Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

"What!" Prince Wu's eyes widened in fury: "How could he escape alone?!"

The guard finally ran to Prince Wu, his face filled with terror: "He... he smashed the door directly, killed two people with his bare hands, and stole their swords and helmets... He cut his way out! Your Majesty... he... uses two swords, he's too fast, no one can stop him."

"He... he should have rushed out of the ship by now!"

The guard recounted the events, trembling, the scene he had just witnessed filling him with dread.

That naked man wielded his twin swords so tightly that he seemed to be surrounded by countless blades of light! Everywhere he went, blood splattered, leaving only corpses... No one could stop him!

If he hadn't been far away and seized the opportunity to run, he would have been lying dead on the spot...

Prince Wu suddenly reacted, his gaze turning fiercely towards Fang Zheng: "Fang Qing... accompany me to the deck!"

"Um..." Fang Zheng felt uneasy and couldn't help but worry about Zhou Tie.

Prince Wu's reaction was within his expectations.

As Prince Wu quickly rushed to the deck, looking at the situation below, Fang Zheng became increasingly nervous.

On the deck, a row of archers were still frantically shooting arrows downwards.

And in front of the coast, that naked figure was galloping away on horseback!

Under the rapid riding, Zhou Tie bent over, stepping on the stirrups, his upper body in a half-squat on the horse's back, his date-filled steamed bun blatantly exposed, constantly swaying up and down.

Fang Zheng was secretly shocked, cursing inwardly!

Idiot! Aren't you making yourself a moving target by sticking your butt out like that?! With a bullseye!

Aren't you just asking people to shoot for the ten ring?!

Fortunately, Zhou Tie also realized this problem!

The next second, he sat up straight!

His hairy legs frantically kicked the horse's belly.

The archers were not without success; in a short while, three arrows hit Zhou Tie's back, but fortunately, the soft armor was of excellent quality and did not penetrate.

Two more arrows hit the horse's buttocks, but fortunately, the horse ran even faster because of it.

Besides that, seven or eight people were chasing after him relentlessly on horseback.

Zhao Lie and the others on the other side also noticed the problem.

"Brother Tie has escaped! Quickly send someone to meet him!"

Zhao Lie, without putting down his telescope, raised his hand to stop them: "No! Wait a moment!"

"He ran in another direction. He must have heard last night's signal. Brother Tie deliberately chose another direction."

"There are only eight people chasing him. The enemy has no reinforcements. Let the brothers be vigilant and don't act rashly."

"Those eight people are dead... Brother Tie should come to join us in a while."

Zhou Tie seemed safe, Zhao Lie turned his gaze to the deck, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly, someone beside him said: "Why isn't Instructor Zhou wearing pants? Hehe, he's quite fair-skinned!"

"Don't worry about those details."

Seeing Zhou Tie's figure disappear into the forest, Fang Zheng finally relaxed.

Since they didn't send more people to chase him, and his own people were there, Zhou Tie was skilled and shouldn't have any major problems.

But he hadn't been relaxed for long when his heart jumped again!

Zhou Tie succeeded! The next wave would depend on him.

Seeing Zhou Tie's successful escape, Prince Wu's eyes flashed with anger as he looked at Fang Zheng coldly: "Fang Qing, has your man abandoned you?"

Fang Zheng didn't dare to relax, secretly pinching his thigh hard!

The intense pain made his face turn pale, and he said dejectedly: "Yes... that traitor! I just told him today to go overseas with me to serve Your Majesty! That damned bastard actually ran away by himself!"

"Your Majesty, he is my man... the crime should naturally be counted on my head. Please punish me, Your Majesty..."

Because he pinched his thigh too hard, cold sweat even began to slide down Fang Zheng's forehead.

Prince Wu calmly observed his expression, seeing his bloodless face and terrified appearance, he suddenly sighed: "Fang Qing, I don't blame you. It's your misfortune to encounter such a villain. Go back and rest first."

"Your Majesty, can I change rooms? I don't feel comfortable living in the original room."

"You may go."

After Fang Zheng left the deck, Chen Jian, who had been by Prince Wu's side, said: "Your Majesty, will there be a problem with Fang Zheng?"

"I feel something is wrong. Find more people and keep an eye on him. Don't let him escape."

"Your Majesty, why don't we set sail now and leave this place?" Chen Jian asked.

Prince Wu frowned: "Fang Zheng is untrustworthy. It's impossible that the two thousand soldiers I left in the capital didn't gain anything... But I also feel uneasy. It's possible that the hostage who escaped went back to report. Eight people are enough to chase him! Let's wait another day and leave here early tomorrow morning! Send more people to guard the cabin doors and watch Fang Zheng!"

......

Near the forest, the intermittent chirping of birds continued.

Zhou Tie carried his twin swords, his body covered in blood, and ran wildly through the forest, successfully finding his own people by following the direction of the bird whistle.

Fortunately, he had just killed a few pursuers and put on his pants.

As soon as he appeared, Zhao Lie immediately greeted him, anxiously saying: "Brother Tie! How are you? Where are the pursuers?"

"They're all dead. Did you bring the flying thunder cannons?"

"They're all buried and aimed at the big ship!"

Zhou Tie nodded with a smile: "Good! Very good, it seems I didn't teach you guys for nothing. Wait... wait for me to catch my breath, Master needs time to adjust too."

"Brother Tie, what exactly happened! Who kidnapped Master, and why did they kidnap him?"

Zhou Tie sighed: "It's Prince Wu. Master didn't tell me why he wanted to kidnap him! But that guy must have something in mind. He raised so many private soldiers, which is tantamount to rebellion! He's preparing to run away overseas!"

"Brother Tie, weren't you always with Master? How could he be kidnapped in the city? And why did you come out naked just now?"

Zhao Lie's barrage of questions touched Zhou Tie's shame.

Zhou Tie chuckled twice: "Haha, actually, I had already discovered that someone was plotting against Master! But I didn't expect these people to be so despicable, actually setting up a scheme to kidnap Master!"

"At that time, I accompanied Master to investigate a case and collect evidence, and we were surrounded by a group of people, but dealing with that group of people was naturally as easy as chopping melons and vegetables for me! But Master couldn't do it, he was already being held at knifepoint. At that time, I could only outsmart them, not attack them head-on! So I pretended to be no match and deliberately let them capture me, first to protect Master, and second to investigate the real culprit!"

More and more people gathered to listen to Zhou Tie's explanation, and many people's eyes showed admiration.

Zhou Tie continued to talk eloquently: "Sure enough, I caught Prince Wu, the mastermind behind the scenes! That Prince Wu is also an extremely clever person, seeing that I was setting up a trap, so he personally untied me on the ship and wanted to win me over, promising me high-ranking positions and generous rewards!"

"What's even more shameless is that Prince Wu even wanted to take me as his son-in-law, insisting on marrying his daughter to me! How could I not know his hypocrisy, and how could I betray Master? So I pretended to accept! Just this morning, I just got married to his daughter, and during the wedding night, I took advantage of everyone's carelessness to fight my way out! That's why I didn't have time to put on my pants, that's the whole story!"

The teammates exclaimed in amazement, completely unaware of the many loopholes in Zhou Tie's words.

Zhao Lie even looked envious.

Talented people really have it easy everywhere! He even got a wife after being kidnapped.

"Brother Tie, awesome!!"

"Brother Tie is awesome!!"

Zhou Tie raised his chin and smiled triumphantly: "You still have a lot to learn! Alright! Be serious, load the explosives and prepare to bombard the ship!"
