She went along with him and said, "Yes, let's do our best together."
But her attitude puzzled Yuan Xingzhou: "Just now in front of She Kou, you were so anxious about Yuwen Sheng's body, but now you're so indifferent, does that mean you're not in a hurry anymore?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Quchi looked at the spot where the black coffin had been placed. Now, the black coffin containing Yuwen Sheng's body had been taken away by those people from Julu Kingdom as a bargaining chip, leaving only an empty space: "It's urgent."
"Then why do you lack confidence?"
Based on the information provided by Wei Zhuang and Wang Zebang, it would be difficult for the hastily assembled troops of Ye Kingdom to defeat the elite soldiers of other countries.
“This was my original plan: if we could win, that would be best. If we lost, I had a second plan: I would steal it. If that failed, I would implement a third plan: if I couldn't steal it, I would rob it. In short, I would find a way to retrieve Yuwen Sheng's body myself.

Zheng Quchi also tried to probe her inner thoughts, and said with a wry smile, "Perhaps it's because I don't trust him..."
What do you distrust about him?
She didn't know how to express herself in a way that would make him understand, so she told him a story: "I once heard a story about a woman who raised a python from a cub to adulthood. They were very close, even sharing the same bed. But after the python grew to adulthood, she discovered something strange... One day, the python suddenly stopped eating and drinking, and instead lay beside her every day, stretching out its body. The woman found this strange, so she went to ask some snake breeders. But what she asked terrified her."
