It was because the maid was sleeping in Cheng Xianyi's bed, and given the urgency of leaving the capital, Heilong was afraid she might see something she shouldn't have, so he didn't lift the covers to check her out. Instead, he simply carried her out, blanket and all.
Can!
But this.......
"So, why are you sleeping in Xianyi's room? Tell me!"
Facing several pairs of sharp, cold gazes, Green Ivy turned pale with fright. Not daring to hide anything, she quickly knelt down and said, "Young Master, no, it's not that I wanted to sleep with you, it's that Miss told me to do it."
"Miss has been secretly leaving the manor every day for the past month."
"But she was worried that the master would find out about this, so she made me pretend to be asleep as soon as it got dark. Today, as soon as the young lady returned to the mansion, she ordered me to lie on the bed."
"He even told me not to go out no matter who came... I thought tonight would be peaceful like before, but I never expected that I would be here as soon as I opened my eyes."
Zhou Cheng rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
Every night before going to sleep, Cheng Xianyi would sneak into the General's Mansion, so this misunderstanding was related to her.
That's not the point. The point is, where is the immortal?
"This servant doesn't know. Miss doesn't tell us maids what she does. When Miss came back today, her face was a little cold and she seemed a little anxious. Then she left the manor not long after."
Zhou Cheng: "........" That's it, my fiancée is gone.
"Young Master, what do we do now? Should we go back to the capital to find Miss Cheng again?" Black Dragon pursed his lips, feeling deeply guilty.
If he hadn't been so arrogant and careless, this accident wouldn't have happened.
Zhou Cheng lowered his dark eyes slightly, and shook his head solemnly: "There's no going back."
"We have a weapon that can take on a hundred enemies, how could we not get back?"
“Any weapon of mass destruction needs someone to use it.” Zhou Cheng looked up, gazing towards the capital, his eyes filled with worry: “Didn’t you hear what the commander said? We can’t beat us by strength alone.”
"Use a war of attrition, use the lives of soldiers to overwhelm the enemy. If a thousand men are not enough, use five thousand. If five thousand are still not enough, use ten thousand. The capital has ample defenses, it is easy to transfer thirty to fifty thousand."
"There are only twenty of us. There will always be times when we are caught off guard and our energy is exhausted."
"By then, we probably won't even have the chance to leave the capital. Don't think that with these things, we can be invincible with just this few people. We just took advantage of their unpreparedness and caught the Fire Emperor off guard."
But what about Cheng Xianyi?
Even now, Zhou Cheng has no idea where she is or what she's doing!
His fiancée is delicate, gentle, harmless, and incapable of lifting a finger or carrying any heavy loads. She knows nothing, is naive, and easily trusts people. Without the protection of the Cheng family, she might suffer some injustice.
If he wasn't in a hurry, Zhou Cheng could quietly stay in the capital until he found Cheng Xianyi.
But he really didn't have time...
The father sent a message saying that all the grain and fodder had been destroyed, but the remaining grain could last for two more days.
Even if you ride at full speed from here to the border, it will take six or seven days without any unexpected events. If you encounter troops sent by Emperor Yan to intercept you, it may take up to ten days.
All the food supplies are in the commodity mall. Zhou Cheng must personally go to the border to control the food shortage situation!
"Black Dragon".
Zhou Cheng's cold and calm gaze swept over the black dragon, each word spoken with care and concern: "Take your weapons and sneak back to the capital, to... Lord Su's residence."
"Tell him that Zhou Cheng asked him to do everything in his power to help me find the Immortal's Will, protect her safety, and escort her safely to Jiangling City."
"If anything goes wrong this time, and the immortal essence is even slightly damaged, I will hold you accountable!"
Black Dragon immediately knelt down, speaking with firm and solemn words: "Yes, Young Master! I will definitely bring Miss Cheng back to Jiangling City safely!"
