Chapter 774 - 379: Farewell_2

The merchant caravan I mentioned to you earlier hasn’t shown any activity these past few days. However, tomorrow morning, there will be a caravan from Haichuan heading toward the Capital City. I’ve arranged for you to join them; it’ll be more convenient."
Jiang Shouzhong took the map and nodded, saying: "Alright, I’ll set out tomorrow morning."
Initially planning to use the remaining time before his departure to have a proper conversation with Xiao Lingqiu, Jiang Shouzhong was caught off guard when she didn’t return all day.
Only after asking Yun Zhu did he learn that Xiao Lingqiu had gone out to survey the terrain in preparation for her upcoming battle with the Fourth Prince, Wanyan Tianyou.
Jiang Shouzhong could only sigh helplessly.
At this point, he was completely resigned—this woman wasn’t going to leave with him.
It wasn’t until late night that Xiao Lingqiu returned.
"I plan to leave with the merchant caravan tomorrow morning," Jiang Shouzhong said. "I’ve already arranged for Yun Zhu to protect your safety. After all, this place is far from peaceful."
Xiao Lingqiu glanced at the packed luggage on the table, uttered a casual "mm," and without sparing him another glance, filled the bath with hot water. Then, without saying a word, she walked behind the screen and began undressing for her bath.
