The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom was persuaded by Gu Xin. After thinking for a moment, he said, "You and Ah Hai have gotten along quite well over the past six months. I can trust you to look after each other. When you go out with Ah Yu, he will definitely protect you, just as you said, and won't expect you to protect him. Alright, we'll discuss this matter again tonight when they both return. If you and Ah Hai both leave, Ah Yu's arrangements will also need to be changed."
Gu Xin nodded seriously and said, "Uncle Jun, don't worry, I will definitely come back safe and sound. Believe me."
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom sighed.
He had few children in his life, having only one son who died young.
Over the years, he had no interest in finding a woman. After learning about Cheng Huaijin's past a couple of years ago, he truly raised Cheng Huaijin as his own son.
Now he regrets it a little, regrets not having had more children, otherwise he could help Xinxin now.
However, it's too late to regret it now.
...
That evening, the king of the Flowing Sand Kingdom hosted a banquet at the palace, inviting all his ministers.
Xue Qianyu and Cheng Huaijin also returned.
Gu Xin was forced to dress up by the maids ordered by the King of Liusha. She just sat there without saying a word, and she really looked like a fairy.
But when she generously picked up the large bowl to offer a toast, her fairy-like image vanished instantly.
This past January, after Gu Xin turned fifteen, she started drinking alcohol, from fruit wine at first to strong liquor later on, accepting all kinds of drinks.
The key is that no one can outdrink her.
The most popular drinks here are wines, both white and red. Some have a low alcohol content, similar to fruit wines, while others are a bit stronger. People with low alcohol tolerance can't drink more than a few glasses.
Gu Xin can keep drinking it.
After drinking a cup with Gu Xin from the large bowl, Xue Qianyu silently complained to himself.
With this girl's current behavior, she's likely to scare a lot of people when she returns to the Great Zhou!
I wonder if my second uncle will dare to acknowledge this daughter when the time comes!
The daughter holding a large bowl, offering him a toast.
After the banquet, the King of Liusha summoned the three children to his palace and told them about the matter that Gu Xin had raised during the day.
Cheng Huaijin had no objections, and Xue Qianyu also thought it was feasible.
When they returned, they heard many people in the camp discussing the competition that afternoon. It was a pity they hadn't been able to see it in person!
Xue Qianyu wanted to go, but Gu Xin's point was also valid.
So, Gu Xin and Cheng Huaijin decided to cause trouble.
The group discussed Xue Qianyu's next steps. Xue Qianyu's idea was to send Bai Si and Mo Fei to the border city to replace him and Cheng Huaijin, while he would return to the capital.
He took a liking to the sons of several ministers, thinking that these young men, with some training, could also lead troops.
Previously, the generals of the Shifting Sands Kingdom had been arranged to take turns patrolling the entire kingdom.
Also, it's time to harvest. Organize the people to harvest the crops and store the grain for unforeseen needs.
If possible, we could organize merchants to travel and exchange gold coins for grain.
On the battlefield, food is also indispensable; soldiers cannot be allowed to fight on an empty stomach.
The King of Liusha had already considered everything Xue Qianyu said, and planned to make arrangements for it tomorrow.
He looked at Xue Qianyu, the boy who had been raised by the Emperor of the Great Zhou since childhood, and nodded repeatedly.
My aunt's granddaughter has excellent taste; the husbands she's chosen are all quite good.
