Wen Surong laughed and said, “Hahaha, yes, we finally don’t have to worry about anything anymore.”
Shen Roujia was also infected by their hearty laughter, and she covered her mouth, laughing along with them.
The next day, Gu Zhi was the last to know that Shen Roujia was leaving.
When Shen Roujia was dressed in Northern Border attire, Gu Zhi rushed over, “Jiaojiao, what are you doing?”
Shen Roujia gently embraced Gu Zhi’s shoulders and slowly replied, “Zhi Zhi, you have to take care of yourself. When you return to the capital, there will be many things to do. I also need to go and be true to myself.”
Shen Roujia had thought about it. She would find a place where no one knew her and quietly wait for the story to end. This way, when the story concluded, perhaps there wouldn’t be too many regrets.
As long as this conflict ended, everything would be over.
Xiao Sinian would ascend to the throne, and Gu Zhi would become the first female general of Great Zhou.
The two would support each other and slowly bring peace to the world.
When Shen Roujia thought of this, she couldn’t help but feel some regret, but she figured she probably wouldn’t see that day.
Shen Roujia didn’t show much of her emotions to everyone.
She smiled and patted Gu Zhi’s shoulder, then playfully spun in a circle, “Look, do I look like a princess of the Northern Border?”
Shen Roujia wore a sapphire-blue headscarf, with bells and gems hanging from her waist. It seemed Wen Surong had gone to great lengths to care for his newly found daughter.
Gu Zhi seemed to understand Shen Roujia in that brief moment.
“Take care of yourself when you’re there. If there’s anything wrong or anything you’re unhappy with, just let me know.” 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
As Gu Zhi spoke, she handed a cage covered with black cloth to Shen Roujia, “This is a homing pigeon I raised. It can fly a thousand miles a day, enough for us to keep in touch.”
Shen Roujia accepted it gratefully, “Alright.”
Wen Surong also handed two falcons to Gu Zhi, “The rest will depend on the circumstances. Many things cannot be resolved in a short time.”
Gu Zhi naturally understood what Wen Surong meant. Even if they worked from the inside, Wen Surong would first need to establish a firm foothold in the Northern Border for the timing to be right.
“Uncle Wen, Brother Tu Lie, please take good care of her.”
Wen Surong nodded seriously, “We will.”
