Lu Zheng lowered his head: "It is my honor to serve the princess! Please rest assured, princess, I will do my best."
Agil nodded: "Yes. The reason we chose you is because you seem harmless, so people won't be wary of you, which makes it easier for you to get things done."
Lu Zheng: "Okay, I understand."
Agil added, "After your brother's funeral, we'll have a tough battle to fight. I might also be away on campaigns, so take good care of yourself in the capital."
Lu Zheng asked in surprise, "Is that Goz Kingdom very powerful?"
Agil shook his head: "It's not that Goz is powerful, but that this matter is not simple. It's been a conspiracy since Liangjing. It seems like the maternal relatives of the third, fourth, and fifth sons surrendered to Liangjing, but in reality, there must be a mastermind behind it all. Otherwise, why would it be such a coincidence? I was in trouble, my mother brought people to rescue me, my brother led troops to attack Goz, and then my brother died, and I was saved. Have you ever thought about it? If my father had given my brother all his troops, Goz would have been defeated, and I would have certainly died. There are only three places weaker than Yunhai: Goz, Liangjing, and Shalin. Now Goz and Liangjing are in trouble, but only Shalin is safe. The mastermind behind this is very likely Shalin."
Lu Zheng suddenly realized, "The Shalin tribe did this because they wanted either Liang Jing or Gao Zi to cooperate with them and fight against Yun Hai together. If Yun Hai wipes out either of them, the other will definitely feel threatened and will definitely come after Shalin."
Agil gave Lu Zheng an approving look: "That's right. But their ambitions are definitely not like that. Now that Liangjing has been destroyed by us, and Yunhai has lost a fierce general like my brother, Shalin will inevitably join forces with Goz. At the same time, they will do what we have been doing all along: subjugating the small tribes. Most of the other small tribes are in Yunhai's hands, and now only the group in the south is left!"
Lu Zheng's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't that group in the south the same one from the Liusha Kingdom? This Agil really thinks far ahead!
Agil continued, "So what we need to do is not to attack Gorz, but to first take control of the south!"
Lu Zheng's eyes widened, and as Agil looked over, he gave a thumbs up: "Princess, you're brilliant!"
Agil ignored his flattery and continued, "As far as I know, a kingdom called 'Quicksand Kingdom' has risen to power in the south this year. Many small tribes around them have migrated further west. They have not only taken over the people of those tribes but have also begun to persuade those tribes that haven't migrated. Therefore, the first target for attacking the south is the Quicksand Kingdom!"
Lu Zheng nodded but did not reply.
Ajir's importance in the hearts of King Yunhai and Queen Yunhai is no less than that of the eldest prince. If she says so, then she will most likely do it.
He needed to find an opportunity to send a letter to the Flowing Sand Kingdom, but if he went back, the entire Cloud Sea Tribe would definitely be under martial law, and his letter might not be able to get through.
Lu Zheng thought of Bai Er. He had heard that Bai Er had made a contribution this time, so perhaps Bai Er could be sent back with a message. At that time, he should be able to enter and leave the royal city.
Inside the carriage, the two men had different thoughts.
Meanwhile, Gu Xin and Helian Yi had already led Gao Zi's team to the Shalin tribe.
King Shalin was an old man nearing fifty, but he looked very energetic. He treated Helian Yi and Gu Xin as if they were his own nephews and nieces.
