Cheng Huaijin and Peng Erlang shook their heads with smiles.
“Xin Xin, I just saw that the enemy’s later general looked like Bai Er, is that right?” Peng Erlang suddenly asked.
"Brother Peng, you have a good eye! It's Bai Er. Last time when we killed the eldest prince of Yunhai, it was Bai Er who led the Yunhai army back in the end. I heard that Bai Er's current status is second only to the most capable generals by their king and queen's side," Gu Xin said proudly.
"Didn't you say last time that Brother Yuan was planning to bring them back?" Cheng Huaijin asked.
"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you about this. Brother, Yuanyuan said we need to wait for the right opportunity. Don't worry, Yuanyuan is the smartest, he'll definitely be able to bring Bai Er and the others back safely. Maybe when we're fighting to the death, Yuanyuan and Bai Er will suddenly betray us and catch Yunhai off guard! Hahaha..." Gu Xin said with a smile.
“Ah Yuan is pretty good. I heard from my older brother that Ah Yuan is even better at pretending than Bai Er and the others. He was almost seen through,” Peng Erlang chimed in.
“Second Brother Peng, it’s different. Yuan Yuan had to learn to read people’s expressions from a young age, but Brother Da’s husband didn’t need to. Yuan Yuan’s stepmother is very mean. If he didn’t know how to read people’s expressions, he and his sister would be in big trouble. But Brother Da’s husband is a little tyrant in the whole of Kuncheng. A person’s childhood experiences shape them, and you can’t learn them.” Gu Xin explained.
She didn't know that Lu Zheng had a past life experience, an experience of facing two emperors and the entire court of officials.
...
Gu Xin rested in Gorz for two days, then went to the Gorz capital and returned to the Flowing Sand Kingdom with Gu Hui and the others.
Prince Shalin, along with Helian Yi, Peng Erlang, and Cheng Huaijin, discussed leaving 30,000 troops of the Great Zhou army in Shalin and Gaozi respectively, while the rest would follow Peng Erlang to Liusha Kingdom.
According to the analysis, the Flowing Sand Kingdom will be the primary target of the Cloud Sea Tribe, and the death of the Cloud Sea Queen may also make Gorz a major target.
In any case, the three parties should form a united front. No matter where Yunhai fights, everyone should stay in touch, and the other two parties must provide timely reinforcements.
If Yunhai doesn't take action, then after a month of rest, the three parties will take the initiative to attack.
They are determined to take over Yunhai within six months.
It's already November, half a year, which means that Gu Xin will be able to return to Da Zhou by the middle of next year at the latest.
On her way back to Liusha from Gorz, her hands no longer hurt.
On the way back, she followed Gu Yingxue, wanting to be closer to Xiaoyu.
That year's parting was probably something neither of them imagined would be a permanent separation.
"Xue'er, now it's just the two of us. Tell me, do you plan to stay by Xiaoyu's side from now on?" Gu Xin nudged Gu Yingxue in the carriage and asked.
"I don't know." Gu Yingxue shook her head, looked at the urn, and said, "I will definitely take good care of Yun-ge'er."
"Why didn't my father and Grandpa Peng send troops to Langge to rescue Xiaoyu back then? Do you know the reason?" Gu Xin asked again.
“It has nothing to do with my second uncle and maternal grandfather. How should I put it? Actually, I was a variable. If I hadn’t sneaked into my maternal grandfather’s courtyard, and the spies from Langge Kingdom thought I had witnessed him changing his face and kidnapped me, everything would have gone smoothly. I’m sorry to my sister. They had already made arrangements, and Xie Nanfeng and the others did a good job, but it was all because of me… So, Yun-ge’er is a responsibility I can’t escape in this lifetime.” Gu Yingxue said firmly, her eyes glistening with tears.
