Princess Jinghe pondered for a moment: "Old Tu, when the three of us go to the Goddess Kingdom, should we go through the dock of Jin Nan Kingdom, or take a boat and then swim to the shore of the Goddess Kingdom ourselves? We are all quite good swimmers."
Deputy General Tu shook his head: "No need to swim, just take the route to the dock. We rescued a young couple from the Goddess Kingdom earlier. Two of you will pretend to be the husband, and one will pretend to be the wife. We have their identity documents, and they're genuine. Just don't go to the cities listed on the documents. I've seen them; the place they came from is quite far from the capital, and not many people know them. We also managed to get a rough map of the Goddess Kingdom from them, but we're not sure if it's accurate. You'll have to find a way to confirm it yourselves."
Gu Hui frowned: "You gave it to me so easily?"
Deputy General Tu sighed, "Of course it's not easy!"
This Deputy General Tu seems to be the kind of person who enjoys telling stories, and he started talking about the story of the woman from the Goddess Kingdom and her two husbands.
Both of her husbands were servants in her household. She only liked them and disliked the family to whom her family had arranged the marriage, so she wanted to elope.
As for where to flee to, it certainly couldn't be one of the surrounding countries, because in those countries men could take concubines, and in no other country men were allowed to become concubines.
The young couple planned to go to sea. Since they intended to leave permanently, they prepared a relatively large ship. If they set off from the Goddess Kingdom, they would be discovered and brought back. Therefore, they had to set off from the Kingdom of Jinnan.
It was by chance that Deputy General Tu saved them.
While searching for Pengze, based on his experience, he discovered that the three were being chased by a female general from the Goddess Kingdom. Somehow, he rescued them and brought them to this isolated island. Two days ago, the young couple set off from the island on a large ship. The ship was laden with gold and silver treasures, but mostly with food and water. They planned to search the sea for a country like the Goddess Kingdom so they could survive. If they couldn't find one, they would just wait as long as the food lasted; if they were to die, they would die together.
Gu Hui and the other two were speechless. Should they say that the two husbands were infatuated, or that the woman was fickle?
Although they were unsure if it was true or not, Gu Hui and the other two decided to try using this identity anyway.
As for who plays the amorous young lady, it's quite obvious that it's Princess Jinghe.
Despite Princess Jinghe's fiery temper and tendency to whip anyone she disliked in the capital, she was undeniably beautiful.
She wasn't as heroic as Gu Hui, nor as androgynous as He San Niang; she was just a cute little girl.
In a unanimous vote by all the soldiers in the naval camp, Princess Jinghe became the runaway bride named Dugu Zhen.
Dugu is the royal surname of the Goddess Kingdom. Only the descendants of the queen are worthy of the surname Dugu, and only women have surnames. In the Goddess Kingdom, men do not have surnames, only given names. After they have a wife, they take her surname.
Therefore, the three now have new identities: Dugu Zhen, the Princess Jinghe; Yuan Lang, Gu Hui; and Lin Yi, He San Niang.
That evening, the three of them did their own makeup. Princess Jinghe made herself look extremely beautiful. Just kidding, she was going to play the daughter of a city lord, a woman of the Dugu clan. How could she not look beautiful and be worthy of the Dugu Queen?
Gu Hui further enhanced her already striking features with makeup, making her tall and slender, and not short either among men.
As for He San Niang, she made herself look very ordinary, but her eyes and brows were very gentle.
