Chapter One: Wu Lanxi is being hunted by assassins and arrives in Qihuai County



After saying that, he turned and left.

Once on the city wall, Tang Huan glanced around and indeed saw a cavalry team of about twenty people.

In broad daylight, they were dressed in black, with even their faces covered by black cloth; they were clearly not good people.

The two women being chased were clearly wealthy heiresses, with thick black hair and luxurious clothes.

Hey, professional horse thief.

Wealthy merchants.

This is going to be a huge windfall.

He immediately ordered Li Da Kui: "Level One Alert, activate."
