040: Assisting Deputy Commander

After Cui Lan took control of her body, she invited Chen An into Zhaodong City. His stomach was already feeling very hungry.

The atmosphere in the city looks quiet. The streets look dirty by ash due to the burning of the Blue Lotus Entertainment House building that occurred last night.

Former battles, seen along the main street of the city. The two realized that dozens of pairs of eyes were watching them.

“It looks like all stores and shops are closing, what exactly is going on in this city?” Cui Lan who was looking for a tavern, looked annoyed at not getting a single tavern open.

After one kilometer entering the city, the two arrived in front of a magnificent building, Chen An accidentally read the inscription “No” above the gate of the building fence.

“Maybe we can get information if enter into Hao's noble house.” Cui Lan nodded and followed Chen An's footsteps.

However Chen An stopped his steps, he could feel if dozens of people approached them from the roof of the building.

“Comeout! I already know where you are!” Chen An said so, as he did not feel the killing aura of the dozens of people.

A moment later, fifteen people appeared wearing the exact same robes. Chen An finally found out if they were from the Zhaodong City Guard Bureau.

Both sides stared at each other.

“Ah Brother Chen Cen .. Thankfully it turns out that the one who came was you.”

Hao Jie who recognized Chen An's voice as he shouted earlier, had a peek before finally coming out after being sure his conjecture was correct.

“Young Master recognizes them?” Asked one of the fifteen warriors who seemed to be the Chiefs of the Zhaodong City Supervisory Bureau.

Hao Jie nodded and invited Chen An into his Father's residence. Upon arriving in the large room, there was a man who was moody.

The man was named Hao Yan, Hao Jie's father was also one of the great influential nobles in Zhaodong City. Near Hao Yan, sat a man wearing a warrior uniform with a bandage cloth on his left shoulder.

“Dad ... This is Chen An, my friend who helped me last night when ..” Hao Jie was stunned as she looked at Cui Lan's face and the dress the girl was wearing.

Chen An only chuckled, while Hao Yan was seen nodding and looking at the young man for a brief glance, then telling him to sit down.

It was this attitude of a noble that made Chen An reluctant to befriend them. However, wanting to find out what was happening in this City, Chen An held back his frustration.

“Brother Jie what happened to Zhaodong City?” Hao Jie who already knew Chen An's prowess, expectantly told him about the incident earlier this morning.

“Hundreds of warriors came into this city and killed all the soldiers as well as the commanders and governors of Zhaidong City. The city is now in their power.”

Hao Jie also explained that currently only the Vice Commander Warrior of the city guards were still alive. Hundreds of warriors, now control the city hall building.

What they did not expect was the group managing the Purple Lotus Entertainment House, it turned out to be the warriors who were one group with them who attacked Zhaodong City.

“So apparently. It was only fitting that all the gate guard soldiers were at the level of Swordsman King and Swordsman Earth. Apparently they are from the group of warriors.” The face of the Deputy Commander of the Army, looked surprised at Chen An's words.

“Young man, how did you get into this city?” Chen An smiled thinly.”I have killed all of them Uncle, as well as three Sky Swordsman who seemed to be their leader.”

“What!” The Deputy Commander looked shocked to the point of standing up from his seat. “Is what you're saying really young?” It was hard for him to believe what Chen An said.

“All owners of this building Exit!”

Just as Chen An was about to reply, there was a loud crack in front of the building.

Chen An and Cui Lan immediately shot out. The Deputy Commander gasped at the speed of motion of the two youngsters.

”They two are not ordinary warriors, there is hope we can survive here.” He immediately whipped out the sword at his waist, and stepped out warily.

“What!?”

Upon arriving at the door, he peered out and found Chen An and Chui Lan, slaughtering dozens of people who had come to the residence of Nobles Hao.

He rushed out a moment later, when he saw that everyone who had come had been lying covered in blood. “Vice Commander! Don't leave us!”

“Call Mr. Hao, all the attackers have been destroyed by the two youngsters.”

After saying so, the Deputy Commander came out leaving Hao Yan stunned to hear it. He looked at Hao Jie and asked for an explanation from his son.

The Deputy Commander immediately approached Chen An. The young man was cleaning the Blue Cloak he was wearing from the splash of blood of his assailants.

“Young Swordsman .. Can I ask you for help?” Chen An nodded his head. “What help Uncle?”

The Deputy Commander then explained that he had to return to the town hall to inform the Imperial capital, using the Merpati Pos which was in that place. A message that will contain about what is happening in Zhaodong City at the moment.

“Alright Uncle .. We will take uncle there.” Chen An replied as he glanced towards Cui Lan, who scowled as she held back her hunger.

“We solve the problem in this city first, then we look for food.” Chen An realized, if Cui Lan had not filled her stomach for two nights. It was definitely unusual for a Sect Chief's Princess to do.

Cui Lan could only nod slowly, enduring her frustration.

Just as he was about to step away from the place, Hao Yan and Hao Jie came out in a hurry. “Young Swordsman .. Wait a minute! “

The Noble's attitude changed drastically after he learned of Chen An's martial ability. He asked the young man to stop by and stay at his house.

“Mr Hao .. There are important things we must do first. We are going to Balaikota to send information to the Imperial Capital.”

The Deputy Commander who responded to Hao Yan's words. Finally Hao Yan called his wife and two daughters who were both Hao Jie's younger siblings. They're going to the town hall.

What Hao Yan did was a natural thing, considering that if they remained at home, they would be returned to the city by the warriors who controlled the City.

Chen An, Cui Lan and the Deputy Commander along with Hao Yan and his family and dozens of bodyguards, immediately set off towards the City Hall.

BUOUM!

When another hundred meters from the city hall, there was a loud explosion that made the group suddenly stop with a face that showed fear.

The explosion came from the East gate of Zhaodong City. A moment Chen An fell silent, then decided to head towards the City Hall.

That made the Deputy Commander astonished, as Chen An did not want to know what was going on at the east gate that was five hundred meters away from where they were.

“No need to see who attacked them. Let's take care of those in City Hall.” Chen An replied casually.
