On the fifth day of the ninth month, Peng Erlang led an army of 100,000 to Langge Royal City.
King Lang was furious and shocked. What a coincidence! They had only decided to set off not long ago, and the Peng family army had already attacked.
He suspected there were spies among them, but only he, Peng Mu, and General Yun Na knew about this. He could guarantee that he hadn't revealed it. Peng Mu had been under his watchful eye recently, and as for General Yun Na, they couldn't even communicate with each other, so who could he tell?
Now is not the time to investigate who the spy is; now is the time to escape.
Kuncheng can provide Peng's army with a steady stream of troops, but they can't.
So, on the night of the fifth day, King Lang led his son and daughter-in-law, along with a great deal of gold and silver, to flee west.
Cheng Huaiyu stayed by General Yun's side the whole time. She had nothing to bring with her and wasn't worried at all.
After leaving the royal city, they headed west, fleeing along the original route.
Peng Mu looked at Cheng Huaiyu nestled beside General Yunna and felt extremely bad, but there was nothing he could do; they had to live.
Gu Yingxue waited all day until Bai Yi and Bai Jiu arrived. They were sent by Gu Shouxin to protect her. As soon as they arrived, she mounted her horse and followed them.
She silently prayed that Peng Mu wouldn't find out anything, so that her sister could still live; otherwise...
...
Meanwhile, the Kingdom of Quicksand is also experiencing a major war.
Princess Agil led an army of 100,000 to attack the Flowing Sand Kingdom, where they were met by Gu Xin.
Wearing her battle robes, Gu Xin stood atop the city wall built of large stones, her eyes resolute as she watched the approaching Yunhai army in the distance.
With an army of 100,000, why didn't you bring more men?
She had already prepared the ambush below the city gate, and was just waiting to see how lethal her sister's creation was.
As a result, Agil stopped just before approaching the ambush.
Agil sensed danger, a strong sense of crisis.
Gu Xin frowned as she looked at the bright-looking woman in red battle robes not far away. If she didn't know that the Liusha Kingdom was as solid as an iron barrel, she would have suspected that someone had tipped them off.
"Bring me arrows!" Gu Xin shouted, reaching out her hand.
You're not going to fall into the trap, are you? I'll force you in!
Draw the bow, nock the arrow, aim, and fire.
call out!
Agil looked at the slender figure on the city wall, quickly drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and fired at the incoming arrow.
The two arrows collided in mid-air and then fell to the ground.
"Princess!" A soldier beside Agil called out, puzzled.
"There's an ambush ahead. Send men to pass through from the side!" Agil said in a deep voice, looking at the ground not far away.
Gu Xin, who was on the city wall, saw the enemy's actions and called over her deputy general, ordering them to go down and block the enemy, forcing them into a trap. She also gave a few instructions to another deputy general.
Gu Xin was filled with deep suspicion: how did the other party know that there was a trap there?
Soon, the two armies clashed.
Agil, observing the situation from the rear, saw that the enemy soldiers were forcing them toward what she thought was a trap. Once they reached a certain point, the enemy soldiers refused to advance any further.
Agil felt increasingly threatened.
The two sides were locked in fierce fighting, but no one noticed that after Gu Xin's deputy general left the city wall, he went to the camp and led the army on a long detour to the rear of Yun Hai's army.
Agil cursed under his breath; this was probably the time in his life he had underestimated his opponent.
She turned her horse around and went back to fight the army of the Flowing Sand Kingdom. Because of her turn, many Cloud Sea Generals followed her.
Gu Xin, standing on the city wall, smiled.
