Gu Xinlu's move made King Shalin believe half of what she said.
However, they didn't talk about anything else after that; they just drank and chatted, listening to Gu Xin recount various things happening in the east.
Gu Xin was happy to tell them, as long as she made Da Zhou sound very powerful and talked a lot about the people of Da Zhou, that would be enough.
I'm just an ordinary maid from a small country next to the Great Zhou. If I can do this much, then think about the rest of the Great Zhou. Yes, that's how it is.
The banquet was late, and Princess Salin was even trying to sleep with Gu Xin. It was only after the Queen scolded her several times that the little girl finally went back to sleep on her own, crying.
That night, Gu Xin slept in the palace where the Shalin Royal Palace entertained guests, never letting her guard down for a moment.
She was accompanied by the prince and his entourage of the Kingdom of Goz. She lived in the territory of the Salin tribe, so she could not let her guard down.
She lay in bed, smelling the alcohol on herself, looking at the starry sky outside the window, and thinking of her family.
It's already the end of July, and she's been away from home for more than nine months.
Dad, Mom, Sister, I've grown taller, did you know? I miss you all so much!
A tear slid down Gu Xin's cheek.
...
The next morning, a maid came to invite Gu Xin to have breakfast at King Salim's place.
Gu Xin asked Prince Helian if he was going too, and the maid said that Prince Helian had already gone.
Gu Xin then followed the maid to King Shalin.
There was no one else there that morning except for King Salim, his eldest son Yan Zhao, and his second son Yan Feng.
Queen Salim, along with their youngest son Yan Jin and youngest daughter Yan Qin, were not present.
Helian Yi has arrived and is waiting for Gu Xin.
After breakfast, King Salim led the group to his study.
On a wooden board, the current situation of the tribes in the west was marked, more than a hundred in total, large and small. The eldest prince Yan Zhao explained to Gu Xin and Helian Yi: "The red marks here are all places that have been subdued by Yunhai, the blue marks are places that have not been subdued and are now independent. And these black marks are places that existed before but have now disappeared."
Gu Xin glanced at it and found it to be more detailed than what she had seen in the Flowing Sand Kingdom, similar to what she had seen in the Kingdom of Goz, and even including a few more places than what she had seen in the Kingdom of Goz.
In comparison, the Salin tribe is more meticulous than the Goz Kingdom in this regard.
Seeing that the two had observed enough, King Shalin said bluntly, "You two are probably not just passing through the Shalin tribe! I'll give you one morning, this is your only chance, to convince me. Otherwise, I won't pay any attention to anything you bring up afterward."
Helian Yi looked at Gu Xin.
Gu Xin nodded to him, then bowed to King Shalin and said, "Uncle Yan, since you have made it clear, then I will not beat around the bush. My goal with Prince Helian is only one: we hope that the Liusha Kingdom, the Shalin Tribe, and the Gaozi Kingdom can cooperate to fight against the Yunhai Tribe."
King Shalin looked at Gu Xin without saying a word.
Gu Xin continued, "I know that Liangjing Kingdom captured the Seventh Princess of Yunhai, and considering that the First Prince of Yunhai led troops to attack Goz, I'm afraid I might venture to guess that Uncle Yan is the mastermind behind all of this. Uncle Yan wants to weaken Yunhai's power, and at the same time, make Goz and Liangjing unable to compare with Shalin. Regardless of whether Yunhai or Liangjing destroys Goz, one of them will definitely take the initiative to seek cooperation."
