“Father, why don’t you let me go?” Gu Nian stepped forward.
“Second Uncle, I can do it too,” Gu Hui and Princess Jinghe said at the same time.
“Lord Gu, I’m willing to go too!” He San Niang followed.
"Second Uncle, I also want to go find Third Sister." Gu Si clenched her fists and pursed her lips, her face full of determination.
"You won't do it!" Gu Shouxin denied without hesitation before Xie Zhiyi and Huo Yanyu could speak. "We've sent many people to Langge Kingdom before, but none of them have returned. We don't know anything about Langge Kingdom. Langge Kingdom is not like the Goddess Kingdom. If you go there, you might be recognized."
"The second brother is right," Grandpa Gu said in a deep voice. "It's not advisable for any of you to go. We need to send someone else to deliver the message to A Yuan. Besides, A Yuan may not be in Langge Kingdom. Perhaps after crossing the snow mountain, he discovered Xin Xin's whereabouts and went after her directly? So, this time, we need to send two groups of people to deliver the message to A Yuan."
“Grandpa, Second Uncle, let Peng Ze go!” Gu Hui said after a moment of silence. “Let Peng Ze go west, partly to catch up with A Yuan who may not have gone to Langge Kingdom, and partly to cross the desert to confirm Xin Xin’s safety.”
“A son-in-law is supposed to do things for our family. Xin Xin’s accident was all the fault of the Peng family. Whether it’s Yin Yue Li or Peng Liu Lang, they are both from the Peng family. So, they should send someone over!” Zhang Shi, unusually, did not speak up for her son-in-law.
You should know that when Zhang arranged the engagement between Gu Hui and Peng Ze, she often boasted about having such a son-in-law.
As it turns out, there's a bad apple in the in-laws' house!
There's a saying that's very true: "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black."
Zhang was not a bad person by nature, but she has changed a lot over the years. Under the subtle influence of Grandma Gu and Cai Xiaolian, she has come to understand what it means to share both prosperity and adversity, and that whether it is the second or fourth branch of the family, they are all one family.
"We'll have to ask Peng Ze himself about that." Gu Shouxin paused, then continued, "This time, we can only bring one person at most, especially Peng Ze. If we bring too many people, we won't even be able to get through Langge Kingdom. Xin Xin said in her letter that Langge Kingdom has cut off the east-west connection. If there are few people, it will be easier to sneak through. If there are too many people, we will definitely be exposed. If Langge Kingdom and Yunhai Tribe are ready and attack, and our Great Zhou is not prepared, Kuncheng may fall."
"Then let Xue Xiaoer go to Langge Kingdom! That kid is good, quite clever," Queen Dugu suggested.
“Yes, let Xue Qianyu go! He and A Yuan have known each other since they were little, and they have a tacit understanding.” Gu Nian felt that since they were already engaged, Xue Qianyu, as her brother-in-law, had an unshirkable responsibility to help Xin Xin.
Gu Shouxin asked Gu En to personally go to the Peng family to invite Peng Ze and General Peng over, and also asked him to go to the camp to find Xue Qianyu.
While waiting for the two of them, Queen Dugu began to draw a map. She had no intention of going to the Flowing Sand Kingdom, but she often corresponded with her twin brother, Dugu Jun. In his letters, Dugu Jun would describe the situation westward from the Lang Kingdom.
For example, how many days it takes to reach an oasis in the desert, how many tribes and small countries are scattered throughout the desert, and what precautions to take when traveling in the desert.
After the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, almost no one traveled west through the Langge Kingdom, so little was known about it.
Since Xue Qianyu and Peng Ze are to go west, everything that needs to be prepared should be prepared for them.
