Chapter 860: 860 Lost Weight Again
“We can only cooperate from the inside out,” the general replied.
The others looked at him in surprise and fell silent.
This way, the spies they had hidden in the enemy’s camp would probably be unable to last. This was not a smart idea.
“I wonder if the Thousand-Faced Killer has succeeded. If she has succeeded, we can make use of her.” The deputy general sighed.
“It’s hard to say. Everyone, go down and pick a few smart and all-rounded scouts. If there’s still no way out, we can only try to capture King Ning.”
After the general finished speaking, he sent a memorial to the Emperor and asked for his opinion.
At the same time, King Ning also received a letter from the Emperor. After reading it, he was overjoyed. “That’s great. The Emperor has already invaded the Northern Continent and taken the head of their King. He will reach the capital in a few days.”
He immediately called his generals over and told them the news.
“Did the Emperor order us to attack the Western Continent?” Yan Zhiwu asked.
“No, but he asked us to prepare food and medicine.” King Ning said.
Everyone knew that there was a chance when they heard that. They rubbed their fists and got ready.
After Zhou Ying heard this, she turned to the Northern Continent. Sure enough, she found Gu Chengrui and his people stationed in their largest city besides the capital.
When she found him, he was changing the dressing of an injured person.
“You’ve lost weight again,” Zhou Ying said after Gu Chengrui finished his work and returned to his room.
Gu Chengrui paused momentarily before replying, “But you’re living a fulfilling life. How’s the family? Are you doing well?”
“Pretty good. It’s just that the Western Continent’s ambitions are a little too big.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she told him about the assassination attempt of the First Prince.
Gu Chengrui did not know what to say after hearing that.
With the First Prince’s current status, he was destined to be in constant danger. He just hadn’t expected someone to come to the palace to make a move.
He replied, “Keep a close eye on him.”
“Alright. It’s getting cold over there. What is the Emperor thinking? Does he want to fight all the way to the capital?”
“He does have this intention. He intends to assist a puppet king to ascend the throne and take the Northern Continent as a vassal state.”
“That’s pretty good. Do you need anything?”
“Give me two more sets of inner clothes. It’s too cold here. After washing clothes for a day or two, they won’t dry at all.”
“Do you want to take a bath? I’ll keep an eye on you.”
“Yes, please; I’ll take a rest tomorrow anyway.” Gu Chengrui immediately replied.
He hadn’t bathed for almost two months and felt he could get half a pound of mud off his body.
After that, he disguised himself and closed the window. He hugged his dirty clothes and said, “I’m ready.”
Zhou Ying saw this and took him in. She saw his chapped face and smiled. “Hurry up and go take a bath. Put on a facial mask later.”
“Got it. Remember to give me my clothes tomorrow morning.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he carried the dirty clothes back to the villa.
After a quick shower, he ate an apple and started washing his clothes with a washing machine.
He even took the time to go to the bedroom to check on Guoguo. Looking at his daughter, who had grown up a lot, Gu Chengrui felt a little guilty.
However, when he thought of the soldiers struggling at the border, he could only kiss Guoguo’s forehead and turn around to leave.
When his hair was dry, the clothes he washed earlier were also done drying. He immediately changed a set of inner clothes and went to the warehouse door to find Zhou Ying.
He hugged her and kissed her. “Babe, I missed you so much..”
