"Brother, Peng San is alright now. He'll recover with time and rest," Gu Xin said to Cheng Huaijin.
"You risked your life to save him, how could anything happen to him?" Cheng Huaijin said irritably.
"Brother, don't be like that! We're all family, I only did it because I was sure. Don't be angry, I won't do it again." Gu Xin felt a little guilty.
"How confident are you? If you're not absolutely certain, then you're risking your life." Cheng Huaijin said coldly, "Xinxin, I treat you like a sister, just like Xiaoyu. I've already lost one sister, and I don't want to see another sister in danger."
“Prince Ahai, don’t be angry with Xinxin. She was just trying to save people,” Princess Jinghe advised.
"No one is worth risking her life to save!" Cheng Huaijin retorted bluntly.
"Xiao Jin, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on Xin Xin from now on and won't let her take any more risks," Gu Hui said, pulling back Princess Jinghe who was about to argue.
Cheng Huaijin glanced at Gu Hui but didn't say anything.
Apart from the two sisters, Gu Nian and Gu Xin, Cheng Huaijin would treat everyone else in the Gu family with courtesy, out of respect for Gu Shouxin's past act of saving them. As for the others who were not members of the Gu family, he couldn't care less about them.
Therefore, he still gave Gu Hui face.
“Brother, let’s discuss what’s going on next. I think Agil’s men weren’t lying. They’ve captured Father, but they definitely haven’t brought him to Cloudsea Royal City yet. He’s probably on his way right now.” Gu Xin changed the subject at the right moment.
“Yes, that’s what I think too. So…” Cheng Huaijin glanced at Gu Hui and the other two, then looked at Gu Xin, “So, I plan to take people to rescue them. You guys will have to guard this place.”
After saying that, he went to the sand table and pointed to the route on it: "Now it seems that the people of Yunhai went to Liusha to kidnap Father King. There are two routes that are closer and more convenient. But this one is more likely. I will start from this direction, set up a checkpoint here and here, and then go around to get there. I should be able to catch up."
Gu Hui looked at it and asked, "Xiao Jin, why is this one more likely?"
Cheng Huaijin explained it to Gu Hui.
Gu Hui thought for a moment and said, "I have a suggestion. Xiao Jin, you can send someone to guard the road you mentioned, while you go to the other road. Everyone can think of this, and Yun Hai can definitely think of it too. If you don't send someone to the other road and only keep an eye on this one road, you might miss it."
Gu Xin looked at Gu Hui: "Big sister, do you think they will lead Father down a different path?"
Gu Hui hesitated for a moment and said, "I think that, based on the analysis, everyone probably thinks this route is more convenient and easier to travel. They will definitely think that since we think this way, they might take the other route instead?"
Gu Xin immediately made a decision: "Brother, listen to your older sister. You take the men and go down another road, and leave some men to guard this road."
Cheng Huaijin was puzzled.
Gu Xin smiled and said, "Big sister's intuition is always very accurate and has never been wrong. She either doesn't say anything at all, or when she does, it's absolutely accurate."
Cheng Huaijin didn't trust this so much, but he also felt that Gu Hui was right, that they shouldn't just focus on one path.
So he made an arrangement, sending many people to guard the road he had chosen, while he himself led a group of people to another road, setting off that very night without delay.
