"Young Miss! It's me! I am Black Sheep. I've finally found you."
"You really are...it really is you." The moment Zhou Shiying saw Black Sheep, tears streamed down her face. She opened her mouth slightly in disbelief: "You, how could you be here?"
"Weren't you in the capital with Cheng'er? Where is Cheng'er? Where is my brother!"
"Where is my brother? He must be alright, right? Tell me."
After the initial surprise came endless panic and fear.
The surname Hei (黑) in the Chinese zodiac sign refers to the first-class personal bodyguard that the father bestowed upon his younger brother.
They were all extremely loyal and carefully nurtured, never straying far from Zhou Cheng.
The black sheep appeared here.
Then, what about Cheng'er?
Zhou Shiying even forgot about the soldiers chasing after her. She didn't even care about her own safety. Instead, she held onto Hei Yang's hand tightly and kept asking where her brother was and if he was alright.
"Young Miss, Young Master is alright, he's perfectly fine!"
Zhou Shiying subconsciously smiled excitedly.
But the next second.
She immediately realized it was impossible and shook her head: "You're lying to me, how could he be alright!"
“Really, I’m not lying to you. Didn’t Pingyang City tell you that the young master was imprisoned in the capital by Emperor Yan and became a hostage? That was news from more than half a month ago, a long time ago.”
Zhou Shiying was stunned by this unexpected reversal.
"The current situation is that the young master possesses a world-destroying weapon."
"He led the Zhou family out of the capital and headed to Jiangling City to meet up. The next day, he learned the secret that you had been sent to the capital as a hostage by the Marquis of Pingyang. That very day, the young master gathered a group of men and headed back to the capital to rescue you."
Save her?
is that so.......
Cheng'er wasn't angry with her.
Did they still rush to save her after learning she was in danger?
But, but how could she possibly deserve it!
A deep sense of guilt enveloped Zhou Shiying, and she trembled all over.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the young master should be in Wangcheng right now. Wangcheng is the best place to stop the Marquis of Pingyang. He is really alright, Miss, don't worry. I will take you to find the young master now."
As he spoke,
Black Sheep reached out and grabbed Zhou Shiying's arm firmly.
In just two short years, Zhou Shiying has lost a lot of weight, looks much more haggard, and has a very weak complexion. Even her brows are furrowed.
Black Sheep didn't dare ask Zhou Shiying about her experiences during this time, much less how she knew the truth, or how much effort she had expended to escape from the Marquis of Pingyang...
The pain of being betrayed by loved ones is unbearable just to think about.
"no!"
"It's too late."
Zhou Shiying, pale as a sheet, bent over, glanced at the soldiers who were about to catch up, and gritted her teeth to pry open Black Sheep's hand: "I, I can't run away, my body can't hold on."
"Black Sheep, you should go now. Go find Cheng'er quickly."
"I'll be at ease as long as I'm sure Cheng'er is alright. Go quickly, don't worry about me, take me with you, neither of us can escape."
The black sheep stood there, stunned.
He instinctively reached for the gun on his back.
But when he looked down, he saw Zhou Shiying's face, which was so pale it was almost bloodless, and her lips were even turning blue, as if she was enduring extreme pain.
The footsteps grew closer and closer...
