At this moment, on the other side of the street.
The Wang, Fang, and Su families in the capital after the prison break.
All three families were important officials in the imperial court, and there were ties between them. Because they had been quite frightened, Lord Wang and Lord Fang huddled together in the Su family's carriage in a panic, and it was unclear what they were feeling guilty about.
Lord Su sat in the seat of honor, dazed and confused.
The bloody scene he had witnessed near the prison kept replaying in his mind. To be honest, he really didn't expect Zhou Cheng to turn the tables.
They will break out of the capital with overwhelming strength.
"Lord Su, do you think... that world-destroying weapon described by the warden is really that terrifying?"
"In all my years, I have never heard of or seen such a strange object. It can kill people silently from a distance of one or two miles away, and can also blow up enemies on a large scale, leaving them with bloody heads."
"Where did Zhou Cheng come from?" Lord Fang was deeply shocked and could not calm down for a long time.
He clenched his fists tightly, recalling Zhou Cheng's request for an audience at the side gate a few days ago. At the time, he thought Zhou Cheng wanted to ask the Fang family for help, so he didn't even meet him.
He even said some offensive things.
Looking back now, I actually feel a little regretful...
"I have no idea."
Lord Su murmured with lingering fear, "All the aristocratic families in the capital thought that Zhou Cheng was a playboy who only knew how to play with women and spent all his time following behind the Lin family's daughter to please her."
"To be honest, I've always thought so too, but I never expected him to give me such a big surprise today!"
"Everyone thought the Zhou family was doomed to fall, and that Zhou Cheng would surely be imprisoned by His Majesty and become a hostage to threaten General Zhou into not having any thoughts of rebellion. But he went out without saying a word."
"They even possess weapons that His Majesty fears. The Zhou family has been hiding them well! Only at the very last moment did those who were certain the Zhou family would perish become a laughing stock!"
"well."
At this point, Lord Su sighed.
The carriage was full of old friends, so Lord Su didn't try to hide himself. He couldn't help but sigh with relief, "Luckily, when Zhou Cheng came to visit a few days ago, I listened to my son and didn't avoid him."
"The situation in Yan Kingdom is likely about to change..."
What? ! !
bass!
Two pairs of eyes suddenly looked up.
Lord Wang and Lord Fang looked as if they had heard something shocking. Their eyes widened as they looked at Lord Su and asked in astonishment, "Zhou Cheng also went to your residence a few days ago?"
These words came out in unison.
Lord Wang's expression suddenly froze. He turned his head and met Lord Fang's gaze.
"You went to your Wang family's place too?"
"They went to your Fang family's place too?"
hiss!
In other words...
Did Zhou Cheng visit all three families?
Seeing the two men's surprised expressions, Lord Su suddenly realized what was going on. He didn't hide anything, but lowered his voice and said to his two old friends, "He did come to my residence."
“We took a shortcut, which I was initially afraid to do, but my youngest son stopped me and told me not to stand by and watch.”
"Looking back now, I'm so glad my youngest son persuaded me, otherwise the Su family might have come to an end..."
Judging from Lord Su's words, not only did he not drive Zhou Cheng away, but he actually met with him.
Lord Wang said incredulously, "The Zhou family was facing a great calamity at the time, yet you still dared to welcome Zhou Cheng into your residence. Weren't you afraid of being implicated? What did Zhou Cheng say to you back then?"
"May I ask you to speak on behalf of General Zhou inside the Golden Phoenix Hall?"
