Catching Monsters

Chapter 501 What Eunuch Feng Said Makes Sense

"Use some tricks?" Wang Longzhi frowned slightly. Since Zhang Yuhu was not a fool, he could not be fooled by a few tricks.

Xiao Min'er casually tossed the cut flowers and branches to the ground and said, "According to the information sent back by our spies in the capital, Zhang Yuhu should have been implicated in the cases of Xiao Jingfu and Zhang Yao. He went to the front line to make a name for himself."

"What if Xiao Yuzheng found out that he met with Xiao Jingqi?"

“But Xiao Jingqi is already dead.” Wang Longzhi’s expression changed slightly.

"I've heard that there's a heretical cultivator named Fang Jinglian in the Demon Spirit Sect. He doesn't have any other skills, but he has a great talent for disguise and changing one's appearance. If you're not familiar with him, it's not easy for him to see through your disguise."

"Longzhi, go with him and risk going to the front lines to see Zhang Yuhu."

……

Inside the city of Daegu, Zhang Yuhu sat in the study of the government office, repeatedly looking through the imperial court's commendation of him as the Grand Protector General.

Great.

The weight that had been hanging over Zhang Yuhu's heart was finally lifted. With such an award, at least he would no longer be implicated in Zhang Yao's case.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuhu was in a great mood. Under the pretext of inspecting the defenses of Daegu City, he left with more than ten guards and headed straight for the Crescent Moon Restaurant in Daegu City.

Get ready to enjoy a good drink.

The String Music Restaurant is a well-known pleasure quarter in Daegu, but due to repeated wars, it is somewhat deserted and few people dare to come and have fun.

At this moment, Zhang Yuhu arrived, and the pimp, seeing that he was accompanied by more than a dozen soldiers, knew that the newcomers were up to no good. He quickly forced a smile and said, "Gentlemen, the girls here have all returned to their hometowns because of the war, so you should..."

Upon hearing this, the guard behind him glared at the man and cursed, "How dare you! This is our general. He came here because he understands how difficult it is for you to do business, and he wants you to open your shop and do some business."

Upon hearing this, the pimp's face darkened. These soldiers were taking advantage of the special circumstances to freeload and refuse to pay...

Zhang Yuhu casually tossed out two silver ingots: "I'm in a good mood, so I'll have all the girls here come over."

The pimp's eyes lit up immediately, and he smiled broadly: "Yes, thank you, General, thank you, General."

Soon, more than twenty girls came to the backyard after hearing the news. However, for a big shot like Zhang Yuhu, these girls were nothing special in terms of appearance or figure.

It was nothing compared to places like the Imperial Music Bureau in the capital.

However, Zhang Yuhu also knew that conditions were tough on the front lines, so he couldn't ask for too much.

Soon, in a private room with four wooden tables, each guard was embracing two girls and happily drinking.

Zhang Yuhu did not do that, and did not sit in the same room as the other soldiers.

He was alone in another private room, ready to undress and get down to business first, and then eat and drink.

The four girls in his room were preparing to help him undress when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"General Zhang, General Zhang."

The pimp's voice rang out, and Zhang Yuhu frowned, opening the door impatiently: "What do you want?"

"These ladies are all common beauties. Here we have Miss Yunrong, who is truly a beauty of unparalleled grace. However, Miss Yunrong said that the general must go to see her in person before she will accompany him."

"A beauty of unparalleled grace?" Zhang Yuhu asked upon hearing this, "Where is she?"

"We'll be waiting for you in the private room upstairs."

"Take me to see them," Zhang Yuhu said, immediately losing interest in the four women in the room.

He followed the pimp upstairs and soon arrived at a boudoir. He pushed open the door and walked in with a smile on his face, but as soon as he entered the room, his expression froze.

There was no Yunrong girl inside; instead, Wang Longzhi and Xiao Jingqi, dressed in a python robe, were sitting inside.

Zhang Yuhu's expression changed, realizing something was amiss, and he turned to leave.

Wang Longzhi stood up and said with a smile, "General Zhang, why are you in such a hurry to leave? We are old acquaintances from our time in the capital."

"What, are you in such a hurry to find someone to arrest me and His Highness the Sixth Prince?"

"His Highness the Sixth Prince and I have come here in person. Don't you want to have a talk with us?"

