In front of the square gate, several soldiers were chatting.
They are not regular garrison troops, but patrol troops temporarily transferred.
The cultivation level of these people is not high, and most of them are still at the first step of attaining enlightenment. They can only cast some simple spells, and most of the time they need to use their true energy to hurt people.
However, it is enough as a reserve army. Most of the elite soldiers went to the city wall to defend the enemy, and they just served as supplementary patrols.
Yongjiangfang is close to Lingzhou Government Office and far away from the city wall, so it is relatively peaceful here.
Several people were chatting, and suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves on the calm road.
Everyone suddenly became alert.
It's already curfew time. Who will come out suddenly at this time?
"Prepare the magic weapon in advance and protect yourself. If something happens in the future, give a warning immediately." The leading soldier said solemnly.
After all, their cultivation level is not high. If a high-level monk really appears, he will probably kill them instantly.
On the street in the distance, a carriage drove by.
"Stop, there is a curfew in Lingzhou City at night, and no one is allowed to go out. Which house are you from?"
A soldier walked up with the hilt of the knife in his hand.
The coachman who drove the carriage did not speak. Instead, the carriage curtain opened and a man's face was revealed.
"Master Zhou Mu has something urgent to do with me. I have to go see him now and open the door." The man said solemnly.
Upon seeing this man, the surrounding soldiers immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the main square of Yongjiangfang.
"Sir Fangzheng, the order just issued by the government office today does not have an official document with a big seal, so we can't let you go." The soldier was a little confused.
Fangzheng shouted in a deep voice: "Why do you care so much? Do I look like an evil cultivator? Now I just received the news from the government office, asking me to go over to see Mr. Zhou Mu. If the military plane is delayed, can you afford it?
What! Hurry up and get out of the way!"
Several soldiers felt quite embarrassed, but they still did not dare to confront this Fangzheng.
Finally, they opened the door and Fangfang was leaving.
"How come he is so arrogant for a small businessman? Is there anything Mr. Zhou Mu wants to discuss with him?"
"Forget it, this is not something we can know, just keep guarding it."
The few garrison troops didn't realize anything at all and were still guarding the door leisurely.
Suddenly, the leading captain frowned: "No, I'm afraid we shouldn't let him go."
"Why?"
"Master Zhou Mu is extremely strict in his conduct. Even if he wants to see Fang Zheng, he will definitely give him a stamped official document. The order to close the gate was just issued by the Lingzhou government office today. Now Master Zhou Mu has asked Fang Zheng to do so.
Isn’t it contradictory to forcefully break down the door to see him?”
Several soldiers looked at each other, and it was indeed true.
They had no choice but to open the door just now due to Fangzheng's power.
Now that I think about it, Fangzheng does have a lot of weird things about him.
"What should we do? Everyone has been released. If something happens, we may not be able to escape." Some soldiers suddenly panicked.
Although they are a reserve army, they are still enforcing the military law of Dayu. If nothing happens, it is easy to say, but once something happens, they will be punished by military law as soon as possible.
The captain thought for a moment and said: "I will take two people out to catch up and have a look. You continue to guard here. Remember, no one is allowed to open the door!"
