My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Mr. Zhou noticed the curiosity in Cheng Guang's eyes but didn't seem inclined to explain.

Instead, he regarded Cheng Guang thoughtfully.

"Town-Nation Duke's Heir, you've asked me many questions. Isn't it time you allowed me to ask some of my own?"

Mr. Zhou said with a smile.

Cheng Guang, upon hearing this, first blinked in surprise before coming to a realization.

It seemed that Mr. Zhou's willingness to answer his questions was not due to a particularly amiable nature, nor was he eager to communicate with Cheng Guang.

It was simply because Mr. Zhou was also curious about Cheng Guang himself.

Cheng Guang picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then looked at Mr. Zhou before saying:

"How should I address you?"

Mr. Zhou laughed and said, "You may call me Mr. Zhou. Let's not bother with a common name."

Cheng Guang, upon hearing this, became even more certain of Mr. Zhou's identity. He nodded slightly and then said:

"I don't know what Mr. Zhou wishes to inquire about, but please feel free to ask directly."

Mr. Zhou gave a slight nod and was about to speak when he suddenly seemed to notice something, raising his eyebrows slightly and casting a glance with the corner of his eye towards the distance.

At the outskirts of Hundred Mile City, dust clouds scattered.

The sound of horse hooves stirred the ground, reverberating like drums.

Many strong riders approached, their powerful Qi and Blood converging, forming a great furnace capable of igniting heaven and earth.

Such commotion quickly attracted the attention of those within Hundred Mile City as well as the forces of Great Yuan.

Countless eyes turned towards the newcomers.

Inside Hundred Mile City,

there were shouts of excitement from the soldiers.

"It's the Crown Prince, leading the reinforcements!"

"Hundred Mile City can be held now!"

Compared with the cheers from within Hundred Mile City,

the faces of the many Yuan Army soldiers across the canyon rift, were not looking too good.

The stubborn resistance of Great Zhou and Hundred Mile City had exceeded their expectations.

They had assumed that in no more than seven days, they could break through Hundred Mile City and charge directly into the interior of Great Zhou. However, during these seven days, countless armies had unexpectedly rallied from all directions.

Did Great Zhou have so many armies readily available for deployment?

Countless warriors of Great Yuan were in disbelief!

It was not just the numerous warriors of Great Yuan who were in disbelief!

Wu Mengde was also finding it hard to believe!!

Wu Mengde looked towards Hundred Mile City, where dust and smoke filled the air. As the dark figures drew nearer, he could clearly see that these imposing silhouettes were none other than the powerful warriors of Great Zhou.

The one leading them,

was a woman.

She wore dazzling gold armor, radiating majesty and solemnity.

While the woman's cultivation might not have been particularly strong, Wu Mengde found her identity quite intriguing.

"The Crown Prince of Great Zhou."

"A woman."

"To be able to mobilize such forces, such military power, to Hundred Mile City to confront Great Yuan in such a short time, with such decisiveness, I fear that many men in the world could not compare to her."

Wu Mengde furrowed his brows and murmured in admiration, but his fierce face betrayed deep concern.

Great Yuan was engaged in a prolonged warfare.

If they could capture Hundred Mile City quickly, turning it into a spear to thrust directly into Great Zhou's heartland, they would not only reap great rewards but even have the chance to completely eradicate Great Zhou and relegate it to history.

But now, Mr. Zhou was unwilling to make a move, and the Crown Prince of Great Zhou had come to the frontline with reinforcements. Surely Great Yuan would not return empty-handed?

As these thoughts crossed Wu Mengde's mind, his expression darkened.

His gaze swept around, searching for Mr. Zhou's figure.

Before long,

Wu Mengde saw him.

Aboard the deck of a massive Flying Boat above Hundred Mile City,

Wu Mengde saw the figure in the green robe, enjoying tea with an exceptionally handsome young noble.

Seeing this, seeing such a scene,

Wu Mengde's eyes bulged with rage to the point of nearly bursting.

"What is Mr. Zhou doing?"

"Why is he sitting there, having tea with people from Great Zhou? He wasn't willing to make a move earlier, claiming the time wasn't right."

"With Great Zhou's reinforcements now arriving, what more does he wait for? Does he wish to wait until Great Yuan is exhausted and forced to retreat?"

Wu Mengde suppressed the anger within him and growled.

The warriors of Great Yuan at Wu Mengde's side couldn't help but speak up: "Your Highness, although Mr. Zhou discussed with His Majesty and expressed his willingness to strike against Great Zhou on our behalf, Mr. Zhou is not one of our people after all."

"Perhaps, he never intended to help us from the start, and this is all part of his scheme...?"

Hearing this, Wu Mengde shook his head and immediately retorted, "Nonsense about a scheme."

"If I were deceived, then so be it, but it's not so easy to deceive my father, the Emperor."

"Nowadays, most Sky-Men have vanished from the world, and among the rulers of the four great dynasties, only Empress Wei of Great Wei is a Sky-Man. It is indeed the best time for Great Yuan's prosperity."

"It's precisely because my father indeed has no intention to act, and if it weren't for Mr. Zhou's arrival, my father would probably have continued to observe for a while longer."

"Now that my father has heeded Mr. Zhou's advice and even allowed Mr. Zhou to come to our aid, it means we can trust Mr. Zhou."

As Wu Mengde spoke, he frowned again, as though with a headache, and expressed his confusion:

"I just don't understand."

"I don't understand why Mr. Zhou won't make a move, I don't grasp when the 'right time' he speaks of will come, and I can't comprehend why, at such a critical moment, Mr. Zhou would fraternize with the Town-Nation Duke's Heir of Great Zhou."
