Princess Xinyang broke out in a cold sweat immediately.
The feeling of being caught red-handed right after doing something wrong was truly terrifying.
The elderly woman appeared to be in her sixties or seventies, with graying hair and a very aged appearance. Her clothing looked like that of a Dongyi person, and it was patched, suggesting she was a local villager.
Lord Xuanping maintained eye contact with the old woman, and without a change in tone, he said to Princess Xinyang, "We're in Dongyi's territory, proceed with caution in everything."
Princess Xinyang responded softly with an "Okay," then asked, "What do you plan to do?"
Lord Xuanping replied, "We'll see how the situation unfolds."
If the person in front of them were a soldier, Lord Xuanping would have certainly killed them without mercy, but the person was just an ordinary villager.
The military officers of Zhan Country do not kill civilians of enemy countries.
