Madam Peng said, "In that case, we might as well offer them benefits in return, along with some other incentives, and we can make them side with us. That way, Yan Mo and his men will have fewer troops. Even if Langge Kingdom borrows troops, Your Highness won't have to worry."
Queen Dugu gave a wry smile: "General Yin, you are unaware of the terrain of the Goddess Kingdom. As it stands, we cannot get close to those people at all. Or perhaps Yan Mo will launch an attack before we even get close."
Madam Peng shook her head: "That's easy. Tonight, I'll trouble Lord Gu to steal a few sets of their clothes from their camp. Your Highness, write down the names of the city lords you might be able to persuade. I'll select a few female soldiers, and Your Highness, find someone familiar with the terrain of the Goddess Kingdom. We'll dress them up and then accompany them there! We'll take a shortcut. Once we persuade those city lords, Yan Mo's troops will be reduced in number. We'd better hope he launches an attack and suddenly retreats some troops on the battlefield. Don't you think that will ruin his tactics?"
Queen Dugu's eyes lit up; she thought the idea was excellent.
Gu Shouxin glanced at General Peng, as if to say, "Your wife is annoyed with you and keeps assigning me all the work."
General Peng shamelessly returned a glance, saying, "My wife is worried about me and cares about me, not that she dislikes me. Yan Mo is so capable; stealing clothes is dangerous, so naturally my wife wouldn't let me go."
Gu Shouxin remained silent.
During the past two weeks, Queen Dugu also discovered that Gu Shouxin's martial arts skills were truly remarkable. He might not be good at leading troops in battle, but his personal strength was extremely high. The chances of him being discovered by Yan Mo when he went to steal things were very small.
So she stood up and bowed to Gu Shouxin: "Lord Gu, on behalf of the Dugu family, I beg you to help us with this. From now on, the Dugu family will always be at your service."
Gu Shouxin smirked. "My mother is still from your Dugu family. You said you wanted to make my mother the Supreme Queen. Do I need your promise?"
Gu Shouxin sighed. Oh well, let's just do it for my mother's sake!
Anyway, after this incident, we must fight for the rights that my mother deserves. We don't care about the Great Zhou, but you, Goddess Kingdom, can let my mother have some fun when she has nothing to do.
So Gu Shouxin agreed.
The plan was put into action that very evening.
Among the people chosen by Madam Peng were Gu Hui and the other two. The three of them were quite familiar with several of the cities. They had come from Jinan by boat and traveled all the way through those cities. Moreover, the three of them were very skilled at makeup.
While the soldiers of the Goddess Kingdom might not all know each other, there were always some on Yan Mo's side who knew people from Queen Dugu's side.
At this time, a stranger's face is the most suitable.
Upon learning that there was another mission, Princess Jinghe was overjoyed. This trip to Kuncheng had been incredibly satisfying. She knew that the Gu family could provide her with a life completely different from that in the capital.
He San Niang was focused on completing her mission successfully and receiving rewards from time to time. With the money, she would buy a house in Kuncheng.
Gu Hui, on the other hand, remained quite calm.
In addition to the three of them, Peng Fu also selected three female soldiers around thirty years old to cooperate with Queen Dugu's people. There would be three groups of three, which would make things very convenient.
Gu Shouxin went out for an hour and brought back ten sets of clothes. They were taken from different teams, not from the same place, otherwise people would definitely become suspicious.
