He was completely confused. He didn’t understand why Bai Cheng was sent to guard the ancient tree when there were already guards in the prison!
Hearing Chen’s question, Bai Cheng looked around then whispered to Chen, “Master Chen, you may not know this, but the prison guards are under General Yan’s jurisdiction. The ancient tree in this prison is the heart of the entire city lord’s residence, so General Xing specially sent me to lead people to guard the ancient tree.”
“In that case, we will watch over each other together with the prison guards, and no one can do anything to harm the ancient tree!”
“General Yan? General Xing? Who are these generals? Are they all at odds?”
I don’t understand some of Baicheng’s words!
Seeing Chen’s expression, Bai Cheng knew that he really didn’t understand, so he asked, “Mr. Chen, is this your first visit to Beast City?”
“That’s right. I used to train in the mountains and forests around Beast City. This is my first time entering Beast City!”
He nodded and said!
“That explains it all. Master Chen, you might not know this, but Beast City is now under the jurisdiction of three Beast Generals, and the city lord hasn’t shown his face for a long time.”
“These three beast generals are General Yan, General Xing, and General Qiu. Although they have their respective roles, they also check and balance each other, and none of them trusts the others!”
“I am General Xing’s guest advisor, and General Xing ordered me to guard the ancient tree in this prison.”
“The guards in this prison are not on our side. On the contrary, Captain Zhou always dislikes me and wants to beat me up.”
Bai Cheng then explained in detail the current situation in Beast City!
After hearing that, I immediately understood why the prison changed its rules yesterday and specifically added ten minutes of exercise time!
Moreover, when I fought with Bai Cheng, not a single guard appeared. It doesn’t seem like Captain Zhou is afraid of me, but rather he did it on purpose to get me to fight with Bai Cheng!
“Where did this beast city lord go?” he asked.
“I don’t know either. All I know is that the lord of Beast City hasn’t been seen for a long time.”
Bai Cheng shook his head and said!
After all, Bai Cheng was just a guest advisor for one of the beast generals, and he probably didn’t know many secrets within the city lord’s residence!
“Do you know what secrets this ancient tree hides, and why it needs to be guarded by someone alone?”
Keep asking Bai Cheng!
Since Bai Cheng was guarding the ancient tree, he must know some secrets!
Bai Cheng was slightly taken aback, then his expression became a bit strange, as if he was in a bit of trouble!
