up and down and nodded in approval: "San'er, you did a good job. If I can escape this time, you will be the first."

"It's my duty, I dare not take the blame." The man in black immediately bowed his head.

"You guys are all my most trustworthy people. Even if you leave the royal city and West Lucozia, I can ensure that you will live a life of wealth and worry-free." General Long Wei said.

"Thank you, General!" Several guards of the Fire Army saluted with their fists clasped.

"San'er, is there any other noise outside?" General Longwei asked again.

"There are few pedestrians, patrol teams are everywhere, and all the important entrances are guarded by soldiers. Without the royal palace token, you can't get in or out."

Speaking of this, the man in black seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became serious: "Oh, by the way, I think I saw General Shi in the sky."

"General Shi? Which General Shi?" General Longwei raised his eyebrows.

"Dragon Guard --- Shi Changning!" the man in black said in a serious tone.

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of several guards present changed one after another, and even General Long Wei's expression became solemn.

The Dragon Guards were powerful, and the news had long spread among the army, it was no exaggeration to describe them as the most elite troops in West Lucozia.

Any one of them can be a capable general in any army.

As the leader of the Dragon Guard, Shi Changning’s strength is even more unfathomable.

Even in his prime, General Long Wei was not sure he could defeat the opponent.

It can be predicted that once surrounded by the Dragon Guards, all of them will have no way to escape.

"Third brother, are you sure it's Shi Changning? Are you sure you're not mistaken?" the bearded man asked tentatively.

The man in black thought for a moment and nodded, "I've met Shi Changning once before, and it must be him when I meet him today, there's no mistake!"

"That's troublesome!" The bearded man frowned.

If they were an ordinary patrol team, they would be confident that they could fight their way out even if they had to fight with swords.

But when it comes to talking to Shi Changning and Dragon Guards, the situation is completely different.

Not to mention that there are only a few people now, even if all the Fire Army gathered together, they might not be able to stop the Dragon Guard.

"So what if they are the Dragon Guards? As long as our people arrive in time, even the Dragon Guards can't do anything to us!" General Longwei snorted coldly.

Dragon Guards are powerful, but he also has helpers.

Even if they do meet, it is still unknown who will win.

"General, who are the people who are here to pick us up?" the bearded man asked curiously.

"Why ask so many questions? You will know it when the time comes." General Long Wei glanced at him.

"I was wrong." The bearded man smiled awkwardly.

"While there is still time, let's eat something and take a rest to conserve our energy. There might be a fierce battle tonight." General Long Wei glanced at the dark sky outside the window.

If he could take advantage of the situation and sneak out of the royal city, escaping from West Lucozia would not be a problem with his skills.

But if there is any accident, they will have to fight to the death. - Ton
