Chapter 334

~8 min read 1,433 words

Amidst the endless yellow sand, a team of cavalry was galloping.

Wearing a hood and veil, Zhang Cheng stopped on a hill.

Coming behind Zhang Cheng, Ding Xiu spoke: "Any further forward, and we'll be outside the pass!"

"Even outside the pass, we must pursue!"

Speaking indifferently, Zhang Cheng exhaled a breath of turbid air,

Because the wind and sand here were truly too great; one mouthful and your mouth was full of sand!

Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, Ding Xiu could not help but frown: "The Western Depot brought quite a few people!"

"Can they fight just because there are many of them? If there are many, I will... I will... run!"

Watching the warhorses galloping past below, Zhang Cheng fell silent for a moment,

Because the Western Depot really did bring a lot of people—a full two or three hundred. If they were caught, Zhao Huaian would have to beg the Heavens for help!

Letting the "Embroidered Uniform Guards" behind him disperse first, Zhang Cheng took Ding Xiu toward the Longmen Inn,

Because he was afraid that having too many people would reveal flaws.

Three days later, Longmen Inn,

"Bang, bang, bang!"

A knocking sound rang out, and Zhang Cheng and Ding Xiu arrived.

But after the two entered, the place seemed very lively.

Watching the Western Depot's second-in-command, Tan Luzi, competing with the Tatars, Zhang Cheng sat calmly to the side with Ding Xiu.

And just as the shopkeeper stepped forward to mediate, Zhang Cheng said leisurely: "Hey, shopkeeper, don't stop them. Wouldn't it be perfect if two of them were killed?"

"Hmm?"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Bu Ludu and the others, as well as Tan Luzi, all looked toward Zhang Cheng.

"What are you looking at? Never seen a bandit before?"

Taking out his own chopsticks, Zhang Cheng handed them to Ding Xiu.

Seeing that they were people who knew the rules, the shopkeeper smiled and said: "What would the guests like to order?"

"Plain noodles. If you add anything else, I'll cut off your hand and make you eat it yourself!"

Looking at the shopkeeper with a smile, Zhang Cheng was smiling happily, but the coldness in his eyes could not be hidden.

"Very well, guest!"

Leaving Zhang Cheng's side, the shopkeeper hurriedly gave instructions.

And just as Bu Ludu watched the shopkeeper leave, she immediately ordered Ha Gang to start cursing.

Hearing Ha Gang's words, how could Tan Luzi endure it? He immediately slammed the table and stood up, both sides preparing to fight again.

"Aren't you going to stop them?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with curiosity, Ding Xiu asked.

"They are fighting to the death, why would you go up and stop them? Are you bored?"

Looking at Ding Xiu with annoyance, Zhang Cheng complained,

Because eating noodles and watching a slaughter—isn't that nice?

Before long, just as the shopkeeper brought the noodles up, Zhang Cheng glanced at him and said: "Not bad, you are very sensible!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, the shopkeeper hurriedly retreated.

And just then, the main door was opened again. Watching the wind and sand blow into their bowls, Zhang Cheng and Ding Xiu were both dumbfounded.

Turning their heads, the two looked in the direction of the newcomers, immediately preparing to slam the table and fight.

It was no longer just the conflict between the Western Depot's Tan Luzi and Bu Ludu, but their own grudge against the newcomers.

"Are you damn blind? Can't you see I'm eating noodles? Pushing the door open and coming in—you're all blind!"

Pointing at the newcomers, Ding Xiu roared.

Hearing Ding Xiu's words, Gu Shaotang was also dumbfounded,

Because he hadn't even opened his mouth yet, and he was already scolded. What was going on?

"You just opened the door and got sand in all their noodles!"

Looking at Gu Shaotang awkwardly, Feng Lidao explained.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. How about I get the two of you a new bowl?"

Running up, the shopkeeper saw that another conflict was about to break out and was speechless.

Because Bu Ludu and the Western Depot people, Zhang Cheng and Gu Shaotang—they really gave him a massive headache!

But just as Tan Luzi intended to say something, Feng Lidao took off his bamboo hat.

