Zu An chuckled. This woman was really impatient. She fell for his trick so easily. "Madam, don't worry. Too many people will alert the enemy. Two people are just right. Besides, I have other plans."
"Other arrangements?" Qin Wanru was taken aback.
“Let’s explain on the way. Let’s set off first,” Zuan said.
"Okay!" Qin Wanru got up to leave.
But Zu'an stopped her: "Madam, it may be inconvenient for you to move around in these clothes."
Now Qin Wan is dressed like a duchess in her finest attire, emphasizing pomp and grandeur. Wherever she goes, she becomes the center of attention, so how could she possibly participate in any activities?
"Wait for me a moment," Qin Wanru said before hurriedly leaving.
Not long after, just as Zuan was getting a little bored while waiting, her voice came from behind him: "It's done."
Zu An turned around and was stunned for a moment. He saw that Qin Wanru had changed into a close-fitting outfit, without any jewelry on her body, and had even taken off the phoenix hair ornament that she always wore.
Her previously meticulously styled, elegant hair bun was now loosened and casually tied up.
She looked simple and natural, and compared to her usual elegant and luxurious appearance, she now exuded a youthful and beautiful charm.
In addition, the outfit was quite form-fitting, which perfectly accentuated her graceful figure.
Qin Wanru frowned: "What are you looking at!"
Zu An smiled slightly: "If someone who doesn't know the situation saw you this way for the first time, they would think you are Chu Yan and Xiao Zhao's older sister."
"You're so glib, no wonder Chu Yan was fooled by you!" Qin Wanru snorted, but a faint hint of joy still appeared between her brows. What woman doesn't like to be praised for being young and beautiful, especially since the other party's tone just now was indeed very sincere.
To avoid attracting attention, the two did not leave through the main gate, but instead climbed over a secluded courtyard wall.
Qin Wanru looked around to make sure no one had seen her before turning back and asking, "Where do we go now?"
“River Defense Battalion!” Zu An said in a deep voice.
"The river defense battalion?" Qin Wanru's expression changed. "Where are those salt permits?"
“No, that’s not it,” Zuan shook his head. “Didn’t Madam worry that the two of us wouldn’t be able to handle it? So we need to borrow their strength.”
Qin Wanru frowned: "You wouldn't let me mobilize the Red Robe Army before, but now you want to go to the River Defense Battalion. Won't that alert them? Besides, those useless soldiers in the River Defense Battalion are nowhere near as useful as the Chu family's Red Robe Army."
