Fifteen minutes later,
The mansion that had been acquired by Marquis Pingyang was eerily silent. More than two thousand soldiers gripped their weapons tightly with grim expressions, their eyes filled with fear as they stared at the tightly closed gate.
They knew,
Maybe in the next second!
Possibly soon!
Zhou Cheng's men will arrive here and charge in.
"Team leader, the Zhou family has deadly weapons. Are we really... are we really going to fight Zhou Cheng to the death? You witnessed firsthand how powerful those weapons are."
"Yes, leader. Back in the capital, even two thousand imperial guards couldn't stop Zhou Cheng and his twenty men from leaving. Now, Zhou Cheng has nearly a hundred men, and we..."
"Faced with such deadly weapons, we would probably all be dead!"
The guard leading the group turned his head and glanced at his terrified companions.
Every pair of eyes bore the mark of fear of the deadly weapon.
Nobody is afraid!
Even the Yan Emperor was wary of it, and even the Marquis of Pingyang was terrified of it. How could these ordinary soldiers possibly withstand it?
"So what if Zhou Cheng has a weapon? We have Madam as a threat." The team leader suppressed the unease welling up inside him and glanced back at Zhou Shiying, who was tied up. "I don't believe it!"
"I don't believe Zhou Cheng would disregard his older sister's life!"
"Bang--"
The team leader had barely finished speaking.
Suddenly, the sound of a door collapsing rang in my ears.
Looking around, you can see a group of archers dressed in black uniforms, all holding black rifles, standing solemnly on horseback at the main entrance.
The overwhelming aura made the surrounding air seem to freeze.
At the very center of this group stood Zhou Cheng, who looked down upon everyone else. He held the horse's reins in one hand and carried a submachine gun in the other, his sharp eyes scanning the doorway.
That one glance,
Zhou Cheng saw Zhou Shiying covered in wounds.
Zhou Shiying also saw the spirited Zhou Cheng.
Two years apart.
All the misunderstandings and barriers that had arisen because of Lin Jiaoyun vanished completely the moment their eyes met. Zhou Shiying's lips trembled, and she rehearsed the words she was about to say several times.
Finally, it all culminated in a soft call: "Cheng'er..."
"Zhou Cheng".
A sharp shout rang out from the side.
The leader of the guards pulled out a dagger and pressed it against Zhou Shiying's neck. He was clearly terrified, but he still had to put on a confident demeanor: "I advise you not to make any rash moves!"
"So what if you have a weapon? Zhou Shiying is in our hands. Can your weapon be faster than the sword in my hand?"
"I'll give you ten seconds."
"If you don't want her to get hurt, dismount immediately! Throw all your weapons at us, or don't blame us..."
"Bang--"
The soldier leader's words were cut short before he could finish speaking.
A bullet pierced his forehead, leaving a large, gaping hole from which blood gushed. The crimson light blurred the vision of the guard leader, who turned his head in shock to look to the side...
He saw,
I saw an old tree very, very far away.
It is about four or five hundred meters away.
Black rats were lying in ambush there.
Holding a deadly weapon, the moment he shouted for Zhou Cheng to surrender, the moment he thought of threatening Zhou Cheng with Zhou Shiying's life, he aimed at his forehead and killed him instantly.
"How...how could this happen... thud." The team leader collapsed to the ground, his eyes wide open in death.
"Team leader!! The team leader is dead!!"
"It's a weapon. There it is, a person is hiding in that tree over there. That person killed the team leader!"
