Zhang Wuji's troops fought and retreated.
He had never suffered such a defeat since he started his rebellion at Guangmingding.
Before this, Zhang Wuji had always been victorious in every battle he attacked. He had never been defeated in the Battle of Xuzhou, the Battle of Longcheng, and even the entire Battle of Hexi.
But today, Zhang Wuji was actually defeated by Zhao Min.
From the battles over the past two days, Zhang Wuji realized many problems.
Although the Yuan Empire is on the decline, it is not yet time for its demise, especially with the existence of Zhao Min. With this woman around, the future of the Yuan Empire may really be an unknown.
…
On Zhou Zhiruo's side, they were still making final preparations, but at this moment, they discovered two figures running towards them from a distance.
Yu Fei on the side said: "I can't see clearly, it seems like there are two women, who could they be?"
Zhou Zhiruo smiled helplessly: "Today, I am really unlucky. All the people I don't like are here."
Yu Fei quickly asked: "Among the people Sister Zhou doesn't like, am I included?"
Zhou Zhiruo was surprised for a moment. It was not until this moment that she realized that she had accidentally told the truth.
Zhao Linger, who was standing by, quickly tried to smooth things over.
She said to Fei: "Okay, junior sister, considering that your sister Zhou is injured, don't bother with her for now. When she recovers, I will vent your anger for you."
Yu Fei smiled and said, "Senior Sister, am I as stingy as you think? Sister Zhou is just a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She just accidentally said the truth."
…
A moment later, Zhu'er and Han Zhao were brought to Zhou Zhiruo by several Ming Cult soldiers.
After seeing Zhou Zhiruo, Han Zhao spoke first and said, "Sister Zhou, I finally see you. I missed you so much."
A rare smile appeared on Zhou Zhiruo's pale face.
Although Zhou Zhiruo usually disliked these two girls, when they met, she felt a sense of joy of reunion after a long separation.
Zhou Zhiruo turned to Zhu'er and asked, "Silly girl, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year, don't you miss me?"
Zhu'er glanced at Zhou Zhiruo and said, "I do miss you a little bit, but why aren't you with my brother Wuji, but hiding here?"
Zhou Zhiruo was stunned for a moment, then she said, "I want to hide here, what's it to you?"
"You..." Zhu'er was speechless, but she then said, "You're too lazy to even explain it to me?"
Zhao Linger on the side hurriedly said: "Sister Zhu'er, you misunderstood your sister Zhou. She was injured, so she temporarily retreated from the battlefield."
"But your sister Zhou is not hiding here. She is waiting for the young master and setting an ambush for Zhao Min."
"Injured?" Zhu'er understood at this time, "Zhou Zhiruo's friendship for Brother Wuji is no less than hers. I guess it was because she was injured that Brother Wuji drove her off the battlefield."
Zhu'er said to Zhou Zhiruo, "Where are you injured? Let me see it quickly. Will it affect your ability to have children in the future?"
Han Zhao also quickly said: "Yes, Sister Zhou, please let me and Miss Zhu'er take a look at your injury. Look at your pale face, without any blood color. I deserve to be blamed for not noticing it at the first time."
Zhou Zhiruo quickly waved her hands and said, "I won't die. Even if I am injured and can't have children in the future, it doesn't matter, because Zhang Wuji already has a child."
Zhu'er and Han Zhao were both stunned.
Zhu'er quickly said: "Brother Wuji has a child? This is a good thing. Brother Wuji is worthy of being my man. He is so capable that he can have a child for himself on the way to unifying the three provinces of Hexi."
"Yes, this has fulfilled one of my wishes. After all, the three of us have been with my brother Wuji for such a long time, but none of us has gotten pregnant. This matter has been weighing on my mind for a long time."
Zhou Zhiruo looked at Zhu'er in surprise: "You little girl are quite open-minded. Don't you want to ask who Zhang Wuji's new woman is?"
Zhu'er said nonchalantly: "Who else could it be? It's either her or her."
Zhu'er used her slender fingers to point at Yu Fei first, and then at Zhao Linger.
Zhou Zhiruo laughed and said, "You little rascal, do you really not care at all?"
This time, without waiting for Zhu'er to reply, Han Zhao said first: "Sister Zhou, there is nothing to care about. You must have kept a close eye on the young master's new woman. You are such a strict person, and now you have let go. What else can Miss Zhu'er and I say?"
Zhou Zhiruo smiled slightly: "I'm really impressed by you two, each one is more open-minded than the other."
Then, Zhou Zhiruo gently pointed at Zhao Linger beside her.
"This sister is already pregnant with Zhang Wuji's child. Her name is Zhao Linger. She is a very capable person and is also rich enough to rival a country. Except for her age, she is more capable than me in all aspects. You two should call her sister from now on."
Zhu'er and Han Zhao hurried to Zhao Linger's side.
Zhu'er spoke first: "Sister Zhao, from now on, we are sisters, and we can get along well with each other."
Han Zhao also quickly said: "Yes, Sister Zhao, Miss Zhu'er is right, we get along very well. Even if there are some quarrels, they are all expressed openly. There is absolutely no intrigue behind the scenes."
Zhao Linger smiled slightly: "My two sisters, I am a few years older than you. I am rich, with a lot of money. In the future, no matter what you want, don't be polite to me. I promise that as long as it is something that money can buy, I will give you the best."
In just a moment, Zhao Linger and the other two started fighting.
Zhou Zhiruo was really puzzled. Zhu'er and Han Zhao, those two little girls, had never been so enthusiastic towards her. They had just met Zhao Linger for the first time, so how could they become familiar with each other so quickly?
Just when Zhou Zhiruo was puzzled, a Ming Cult soldier hurriedly ran up to her.
"Madam Zhou, the leader's men are about to retreat here. It will take only a quarter of an hour at most."
Zhou Zhiruo nodded: "I understand, you go down first."
After the Ming Cult soldier left, Zhou Zhiruo said to Zhao Linger and the other three, "That's enough for you three. You have a lifetime to talk about."
"Zhang Wuji's troops are about to retreat here. Be prepared. After we pass this point, we will return to Jinyang."
The faces of Zhao Linger and the other three also became serious in an instant.
Zhao Linger first asked Yu Fei beside her: "Junior sister, are you all ready?"
Yu Fei said: "Everything is ready. As soon as the young master's large group of troops arrives, we will stop Zhao Min's pursuers."
