Gu Shouxin was also somewhat surprised when he saw Xie Nanfeng.
He truly never imagined that the dissolute playboy who once plotted to steal their family's recipe could return safely despite the heavy security in Lange Kingdom.
It seems Lu Zheng's judgment of people was indeed correct!
I don't know what this kid did in his past life to earn Lu Zheng's respect and manage to change a spoiled brat.
Xie Nanfeng explained the situation.
He couldn't be sure if Cheng Huaiyu was trustworthy, but as long as there was any doubt, he had to let the Great Zhou know.
"You mean, Cheng Huaiyu was locked up in a house outside the palace by Peng Mu?" Gu Shouxin asked, frowning as he looked at the drawing Cheng Huaiyu had made.
"Yes. Second Uncle, I've inquired about it. They all say the prince is hiding a beautiful woman of low status. The king doesn't allow her to enter the palace, so the prince has to keep her hidden outside. From the first day I saw them, I had people keep an eye on them. Indeed, no one comes out of that house, and Peng Mu has only been there once," Xie Nanfeng said.
"Someone, go and invite Old Master Peng and General Peng over. Oh, and also, invite Huihui along." Gu Shouxin ordered someone to go and invite them.
They also had food prepared for Xie Nanfeng.
After the group arrived and learned about the situation in Langge Kingdom from Xie Nanfeng, Gu Shouxin and General Peng jointly wrote a memorial, which was sent to the capital by express courier.
Xingnan Kingdom was the only northern country that had previously maintained friendly relations and traded with Da Zhou. Unexpectedly, it has now also made contact with Langge Kingdom.
How exactly to do it depends on the Emperor.
Moreover, half of the soldiers from Yunzhou who were stationed in the north were sent to Kunzhou. If they were to fight Xingnan Kingdom now, both sides would suffer heavy losses, and the Great Zhou might even be defeated.
It must be said that Xie Nanfeng's letter was delivered at a very timely time.
When Gu Shouxin and Old Master Peng jointly submitted a memorial to the emperor, the ruler of Xingnan Kingdom, having believed what Langge Kingdom had said, finally decided to test the waters and see if the Great Zhou had concentrated all its troops in Kunzhou.
Just then, the emperor received the memorial and immediately dispatched people to Yunzhou, ordering the Yi family, the garrison commander of Yunzhou, to conduct a large-scale military exercise in the border city. Even if I don't have many men, I'll still make it look like I have a strong army.
As expected, the ruler of Xingnan Kingdom was a coward to begin with. Seeing that the Yi family's garrison commander in Yunzhou was still as arrogant and domineering as before, he completely gave up and didn't even consider coming to test the waters.
Xie Nanfeng had made a contribution, and at the end of May, he was sent to Lange Country again.
This time, he also brought a lot of news. As it stands, the current military strength of Langge Kingdom is not a threat, but the Yunhai Tribe has already sent troops to be stationed in Langge Kingdom. If Kunzhou attacks rashly, it will not be able to achieve a decisive victory and will have to wait.
...
Meanwhile, in the Kingdom of Flowing Sands, Gu Xin and her group encountered their first crisis.
The eldest prince of the Yunhai tribe discovered that the deaths of his subordinates were not due to the sand pirates, but to the Liusha Kingdom, which wanted to bring all the sand pirates under its control.
These messages were brought back by the group that chased Han and Mo Fei. They couldn't be sure if it was the Flowing Sand Kingdom. Some of them knew that Han and Mo Fei were from the Salon Gang, so they initially thought of the Sand Bandits. Later, when they arrived at the Salon Gang's stronghold, they discovered that the people had already defected to the Flowing Sand Kingdom. They took the opportunity to recruit a group of Sand Bandits who were at odds with the Salon Gang, which also pointed to the movements of the Flowing Sand Kingdom.
Therefore, Princess Agil, the ambitious younger sister of the eldest prince, plans to personally lead an expedition against the Kingdom of Quicksand.
This message was relayed back by Lu Zheng through Ali.
Gu Xin and her group were already prepared.
