Gu Shouxin's reply was very simple. He talked about the current defenses of Kuncheng and how the Peng family had been training their troops diligently for the past year, gathering all the troops of the Great Zhou and training them to the point of exhaustion.
The letter also stated that if Lange sent its full force to attack, it might achieve a Pyrrhic victory, but sending only a portion would only result in defeat.
This person was unaware that the Yunhai tribe had sent an army of 150,000 to Langge.
Therefore, Gu Shouxin also advised in the letter that if possible, they should avoid fighting and wait for reinforcements from the west. After all, the western troops were tall and strong, and their chances of winning were greater. Even if they lost, it wouldn't be their own people who would lose.
The man in white shook his head: "Lord Gu really knows how to instigate!"
Gu Shouxin rolled up the note and put it into the small bamboo tube on the carrier pigeon's leg.
The man in white carried the carrier pigeons outside and released them.
...
Xie Nanfeng rested in Kuncheng for four days before returning to Langge Kingdom with Gu Shouxin's mission.
The plan was perfect, but on the very day Xie Nanfeng returned, something happened to the Peng family.
Gu Yingxue usually lives at the Peng family's house. She is Peng Yizhu's daughter, and in the eyes of the Peng family, she is the same as Cheng Huaiyu. They were good to Cheng Huaiyu before, and now they are even better to Gu Yingxue.
Moreover, Gu Yingxue has always regarded herself as Peng Yizhu and Gu Qingyuan's biological daughter. The maternal grandfather and uncles of the ancient Peng family look quite similar to those in modern times, and she is very close to them.
She was more lively and cheerful than Cheng Huaiyu, and naive to the ways of the world, which made everyone in the Peng family adore her, especially Grandpa Peng. Who wouldn't love such a cute granddaughter?
Early that morning, she went to find General Peng and had breakfast with him.
As a result, when she arrived at General Peng's courtyard, she noticed a suspicious figure. She knew that the Peng family had spies planted by Langge Wang. Since she was not good at martial arts, she did not intend to follow him. Instead, she went to find someone she could trust. However, her movements were discovered.
Before she could go to someone she trusted, someone covered her mouth from behind and knocked her unconscious.
When she woke up, she was locked in a closet and could hear voices outside. Was it Uncle Lin?
Wasn't Uncle Lin someone close to my maternal grandfather? Why was he arresting me? Could Uncle Lin be a spy planted in the Peng family by King Lang?
Who was the other person speaking? Judging from the voice, it sounded like Uncle Fu, the eldest uncle's personal attendant.
What are they saying?
Gu Yingxue didn't hear very clearly, only vaguely hearing her master say, "Fight! Attack! Don't!"
She dared not make a sound. The people outside were clearly in cahoots, and making a sound would be useless. She could only wait until these two were gone before looking for an opportunity.
In July, Kuncheng was very hot. Gu Yingxue was stuffy in the closet, and her mouth was gagged, making her feel uncomfortable all over.
At this moment, she finally felt the danger of time travel.
Kidnapping all the time is terrifying!
If she hadn't taken any action herself and had just waited for someone to rescue her, she probably would have suffocated to death and no one would have even noticed she had disappeared.
She didn't like having maids around, and often ran between the Peng family and the Gu family. When she had nothing to do, she liked to go to the trading area by herself.
If her maternal grandfather didn't see her, he would probably assume she went to the Gu family. If the Gu family didn't see her, they would probably assume she stayed at the Peng family's house and hadn't left!
Gu Yingxue secretly vowed that she would definitely bring a personal maid with her from now on, because if she disappeared for even a moment, the maid would definitely leave.
This isn't modern times with advanced communication and cameras everywhere; this is ancient times!
If you don't want to be kidnapped without your family finding out, then you should get two maids!
Waaaaah...
