The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.
At this time, most of the people in Ruzhou City were still immersed in their dreams, and even the birds had not yet flown out of the branches. Ten carriages were lined up outside Wenxiangju, along with Chen Jiannan and his entourage.
Zhang Xiaoyu and Zhou Ziqiong also stood by the carriage, looking towards the end of the street, eagerly waiting.
"Knowing you were leaving today, why aren't you coming back?"
"Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu are far too ignorant of their own limitations!"
Zhou Ziqiong had arrived long ago and had already given Zhang Xiaoyu a lot of instructions while holding her hand. However, Jing Zhe had not returned from Wuxian Pavilion for a long time. Zhou Ziqiong knew without even thinking that it must be because Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu were making insatiable demands that made Jing Zhe return late.
He immediately became dissatisfied.
Zhang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Sixth Sister, don't be in a hurry. You have to understand them! Last night, it was Sister Qingren and Yingqiu who offered to let Sixth Sister have their husbands for the whole night! They didn't want to be separated from their husbands either, so it's no big deal for them to stay a little longer!"
"..."
Although Zhang Xiaoyu's analysis made some sense, Zhou Ziqiong had only spent one night with Jing Zhe, but they had spent the entire day and night with him yesterday. Of course, Zhou Ziqiong did not know that Jing Zhe had done many things during the day and only went to Wuxian Pavilion in the afternoon.
So Zhou Ziqiong pursed her lips but didn't say anything.
"The president is back!"
Suddenly someone shouted.
Everyone craned their necks to look, and saw Jing Zhe riding alone from the end of the street.
The others were fine, but Zhang Xiaoyu was a little puzzled: her husband usually flew back, so why did he ride a horse backwards this time? Wasn't that a bit redundant?
When Zhang Xiaoyu saw Jing Zhe dismount and walk with slightly weak legs, she realized what had happened. At the same time, she couldn't help but wonder: Had they stayed up all night? Otherwise, how could her husband, with such a strong body, have weak legs?
While marveling at Jing Zhe's prowess, one cannot help but admire Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu's strength.
Previously, the three of them could only withstand Jing Zhe's attacks for a little over two hours, but now the two of them have endured Jing Zhe's torment for a whole night. It's unbelievable!
Zhou Ziqiong, being inexperienced, didn't think much of it. Seeing Jing Zhe return alone, she said with dissatisfaction, "You're leaving today, aren't the other two coming to see you off?"
Jing Zhe chuckled: "Sixth Sister, the Pavilion Master and the Garden Master couldn't bear to part with me. They were afraid they wouldn't be able to control their emotions if they came, so they simply stayed at Wuxian Pavilion and didn't come over!"
Zhou Ziqiong, however, was not buying it: "Hehe, if that's the case, then shouldn't I have come too? Hmph, those are just excuses. I think they just don't take it seriously. I'll have to set some rules for them properly in the future!"
"Sixth Sister, please don't!"
Jing Zhe waved his hand and hurriedly advised.
Zhou Ziqiong went to Jingzhou to confront the Jingzhou Women's Group led by Zhu Xinning. She had to rely on the Ruzhou Alliance formed by Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu. How could she let them fight amongst themselves?
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoyu stepped forward and whispered a few words in Zhou Ziqiong's ear. Zhou Ziqiong's mouth opened wide, her face full of disbelief: because Zhang Xiaoyu said that it wasn't that they didn't want to come, but that they couldn't!
At the same time, she looked at Jing Zhe and wondered how the two of them could stay up all night with him when she had only been with him for less than an hour and had only rested for a day yesterday.
These were all minor incidents. Jing Zhe spoke with Zhou Ziqiong, Yu Li, Zhou Gui, and other people who came to see him off for a while, then got into the carriage with Zhang Xiaoyu and began their journey south again.
...
After leaving Ruzhou City, we headed south.
With Zhang Xiaoyu by his side, Jing Zhe wasn't too lonely or bored. After traveling for another four or five days, on the evening of the sixth day, the city walls of Kunlun County came into view.
"My lord, we have arrived at Kunlun County!"
Zhang Xiaoyu opened the carriage curtain and looked at the city wall tower in front of her.
"Um."
Jing Zhe said calmly, but his heart was filled with excitement.
Nearly two months have passed since their last meeting. Now that he's seeing his fourth sister, Pei Yunxi, again, winning her over shouldn't be a problem. Just thinking about Pei Yunxi's stunning yet aloof beauty makes Jing Zhe feel invigorated.
"Husband, do you think Fourth Sister is really easy to talk to?"
Zhang Xiaoyu said with some concern.
Even the most beautiful woman will feel apprehensive when meeting her boyfriend's parents, like an "ugly daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws." Jing Zhe's parents are no longer alive, so meeting his sisters is like meeting his parents. And Jing Zhe has so many sisters, each with a different personality, so it's not surprising that Zhang Xiaoyu is worried.
Along the way, Zhang Xiaoyu had inquired about Pei Yunxi, and Jing Zhe had been comforting her, saying how wonderful Pei Yunxi was, but Zhang Xiaoyu still felt nervous.
"Xiaoyu, Fourth Sister is just like Second Sister and Sixth Sister, she's a really good person!"
Speaking of "it's pretty good", Jing Zhe thought of some scenes that were not suitable for children, and his hands were itching, and his heart was itching even more.
Then he grabbed a handful of things in front of Zhang Xiaoyu and said with a wicked grin, "Xiaoyu is the same, that's great!"
"..."
Zhang Xiaoyu's face flushed instantly. She looked at Jing Zhe and after a long while, she finally managed to utter, "My husband is so naughty!"
"..."
Afterwards, the group entered the city in a grand procession.
Because it was already late afternoon and the weather was cold, there were no pedestrians inside or outside the Kunlun County city walls. Jing Zhe and his group had so many carriages that they were particularly conspicuous. In addition, they all spoke with accents from other places, so the soldiers guarding the city immediately stopped them.
What do you do?
"I am Chen Jiannan, the editor-in-chief of Da'an Daily. I have come to Kunlun County with President Jing of Da'an Daily to open a branch office!"
Chen Jiannan answered, walking at the front.
After leaving Ruzhou, these newspaper staff members gained considerable experience and were no longer flustered even when encountering government troops.
"Da'an Newspaper Office?"
The officer muttered something.
Having learned his lesson from his trip to Ruzhou, Chen Jiannan assumed that the people of Kunlun County were also unaware of the Da'an Newspaper. Just as he was about to explain to them, he saw the soldier turn around and shout towards the city tower.
"Prefect Chen, Chief Jing has arrived!"
"..."
Chen Jiannan was stunned and turned to look at Jing Zhe.
Jing Zhe walked up from behind, smiled, patted Chen Jiannan on the shoulder, and said, "Do you think everyone in Anguo doesn't know about our Da'an Newspaper?"
Because of the presence of the King of Jin and the King of Yu in Jinxi and Ruzhou, news about Jing Zhe was blocked, which is why the people there had never heard of the Da'an Newspaper.
Chen Jiannan had a preconceived notion that if the people of Ruzhou didn't know about the Da'an Newspaper, the people of Kunlun County certainly wouldn't know either.
Seeing Chen Jiannan in a daze, Jing Zhe patted him twice and laughed, "At our current pace, it won't be half a year before Da'an Newspaper becomes famous throughout the world. By then, we should all be prepared to have no worries about having no friends on the road ahead, for everyone in the world will know us!"
"..."
