"Why not unite with the western forces, wait for the Great Zhou to attack, and wipe them out in one fell swoop!" said King Yunhai.
Queen Yunhai also had this idea.
Ajir hesitated: "Dugu Xin seems very determined, as if she doesn't want to join us. If possible, I would certainly agree."
Queen Yunhai thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Agil, after you recover from your injuries, take some men and go to the Flowing Sand Kingdom in person, then head towards Shalin and Goz. By then, Yunna and the others should be back. Judging by the time, they should arrive in November. Even if we can't persuade them, there won't be a war this winter, so we still have time to recuperate!"
King Yunhai nodded: "Your mother is right. Let's send people to the other three kingdoms to deliver visiting cards first. After you've rested, you can go and visit them one by one!"
Agil shook his head: "We can't judge the present by the past. If their goods really came from the sea, they can start a war in winter, and it will definitely be to their advantage! I think we should do this: I'll go to the Shifting Sands Kingdom. As for the Salin Tribe and the Goz Kingdom, you two, Father and Mother, take one of them and leave the other to guard the capital. In any case, it would be best if we could make peace for the time being."
King and Queen of the Cloud Sea exchanged a glance and agreed with Agil's statement.
Then the family of three started preparing.
That evening, Lu Zheng was summoned to Ajir's study. Upon hearing Ajir's description, Lu Zheng knew that Peng Ze had returned and brought back quite a few things.
Upon hearing Ajir's decision, he changed his mind and decided not to take Bai Er and the others back for the time being, but to remain inside the Cloud Sea.
The Yunhai army is indeed massive in number. Even if the Zhou army doesn't arrive, relying on Liusha Gorz and Shalin would indeed result in mutual destruction.
He didn't want the casualties in the Flowing Sand Kingdom to be too great, because it was the Flowing Sand Kingdom that protected Xin Xin when she was in the most difficult time.
"When the time comes, you will come with me to the Flowing Sand Kingdom and find an opportunity to extract information about their grain reserves and current military strength. You don't seem like a military general, so act honest and ask questions skillfully to lower their guard," Agil instructed Lu Zheng.
Ever since Lu Zheng went to Liangjing Kingdom with Queen Yunhai, Ajir has trusted Lu Zheng completely.
It's a shame that such a good-looking person, good in every way, just doesn't know kung fu.
Otherwise, she would have seriously considered making him her son-in-law.
Lu Zheng was unaware of Ajir's thoughts; otherwise, he would have been extremely glad that he had never revealed his kung fu skills.
After leaving Agil's room, Lu Zheng changed his clothes late at night and went to find Bai Er and the others.
...
In Langge Kingdom, Gu Yingxue, accompanied by Bai Yi and Bai Jiu, had already crossed the border and was heading towards the location marked on the map. Behind them was a long convoy transporting provisions.
This time, we're pursuing them with the intention of hitting their western stronghold head-on, so we can't skimp on supplies.
Transporting provisions for a large army in the desert requires a water transport team; otherwise, people would die of thirst.
Gu Yingxue was completely covered up, with only her face showing. Riding on a camel, she saw a person sitting up from a pile of corpses not far away. Her eyes lit up, and she dismounted and ran over.
Bai Yi and Bai Jiu quickly followed.
"Where's my sister?" Gu Yingxue asked anxiously after running closer and confirming that the person in front of her was the butler.
