"Escaped?"
"Just escaped?"
Chen Ji stood stunned among the ox-carts.
When he heard the names "Daozi" and "Chongzi", he was certain these men were Er Dao and Brother Pao, because as he was dying, Brother Pao had introduced himself, "My real name is Chen Chong, and my friends like to call me Brother Pao."
Chen Chong.
Chongzi.
It couldn't be a coincidence.
But Chen Ji never expected that Brother Pao would escape so cleanly.
In the cold wind, Chen Ji suddenly shouted, "Zaozao!"
The sound of horseshoes came from the stable. Liang, the escort leader, turned his head in surprise only to see Second Miss Zhang's chestnut horse, with its reins in its mouth, gracefully jumping out of the stable's fence and stopping beside Chen Ji.
The mystical horse breathed out in the cold night like two white arrows. It lowered its head and released the reins from its mouth into Chen Ji's hand.
