Wang Tiedan knew that Zhong Cheng was trying to comfort him, and now was indeed not the time to be pretentious.

He glanced at Zhong Cheng one last time, and after silently saying "big brother" in his heart, he rushed out of the assassin's circle with tears in his eyes.

Wang Tiedan was not the main target of this group of assassins. Seeing him fleeing, the assassins did not allocate any manpower to hunt him down.

Instead, all the firepower was focused on Zhong Cheng.

The guards around him were all injured, and it looked like they were going to continue fighting like this.

Then all of them would die at the hands of these assassins.

Zhong Cheng gritted his teeth and continued to fight with these people, but his strength was exhausted and he gradually couldn't keep up.

His arms and back were also stabbed several times in the chaos.

"You all retreat and find a way to join Zhong Buli and the others."

Zhong Cheng shouted at the guards.

Zhong Buli and the others were not here today, otherwise he would not have been beaten to such a miserable state by these people.

The guards obeyed Zhong Cheng's orders unconditionally. One by one, they gradually broke away from the battle circle and escaped unharmed.

Seeing the helpless Zhong Cheng, this was exactly what these assassins wanted. They thought that taking Zhong Cheng's life was a certainty.

They all stepped forward with swords in hand, preparing to give Zhong Cheng a fatal blow.

When they thought Zhong Cheng would carry it with his sword, Zhong Cheng didn't even move his hands.

He focused all his attention on the kung fu of his feet. When the swords of the assassins were about to fall, he stepped on the sword of one of them. Then, with the help of the sword, he kicked his feet, performed a spinning flying kick, and stepped straight on. Hit the man in the head.

All the assassins' swords were empty, and he took advantage of this gap to leave this place.

Although Zhong Cheng got a chance to breathe temporarily, the assassins behind him were not vegetarians. Seeing him running away, they all moved forward to pursue him with all their strength.

Zhong Cheng was already injured, and it was a bit difficult to escape now, especially since he didn't know how deep the knife wound on his back was.

He only felt that the clothes on his back were soaked with blood. If he moved a little wider, the wound would be stretched and painful.

As he ran, his movements became slower and slower, and he gradually lost his sense of direction.

He only knew that he had to keep running forward. As long as he was still breathing, he had to run forward to have a way out.

There was no one on the streets on a summer night. The scene in front of Zhong Cheng became increasingly blurry, and all he could hear in his ears was the sound of wind.

"Qinan, silly boss, I seem to be breaking my appointment..."

Zhong Cheng raised his head with great difficulty and glanced at the moon in the sky. He twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he saw Qinan's figure in the moonlight.

In just a moment, his tall and straight body suddenly collapsed, and he fell straight to the ground.

He closed his eyelids feebly, and Zhong Cheng knew that he was really going to risk his life here this time.

Not only was he seriously injured, but now he suffered from the ailment of fainting and stiffness, and there were assassins chasing him behind him.

Now he can't escape even if he grows another pair of wings.

At this time, another group of people appeared on the other side of the street.

"Master, if you come out so late, are you sure you can find Miss Qi?"

"You have to look for it if you can't find it! The recipe she sold me contains two spices that you can't buy here, and the taste of the forced preparation is completely different. If I don't get some good food to eat, you will I’m afraid you won’t be able to see me again in the future.”

What Shi Yao said was not an exaggeration. In the past few months, he had lost his appetite every day, and the food he ate was only forced on himself. Every time he had a meal, he felt as if he was going to the execution ground. torture.

That's why he returned to Liangcheng to find Qinan. He finally found Qinan and got the food recipe as he wished, but he didn't expect to get stuck on the seasoning level again.

God, why are you so cruel? I just want to have a good meal!

Shi Yao couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so he took his servants and guards out of the house while holding in his hunger.

The direction they headed was exactly the inn where Qinan had stayed before.

"Sir..." The boy was holding a lantern to lead the way, and suddenly he felt something dark lying on the road ahead.

When walking at night, what scares you most is these strange phenomena. Most of the people in Daqi believe in ghosts and gods. The young man holding a lantern saw the thing with trepidation.

I was mentally prepared to be scared to death later.

Shi Ya also noticed something was wrong in front of him. "What's wrong? What did you see?"

"It's a person. Young Master, there is a person lying here. I don't know if he is still alive."

The boy only dared to take a brief look, and saw that the man on the ground was covered in blood, with several large wounds on his back that showed bone. His face was pressed to the ground and he could not see his exact appearance.

He didn't dare to touch Zhong Cheng who was on the ground, and was about to suggest that Shi Yao and the others should go around to prevent them from passing by him and causing bad luck.

But he saw that his young master had already stepped forward with a frown on his face to check on this person.

Shi Yao originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business and delay his time to find Qinan.

But when he stood far away, he felt that this person looked familiar for some reason.

In the end, I still respected my heart and stepped forward to find out.

He dragged Zhong Cheng up from the ground and turned him over so that he was face up. The night was too dark. At this moment, Zhong Cheng's blood and hair were stuck to his face. For a while, Shi Yao didn't acknowledge him. come out.

He held Zhong Cheng's body with one hand and stretched his other hand to the tip of his nose to test his breath.

After noticing the slightly warm breath coming from his fingertips, Shi Yao ordered the boy, "This man is still alive. When the hospital opens later, let someone send him for treatment. We'll see if he can survive." His creation.”

"Yes, son."

The boy was about to take Zhong Cheng from Shi Yu, when the dim light of the lantern hit Zhong Cheng's arm. Shi Yu glanced over and saw a birthmark on the inside of his arm, and he froze in place. .

"Wait a minute!"

"What's the matter, sir?"

The boy was confused and thought it was Shi Yao who was dissatisfied with his way of saving people.

"You shine the lantern closer. I want to see the birthmark on his hand."

"Yes."

The boy put the lantern on the ground, and most of the light shone on Zhong Cheng's left arm with the birthmark.

Shi Yu studied the birthmark for a long time, saying nothing during the whole process, which made the boy nervous.

He didn't understand why his young master was grabbing a strange man's arm and looking around.

Moreover, they were delayed in finding Miss Qi. The young master will probably be hungry all night again tonight.
