After finishing the last tune, Lu Zheng put down his zither, stood up, and opened his arms wide, saying, "Your Highness, we will surely win!"
Gu Xin rushed over and hugged Lu Zheng, saying, "Yes, we will definitely win!"
She buried her face in Lu Zheng's chest, sobbing softly, and then burst into loud sobs.
The last time she cried so hard was after she got drunk on her coming-of-age ceremony. A year has passed since then. There was no embrace, no suitable setting for her to hold someone and cry so unrestrainedly.
Although the occasion wasn't quite right, she just couldn't help herself.
She hugged Lu Zheng's waist, buried her face in his chest, and felt very safe surrounded by his scent.
Once a person relaxes, all their vulnerabilities will be fully exposed.
Lu Zheng gently patted Gu Xin's back: "My little girl, cry it out, let all your unhappiness out. I'm back."
Gu Xin really cried her heart out, her tears and snot covering Lu Zheng's body.
Gu Hui and the other two quietly returned to their room, avoiding any unpleasantness, and went to pick up the dog food to eat.
As for the others in the City Lord's Mansion, the soldiers of the Great Zhou knew that General Zhou and Miss Gu were in love, while the Liusha Army also knew about General Zhou. Last year, he went to the Yunhai Palace as an inside agent, causing a lot of trouble and resulting in many losses for the Yunhai King, as well as spreading a lot of news.
As far as the Quicksand Army is concerned, as long as their princess is happy, it doesn't matter whether they are from the east or the west. Of course, if anyone dares to treat the princess badly, the armies from both the east and the west will join forces to annihilate them!
After Gu Xin cried, she felt much better.
Lu Zheng took a handkerchief and wiped Gu Xin's tears and snot, shaking his head and laughing, "Tsk tsk, this is the first time I've ever seen a princess cry like this. Look at all that snot, it's even making such big bubbles. Your princess from the Quicksand is so down-to-earth!"
Gu Xin angrily slapped Lu Zheng: "You're laughing at me! I'm going back to tell my parents and sister!"
Lu Zheng chickened out: "No, no. I wasn't laughing at you. Our Xinxin, even when she cries, even when she's crying with snot bubbles coming out of her nose, she's still the prettiest girl. No matter what, she's the best. Sigh, tell me, where in this world can you find a girl as good as my little girl?"
Gu Xin laughed, then took Lu Zheng's arm and wiped the tears and nose off her face.
Then I was very satisfied.
Lu Zheng was amused by her childish actions. It's okay, as long as my little girl likes it.
At this moment, Bai Si returned with the medicinal herbs. Gu Xin pulled Lu Zheng down from the roof and went to prepare the medicine for Gu Yingxue.
Then Lu Zheng was scrutinized by Gu Huijing, the princess, and He Sanniang.
Lu Zheng: "...Ladies, what's going on here...?"
Gu Hui: "Let's see if you've lost your virginity!"
Princess Jinghe: "I heard that Ajir entrusted the entire princess's residence to you. You really didn't use your good looks to seduce me?"
He Sanniang: "General Zhou, with your looks, you're good for anything! We can't think of any other method you used besides the 'handsome man' trick."
Lu Zheng's pupils widened in fright: "Three sisters, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Where did this 'handsome man trap' come from? Absolutely not. My appearance is really not what Western women look for. They like tall, strong, and skilled men. In the hearts of the Yunhai people, I'm just a weak Eastern man who can make money and manage things, but can't even kill a chicken. Really, I promise!"
