After thinking it over, Gu Xin still asked about the situation of the Cloud Sea Tribe, the ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom. She felt that the ruler should know more than Cheng Huaijin, the fake prince.
As it turned out, the ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom told her the same thing as Cheng Huaijin.
Since the beginning of this year, he has had Cheng Huaijin handle many things because he had taken too much to care for when he was young, fighting for territory and building the country. He can't overwork himself now.
So Gu Xin wrote down the situation of the Yunhai tribe in the letter.
After she finished writing, the King of Liusha took her and Cheng Huaijin to the garden, blew a whistle, and an eagle circled in the sky before landing.
This was the first time Gu Xin had ever seen such a large eagle. Eagles could be seen in Kuncheng, but none were as enormous as the one before her.
She remembered what Gu Nian had said: the world outside of the Great Zhou was vast, inhabited by different races and animals not found in the Great Zhou.
Sure enough, she saw it after she left the Great Zhou.
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom touched the eagle's wings, then put Gu Xin's letter into the bamboo tube tied to the eagle's leg.
It wasn't like the small bamboo tubes on Peng Jiafei's feet, but rather the size of the bamboo tubes Gu Xin usually used to carry water.
"Go!" After confirming that the seal was secure, the ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom patted the eagle.
The eagle soared into the sky and flew eastward.
“Its name is Ali. It’s a fledgling eagle that I found when I first arrived here. More than 20 years have passed, and it’s now the most powerful one in this area.” The King of Liusha turned to look at Gu Xin. “Xin Xin, if you like, you can have A Hai take you to choose one and have A Hai teach you how to train an eagle.”
Gu Xin blinked: "Really? That's great, thank you, Uncle!"
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom smiled and shook his head: "So, do you really believe me? Or are you waiting for your elder sister's reply and a token before you believe me?"
Gu Xin scratched her head sheepishly: "Uncle, please forgive me. I ended up here by accident because I was too arrogant. I dare not be presumptuous in front of you, Uncle. In this Shifting Sands Kingdom, I still have to rely on you!"
The King of the Flowing Sand Kingdom waved his hand: "Alright, alright, let's wait for my elder sister's letter to come back, then we can have a proper chat! My elder sister has to go from the Queen's Palace to Kun City to inform my aunt's family, so it will be at least six days before she replies. In these six days, Ah Hai, you can take Xin Xin and explore the Flowing Sand Kingdom. Alright, you must be tired after traveling in the desert for so long. Go and rest!"
After saying that, the King of the Flowing Sands left.
Cheng Huaijin led Gu Xin to the guest room.
The Kingdom of Flowing Sands is not large, not even comparable to a small country like the Kingdom of Golden South. Therefore, the royal palace of the Kingdom of Flowing Sands is naturally also small, just a house slightly larger than an ordinary person's.
Cheng Huaijin arranged for Gu Xin to stay in his courtyard. He had done this so that it would be convenient for her to disguise herself as a man, but it seemed that was no longer necessary. So, he asked Gu Xin if she wanted to move to another place.
Gu Xin waved her hand: "Forget it, I'll just stay in the same courtyard as Brother Xiao Jin! It's too much trouble to switch back and forth. Besides, Brother Xiao Jin is the only person I know here."
Cheng Huaijin didn't say anything.
He suppressed his curiosity and didn't ask Gu Xin what had happened between her and the King of Liusha. If Gu Xin was willing to talk about it, she would tell him even if he didn't ask. If she was not comfortable talking about it, it would be awkward for him to ask.
Finally having a bed to sleep in, Gu Xin took a hot shower, dried her hair, and lay down on the bed to sleep.
Finally, I don't have to run around in the sand anymore!
Finally, I can get a good night's sleep!
