At this moment in Kuncheng, the Peng family still failed to catch up with Lin Gui, who had kidnapped Gu Yingxue.
General Peng was furious and immediately arrested several people mentioned in the message that Cheng Huaiyu had asked Xie Nanfeng to bring back, and began to interrogate them.
Unexpectedly, these men were all suicide squad members. When they talked about how this day would come, they all died resolutely.
The white-robed man was furious at the deaths of these men and ran to Gu Shouxin to complain: "Lord Gu, do you think old man Peng is crazy? If we had kept them alive, we could have used our schemes to gather information about Langge Kingdom. Now that they're all dead, we've lost all our leads. Who knows how many people King Langge still has in the Peng family? Is it really worth it for a granddaughter he picked up?"
Gu Shouxin glanced at the man in white indifferently.
The man in white sensed danger, but still retorted defiantly, "That's exactly right! Capturing him is completely useless. Why aren't you using your brain at all right now?"
Gu Shouxin said, "Then you said your people were monitoring the people on the list, so why didn't anyone notice when Lin Gui arrested Xue'er?"
The man in white pursed his lips. This was indeed his subordinate's fault, a result of his negligence in management.
The person who was watching Lin Gui that morning had an upset stomach because of something he ate the day before. He happened to be off-duty at that particular time, during the brief moment when he went to find someone to take his place, and that's when Gu Yingxue was kidnapped. After that, Lin Gui, who was familiar with the entire Peng family, easily managed to smuggle Gu Yingxue out of the mansion.
There was nothing wrong with the people under the white-robed man; he was indeed gluttonous. In the summer, things spoil easily if left out for too long, and he just happened to eat something bad.
If you're spying on someone, but you get an upset stomach and can't hold it in, making loud gurgling noises, wouldn't that make you easy to be discovered?
Unable to refute the argument, the man in white asked, still unwilling to give up, "So what do we do now?"
Gu Shouxin: "Just attack! Catch them off guard and let them know that our Great Zhou is not afraid of them."
The man in white was excited for a moment, but then asked with concern, "Will the Peng family, who only obey the emperor's orders, agree?"
Gu Shouxin did not answer him.
In less than a day, Gu Shouxin showed Bai Yi whether the Peng family would agree or not.
This time, Peng Erlang led an army of 100,000 and set off for Langge Kingdom.
Kuncheng now has more than 100,000 troops. The emperor had previously ordered generals from all directions to send reinforcements, but it was just a tactical attempt to wipe out Langge Kingdom and the Yunhai tribe in one fell swoop.
The man in white ran over to Gu Shouxin and asked, "Lord Gu, when the Third Miss was in trouble before, why didn't you just attack her directly?"
Gu Shouxin didn't answer him, but Qian Liang added, "Young Master Bai, when the Third Miss was in trouble, our Great Zhou still had two northern kingdoms eyeing us covetously. Now, the northern kingdoms of Chuyun and Shashen are long gone, not even a remnant remains. Kuncheng, this national gate, has escape routes in the three directions except for the west. Not only that, if we charge forward, we won't be afraid of being cut off from our retreat; on the contrary, we will receive reinforcements."
Bai Yi slapped his forehead. That's right. Back then, there were also the Sand God Kingdom and the Cloud Kingdom. Moreover, that old codger King Qu had countless secret passages dug over the past few decades. Most importantly, nobody knows where the Third Sister was taken.
On July 20th, Peng Erlang led the Great Zhou army to the easternmost city of Langge Kingdom and launched an attack on the city immediately upon arrival!
When the massive army arrived, the city's defenders saw it and reported its disappearance.
However, having received no reply, they could only defend the city.
