1829 Protection 2

But in Snow Territory, the rules were less strict compared to other places.

The promises they made were merely empty words, reflecting their innermost thoughts.

They hoped that by handling this matter themselves, their superiors wouldn’t need to intervene.

The guard wore a smirk, waiting for Gu Chaoyan’s response.

As Gu Chaoyan listened to his words, her eyes narrowed.

So, according to him, “they are here in Snow Territory and won’t have a peaceful life as foreigners?”

Gu Chaoyan pondered over his statement.

It soon became clear to her what was happening.

So, these people believed that they had come to settle down in Snow Territory?

But…

Who had ever informed them that they were here to settle?

While she and Ouyang Mingjing had an agreement to collaborate towards their respective goals, the guards should not have been privy to this information. The hidden guards and the maids were mere companions, not intended to stay indefinitely.

In essence…

It seemed that everyone was aware that those who arrived in Snow Territory were never able to leave.

Then…

That confirmed one thing…

Her suspicion that the ambush did not arise from internal conflicts was right. They had been set up.

Ouyang Mingjing must have been involved in this scheme as well.

The guard fell silent after revealing the information. He peered at Gu Chaoyan, growing puzzled when he saw no change in her expression.

Gu Chaoyan was seething with anger inside.

Especially after hearing the guard’s words.

Under normal circumstances, she would have swiftly taught him a lesson before he even realized it.

But…

She couldn’t do it now.

Her weakened state left her devoid of energy to deal with these guards. She would wait until their superiors arrived and handle everything together.

A chilling sensation enveloped her, exacerbated by the absence of a coal basin in the servants’ camp, which only intensified the cold.

Her clothes, damp with sweat, clung to her body, further amplifying her discomfort.

But the garments failed to provide any warmth.

She remained silent, not wanting to worry Sword One and Lingyun with her current predicament.

Ouyang Mingjing entered the scene and witnessed the situation.

The guards who had sneaked out were originally targeting Longqing but unexpectedly ran into Ouyang Mingjing. They arrived at the camp together.

Ouyang Mingjing had not anticipated such a turn of events, nor had he considered how he should handle this situation.

Gu Chaoyan confronted him directly, “City Lord Ouyang, what do you mean by allowing your guards to insult my maids?”

“…..”

“We are supposed to be working together, yet you mistreat us. I don’t think we need to continue this partnership!”

“….”

“Before you talk about any deals, you better act like a decent man!”

Ouyang Mingjing fully understood her character. Other leaders might not care about the maids, but she did. Otherwise, the incident with the Acacia beans would not have occurred.

Internally, he felt an intense surge of anger.

He had invested so much effort and time in dealing with Phoenix Girl, and the agreement had finally been settled. Yet Phoenix Girl had not yet arrived in Snow Territory.
