Wow, this rough-around-the-edges pregnant wife is something else, she's incredibly ruthless!

"Ah."

Zhou Yan's expression was unreadable. A steaming pot of mutton was brought in from outside, and Zhou Fu took it and placed it on the table.

"It's been a long time since I've had it, I wonder what it tastes like."

With a mocking laugh, Zhou Fu then got Zhou Yan a bowl and chopsticks, and stood beside the man to serve him food.

Zhou Yan had spent many years in the North and had a special fondness for mutton hot pot.

He is the owner behind this shop.

The mutton was tender and juicy with a subtle milky aroma. As Zhou Yan ate, he lowered his eyes and whispered, "Investigate that person from earlier."

"……Yes."

Zhou Fu responded in response.

Inside the warm room, Zhou Fu continued to tell Zhou Yan about the recent situation in the Great Wei, including the situation of the Princess and Prince of Nanling.

Do you know who did it?

"I don't know yet, but the innkeeper described her as a woman with a cool and aloof appearance, who is about twenty years old."

"woman?"

Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and Meng Tong's name suddenly popped into his mind again.

He knew from the beginning that this woman was not simple.

She had no reason to kill the princes and princesses of Nanling!

Suppressing his inner thoughts, Zhou Yan continued, "Did Emperor Wei write another letter to Nanling?"

"Yes, he promised to give Lingguan City to the Khan of Nanling."

"Ha, so spineless, daring to give up such an important city as Lingguan."

A cold smile flashed in Zhou Yan's eyes; he felt both ridiculous and pathetic.

The Great Wei Dynasty will likely fall into his hands.

Remembering his plan, the man's slightly pale face tightened, and he said, "We must find them before the end of the year; Fucheng's food supply is insufficient."

"Yes."

……

Meng Tong knew nothing of Zhou Yan's plans; she was walking towards a dark alley.

She wasn't planning to stay at an inn tonight; the courtyard in the space had already been built using the woman's supernatural abilities.

There were also beds, bedding, and other items inside.

Not only is it safe and warm, but more importantly, it's not troublesome. She doesn't want to go through the mess in the capital again.

The only sound in the dark alley was the creaking of footsteps. After confirming that no one was around, Meng Tong slipped into the space.

Compared to the freezing cold outside, the space is filled with gentle breezes, sunshine, and blooming flowers.

The woman removed her thick cloak and walked straight towards the courtyard.

The courtyard is a two-story building made of wood.

The first floor mainly contains some cooking pots and other items that Meng Tong used to cook during the apocalypse, as well as a sofa.

The second floor is where she sleeps.

The woman placed the cloak on the coat rack by the entrance on the first floor, then changed into slippers and went upstairs.

During the construction process a few days ago, Meng Tong discovered the hidden skills within the space.

Things like water can appear out of thin air whenever she wants, and she doesn't know exactly where they come from.

This just makes it easier for her to take a bath.

In the bathroom he had built himself on the second floor, Meng Tong controlled the water flow and took a shower before putting on his clean pajamas.

To be honest, ever since she was able to enter the space, her quality of life has improved dramatically.

The woman dried her wet hair using her supernatural abilities and fell into a deep sleep on the soft blankets.

……

The next day.

Because he had made an appointment with someone yesterday, Meng Tong got up early, washed up in the space, put on a thick cloak, and left the space.

Last night, the northern border was covered in heavy snow. The snow was so deep that one could sink up to one's boots with a single step. Meng Tong walked out following the tracks he had taken the night before.

We walked through the narrow alleys to the main road of the North, where a blanket of white snow swallowed up all evidence of the previous night's commotion.

The woman's footprints are the freshest.

The woman walked towards the restaurant she remembered, a distance of less than a few hundred meters, which took her a quarter of an hour.

"Miss, you're here so early! Our manager hasn't even gotten up yet!"

The waiter, who was sweeping snow at the door, saw Meng Tong standing there and quickly put down his broom and came over.

"Do you want me to help the girl? The ground is slippery."

"No need, I'll go inside and wait."

"Hey! I'll go to the backyard and call the shopkeeper and tell them to prepare the car."

Seeing the woman enter the restaurant lobby, the waiter ran excitedly toward the small door on the left and then went straight into the backyard.

"Boom bang bang."

"Who!"

"Shopkeeper, the girl you asked me to send last night has arrived."

Just as he opened his blurry eyes, the shopkeeper heard the waiter's voice at the door, and only when he heard Meng Tong's arrival did he truly come to his senses.

"Hiss... You're here so early."

Shivering, the shopkeeper got up and put on a thick coat, covering his wife up tightly.

"Why did you get up so early today, my husband?"

"Take a girl to the venue. The prince and his entourage will be arriving soon, so remember to treat them well."

"okay."

The woman appeared to be in her early thirties and had a rather dignified appearance. Upon hearing the task assigned by her husband, she nodded and then shrank back under the covers.

Dressed neatly, the shopkeeper went out and followed the waiter to the main hall.

At this moment, Meng Tong was chatting with a boy who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old.

I originally wanted to find out who owned the restaurant, but I didn't expect this guy to be so tight-lipped.

Before she could get any answers, the woman heard a sound coming from behind her.

Then she turned around and saw the shopkeeper walking towards her with a smile on his face.

"The young lady has arrived so early."

"I woke up early today, I hope I've disturbed you, shopkeeper."

"No, no." The man quickly waved his hand and beckoned the waiter behind him to come over and ask, "Is the carriage ready?"

"Yes, it's ready, but the snow is thick from last night's snowfall, so the carriage will probably be slow."

"Then let's use sleds!"

"it is good."

The waiter went to the backyard again, and the shopkeeper told Meng Tong to wait a little longer.

The woman sat in the chair and nodded, feeling quite curious about the sled he had mentioned.

……

Four majestic snow wolves ran across the snow, pulling a sled draped with a cloak behind them, with a waiter sitting inside as they ran towards the restaurant.

"Shopkeeper, the sleigh is ready. You and the girl can set off now."

"Coming, coming, please, young lady."

"Well, thank you."

After getting up and following the innkeeper out of the restaurant, Meng Tong immediately spotted four snow wolves.

He has a tall and imposing figure, and you can tell at a glance that he is very powerful.

"Don't be afraid, young lady. Please sit here. I'll sit in front."

"it is good."

After getting on the sled behind the snow wolf, the innkeeper was right in front of Meng Tong.

It has windproof capes on both sides, which is quite novel to be honest.

After sitting down, they held a rope in their hands for safety, and then the innkeeper began to urge the snow wolf forward.

With the snow piled up so thick, the sleds sped forward effortlessly.

A strong wind whistled against my face, and in just a few minutes we were out of the city.

As Meng Tong headed towards the place the shopkeeper had mentioned, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Your Highness, Uncle Yan has left the city."

"Hmm, did they say why?"

On the city wall, Zhou Yan and Zhou Fu were admiring the scenery and discussing matters.

Unexpectedly, they encountered the two people who had left the city.

"I heard him say last night that a woman wanted to buy live sheep and cattle, and in large quantities."

"Oh~."
