The slow sound of iron hoofbeats struck the victims' hearts, and Zhang Zhuo said calmly: "I am the magistrate of Luocheng appointed by the emperor, Zhang Zhuo! Those who do not retreat will be killed according to the law."

It was at this time that some victims saw through the city gate that Xifeng and others were pulling a cart of food at the end of the long street: "The food is coming!"

"The food is coming!"

"Quick, don't stop Mr. Zhang from setting up a porridge shed!"

The victims suddenly seemed to be defeated and receded like a tide.

Chen Ji let out a long breath.

Zhang Zhuo stood beside him and said with a cheerful smile: "I thought you were really not afraid of death!"

Chen Ji said tiredly: "Master Zhang, is there anyone in this world who is really not afraid of death? I'm scared to death."

Zhang Zhuo lowered his head and looked at the traces carefully. He saw that the young man's clothes were torn and his face was bruised. He was in an extremely miserable state.

After a moment, he solemnly said: "Thank you."

Chen Ji said casually: "Sir, there is no need to thank me. It will be fine if nothing happens."

Zhang Zhuo solemnly said: "Without your warning, I would not have noticed that there was a civil uprising tonight; without you delaying the time, the victims would not have been able to wait for food. I would like to thank you for saving Mr. Chen and I's heads, and secondly

Thank you for protecting the thousands of families behind this city gate. Thank you for preventing these victims from turning into mobs and saving these poor people."

With that said, Zhang Zhuo jumped off his horse and bowed deeply to Chen Ji.

Chen Ji turned sideways slightly and felt that Zhang Zhuo tonight was a little different from Zhang Zhuo in the past.

He spoke slowly: "Now that Mr. Zhang is here to take charge of the overall situation, it's time for me to leave."

"Wait!"

"Um?"

Zhang Zhuo looked at Chen Ji and asked seriously: "I have great ambitions, can you help me?"

Chen Ji smiled: "Thank you Mr. Zhang for your support. I know how much I weigh. I can risk my life, but I can't join the officialdom."

Zhang Zhuo looked into Chen Ji's eyes and was not angry at the rejection. Instead, he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, it's not sweet to force yourself. But if you change your mind one day, you can come to me at any time."

Chen Ji was confused and felt that he had heard this sentence somewhere before. He replied firmly: "I will not change my mind."

Zhang Zhuo laughed loudly: "Young men, don't talk nonsense. The only constant in this world is 'change'."

After that, he took the initiative to change the subject: "Is the Liu family really the mastermind behind this matter?"

Chen Ji responded: "It's certain."

Zhang Zhuo looked at the Wuyangyang victims: "Don't rush to retire now. The Liu family is still hiding among the victims. If they are allowed to continue hiding, something may happen. Let me ask you, do you have any

How to find them?"

Chen Ji closed his eyes and thought.

When he opened his eyes again, he replied: "There is a way, you can try it."
