"Furthermore, the young master said today that we'll continue eating meat! Half a pound of meat per person!"
"To hell with the imperial court! They think they can wear us down by besieging the city and blocking the roads? Don't even think about it!"
"Mr. Mighty!"
The rousing shouts echoed throughout the entire military camp.
At this moment, those soldiers whose eyes had been dull and lifeless, those who had been prepared to die in this heavy snow, finally saw hope and finally broke into tears of joy.
At this moment, Zhou Cheng stood in the most conspicuous position and gave the order that the army in Jiangling City could eat as much as they wanted, with plenty of food. Not only would each person receive half a catty of meat, but they would also be given half a catty of wine.
From then on.
The Zhou family army has risen from the dead and is unstoppable.
Meanwhile, Grand Tutor Cheng, still holding a chicken leg in his hand, looked sorrowful. He would occasionally lean close to Zhou Cheng's ear and utter two sentences every now and then: "Nephew Cheng, my lonely and childless immortal will..."
"Why is there still no news from Heilongjiang? Why haven't they found my daughter yet?"
"If anything happens to her, how can I live?"
"Thank you, nephew..."
Throughout the journey, Zhou Cheng's mind was filled with thoughts of his nephew, Cheng's nephew.
Furthermore, there were the desolate scenes described by Grand Tutor Cheng, which made him see Cheng Xianyi pitifully begging for food with a porcelain bowl whenever he closed his eyes.
I wonder how things are going with Heilong and the Su family?
Have you found the essence of immortality?
The thought of his naive and vulnerable fiancée, coupled with the constant nagging of Grand Tutor Cheng, made Zhou Cheng increasingly worried, fearing that she might be bullied or suffer some accident in the capital.
Thinking this, Zhou Cheng couldn't sit still any longer.
"Uncle Cheng, what you said makes me uneasy. If something happens to her... never mind, I don't even want to think about it."
"I'll go find my father to arrange the army's movements. We'll set off for the capital to find her immediately."
Zhou Zhenguang, who was enjoying a good meal with his generals, was called out. Upon seeing his son's solemn expression, Zhou Zhenguang guessed the reason: "Cheng'er, is it time to return to the capital?"
Zhou Cheng said worriedly, "There's still no news about Xianyi."
“She was pampered by Uncle Cheng since she was a child. Now that the Cheng family has fallen, I don’t know how difficult her life in the capital will be.”
Standing to the side, Grand Tutor Cheng nodded in agreement.
He knows his daughter best, the one he raised himself.
Xianyi was frail from a young age. After being jilted by Zhou Cheng, she couldn't even bear the slightest gossip. Once, she committed suicide by jumping into a lake in the dead of winter, for reasons unknown.
Poor Grand Tutor Cheng had no idea!
The time Cheng Xianyi jumped into the water in winter was not actually a suicide attempt. Rather, it was Zhou Cheng who pushed Cheng Xianyi, who was menstruating, into the icy lake to vent his anger for Lin Jiaoyun.
afterwards,
To prevent her father from resenting Zhou Cheng, Cheng Xianyi kept the matter a secret and ordered her servants to tell others that she had jumped into the river because she was feeling suicidal.
Because of this incident, Grand Tutor Cheng felt even more that his daughter was frail and weak, and he no longer dared to speak ill of Zhou Cheng in the mansion, for fear that his daughter would be so distraught as to jump into the river if she suffered even the slightest grievance.
"Father, the issue of food and supplies has been resolved."
"Next will be the war between the imperial court and the Zhou family."
“Once our weapon is unleashed, Emperor Yan will definitely be wary of us. He won’t give the Zhou family much time to breathe. I’m afraid that in just a few days, the imperial army will be at our gates.”
"Before I leave the camp, I will leave you a batch of grenades and ammunition sufficient to withstand the imperial court's attacks. In the next few days, have the soldiers strengthen their archery training, and then select a group of them to carefully train in marksmanship."
“............”