Zhang Yuhu's heart stirred slightly. He narrowed his eyes, knowing that he had to keep these two calm first and not let them escape.

If we could capture Xiao Jingqi and Wang Longzhi directly, that would be a tremendous achievement!
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuhu slowly sat down opposite them and said in a deep voice, "What brings you two here to see me?" Xiao Jingfu smiled and said, "General Zhang, to be honest, I greatly admired you when I was in the capital. It's a pity that you and my fourth brother are too close."

"I've come to invite General Zhang to join our rebel army. With your qualifications, the position of Grand General is rightfully yours."

Zhang Yuhu sneered inwardly. He glared at the two men and slowly said, "Trying to persuade me to surrender? You're oversimplifying things."

“I, Zhang Yuhu, may not have much else, but I certainly have backbone.” With that, Zhang Yuhu gave Wang Longzhi a deep look and said disdainfully, “Serving the emperor and the country is my way of serving in the army, unlike you, who would betray His Majesty’s trust for the sake of a woman.”

"Because of you and that woman, countless people are now displaced and suffering terribly."

"You still have the nerve to wave the banner of the rebel army and talk nonsense in front of me."

Wang Longzhi calmly said, "Didn't you also collude with the Fourth Prince Xiao Jingfu, intending to rebel?"

"What rebellion did I plot?" Zhang Yuhu said, looking aggrieved. "I just stood by the Fourth Prince as usual. Who knew the Fourth Prince had gone mad and wanted to rebel? If I had known, would I have been on the same boat as him?"

“My actions are not the same as those of a traitor like you.”

Wang Longzhi's smile remained unchanged as she calmly replied, "Oh."

Seeing the two people opposite him fall silent, Zhang Yuhu was pondering how to take them down.

After a moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, and Feng Yu walked in from outside.

When Feng Yu entered, he was slightly taken aback. When he saw that Xiao Jingqi and Wang Longzhi were there, his expression changed immediately.

He was informed by someone that Zhang Yuhu wanted him to come.

"Feng Yu." Wang Longzhi frowned and said in a deep voice, "General Zhang, our matter is settled."

Zhang Yuhu: "?"

He instantly realized he'd fallen for a trap!

Feng Yu said in a cold voice, "General Wang, Your Highness the Sixth Prince, now that you're here, don't leave so easily."

Whether they stay or not is not up to you.

A voice suddenly rang out from behind the screen inside the room, and Xie Yifeng walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.

Feng Yu narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Sword God Xie Yifeng."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yifeng shook his head slightly and said, "Not long ago, Qu Wushang was still alive in the capital. Who would still have the face to call themselves the Sword God?"

"Even with my thick skin, I can't bear to hear those two words."

Clearly, Qu Wushang's final shout of "Who dares to call themselves the Sword God again?" still had a significant deterrent effect on Xie Yifeng and the others.

"Eunuch Feng, farewell." After Wang Longzhi and Xiao Jingqi got up, they followed Xie Yifeng and quickly left the room.

Feng Yu clenched his fists, wanting to make a move, but in the end he calmed down. He was no match for Xie Yifeng.

If I act rashly, I'm afraid I'll be the one who dies here.

After they left, Zhang Yuhu anxiously approached Feng Yu and said in a deep voice, "Eunuch Feng, this is their scheme!"

"I didn't talk to them about anything! You have to believe me!"

Then, Zhang Yuhu anxiously recounted his conversation with Wang Longzhi and the others after entering the house, not daring to hide a single word.

After listening, Feng Yu's expression remained unusually calm. He simply said, "General Zhang, no matter what, you shouldn't have kept it from me and met with them."

"I was led here by them." Zhang Yuhu took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "Could you please keep His Majesty from knowing about this for the time being?"

Feng Yu closed his eyes slightly and said, "I will report this matter to His Majesty truthfully. Of course, I will also report your statement and the content of your conversation with them to His Majesty."

"Rest assured, His Majesty is discerning. If you are truly innocent, you have nothing to fear."

"Furthermore, General Zhang, you must not leave my side for even a moment. Of course, I am doing this for your safety. If Xie Yifeng were to come and harm you today, wouldn't that just let their scheme succeed?"

Zhang Yuhu took a deep breath, and could only manage a helpless bitter smile: "What Eunuch Feng said makes sense."
