"We'll head east from Xuzhong County, and if nothing unexpected happens, we'll enter Southern Zhou from the direction of Yunmeng City."

Seeing that Yang Qingzhi remained silent and did not respond, Zuo Zhu suggested, "Should we send someone to Yun Jing to pick them up?"

Yang Qingzhi said, "Send someone to the Champion King's camp to tell him this news and put him in charge of Zhou Jinghuan's safety in Yun Jing County."

Zuo Zhu asked doubtfully, "The Champion King is in charge of the Prince's safety? Little Governor, I...did I hear that right?"

"Zuo Zhu, don't be so rigid in your thinking. When you encounter anything that doesn't make sense, don't question it first, but think about whether it's possible."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Zhu immediately knelt down, his expression somewhat agitated.

When Yang Qingzhi said these words to him, it was to offer guidance.

It is a manifestation of valuing or respecting someone.

Yang Qingzhi continued, "Zhou Jinghuan, as an envoy of Southern Zhou, negotiated a marriage alliance with Jingguo. This is a very important matter for Southern Zhou, but it is even more important for Jingguo. Jingguo will be more worried about his safety than we are. In fact, even if we did not send anyone to inform the Champion King, the Champion King would know through his spies after Zhou Jinghuan entered Yun Jing, and would naturally arrange for people to protect him secretly along the way. But the fact that we informed him shows that Southern Zhou attaches great importance to this marriage alliance."

"This is our stance."

"When two countries interact, even if they secretly deceive and fight to the death, their attitude is of utmost importance."

Zuo Zhu clasped his hands together with a loud thud and said loudly, "Your subordinate understands!"

Yang Qingzhi nodded and asked, "Any news about Yu Beipiao and Chen Chong?"

Zuo Zhu's expression changed slightly.

Yang Qingzhi noticed Zuo Zhu's expression, stopped feeding the cat, walked over to him, and said, "Speak."

Zuo Zhu slowly lowered his head and said, "The two of them failed to intercept Zhao Cheng... and were killed!"

Yang Qingzhi's expression changed drastically.

"What?!!"
