Kuncheng.
After dark, Xue Qianyu gathered the soldiers of the naval camp by the river.
He has selected a group of one hundred people over the past few days, and each of them was given a waterproof animal skin bag containing some survival tools.
He looked up at the sky, gave an order, and all one hundred men entered the water, creating a splash.
On this night, the gently flowing river makes it difficult to spot anyone moving in the water unless you get very close.
Xue Qianyu gave Peng Silang some instructions, then jumped into the water with his animal skin bag on his back.
Once they reached the other side, the men took off their wet underwear, changed into dry clothes, and headed towards Goddess Mountain in the direction they had agreed upon.
They've gone to deliver equipment to Gu Xin and his grandson.
I'll hide in Shennv Mountain tonight and put the things at the agreed place tomorrow night.
It's not possible to say that everyone will succeed, but at least ten must succeed. So Xue Qianyu selected one hundred people, with ten people forming a team to be responsible for one point.
While actions were underway at the foot of the mountain, on the other side, Gu Xin and his two grandsons were also taking action.
They sneaked up to the defensive wall on the mountain to get a feel for the situation before they could carry out their plan.
Despite being a grandmother, Grandma Gu is just as capable as the two young girls. She moves nimbly through the mountains and forests and can remain perfectly still when she needs to hide.
...
The Palace of the Goddess King.
Queen Dugu spent several days investigating and found out that the Tenth Princess was indeed doing something behind her back.
She knew it before, but back then she hadn't given birth to her youngest daughter, Mingyue, and Yan Mo hadn't come either. She felt that Yan Mo couldn't cause any trouble, so she didn't care.
Now that Mingyue has been born, and there's also Yan Mo, if it weren't for someone pointing out that Gu Hui was acting, she wouldn't have thought to investigate the Tenth Princess so quickly.
You wouldn't believe it until you looked it up, and what you found was quite shocking.
Good heavens, this frail woman, who didn't inherit the immense strength of the Dugu family's daughter, actually managed to unite with several powerful families behind her back.
With the support of Yan Mo's medicines from the southern border, many families who were hesitant seemed to be willing to pledge allegiance to the Tenth Princess.
She also discovered that after Yan Mo appeared, the tenth prince's ambition had swelled up. He not only wanted to become the queen of the Goddess Kingdom, but also wanted to annex the Jin Nan Kingdom, conquer the Kunzhou of the Great Zhou Kingdom and several surrounding prefectures, then take over the Chuyun and Shashen Kingdoms, and further attack the Langge Kingdom.
Queen Dugu was furious.
This idiot actually believed Yan Mo's words!
If it were so easy to attack, their ancestors would have conquered it long ago!
Queen Dugu felt a pang of regret; she regretted keeping her promise so readily!
In her youth, she obtained the throne of queen only through the help of the King of Southern Xinjiang, so she owed him a favor.
When Yan Mo, the heir apparent of the Southern Frontier, came to her, she accepted him and protected him.
Unexpectedly, this promise led her to invite trouble.
According to the ancestral teachings of the Dugu family, they should live in peace in a remote corner of the country and never wage war unless attacked by others, so as to give the people under their rule a stable life.
So many years have passed, is the legacy of our ancestors going to be ruined in her hands?
She summoned her trusted confidants and made the arrangements.
She dared not rashly deal with Yan Mo and the Tenth Princess, as half of the troops in the royal city were under their control.
Even surprise attacks didn't work; Yan Mo seemed to be on guard against her all along.
Queen Dugu regretted it; she shouldn't have agreed to that fool's marriage proposal.
She became pregnant the year before last and gave birth to a daughter last year. She neglected her political affairs and, in addition, took in Yan Mo, who had ulterior motives, which led to the current situation.
