As the commander-in-chief, Zhou Zheng, Marquis of Pingxi, was approachable and humble.

?

But Tu Er knew that the coach was not a man without temper. As long as his bottom line was touched, that person would end up in a miserable state!

?

Originally, Tu Er thought that the commander-in-chief cared most about military discipline, but now it seems that the commander-in-chief also cares about that Miss Xie.

?

He just accidentally overheard the conversation between the two, and the coach wanted to take his life.

?

Tu Er would rather die on the battlefield than die here in such a miserable way.

?

But he didn't dare say this, especially since Zhou Zheng was looking at him coldly at this moment.

?

So the next second, without waiting for Zhou Zheng to react, Tu Er ran away in a hurry.

?

"Hey, Commander, I just remembered that the deputy commander seemed to have asked me to come over. I, I won't bother you anymore."

?

As soon as he finished speaking, Tu Er turned around and ran, as if there was an evil ghost chasing him.

?

However, Zhou Zheng didn't really want to kill him, he just wanted to scare him a little.

?

He got a headache whenever he thought of Xie Xiangyu's deliberately distant attitude.

?

If possible, Zhou Zheng wished that he and Xie Xiangyu could go back to their childhood.

?

If that were the case, Xie Xiangyu wouldn't be so estranged from me...

?

Tu Er watched the commander sighing from afar. He immediately muttered, "Heroes have always been tempted by beautiful women. Even the commander can't avoid it!"

?

At the same time, he was also very interested in Xie Xiangyu's identity. He admitted that Xie Xiangyu was indeed a great beauty, but in the past many people had sent many beauties to curry favor with the coach.

?

Tu Er had seen people giving exotic beauties or graceful Yangzhou skinny horses to the commander-in-chief, but the commander-in-chief did not accept any of them.

?

Now the coach is only interested in Madam Xie. Tu Er is very curious. Madam Xie's daughter is so grown up, why does the coach still like her so much?

?

At this moment, Xie Xiangyu, who had returned to her residence, was also in a state of confusion. She could feel Zhou Zheng's intention to get close to her, but she refused cruelly and pushed him away rudely.

?

Even though she knew that it was he who saved her, Xie Xiangyu was still secretly happy in her heart.

?

However, seeing Liu Zheng's unconscious disgust towards Zhou Zheng made Xie Xiangyu very conflicted.

?

She didn't understand why Liu Zheng was so disgusted with Zhou Zheng, but since her daughter didn't like him, Xie Xiangyu naturally wouldn't go against her daughter.

?

Even though she had a lot to say to Zhou Zheng, since she knew her daughter didn't like him, Xie Xiangyu could only swallow it down and not say it.

?

But Brother Zheng is still as handsome and elegant as before, the only difference is that now he has become much more mature and stable, and there is a little more solemnity in him.

?

Maybe it’s because of the battle?

?

"Brother Zhou Zheng, I'm sorry, I have to keep my distance from you. I can't let Liu Zheng be sad."

?

Xie Xiangyu apologized in a low voice, even though the person she was apologizing to would never know.

?

Upon learning that Xie Xiangyu had returned, Xie Liuzheng hurried over and asked, "Mother, what did Pingxi Hou say? Where are they going? Is it convenient for us?"

?

After hearing her daughter's voice, Xie Xiangyu realized that she was so sad that she forgot about this matter.

?

But Xie Xiangyu couldn't say it directly, so she stammered, "Well, he said it seemed to be on the way..."

?

Anyway, what Zhou Zheng meant just now was that the route could be adjusted temporarily and it would be okay to send them to Penglai.

?

Xie Xiangyu wasn't lying.

?

But at that time she just wanted to run away, and she was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would lose control and break down.

?

God knows how much she wants to throw herself into her brother's arms and act like a spoiled child like she did when she was a child...

?

But now the identities and status of the two are completely mismatched. No, it should be said that from the beginning to the end, the two were not a good match.

?

Thinking of this, Xie Xiangyu lowered her eyes.

?

Seeing her mother like this, Xie Liuzheng felt very uncomfortable, but she didn't know that her mother mistakenly thought that she disliked Zhou Zheng, so she deliberately distanced herself from him.

?

If she knew, she would be speechless.

?

But at this moment Xie Liuzheng just thought that her mother was sad about the past and in a bad mood, so she accompanied her mother to talk about happy things.

?

Xie Xiangyu forced herself to cheer up and chatted and laughed with her daughter for a while.

?

In the end, Xie Liuzheng saw that she was tired and offered to let her rest, then she got up and left.

?

After her daughter left, Xie Xiangyu couldn't help crying and curled up in her quilt, crying silently.

?

She hadn't cried for many years, except when her father died, when Xie Liuzheng cried bitterly.

?

Now she started crying again because of Zhou Zheng.

?

Xie Liuzheng didn't know that her mother was in a state of despair and crying at the moment. She was planning the purchase of Penglai alone in her room, because because of this accident, they didn't have much time left.

?

If the Xie family is unable to deliver the goods on time and cannot pay compensation after five days, those customers will most likely not cooperate with the Xie family in the future.

?

Xie Liuzheng was very sure that the mastermind behind the scenes would not miss this great opportunity and would give the Xie family a severe blow.

?

Therefore, Xie Liuzheng had to get the source of goods, but it was very difficult to transport them from Penglai to Yangzhou City in such a short time.

?

What's more, Xie Liuzheng was worried that the journey would not be peaceful. What if the other party made trouble again, or some bandits came to rob, then the silk would not be successfully delivered to the merchants.

?

Thinking of this, Xie Liuzheng felt a headache.

?

She didn't know what to do to transport the silk back to Yangzhou smoothly. If it was transported by water, silk was not afraid of water, but if that person tampered with the ship again, all the silk would fall into the sea, and the quality would definitely be affected.

?

If they went by land, Xie Liuzheng would be worried about bandits or robbers arranged by that person.

?

For a moment, Xie Liuzheng couldn't think of a good solution, mainly because she didn't have a reliable escort...

?

Suddenly Xie Liuzheng thought of Tu Er's words. The other party once said that the Pingxi Marquis was his commander-in-chief. Then they were all warriors who had been baptized by the battlefield, so escorting the silk should not be a problem?

?

Thinking of this, Xie Liuzheng came up with a plan, although she was not sure whether the Marquis of Pingxi would agree to her.

?

But she felt that the other party had no reason to refuse. After all, he was her mother's childhood sweetheart, and he would not refuse such a small favor.

?

In addition, Xie Liuzheng felt that this was actually Marquis Pingxi atonement. After all, Xie Liuzheng knew very well that the mastermind behind the scenes that he had to be wary of was none other than the daughter of Marquis Pingxi!

?

So Xie Liuzheng felt no burden in using him.

?

A son pays for his father's debts. In Xie Liuzheng's opinion, the Marquis of Pingxi is paying off his father's debts as a daughter!

?

Thinking of this, Xie Liuzheng stood up to look for Zhou Zheng, but after searching the entire boat, he couldn't find anyone.

?

Just as she was wondering whether Marquis Pingxi had left quietly, she suddenly heard voices outside her mother's room.

?

Xie Liuzheng immediately recognized it as the voice of the Marquis of Pingxi.
