"Procedure?!"
"Procedure!!!"
Marquis Pingyang was struck dumb. In that instant, he seemed to have suddenly realized something, his eyes fixed on the closed dark room.
He thought to himself, "I'm afraid I really made the wrong bet..."
Zhou Cheng has a deadly weapon inside and Cheng Xianyi's help outside.
Why did he choose to side with Emperor Yan?
Marquis Pingyang wept bitterly, regretting his past actions!
Cheng Xianyi, who was leaving, did not care what Marquis Pingyang had imagined, and she would not let him go just because of a few words of instigation from him. She wanted to use his life to change the image of Cheng Guige in Zhou Cheng's mind.
"master."
As soon as Ziyan saw Cheng Xianyi come out, she immediately handed him the secret letter and whispered, "It came from Yancheng."
"The letter said that the granaries in Yancheng were burned down, leaving not a single grain of food, and the same was true for the treasury; overnight, not even a copper coin remained. Everything disappeared completely."
"The Marquis of Pingyang cut out the tongue of Zhou Shiying's personal maid and left her in a secluded, deserted house. He also assigned several people to guard her. Should we lend a hand?"
Cheng Xianyi took the secret letter and glanced at it.
Her gaze lingered on the word 'disappeared' for a second.
then,
Cheng Xianyi lit the secret letter without changing his expression, watching the letter burn inch by inch: "Don't worry about it, don't ask about it."
"Don't you want to know why those things disappeared overnight?"
Cheng Xianyi chuckled lightly, glancing at Ziyan with an utterly foolish look: "Don't you think those killing weapons in A-Cheng's hands seem to have appeared out of nowhere overnight?"
"Does the plague afflicting the young master of the Su family in the capital seem like it could be cured by medicine overnight?"
I think I'm...
"I have a pretty good idea why Ah Cheng is so close to me."
An unfathomable dark light flashed in Cheng Xianyi's pupils as she reached out and touched the jewelry on her head.
Images of Zhou Chengchao smiling at her and walking towards her flashed through her mind.
Just like many years ago, he sat on horseback in a black robe, looking back at her with deep eyes, saying that he would never abandon her, but he never came back.
She thought,
Any reason is acceptable.
Anything that can keep him is acceptable.
When Cheng Xianyi and Ziyan left the 'cloth shop' and returned to the inn...
Zhou Cheng and his men, who had been chasing after Marquis Pingyang, arrived at Liaowang City. Shortly after entering the city, they discovered that more than a hundred elite soldiers left behind by Marquis Pingyang were stationed at the entrance of an alley not far from the inn.
These more than one hundred people waited and waited at the alley entrance for half a day, but they still couldn't wait for Marquis Pingyang to bring Cheng Xianyi back.
Not only that, but they also encountered Zhou Cheng and Black Rat, who came to kill them.
"Young master."
Black Rat wiped the blood off his face and said solemnly, "The group hiding at the alley entrance has been wiped out, but we haven't found any trace of Marquis Pingyang!"
"Their people said that the Marquis of Pingyang had targeted Miss Cheng two hours ago, hoping to kidnap her and extract information about the weapon, and that they were waiting for the Marquis of Pingyang to return."
"Young Master... Marquis Pingyang has taken the remaining dozen or so elite soldiers to ambush Miss Cheng."
As soon as he said this...
The atmosphere around them froze for a few seconds.
Zhou Cheng suddenly looked up: "Where is the immortal intent?"
