Gu Xin, oblivious to the situation, continued, "I know that the Yunhai Tribe's plan is to help the Langge Kingdom send troops to crush the Great Zhou in the east. However, as far as I know, the Great Zhou is vast and rich in resources, with a population many times larger than Yunhai's. Back then, we were in the Jinnan Kingdom. Although the land was fertile and we could be self-sufficient by growing crops, we mostly bartered with the Great Zhou. The Great Zhou has 200,000 troops stationed in just one city, and that's only in the western part of the Great Zhou. I've heard there are also troops stationed in the east, south, and north. They have a large number of troops stationed in every prefecture there. At the beginning of last year, they destroyed the Southern Frontier Kingdom, which was known for its poisons, by only sending troops to one of its garrisons."
King Shalin's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked slowly, "Oh? Is that really so? Didn't Yunhai say that the people of Great Zhou are starving and cold, and that in a war, one of our soldiers from the west could take down ten of them?"
Gu Xin asked with a smile, "Uncle Yan really believes that?"
King Salim: "..."
Gu Xin continued, "Uncle Yan must know that my father comes from the Goddess Kingdom in the east. In fact, many customs and habits are similar in the places east of Langge Kingdom. Do you know why my father left the Goddess Kingdom? First, because he offended someone there, and second, because the people there are very strong. My brother and I live in Jinan Kingdom, which is right next to the Goddess Kingdom. The Great Zhou is just across the river. We eat and use most of the same things. If Uncle Yan doesn't believe me, you can test me. I only returned to Liusha at the end of last year. I've lived in Jinan for nearly ten years. Uncle Yan can see my strength!"
King Salim said it was bad, but then nodded to his youngest son.
Prince Yan Jin of the Salin is fourteen years old this year, one year younger than Gu Xin, making him perfect for appearing in this seemingly playful scene.
He threw a set of hammers he carried directly at Gu Xin: "Let me see what the Sand Princess is capable of!"
Gu Xin sensed it as he threw the hammer. She turned around, easily leaped, caught the hammer steadily, landed, and struck a beautiful pose.
A pair of beautiful phoenix eyes looked at Yan Jin: "Little Prince, please!"
When Gu Xin looked at him like that, the young prince of Salim blushed, and he awkwardly turned his head to ask the servant to get him another weapon.
Gu Xin was completely unaware of the changes in her appearance. In her mind, she was still that silly little girl in Kuncheng. Although she was prettier than the average person, she didn't have the kind of charm that could make people blush at first glance.
For the past year, she felt like she was living among men, just like one. She was also unkempt and had gotten tanned. Although everyone said she was pretty, she thought it was just a compliment because of her status.
She's beautiful but unaware of it.
Yan Jin picked up another iron hammer, walked to the middle, and waved it at Gu Xin: "Princess Xin Xin, you're about my age. Don't cry if I hit you later!"
Gu Xin smiled brightly: "I'll say the same thing to you, little prince. Don't cry when I hit you later!"
As she spoke, she swung the hammer just like the Little Prince, effortlessly.
King Shalin laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Jin'er, don't hurt your sister Xin Xin later."
Sister Xin Xin.
Gu Xin paused, her eyes stinging a little. It had been such a long, long time since she had heard that address.
Since this kid's dad is so understanding, let's not beat him until he cries!
