Seeing this, Gu Hui grabbed one person's hand and put them together: "Jinghe, Third Sister, you must believe me. I will not go to my death. If we leave, leaving Pengze behind, he will be the one who dies."
“I have a feeling that something’s wrong with Yan Mo. If he and the Tenth Princess come back tomorrow morning, none of us might be able to leave. You two go to the city gate and wait. By daybreak, the battle report from Shennv Mountain definitely won’t reach here yet. Take this opportunity to leave the city, but be careful. As for Dugu Jiu, Peng Ze and I will offer him favorable terms in the name of my father and General Peng, so that he doesn’t have to go through the marriage alliance. I believe he will help.”
“If you don’t leave, the four of us might die together when the battle report arrives! We might even be used by the Goddess Kingdom to threaten the Peng family army. I can’t disappear; if I disappear, I’ll be discovered immediately. They won’t think too much about it since you haven’t shown up for a while.”
"Listen to me, I'm the boss."
Princess Jinghe and He Sanniang were persuaded by Gu Hui.
Princess Jinghe recounted the details of her relationship with Dugu Jiu to Gu Hui once more before packing her things and leaving with He Sanniang.
Before they left, they each gave Gu Hui two of the transparent pills that Gu Xin had given them. Gu Hui had already used up all the pills she had to help Peng Ze recover quickly, but the two of them hadn't used any yet.
Gu Hui sat alone in the room, thinking that there would probably be a tough battle tomorrow, and forced herself to go to sleep.
...
On Goddess Mountain, the three generations of the family would set out at the hour of Chou (1-3 AM).
Grandma Gu took the ointment made by Gu Xin's family secret recipe to that checkpoint.
The sisters Gu Xin and Gu Nian proceeded from the left and right sides of the city wall on the mountain.
Holding a bottle of ointment under someone's nostrils will cause them to faint instantly.
After several days of investigation, the three had already figured out the number of people on duty each day and the locations they guarded.
A quarter of an hour later, all the guards had fallen silently, and no one in the nearby tents noticed anything amiss.
The three generations of the family didn't have time to tie everyone up; they raced against time to search the mountains for the ropes and tools that the soldiers of the water camp had placed in the past few nights.
The terrain of Shennv Mountain is treacherous, and it is impossible to climb it without tools. The only way is through that pass, which is guarded day and night. Therefore, if you attack, you will inevitably make a commotion and be discovered by the guards.
Now that all the guards have been taken down, the attack is not difficult.
The three generations of the family searched from the checkpoint to both sides. After finding the items, they brought them in through the checkpoint and then tied ropes to the ground on the mountain.
After confirming that all ten locations had been cleared of the mountain, the three members of the family returned to the checkpoint, tied up the guards, gagged them, and moved them aside.
After doing all this, Gu Nian fired a signal flare in the direction of Kuncheng.
Meanwhile, the naval soldiers who had already swum across the river that night were waiting at the foot of the mountain. Upon seeing the signal flare, they all passed through the checkpoint.
Upon seeing the signal flare, Peng Jiajun quickly crossed the river.
They dared not cross the river rashly, fearing that the Gu family's actions, which had not yet been completed, would be visible at the Shennv Mountain pass, and that this was a precaution to prevent such a situation.
It was almost dawn.
When Xue Qianyu led his troops to the top of the mountain, the people who were changing shifts had already arrived one after another.
When the female soldiers of the Goddess Kingdom saw a group of people dressed in the uniforms of the Great Zhou army appearing on the path, their first reaction was not to go forward to check the situation, but to immediately return to the camp to report to the general.
