Gu Hui's intuition was always accurate; the Cloud Sea King's men were holding the Flowing Sand Kingdom's ruler and Gu Yingxue on the road Gu Hui had mentioned.
Late at night, the King of Liusha and Gu Yingxue were walking slowly, but their hands and feet were tied together, and they were being pulled along by Yunhai King's men on a rope.
"Hurry up! Are you trying to stall for time so someone can rescue you?" Yunhai Wang's subordinate said impatiently.
It's so cold at night!
They had only intended to capture the ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom, but they ended up running into this brat. And this brat actually knew kung fu! Weren't the women of the Great Zhou supposed to be weak? This brat was incredibly wild; they almost couldn't escape.
"Gentlemen, please release this young lady! She is a woman, so her movements are naturally slow," said the King of Liusha.
"Hmph, don't think we don't know what you're thinking. Release her and let her go and report back? That's the territory of the Quicksand Army over there. Do you think we're stupid?" said one of the Cloud Sea King's subordinates.
"Then at least let us rest! This girl from Great Zhou is quite frail. She was exhausted from fighting with you earlier. She has no water to drink and no food to eat. If you let her starve to death, I might as well commit suicide too. Your king's plan to use me to threaten my children will be completely futile." The King of Liusha looked like a shameless scoundrel.
Gu Yingxue cooperated perfectly by falling to the ground.
"You bitch! Get up!" Yunhai Wang's men stepped forward and kicked Gu Yingxue.
"Give her water and food. What good will it do you to kick her to death?" the King of the Shifting Sands roared.
Yunhaiwang's men huddled together and discussed it, and in the end, they gave Gu Yingxue water and food.
Gu Yingxue looked completely exhausted.
Yunhai Wang's men cursed as they fed her the powder. Just then, Gu Yingxue drew out four deadly weapons from her sleeve, scattering powder that instantly rendered the four Yunhai Wang men powerless.
At the same time, the King of Liusha helped Gu Yingxue take the Xi Shi Heart and fed it to the group.
Gu Yingxue picked up their swords from the ground and killed the four men.
"Is Xue'er alright?" The King of Liusha Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief and asked.
"It's alright, Uncle Jun. Let's look for the key!" Gu Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief and said.
It was her first time killing someone. Her hand didn't tremble, and her heart didn't panic. She had seen too many corpses. On the city tower in Gorz, she had seen Cheng Huaijin kill so many people in a row, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. She was numb.
After their shackles were removed and they were given food and water, the two began running in the direction they had agreed upon during the day.
Yunhai King's subordinates couldn't understand the Great Zhou language and didn't know what the two were talking about during the day. Although they tried to stop them from speaking, the general meaning was that the two had already communicated with each other over the past few days.
These four deadly weapons were all given to Gu Yingxue by Gu Huijing, the princess, and He Sanniang before they left. She killed several of them when she encountered Yunhai King's men in the Liusha Palace, and only a few remained.
The two had been looking for an opportunity to use it, while Yun Haiwang's subordinates thought that Gu Yingxue still had some left, assuming that she had used them all.
Actually, she didn't have a chance to use that last bit before she was caught.
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom hasn't traveled much in recent years, but he still retains the experience he gained when he was young, conquering the west and creating the Flowing Sand Kingdom.
They each rode a horse and left.
However, just before dawn, the two encountered a sandstorm and lost their way. When the sun rose, they realized that they had completely deviated from their course.
