Chapter 1759: Xuanwu Guards

"Don't stop me! I'm going to patrol the entrance of the Chengtian Academy! I heard the daughter of the Han family studies there, maybe, I'll have a chance..."

"Brother Zhao, with the current power of the Zhao family, wanting to climb up to the Duke... you're still far off, right?"

"So what? What if the daughter of the Han family falls for me at first sight?"

"Hehe."

"What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing at your Zhao family for producing an idiot. Everyone else is thinking about how to get more oil and water from the palace, how to open more shops on Xuanwu Avenue... but you, your head is full of women!"

"You!!!"

"Brother Sun, I heard your father has been making big moves at the Nanhai Prison recently and has gained a lot of benefits... It seems your Sun family is going to soar again, right?"

"Hehe, don't play dumb. Which one of your families has clean hands? You say my father is skimming oil and water, do you have evidence? If you don't have evidence, shut your mouth!"

"Brother Sun, you'd better be careful later... with your flowery fists and embroidered legs, if you really run into some bad guys, I'm afraid you'll be the first to turn around and run, right?"

"Hmph, my family will naturally send people to protect me in secret, don't you worry about it!"

"Alright, we are all members of the Xuanwu Avenue Guard Camp now, let's all say less, don't hurt the harmony..."

“……”

These black-clad figures walked down the Chengtian Prefecture stairs lazily, mocking and ridiculing each other, and scattered on the street... like a spider web, scattered to every corner of Xuanwu Avenue.

At the same time,

A figure wearing a theatrical robe stepped onto Xuanwu Avenue slowly.

Even though it was late at night, Xuanwu Avenue was still bustling with people. Numerous pedestrians moved through the wide black road, and not many people noticed the red-clad actor walking silently...

He walked quietly among them, like a touch of vermilion in a chaotic torrent, out of place with this world.

Behind him, Li Laide followed closely.

Although Li Laide was calm on the surface, he was a bit nervous inside. Since he became a wanted criminal, he had been fleeing in the dark corners of the Chengtian Domain and hadn't walked openly on such a bustling street for too long...

As he walked, he could already feel several gazes cast toward him. In the surging crowd, it seemed like someone had already discovered him.

You have to know, this was Xuanwu Avenue, the arterial hub of the Chengtian Domain... Crouching tigers and hidden dragons were here, and countless high-ranking officials of the dynasty lived here. Once he was hunted down here, it was almost impossible to escape alive.

Li Laide wanted to remind Chen Ling, but seeing the calm back in the theatrical robe ahead, he didn't speak in the end.

Forget it...

He said he wouldn't be noticed, so he wouldn't be noticed... At worst, he would just pay back the life he owed him.

Just then, a commotion not far away caught Li Laide's attention.

The rushing crowd suddenly cleared a small area, and countless figures were surrounding it, pointing and gesturing at something in one direction.

Li Laide was a bit curious. He narrowed his eyes and looked into the crowd...

The next second, he froze in place.

In the middle of the surrounding crowd, a figure covered in char, his hands transformed into hideous mechanical fragments, was limping forward on the street. He was covered in blood, as if he had just experienced a fierce battle, and his bloodshot eyes were staring fixedly at the direction of the Grand Historian's Office...

Is it him?

Didn't he go to save his sister?

Seeing Li Shangfeng, Li Laide didn't know why, but the script Chen Ling had just written immediately appeared in his mind... His appearance right now was exactly the same as what was described at the end of the script, right?

Is it a coincidence?

Or...

"What's wrong with this guy?!"

"I don't know... smells like char, stinks to death."

"Why are his hands like that? Looks so scary... stay away!"

"Why would such a freak appear on Xuanwu Avenue... Where are the Chengtian Prefecture people? Why haven't they come over yet?"

“……”

Amidst the noise of the crowd, an arrogant young man wearing a black coat pushed through the crowd and arrived here.

"What's going on? Why are you all gathered here??" the young man said impatiently. When he saw Li Shangfeng in the crowd, he was also startled and looked him up and down suspiciously for a long time...

"Who are you?!"

"My name is Li Shangfeng." Li Shangfeng had been prepared for a long time and answered loudly, "Brand from the Grand Historian's Office sent people to kidnap my sister and burned down my repair shop. I'm going to find him to seek justice!"

Li Shangfeng knew very well that with his own strength, it was almost impossible to defeat the Grand Historian's Office... If he were to swallow his anger and really become a dog for these thugs who kidnapped his sister, he might as well be killed.

Therefore, his only way was to make this matter big, big enough that even the Grand Historian's Office couldn't suppress it...

Only then could he have a glimmer of hope.

The Grand Historian's Office?

Hearing these three words, the young man's eyes narrowed slightly.

The Grand Historian's Office had a good relationship with their Sun family, and that Brand often came to visit their home with gifts... He could be considered a guest of his father.

Hearing this freak in front of him accuse the Grand Historian's Office as soon as he opened his mouth, the young man felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure...

He was just a rich kid. If it were normal times, he naturally couldn't help his family with anything, but now he was a guard of Xuanwu Avenue, and this person happened to be accusing the Grand Historian's Office. Didn't that just fall right into his hands?

He didn't care about justice or right and wrong. He had finally managed to get this position, so he naturally had to show his value to his family.

"You lunatic, your words don't make sense, are you mentally ill?" the young man accused even louder.

"What kind of existence is the Grand Historian's Office? Would they target your crappy repair shop and kidnap your sister? I think you're holding a weapon on the street, aren't you a thug trying to disrupt the order of Xuanwu Avenue... Come here! Take him down! Interrogate him properly!!"

At the young man's order, several figures emerged from the surrounding crowd, grabbing Li Shangfeng's hands and feet, and forcibly locking him in place with brute force.

Li Shangfeng didn't expect that he hadn't done anything yet, and the Xuanwu Avenue guards had already taken him into custody... He immediately struggled violently!

"What are you doing?!"

"I haven't hurt anyone, and I haven't affected the order of Xuanwu Avenue! Why are you taking me into custody?!"

"Everything I said is true!! The killer sent by Brand died in the power plant to the east! Isn't your Chengtian Prefecture best at solving cases? Send someone to investigate! Won't everything be clear then?!"

"Let me go! I'm not talking nonsense!! Everything I said is true!! Let me go!!!"
