Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

Chapter 181: Blocking the City Gate
In the early hours of the morning, there were few pedestrians on the streets of the holy city, with only a few lights flickering in the night.

Although the Holy City is more prosperous than the local cities in the Holy Dragon Kingdom, most of the shops on the streets are closed during this period of time, and most of the residents are immersed in sweet dreams.

On this quiet night, a huge change is quietly brewing.

In the darkness of night, hundreds of royal spies set out from the palace silently. Holding warrants signed by the emperor himself, they headed to the four gates of the holy city in an orderly manner.

"In compliance with the Emperor's decree, the city gates must be closed immediately and no one is allowed to enter or leave!" The spies showed the emperor's order to the soldiers guarding the city.

When the soldiers saw the warrant, they immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and they acted quickly to execute the order.

With a rumbling sound, the four city gates slowly closed. The heavy sound echoed in the night sky, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.

The residents in the city were still immersed in their dreams, unaware of the great changes that were about to happen.

The gatekeepers at the city gates swore to strictly guard the gates and not let a fly fly through their noses.

But after swearing, the city gate officer at the west gate secretly threw a note out of the window. As the lights were dim in the early morning, the spies did not notice his secretive action.

Near the city wall of the west gate, a drunk was wandering around.

Just as the drunk was about to leave, he spotted the note thrown out of the window by the West Gate guard, picked it up and put it in his pocket.

"Who are you? This is a military camp, ordinary people are not allowed to enter!" The city guards patrolling the gate discovered the drunk man, and several of them quickly rushed up and surrounded him.

The city guards' questions echoed in the night sky, but Heisang seemed not to hear them. He just laughed and muttered words that no one could understand.

His voice was vague, like smoke blown away by the wind, elusive.

The soldiers surrounded him vigilantly, with the tips of their spears flashing cold light, as if warning Heisang not to act rashly.

However, the drunk seemed to be unaware of this. There was no fear on his face. Instead, he looked like he was enjoying it.

He smiled and raised the half-empty bottle in his hand to show it to the soldiers, as if inviting them to share the sweet wine.

His eyes were full of enthusiasm and anticipation, as if waiting for a simple "yes" or "no" answer.

However, the soldiers just looked at him coldly and no one paid attention to his invitation.

In this awkward and long silence, Heisang did not feel any discomfort. He took a sip of wine.
At this time, a soldier came up to the captain and whispered, "Boss, I know this man. He seems to be a retainer of the Cole family, nicknamed Black Sang. He got drunk more than once or twice, and he always runs here when he's drunk."

After hearing that this drunkard was actually from the Cole family, the captain's face instantly became solemn, and his previous majesty was gone.

He was well aware of the Cole family's deep background and influence in the Holy City. Moreover, this was a politically sensitive period and any disturbance could lead to unpredictable consequences.

The captain absolutely did not want to have any friction with the Cole family at this critical juncture.

Although the emperor was planning to take action against the four major families, this confidential information had not yet been made public.

For a minor official like him, both the four major families and the royal family were out of reach.

Therefore, when facing Heisang, a retainer of the Cole family, one of the four major families, the captain felt extremely difficult.

He was unwilling to provoke this drunkard who had a powerful backer, but he had to handle this emergency with caution due to his duties.

The team leader cursed inwardly, he knew that his situation was very delicate.

On the one hand, he was worried that if he handled the matter improperly, he might offend the Cole family and bring unnecessary trouble to himself and his subordinates.

On the other hand, he also knew that if he allowed Heisang to move freely in the camp, he would be in great trouble once he was discovered by the spies sent by the emperor.

So he decisively ordered: "Come here, send him out."

With the careful support of two soldiers, the drunken Heisang staggered out of the camp like a leaf swaying in the wind.

His figure gradually disappeared into the night, taking away the unsettling smell of alcohol and possible trouble.

Watching Heisang leave, the team leader's tense nerves finally relaxed.

He heaved a sigh of relief, secretly praying that this little episode would not have any adverse effects on the upcoming spies. He knew very well that his future and fate might very well hang in the balance.

However, what the team leader did not realize was that this seemingly insignificant action had inadvertently touched the deep-seated political sensitivity of the holy city.

In this complex world of ever-changing forces, every tiny action may trigger a series of unpredictable chain reactions.

What’s more far-reaching is that the competition between the four major families and the royal family has just begun.

After the two soldiers left, Heisang's originally shaking body immediately returned to normal.

He quickly pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket. On it were written a string of numbers and phrases: "186759, white chicken, dark night."

Although Heisang was not clear about the specific meaning of these contents, he kept the instructions of the master in mind and kept staring at that particular window, waiting for the note to appear.

Once a note appears, he must report it to the head of the family immediately without reporting it to anyone else in between.

After returning to the Cole family's residence, Heisang went straight to the room of the head of the family, Tlou Cole.

Before this, Telou Cole had issued orders to everyone near the room, asking them to let Heisang pass as soon as he came, to ensure that the information could be delivered to Telou Cole quickly and accurately.

Arriving at the door, Heisang straightened his clothes slightly to show respect, then knocked on the door.

"Who?" Trouble Cole's vigilant voice came from behind the door. It was obvious that he had not fallen asleep yet.

"Master, it's me, Heisang." Heisang answered respectfully.

"Come in," Trouble Cole ordered.

Hearing Heisang's voice, Telou Cole's eyes instantly turned cold.

He understood that something unusual must have happened at the city gate, otherwise Heisang would not come to him at this time.

When Heisang pushed open the door and handed the note to Trouble Cole, a trace of solemnity flashed across the latter's face.

He took the note and took a quick glance at it, then his expression suddenly changed, as if he had seen something extremely shocking.

After reading it, Trouble Cole placed the note on the candle flame beside him.

The note was instantly ignited and turned into ashes.

During this process, Trouble Cole's eyes remained calm and firm, as if he was thinking quickly about countermeasures.

"Damn it, I knew that the Emperor summoning the Prime Minister and the General tonight would be bad news."

At this moment, Heisang didn't dare to offend Tello Cole.

He lowered his head carefully, fearing that he would be seen by Trouble Cole and thus cause unnecessary trouble.

Telou Cole took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and then said to Heisang, "Heisang, right? Go down and find the butler to claim the reward. You don't have to worry about what happens next."

Hearing the words of the head of the family, Heisang felt relieved and quickly replied gratefully: "Thank you, head of the family." After that, he quickly left the room, fearing that staying any longer would cause trouble.

After Heisang left the room, Trouble Cole quickly took out a palm-sized crystal ball from the drawer.

This crystal ball is cast with a special communication magic, but it is a one-time magic and will become ineffective after use. Therefore, the heads of the four major families rarely use it unless in an emergency.

However, the current situation is urgent.

Trouble Cole had no time to think about anything else, he had to contact the heads of the other three families immediately.

He held the crystal ball tightly and began to chant the spell of communication magic.

As the spell was completed, the crystal ball began to emit a faint light, and gradually formed a curtain of light.
