"Yes, it's about twenty li away."
"Once we get to Jiangling City, we mustn't reveal our true purpose. That old scoundrel Zhou Zhenguang is very cunning. We'll just say that we're on the orders of the Marquis and his wife, bringing a batch of supplies to relieve the Zhou family's urgent needs."
"I know, I know... Hiss, what's going on at Beidaoguankou? It looks like a major battle just happened?"
First, there was the sound of two men talking.
Then,
There were the soft sounds of footsteps and horses' hooves, indicating that there were about several dozen people.
Upon hearing the title "Marquis," Cheng Xianyi lowered her beautiful eyes, a cold glint flashing deep within them.
The Marquis's Mansion in Pingyang City was built by the founding heroes of the previous dynasty.
He is also the husband of Zhou Shiying, the eldest sister of the Zhou family.
Zhou Shiying has a fiery and stubborn personality, which is completely different from her second sister Zhou Baiyun's gentle personality.
Two years ago.
Zhou Shiying had a big fight with her younger brother Zhou Cheng because of Lin Jiaoyun. She was extremely disappointed in Zhou Cheng and declared that she would not go home as long as he liked Lin Jiaoyun.
He then ran away in a huff, and by chance, he met the Marquis of Pingyang City.
Not long after, Zhou Shiying married him despite everyone's objections.
In the past two years, Zhou Shiying has completely lost contact with the Zhou family. We wonder how she's doing at the Marquis's residence...
"It seems that Zhou Zhenguang recently led his troops to attack Guankou in the north, and suffered a crushing defeat. But where is the imperial army? Why is there not a single soldier guarding Guankou? That's strange."
"Guardian".
"You're saying our Marquis is doing this behind the Madam's back? What if she finds out later? Won't she hate him to death?"
"Pfft! Hate? Zhou Zhenguang is a traitor, and the Zhou family is about to fall! What right does she, the daughter of a traitor, have to hate? She can't even protect herself! Don't you know that?"
"Know what?"
"The Marquis married her back then for Zhou Zhenguang's power, but this bitch did just that. As soon as she married into the manor, she cut off all ties with the Zhou family, causing our Marquis to not get any benefit at all."
“Now that Zhou Zhenguang has rebelled, the Marquis has long disliked that shrew. She won’t live much longer. The Marquis will kill her in the next few days and send her to the underworld with the Zhou family.”
"........"
The conversation had barely ended when a clear, cold voice interrupted: "What happened?"
The sudden sound startled them.
The head guard, who was about thirty or forty years old, looked up in alarm in the direction of the sound.
Two young women, dressed simply and modestly, stood there. The one on the left was stunningly beautiful, with cold and indifferent eyes, and exuded an imposing air of nobility.
The woman standing on the right is petite and not tall, but she has a delicate baby face and looks sweet and lovely.
Thump thump thump thump!!
This glance.
The sight made the hearts of dozens of men beat at the same time.
"How could two young ladies appear in such a freezing place?" The guard, in the prime of his life, felt completely mesmerized, staring intently at Cheng Xianyi standing not far away.
So beautiful.
When the lady first entered the Marquis's residence, they found her to be exceptionally beautiful.
At that time, the servants of the Marquis's mansion were all marveling at how the feng shui of the capital was so nurturing, as the young ladies from noble families there were all fair-skinned, beautiful, and charming.
But who would have thought that there was such a beautiful fairy near the bitterly cold border?
Cheng Xianyi, who had been scrutinized from head to toe, slowly stood up. A red light flashed deep in her eyes, disappearing in an instant: "What is your purpose in going to Jiangling City to find General Zhou?"
