Tang Yueshan felt like he was flying!
The first wave of Dajin soldiers was far behind him, but the continuous intercepting troops followed the signal of the whistle along the way.
Hei Fengwang scattered group after group, leaving wave after wave behind!
Leading the charge, with fearless majesty!
As they entered a valley, Jie Zhoutian suddenly emerged from a small path and attacked!
This guy took a shortcut to chase after them!
The temples of Tang Yueshan throbbed!
Seeing they were about to collide, Hei Fengwang suddenly accelerated, raised its front hooves, and bravely and domineeringly leaped over Jie Zhoutian’s head!
Jie Zhoutian’s large knife swung horizontally and missed.
Tang Yueshan’s Hei Fengqi took advantage of the surprise and whizzed past him!
Jie Zhoutian tightened the reins, frowned at the warhorse that amazingly dodged his strike, unable to believe it was true.
The warhorse was simply too exceptional!
Really wanted to snatch it to offer to the lord!
Unfortunately—
"General, should we pursue them?" a soldier asked.
Jie Zhoutian looked at the silhouettes of the two gradually disappearing into the valley and said faintly, "No need to pursue, up ahead is Ghost Mountain."
Ghost Mountain is a forbidden territory of Pu City, named for frequent ghostly disturbances. It is said that no one who steps foot on Ghost Mountain ever returns alive.
Suddenly, a rapid sound of hoofbeats came from behind, followed by a rough laugh from a man: "Ha! Jie Zhoutian! It’s just a mere small mountain, and you, as the lord’s foremost general, actually believe in ghost tales?"
Jie Zhoutian turned his head, frowned, and glanced at him: "Min Hongyi, didn’t you go with the lord to the military camp?"
Min Hongyi arrogantly chuckled: "Just returned, heard there were two crafty thieves in the city. Your men nearly ran their horses to death but couldn’t catch them, so I came to help you!"
Though the two are close aides of Gongsun Yu, they’ve always been in contention for the first position, and neither accepts the other.
