Ling Hua immediately rose from the bathing tub, briefly wiped off the water, donned her clothes, and paced back and forth in the room, thinking of strategies.
She absolutely couldn't let Wen Xingzhi take Xiao Zhen away from the Imperial Guards to the Wen Family in Youzhou.
Once Xiao Zhen was taken by him, it would definitely not be as easy to rescue him as from Ling Mountain, where she could effortlessly save him. She would inevitably have to pay a steep price. And the price was exactly what Wen Xingzhi wanted from her.
Youzhou had always been the Wen Family's territory, or rather, Youzhou was now Wen Xingzhi's territory. Although he resided in the Capital City, he had absolute control over Youzhou.
So, what should she do?
Should she leave the Capital City to intercept? Clearly impossible, not only did she lack martial skills, but she also likely couldn't move faster than Wen Xingzhi.
