"Your Majesty, Kuncheng is currently under martial law, so things may not go so smoothly," the eunuch replied.
"Whether it goes smoothly or not, let Mu'er handle this matter. If Mu'er can't, then let Mu'er's mother go. If neither of them can succeed, then they have no reason to live! Just convey my words to them verbatim," said King Lang.
Lu Zheng was shocked once again.
Mu'er, if you call her so affectionately, then she must be a nephew or niece. What exactly is Peng Mu's identity?
And Peng Mu's mother, Madam Peng the Fourth, was she involved too?
General Peng had four sons and one daughter. Among them, Peng Erlang and Peng Sanlang's father, General Peng Er, died on the battlefield some years ago.
Four sons and four wives.
The first, second, and third wives were all in the women's camp, while only the fourth wife was a girl from a village on the border of Kunzhou and Cizhou. More than ten years ago, General Peng Si almost got into trouble on his way back to Kuncheng from the capital. Fortunately, he was saved by the fourth wife. During his recovery, he stayed at the fourth wife's house. They fell in love and got married after he recovered. The following year, he gave birth to Peng Mu.
Madam Peng Si was born a village girl. Unlike Madam Peng, who was the first, second, and third, she had no martial arts skills. Since Peng Mu was born, it was Madam Peng Si who had been managing the Peng family's affairs.
Lu Zheng remembered that in his previous life, Madam Peng Si, like the other women in the Peng family, had died. In her previous life, Madam Peng Si was just an ordinary woman, with nothing unusual about her.
Lu Zheng didn't know whether Madam Peng Si from his previous life died without showing any signs of her true identity, or whether the mother of Mu'er that King Langge mentioned was not Madam Peng Si.
But there is one thing he must do now: send this message back to Kuncheng so that his second uncle can be on guard.
If the "Mother of Mu'er" mentioned by King Lang is indeed Madam Peng Si, then King Lang's plan is far too ambitious. It's likely that Peng Mu is not even General Peng Si's son.
But if Madam Peng is indeed the mother of Mu'er mentioned by King Lang, then many things can be explained more clearly.
He couldn't tell the Peng family directly about this; he had to send a message to his second uncle and ask him to handle it.
In Lu Zheng's eyes, among all the people he had encountered in his past and present lives, Gu Shouxin was the most capable and the one who could perfectly uncover the truth of the matter.
Lu Zheng stood there, listening as the eunuch spoke to King Langge about the Yunhai Tribe, the Jihe Kingdom, and the Gaofang Kingdom. He understood the gist of it: King Langge wanted to unite with the regions west of the desert to attack the Great Zhou, with the Yunhai Tribe as the main force. They planned to unite with all the surrounding small countries first, but some countries were still stubborn and only wanted to live in their own corners, not wanting to take a share of the Great Zhou's land.
Lu Zheng wondered if Xin Xin had run off to the other side.
After waiting a while longer, the eunuch left, and King Lang turned off the lights to prepare for sleep.
Lu Zheng did not act immediately, intending to wait until morning.
If we act now, King Lange might realize that he heard these words and if he doesn't send a message to the Great Zhou, how will Second Uncle investigate?
King Lang won't think so much if he waits until morning to take action.
In the sweltering December weather, Lu Zheng hid in the cold wind for a whole night until the palace eunuchs began to move around, preparing for the various chores on the morning of the first day of the new year. Lu Zheng covered his face and sneaked into King Lang's room.
His movements were so light that they made almost no sound, but King Lang noticed them and was prepared.
