The Zhou army is coming in a fierce manner. General Gongsun just sent too many men to the checkpoint, and now they are blocked.
Meanwhile, Xue Qianyu's soldiers kept popping out one by one.
Soon, the battlefield became dominated by the Great Zhou, and General Gongsun ordered the army to retreat to their camp.
Defenses have also been built there, which can temporarily hold out for a while.
Xue Qianyu ordered the army to stop pursuing and then had all the goddess warriors at the checkpoint arrested.
...
At dawn, as soon as the city gate opened at the north gate of the royal city, Princess Jinghe and He Sanniang left the city and headed north.
Gu Hui woke up in the princess's residence. She sat on the bed and thought for a while, then decided to go to the palace immediately to call Peng Ze to leave the palace together and find Dugu Jiu.
She had just left the princess's residence when the Tenth Princess and Yan Mo returned.
Yan Mo supported the Tenth Princess, his face full of concern: "I told you I could go by myself. Xiang'er, you're not well, you can't overexert yourself. Look, you're really exhausted. It breaks my heart!"
The Tenth Princess leaned against Yan Mo and patted his arm: "It's alright. Xiang'er can handle it, as long as we can work together on important matters. Husband, the young lady from the Yuchi family wasn't trying to harm you last night. She's just used to whipping people at the drop of a hat. Don't take it to heart. We need the Yuchi family's support now. In the future, she won't dare to be so presumptuous in front of you!"
Yan Mo shook his head helplessly: "I understand. I've seen women who wield whips quite skillfully before, no less so than Miss Yuchi..."
Yan Mo suddenly stopped in his tracks, and the image of Princess Jinghe appeared in his mind.
Then he recalled that he had met Princess Jinghe in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty at the beginning of the year before last, and then he thought of the back view of Murong Erniu that he had seen yesterday.
It's so incredibly similar.
The tenth princess looked at Yan Mo with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"
Yan Mo came to his senses: "Xiang'er, can you still hold on? If possible, I'll take up some of your time to call the Murong sisters over. I suddenly thought of something and wanted to ask them. I hope I'm just overthinking it."
Yan Mo remembered that when they were on the island, Madam Peng had Princess Jinghe under her command. At the beginning of last year, when he was still in the Great Zhou army camp, the Yan family wrote a letter saying that Princess Jinghe had sneaked out to play, and asked him to see if he could seize the opportunity to marry the princess.
What if Princess Jinghe hadn't sneaked out, but instead went to Kuncheng with General Peng and the Gu family?
Princess Jinghe reminded him of Gu Hui and Gu Nian. Although the three Murong sisters looked completely different from these three, their figures were very similar.
Ever since he met Gu Nian a few years ago, he knew that the things in the Gu sisters' shop were very peculiar, especially the tools for women's makeup, which could make a plain-looking woman look radiant and beautiful, as if she had become a completely different person.
The Great Zhou Dynasty couldn't send men into the Goddess Kingdom, so they might send women instead.
He dared not think any further.
Seeing his solemn expression, the Tenth Princess immediately sent someone to summon Gu Hui and Princess Jinghe.
The two sat down in the main hall to wait, and the Tenth Princess asked Yan Mo.
Yan Mo shared his guess: he had now completely won the Tenth Princess's heart, and he wouldn't deliberately hide many things from her.
The tenth princess was stunned after hearing this. If her husband's guess was correct, then they were giving someone an opportunity!
Yan Mo comforted her, "Don't worry, let's ask them first, and then I'll go to the palace to find Peng Ze. We'll go when they're completely unprepared."
