Cheng Huaijin shook his head: "I'm not sad. I thought about this a long time ago. If this had never happened, maybe I would have tried harder. But after so many things have happened, how can I expect everything to go my way? I consider Sister Niannian my faith, that's my own business, it has nothing to do with her. As long as she's doing well, I'll be at peace. Xinxin, don't tell Sister Niannian that she's in my heart, okay?"
Gu Xin nodded: "Okay."
Cheng Huaijin smiled and said, "Go to sleep. We'll set off early tomorrow morning and try to get to Liusha Kingdom as soon as possible to send the message back."
Gu Xin: "Mm."
Gu Xin wrapped herself up tightly, lay down, and after a long while, she said, "Brother Xiao Jin, you will have a good life from now on."
After a long silence, Cheng Huaijin finally responded, "Mm."
...
Sand Kingdom.
Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu's team had already conquered every corner of the Sand God Kingdom. Those who fought to the death were all killed, and those who surrendered were all imprisoned in one place.
Lu Zheng hadn't slept for days; his beard had grown back, his hair was disheveled, and his eyes were bloodshot.
At this moment, he arrived at the place where the eldest prince of the Sand God was imprisoned.
The eldest prince of the Sand God Kingdom was captured by Gu Huijing, the princess, and He Sanniang. After learning that he was the future king of the Sand God Kingdom, the three of them never thought of killing him. What if they could get something useful out of him?
Lu Zheng looked at the eldest prince of the Sand God Kingdom: "Where is Gu Xin?"
The eldest prince of the Sand God had not eaten for several days and was now in a terrible state, on the verge of death.
Lu Zheng grabbed him by the neck, lifted him up, and asked fiercely, "Where's Gu Xin!"
The eldest prince of the Sand God said weakly, "Dead, dead."
Lu Zheng resisted the urge to kill the man with a single blow, and threw him to the ground: "Bring the rest of you up!"
His men stepped back, saying, "Yes, sir!"
Lu Zheng held his sword, poised to strike at any moment.
After his men brought everyone in, Lu Zheng grabbed the Sand God King and demanded, "Tell me, where is Gu Xin?"
The Sand God King, severely wounded, weakly replied, "I...I don't know."
"call out!"
With a single strike from Lu Zheng, the Sand God King died before he could even let out a scream.
Nearby, a group of women and children were tied up.
Lu Zheng pointed his sword at the older man, and his men immediately brought him over.
Lu Zheng asked again, "Where is Gu Xin?"
The old woman was the mother of the Sand God's eldest son, and she trembled with fear: "No, I don't know."
"call out!"
Another slash, and blood splattered, landing on the face of the Sand God's eldest prince.
Lu Zheng swiftly and decisively brought down his knife, while the Sand God's eldest prince glared at him through gritted teeth.
Lu Zheng didn't even look at him, and pointed to another woman.
The eldest prince of the Sand God roared, "Doesn't your Great Zhou Dynasty refrain from indiscriminate killing? Aren't you afraid of retribution for committing too many sins?"
Lu Zheng killed another person, then looked at the eldest prince of the Sand God Kingdom: "If I can't find Gu Xin, what does it matter if I slaughter everyone in your Sand God Kingdom! Retribution? Did your Sand God Kingdom consider retribution when you killed my Great Zhou people? Speak or not, speak or not, everyone in this house—your woman, your child—will die! Including you! I will make you watch your woman, your child, your people die one by one before your eyes. I will make you watch your skin, your flesh, be cut away piece by piece, making you wish you were dead!"
The eldest prince of the Sand God pointed at Lu Zheng: "Devil! Devil! You are the devil!"
