Peng Mu was covered in filth and unable to move.
Gu Xin took out a small medicine bottle from her bosom, and Cheng Huaijin instructed Gao Zibing to clean Peng Mu's body.
Their collaboration over the past year has been so seamless that they don't even need words; they understand each other's intentions perfectly.
Gu Xin stepped forward and had Gao Zibing pry open Peng Mu's mouth. She put a translucent pill into Peng Mu's mouth and fed it to him, then asked Cheng Huaijin, "Brother, he won't die. What about the person next to him?"
Cheng Huaijin glanced at Yun Na, whose condition was similar to Peng Mu's: "He's dead, so be it. We don't need to worry about him."
When Peng Mu woke up and saw Gu Xin, he finally understood what he had been struggling with for so long. He wanted to ask her something, but his tongue had been cut off, and he couldn't speak.
Seeing that Peng Mu had woken up, Cheng Huaijin asked Gu Xin, "Do you have any good medicine to stop the bleeding? A good medicine to stop the bleeding that can keep him alive even after his limbs have been cut off?"
Gu Xin was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.
Cheng Huaijin then looked at the urn containing the ashes in Gu Yingxue's arms, and with a sword, chopped off Peng Mu's limbs.
...
That evening, a wagon carrying no supplies appeared in the Great Zhou army's supply convoy. On the wagon was a large wine vat, and Peng Mu's head was resting on the vat. His eyes could move, so he was still alive. Next to the wine vat was Cheng Huaiyu's urn.
Cheng Huaijin's idea was to let Peng Mu stay by Xiao Yu's side, so that Xiao Yu could watch Peng Mu suffer day and night. For every bit of suffering Xiao Yu endured by Peng Mu's side, Peng Mu would repay her double by being by her side.
Therefore, Cheng Huaijin also asked Gu Xin to find a trustworthy person to keep a close eye on Peng Mu and make sure he doesn't die.
Besides her family, the person Gu Xin trusted most was Lu Zheng. The people Lu Zheng gave her, including Bai Yi and others, were the ones she trusted the most. Gu Xin wanted to suggest that Bai Jiu come, but Gu Yingxue volunteered: "Sister Xin Xin, Brother Xiao Jin, let me do it. I will keep a close eye on Peng Mu and make sure he doesn't die."
Gu Xin looked at Gu Yingxue and sighed. This girl probably wouldn't get over it. She would definitely keep this matter in her mind. Even if she wasn't allowed to do it, she would do it herself.
So, Gu Xin gave Gu Yingxue a medicine bottle: "Give him one pill every two days. We'll go back to Liusha Kingdom together in a couple of days. I'll make more pills there."
Gu Yingxue nodded: "Mm!"
The city was burned down; Cheng Huaijin and Gu Xin set it on fire together, and everyone inside was buried with Cheng Huaiyu.
The two, posing as the prince and princess of the Flowing Sand Kingdom, promised Helian Yi that they would compensate him with gold coins.
Helian Yi already had a good impression of Gu Xin and considered Cheng Huaijin a brother, so naturally he had no objections. All the Gaoz people in the city had already been relocated.
The fire burned for three days and three nights without stopping, and all the soldiers of the Great Zhou were summoned by Peng Erlang to watch over the fire.
On the fourth day, Cheng Huaijin finally washed himself clean and went to rest.
Gu Xin met with Peng Erlang and the Peng family army.
"Brother Peng, it's been a long time!" Gu Xin smiled at Peng Erlang.
"Xinxin, you've grown up!" Peng Erlang exclaimed.
"If I haven't grown up after going through all the storms, then I'm stupid!" Gu Xin joked.
"Come sit here." Peng Erlang smiled and shook his head, inviting Gu Xin to take a seat.
"How many people from Da Zhou came?" After sitting down, Gu Xin got straight to the point. If it weren't for Cheng Huaiyu's matter, she might have asked about Kuncheng's situation, but now, she didn't want to ask anything. She just wanted to quickly defeat Yunhai and take Xiaoyu home as soon as possible.
