The person who came was wearing a thick cotton-padded coat, fur gloves, and warm leather boots.
He was covered in cold-weather gear from head to toe.
He carried a weapon of unknown origin, and his very appearance exuded an inexplicable sense of oppression.
He is Zhou Cheng.
With handsome features and a radiant spirit, Zhou Cheng walked towards them through the snow.
"Zhou, Young Master Zhou?!"
"Am I dreaming? General Zhou! Is this Young Master Zhou?"
"Hiss! It's already past midnight, how could he be here? He couldn't have traveled all night to get here, could he?" Everyone stared wide-eyed at Zhou Cheng as he approached.
"father!!"
Second sister Zhou Baiyun ran out.
Her eyes welled up with tears when she saw her father, who was slumped on the ground from exhaustion.
In that instant,
All her worries and fears turned into excitement. She suddenly rushed towards Zhou Zhenguang and finally dared to choke out her worries from the journey: "Dad, sob sob... I'm so scared."
"I was so afraid something might happen to you, it worried my mother and me to death."
"You said in your letter that the army's granaries were burned down and there were no supplies for the winter. I was worried about this day and night in the capital and dared not stop at all along the way."
"If it weren't for my fourth brother comforting us the whole way, saying that you would definitely be alright, I would have been really scared, really scared... Waaah, Dad, are you hungry? I'll get you some dry food!"
The second sister wiped away her tears and quickly handed the food from her pocket to Zhou Zhenguang.
Zhou Zhenguang patted his second sister on the back with satisfaction.
He held the life-saving biscuit in his hand, deeply moved.
Unable to wait for Zhou Cheng's return in Jiangling City, Zhou Zhenguang was extremely worried, fearing that something might have happened to Zhou Cheng in the capital, or that he might have been betrayed by an important confidant.
Ultimately, they were unable to escape the capital.
Fortunately, everything is alright.
"Alright, alright, don't cry, Baiyun. Daddy's alright, Daddy's fine."
"You've had a tough journey."
“Cheng’er.” Zhou Zhenguang’s eyes reddened as he looked at his son who had walked up to him. His lips trembled, and all his worries and fears finally turned into: “It’s good that you’re back. It’s good that you’re back.”
His son is really amazing.
It made him very proud.
Not only did they successfully leave the capital, but they also overcame numerous difficulties to reach the border within the agreed time.
Just as he was feeling moved, Zhou Zhenguang suddenly smelled a strong stench of blood. His expression changed slightly, and he was about to ask Zhou Cheng if he was seriously injured when he bumped into the sack containing the head.
"Cheng'er, what... what is this?"
Zhou Chengan smiled and helped her up.
He immediately threw the cloth bag on the ground.
The old general beside him quickly stepped forward with a torch, took a closer look, and his expression changed drastically. Then, after taking another closer look, he burst into excited and joyful laughter: "Hahahaha, Fan Wei, you dog!"
"General Zhou, it's Fan Wei!"
"That damned traitor burned down our granaries, killed our warhorses, and now he's dead at the hands of Young Master Zhou! Retribution!"
As he was laughing, the old general suddenly paused, then looked at Zhou Cheng with a look of surprise and disbelief.
Then he looked at the number of people behind Zhou Cheng.
He looks to be only around twenty years old?
This is not right!
"Young Master Zhou, how many men did you bring to the border this time? Where are the others?" The old general looked several times but couldn't see any other people behind Zhou Cheng.
Upon hearing this, the initially excited crowd calmed down and quickly scanned behind Zhou Cheng.
