As soon as Li Yu entered the backyard, he saw Xiao Hei lying on its back, snoring and sleeping soundly, completely oblivious to everything outside. It didn't even react when someone came in.
But the pile of hay next to Xiao Hei was clearly untouched, indicating that it hadn't eaten a single bite.
Looking behind Xiao Hei, there was a large piece of roasted beast meat specially cooked and seasoned for it, indicating that the people of the Seventh Regiment were taking very good care of it.
This period of leisurely life made Xiao Hei look extremely comfortable.
"Still sleeping! Get up and get to work."
Li Yu stepped forward and kicked the horse's rump with just the right amount of force.
Startled awake, Little Black opened its eyes a crack and, still half-asleep, saw that the person who came was Li Yu. Only then did it reluctantly wag its tail and stand up.
Li Yu stepped forward and patted Xiao Hei's round belly, unable to help but frown: "How did you get so fat?"
"Hiss!" Little Black immediately protested with a hiss, thinking that being a little chubby wasn't so bad.
Lu Fan, following Li Yu, looked at the glossy-coated, bright-eyed black horse with a strange expression: "An evolved species?"
"Transportation." Li Yu mounted his horse, spurring it on with his legs: "Let's go!"
"Hiss~ ~ ???"
Upon hearing Li Yu's words, Little Black under his crotch stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
The round body seemed to freeze, remaining motionless for a long time, and the horse's face showed a human-like expression of shock.
Li Yu used to affectionately call it 'partner,' so how did it suddenly become a means of transportation?
Lu Fan was somewhat surprised by Xiao Hei's reaction. He thought to himself that Li Yu's horse seemed quite special. Not only was it an evolved creature, but it also seemed to be very intelligent and possessed considerable wisdom.
No wonder Li Yu always rode it wherever he went, even after he became a Star Lord.
Although there were various means of transportation and horses in Qingcheng when Lu Fan left, he did not need them.
For Lu Fan, these things sometimes even become a burden on his actions.
Moreover, with his speed and stamina, he's really not slower than Xiao Hei.
Li Yu and Lu Fan then found Li Yang and explained the situation to him truthfully.
"A gathering of Star Lords?" Upon hearing this, a knowing glint flashed in Li Yang's eyes, and he patted his chest to assure him:
"Rest assured, my two star lords, leave everything to me."
At the same time, a rare feeling of joy rose in Li Yang's heart.
At this moment, he realized that his efforts over the past few days had not been in vain, and he had basically gained the trust of the two star lords, otherwise they would not have told him such an important matter that was unrelated to him.
After bidding farewell to Liyang, Li Yu and Lu Fan left Yangcheng and headed to Tiancheng to attend the first Star Lord Gathering.
Outside the city gate of Yangcheng, Lu Fan leaped high into the air a few times, his entire body crackling with electricity. He turned to look at Li Yu, who was riding a horse beside him: "Ready?"
"Hiss~" Yellow electricity flickered on Xiao Hei's hooves as it pawed at the ground.
"Let's go!" As soon as Li Yu spoke, Xiao Hei rushed out first.
Seeing this, Lu Fan smiled and immediately ran out to catch up.
The two moved extremely fast, disappearing into the torrential rain in the blink of an eye.
Li Yang, who had personally escorted the two out of the city, stood on the city wall with his hands behind his back, exuding an extremely calm aura, completely different from his enthusiastic demeanor just now.
Only after Li Yu and Lu Fan's figures completely disappeared into the horizon did Li Yang silently turn and leave.
......
Yangshiya is located 70 miles away from Yangcheng.
The scorched earth was scarred and devastated, as if it had survived an apocalyptic catastrophe.
Even with torrential rain constantly washing over the land, it could never change the dark color of the land scorched by lightning.
In the calm sky, a man suddenly flew in like a gust of wind, his figure appearing particularly lonely and aloof in the rain.
Then the man descended from the sky, slowly landing on the scorched ground.
My gaze swept over the deep pits, and all around was silent except for the sound of rain falling on the scorched puddles.
The air was thick with the smell of burning, mixed with the dampness of rain, enough to make an ordinary person feel suffocated.
The man rushed over without stopping after Zhou Xuan and the rest of the military disappeared yesterday.
He was the special investigator personally dispatched by General Zhou Zhenbei of the military to investigate the disappearance case.
As the superpower was activated, a fierce glint flashed in the investigator's eyes.
“They’re all really dead!” The investigator’s voice was low and suppressed.
He could clearly sense the dense aura of death around him, which meant that Zhou Xuan and everyone in the military had perished here.
"How dare you!" The investigator was both shocked and furious.
When the general sent him to investigate, he thought the general was testing his adaptability. After all, how could anyone dare to launch such a crazy attack on the military in Zhongzhou?
The investigators never expected that someone would actually dare to attack the military, and that the methods used would be so ruthless and cruel that not a single person was left alive, and even the bodies were completely destroyed.
To be able to do this, it is clear that it was an organized, premeditated, and meticulously planned ambush and sneak attack.
Someone must have set up an encirclement beforehand to annihilate Zhou Xuan and his group, which is why they were able to do it so cleanly and without leaving a trace.
This is utterly disregarding the laws of Zhongzhou and is a slap in the face to the military and the general!
The investigator felt a shiver run down his spine as he thought of the general's cold gaze, a sense of fear rising within him.
Immediately afterwards, the investigator trembled with excitement over the major case, and a hint of madness appeared in his eyes.
Even if it costs him his superpowers, he is determined to find the murderer and bring him to justice!
