She had been planning to visit Gao Zi and talk to Cheng Huaijin about this matter for the past few days, but now that she saw Cheng Huaijin's letter, she had a bad feeling.
Gu Hui also came over to read the letter and sighed inwardly.
"Big sister, why didn't Dad and Grandpa Peng send someone to rescue Xiaoyu in time? Why?" Gu Xin questioned again.
“Back in Fuzhou, Xiaoyu betrayed Peng Mu in order for me to capture him. After that, Peng Mu kept a close eye on him. Of all the people from our Great Zhou, only Xie Nanfeng and a few others entered Langge Kingdom from the other side of the Goddess Kingdom, traveling from west to east. Our people couldn’t get close to Xiaoyu at all. The first time Xiaoyu sent a message back, she said to wait for the later plans. At that time, not only would Xie Nanfeng and the others be unable to leave, but she wouldn’t be able to leave either. If she tried to escape, not only would Xie Nanfeng be exposed, but she would also be watched even more closely. It was better to take advantage of the situation to gather more information,” Gu Hui explained again.
“But, but Xie Nanfeng can also bring the letter back to Kuncheng!” Gu Xin retorted.
“Because Xie Nanfeng is alone. If there were another person, they would inevitably be discovered,” Gu Hui said.
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom understood; it must be that Ah Hai's twin sister had gotten into trouble.
He shook his head and said, "Xinxin, you take the men to Goz! I can handle things here."
...
In the Great Zhou camp, Helian Yi paid a visit posing as Prince Gorz.
"General Peng, Prince Ahai asked me to take Miss Gu to the city wall. He requires that Miss Gu bring another person with her." After exchanging pleasantries, Helian Yi stated his request in his not-so-fluent Da Zhou dialect.
"May I ask Prince Helian, what does Prince Ahai intend to do? Does he need our help?" Peng Erlang asked.
“General Peng, Prince Ahai said that Miss Gu only needs to bring one other person. He hopes that your Great Zhou will not interfere in anything else. I can protect Miss Gu and ensure her safety,” Helian Yi said.
Peng Erlang remained silent, but Cheng Huaijin still harbored a thorn in his side, and he nodded in agreement.
Gu Yingxue left with Helian Yi, and the woman in white followed.
Helian Yi didn't know who the other person Cheng Huaijin was talking about was, so he assumed it was Bai Yi and didn't say anything.
Gu Yingxue held the urn of ashes to her heart and whispered to Cheng Huaiyu, "Sister, brother has avenged you. He asked me to take you to see him."
A gentle breeze rustled through Gu Yingxue's hair, as if Cheng Huaiyu were responding to her.
Upon reaching the city wall, the four locations leading to the towers were firmly guarded by the Goz army. On the towers, the Goz troops, who were preparing to launch catapults and shoot arrows, were also ready.
Gu Yingxue held the urn containing ashes and stood in the best vantage point, where she could see most of the city.
Suddenly, chaos erupted somewhere. Gu Yingxue could hear shouts of battle and see Cheng Huaijin, dressed in black, carrying several swords and fighting the enemy.
Judging from their attire, the people there were soldiers from the Kingdom of Lange. Cheng Huaijin had one in each hand, completely disregarding his own injuries.
Soon, a large crowd gathered around. Cheng Huaijin took out a small bottle from his pocket, held his breath, threw it into the air, and quickly fled the scene.
Some people chased after him, while others failed to catch up in time and then collapsed to the ground.
Cheng Huaijin brandished his sword, continuing to kill one enemy at a time.
If they dared to fire arrows, Gorz's best archers would shoot them first. Cheng Huaijin killed tirelessly, killed, killed...
