325: Avoid interrogation
“Thankfully, I reacted fast enough, otherwise, I really would have been discovered. Moreover, this barrier likely has anti-air capabilities or an alarm system, so I can't force my way out now!”
“It's also a good thing I didn't directly use a Small Teleportation Talisman to run earlier.”
“Everything is the best choice!”
Guo Feng felt a surge of relief as he watched the crew checking and questioning.
Before he came to Guo Wang City, he hadn't expected Guo Wang City to be so powerful.
However, he had to come.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to find out which direction Yanshan City was in.
After arriving, he also obtained a map of the empire.
All in all, this trip wasn't a loss.
As long as he escaped Guo Wang City, the sky would be wide open for him, and no matter how formidable Duke Guo was, he wouldn't be able to find him.
But, at this moment, he had one concern.
These officers seemed extremely diligent.
Not only did they compare faces one by one, but they also inquired about names, addresses, occupations, and other information.
This made him a little worried.
And just then, he heard someone in front say, “Officer, I'm from the countryside, from Tie Family Village in Tieshan Territory, Tie Long City, a jurisdiction of Guo Wang City. My name is Tie Feilong.”
“Tie Family Village?”
“Is there such a village?”
The officer raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled.
Guo Wang City managed fifteen main cities, and each main city managed twenty to thirty other cities. The villages and strongholds near each city were too numerous to count.
He then frowned, “What is this place? Central District. Can a country bumpkin like you come here? Arrest him!”
Immediately, several soldiers surrounded him.
Guo Feng quickly said, “Officer, wait! This is my clansman, Tie Feilong. I am the young master of Tie Family Village, Tie Yunlong.”
As he spoke, a flash appeared in his hand, and a token appeared.
It had ‘Lord Changsheng’ written on it.
He smiled, “crew are here on the orders of an adult from Lord Changsheng's manor to deliver our Tie Family Village's special product, stone flowers.”
“Oh?!”
The officer picked up the token from Guo Feng's hand, looked at it for a moment, then looked Guo Feng up and down.
He frowned, “Tie Family Village, stone flower specialty? What kind of stone flower?”
Guo Feng immediately took out a large sea stone flower, bought from a supermarket, from his space and handed it over, “Officer, please take a look. This is an ingredient that, after special processing, becomes incredibly delicious. It's a unique secret of our Tie Family Village.”
“Huh, I've never seen this before.”
The officer was skeptical, picked it up to smell it, and then put the sea stone flower away with a flick of his wrist.
He waved his hand, “Alright, step back!”
Guo Feng also breathed a sigh of relief; he had passed the inspection.
And Tie Feilong also looked at him in surprise.
Guo Feng chuckled softly, made a gesture, and didn't speak.
The reason he stepped forward was because he noticed that Tie Feilong's words were a bit evasive.
His mental fluctuations were very strong.
Most likely, he was lying.
Moreover, Tie Feilong would first state an address, and then he would come to verify the identity.
It would easily solidify their identities together.
Coupled with the sea stone flower, a specialty only found on Earth, the probability of bluffing their way through was very high.
As expected.
Not only did the other party not press for more information, but they directly accepted the binding of Guo Feng and Tie Feilong's identities.
After a round of questioning.
Everyone was still under the control of these officers.
They waited for about another hour.
The officer said, “Alright, you are free to move around, but as long as those three suspects are not found, no one is allowed to leave the city without permission from above.”
After he finished speaking, he let everyone disperse.
“Tie Feilong, let's go.”
After the crowd dispersed, Guo Feng waved to Tie Feilong.
“Yes, Young Master!”
Tie Feilong, looking respectful, quickly followed Guo Feng, walking out of the central area.
He didn't speak the whole way.
They walked at a steady pace.
After walking for over an hour, they finally exited the central area.
“Let's go back to the inn. You lead the way.”
Guo Feng turned to Tie Feilong and said.
“Yes, Young Master.”
Tie Feilong looked at Guo Feng in surprise, then led Guo Feng forward.
He hailed a carriage.
With a burst of speed, they arrived at an ordinary inn in the eastern district of Guo Wang City, which was quite unremarkable in quality.
However, though it was called ordinary, it covered an area of more than ten mu.
It was a five-story building.
Tie Feilong led Guo Feng to a room.
It was then that Tie Feilong asked, “Who exactly are you?”
“And you?”
Guo Feng chuckled, “You are not from Tie Family Village.”
“There is no Tie Family Village in Tie Long City, and you aren't either,” Tie Feilong said.
“But there is now.”
Guo Feng shrugged, and a qi sword carrying Fire Emperor Qi suddenly floated in front of him.
A faint killing intent enveloped Tie Feilong.
He looked at the other party and smiled, “From now on, you cannot leave my sight, and you must tell me your origin. If you dare to lie, you will lose your life immediately.”
He couldn't leave Guo Wang City right now.
Moreover, the inspections in Guo Wang City would become increasingly strict in the later stages.
Therefore, he had to control Tie Feilong and understand everything about him.
“You are an Eighth-Grade master?!”
Tie Feilong's heart jolted, and a look of realization appeared on his face, “I understand, you are that…”
As he said this, he realized something and quickly stopped.
Then, he said again, “That's really great… Hmm, I'll still call you Young Master.”
He paused, “Young Master, I have a friend who has a token to open the barrier passage, but I need you to do me a favor.”
“Speak.”
Guo Feng raised an eyebrow. Did Tie Feilong actually have such connections?
Tie Feilong quickly said, “I want to ask you to help me rescue my younger sister. Afterwards, you, I, my younger sister, and my friend will leave Guo Wang City together.”
Then, he explained their situation.
It turned out that this Tie Feilong was a bandit from Longshan Fort.
That's right, on Chaos Continent, there was also a profession called brigands.
These people were extremely fierce, living by robbery and murder.
Longshan Fort was just a medium-sized bandit group, with the strongest being a Fifth-Grade expert like Tie Feilong.
He led over a thousand people and ruled as a mountain king.
Not long ago, their Longshan Fort provoked the grandson of Lord Changsheng.
They were almost wiped out.
He fortunately escaped, but his younger sister, Tie Zhu, was captured and taken back to the Earl's manor because she was beautiful.
Therefore, his purpose in coming this time was to rescue Tie Zhu and then escape Guo Wang City.
Guo Feng listened to the general idea and twitched the corner of his mouth: “How beautiful is your younger sister? To be given such a nice name?”
Tie Feilong quickly cupped his hands: “Thank you for the compliment, Young Master. This name was given by my father, but my father was later killed by the Earl's manor's enshriners.”
As he spoke, he looked at Guo Feng again, “Young Master, with your strength, it will definitely not be a problem for crew to rescue Tie Zhu amidst the chaos.”
“I can try, but if you lie to me, all of you will die.”
Guo Feng said with a faint killing intent.
“Don't worry, Young Master. As long as you rescue Tie Zhu, my brother and I will truly acknowledge you as Young Master and follow you wherever you go!”
Tie Feilong looked earnest.
“Those are matters for later. Tell me about your younger sister's characteristics and her current situation. I'll go explore after dark.”
Guo Feng waved his hand.
Tie Feilong quickly relayed the information he had obtained.
By the time it was completely dark.
There were no longer any pedestrians on the streets.
But the constant movement of troops gave off an unsettling feeling.
Guo Feng, however, remained calm, walked out of his room, and continuously teleported, avoiding the patrolling soldiers.
Before long, he once again arrived inside Lord Changsheng's manor.
As soon as he entered, he heard a voice from beside him: “You really did come!”
His heart tightened, and he abruptly looked in the direction of the voice.
