Gu Xin didn't know what Cheng Huaijin was thinking. She took some hemostatic medicine, applied it to Helian Yi's wounds, and then fed him pills.
She didn't feed him the jade beads; the pills were enough to save the prince's life.
After finishing all this, Gu Xin washed her hands with water from her water bag and sat down to the side: "Brother Xiao Jin, once he wakes up, we, the brother and sister from the Flowing Sand Kingdom, can start negotiating cooperation with the Goz Kingdom. With the death of the Cloud Sea Prince, the Cloud Sea army will definitely retreat and transport the prince's body back."
Cheng Huaijin nodded: "Yes, but I'm afraid they'll attack immediately after holding a funeral for the eldest prince! Even if we combine the troops of Goz with our Quicksand troops, we might not be able to withstand them."
Gu Xin shook her finger: "I have a feeling that my brother-in-law and the others should be back soon. Once they arrive with what they brought, I only need a few days to make poison mist and deliver another heavy blow to Yunhai. They won't dare to make any more moves. If they're not afraid to die and continue attacking, then we'll fight them! We have to settle things once and for all."
Cheng Huaijin was taken aback: "What if Brother-in-law Hui doesn't come back?"
Gu Xin glared at him: "Can't you think of something positive? My brother-in-law will definitely be alright, arriving safely in Da Zhou and delivering the supplies safely. But, you have a point. Let's say my brother-in-law doesn't return on time, we still have time. Let me do the math for you. It's mid-July now, and by the time they return to the Yunhai tribe from here, it will be August. The funerals for Yunhai nobles are quite grand; even if the eldest prince of Yunhai is infested with maggots, he still has to wait until mid-August for his burial. And we're only half a day's journey from here to the Kingdom of Gozi, so we have a month to make our plans. The Yunhai tribe doesn't know that we killed the people; it was Helian Yi who led his men in a sneak attack. So, their focus is on the Kingdom of Gozi. Once we've reached an agreement with the Kingdom of Gozi, we'll immediately write to Uncle Jun and ask him to send troops. See who's faster? Besides, we still have Brother Yuanyuan and Bai Er in Yunhai. Even if my brother-in-law doesn't return in time, I think we can resist. If we can also win over the Shalin tribe, that would be even better."
After careful consideration, Cheng Huaijin realized that if he put it that way, it would be feasible.
Although they did not yet know the strength of Gorz's forces, Gorz managed to hold his own in this battle.
"Xinxin, you should rest. I'll keep watch. The eldest prince of Yunhai is dead, so we shouldn't encounter Yunhai's soldiers. At most, we'll run into Goz's. Don't worry, just sleep peacefully," Cheng Huaijin said.
“Okay, I’ll only sleep for an hour. After an hour, I’ll get up and let you sleep.” Gu Xin nodded.
Then I lay down by the fire and fell asleep.
Cheng Huaijin leaned against a large rock and squinted his eyes, but even with his eyes closed, he still listened carefully to the sounds around him.
Gu Xin woke up just before dawn, and as soon as she moved, Cheng Huaijin opened his eyes.
Gu Xin rubbed her eyes and complained, "Didn't we say it would be an hour? Brother Xiao Jin, you didn't even wake me up. Are you still awake?"
Cheng Huaijin smiled and said, "I'm fine. I've stayed up for three days and three nights before, this is only one night."
Gu Xin stood up, stretched, and cracked her neck. "Fine, fine, you're amazing. I can't sleep now, so you can sleep peacefully!"
