C168 The night is so hazy

Gongsun Ztian took advantage of the darkness of the night to enter the courtyard. In a little while, he found the bedroom of the general on duty. Gongsun Ztian listened attentively. He could only hear the sound of heavy breathing. He was certain that there was only one man in the room, and that there was no one else.

Gongsun Ztian thought for a bit and understood. Maybe it was because they were on patrol the next day, there was only the general in the bedroom. There was no sign of any concubines. Perhaps he was afraid of delaying the actual work on duty the next day.

Gongsun Ztian's short figure flashed on a tree branch and disappeared from where he stood. In the next second, he appeared under a window in his bedroom.

There was a slight creaking sound as the wooden window was opened. Then, Gongsun Ze Tian entered the house.

Borrowing the moonlight that was shining inside, Gongsun Ztian's eyes swept over the furnishings in the room. The room was swept clean, and there was not a single trace of odour in the bedroom.

He looked at the general who was in his middle years, but his temples had already turned white. Although he was only a deputy general who was guarding the city gate, he was still very disciplined and prudent. While Gongsun Ze Tian admired him in his heart, he also knew that the general might be the type of person who did not know what to expect.

"Looks like I'll have to inconvenience you, but I will compensate you in other ways!" Gongsun Ze Tian sighed in his heart. Although he was a bit apologetic, but thinking of the chance he could give him to show off, Gongsun Ze Tian felt less indebted to him.

Gongsun Ztian took out a bell and started shaking it rhythmically. Then, something horrifying happened. The middle-aged general suddenly opened his eyes and slowly sat up.

"And then? And then? What happened next? " Lan Er stared at Gongsun Zaitian nervously. She wanted to hear more, but she was afraid to.

"Do you want to continue listening to me? Sit still and listen to me!" Gongsun Ztian said somewhat impatiently.

"Alright, big sister Lan Er, quickly sit down and continue listening to the story." Leng Nuohan advised Lan Er with a face full of smiles.

"Oh!" Lan Er returned to her seat obediently and continued to listen to Gongsun Zaitian's' story '.

? ?.

When the general on duty sat up, he did not have any reaction. His originally bright and spirited eyes, however, now looked extremely lifeless, as if they were completely lifeless.

"What's your name?" Gongsun Ztian jumped from the rooftop to the ground, arriving in front of the general on duty. He waved his hand in front of his lifeless eyes and realized that he still had no reaction. Thus, Gongsun Ztian asked.

"I am Cheng Zhipeng!" A rough voice answered.

"Do you want to leave this place? To be a true general? " Gongsun Ze Tian asked with a smile.

"Of course I want to. I've always wanted to fight in the battlefield, but unfortunately, I've fallen to a deputy general guarding the city gates." The General Cheng replied.

As he said this, Gongsun Zaitian could actually feel an indescribable sadness from his body. Perhaps it was the result of his long years of failure that caused him to feel proud, but he could only stay depressed in this kind of place.

"I will give you a chance! But I need you to help me with something! " Gongsun Ztian's smile became even wider as he spoke in a rather soothing voice.

"What is it!" The rough voice sounded again.

"Tomorrow, when you hear the words' beheading a tree ', you will immediately lead your men to the forest in the southwest part of the city to behead the trees. Then, you can use your horses to drag them back to the east side of the city. Are you clear about this?" Gongsun Ztian said.

"Yes!" The General Cheng replied.

"When you hear the bell again, you can go back to sleep. Everything that happened tonight will be forgotten after you wake up. You just need to fulfill my request!" Gongsun Ztian said to the person in front of him.

"En!" After the rough voice replied, there was no other sound.

"Ding Ling Ling!" After Gongsun Ztian rang the bell in his hand once again, the general on duty closed his still lifeless eyes and laid down on the bed once again, snoring loudly.

"Completely done, don't worry. I, Gongsun Ztian, have done it!" Gongsun Ze Tian said to the already sound asleep general in his heart.

Gongsun Ze Tian agilely jumped out of the window once again. After that, there was a creaking sound as the window closed. The ground where Gongsun Ze Tian stood sent up a few specks of dust, but he still disappeared from where he stood.

"You probably haven't come back yet, right? According to your description, you should have gone to another place! " Leng Nuohan's voice rang out. Looking at Gongsun Zaitian's expression as if he was looking at a monster, she could not help but feel somewhat pleased with herself.

"No way, you can even calculate that? I really admire you! " Gongsun Ze Tian had originally planned to take them back to the manor, but after Leng Nuohan said this, her plans went down the drain.

"Speak!" Leng Nuohan mischievously urged.

? ?.

After leaving the Cheng Residence, Gongsun Zaitian did not head straight home. Instead, he headed towards the Surveillance Council's encampment. There were many branches in the Imperial Overwatch Council, especially in large cities at the county level. There, there, too, was a branch, and the person in charge of the branch was the relieving stroke. Gongsun Ze's goal was to find the Surveillance Council.

Under the cover of the night, Gongsun Ztian's' petite 'figure, coupled with his unique lightening skill, rapidly traversed across the rooftops of the city. And to Gongsun Zaitian, the undulating roof was as flat as the floor.

