"yes!!"
"The young master has ordered that they be killed."
"Da da da—"
Led by Black Rat, he rode his swift horse straight at the group of soldiers, raising his rifles and aiming the dark muzzles at the soldiers who were momentarily unsure whether to run or continue charging forward.
then,
Bang, bang, bang,
A deafening gunshot echoed throughout the entire scene.
Before the leading guard could react, he was shot in the forehead, a huge bloody hole appearing out of nowhere between his eyebrows. His pupils dilated, and he slowly collapsed to the ground.
"It really is... it really is Zhou Cheng."
"Bang!"
"It really is Zhou Cheng?! How is that possible? How could they be here? Aren't they in Jiangling City?!"
"Damn it, the spies the Marquis sent have been exposed! Zhou Cheng is here! Zhou Cheng is here with weapons! Run!"
"Ah! My leg, my leg, please help me..."
Black Sheep sat on the bluestone ground, his back against the wall, weakly adjusting his breathing as he watched the guards who had been so arrogant and domineering just a moment ago shouting that they would capture him alive, now screaming and crying for help.
Headshots rang out one after another, blood splattering across the ground.
The hundreds of eyes that had been so confident suddenly turned to fear and terror. They all dropped their weapons and fled in all directions.
pity.........
There's no chance anymore.
How could the soldiers of the garrison possibly outrun a bullet?
etc!
Black Sheep seemed to suddenly realize something, and immediately, holding his breath, shouted at the approaching Black Rat, "Save her! Leave her alive! The lady couldn't escape the Marquis of Pingyang's clutches..."
This war ended with overwhelming force.
One or two hundred soldiers were all killed on the spot.
Black Rat dragged a soldier who had been shot in the leg and threw him to the ground. The soldier was so frightened that he lost control of his bladder and bowels.
He stared in fear at Zhou Cheng, who was slowly approaching on horseback. Feeling Zhou Cheng's condescending gaze from above, the soldier felt a sense of despair, as if he were being pursued by the King of Hell.
"Young Master Zhou, spare my life..."
“Black sheep.” Zhou Cheng withdrew his gaze from the guards.
His eyes turned to the black sheep, and only when it got closer did Zhou Cheng see that the black sheep's face was deathly pale and blood was flowing from its shoulder: "What have you been through on your journey? How did you get... injured?"
Zhou Cheng immediately dismounted and went forward to check on the black sheep's injuries.
The good news is that the arrow that pierced the black sheep was not poisoned.
The bad news was that the arrows were made from rusted sharp tools.
The rusty artifact carried Clostridium perfringens, and the wound was deep. Without timely treatment, the wound had become red and swollen during the escape, with a 70-80% chance of infection. Given the medical level of Yan Kingdom, it was certain that it could not be cured.
"not good!"
"Young master, the black sheep's wound... seems to be infected."
Black Rat tore open the clothes with a grim expression, his eyes blazing with anger: "This still smells of rust! Marquis Pingyang is truly vicious! Although this substance is not poisonous, it can increase the probability of infection in wounds."
"Once infected, one will die from convulsions."
"I've seen many cases of infected wounds, and even the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital are powerless to save them. What can we do..."
“Young master, my brother was also wounded by a rusty knife back then. The wound became infected, and he didn't last long. This arrow wound has probably been left untreated for a long time; Black Sheep hasn't had time to treat it. This, this…”
Black Sheep was sweating profusely as he frowned at the swollen wound.
