Chapter 36.
Sheriff Xie was standing in the middle of the courtyard with a long sword in his hand.
After the constables had all gathered, he counted the number of people.
Determining that there were no abnormalities in the numbers, Sheriff Xie took out a map from his pocket.
“Go find a table for me.”
He called a constable at random.
The constable also had an eye for detail and darted to a room, carrying out a table and placing it on the floor.
Sheriff Xie spread the map flat on the table, pointed to one of the places, and said, “This is Cloud Mountain, and a small temple above Cloud Mountain is the Beast Cult’s lair.”
“During this recent period, the people from the Zhen Gui Si and the Blood Shadow Sect have joined forces and found the Beast Sect’s lair through the Blood Shadow Sect’s lost treasures, and now is the time to launch a general attack.”
After Sheriff Xie finished this sentence, he drew a circle with his hand on a circle of the small temple again.
“The people of the Beast Sect are left to the Town Guile Division, we are just cooperating with them, surround the perimeter, and if any stray fish slip through the net, eliminate the stray fish, is that clear?”
The general matter was also made clear.
The constables looked at each other in dismay and expressed their understanding.
It was clearly spoken and they understood it.
The general idea was that the Zhen Gui Si was the main force, and they were only responsible for guarding the surrounding area.
If there were any fish that escaped the net, then they would make a move to stop them or kill them directly.
There was a constable who was quite smart, squeezing his eyebrows and saying, “Boss, do you want to be more serious?”
Unusually, this constable is also the master of sneakiness, and is very good at flattering people.
On weekdays, it is lazy when it can be lazy.
This time and played a little smart, wanting to entertain the atmosphere.
But I didn’t expect that after this was said, Sheriff Xie’s tone became harsh.
“If you still want the head above you, give me the seriousness to do the job, this is not a small matter.”
Sheriff Xie snapped, “First decapitation, imperial license, anyone who obstructs the Zhen Gui Si’s case and refuses to cooperate with the Zhen Gui Si, do you still want the head on your head?”
A cold aura flowed through Sheriff Xie’s body.
The constable who had played smart just now shivered.
Only then did he remember that the plain-looking constable standing in front of him had once fought against water bandits on a large ship when he was young, and had come back in one piece.
“Don’t dare, don’t dare, I’ll definitely fulfill my mission!” The constable hurriedly lowered his head and apologized.
Sheriff Xie snorted coldly, his gaze turning to the others, “Anyone else who has other opinions can raise them.”
The words had been said, and no one had an opinion.
Zhou An pondered on Sheriff Xie’s words, this time he really had to go.
Not to mention the fact that everyone was taking action, it would not do for you to be alone and not take action.
Moreover, it was still related to the Beast Cult.
If you go to see for yourself, you can always feel more at ease.
If the Zhen Gui Si wiped out the Beast Cult, it would also be removing a major problem for himself, and he would be able to feel more at ease with his liver proficiency.
Seeing that no one replied, Sheriff Xie waved his hand, “Dress up, set off piecemeal, and then rendezvous at the bottom of Cloud Mountain!”
This time, the operation needed to be kept secret.
So they all had to change into their unusual attire, go out piecemeal, and finally gather at the foot of Cloud Mountain.
This was the only way to minimize the exposure of the target, so that the Beast Cult’s people would not be able to discover it.
Zhou An and Yu Hang changed into their regular attire.
The two did not go out immediately, but waited for everyone else to go out before the two of them slowly made their way out the door.
According to what Sheriff Xie said, don’t be in a hurry, just act realistically like normal people hurrying.
From Anding County to Yunshan, at their speed, it was a full hour’s walk.
Fortunately, they started early, and when they arrived at the foot of Cloud Mountain, the sun had not yet set.
Cloud Mountain was just like its name.
Although it wasn’t high, the top of the mountain was covered in clouds due to the dense clouds here.
It looked ethereal like an immortal, like an immortal with his middle finger up.
This was also how Zhou An felt.
He knew his analogy was a bit strange, but it was very graphic.
Yu Hang poked Zhou An and said, “Old Zhou, does it look like the state you get up in the morning?”
Zhou An was slightly stunned and quickly understood in seconds.
He pretended to look regretful, “Like is like, but this mountain is too short, and it’s not very similar.”
Yu Hang looked at Zhou An with contempt, feeling that Zhou An had installed an invisible pussy.
The constables had all arrived, but were separated in twos and threes.
Sheriff Xie was among them.
Zhou An looked left and right, but did not find the figure of the Zhen Gui Si.
He guessed that he should have arrived long ago, or had already gone up the mountain.
Sheriff Xie only rested his feet a little before waving his hand and sending the constables towards the mountain.
These days, except for some readers who liked to recite poetry, others simply didn’t have the hobby of traveling to the mountains and playing in the water.
The people were all tired of making a living, and even if Cloud Mountain’s scenery was beautiful and had a great view, not many people were willing to come.
The mountain path became very steep.
Luckily, these constables also had rough kung fu in their bodies, and during this period of time, every time at noon, Sheriff Xie was also teaching martial arts.
There was no major obstacle to walking.
Zhou An also found traces of people passing by on the way there.
This further confirmed his suspicion that the Zhen Gui Si’s should have gone long ago.
All the way up the mountain, no one bothered to enjoy the so-called beautiful scenery.
When they arrived at the top of the mountain, the clouds were so thick that it was like a layer of white frost.
There wasn’t much visibility around them, but they were able to vaguely see that there was the shadow of a building in front of them.
Other than that, Zhou An saw Zhang Si County.
It was right as he thought, Zhang Si Xian and the others had already brought people to ambush the neighborhood.
Dozens of people from the Zhen Gui Si had already hidden themselves.
Sheriff Xie didn’t say anything and stood silently on the side.
Those who were able to get into this position were not small people.
When Sheriff Xie was able to kill his way out of the jungle, it wasn’t just a simple matter of being strong in martial arts.
His mind was not weak at all.
At this time, not asking anything was the best.
They were just responsible for cooperating.
Asking too many questions could easily lead to trouble, and it was easy to dump the pot on themselves.
He only needed to do his part.
Zhang Si Xian waved a gesture, “Later on, we’ll rush in and directly beat them to death, Sheriff Xie, you must guard it well, and remember not to let any of them slip through the net.”
Already knowing the other party’s lair and having evidence, the people from the Zhen Gui Si would not be so euphemistic.
First decapitate, imperial authority licensed.
These words weren’t as simple as words, representing the rights granted to the Zhen Gui Division by the Great Chu Kingdom.
Sheriff Xie nodded and agreed, stating that he would do his best to block it.
“Charge!”
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Si Xian waved his hand and drank low.
In the next moment, all the members of the Zhen Gui Si were like arrows off the string, rushing towards the small temple.
It was Zhou An’s first time seeing the Zhen Gui Si in action, and when he saw this scene, he could not help but raise an eyebrow.
Soon, shouting and killing came out from the small temple.
In just a moment, the two sides had already exchanged fire.
In the mountains and forests, clouds collapsed and birds flew in fright.
