NOVPUBt didn’t take long before Gu Zhi arrived, eager for news from Shen Roujia.
When Shen Roujia saw Gu Zhi enter, she greeted her with a cheerful smile.
But Gu Zhi was initially wary of the two men in the room, her eyes filled with concern that they might be trying to deceive Shen Roujia into doing something dangerous.
Of course, Shen Roujia wasn’t someone who could be easily tricked. She tugged at Gu Zhi’s sleeve and said, “Zhi Zhi, sit down. There are some things I can’t explain properly. You all need to discuss them thoroughly. Also, these matters may sound unbelievable, but they are crucial!”
Since Shen Roujia had spoken so seriously, and because Gu Zhi trusted her implicitly, she believed whatever Shen Roujia said, no matter how far-fetched it seemed.
To lighten the mood, Shen Roujia asked, “By the way, Zhi Zhi, do you have enough grain?” 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Gu Zhi’s expression softened noticeably, “This wouldn’t have been possible without you. If it weren’t for your help, I wouldn’t have found such a good solution.”
Shen Roujia smiled slightly and then introduced the men, “This is Uncle Wen Surong, and this is Brother Tu Lie.”
“They come from the Wen family in the Northern Border. The Northern Border has been thrown into chaos by the Dayue Clan. They told me that the people there are suffering terribly, and now all they want is a peaceful and quiet environment. So, Uncle Wen took the risk to come here to meet the General and explain everything.”
“It’s not that the Northern Border wants to invade the Great Zhou, but that the Dayue Clan’s ambition is too great. They want to dominate, but the common people are suffering unbearably.”
As soon as Shen Roujia finished explaining, Gu Zhi was still somewhat incredulous, “Are you saying that the Northern Border is currently in a state of internal turmoil?”
Shen Roujia nodded seriously, “Yes, that’s right.”
Hearing this, Gu Zhi furrowed her brows tightly and turned her gaze to Wen Surong.
