Gu Nian and Gu Xin have been in Linshan for half a month. Although they can run around in Linshan after the army breaks through the southern border, and although someone comes to report news from the front every other day, they are still a little worried!
There are not only Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu over there, but also Gu Shouxin, Gu Hui, and Princess Jinghe.
The two sisters prayed every day, hoping that the five people would be safe.
Every morning, Gu Nian heard Gu Xin praying to the heavens, hoping that her father, eldest sister, Yuan Yuan, Xue Erge, and Zhen Jie would return safely, and that the Great Zhou Dynasty would achieve great victory.
Hearing this chanting, she relaxed a little; it was a blessing from the little koi fish!
But every night, she starts to worry again.
Day after day, week after week, Gu Nian felt like she was going crazy.
In her past life, she lived in a peaceful era and could never have experienced the worries she feels now.
The plot has fallen apart, and she can no longer rely on it to make inferences.
On July 19th, the two sisters rode their horses to the riverbank. The weather had been very hot and humid lately, and the two sisters would come to the river to swim every other day.
Of course, they would take a shower in the tent every day.
That day, the two sisters were about to go into the water when they saw a human head in the water.
"Brother Shuanzi? Sister, look, isn't that Brother Shuanzi, one of General Ze's men?" Gu Xin had sharp eyes and recognized the man.
Gu Nian looked over and narrowed her eyes: "Xin Xin, go and call for help. He's injured. I'll go over first."
Gu Xin nodded and hurried back to the water camp to call for help.
Gu Nian went into the water and floated over.
Soon, Gu Xin arrived with the water camp people, and Gu Nian had already pulled the bolt.
The people from the water camp quickly floated over and brought Shuanzi back to shore.
Shuanzi's body was swollen and he had injuries. The wounds had been soaked in water for who knows how long and were already swollen.
This time, Peng Ze only brought a thousand naval soldiers to set up camp. Half a month ago, he led three hundred men to chase after people who had fled by waterway, and this Shuanzi was one of them.
"Brothers, please make way. I need to give Brother Shuanzi acupuncture and check on his condition." Gu Xin took out some silver from her bag.
Although she had only studied for three years, Grandma Xiao had taught her how to stab a comatose person awake, and she also planned to feed the boy a jade bead.
General Na Ze is the man my eldest sister has her eye on; he's her future brother-in-law, and she's willing to use jade beads for him.
Just like before when she fed Xue Qianyu the jade beads, Xue Qianyu had saved Gu Nian's life, so she didn't care about anything else!
After Gu Xin inserted the needle, she took advantage of the opportunity to examine Shuanzi and pried open his mouth. A jade bead quickly slid into Shuanzi's mouth, and no one saw it clearly.
Soon, Shuanzi woke up.
"Shuanzi, where is General Ze?" someone from the naval camp asked.
"Quickly, hurry back to Kuncheng and tell the General that General Ze and the others are trapped on the Nameless Island. They have already intercepted those who escaped from the Southern Frontier. The Nameless Island is located in the sea between the Goddess Kingdom and the Jin Nan Kingdom," Shuanzi said.
"Okay! We'll go right away!" The people from the water camp immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Kuncheng by carrier pigeon.
On Madam Peng's side, messages sent by carrier pigeon could not reach her. To be precise, they did not know where Madam Peng was in the southern border region. Wouldn't the pigeons get lost if they flew there?
Therefore, we still have to rely on people to deliver messages.
Gu Nian and Gu Xin exchanged a glance; they wanted to go.
Previously, Gu Shouxin and Xue Qianyu had firmly prevented them from going, but now that Gu Shouxin wasn't around, no one could stop them.
The Southern Frontier has already been defeated. They should be fine if they go with the others.
Peng Jiajun couldn't persuade them, so he had no choice but to take them with him.
Fortunately, both of them rode horses quite well and were able to keep up with the messenger's speed.
