Chapter 741 Infiltration

Tatsumi changed back into his original attire. He thought he would sneak into the imperial capital with Xiao Zhen.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, people arrived at a quiet alley.

Xiao Zhen clapped his hands to bring the young man back to his senses, and by the way, he did not forget to touch the white kitten on his shoulder.

"Meow!"

With a cute cry, the little kitten seemed to have no intention of running away. Xiao Zhen had strong strength to support him, so he was not afraid that she would do anything secretly.

"Mr. Xiao Zhen, where is this place?"

It was the first time that Tatsumi saw such a big city, and he felt like a country bumpkin... To be more precise, he was indeed a country bumpkin, the kind who had just left the village.

Xiao Zhen looked at the boy, kicked him on the butt, and said seriously: "Be careful, it's almost dark now. If you don't find a place to stay, you'll be sleeping on the street."

Tatsumi scratched his head in embarrassment and explained, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now. This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful big city. Compared to this, our place is really poor."

Xiao Zhen said with a deep gaze: "I have found your two companions, and their situation is not very good. If it were not for this, I would at least wait until tomorrow to enter the imperial capital."

"Really? Thank you so much."

Tatsumi did not doubt Xiao Zhen's words, because in his opinion, this guest who was favored by General Esdeath must be very powerful.

Xiao Zhen led Tatsumi in front and saw a few pedestrians on the road. Most of them just passed by quickly with undisguised panic on their faces.

Tatsumi asked in confusion: "Mr. Xiao Zhen, are those civilians afraid of the army outside the city?"

Xiao Zhen said calmly, "Perhaps this is one of the reasons, but it's not entirely the case. Walk forward for more than 300 meters and then turn left and you will know."

Tatsumi immediately did as he was told. When he arrived at the location, he saw several guys in uniform beating an old man and a bag of dry bread made of mixed grains on the ground.

The leader who attacked the most fiercely shouted, "You old man, we just asked you for some protection money, but you dared to call us robbers? Believe it or not, we brothers will beat you to death today."

Tatsumi clenched his fists, and with a sense of justice overflowing, he shouted angrily: "Stop it right there. How can you bully an innocent old man? If you have the guts, come and fight me."

Several people looked at each other. They didn't expect that someone would dare to interfere in their personnel affairs.

"Boy, look at your clothes, are you from the country?" one of them said with disdain.

Tatsumi didn't have any extra thoughts and answered calmly: "Yes, I did come from a small village, and I can't stand you bastards who bully the weak."

The leader spat on the ground and said in a very arrogant tone: "Boy, do you know who we are? We are from the Imperial Capital Guard. If you don't want to die, get out of here right away. Otherwise, believe it or not, I will charge you with colluding with the rebels outside the city."

Tatsumi also felt a panic in his heart, but he quickly regained his composure. He had just joined General Esdeath's troops at noon. People in the imperial capital wouldn't know about this, right?

"Since you are officials of the empire, wouldn't you feel ashamed to see civilians being bullied?"

Tatsumi's words were convincing. In his inherent concept, although there were many bad officials in the empire, such as the tax collectors in his hometown, there must be some people with conscience among so many people.

Tatsumi's master taught him swordsmanship, but did not tell him that the empire was now corrupt, not to mention that there was a treacherous minister like Minister Ernest, who was rare in a thousand years.

Several members of the Imperial Capital Guard burst into laughter, mocking the stupidity of this country boy.

What era is this? The skills of bullying civilians are all learned from the elders. They often extort more than their monthly salary, otherwise they would not be able to spend that little money.

Many people around stayed in the distance to watch the fun, but no one actually went up to help.

Some people even talked about with glee, wondering where Tatsumi's mutilated body would be found after he was captured by these guards.

At this time, the old man who was knocked to the ground raised his eyelids with difficulty. He was very grateful to the kind-hearted young man. He moved his mouth and said tremblingly:

"Hurry... hurry up, kid, this is not... none of your business."

Tatsumi looked at the injuries on the old man's body. If he wasn't treated in time, he would most likely die.

In a hurry, Tatsumi decided to knock down these guys first, and then send the old man to a nearby clinic for treatment.

"Hand them over, this is a critical period, and curfew is about to begin. Anyone who is not there should return home immediately."

A heroic woman with short white hair walked over from the other end of the street. However, the only flaw was that her right eye was covered with an eyepatch and her right arm was replaced with a robotic arm.

When several members of the security team saw the newcomer, although they looked a little disdainful, the leader still said respectfully: "So you are General Najeshitan of the Revolutionary Army. Since you asked, we brothers will give you a favor."

After seeing these scums leave, Najeshitan personally took the old man to a nearby clinic and kindly helped pay for the medicine.

Xiao Zhen was next to Tatsumi at this time and whispered, "Let's go, your companions are in a worse condition. If we don't hurry up, I can't guarantee whether we will see a living person or a dead person."

After hearing this, Tatsumi no longer cared about anything else. Anyway, the old man was already being taken care of, and he believed that he would be well tomorrow.

Najeshitan turned her head and looked at the two people walking away, feeling that something was wrong.

A smell of alcohol wafted through the air, and a blonde lady with big breasts jumped down from the roof.

"Sorry, boss, I just drank too much in the pub."

Najeshitan looked at her unkempt subordinate without any intention of blaming him.

Leone was born in the slums of the imperial capital. She had seen the nobles oppressing the poor civilians since she was a child. She wanted to overthrow the dark rule of the empire more than anyone else in the night raid.

However, the opposite happened. The revolutionary army, which was originally against the empire, has now become an ally of the empire.

These must have been a huge blow to Leone, causing him to not pay much attention to his work and go get drunk whenever he has some money.

Xiao Zhen took Tatsumi over a wall and the two were now in a luxurious manor with all kinds of facilities, all of which demonstrated the owner's generosity.

Tatsumi asked quietly, "Mr. Xiao Zhen, isn't it inappropriate for us to sneak into someone else's house like this?"

Xiao Zhen said in a neutral tone: "We came here with bad intentions, so what's there to be embarrassed about?"

Just when Tatsumi didn't understand what it meant, two guards from a wealthy family ran over from a distance.

"Who are you? How dare you break into a private residence? Are you tired of living?"

Seeing the other party coming towards him aggressively, Tatsumi felt inexplicably guilty. After all, they were still uninvited intruders.

Xiao Zhen waved his fingers lightly, and the condensed fighting spirit turned into silk threads, which passed through the bodies of the two guards at the fastest speed.

Under Tatsumi's shocked gaze, the two people who were still alive were instantly dismembered.
