Qin Mingyi followed his gaze and saw various chaotic sounds coming from the dark night.
There was the sound of horses' hooves and carts rolling over the ground.
At the same time, figures appeared indistinctly in sight.
It was pitch black, and it was difficult to see how many troops were behind them, but Qin Mingyi's heart was in his throat.
