Agil was taken back to Ganzhen City by her men. At this time, Agil was injured and could not return to Boulder City. No one knew the specific situation in Boulder City, and her men dared not take the risk.
Fortunately for Yunhai, they still have two carrier eagles that can deliver messages back to Yunhai Royal City.
That very night, King Yunhai received a letter brought back by a messenger hawk. Upon seeing that Agil was seriously injured, he immediately went to Ganzhen City.
Before he left, he instructed a few of his men that if he and Agil did not return, they should defend the city using his last method. Even if they were defeated, they should take as many people down with them. It would be even better if they could return.
...
Gu Hui and Peng Ze led their armies in a fierce battle against the Yunhai Army of Giant Stone City, while Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu led their armies in a fierce battle against the Yunhai Army of Fog Cloud City.
The battle lasted for three days and three nights, finally ending on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu occupied Mist Cloud City, while Gu Hui and Peng Ze occupied Giant Stone City.
Both sides suffered heavy casualties, and many people from Yunhai fled back to the royal city or Ganzhen City.
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom woke up the day after he was rescued. He had a head injury, but felt much better after taking Gu Xin's medicine.
Gu Yingxue, however, did not wake up for three days and three nights.
She is still alive, but she developed a high fever on the first night that wouldn't subside.
The next day, Gu Xin gave her a jade bead, and her fever subsided, but she remained unconscious. Gu Xin took her pulse and found that apart from the injury, everything else was normal and there was no danger to her life, but she still did not wake up.
Since her life was not in danger, Gu Xin and Cheng Huaijin went to the battlefield together, leaving the maid to take care of Gu Yingxue.
It wasn't until the fifth day of the first lunar month, after things had calmed down in Giant Stone City, that she and Gu Hui returned.
"What? He's still not awake?" Upon hearing the maid's report, Gu Xin rushed to Gu Yingxue's room without even checking on the King of Liusha.
The little bit of meat that was raised in the Quicksand Palace has disappeared in just a few days.
Gu Yingxue lay on the bed, her face deathly pale, her lips bloodless, and her furrowed brows revealing that she was still alive.
Gu Xin stepped forward to take his pulse, feeling both of his hands, and then fell into deep thought.
Since I started studying medicine, I have never encountered this situation before. The pulse was weak, but not to the point of unconsciousness.
"How is Xue'er doing?" Gu Hui asked.
"Big sister, I can't do it." Gu Xin frowned. "If Grandma Xiao were here, I would have never encountered a situation like this before. She only had a weak pulse, she shouldn't have fainted."
Gu Hui didn't know what to say.
On the other side, Cheng Huaijin was in the room of the King of Liusha. After checking on his injuries, Cheng Huaijin was relieved. He sat down next to the King of Liusha and said, "Father, I'm sorry you've suffered."
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom waved his hand: "I'm old and useless now! Alas!"
Cheng Huaijin looked at the King of Liusha: "Godfather, I will send more people to your side, and I will make sure that this kind of thing never happens to you again. Really."
"Good, having a son is truly wonderful!" the King of Liusha exclaimed, patting Cheng Huaijin's hand. "Ahai, your godfather knows the bitterness in your heart. You blamed Xue'er for your sister's death. This time, Xue'er took a knife for you, so let's forget about it! Of course, there's a saying, 'Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering.' If you can't forget, then your godfather won't force you. But your godfather hopes you won't make things harder for yourself! Okay?"
Cheng Huaijin remained silent.
"Father, I'm back!" Gu Xin arrived at that moment.
