Meanwhile, at the left alley entrance, less than 500 meters from the darkroom.
The group of soldiers who had followed Zhou Cheng to the border had all gathered here, their faces flushed, gripping their swords and weapons tightly, their eyes brimming with barely suppressed excitement.
From Yancheng to the border, it's a journey of a thousand miles.
They dreamed of gaining Zhou Cheng's approval and being taken in, but... Zhou Cheng was heartless and unmoved!
"Are you sure Miss Cheng was brought here?" The middle-aged guard turned his head and asked solemnly.
The young soldier said with absolute certainty, "I saw it with my own eyes!"
"At that time, all of Young Master Zhou's confidants were lured away, leaving only two people guarding the main entrance. This group of people took the opportunity to sneak into the inn and then quietly kidnapped Miss Cheng."
"Miss Cheng was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she was completely stunned. She didn't even dare to scream for help! I swear I didn't see wrong, it's absolutely true!"
“Young Master Zhou cares so much about Miss Cheng. If we can rescue Miss Cheng, it will definitely be a great achievement. Because of this, I didn’t dare to shout or make a fuss, and I didn’t notify the Zhou family.”
"We'll be in Jiangling City in just one more day. Whether Young Master Zhou will take us in depends on this! This is a golden opportunity right in front of us!"
Fearing the soldiers wouldn't believe him, the young soldier directly extended his hand and swore an oath, his expression extremely serious.
He followed Zhou Cheng all the way, constantly looking for an opportunity to gain Zhou's approval.
With Jiangling City getting closer and closer, if I don't find an opportunity soon... I'm afraid I'll really have no chance to seek refuge with the Zhou family.
But at this crucial moment!
As he went out to relieve himself, he saw several dark figures break through the window and rush into the second floor of the inn, silently kidnapping Miss Cheng! At that moment, the young soldier felt more excited than shocked.
He knew that the opportunity had come.
"Great! I never expected we'd stumble upon something like this!"
A fierce fire ignited in the eyes of the middle-aged soldier. He gripped his spear tightly and addressed the hundreds of soldiers behind him: "Brothers, whether we can be accepted by Young Master Zhou depends on this moment!"
"As long as we can rescue Miss Cheng safely, Young Master Zhou will definitely reward us handsomely!"
"I've lived for thirty or forty years and seen many masters, but I've never seen a single one who treated his subordinates as human beings. Just think of the Marquis of Pingyang, who only knows how to exploit us!"
"Look at the Zhou family, they're all living a life of luxury, wielding weapons that even Emperor Yan envies, eating fine rice and flour, and even having fatty pork belly with every meal, plus they get paid!"
"Following a master like this, what's wrong with risking one's life?"
"Isn't the point of living to strive for a better future?"
"Now, a bright future is within reach. There are probably only a few dozen kidnappers here, and with several hundred of us working together, we're sure to rescue Miss Cheng!"
After a few motivational words, he finished speaking.
The soldiers imagined being accepted by Zhou Cheng, with plenty of food and meat at every meal, and goosebumps rose all over their bodies.
The young soldiers were all flushed, their eyes fixed on the door in the distance, wishing they could rush in immediately, kill all the kidnappers, and rescue Cheng Xianyi.
The atmosphere was tense, ready to erupt at any moment.
The middle-aged soldier stood up excitedly, raised his hand, pointed towards the hidden room, and shouted, "Brothers! Kill!!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
"........"
Just a moment before the hundreds of soldiers rushed out, about a quarter of an hour ago.
The alleyway on the right is also only a few hundred meters away from the darkroom.
The dozens of members of the Border Return Pavilion branch also huddled in a corner.
Ziyan, who had gone to deliver the message, looked up and glanced at the dark, dilapidated gate in the distance. Her eyes were sharp, and she spoke to the people behind her with great momentum: "This is it."
