Start a mysterious island

"Third brother, stop crying. What's going on? Tell me quickly!" shouted the irritable bald man.

"Second brother, this is what happened... Everything was going according to our original plan... Our group hid in the ambush location and successfully blocked the breakout Miss Zhu family and her group on the road.

We were about to take her down right now, but we never thought, woo hoo... there's a nosy guy on the road... He's very powerful, and he'll take us..."

The third thief was crying as he told his companions what happened in detail, but he deleted the story about how he betrayed his companions in order to escape successfully.

"..."

After listening to the story of the third thief, all the thieves who were happily thinking about money and women now have cold faces, as stiff as a pool of stagnant water.

"call……"

"Shashasha..."

A gust of wind suddenly blew across the bank of the stream, making the trees on both sides make a sound.

"You bastard... dare to ruin our good deeds. I will find that hateful guy and cut him to death."

The scarred-faced man who had been silent for a long time suddenly let out a loud shout. His angry voice actually covered up the sound of the trees on both sides of the bank being blown by the wind.

"Brother, are we going to Dongwu City next to look for the boy who ruined our good deeds?" asked a thief.

After venting his anger, the scarred-faced man took a few deep breaths. After his emotions calmed down, he said to the thieves present.

"Everyone has worked hard today. Let's go back to the village to rest for the night. Tomorrow we will go to Dongwu City to look for the boy who ruined our lives."

The gang of thieves, who saw the duck flying away, suppressed the anger in their hearts and nodded one after another after listening to the scarred man's words.

Afterwards, the group of thieves left the creek and headed for the cottage they built in the wild mountains.

Ahead is Dongwu City.

On the vast plain, a sparkling river flows through the plain.

Next to the river sits a huge square city. The city is made of blue bricks and has blue walls that are tens of meters high, giving people a majestic feeling.

On the city wall, at regular intervals, there would be a burly guard wearing armor and holding a spear standing guard.

In some key locations, there are also racks of giant crossbows placed. It is said that these giant crossbows are spiritual weapons forged by highly skilled forgers.

Moreover, the power of these giant spiritual weapon crossbows is astonishing. Every time a special arrow is fired, even an alien beast with a second-level peak cultivation level will be killed on the spot if it is hit.

Half of the sun's face has disappeared into the horizon, and the blue sky has been dyed bright red by the setting sun.

The red clouds were reflected on the river flowing through Dongwucheng. The entire water surface turned red, and the sky seemed to be on fire.

At the gate of the west gate of Dongwu City, a group of people on horseback looked into the distance.

The leader was a slender, handsome man wearing gorgeous brocade clothes.

He frowned and looked into the distance. At this time, he asked the person next to him, "Xiao Liu, did you get the wrong news?"

"Master, today is indeed the date for Miss Zhu and her party to return to Dongwu City. I have confirmed this news many times." The servant named Xiaoliu replied respectfully.

After Zhou Tianci heard the servant's answer, he continued to wait patiently.

After a while.

A motorcade appeared in the distance, slowly approaching the west gate of Dongwu City.

"Master, here we come. I recognize that carriage. It's Miss Zhu and the others. Let's go up and greet them!" Servant Xiao Liu saw the carriage in the distance and said excitedly to Zhou Tianci beside him.

"You really are the emperor who is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is in a hurry! The more times like this, the more calm you have to be, and you must not show any urgency..."

The moment he saw the carriage appear, Zhou Tianci subconsciously wanted to ride up to meet it.

However, he quickly calmed himself down, because a good friend of his once taught him not to be too eager when pursuing a girl.

"Yes, yes, what the young master taught you is..." Servant Xiao Liu quickly nodded and admitted his mistake.

…

When the convoy of Zhu Xinru and his party stopped at the huge gate of Dongwu City.

Zhou Tianci immediately led his servants to meet the guard captain Liu Jie. He looked at the blood-stained guards with a surprised look on his face, "Guard Liu, what are you...?"

"Hello, Master Zhou... I met a group of thieves on my way back just now." Liu Jie, the guard captain, knew Zhou Tianci and explained.

"What?!!! You actually met a thief... Is Miss Zhu okay?" Zhou Tianci said, looking nervously at the car.

"Miss, she is fine. Thank you, Master Zhou, for your concern," said the guard captain Liu Jie.

Hearing Liu Jie say that Zhu Xinru was fine, Zhou Tianci suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to ride his horse to the carriage and greet Zhu Xinru in the carriage.

He saw the door curtain of the carriage being opened, and then a handsome-looking strange man walked out of the carriage.

Lin Li, who had hitched a ride, saw that he had arrived at his destination, so he got out of the carriage and jumped off the carriage.

"Everyone, let's say goodbye and see you again in the future." Lin Li smiled at the Zhu family.

"Mr. Lin, if you need help from our Zhu family in the future, you can come to the Zhu family to see me at any time."

The beautiful Zhu Xinru first reached out to the curtains of the car window and said to Lin Li who was about to leave.

"Okay." Team Lin Li Zhu Xinru nodded, and then walked towards the huge arched city gate in front.

"Who...who is this person? Why did he come out of Miss Zhu's car?"

Zhou Tianci had never ridden a carriage with Zhu Xinru before. Now that he saw a strange man taking a step ahead of him and coexisting with his sweetheart in a small carriage, a ball of anger suddenly ignited in his heart.

Guard captain Liu Jie was about to explain, but at this moment, he heard Zhu Xinru say, "Guard Liu, let's go home quickly! I'm a little tired."

"Okay, miss." Liu Jie, the guard captain, immediately called to his companions and escorted the carriage quickly into the city to the location of the Zhu family's mansion.

"Master, why don't you go up and say hello to Miss Zhu?" The servant Xiao Liu glanced at the Zhu family's motorcade leaving, and asked in a low voice to Zhou Tianci, who looked a little ugly.

"Damn it, I'm not in the mood to say hello to Miss Zhu right now... Come with me and chase the strange man who came out of the carriage just now."
