Chapter 1277: Thousand Paper Cranes

Meanwhile.

At the city gate.

The city gate was wide open, with ghost officers standing on both sides. In reality, their presence here symbolized more than practicality, as they were all within the southern city limits and there was no need for a thorough inspection like entering the City of the Underworld.

The reason I'm standing here is because there is still a "class" distinction between the people living in "Wubiancheng" and those living in Neicheng. This division prevents people from Wubiancheng from entering Neicheng to cause trouble, and it also prevents anyone from causing trouble within Neicheng and escaping.

Of course, this sort of thing hardly ever happens.

At this moment.

It's not just ghosts, there are also three guards.

One of them was the leader of the guards who had just appeared in Changsheng Town.

"Captain, could it be that they weren't telling the truth"

One of the guards walked up to the head guard and whispered.

And the direction he was looking in, was precisely at the doorkeeper.

The ghosts in charge are responsible for the affairs within the city, while the guards are responsible for defending the city. Moreover, the guards are directly under the command of the Yin Marshal, so psychologically, the guards mostly look down on the ghosts.

The Grain Captain did not ride a steed, mainly out of concern for causing panic among the city residents.

He shook his head and said coldly, "Give them ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to deceive me. They should be telling the truth, that person hasn't come yet."

Actually, Ye Fusheng's guess wasn't wrong. Under the circumstances of having a confirmed location, letting the person escape would be too embarrassing for them. They didn't notify anyone and just chased after him all the way.

But more than Ye Fu Sheng had imagined, they guessed that with Ye Fu Sheng's cunning, he was most likely worried about being intercepted by someone inside the city, so he hid halfway.

They took advantage of this and rushed back into the city to set an ambush.

The guard said again, "Could it be that because so many people go in and out of the inner city, they didn't notice"

I've been here for an hour, with not the slightest ripple.

The captain pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "It's impossible not to notice. Although many people enter and exit the city, even if that fellow is fast, he can't be faster than us by a single moment. You look at the flow of people, within a minute it won't exceed twenty people, it's impossible to mistake, that fellow must still be outside the city!"

Upon discovering he had been tricked, he rushed over as fast as possible. The time difference wasn't much; it was already the fastest speed Ye Fusheng could manage. He even thought he would reach the city gate before Ye Fusheng.

In this case, he couldn't get in.

The guards looked troubled. They had already been off duty and were now called back for overtime. It seemed like finding the person was going to be a long shot.

"Probingly, he asked, “Captain Gu, who is that fellow Why did you personally come out to deal with him Could it be… could the thunder just now have been related to him”

"Shut up!"

The captain's face turned pale, and his heart pounded with fear. He didn't actually know who Ye Fusheng was; he only heard his subordinates report that an exceptionally powerful soul had entered the South City from the East City. Instinctively, he felt something was wrong.

Therefore, sealing off messages and sending people to apprehend them, attempting to cover up the mistake.

If the thunder just now was indeed related to that being, don't even mention the two threatened guards, even himself and even Yin Shuai would have to take responsibility. After all, it was a major event that shook the entire Fengdu and caused all five Ghost Emperors to rise and investigate simultaneously.

"Shut your mouth!" the Captain roared, his face dark. "If you speak another word out of line, beware your tongue! Now go and order everyone guarding the moat to keep their eyes peeled wide open. That scoundrel will be desperate and might try anything. If he manages to get into the inner city from their sector, immediately strip him of his status and make him a commoner… No, forget it. I'll go myself!"

After finishing his words, he went to the moat with a heavy heart.

It is plainly visible that the guards who had just been stationed at Changsheng Town have dispersed, each standing thirty paces apart, meticulously watching for any movement on the city walls. This has caused passersby to avert their gazes in fear.

……

Ye Fu Sheng swiftly moved forward, not letting out any breath. With the height of this wall, all he needed to do was lightly climb over it.

About to reach the wall.

"Big brother."

The little girl suddenly spoke.

Ye Fusheng couldn't help but stop in his tracks and turn around. He saw the little girl running towards him quickly.

"This is for you. My mom said a thousand paper cranes bring good luck," she said, holding up a thousand paper crane.

Ye Fu Sheng felt a surge of emotion in his heart. Thousand paper cranes were her livelihood, and she had just given them all to him for free.

He took it, then touched himself. At the time of his body's explosion, only personal belongings remained: a marriage certificate, the Jiuxuan Method, and a sword... none of these were suitable gifts.

"...It's awkward to say, but Big Brother doesn't have anything to give you. How about this... how about I owe you a gift When I finish my own business, you can ask for anything and I'll give it to you."

The little girl beamed a pure smile: “Mommy said that giving gifts is not about expecting anything in return. I don’t expect anything in return either, I don’t need anything.”

The teaching is really good.

It's a pity, though.

Ye Fusheng pondered for a moment, his eyes suddenly lighting up. "You like fish, don't you Believe me or not, I can make all the fish in the river swim towards you"

"Really" Her eyes widened noticeably.

Children just love to play.

It's a pity she likes fish. If she liked fishing, I would definitely make her a fishing rod before leaving.

"Of course it's true, I'll carry you up there."

He said, picking up the little girl and sending her over the wall.

Then, he also sat down on the wall.

Almost at the same time.

"Huh... How come there are so many guards here They shouldn't be at the city walls, why are they here" The little girl looked across the river at the guards in surprise.

Whoosh!

Ye Fu Sheng instantly froze in place. These guards had been here all along, waiting for an opportunity. Glancing at the little girl, he realized she had indeed brought him good luck.

A slight breath escaped, injected into the thousand paper cranes, then the thousand paper cranes were thrown over the wall.

The next second.

This moat, about two zhang long and stretching as far as the eye could see, churned violently. Countless fish leaped from the water's surface, rushing towards the thousand paper cranes. Meanwhile, other fish circled the cranes, constantly spinning and jumping, some even leaping half a zhang high, just like carp leaping over the Dragon Gate.

"Wow..."

The little girl covered her mouth with both hands in astonishment.

The guards on the shore also widened their eyes, completely dumbfounded as to why. They even stared in astonishment at the little girl, wondering why, upon her arrival, the fish had transformed like this

The passersby also stopped in their tracks, each thinking to themselves, "Today really is a strange day."

Just as everyone was watching the surface of the water.

Tap tap tap.

A person hurried over, it was none other than Captain Gu.

Taking a single step across the river, he arrived at the wall and peered over its back. He couldn't help but frown.

"Did you swim over here with these fish" he asked the little girl.

“Of course not!”

The little girl, like she was showing off candy, looked back and said, "This is all because... um"

She wanted to say it was because of Ye Fusheng, but when she turned around, she found that the figure of the older brother was gone.

"Why!"

The head of the grain team, sternly asked.

The expression startled the little girl. After a few seconds of hesitation, she said: "This is all because of the thousand paper cranes, they bring good luck."

She took another one out of her pocket.

"Thousand paper cranes" Captain Gu instinctively reached out to take it.

The little girl was quick-witted. She quickly took back the paper crane, “A thousand paper cranes represent good luck, and can't be given away. I have to go home!”

Climb down the wall.

The captain's face flushed red and then white.ir minds buzzed with disbelief simultaneously."Ye Wuji!""Fairy of Profound Sound!"They blurted it out!When these two names were uttered, they were struck dumb with shock. Their hearts pounded wildly b...
