Chapter 693
Ge Shuli had underestimated Cheng Dalei. The city lord's mansion's defenses were indeed inadequate, but Cheng Dalei himself is a peerless expert after all. If a stupid thief barged in, bad luck would be their lot. Even Fan Lihua, a top-level fighter, wouldn't fear a second-rate wanderer.
Hence, the City Lord's Mansion didn't have guards, simply because they were not necessary.
But, just because the city lord's mansion didn't have adequate defenses didn't mean that Liangzhou's city did too. Cheng Dalei, surrounded by three enemies, Qian Tongyu included, dared not let his guard down. The soldiers chosen were the elites of the military.
Therefore, feeling urgently about making his move, Ge Shuli didn't wait for dawn to sneak out of the city. He attempted to leave at night and as a result, was caught by the guards, leading to his current predicament.
