Gu Hui added, "Even if we win, the Great Zhou will be severely weakened and will need to recuperate. The Yunhai tribe in the west is eyeing us covetously. If we destroy the Langge Kingdom but cannot defend Kun City, it will be a net loss."
Madam Peng gave Gu Hui an approving look.
Zhang nodded as if she understood, but Gu Ren wanted to say something, but after being glanced at by Gu Shouxin, he obediently shut up.
Gu Hui suddenly said, "Grandpa, Grandma, Grandfather, Second Uncle, this time, I want to go to the Flowing Sand Kingdom with Aze."
Everyone looked at Gu Hui.
Gu Hui said, "The land of Liusha is barren. Aze came back this time for two reasons: first, to deliver a message, and second, to transport some seeds and medicinal herbs that Xinxin needs. Xinxin has to make medicine, train soldiers, and fight battles, so I want to share some of the burden with her. Besides, Aze and I just got married, and it's not good for us to be apart for too long."
Grandma Gu twitched her lips, "Only you could say that last sentence."
Grandpa Peng had no objections; he believed that Gu Hui was capable of protecting herself given her skills.
Gu Nian's mouth moved. She wanted to go too, but she knew she couldn't. The emperor had even set up an arms manufacturing bureau for her. She went to the capital in April and only returned a couple of days ago. She planned to go to the capital again in a few days.
General Peng glanced at Gu Hui, thought for a moment, and said, "How about this, let's discuss this in a couple of days. Let's prepare the necessary items first, consult with the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and then make a decision. What do you think?"
The Gu family members had no objections.
...
After seeing off the Peng family, Gu Nian and Gu Ren followed Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian to their room.
Gu Ren said angrily, "Second Uncle, believe me, Langge Kingdom is really not strong, really!"
Gu Shouxin glanced at Gu Ren: "How can you expect me to believe you? Did you know that King Qu is King Langge? What is King Langge's fate in your book?"
Gu Ren retorted, "Although I didn't specifically arrange for King Qu to be King Lang, King Lang destroyed himself after the male protagonist completely conquered Lang!"
Gu Shouxin laughed and said, "Then your male protagonist is omnipotent! He was able to conquer the Kingdom of Lange, and the King of Lange destroyed himself. Did he not know how to identify the corpse? And your male protagonist only discovered that the King of Lange was the King of Qu when he sneaked into the Lange Palace this January. So, who knows how much your book has been changed?"
Gu Ren cursed Lu Zheng inwardly. Of all things to ask for, he had to ask for three powerful figures for the female lead, making it impossible for him to control the plot.
Cai Xiaolian patted Gu Ren's newly grown hair: "Renren, to you, apart from your family, everyone else is just a supporting character, unimportant people. But we truly live in this world, and the soldiers of the Great Zhou are real, flesh-and-blood people. Can you bear to gamble their lives on something you don't even understand yourself?"
Gu Ren lowered his head.
When he was writing the book, he really didn't think about all that. As long as the male protagonist and his subordinates didn't die, that was fine.
Gu Nian patted Gu Ren: "You should focus on writing your story! Leave these things to Dad and the others. The plot of your book has already fallen apart, but the current story is that our little Xin Xin has incredible luck. Didn't you hear what my brother-in-law said? There were corpses all over the place, and she was covered in blood, but she wasn't injured. Even though she went to the west, God still protected Xin Xin."
Gu Ren looked at Gu Nian in surprise: "Big Head, you've actually started believing in God!"
Gu Nian: "...From the moment I traveled through time, I believed it."
