"It must be the young master who has come to Yan City, for sure."
“I can’t fall into their hands. The young lady is still waiting for you to rescue her… That old scoundrel, Marquis Pingyang, will definitely change his route once he finds out that you are lying in ambush along the way.”
"If he hides in the shadows with the young lady and delays his entry into the capital, then we'll be in trouble."
"God help me..."
"May God grant that the young master is nearby. The loud explosion just now could only have been the aftershock of a grenade. He'll be there soon, just hang in there..."
The black sheep ran forward while praying.
Even from a great distance, he could see flames shooting into the sky from the direction of the vault, accompanied by a series of loud explosions.
He fled for an hour or two while wounded, and was completely exhausted.
However, the soldiers of the Marquis of Pingyang behind him were determined to capture him alive. Fortunately, at this moment, Black Sheep discovered the movement in the treasury. He could only gamble on whether the force that robbed the Yan City treasury was Zhou Cheng.
Tap tap tap........
These are the footsteps of the guards behind us.
Tap tap tap...
“Da da da!!”
As his consciousness gradually became confused, the black sheep seemed to hear the sound of horses' hooves approaching from afar.
Each sound pounded on his heart.
It was already the middle of the night, and the moonlight poured down. Under Black Sheep's feet was a straight road about two miles long. His clothes were stained with blood, and he ran forward with an anxious and desperate expression.
Several hundred meters behind them were the pursuing soldiers.
And ahead,
At the corner ahead.
A fast horse suddenly appeared from the side, and a man dressed in black rode on its back. His handsome face and cold, calm black eyes unexpectedly entered the black sheep's pupils.
At that moment,
Boom boom boom!
The black sheep heard its own heart pounding.
His eyes were filled with Zhou Cheng's reflection. He stared at the man on horseback with a mixture of awe and excitement, watching familiar figures dart out from around the corner. His eyes welled up with tears, and he shouted:
"Young Master! Young Master!!!"
"I am Black Sheep, young master, save me!"
"The Marquis of Pingyang's guards are chasing me; it's this group of people behind me..."
The shouts echoed throughout the long road.
The night was too dark for Zhou Cheng to see the figures in the distance clearly, but he heard the words "Black Sheep" very clearly.
Black Rat, who had followed closely behind, changed his expression drastically: "Black Sheep? Young Master, Black Sheep has already arrived to join us. He probably ran into Marquis Pingyang's men on the way and was chased and killed."
Zhou Cheng stood on horseback, his dark eyes half-closed, his gaze passing through the position of the black sheep and looking at the one or two hundred soldiers chasing after him.
The hundred or two hundred soldiers who rushed up slowed down, their excitement turning into wariness, and then they turned their gaze to Zhou Cheng and the others.
This very second.
Silence fell all around.
The black sheep, covered in blood, stood in the center, creating a stark contrast between the two sides.
"Oh,"
A soft laugh escaped Zhou Cheng's lips, carrying an undeniable contempt that echoed through the deathly silent road.
He didn't even bother to take action himself, simply making a gesture to the rear, uttering a few words, and casually ending the battle: "Kill them all."
"yes!"
