Cheng Huaijin added, "Xinxin, don't let her know about your relationship with Da Zhou. Otherwise, she'll use Peng Sanlang to do even more things, especially to threaten you. Right now, she just thinks there are people from Da Zhou in our team. Don't get too agitated, don't fall into her trap!"
Gu Xin struggled but couldn't break free. She was almost in tears: "Brother, I don't want anyone else to be arrested like this and die unjustly. I don't want to see this happen again."
"Oh no! Oh no! Princess, Prince, Ali is injured!" Just as Cheng Huaijin was about to say something, someone else came to report.
The two quickly went to look.
Then they saw Ali being carried in, barely alive.
"What happened?" Cheng Huaijin stepped forward.
Gu Xin went over and saw that Ali was dead.
"Where did you find it?" Gu Xin asked.
“It’s right outside the camp. Ali still has this tied to her foot.” The messenger took out a bloodstained strip of cloth.
“This is the fabric of my father’s clothes!” Gu Xin recognized it at a glance. It was the fabric that Peng Ze and Gu Hui had brought from the sea. Queen Dugu had the embroiderers of the Queen’s Palace make clothes for the King of Liusha for all four seasons. The King of Liusha had been wearing them recently.
At this moment, Gu Hui and the others also arrived. Upon seeing the fabric, they recognized it as something unique to the King of Liusha Kingdom.
The clothes of the people in the west are different from those in the east. Only the ruler of the entire Liusha Kingdom wears this kind of clothing. It was brought by Gu Hui and her group this time, and was personally selected by Queen Dugu.
“If Ali is in trouble, then something must have happened to the capital as well,” Cheng Huaijin said in a deep voice, clutching the strip of cloth.
"Calm down, let's all calm down," Gu Xin said, not trying to persuade others, but trying to persuade herself.
When she is in danger, she can calm down and think things through immediately, but when someone else is in trouble, she panics.
"As for the royal city, we'll send someone back to see what happened. As for General Ze, the plan remains unchanged. Tomorrow, Xin Xin and I will lead a group to Giant Stone City. Sister Hui, you two stay here to oversee things, in case Ajir tries anything," Cheng Huaijin said.
"What happened at Agil's place?" Gu Hui and the other two didn't know why Agil had come over, so they asked.
“She wrote a letter asking us to go to Giant Stone City, probably to see Brother Peng San,” Gu Xin said.
Gu Hui fell silent, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Wulang is gone, and Sanlang has been captured by Ajir. From the rumors she heard about Ajir, she felt that Peng Sanlang would not have an easy time. As for whether Peng Sanlang would survive, she did not know.
Of course, she hoped that Peng Sanlang would be alright.
Next, Cheng Huaijin began making arrangements. Princess Jinghe requested to return to Liusha Royal City, after all, there were still two girls there, Xie Zhiyi and Gu Yingxue, with whom she had feelings, and she was somewhat worried.
Cheng Huaijin naturally agreed.
That night, no one slept much.
The next day, before dawn, Gu Xin got up.
She and Cheng Huaijin each led a force of ten thousand men. Behind her was the Great Zhou army, and behind Cheng Huaijin was the Quicksand army. The two sides were dressed differently, which Agil could tell at a glance from the top of the city wall of Giant Stone City.
At this moment, Agil's attention was entirely focused on the enemy army outside the city. He was completely unaware that the soldiers of the Great Zhou Water Camp had secretly entered the Giant Stone City by water the previous night and successfully entered Ying Shiyuding's residence.
