After everything was explained...
Zhou Cheng then ordered Black Rat to prepare horses immediately. After leaving behind a batch of grenades and ammunition sufficient to fight against the imperial army, he led his men to the capital to find Cheng Xianyi.
Meanwhile, Heilong and the Su family in the capital were frantic with worry.
It's been several days already!
It's been several days, how come we can't find a living person?
The entire capital was searched, but the Su family couldn't find a trace of Cheng Xianyi. Such a delicate and weak woman, without the protection of her family, must have lived a miserable life.
"Master, we'll be at the North Pass shortly."
"After passing through Beidaoguankou, continue straight for twenty li, and you will reach Jiangling City."
"The stench of blood here is so strong; there must have been a major battle these past two days... It's also strange that such a large official post is unguarded. Where are the imperial guards?"
Ziyan changed out of her black outfit and into a coarse linen fabric that only poor families could afford.
She frowned as she looked at the cleaned-up gate.
Bloodstains were visible everywhere, and all the tents were burned, indicating that the battle was extremely fierce.
What surprised Ziyan the most was that Guankou was a necessary passage for transporting goods, and the battle between the two sides must have been for the purpose of fighting for Guankou. Why didn't the winning side send anyone to stay and guard it?
"master??"
Ziyan didn't hear a response, so she quickly turned her head to look.
This sight left Ziyan completely dumbfounded.
What did she see?
Cheng Xianyi gracefully bent down, her eyes gazing tenderly at the snow. She looked at it again and again, and finally, a strange smile appeared on her lips, as if she were lost in the beauty of it all.
"Master, what are you looking at?"
"Look at it." Cheng Xianyi raised her slender finger and pointed to the snow. She was wearing the cheapest cotton and linen clothes, but with her peerless face, she still couldn't hide her noble air and beauty.
This very second.
Ziyan felt that it wouldn't make much of a difference to have her master change into clothes worn by poor people.
The first thing I noticed about Cheng Xianyi wasn't her simple, plain clothes, but her stunningly beautiful face!
Will this really make Zhou Gongzi feel sorry for him?
Why does she feel like... the art style is a bit off?
Ziyan felt a pang of sorrow, but then she gathered her thoughts and looked in the direction Cheng Xianyi was pointing: "Isn't this snow? Master, what are you looking at in the snow?"
"No, these are shoe prints."
"These are the shoe prints left by A-Cheng."
“Look, the shoe print has the words ‘forever’ printed on it. These are the shoes I gave to Acheng. I specially ordered them from the shoe shop.”
"Ziyan, do you think Acheng misses me? Otherwise, why would he be wearing the shoes I gave him?"
Ziyan: "......."
She was truly exasperated by this guy's love-struck mind, which was completely consumed by Zhou Cheng.
Where is that once intelligent, resourceful, and ruthless master who kept men at arm's length? How did he become like this after meeting Young Master Zhou?
Shoes are meant to be worn, aren't they?
Also, it's just a shoe print. How did the master manage to find a shoe print in the vast snow?
And he was staring at a shoe print, lost in thought, his eyes full of tenderness?
Just as Ziyan covered her face in helplessness, about to say something, a man's voice suddenly came from afar: "Is this Zhou Zhenguang's territory ahead? Jiangling City?"
