Gu Xin had already taken care of all of Ren Changguo's affairs.
Within Renchang Kingdom, any man aged sixteen to thirty who is willing can follow Lord Gongsun back to the capital and enter the military camp for training.
More than 5,000 new recruits were enrolled in total.
Ren Changguo only cares about himself and not the people, which Gu Xin could see as soon as she entered the city.
Once you go to the Land of Quicksand, there will be plenty of food and drink, and you won't have to live the same life as before. There will also be a special place for you to train, and you won't have to worry about being beaten.
Dying on the battlefield or being attacked at home are both forms of death, but the former offers a sliver of uncertainty about survival.
Therefore, naturally more people went.
Those who remained were mostly elderly people, women, and children.
Gu Xin did not force them to go with her. Anyone who was willing could go with her to the Flowing Sand Kingdom, where they could farm or do some handicrafts. Those who were unwilling could stay behind.
There are nearly three thousand people willing to leave with Gu Xin.
The rest were Ren Changguo's original soldiers. Gu Xin planned to hand them over to Xue Qianyu. Originally there were 20,000 soldiers, but some were killed, leaving more than 10,000.
The best approach would be to have Xue Qianyu teach this.
And so, when they set out, there were ten thousand soldiers and a small detachment; when they returned, there were tens of thousands of them.
By the time Gu Xin returned to the Flowing Sand Kingdom, it was already July.
Upon entering the palace, the King of Liusha had ice basins brought out for Gu Xin to cool off.
Gu Xin raised her hand and smelled herself: "Uncle Jun, I stink all over. I'll go take a shower first, and then I'll come out and talk to you later! I'm about to faint from the stench!"
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom pinched his nose, looking disgusted.
Gu Xin made a face at him and went back to her room to take a shower.
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom smiled helplessly before receiving Lord Gongsun and Lady Han, and learned what had happened from them.
Upon hearing that Gu Xin had attacked someone right at their doorstep, he nodded, noting that she had the air of a daughter of the Dugu family.
You've attacked me time and time again. Do you really think I'm easy to bully?
The ruler of Liusha nodded, noting that no one in Renchangguo's people had been harmed this time, and felt that no matter what this child experienced in the future, her heart would never change.
He told Lord Gongsun and Lady Han to go back and rest first, and that a banquet would be held at the palace that evening, inviting them to bring their families.
Gu Xin took a good shower, changed into clean clothes, and tied up her hair, which was half-dry.
She wanted to eat as soon as she came out, but traveling in this weather, the food she ate was truly indescribable!
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom had raised her for so long and knew her well. He had prepared a table full of food for her and then told her, "Eat less. You'll be having dinner with the princes and ministers tonight, so be careful you won't be able to eat!"
Gu Xin munched on a lamb chop: "I can eat it, I can eat it. I've been starving lately. Ren Changguo's place only serves salted fish and dried fish, and there aren't any other seasonings, so it's not very tasty!"
The King of Liusha smiled helplessly, then said, "The Yunhai tribe has declared war on Gaozi. A Yuan sent word that the Seventh Princess has been kidnapped by Liang Jing, and he and the Queen of Yunhai have gone to rescue her!"
Gu Xin frowned, and the lamb chop in her hand no longer tasted good: "...Why did Brother Yuanyuan go to save that Seventh Princess? Wasn't the image he cultivated in the Yunhai Tribe that of a weak and helpless merchant?"
The King of Liusha sighed, pursing his lips, "Yes, why? Could it be because the Seventh Princess is prettier? Before you came, everyone in the west thought the Seventh Princess of Yunhai was the most beautiful!"
Gu Xin puffed up her cheeks in anger: "Hmph!"
