Cheng Huaijin didn't know how to comfort Gu Xin, so he could only listen to her cry silently.
He couldn't help but think of his younger sister, who probably cried just like Xin Xin when she turned 18 two years ago!
well……
The royal palace is the tallest building in the capital city of Liusha Kingdom. At this moment, the two of them are lying on the top of the tallest building. Cheng Huaijin was a little saddened by Gu Xin's crying, so he sat up and looked around the city of Liusha at night.
Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes: "Xin Xin, look quickly, isn't someone moving fast over there?"
"Hiccup~" Gu Xin hiccuped, quickly sat up, and looked in the direction Cheng Huaijin was pointing. "Hiccup~ Brother Jin, those people over there are not only moving quickly, but they're heading towards the palace. They don't seem friendly! Hiccup~"
Hearing her hiccup, Cheng Huaijin was both amused and exasperated: "...Then let's..."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Xin stood up. While crying, she removed the sandbags from her wrists, then bent down to remove the sandbags from her ankles, and then straightened up to stretch her limbs: "These people are so kind. They knew it was my birthday, and only you and Uncle Jun were with me. They specially chose this full moon night to come to my door as my sparring partners. Humph, after I beat them up, I'll make them try the poison I just concocted using ingredients from the Flowing Sand Kingdom."
Cheng Huaijin laughed: "Yes, it is excessive."
Gu Xin took a handkerchief to wipe her snot and tears, then leaped from the rooftop to the ground.
Cheng Huaijin smirked.
Recently, some sons of military officers have been privately commenting on Xin Xin's beauty, praising her as if she were a fairy from heaven. They said that even when she was fighting, she was ethereal and otherworldly. One day, they saw Xin Xin gnawing on a leg of lamb and were so shocked that they didn't recognize her, as if fairies didn't eat.
Cheng Huaijin really wanted to bring this group of people over to see the fairy crying with snot and tears all over her face. He thought, "Your fairy is not only generous when she's eating lamb legs, but she's also very generous when she's sniffling."
Cheng Huaijin followed Gu Xin while thinking about it.
He noticed that Gu Xin became much more agile after removing the sandbags from her hands and feet. He also planned to try it out with a few tomorrow.
How many should I tie?
He planned to ask Gu Xin if Young Master Zhou did morning exercises with them and if he wore sandbags. If Young Master Zhou didn't wear sandbags, how many did Sister Huihui wear?
Cheng Huaijin had never witnessed Gu Hui's strength. Anyway, starting tomorrow, he would have to endure the hardships of carrying sandbags that were much heavier than Gu Xin's every day. Gu Hui was older than him, but she was a girl. He felt that even though it was heavy, he had to grit his teeth and persevere.
Gu Xin arrived at the west gate of the palace, which was the usual place for palace slaves to enter and exit. It was normal for the other party to choose to sneak in through the west gate.
Gu Xin planned to trap him like a turtle in a jar, so when she arrived at the west gate, she hid behind a stone pillar, waiting for someone to sneak in.
Cheng Huaijin then found the gatekeepers on the west side and gave them a few instructions, the gist of which was to tell them not to make a move yet, as Princess Xinxin wanted to practice.
Soon, the four men in black sneaked in.
The four men looked at the gatekeepers, who were fast asleep, and felt quite relaxed. They didn't even need to lift a finger, so it seemed their mission for the day would be completed smoothly.
Gu Xin and Cheng Huaijin waited for the four of them to walk forward from behind the stone pillars facing each other.
The four people were almost at the level of the stone pillar when Gu Xin and Cheng Huaijin made their move at the same time.
Gu Xin's moves were sharp and fierce, using all the techniques that Gu Shouxin, Lu Zheng, Gu Hui, and Gu Nian had taught her over the years.
