Agil glared at Lu Zheng and muttered a curse under his breath.
She had even considered that after the war ended, she could take this man as her male consort to help manage the affairs of her household. Her father still had several young sons, and he would definitely need her for political affairs. This man could then take over all the things around her except for political matters.
Seeing this person dressed in the attire of a Great Zhou general, standing alongside other Great Zhou generals, she was so angry she felt like vomiting blood.
From their first meeting in the desert to everything that followed, it was all part of a scheme.
He even lied to her, saying that his brother had been killed by bandits, but his brother was standing perfectly fine next to him.
Agil was so angry he felt like vomiting blood.
She never considered herself a woman who lusts after good looks. The man had a handsome appearance unlike that of men from the West, but she was not captivated by him; in fact, she looked down on him because he had no martial arts skills.
Surprisingly, she trusted him.
Not content with just waving, Lu Zheng put his hands to his mouth and shouted loudly at Agil, "Your Highness, it's been a long time! How have you been? I'm doing very well, Your Highness need not worry about me being bullied!"
"Pfft!" Agil spat out a mouthful of blood.
Her injuries have healed, but they are not completely healed!
At this moment, if one's blood and qi are overwhelming, wouldn't one vomit blood?
Lu Zheng continued to shout, "Your Highness, don't cough up blood! In my heart, you will always be the most resilient. Your Highness, stay strong!"
"Pfft!" Agil spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Princess!" Her attendants quickly gathered around.
"Fall back!" Agil said fiercely, clutching his chest as he turned his horse around and rode away.
Looking at the returning Cloud Sea army, the Flowing Sand army looked at Lu Zheng in disbelief.
Lu Zheng shrugged and stroked his chin, saying, "Don't look at me like that. I really thought she was the most tenacious woman in the west. It seems I was wrong!"
After saying that, he shook his head with a regretful expression.
Peng Ze: "..."
Although Agil had withdrawn his troops, there was no guarantee that she wouldn't make a comeback. Therefore, Pengze stayed in the barracks below the city gate.
Lu Zheng took his zither, mounted his horse, and set off to find Gu Xin.
He was in a good mood throughout the journey.
Others may not know how many people are in Yunhai, but does he not know?
At this point, it won't be good for either side to attack first. The best approach is for everyone to rest and recuperate together, and then fight to the death.
Lu Zheng arrived at the city lord's mansion where Gu Xin and the others were located the next morning.
He was dressed in the uniform of a general of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The city was guarded by the Great Zhou army, most of whom were from the naval camp, so they naturally recognized Lu Zheng.
He arrived at the city lord's mansion and happened to run into Bai Si.
"General Zhou!" Bai Si stepped forward excitedly.
"Where is your third daughter?" Lu Zheng asked.
"She's in Miss Xue'er's room right now. I'll take the general there!" Bai Si said.
Lu Zheng nodded and followed Bai Si.
On the way, Lu Zheng inquired about Gu Yingxue's situation. Before long, they arrived at the courtyard gate. Bai Si wanted to go inside to report, but Lu Zheng stopped him: "You go ahead with your business, I'll go in by myself!"
"Yes, I'll take my leave!" Bai Si turned and went to do his own thing.
Gu Yingxue woke up last night, but only for a short while before fainting again. Gu Xin asked Bai Si to go to Ying Shiyuding's storeroom to get some medicinal herbs so she could prepare new medicine for Gu Yingxue.
Lu Zheng didn't go inside; instead, he flew to the rooftop with his zither in his arms.
