Lu Zheng's team included Gu Hui, Princess Jinghe, He Sanniang, and Xie Zhiyi.
Xie Zhiyi felt that Gu Xin's accident was her fault. If she had accompanied Gu Xin that night and gotten into the carriage with her, Yin Yueli would definitely have found her troublesome. If anything was amiss, Bai Si outside would definitely have noticed. Even if Gu Xin was eventually kidnapped, at least someone would have been with her.
But she left that day because her dress was dirty.
She felt extremely guilty, so she begged her mother to let her change into the uniform of a female soldier and go to the battlefield with her.
She wouldn't be a burden to anyone; she would stay in the rear and kill whoever she could. She wanted to see Xin Xin as soon as possible, otherwise she would never have peace of mind for the rest of her life.
The Peng family forbade her to come, but Lu Zheng and Gu Hui agreed.
In the end, Ms. Peng had no choice but to agree.
With a massive army pressing in, the enemy had no time to prepare.
Gu Hui finally saw another side of Lu Zheng, a completely different side from the one he usually showed in front of the Gu family.
Gu Hui was gratified that Xin Xin had someone who cared about her so much.
Princess Jinghe and He Sanniang were also bloodthirsty. They had experience fighting in the Southern Frontier and the Goddess Kingdom, and were no less capable than ordinary men.
Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu worked together very well, and in just three days they seized half of the grassland where the Sand God Kingdom was located.
Similarly, the Peng brothers also had a very smooth time in Izumo.
They had been attacking for three days, and Gu Xin had been walking in the direction Ayelin had pointed out for her for three days as well.
However, she did not find the horse herder that Ayerin had mentioned. She did not see a single person along the way. She did not know whether she had been tricked or had not reached the place Ayerin had described.
She carried a water pouch, some dried meat that Ayelin had given her, and several daggers that Ayelin had given her. Of course, she still carried the short knife with her.
Ayelin also found her a thick coat from the Sand God Kingdom to keep warm, a men's outfit, to make it easier for Gu Xin to move around.
She walked across the grassland on her own two feet until she saw a mountain.
On November 25th, after asking Ayerin, she kept track of the time every day and saw a snow-capped mountain.
Could it be that if we cross this mountain and keep going, we can return to Kuncheng? Gu Xin remembered that last year and the year before, the mountains north of Kuncheng were all snow-capped mountains like this.
She stopped, took a sip of water, ate a few bites of dried meat, rested for a while, and then planned to cross the snow-capped mountain.
She has been walking alone for six days without encountering anyone, but occasionally she encounters animals.
Rubbing her hands together and her frostbitten nose, Gu Xin decided to cross the snow mountain before dark. Otherwise, she would definitely freeze to death, and she was about to run out of the jerky she had on her. She would probably starve to death even if she didn't freeze to death.
She thought the people of the Sand God Kingdom had gone to look for her elsewhere, but she had no idea that the Sand God Kingdom no longer had the energy to pursue her and had been forced into a corner by Lu Zheng.
Inside the king's tent, the king summoned his sons to discuss how to deal with the situation.
Some suggested surrendering, while others suggested fighting to the bitter end.
Those who surrendered believed that the Great Zhou was coming on strong and must have been well-prepared. Moreover, the Great Zhou now had Kuncheng as a major grain-producing rear area, so they had enough food and time to maneuver.
Those who were determined to resist to the end felt that the Great Zhou was just creating a show of force to scare them. They believed that the Great Zhou's target was definitely that Miss Gu. As long as they found Miss Gu, they could threaten the Great Zhou. They thought it would be better to ask the Kingdom of Chuyun or the Kingdom of Langge for help now.