The intelligence network of the Listening Rain Pavilion had long since gathered all the various branches and bases of the various powers in the city. Hence, Gongsun Ze Tian easily found the location of the Surveillance Council.

Although the Surveillance Council was the supervisor of a hundred officials, if there was no order from the Surveillance Council's courtyard, then they could only carry out related investigations or gather some necessary information. In order to prevent the Surveillance Council from becoming a powerful secret service, a majority of the authority in the local branch of Surveillance Council was taken back. Furthermore, the Surveillance Council in the capital was directly responsible to the Emperor. Normally, the majority of the Surveillance Council's external actions would come from the orders of the Emperor, and a small portion would be handled by the President of the Council. Of course, the result would have to be reported to the Emperor.

Regarding the Fengyang County's actions, the Surveillance Council had long ago sent people to pay attention to them. However, because the emperor had no choice but to go through with it, the Surveillance Council did not touch this county governor named Wu Daode for a long time. Even if they did not capture Wu Daode, it did not mean that the Surveillance Council ignored him.

"Hehe, it's easy on the outside but tight on the inside. As expected of the Surveillance Council, they sure set up a good sentry post!" Gongsun Ztian arrived at the tallest building closest to the Surveillance Council and looked down at the courtyard of the Surveillance Council branch.

"It seems that with my current strength, wanting to enter without alarming the guards of Surveillance Council would take a lot of effort!" Gongsun Ze Tian observed for a while, then sighed and said helplessly.

Then, Gongsun Ze Tian disappeared from the rooftop of the tall building. Like a ghost in the dark night, he shuttled across the city.

The sound of a stone hitting the ground woke up the sentry sentry in the southeast corner of the yard. Then, these Surveillance Council's spies displayed their high degree of mobility and coordination. The hidden sentry didn't move. The patrolling officers did.

"Meow meow ?" A gray and white kitten appeared on top of the wall. Because of the darkness of the night, the Surveillance Council's spies saw that it was a plopping kitten and relaxed their guard.

However, even if they did not let down their guard, it was useless. Just now, Gongsun Ze Tian had quietly slipped in, and with his small stature and elegant movements, he had successfully entered the heavily guarded courtyard of the Surveillance Council.

"I thought you guys were strong, but it turns out you are just average as well! "Where are we going next?" Gongsun Ztian thought disdainfully as he hid in a blind spot.

Gongsun Zaitian was the first to come here. Even with Listening Rain Pavilion's all-pervasive intelligence network, he was still unable to find out about the structure and layout of the various branches of the Surveillance Council. Therefore, everything needed to be explored by Gongsun Zaitian himself.

Gongsun Ztian's goal for coming here was the relieving stroke's sleeping quarters, and what he wanted to do was to leave a note for this relieving stroke.

Gongsun Zaitian walked through the night with his back hunched over. He relied on the fake mountains, grass, wooden stakes, and other objects as well as the shadows of these objects to constantly change the way he moved forward to disguise himself. He was just like a 'naughty child, quickly running'.

He continued to make mischievous jokes as he moved. For example, he would place a bucket full of water on a dark road that only patrols could pass through; he would steal the clothes of a sleeping person and throw them into a well; or he would tear down the roof of the latrine; or he would ?

It was probably because of this' revenge 'from Gongsun Zaitian that the people from the Surveillance Council Branch would be busy for a while in the next few days.

After entering the sixteenth room, Gongsun Zaitian finally found a single room. He did not know if the person in the room right now was the relieving stroke he was looking for. In any case, the position of the people who could stay in the single room should not be bad, and since Gongsun Ze Tian had lost his patience, it could only be considered bad luck for him.

The content of the note was for them to send someone tomorrow to disguise themselves as the victims and watch the drama in decimetine outside the Southern City. Of course, Gongsun Zaitian had left behind the mark that the President of the Council had told him before, as for what this mark meant, the dean had not told him, and Gongsun Zaitian did not know either.

However, if Gongsun Ze knew that this symbol represented the identity of the current director of Surveillance Council, he would definitely not use it carelessly.

After all of this was done, Gongsun Ze Tian suddenly felt that he had come here with great difficulty. If he didn't do something, he would be sorry for the effort he had put in to get here.

"Is it really just a small matter?" Leng Nuohan asked suspiciously.

"It's really a small matter!" Gongsun Zaitian answered honestly.

"What is it?" Leng Nuohan asked.

"I just found all the pants he could wear and opened up a hole in the front and back ?" Gongsun Ze Tian said shyly.

? ?.

Gongsun Ztian followed suit and woke up the other sleeping kitten who had been hiding in his backpack. He then left the Fengyang County branch in the northwest corner of the wall.

Afterwards, Gongsun Ze Tian was bored out of his mind and went to see Qiu Canghai. He forcefully pulled him to drink with him for a while, but this man insisted on sleeping, and firmly refused to acknowledge Gongsun Ze Tian. Furthermore, drinking with him was a very boring task, so Gongsun Ze Tian could only return to the roof of his house to get a good night's sleep.

However, things would always go the other way ?

"The night is so hazy, yet I am so agitated. This is not good, not good at all!" After rolling several times down from the roof, Gongsun Ztian could only helplessly give up on sleeping. He raised his head to look at the moon hanging in the sky in loneliness and sighed emotionally.
