The next day at noon, the man in white returned.
He brought back a few simple cosmetic items, several sets of white clothes, all in Cheng Huaiyu's size, and a white ceramic jar.
Gu Yingxue washed Cheng Huaiyu clean yesterday, and now she has dressed Cheng Huaiyu, drawn her eyebrows, applied powder, and put on lip rouge.
As evening approached, with the help of the supply convoy, they cremated Cheng Huaiyu and placed his ashes in a white jar.
Gu Yingxue respectfully kowtowed three times to Cheng Huaiyu, and the soldiers of the supply corps present also paid their respects to the ashes.
Without this young lady, the plan wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
Bai Yi spoke a few words to the general of the supply corps, and then everyone dispersed, leaving only Gu Yingxue, Bai Yi, and Bai Jiu on this side.
"Brother Bai, can you help me see Brother Xiao Jin?" Gu Yingxue asked.
"Okay." The man in white nodded.
“Okay. Please protect me well. I will take my sister to see Brother Xiao Jin. I will take my sister to witness the destruction of Langge Kingdom and Yunhai Tribe!” After a pause, Gu Yingxue added, “Send a message back to my second uncle and have him send ten boxes of fire over urgently. I want Yun Na’s men and all the people of Langge Kingdom to be buried with my sister.”
“Alright! I’ll go find General Ying in a bit and have him send a message to Lord Gu.” The man in white nodded.
"Thank you." Gu Yingxue hugged the urn and turned to rest in a corner.
...
In the Kingdom of Gaozi, Cheng Huaijin woke up. King Gaozi had the doctor take his pulse again, and it was confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his health.
Cheng Huaijin felt very sad, inexplicably sad. He didn't know what was wrong with him; he just couldn't muster any energy.
Seeing Cheng Huaijin's state, King Gaozi wanted him to return home. Helian Yi should arrive in a day or two, so he went to talk to Cheng Huaijin.
Cheng Huaijin thought about it and ultimately did not agree. Although King Gaozi was inclined to join forces, he had not completely agreed.
Moreover, he always felt that if he went back, he would miss something, and a voice inside him told him that he had to wait here.
A few days later, Cheng Huaijin got what he was waiting for.
On the evening of October 19th, the palace suddenly became lively. Helian Yi sent someone to tell Cheng Huaijin that General Yunna was being chased by people from the east and was now begging for protection under their city walls.
Having lived in the west for so many years, Cheng Huaijin naturally knew who General Yun was. He quickly changed his clothes, tidied himself up, and went outside.
Outside, King Goz was discussing with his ministers whether or not to accept General Yunna. Goz was divided into two factions: one wanted to join forces with the Shifting Sands Kingdom, which would inevitably lead to a confrontation with Yunhai; the other wanted to remain neutral, close its borders, and avoid trouble. Now that the Shifting Sands Kingdom had become powerful, Yunhai would not come after Goz, so they could completely remain unaffected.
When Cheng Huaijin came out, no one spoke.
Cheng Huaijin smiled and said, "Please continue, everyone. I'm just a lone wolf prince of the quicksand, without even a carrier hawk, so there's nothing I can do!"
After saying that, Cheng Huaijin sat down in his usual seat, drank a glass of wine, and said, "Gaz's seat is quite good, connecting the east and the west. As far as I know, Yuna led an army of 150,000 to the east, and so many people were chased back by the Great Zhou! The east and the west are so far apart, I wonder if the Great Zhou will lump all the forces in the west together."
