Zuan chuckled, said nothing, and simply picked her up and gently placed her on his body.
Zheng Dan trembled all over, no longer having the energy to blame him. She bit her lip desperately, afraid of making any sound.
Just then, a voice with yellow and gray tones came from outside: "Miss Zheng, are you alright?"
Zheng Dan's heart skipped a beat. She quickly tried to control her voice so it wouldn't tremble, and replied calmly, "No...it's nothing. Why do you ask?"
"Oh, I was just worried something had happened to you when I heard it suddenly go silent inside, so I asked." Huang Huihong said with a smile. After all, he was under the supervision of the authorities, and Zheng Dan was the wife of an official. If something really happened to her, it would be bad for him to lose face if word got out.
Zu An immediately objected: "Commander Huang, what are you saying? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Zheng Dan couldn't help but punch his chest with her little fist. You bastard, it would be strange if you weren't that kind of person.
I don't know where he gets the nerve to talk such nonsense with such a straight face. The key is, what if his arrogance actually leads the other party in?
Thinking of this, she became extremely nervous, and her body trembled involuntarily.
Zu An's expression immediately turned strange, and he quickly took a deep breath.
Huang Huihong outside snorted coldly, "Miss Zheng, if anything happens, just call us."
He clearly didn't want to bother with Zu An, nor did he want to provoke this troublesome guy. After all, this guy was too difficult to deal with, always coming up with so many strange ideas, and he didn't want to get burned.
"Okay, thank you, Commander Huang." Zheng Dan replied politely, while also giving Zu An a few light punches with his fists. This guy was too much of a handful.
At this moment, Sang Qian was craning his neck to look in that direction from the prison cart following behind, but unfortunately, apart from vaguely seeing the cart swaying a bit, he couldn't see anything else.
"Stop looking, it's pointless," Sang Hong couldn't help but remind them. By this time, the restrictions on their speech points had already expired.
Sang Qian gritted his teeth: "Are we just going to let that Zu family bully Dan'er like this?"
Sang Hong glared at him angrily, "What time is it for you to be thinking about these sentimental things! The most important thing is how we can get through this crisis. As long as we get through this crisis, with my abilities, I will make a comeback sooner or later. At worst, I can marry you off to ten or eight more noble ladies, wouldn't that be better?"
Sang Qian muttered, "But I still think Dan'er suits my taste the most. The key is that I can't stand the smug look on that scoundrel surnamed Zu's face."
Sang Hong: "..."
This guy is hopeless. My son and I are about to die, and he still cares about these trivial things.
He completely gave up on his hopes for his son, only hoping that Qian'er could make a decision and not be as foolish as her brother.
Gazing in the direction of the capital, Sang Hong's eyes flashed with a sharp light, clearly indicating that he was rapidly contemplating something.
...
The group unknowingly passed through a valley when suddenly countless rocks fell from above, as if a mountain had collapsed.
"Watch out!" Huang Huihong hurriedly warned everyone, and immediately swung out the Soul-Hooking Chain to lash out at the stones in the air.
With a single lash, the stone would often shatter into pieces.
Other guards also drew their weapons and slashed, most of them able to split the stones, but a few unlucky ones were unable to dodge in time and were hit on the head by the stones.
The entire group was thrown into chaos. Just then, an enormous rock fell from the mountaintop and crashed straight into the carriage where Zu'an was.
Given the size and weight of that rock, if it were to be smashed into the ground, even if Liu Yao's carriage were sturdy, it would probably be crushed.
Huang Huihong was shocked. They were dealing with the previous boulders, and they had no time to save this one.
At that moment, an invisible cyan blade appeared out of thin air and slashed directly at the boulder.
"It's General Wei's sword aura!" Many people recognized the origin of the sword aura and shouted excitedly.
Although this boulder is enormous, how could it withstand a full-force attack from a ninth-rank cultivator?
It was sliced in two by the invisible blade energy, and the two stones flew to the sides with a loud bang.
Liu Yao soared into the sky, tapping the mountainside a few times along the way, before leaping directly to the top of the valley.
Then came the sounds of weapons clashing and fighting, but they quickly turned into screams, and after a while, everything fell silent.
At this moment, King Liang had already arrived at the carriage where Zu An was. He pushed open the carriage door, and Zu An and Zheng Dan sat upright at one end.
Seeing that Zu'an was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief. If something had happened to that guy, the Emperor would have been in serious trouble.
He suddenly noticed Zheng Dan standing to the side and thought to himself that the Sang family had found a good daughter-in-law; she was truly more beautiful than any flower.
But why is her face so red?
Just as he was about to ask, Liu Yao flew down from above, carrying several prisoners in his hands. Judging from their terrified appearance, they had obviously just been frightened.
"Who are you? Who sent you?" King Liang asked hurriedly.
The pressure from a Grandmaster was immense; the group immediately lost their composure and stammered, "We're from Black Wind Stronghold. Because Zu An killed our leader, Chen Xuan, we're having a really tough time now. We heard he was being escorted through the area, and a bunch of us brothers were clamoring for revenge, so we set this trap. Who knew you...you guys were so powerful..."
"Black Wind Stronghold?" King Liang was taken aback. Someone had already whispered in his ear about the origins of Black Wind Stronghold.
"With your cultivation level, how dare you openly attack the Imperial Guards?" Liu Yao, who was standing to the side, was amused. In the previous exchange, there were not many fourth-rank cultivators.
"They didn't seem this powerful when we fought the government troops before," the group replied hastily. Back then, with their leader in charge, they could always make the government troops of Bright Moon City suffer. Who knew that after their leader left, they would end up in such a miserable state.