And looking at Feng Lidao, not only were the Western Depot people shocked, but even Ding Xiu was stunned.

Because wasn't this damn Yu Huatian? How could he appear here in person!

Just as everyone was confused about the situation, Zhang Cheng signaled Ding Xiu not to panic, and then the two went straight upstairs without eating.

Arriving in the room, Ding Xiu looked at Zhang Cheng and said: "Yu Huatian? Isn't he at the inn behind us? How did he come here in person?"

"It's not Yu Huatian. The temperament is different; it's likely just a resemblance!"

Gazing at Ding Xiu, Zhang Cheng explained.

"In this world, there are two people so similar?" Looking at Zhang Cheng in disbelief, Ding Xiu was also surprised.

"Your junior brother can impersonate an Embroidered Uniform Guard, why can't he pretend to be Yu Huatian!"

Glancing at Ding Xiu, Zhang Cheng could not help but complain.

And after hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Ding Xiu fell silent. But the next second, he froze in place and said: "Then the Western Depot people, won't they misunderstand?"

"They'll likely be unlucky, because the two who came in later are a master thief and a con artist!"

Narrowing his eyes, Zhang Cheng's mouth curled into a smile.

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Ding Xiu asked suspiciously: "How do you know?"

"Guess why I said I was a bandit? That's because I really was one!"

Looking at Ding Xiu with annoyance, Zhang Cheng sat on the chair and said: "Wait for Heishuicheng to reveal itself, then kill them all!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, Ding Xiu was stunned: "Even Yu Huatian?"

"Yes, including Yu Huatian!"

Nodding seriously, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes.

The power of the Western Depot in Yu Huatian's hands was too great. He could not guarantee he could control the opponent, so the best way was to get rid of him!

But just as Zhang Cheng and Ding Xiu were discussing, the Tatars in the inn and Gu Shaotang were also discussing this matter,

Because like Zhang Cheng, they intended to eliminate everyone blocking their path.

Poor Yu Huatian thought he was the villain, but he didn't expect that he was only standing at the very bottom!

Zhang Cheng: Is the Western Depot's Yu Huatian a good fighter? I, Embroidered Uniform Guard Zhang Xinzhi, am also a good fighter!

Ding Xiu:...

Just like before, Feng Lidao came to Tan Luzi's room impersonating Yu Huatian.

However, because he hadn't investigated the identity clearly, Tan Luzi ended up revealing the intelligence.

Regarding this, Feng Lidao left feeling very satisfied.

But not long after Feng Lidao left, the Western Depot agents returned and told them that the Depot Superintendent was at the inn behind them.

Upon learning this news, Tan Luzi felt like killing someone at that moment,

Because as the Western Depot's second-in-command, he had not only been played by a con artist but had even leaked important information.

"The Western Depot didn't come for Heishuicheng, but for a palace maid named Su Huirong!"

Just as Feng Lidao and the others were discussing, Ling Yanqiu appeared with Su Huirong.

Seeing these two, everyone originally intended to attack, but chose to cancel because Zhao Huaian appeared.

Now everyone was waiting for the black storm to appear, to reveal the so-called Heishuicheng.

But just as Zhang Cheng was also waiting, he didn't expect the dishonorable Yu Huatian to choose to take the initiative,

Attacking the inn directly the next day.

Watching Yu Huatian's Western Depot army, Zhang Cheng was stunned,

Because his Krieg soldiers were still on standby; how was he supposed to play this?

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Arrows fell like rain, heading toward the inn.

Watching this scene, Ding Xiu turned his head and said: "Didn't you say Yu Huatian wouldn't make a move?"

"How the hell would I know this kid came from Mang Village!"

Complaining with annoyance, Zhang Cheng picked up a table and propped it against the window.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The table was pierced through. Zhang Cheng looked at the arrows before him and was stunned, because the Western Depot truly didn't intend to let anyone survive.

"Can we go out and surrender?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Ding Xiu asked.

"No! Too embarrassing!"

Gazing at Ding Xiu, Zhang Cheng roared with annoyance.
