Yusui Chang'an

The leader glanced at Liang Zechuan and felt that his hypocritical behavior was more and more disgusting. When he was about to take action, his companion who was in charge of keeping watch came at full speed. Without waiting for the horse to stop completely, he jumped off the horse and reported:
"Master, five or six people are coming this way, saying they want to rescue him. Judging from their direction, they are following him from the post station. The two of them can't hold them back for long. To avoid any complications, you should take him away first."

The leader's eyes were as cold as ice:
"No wonder Prince Kang behaved like this, it was just a delaying tactic."

Without looking at Liang Zechuan's surprised expression, the leader took out the medicine bottle in his arms, raised his foot and kicked Liang Zechuan in the chest, causing him to cry out in pain. He then took the opportunity to pinch his chin, poured out a pill and threw it into his mouth.

Then he lifted Liang Zechuan's chin and forced him to swallow the medicine roughly.

Liang Zechuan was choked and coughed repeatedly. Before he could recover, the man in black grabbed him by the collar and stood up. He was pushed to the side of the horse. Just as he was about to mount the horse, a short arrow shot from behind at the feet of the man in black:

"Let go of Prince Kang!"

The archer came riding a horse at full speed, and the sound arrived before he arrived. He left his companions to fight with the two men in black, and rushed forward on his horse, leaving a cloud of dust.

When the short arrows were shot, the men in black formed a circle and protected the leader and Liang Zechuan in the middle.

When the archer was ten steps away from the crowd, he dismounted. The leader looked at the newcomer from behind the crowd through the light of the torch:

He was wearing coarse clothes, had a slight limp in his right leg, was tall and strong, and his face was covered with a black scarf so his expression could not be seen, but his eyes showed only worry and no fear.

The archer aimed his miniature crossbow at the man in black, and leaned over to look at the figure behind the crowd. His voice was a little hoarse:

"Prince Kang? Are you okay? Everyone, if you kill someone in Tianchu territory, your old Emperor Yeliang may not be able to protect you."

Liang Zechuan coughed violently for a long time, and there was blood at the corners of his mouth. Just as he recovered his breath, he saw the archer dismounting and approaching:
"I... cough cough... I'm fine, why did you come out? They are our own people... cough cough, stop it cough cough cough..."

The archer glanced at the crowd, his eyes hesitant:
They are our own people. How can anyone want to kill his own people?

Leader: "From your voice, you don't seem to be from Yeliang..."

"Lingyun Crossbow... Why do you have a Lingyun Crossbow?!" The leader was interrupted by his companion in black before he could finish his words. Hearing the sound, he looked at the crossbow in the hand of the archer and his pupils shrank sharply.

The archer and Liang Zechuan were both shocked.

Archer: "Who are you? Why do you know Lingyun Crossbow?"

Man in black: "Take off your veil and let me see."

Seeing that the archer was hesitant, the man in black drew out his sword, turned around and put the sword on Liang Zechuan's neck, his voice was anxious and nervous:
"Did you take off the veil, or did I take off his head?!"

Seeing the blade cut Liang Zechuan's skin, the archer gritted his teeth and slowly took off his mask, revealing a face that was half burned.

The black-clothed man's hand holding the knife dropped helplessly in disbelief:

"Ling Ni...you are still alive..."

Not only the man in black holding the knife, but also the leader and other men in black were all stunned with surprise when they saw the man shooting the arrows.

The man in black who was holding Liang Zechuan had tears in his eyes:

"Second brother..."

When Liang Zechuan heard the voices of Ling Ni and Second Brother, he turned around in shock. Before he saw anyone, he was knocked unconscious by the leader's palm.

The archer ignored Liang Zechuan who was lying on the ground. He walked forward slowly and looked at the man in black who called him with wide eyes:
"What did you call me..." (End of this chapter)
