Dozens of men in black were galloping on the official road. When they saw Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing's carriage, they pulled the reins of their horses. They had to be traitors to be dragging so many things in the middle of the night. The leader of the men in black pointed his knife at Xiao Zeyu and said,
"What's in the car?"
Xiao Zeyu calmly asked, "Who are you?"
"Kill them all."
Seeing Xiao Zeyu not only not answering but also asking him questions, the black-clothed man lost his patience. He waved at his subordinates behind him and ordered them to kill Su Qing, Xiao Zeyu, and Zhou Bo.
After giving the order, he no longer looked at Xiao Zeyu. In his eyes, these three people were already dead. He then sent two more subordinates to check on the eight carriages:
"Go and see what's in the carriage."
