Peng Ze followed Lu Zheng to the bottom of the well.
The well wasn't very big; you could stretch out your limbs and climb up. There was no moss or other growing plants around it, so people must have been coming and going frequently.
Like Lu Zheng, Peng Ze thought of a possibility: this well might not only connect to the Great Zhou.
Soon, Lu Zheng climbed to the well opening, paused for a moment to stop the commotion outside, then pushed aside the wooden plank blocking the well opening and climbed up.
It was broad daylight outside; judging by the sun, it must have been noon. They had been walking for a day and a night since they blasted the stones blocking the road yesterday morning.
This well belongs to a family's yard, but judging from the scene, no one lives here anymore.
It's raining here, and apart from the wet mud, there aren't even any footprints on the ground, let alone tire tracks.
Lu Zheng walked out of the courtyard and looked around. The surroundings were desolate. The mountains were not high. To the west was an endless expanse of yellow sand, to the north were piles of rocks, to the south were some withered grass, and to the east was a forest.
Lu Zheng walked into the woods.
He saw people herding sheep to the north in the forest. Judging from their clothes, they should be from the Sand God Kingdom. There were also some spices in the forest, which he had seen in the Kuncheng trading area before.
Lu Zheng crept over quietly, knocked out the woman and child who were with him, and then pointed his sword at the man: "Where in the Sand God Kingdom is this?"
The man was so frightened that he immediately knelt down: "Yes, it's the Alinna tribe."
Lu Zheng raised his hand and knocked the man unconscious, then returned to the well.
Throughout the entire process, the shepherd family did not see him.
"How was it?" Peng Ze asked as he saw him come down.
"Let's talk as we walk." Lu Zheng quickened his pace and headed back.
He has past life experiences, knows where the Alina tribe is, and knows how the Sand God Kingdom is distributed.
All he wants now is to go back and request troops to fight in the Sand God Kingdom.
Gu Xin's shoes were found in the secret passage leading to the Sand God Kingdom. After Gu Xin disappeared, the Peng family ordered guards to conduct a thorough search everywhere. Therefore, Gu Xin could only be in the Sand God Kingdom or the Izumo Kingdom, and it was impossible for her to have been sent to the Langge Kingdom.
Between the Kingdom of Sand God and the Kingdom of Langge, Xue Qianyu led his troops to guard that side.
Of course, if the shoes were a trick used by the other side to deceive them, then Gu Xin must be in Lange Kingdom. In that case, he should first destroy the Sand God and then fight Lange.
...
Inside the royal tent of the Sand God Kingdom, Gu Xin, with a large bump on her forehead, stared blankly ahead with her large, lifeless eyes.
"Father, she's gone mad. What should we do? If the King of Langge finds out she's gone mad, our plan will fail!" The eldest prince of the Sand God Kingdom nudged Gu Xin with his finger. Gu Xin didn't move for a long time before letting out a silly laugh.
"Is she really stupid?" The King of the Sand God Kingdom looked at Gu Xin, his brows furrowed. "This has nothing to do with us. The King of the Lang Kingdom had someone bring her here, and she's like this now that she's in our hands. Just feed her well and take good care of her. When the people from the Lang Kingdom come, we'll have an explanation. She's like this since she arrived here."
"Father, may I bring her into my tent?" The eldest prince of the Sand God Kingdom gave a wicked smile.
"Don't cause any injury!" The king of the Sand God Kingdom didn't stop him, but only gave him instructions.
"Alright!" The eldest prince of the Sand God Kingdom picked up Gu Xin and headed towards his tent.
He'd never seen such a beautiful woman before. What a pity, he's become a fool. But fools are more fun!
