Gu Si originally wanted to go together, but her eldest sister went to find her third sister with her brother-in-law, her second sister and Hanhan went to the capital to work for the court, and even Yiyi left. She had more and more things to do.
Gu Si cried and had no choice but to stay in Kuncheng with Gu Yingxue.
Gu Si linked arms with Gu Yingxue: "Xue'er, thank goodness I have you! Otherwise, I would be all alone as a young girl."
Gu Yingxue sighed: "Sisi, actually, I don't want to stay either, but my maternal grandfather is adamant that I won't leave, he won't even allow me to go to my parents' place in Linzhou!"
Gu Si: "..."
Okay, just like me, I'm physically in Cao Cao's camp but my heart is with Han!
...
On the tenth day of the sixth month, the emperor's decree came down, promoting Peng Ze to the rank of Third-Rank Valiant General, and Gu Hui, Princess Jinghe, and He Sanniang to the rank of Fifth-Rank Deputy Generals, leading 10,000 elite soldiers, along with medicinal herbs and provisions, by sea to the Kingdom of Liusha.
At the same time, the emperor also promoted Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu's ranks and conferred upon Gu Xin the title of Princess Fukang, a first-rank official.
These matters have not yet been announced to the world. After all, the emperor is also having a headache. He has not yet rounded up all the people that King Qu left in the Great Zhou, but the imperial edict has been issued, and this is recorded.
The 10,000 elite soldiers that Peng Ze selected were from the group that Lu Zheng had led back then.
These 10,000 soldiers first set off to wait at the coast of Linzhou Prefecture, while Peng Ze and the others still needed to go to Chunnan City to report the situation to the Empress Dowager.
After Gu Xin left, the Empress Dowager's health-preserving pills should have been gone. However, Gu Nian knew the ingredients Gu Xin used and, after consulting with Grandma Xiao, managed to set aside the necessary jade beads to make health-preserving pills specifically for the Empress Dowager, Grandpa Gu, and Grandma Gu. The reserved jade beads were enough for two years, so the Empress Dowager remained in good health.
Empress Xue, who lives in Chunnan City with the Empress Dowager, is doing very well during her pregnancy. She is almost eight months pregnant now and will give birth in mid-August. Grandma Xiao has been taking care of her here.
After seeing Peng Ze and learning that Gu Xin was doing well, the Empress Dowager was relieved.
She handed over the Buddhist prayer beads she had worn for decades to Gu Hui, asking Gu Hui to give them to Gu Xin later, saying that they would bring her peace and safety.
Gu Hui wasn't jealous at all; Xin Xin deserved it.
After spending two years in Chunnan City, Peng Ze and his group headed to Linzhou after Uncle Gu bid them a reluctant farewell and packed several truckloads of various dried fruits and goods into their car.
Uncle Gu repeatedly warned you, "You brats, you're not allowed to eat Xin Xin's food. These cartloads are all for my Xin Xin; she hasn't even had any yet. If she complains about a little less when she comes back, I'll beat you up!"
Gu Hui was speechless. Did her father still think they were all children? Apart from Niannian who used to snatch food from Xinxin, who else in the family had ever snatched food from her?
Uncle Gu seemed to see through Gu Hui's thoughts and said with great pride, "The things your father makes are so delicious that anyone would want to eat them. How can they compare to other things? Hmph!"
They arrived at the coast of Linzhou Prefecture on June 14th.
Five boats were moored along the coast; three were for carrying people, and the other two were for carrying supplies.
They set off on the evening of June 14th.
The group of people from the Flowing Sand Kingdom who came with Peng Ze earlier, although they didn't stay in Kunzhou for more than a few days, also fell in love with this place.
This place is completely different from theirs. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the food is delicious, and even the clothes are colorful.
They loved this living environment and were all incredibly enthusiastic. In order to live in such a place, they were determined to fight the Yunhai tribe when they returned.
