He Miaoxue twisted her handkerchief and fell silent.
The terror and power of that weapon were known throughout the capital, and even His Majesty was envious of its origin.
Zhou Cheng not only possesses unparalleled weapons of mass destruction, but he has also seized the grain and treasury of eight cities, and has 90,000 loyal troops on the border. If Zhou Cheng were to rebel... there would probably be no one to stop him.
This time, Zhou Cheng, who was determined to steal the bride, did not come. As Sister Yun said, he was forced to give up.
After Zhou Cheng storms into the capital, the idea of making Sister Fengyun empress becomes extremely strong...
"All right!"
After weighing the options, He Miaoxue gritted her teeth and agreed. She lowered her voice and said, "Sister Yun, I don't really care about the princess's fiefdom. What matters is that you can be happy."
"I'll go back to the manor now, pack my bags, and go to Jiangling City for you."
"If Zhou Cheng knew what you went through at the Qin family, I don't know how heartbroken he would be. He certainly wouldn't abandon you."
Lin Jiaoyun was deeply moved and hugged He Miaoxue, expressing her gratitude repeatedly.
Then he painted a big picture for He Miaoxue, a picture of "wealth and honor".
Holding this tempting offer, and with her own little scheme in mind, He Miaoxue became even more excited. She immediately got up to take her leave, preparing to personally go to Jiangling City to find Zhou Cheng.
time,
Soon it was the night before Zhou Cheng was to arrive at the border.
When Emperor Yan learned of this news, he was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night. At dawn, he unleashed his fury in the Golden Phoenix Palace: "Zhou Cheng actually left unharmed!"
"So many of you chased them all the way, yet you still couldn't catch up with Zhou Cheng and the others?"
"waste!"
"They're all useless!"
"What did you say? Zhou Cheng didn't take any food or gold and silver jewelry? The supplies that suddenly disappeared in the eight cities vanished overnight. Who else could have taken them if not him?"
The cavalryman knelt in the center of the hall, repeating with heartbreaking cries, "There really isn't any!"
The elite troops of the eight cities all thought that Zhou Cheng would have a hard time moving forward. How could he possibly move fast with so much food and supplies?
But I never expected this!
The news from the front is that Zhou Cheng and his group did not carry any items.
This unexpected news left the ministers in a state of confusion, and they immediately denied it, saying, "This is impossible!"
"It's one thing that Zhou Cheng didn't bring any grain with him, but the grain in the city's granaries could have been burned by him. But gold and silver can't be burned, so how could he not have any?"
"If not, then what about the silver? The eight cities combined alone are worth over a million taels of silver! Where is all that silver?!"
"Could it just disappear into thin air?"
Not only the ministers found it hard to believe.
The cavalrymen who first received the news were even more incredulous!
But that was the truth. On the day Zhou Cheng left the city, he had nothing on him. He even carried his travel provisions in a small bundle. That was all he had!
Bang--
Emperor Yan collapsed onto the dragon throne in shock.
Vanished into thin air?
Nothing?
At that moment, he suddenly remembered the day Zhou Cheng left the capital. The entire General's Mansion had been emptied, leaving not a single copper coin or table corner behind, as if it had vanished in an instant...
