Dressed in her guard uniform, He San Niang walked confidently to the palace gate and then hid in a corner.
It seems the eldest brother didn't forbid her from listening to General Ze!
She usually went to the naval camp to eavesdrop, and was used to listening to General Ze.
Damn it, what if the boss yells at her when she gets out?
What if I get caught?
He San Niang is now stuck, unable to go back or continue.
Just as she was at her wit's end, a carriage was slowly approaching the palace gate from the side gate.
He San Niang's eyes lit up; it was the cart that transported swill and night soil every night.
He San Niang walked towards that side, hugging the palace wall.
She was glad that Queen Dugu was not extravagant. Even though the Goddess Kingdom had mountains of gold and silver, only the main gate of the palace was brightly lit, while the side gates were poorly lit.
Upon reaching the side gate, the driver knocked on the window and handed over the reins to the gatekeeper.
He San Niang climbed down to the bottom and grabbed the plank.
The gatekeeper came out, made a token inspection of the contents of the carriage, and then went to open the side gate.
The driver drove away, and the gatekeeper closed the side gate and went back to sleep.
He San Niang held her breath and gripped tightly.
She was really glad that she often went to the water camp to secretly watch the men, and would practice their training on land when she had nothing to do. She even secretly broke into the water camp's training base.
Over the years, she has become one of the best in the women's battalion when it comes to individual combat skills.
After about fifteen minutes in the carriage, He San Niang let go of her hand and lay down on the ground.
Only the light from the carriage illuminated the long street; the rest of the street was pitch black. He San Niang waited until the carriage had gone far away before standing up.
They evaded the patrolling guards before heading towards the princess's residence.
Having lived in the princess's residence for so long, she had long since figured out where she could sneak in without being discovered.
They arrived smoothly at the place where Gu Hui and Princess Jinghe lived.
It's so late, and neither of them is asleep. They can't sleep because of the letter they received during the day.
Both of them were startled when they saw He San Niang suddenly appear.
He San Niang said softly, "I've already checked, there's no one watching outside."
After saying that, he repeated Peng Ze's instructions.
Gu Hui frowned.
Princess Jinghe said speechlessly, "The three of us came to save him. If he stays and we leave, then we've come for nothing."
He Sanniang said, "General Ze said we didn't come for nothing, because we are going to Shennv Mountain to meet up with the army and deliver the news to the royal city."
Gu Hui thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you two leave immediately and wait at the city gate. When the city gate opens tomorrow morning, head north and join the army."
Princess Jinghe and He Sanniang asked in unison, "And what about you?"
Gu Hui looked at Princess Jinghe: "I'm going to find Peng Ze. If the three of us disappear together, Queen Dugu and the Tenth Princess will definitely make things clear, and Peng Ze's life will be in danger. If I'm here, I can reveal my identity and use the Kuncheng defense map to save my life. Yan Mo knows me, and his ambitions extend beyond the Goddess Kingdom and the Great Zhou; he also has ambitions for several other countries. Without the Kuncheng defense map, his ambitions cannot be realized. Your deal with Dugu Jiu is almost done. If the army doesn't arrive by then, I can take Peng Ze to Dugu Jiu and reveal our identities. I believe he will help us. Hasn't he always considered male marriage alliances a disgrace? I have a way to get him to help us."
Princess Jinghe and He Sanniang were both unwilling. They would have been willing if the three of them had left together, but they were definitely unwilling to leave while Gu Hui stayed behind.
