Peng Sanlang was facing the old fox, the King of Southern Xinjiang.
The terrain in southern Xinjiang is not flat, and Peng Sanlang's Peng family army almost fell into ambushes several times.
In the end, the King of Southern Xinjiang escaped, but fortunately, he eventually broke through the Southern Xinjiang defense line and arrived at the Southern Xinjiang Palace a few days later than Lu Zheng.
On July 17, the three groups met at the Southern Frontier Royal Palace.
Xue Qianyu and Peng Sanlang captured some prisoners, but did not kill everyone like Lu Zheng did.
Seeing this, Lu Zheng didn't say anything more.
He had experienced more battlefields in his two lifetimes than Xue Qianyu and Peng Sanlang, so naturally he was more cold-blooded than the two of them.
"Lord Gu?" Peng Sanlang was somewhat surprised to see Gu Shouxin.
“General Chi!” Gu Shouxin nodded without saying anything more.
Peng Sanlang's name is Peng Pond.
The reason for not calling them by their serial numbers is that there are several generals in the second generation of the Peng family, so the grandchildren are basically called by their names with the general title attached.
Peng Chi was the second son of the second branch of the Peng family. The second general of the Peng family died in battle a few years ago.
Madam Tang, the second wife of Peng, was the deputy general by Madam Peng's side. She had come along this time as well. When she saw her son was injured, she went forward to check on his injuries and told him about the situation at Linshan. She also explained to her son why Gu Shouxin was present.
Peng Sanlang hadn't expected the people of Southern Xinjiang to be so treacherous. Wait a minute, Xue Qianyu and Miss Gu are having an affair? How come he didn't know?
Seeing Xue Qianyu's dark face, Peng Sanlang remained silent for a moment. He thought to himself, "When I have time, I'll ask Zhou Yuan if he's on good terms with the Gu family!"
Everyone had arrived and began discussing the next steps.
The King of Southern Xinjiang escaped with a small number of his men. The Princess of Southern Xinjiang was captured, but the Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang was nowhere to be found.
The task at hand is to search for the King of Southern Xinjiang and his heir.
Xue Qianyu and Lu Zheng have been here for several days and have searched the entire capital city of Southern Xinjiang but have not found Yan Mo.
But the princess of the Southern Frontier insisted that Yan Mo was not dead, and that only she knew where he was.
The condition now is that she must find her father, the king, and see him alive with her own eyes before she will hand over Yan Mo.
No matter how severely they tortured her, she refused to talk, showing great integrity.
After discussing it, the group decided that Peng Sanlang and Lu Zheng would stay behind to continue searching for the whereabouts of the King of Southern Xinjiang and his heir, while they would continue searching for Yan Mo.
The princess of Southern Xinjiang spoke with conviction, because Yan Mo's men had witnessed him being bitten to death by poisonous insects and snakes. They dared not go forward to take away Yan Mo's body, meaning that even if he was dead, there was no trace of him, and perhaps he was still alive.
So they also need to look for it.
Xue Qianyu returned to Linshan and took charge of that area.
Suddenly, Madam Peng remembered the people from the naval camp who came from Linshan. She suggested, "Judging from the situation at that time, the only suspicious person on the waterway seemed to be the Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang?"
Lu Zheng's eyes darted around: "The princess of Southern Xinjiang said that she had an affair with Yan Mo. Maybe she had someone take Yan Mo away by water."
He spoke while observing the expression on the Southern Border Princess's face.
The princess of Southern Xinjiang's eyes lit up for a moment, so much so that it was almost imperceptible if one wasn't paying attention.
But Lu Zheng and Gu Shouxin saw it.
Madam Peng: "General Ze personally led men to pursue them. Once they return to Linshan, they should know who it is."
Lu Zheng had been watching the Southern Border Princess, and her eyes dimmed when she heard these words.
He was certain that the one who escaped by waterway was either the Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang or Yan Mo, but he wasn't sure which one it was.
He had a hunch that there might be many things left unexamined in the war in the southern border region in his previous life, such as Yan Mo.
