Just when he was about to retire successfully and Zhou Shiying was about to be tricked into going to the capital as a hostage, Zhou Cheng arrived from Jiangling City.
Marquis Pingyang was unwilling to accept this. He had a bright future waiting for him in the capital, but now it was all ruined. Not only did he not gain any benefits, but he also completely offended the Zhou family.
"Marquis!!"
"Look there!"
Sudden,
The subordinate cried out in surprise.
Marquis Pingyang was startled and turned his head angrily to reprimand his subordinates, but at that moment, several figures suddenly entered his line of sight.
In the inn not far away.
Several archers carrying rifles stood at the door, their faces cold and solemn as they stared straight ahead... Although Marquis Pingyang did not recognize these unfamiliar faces, he could clearly see the deadly weapons in their hands.
The overwhelming sense of oppression made Marquis Pingyang immediately recognize that they were from the Zhou family!
"Marquis, that is a weapon of mass destruction."
"The black thing they're carrying can kill without a trace. Did Zhou Cheng and his group catch up with us? That's impossible!"
"We took the fast road, and with the garrison soldiers and the lady as a threat, how could Zhou Cheng possibly arrive at Wangcheng faster than us? Where did these people come from, and how do they have weapons?"
One of the subordinates suddenly said, "My lord, look! There are two women over there!"
Marquis Pingyang looked again with trepidation.
He saw Cheng Xianyi walk out with light steps. The archers guarding the door immediately put on a fake friendly smile when they saw Cheng Xianyi, and every move they made revealed respect.
After confirming that Cheng Xianyi was going out...
Several archers immediately stood guard behind her, their expressions solemn and extremely cautious.
All of these scenes were observed by the Marquis of Pingyang.
As the archers approached, Marquis Pingyang quickly retreated into the alleyway. Only after the footsteps had faded into the distance did he cautiously peek out and stare at Cheng Xianyi's back, his eyes filled with amazement.
"who is she?"
"Go and ask them why the Zhou family is in Wangcheng!"
When the subordinate who went to gather information returned, he immediately reported, "My lord, I have found out everything."
"Zhou Cheng arrived at Liaowang City two days ago with more than a hundred people. Among his entourage were two women. It is said that Zhou Cheng is very fond of one of the stunningly beautiful women."
"He even rejected the advances of Prefect Xia's daughter for her sake."
As he spoke,
The subordinate pointed to Cheng Xianyi, who had already walked away: "She's the one in the white velvet cloak. Zhou Cheng always sleeps in the same room with her at night. They have a close relationship!"
Marquis Pingyang's mind was filled with Cheng Xianyi's stunningly beautiful face, even without makeup. He couldn't forget such beauty!
Zhou Cheng dotes on her a lot?
Do you like it very much?
They even sleep together?
who is she.........
Marquis Pingyang searched through his memories but couldn't find anyone who matched the description.
He had lived in Pingyang City all these years, and he didn't even go to the capital when he proposed to Zhou Shiying. He had only heard rumors about Zhou Cheng in the capital, but had never witnessed them with his own eyes.
He remembered Zhou Shiying saying...
"The Lin family girl is of average appearance, yet she thinks highly of herself. Zhou Cheng, however, is blind to everyone else; he only has eyes for the Lin family girl. I remember Zhou Shiying describing her to me in this way!"
