If the Yunhai tribe in the west is considered first-class, then the Gaozi Kingdom, the Shalin tribe, and the Liangjing Kingdom are second-class.
The Kingdom of Gozi is much larger than the Kingdom of Liusha, equivalent to several large prefectures in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The terrain here is flat, with grasslands to the north for grazing and arable land to the south for cultivation.
The population here is also larger than that of the Shifting Sands Kingdom.
Gu Xin sat in the carriage and looked out the window. She noticed that there were many people with Eastern features, and even more with features that resembled a combination of both Eastern and Western features.
Based on the information the ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom had given her, she understood that this was probably a descendant of people who had combined Eastern and Western elements, and that they were quite good-looking.
Like Prince Helian, he was tall and imposing, but his features resembled those of a refined gentleman from the Great Zhou Dynasty. He had arched eyebrows, deep eyes, and very long eyelashes. She had looked closely and found that his eyelashes were even longer than Lu Zheng's. You should know that Lu Zheng had the longest eyelashes of any man she had ever seen.
The clothing of the Kingdom of Gozi was not as unrestrained as that of the Kingdom of Flowing Sands, but it was not as conservative as that of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The man wore a long, wide-sleeved robe, while the laborers wore shorts.
The women all wore ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) that reached their chests, exposing their necks. Regardless of age, their hair was always tied up, which kept them cool in the summer.
Upon learning that their prince had won a battle and killed the eldest prince of the Cloud Sea, the people of Goz were as excited as if it were New Year's Day.
As the army passed by, many girls threw flowers and handkerchiefs at the troops, and some even boldly shouted, "Prince, we love you! Prince, you are our god!"
Gu Xin glanced secretly at Prince Helian, who was riding in the same car.
Helian Yi was somewhat embarrassed. He wasn't the one who killed the eldest prince of Yunhai, but now everyone thought it was him, and he was destined to take the blame.
Cheng Huaijin laughed and said, "Prince Helian is very popular! Unlike me, the people of our Liusha Kingdom, regardless of gender, all love the princess, not the prince."
Gu Xin: "...Brother, you always have such a sour face, like someone owes you tens of thousands of gold coins. Who would dare to love you?"
Cheng Huaijin: "I learned all of this from you. Don't you always have a sour face?"
Gu Xin shook her finger: "Wrong, the people say that I look best when I have a sour face."
Cheng Huaijin: "..."
Helian Yi looked at the two of them with envy: "You two siblings have such a good relationship! It's truly enviable!"
Cheng Huaijin glanced at him and said, "If you don't mind, I can be your older brother too."
Gu Xin: "Anyway, I will never be anyone's younger sister again. Prince Helian, if you don't mind, I can be your older sister."
Helian Yi: "..."
I'll shut up, okay? There are two of you and me alone, I can't win an argument!
It would take three days to return to the capital of Goz from the battlefield, and that night, their group rested at the city's post station.
Helian Yi thoughtfully instructed his subordinates to prepare clean clothes for Gu Xin and Cheng Huaijin so they could freshen up.
He needed to wash himself too, as he was too dirty and disheveled.
The two men washed up faster, and Helian Yi was injured and couldn't soak in the water.
They waited outside together for Gu Xin to come out so they could have dinner together.
After Gu Xin finished getting ready, her hair was still a little damp. She tied it all up in a bun and then came out.
The blood and grime on her face were washed away, revealing her pretty little face.
