"Xin'er!"
On the border between the Great Zhou and the Kingdom of Chuyun, in the Zhou army camp, Lu Zheng woke up from a nightmare.
He was covered in sweat, his pupils were constricted, and he was clutching his chest.
He hadn't had this nightmare for several years; it was the nightmare of Gu Xin dying in the rain in his previous life.
In the period immediately following his rebirth, before he was certain that the three members of the Gu family were different, he had this nightmare almost every day.
He got out of bed, grabbed the teapot next to him, and gulped down several mouthfuls of water before he calmed down.
No, no.
Second Uncle and the others will protect Xin Xin. Bai Er and the others are also by Xin Xin's side. Xin Xin herself knows kung fu, so that kind of situation will definitely not happen again.
Lu Zheng lay down again, but this time he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep until dawn.
He decided not to sleep, got up to gather the army, and began daily communication.
He felt inexplicably panicked. Halfway there, he returned to the camp, wrote a letter, and asked his personal guard to deliver it to Gu Xin.
...
On the other side of the cave, Peng Ze and Gu Hui searched the entire mountain and tied up all the Peng family guards who had cooperated with Yin Yueli outside the cave. They were all injured and unable to escape.
Peng Ze had already recognized them; these were the twelve people Peng Liulang had brought to the capital.
Back then, Peng Liulang brought thirty people with him to the capital, and he actually gave twelve of them to Yin Yueli.
Almost all of these twelve people had foot injuries and were unable to walk.
Peng Ze had already found out that they were acting on Peng Liulang's orders to work for Yin Yueli. They only thought that Yin Yueli wanted to punish Gu Xin and wanted to hide Gu Xin in the cave to scare her.
Little did they know, Gu Xin was no longer in the cave.
The soldier who carried Gu Xin to the cave before getting injured said with certainty, "Miss Yin really did put Miss Gu San inside, and she came out after a short while. I was at the cave entrance at the time, but I couldn't go in because of my injured foot. However, when Miss Yin came out, she didn't take Miss Gu San with her."
Gu Hui kicked him directly: "Where is that person? They were in the cave. We searched the entire cave, even went down into the pool to look, but there was nothing there!"
Gu Hui was genuinely angry.
Of the Peng brothers, the first five were all good. The seventh and eighth brothers were still young and could play with Gu Ren. But the sixth brother was someone the family paid special attention to because of his health. They never expected that he could remotely control Yin Yueli to do such a thing while he was in the capital.
Peng Ze patted Gu Hui: "Huihui, calm down, let's ask slowly!"
Gu Hui shoved him across the face: "Calm down my ass! Peng Ze, it was your cousin and your younger cousin who kidnapped my sister. How am I supposed to calm down? It wasn't Peng Liulang who was kidnapped and disappeared. How do you expect me to calm down?"
Peng Ze stepped forward to comfort her, but Gu Hui pushed him away again: "If I can't find Xin Xin, I'll kill Peng Liulang and Yin Yueli to pay with my life!"
Peng Ze said in a deep voice, "Third Sister will definitely be alright; she doesn't need to be buried with you."
Gu Hui clenched her fist.
Gu Nian rode over just in time to hear this. She dismounted and walked to Gu Hui's side: "Brother-in-law, regardless of whether Xin Xin is alright or not, the Gu family will deal with Peng Liulang and Yin Yueli!"
Peng Ze frowned.
Gu Nian looked at Gu Hui, who then explained the situation.
Gu Nian's eyes darted around as she walked over to the guard whom Gu Hui had just kicked: "I'll ask you one more time, are you sure you haven't come out since Yin Yueli dragged you into the cave?"
The guard nodded.
