Tangli Fried Snow

Hong Yao, on the other hand, was not so lucky. He was injured in the thigh and slashed by Zhao Wuji. When Jin Cheng's guards found him, he was already half dead. They rushed him to the clinic, and he didn't wake up until four days later. It took two whole months for his two wounds to fully heal.

After waking up, he pondered for a long time. He realized that he had not completed the task assigned by the Second Master and was now seriously injured, so he could no longer pursue the whereabouts of Miss Xue Li. He had no choice but to send a message by carrier pigeon to Jin Cheng and truthfully report the situation here.

Jin Cheng received the news five days later. He was so angry he almost tore the roof off. He had just arrived at the front lines when that little vixen escaped! It took him a full half hour to recover from his rage. It must have been Duan Jingyu's men who found her and kidnapped her. He regretted not having her by his side and for not being in Jiyue City! He was so angry that he was about to ride south on horseback, but his deputy had to persuade him to stay.

He was persuaded to dismount and finally calmed down. He was on military duty and could not go back to find her in person.

In this vast sea of ​​people, I wonder when I'll be able to find that little devil again...

Jin Cheng was helpless, but he was really upset, so he could only vent all his anger on the enemy. Whether it was because his bad luck had turned into good luck, or because he was destined to have great fortune in the west, no one knows.

He thrived on the Northwest battlefield, moving swiftly and decisively. In just a few months, he achieved numerous feats and rose from a squad leader to a captain.

Jin Cheng was unlucky in love but successful in his career. In less than two years, he became famous throughout the Northwest, achieving great military exploits and completely wiping away his previous humiliation.

Of course, that's all in the future. Right now, he's just a corporal, standing in the biting cold wind, looking south and feeling melancholy all by himself.

. . . .

Two months later, Sherry was already in the capital.

You asked her why she didn't run away?

Where to go? Can a beautiful, single woman like myself really survive alone in this cannibalistic ancient world?

Anyway, she's figured it out now; she only has two paths to choose from.

First, she needs to become strong herself. Clearly, she can't do that yet.

Second, one must either attach oneself to the strong to survive.

Although Duan Jingyu wasn't the best choice, she had no choice but to cling to him for now.

Although she was merely a tool in Duan Jingyu's hands, with her life and well-being in his grasp, everyone treated her well. They always respected and cared for her, and never made her uncomfortable, which was already very good.

Duan Jingyu went to great lengths to polish her tool, and she was also very curious about where it would be used.

It's not about making me serve men, or having endless children, or serving beautiful women. It's simple. As long as I complete the tasks he assigns, maybe he'll take pity on me and give me my freedom!

So she treated this journey as a vacation, like a self-driving tour by carriage and boat—how wonderful! Arriving in the capital was like a free, publicly funded trip.

Ha! Once you get past the psychological hurdle and are willing to do it, everything becomes simple.

Jin Qingyan's injuries had fully healed, and he even came over in person to thank her. Lin Wanjun regarded her as her savior, was extremely grateful to her, and truly treated her like a younger sister.

Another piece of good news was that Fatty hadn't died, although he was severely injured and might never be able to carry out secret missions again. However, under Zhao Wuji's meticulous care, he gradually recovered and was able to walk a few steps on his own. Bai Xue stayed by his side, never leaving his side. They had only just set off when Zhao Wuji was pleasantly surprised to find that Bai Xue's belly had grown large. It turned out she was already pregnant; Fatty was carrying an heir!

After they settled down in a secluded commercial street in the capital, Bai Xue gave birth to a litter of ferret pups in just a few days: two white, two gray, and one black, a total of five healthy babies.

Zhao Wuji shook off his gloomy mood from the previous period and happily prepared postpartum meals for Bai Xue and took care of her during her postpartum period. Fatty was also extremely excited and stayed by his wife and child's side every day. A few days later, he closed his eyes forever one morning.

Sherry was upset and secretly asked Zhao Wuji, "Brother Zhao, how long can a ferret live? Did Fatty die of natural causes?"

Zhao Wuji held Fatty and said, "Fatty's parents have lived for seven or eight years. Fatty is only two years old. I guess the injury last time left a lingering illness. It held on for several months before passing away. Maybe it couldn't bear to leave its child."

"I also delivered Fatty. He was smart and clever from a young age and was closest to me. The black one in the litter looked the most like him. He was smart, clever and lovable. I kept him by my side and trained him for a year. After that, he became my good helper, just like Fatty."

Sherry stopped talking and watched as Zhao Wuji found a lush, green hilltop to bury Fatty. He even talked to Fatty for a long time. Sherry silently prayed for Fatty, hoping that there would be no pain in heaven.

. . . .

The place they stayed at this time was still a fabric shop, with a layout similar to that of Jiyue City. The ground floor was used for small businesses, and people lived upstairs. After only a few days and four or five days of rest, Shirley was sent away.

This time, she was dressed up as a little maid. Lin Wanjun had someone make her several fake noses. The noses were very delicate, with the same texture as her skin, but slightly darker in color. Lin Wanjun taught her how to wear them on her noses, attaching them with special materials, and then covering her entire face with a slightly darker powder, deliberately drawing her features and changing their shape.

Even her hands and neck were covered in a darker shade of powder.

After this elaborate disguise, she was like a completely different person, transforming into an ordinary-looking maid.

The shape of the nose and the condition of the skin are truly the most important features of a beautiful woman. With just a few simple changes to these two areas, she can become a completely different person.

When Sherry stood there with her head down, silent, she had become utterly unremarkable, even reduced to a mere background figure and passerby.

She had a new name, Jiang Muyan.

Haha, another brand new life experience is about to begin.

She and several younger girls were arranged to be sent to the Prime Minister's residence. They lived in a large dormitory, and every day two old nannies taught them how to bow, how to speak, how to walk, and how to kneel.

It's pretty much the same as what Xiao Yanzi learned about etiquette in the palace in "Princess Pearl".

Here, you'll be trained for a month, just like in military training. Besides mastering the basics, you also need to have high emotional intelligence, be good at speaking, and be able to handle things.

Because of her good performance, Sherry was eventually allowed to stay. She and a girl named Su He were arranged to live together by the nanny, and were taught to read, keep accounts, and take inventory, among other skills, for a period of time.

Finally, one must undergo personal examination by the Prime Minister's wife. The process generally involves first and second interviews, job training, and finally, a personal meeting and interview with the boss before officially starting the job.
