Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: The boy

This person gave her a feeling of déjà vu.

  Gu Yundong frowned slightly, then understood immediately. Yes, this person was very much like her past self who lived in the last days. She did not care about anything, her eyes were indifferent, as if there was no one and nothing in the world that could make her heart beats, each day meaningless.

  But that's because the apocalypse made her lose hope. So what could have happened to the man in front of her ?

   She couldn't ponder more about it as the Yamen that was kicked down had already got up end pulled out his sword from the sheath on his waist whit a 'schwing', and was about to cut down that man.

  The sword was emiting a cold light, and the little girl in Gu Yundong's arms hurriedly hugged her neck and buried her head in her arms.

Seeing this, Nie Cong, who was beside them, thought that she was frightened, so he stopped the Yamen immediately, "Stop."

  The Yamen stopped, turned his head to look at him, hurriedly stepped forward with a flattering smile, "Young Master Nie, it's you."

   "What are you guys doing? Your are killing people at the entrance of the Yamen?"

  The officer immediately explained with righteous indignation, "Young Master Nie, it was never my intention to do that. It's this guy who committed a heinous crime and resisted arrest. Just now, you was that he actually dared to kick me."

   "What did he do?"

   "Someone came to report the case, saying that this person was the leader of the troubles caued by the refugees in Qingan City. We brought him back for questioning."

  Nie Cong was stunned. There was a riot in Qingan City. Commander Zhao led the troops to support Qingan City's soldiers. It was said that there was a leader who broke into the local yamen office and killed the magistrate, he was not caught at the time, and he had probably fled to a nearby city.

Recently, their Xuanhe City was heavily guarded, with patrols day and night, fearing that this personn would come here to cause trouble.

  But as far as knew, the leader was a middle-aged man in his thirthies or forties, while the person in front of him seemed to be a boy in his twenties.

   Sure enough, the teenager denied it vehemently, "I'm not!"

  The officer said "Hey" and said "Aren't you? Look at the portrait on the wanted warrant, this is you."

   He held a piece of paper with a portrait of a person on it, and il almost hit the boy's face.

  Nie Cong took it, looked at it, and couldn't help but sighing internaly.

  Gu Yundong glanced at it, and the corner of her mouth twitched violently twice.

   The portraits of this era were just too abstract, okay? Sadly, only with this kind of arrest warrant could criminals be caught.

   However, even if this portrait was rather 'realistic', it was still a thousand miles away from the boy in front of her.

   These two officers were obviously talking nonsense with their eyes open, and they were trying to make things difficult for the boy.

  Gu Yundong knew that many of the current officers relied on extortion to get by, but it was chilling to see them doing it so blatantly..

Nie Cong's frowned, he glanced at the young man, and threw the arrest warrant on the face of the officer, "How is it similar? Let him go quickly! If you arrest people randomly like that, wouldn't you let go the real murderer if he walked right in front of you ?"

  The officer was a little unhappy, "But we received a report..."

   "So you believe whoever reports on the case? The most important thing right now is to arrest the person who reported the case. He dared to lie with his eyes wide open and talk nonsense about the wanted warrant. He wasted the time of the Yamen but reporting on the case randomly. Let him go quickly.

  Nie Cong's identity obviously made the two officers fearful. After they looked at each other, they finally untied the rope on the boy's body unwillingly, "You can leave now, hurry up."

The boy pursed his lips, glanced at Nie Cong, then turned his head and left.

   From the beginning to the end, he didn't say much, and in the end he didn't even say thank you.
