NOVPUBBut she also saw clearly that this man harbored ambitions. He intended to exploit the Great Zhou’s animosity toward the Dayue, removing their most powerful competitor.
If successful, Wen Surong would become the leader of the entire Northern Border.
This would not only forge a strong partnership with the Great Zhou but also eliminate the so-called greedy ones.
Shen Roujia took a deep look at Wen Surong, realizing he was not a simple man.
“So, you’re planning to head to Yancheng, correct?”
Wen Surong nodded and hesitated before asking, “Could it be that you’re also going there?”
Shen Roujia exchanged a glance with Wei Rui and then quickly nodded, “It seems we are.”
Shen Roujia understood Wen Surong’s reasoning. As foreigners traveling during such a tense period, they would naturally attract attention. However, if they had a legitimate reason and companions, their journey would seem more justified.
Wei Rui looked at Wen Surong, also grasping his intention.
Shen Roujia chuckled softly and said, “I suppose I should call you Uncle. If you don’t mind, we can accompany you, and we can look out for each other along the way. Though we might be delayed a bit on the road.”
“I have some personal matters to handle, and I’m not sure if they will take extra time.”
Wen Surong, with a good-natured smile, readily agreed, “That would be perfect. If you need any help, don’t hesitate to ask.”
Shen Roujia smiled in response, “Alright then. We’ll be heading to Huizhou soon, and it’s not far from here.”
