Ziyan: "......."
That's amazing.
One second they were half-dead.
It's so sweet it hurts my teeth.
"Young master, the fast horses are ready."
"My lord, five hundred archers are in position."
Zhou Cheng coughed lightly, took Cheng Xianyi's soft little hand, and looked at Black Rat and Black Horse, who had their heads bowed to their necks: "Have you informed my father about leaving the city?"
"I told you, General Zhou said he's waiting for your triumphant return!"
"Alright, come with me to the archery range."
Zhou Cheng had only taken a couple of steps forward when he realized that the person behind him wasn't moving.
Cheng Xianyi stood there, her delicate pink lips slightly pursed, her gaze fixed intently on him, looking somewhat aggrieved and pitiful: "Acheng, are you going to the capital?"
Before Zhou Cheng could even answer, Black Horse, quick to speak, immediately chimed in: "We haven't decided on a specific destination yet!"
"That spy just confessed."
"They say that Marquis Pingyang sent him to Jiangling City to steal the weapon and exploit General Zhou's weakness. They also say that in order to gain the favor of Emperor Yan, Marquis Pingyang is willing to sacrifice his own family for the greater good and send the young lady to the capital as a hostage."
"The young lady is still completely in the dark and doesn't know what happened to the Zhou family."
"Young Master is worried about the young lady and has already sent people to Pingyang City to gather information. In order to prevent any accidents, Young Master must head towards the capital and intercept the young lady before Marquis Pingyang."
If Zhou Shiying were to fall into the hands of Emperor Yan.
Putting aside everything else, they will definitely suffer a lot.
Although Zhou Cheng possessed a deadly weapon, he was able to rescue Zhou Shiying from Emperor Yan.
But things can go wrong, even if it's just a matter of chance. If they anger Emperor Yan, Zhou Shiying might lose half her life, and the rescue process would be much more complicated. It would be better to intercept him from the start!
This explanation followed.
The suppressed aura around Cheng Xianyi dissipated completely.
is that so?
So... it wasn't because of Miss Lin?
She looked up at Zhou Cheng with bright, dark eyes, tugged at his sleeve, and gazed at him expectantly without saying a word.
"Want to go?"
"Mm." Cheng Xianyi nodded expectantly.
Zhou Cheng naturally wanted to take Cheng Xianyi with him, considering that his points in the supply mall had remained stagnant.
Thinking this through, Zhou Cheng prepared to agree: "Then..."
But upon hearing this, the black horse suddenly spoke up: "Young master, I'm afraid this won't work. Miss Cheng has just arrived at the border from the capital and has suffered so much. Her body is so weak and powerless."
"She's sensitive to the cold and delicate; she'd probably fall ill if the wind blew her away."
"This back and forth, the journey is long, I'm afraid my body can't take it."
As Heima spoke, he shook his head and sized up Cheng Xianyi's figure.
Black Rat's expression was solemn. He also recalled the pitiful sight of Cheng Xianyi lying in the snow and said worriedly, "Young Master, Black Horse is right. Think about the scene when you saw Miss Cheng yesterday."
"She is delicate and frail, how could she endure such travel and hardship?"
Cheng Xianyi: "......."
Zi Yan felt a chill run down her spine: "........."
It's over.
That's over the top.
This time, they've shot themselves in the foot.
Is it too late to make excuses now?
