章節 429: Chapter 409: Anticipation (First Update)

Chen Qi naturally found the situation absurd.

Indeed, it was ludicrous that a person could come and go from the Eighteen Forts without anyone noticing. If the Eighteen Forts were this lax, they would have been devoured by the Imperial Court long ago.

Especially since that person was Zhou Gu.

Chen Qi also felt a flare of anger within him as he looked at Lin Hai, "Why are you only reporting this now?"

Lin Hai explained, "When we went to look for him, the tea in Zhou Gu's room was still warm, so I thought he had gone to see the Eleventh Fort Leader. When I arrived at the place of Leader Jiang, and discovered that he was not there, we started searching. We didn't realize he had descended the mountain until we had turned the entire Eighteen Forts upside down and found no sign of him."

"Should have? He certainly went down the mountain." Chen Qi said, "Zhou Gu is extremely smart. He must have received some news and left before you arrived."
