Chapter 1743: 852 The Twin Killers of Charming Tang! (Third Update)
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 erged 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, nad 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 ca from behind, followed by a rough laugh from a man: “Ha! Jie Zhoutian! It’s just a re 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 n nearly ran their horses to death but couldn’t catch them, so I ca 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.
Jie Zhoutian ignored his mockery and said lightly: “They entered Ghost Mountain; they can’t possibly co out alive.”
Min Hongyi mocked: “I don’t believe in that; I just believe that the living should be seen and the dead must have bodies! If you don’t dare pursue them, I will! n, co on!”
“General Min!”
A group of subordinates saluted in unison.
Min Hongyi shouted: “Follow into Ghost Mountain!”
The crowd responded in unison: “Yes! General Min!”
Min Hongyi smiled in satisfaction and showed a bit of smugness to Jie Zhoutian: “See that? This is the real sons of Dajin. Your n are good for nothing but sneaky deeds. When it cos to real tasks, they’re entirely unreliable!”
Jie Zhoutian said flatly: “Don’t speak too early; even the lord didn’t plan to forcibly enter Ghost Mountain. Don’t let your anger with cost the lives of yourself and your officers!”
“Hmph! You go ahead and be a coward yourself! I’m going to catch the assassins!”
With that, Min Hongyi led five hundred soldiers grandly into Ghost Mountain.
…
After passing through the valley, Gu Jiao and Tang Yueshan entered a dense forest.
The sky gradually darkened, and occasional cawing of crows ca from above.
Sitting on the horseback, Tang Yueshan shivered as he looked around and whispered, “Girl, do you feel it’s creepy?”
“No,” Gu Jiao looked at the woodland scenery around.
Here… it feels very familiar.
“Are you afraid of ghosts?” Gu Jiao asked.
Tang Yueshan scoffed and said, “How could I be? I, the grand commander…”
Gu Jiao blinked her eyes and pointed ahead: “Ah! A ghost!”
“Whoa!” Tang Yueshan jumped onto Gu Jiao’s horse.
Gu Jiao: “…”
Hei Fengwang: “…”
