"Fine! Then send my father here and exchange him for your princess! I will never hurt her!" Gu Xin said, turning to leave.
"Halt!" The city gates swung open, and a general named Yunhai emerged from within.
Gu Xin stared at him coldly.
"Release the princess, and we'll let you go. Otherwise..." Yunhai Dajun slowly raised his hand, behind him a vast army of Yunhai soldiers.
"Brother, bring some men over here!" Gu Xin shouted.
Cheng Huaijin and his men rushed over without hesitation.
General Yunhai frowned deeply.
"Take him with you! Take him back to the Great Zhou people," Gu Xin said after Cheng Huaijin arrived.
Cheng Huaijin's men went to carry Peng Sanlang.
Both sides remained tense throughout, neither daring to make a move.
The quicksand army was also on standby at all times.
Gu Xin held Ajir hostage and retreated step by step. As long as Ajir didn't follow, she would stab deeper with her sword. After just one time, Ajir dared not disobey.
This Dugu Xin is just as crazy as she is; she's capable of things that would lead to mutual destruction, and she's truly afraid of her.
General Yunhai stared intently at Ajir.
This time, Gu Xin didn't interfere. She sensed that Ajir was scared, and she wasn't worried that Ajir would give the other party a meaningful look.
The chances of arresting Ajir today are slim; they can only use this to take Peng Sanlang away.
Of course, she would do everything in her power to take Agil away.
She was also afraid of dying and didn't dare to kill Agil directly.
She believed that as long as she killed Agil, arrows and stones from the city walls would rain down on her.
She still has many things to do, so she won't risk her life for another.
Peng Sanlang was quickly brought back to the Great Zhou army, and General Ying left with his men as planned.
Only the Quicksand army remained on the field.
"Dugu Xin, so you're going to help the Great Zhou people collect their corpses so they can have a complete body?" Ajir asked, suddenly realizing.
Gu Xin remained silent.
"Do you think that if you bring their general's body back, they will be free of resentment?" Agil said again.
Gu Xin still didn't answer, but just kept backing away.
Finally, they retreated to a distance where they could not be hit by arrows, while General Yunhai and his army approached step by step.
"Halt!" Gu Xin looked at General Yunhai.
"Release our princess!" General Yunhai repeated his words.
"What if we don't let go?" Gu Xin asked.
"If you don't release them, you'll all die!" General Yunhai waved his hand, and soon another group of troops appeared inside the city gate, with Yunhai's army filling the area below the city wall.
Gu Xin frowned.
She knew that the Cloud Sea Army was the largest in the west, but she never expected that Agil could bring so many people to defend Giant Stone City.
Fortunately, they didn't launch a full-scale attack; otherwise, they would have suffered a crushing defeat.
“Princess Xin Xin, if you promise to release me, I will guarantee your safe departure,” Ajir suddenly said.
"I don't believe your guarantee," Gu Xin said directly.
“How about this, let’s agree on a safe distance for both of us, and you can put me down,” Agil said again.
Gu Xin looked at Cheng Huaijin.
Cheng Huaijin nodded to her.
Then Gu Xin helped Ajir mount his horse and they began to gallop at full speed.
After reaching a certain distance, she didn't want to let go of Agil, but someone shot arrows from behind, so she had no choice but to throw Agil off and then speed up.
Agil was thrown down, and her general wanted to send men after her, but Agil stopped him: "If we go any further, we'll be in their trap."
General Yunhai said unwillingly, "Princess, they outnumber us."
Agil said, "It's precisely because they have fewer people that more people are guarding the trap. Are you going to walk right into their trap?"
