"I can't rest easy until I see Yuanyuan and the others. Sigh!" Gu Xin sighed.
“Xinxin, you’re much younger than him. He should be the one worrying about you. Why are you worrying about him?” He Sanniang said seriously, sharing her experience. “We girls need to have our own strength, but we shouldn’t worry too much, or we’ll age faster. Look at Meng Meng. We’re engaged and live so far apart, but I don’t worry about him at all. He was transferred to Yunzhou, and there are barbarians there too.”
"Okay, then I won't worry about it," Gu Xin said with a smile.
"How much longer until we enter the territory of Yunhai?" Gu Hui asked, squinting as she looked ahead.
“One more day,” Gu Xin answered, then asked, “Big sister, is something wrong?”
She also remembered that her older sister's premonitions were always accurate.
“No, I just wanted to ask. If we have another day, we can stop and set up camp to rest. This place is spacious and not within Yunhai territory. We've already passed through it, which means there are no ambushes. If the people from Yunhai attack, this is a good place to fight. If we attack, they might have already set traps,” Gu Hui said.
“No,” Cheng Huaijin explained to Gu Hui. “This place used to be a small town in Yunhai. The terrain is flat, which is not conducive to making traps. Moreover, the people of Yunhai have always relied on force to win. However, we can rest here for one night.”
Gu Xin and Princess Jinghe had no objections.
In the early hours of that day, Gu Xin woke up and woke up the others.
"What's wrong?" The group looked at Gu Xin, puzzled.
"If there's any unusual activity, give the order to have everyone ready to go into battle at any time," Gu Xin said seriously.
Everyone:"?"
“We have Yunhai’s spies in our army. I’ve been keeping an eye on them a few times, but I haven’t told anyone. I suspect he’ll make a move tonight. He’s already gone out to report, and Yunhai’s army might be here soon. Let’s prepare ourselves, let them think we’re all asleep, let them underestimate us, and then we can deliver a fatal blow!” Gu Xin smiled.
The group looked at Gu Xin in surprise. The little girl was now able to keep things to herself. She hadn't said anything for so long. No wonder the other party hadn't realized that she had been discovered.
The group quickly went down to make arrangements.
Gu Xin tidied her hair, put on her helmet, wiped her sword with a handkerchief, and then walked out of the tent.
As expected, an hour later, there was movement in the direction of Yunhai, and it was quite significant.
Only a few dim lights were lit in the quicksand army camp. The person who left to deliver the message had been caught and knocked unconscious by Gu Xin's men after releasing the carrier pigeon.
This was Agil's most trusted man. Two months ago, Agil had tried to go on a mission to the Quicksand, but failed. However, he did manage to send several of his men into the Quicksand's military camp.
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom discovered several cases, but deliberately left one undiscovered so that the other side would think he had escaped unscathed. This also made Agil feel fortunate, because the more he did this, the more the other side would believe that he did not know.
Cheng Huaijin knew about this, so she wasn't as surprised as Gu Hui and the others.
Even if Cheng Huaijin didn't know, after spending the past year with Gu Xin, he felt that Gu Xin's actions were quite normal.
If Gu Xin were to unexpectedly find herself alone in a place with a completely different environment than before, she might not survive long at all if she remained as naive as before.
Therefore, he was not surprised.
