If the Zhou family shows even the slightest mercy towards the child, they might spare the life of Marquis Pingyang, giving him the opportunity to rise up and drain the Zhou family dry.
That's what he was thinking.
But what happens next is likely to fall through...
In the darkness of night, a frail woman walked along the alleyway. She clutched her aching stomach, her face covered in cold sweat, her steps unsteady, yet she walked forward steadily, one step at a time.
"Cheng Gui Pavilion, seeking Cheng'er..."
"Cheng Gui Pavilion, seeking Cheng'er..."
Zhou Shiying had no way of knowing the news from the capital. She had only one belief in her mind: to find the branch of Cheng Gui Ge in Yan City, and then issue a mission to ask them to rescue Cheng'er.
Now that Father is trapped in Jiangling City, with no food or supplies to get through the winter, he certainly can't take care of Fourth Brother.
My second sister has always been gentle and mild-mannered, lacking assertiveness; I fear she may not even be able to protect herself.
Needless to say, the third sister is studying far away and probably hasn't even received news of the Zhou family's troubles.
She was Zhou Shiying of the Zhou family, and the eldest sister her fourth brother relied on most. She had let go of the things Lin Jiaoyun had done in the past; she didn't hold grudges. As long as her brother was safe, she didn't care about anything else...
"quick!"
"The Marquis said that the lady can't have escaped far."
"Search these alleys thoroughly, even if you have to turn the whole city upside down, find the lady!"
The voices of the Marquis's soldiers could be heard not far behind.
Zhou Shiying's expression changed, and she endured the pain as she hurried towards Cheng Gui Pavilion.
Can........
But where exactly is the Cheng Gui Ge branch?
This secretive force, entrenched in the Yan Emperor's territory, is elusive and cannot be found anywhere in the market. Zhou Shiying once heard her father say that this force was hidden in bustling urban areas.
It might be a very ordinary shop used as a base.
It could also be a high-end brothel or restaurant.
It's more likely just an ordinary house!
In short,
Cheng Gui Ge's base of operations is unrestricted and unregulated, making it difficult to trace. Ordinary people have never even heard of this force, and only the powerful and aristocratic families are aware of its terrifying nature.
"Where exactly is Cheng Gui Pavilion...? Where should I go to find it..."
"Is there really no hope?"
Two lines of clear tears welled up in Zhou Shiying's eyes. She hated this feeling of helplessness and embarrassment, so she forced the tears back and held them back.
At this time,
Two voices rang out simultaneously from behind!
One,
The black sheep's voice: "M-Young Miss?!?"
One,
It was the Pingyang City soldiers: "Madam! We've found Madam! She's not far ahead. Quick, surround her and capture her!"
Zhou Shiying was startled and immediately turned her head.
What catches the eye
It was Black Sheep carrying a rifle on his back. Black Sheep was originally ordered by Zhou Cheng to go to Pingyang City to investigate, but he had only gone halfway when he found out that Zhou Shiying had already set off.
Upon learning this news, Black Sheep immediately sent a message to Zhou Cheng, and then traveled a long way from afar to meet up with Zhou Cheng.
After traveling for several days, we finally arrived in Yancheng today.
He was planning to rush from Yancheng to Wangcheng overnight to meet up with the young master as soon as possible, but he heard the footsteps of the government soldiers searching on the way. When he came over, he saw Zhou Shiying.
"You, you are... Black Sheep??"
