Upon seeing the respectful deanor of the two n and their gifts, he said truthfully, “I don’t an to disappoint you both but you’ve co too late.
That girl Wei’er, has already left.”
“She left?”
Their faces fell as they heard this, and the man holding the jewelry box anxiously asked, “May I ask, Shopkeeper, do you know where Miss Mu went to?
How long has she been gone?”
Zhou Laowu, being forthright, said, “She left less than one Shi Chen (approximately one hour) ago.”
The faces of the two n changed again, their eyes flashing.
The one holding the jewelry box hesitated for a mont then handed over the box.
“In that case, when Miss Mu returns in a few days, Shopkeeper, please do the favor of delivering this box to her,” he said.
Zhou Laowu sighed, not taking the box.
“Ah, the girl didn’t say when, or even if, she would be back.
She might not return at all in this lifeti.
You two should take this back and let your Master decide what to do!”
Upon hearing this, the two n did not insist, but put the box back into their sleeves.
“If that’s the case, we will take our leave.
Excuse us!”
Both of them courteously saluted before turning and leaving.
They had been polite and respectful all throughout, without a shred of disrespect or impropriety.
However, as soon as they left Zhou Ji’s Roast at, the man who had been carrying the jewelry box seed anxious.
“Second Brother He, we should quickly hire a carriage to go after her!”
The man called Second Brother He stroked his chin and shook his head.
“Miss Mu is not a criminal, how can we forcibly capture a young lady in broad daylight?
I believe it is better to send Lord Shen a letter by pigeon and inform him of the situation.
Let him decide!”
The other one nodded.
“Your wisdom is comndable, Second Brother He!” Having reached a decision, they left feeling secure.
…
At this ti, in the military camp of the Lingbei army, a group of people dressed as soldiers from Great Jin had just arrived.
Holding food boxes and dical supplies, they were led by a guard into the General’s tent in single file.
Among these people was a beautiful young woman who stood out.
She wore a Qiuxiang-colored floor-length cloak and a light pink gauze hat, with a translucent veil revealing her radiant face.
Nangong Yi was sitting in the camp, examining a map of Lingbei.
His army had been fighting against the ng Slaves.
The ng Slaves, being fierce warriors with a deep hatred for foreign invaders, fought relentlessly on the battlefield.
Thus, Nangong Yi was not able to gain an advantage.
Montum is the most important thing in a battle!
The army of King Qin had traveled from a distant land, and not having triumphed in the first battle, it had sowhat impacted the morale of the three ard services.
Nangong Yi was deeply distressed by this.
He had summoned his generals to his tent, preparing for the next battle.
When Shen Furong and her companions arrived in King Qin’s military tent, the first thing she saw was the man sitting amidst the generals.
Dressed in silver armor, his eyes exuding a chill, he appeared even more handso and untouchable.
The aura of nobility and authority surrounding him was truly unforgettable.
Shen Furong gazed at him, unable to believe that such a captivating man existed in the world.
She only recovered when she saw his furrowed brows, and then bashfully averted her gaze and bowed.
“Your humble servant, Shen Furong, greets Your Highness King Qin.
May your Highness live long and prosper!”
Shen Furong’s graceful figure coupled with her lodious voice, which was as enchanting as a nightingale’s song, caused all the soldiers present to divert their eyes to her.
