Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The wooden fences outside the Gale Stockade were all connected by wooden stakes that were thirty to forty feet deep into the ground. The gate was made of incomparably thick black iron scaled wood and was exceptionally sturdy. There were two tall sentry towers on both sides of the gate. There were four to five vigilant bandits in the sentry tower, looking around.

At the same time, there were people patrolling the Gale Stockade.

The security was not bad.

However, he had a clear grasp of the distribution of the Gale Stockade and the location of these patrolling personnel. Before Xiao Shi came, he had already obtained a clear grasp of the map provided by Yin She.

He arrived at the weakest spot. With a leap, he climbed along the fence and entered.

The Gale Stockade was divided into two levels.

The outside was the residence and activity area of these ordinary bandits. On normal days, many people could be seen, but with the banquet today, many people went inside to participate in the banquet. After Xiao Shi sneaked in, other than the bandits patrolling the surroundings, he did not see anyone else.

After Xiao Shi sneaked in, he entered the interior with ease according to the map in his mind, as if he had been here before. He went straight to the courtyard where the wife of the owner of the Hui Hai Restaurant was located.

On the way, he passed by a wide venue. That was where the banquet was held. Even from afar, Xiao Shi could smell the strong smell of alcohol.

Looking at the drunk bandits on the ground, killing intent flashed in Xiao Shi’s eyes. In his eyes, these bandits were all Martial Entry-Level items, bringing with them a strong temptation. He took a deep breath and resisted the urge to punch them one by one.

His personality was stable. He felt that it was better to follow the most stable method. He had to save her first.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shi did not take another look and directly arrived at the destination of this trip.

This was a rather elegant small courtyard. There were flowers and plants planted in the courtyard. The scenery was beautiful and had a certain flavor. The guards outside the courtyard had all gone to the banquet, causing the place to be completely silent. Only the light from the lamps could be seen.

Xiao Shi did not rashly step into this courtyard. He first took out many miscellaneous items from his storage bag and threw them into the courtyard, preparing to check if there were any traps on the ground.

Nothing happened after these miscellaneous items were thrown up. Everything was fine. However, Xiao Shi was still worried. He looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard. He suspected that these flowers and plants were not ordinary flowers and plants, but some kind of poisonous grass that released poisonous gas.

Therefore, he quickly used the miscellaneous items in his storage bag to throw them from afar and smashed these flowers and plants. Then, he checked the tiles and walls in the courtyard. He did not let go of any corner where there might be traps.

His brows gradually furrowed. “There aren’t any traps? There aren’t any other precautions.”

This was beyond his expectations. In his opinion, this courtyard should have been set up with an inescapable net. However, the truth was completely different from what he had guessed.

Everything was normal here.

Xiao Shi was deep in thought. After some calculations, he walked straight into the courtyard and came to the door. After confirming that there was no poison on the door and that there were no traps, he smashed the room with his palm and quickly threw a puppet in.

A woman screamed from the room.

Xiao Shi looked outside the door. After confirming that there were no traps in the room and that the puppet he had thrown in was still intact, he walked into the room warily.

At this moment, Xiao Shi was not only wearing a wide black bamboo hat, but also a black scarf. This was a special black scarf. Its main function was not to cover one’s face, but to prevent poisonous gas.

After entering the room, Xiao Shi immediately saw the woman in the room.

This was a beautiful and well-rounded woman. Her figure was graceful, and her facial features were beautiful. Her beautiful watery eyes coupled with thick eyelashes contained the unique charm of a woman, like a well-rounded crabapple flower.

She was very charming. Especially under the light gauze clothes she was wearing at this moment, her entire good figure was vividly displayed, emitting a strong temptation.

Before coming, Xiao Shi had already heard the boss of Hui Hai Restaurant describe his wife’s appearance. He even asked him to draw a portrait.

With his steady personality, he would naturally consider that the chief might use other women to be the hostage’s substitute. Before saving her, he had to know what the wife of the boss of Hui Hai Restaurant looked like.

At that time, Xiao Shi had already realized that his wife should be pretty from the description and paintings of the boss of Hui Hai Restaurant. He did not expect her to be so stunning after seeing it with his own eyes.

Xiao Shi finally understood why the chief wanted to kidnap her and make her his wife.

Facing Xiao Shi’s powerful intrusion, the beautiful woman looked at him in horror. However, after seeing his attire, the fear on her face immediately dissipated. “Night patroller?”

Xiao Shi nodded. “Time is of the essence. Follow me out of here.”

“Yes, yes!” The beautiful woman nodded vigorously.

They were about to move when there was a sudden round of applause from outside. Two figures walked in from outside. One of them was the chief, Xu Feng, who was supposed to be drunk.

His image was very different from what Xiao Shi had imagined.

Xiao Shi had thought that these chiefs were all fierce and tough. Unexpectedly, the chief of the Gale Stockade was a slender, elegant, and handsome man with a long saber on his back.

At the same time, the Qi and blood fluctuations emitted from his body were different from the information Xiao Shi had obtained from the mission. He was no longer at Martial Entry-Level Six, but had already reached Martial Entry-Level Seven!

Beside him was an old man in black, who was also at the seventh stage of the Martial Entry-Level.

Xiao Shi’s expression immediately darkened. He couldn’t help but wonder what went wrong with the plan.

“Could it be Yin She?”

He recalled carefully. Judging from Yin She’s behavior, he probably wouldn’t betray the Night Patrol Division. However, Xiao Shi’s intuition told him that the reason why his plan had failed was definitely because of Yin She.

“Could it be...” Xiao Shi’s heart stirred. He thought of a possibility!

The chief, Xu Feng, and the old man beside him clapped their hands as they walked into the house, blocking Xiao Shi inside.

“I have to say that among all the night patrollers who have infiltrated my Gale Stockade, you are the most cautious, the smartest, and the one with the highest chance of success.” The chief, Xu Feng, ed with a smile.

“If you were the first night patroller to infiltrate my Gale Stockade, I think you would have succeeded by now. Unfortunately, I already knew that Yin She was a spy planted by your Night Patrol Division.

“The reason why I didn’t kill him and let him continue to be your spy is because I wanted to use him to send you night patrollers to your deaths! From the moment Yin She brought me the wine, I guessed that you would make a move. Even though I couldn’t think of a specific plan, I knew that it must have something to do with the wine.

“So, I didn’t even take a sip of wine today!”

Xiao Shi sighed inwardly. It was indeed so! It was just as he had thought. Unfortunately, he came to his senses too late.

This time, he had been negligent!

In fact, he should have realized this when Yin She had told him that the spies who had helped them sneak in were discovered after the failure of the night patrollers in the past.

Yin She had helped several night patrols infiltrate the Gale Stockade. The other spies had been found because of this. How could he continue to hide? He should have realized that Yin She’s identity had long been exposed.

No matter what he did, Xu Feng would pay special attention to this spy.

...

“You fished through our spy in the Night Patrol Division. This is indeed something I didn’t expect, but... you’ve also made a very serious mistake.” A meaningful smile appeared on Xiao Shi’s face.

“Hmm?” Xu Feng narrowed his eyes.
