Gu Xin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the other few people who were about to make a move had been frightened.
If this were to happen a few more times, she was afraid she would throw up, really.
These people were kept by the ruler of Renchang Kingdom. They were well-dressed, fair-skinned, and plump. In Gu Xin's eyes, they were just like those wicked concubines who plundered the people's wealth.
She didn't kill everyone, but had Bai Si and Mo Fei check them over. They were all ordinary people without any fighting skills, completely helpless.
Gu Xin told them to leave the palace and find their own way out.
Then he summoned the steward who managed all the affairs of the palace for the King of Renchang and ordered him to take the soldiers of Liusha Kingdom to inform all the people of Renchang Kingdom that if they were willing to join Liusha Kingdom, they could come to the palace within three days to collect all the necessary supplies; if they were not willing, they could leave Renchang Kingdom within three days.
She then instructed Lord Gongsun to lead a team to inventory Ren Changguo's household register, recording all the children in Ren Changguo's families aged between sixteen and thirty. If any of them wished to join the Quicksand Army, they could be allowed to do so.
After that, Gu Xin went to rest.
She went to the well in the palace of King Renchang, drew water herself, and washed her hands again and again.
This wasn't the first time she had killed an enemy; as long as the enemy was conscious, she would wash herself clean.
Who wouldn't want to be a clean and pretty young girl?
But fate had other plans. She had to live, live to go back to see her family, and live to make Lu Zheng fulfill his promise to her.
Looking at the full moon reflected in the basin, Gu Xin thought of the first time she and Lu Zheng celebrated their birthdays.
At that time, she said she wanted to give the moon to Brother Yuanyuan, hoping that he would always be happy.
At that time, she said it didn't matter that Yuanyuan had lost his mother, because Yuanyuan had her. She wouldn't let Yuanyuan be alone.
Gu Xin's lips curved into a smile.
At that moment, Lu Zheng was also looking at the full moon in the sky through the window.
What is XinXin doing now?
Have you thought of me?
That little girl must be exhausted from training all day; she's probably fast asleep right now!
Looking at the round moon, Lu Zheng felt as if he were seeing Xin Xin's face.
That round face is so cute, I really want to pinch it!
By the way, Xin Xin has lost weight; she's not as round as she used to be!
No, once things are settled in the west, he must go back and give Xin Xin a proper makeover.
Go find Grandpa Gu and Niannian to teach him some of Xinxin's favorite dishes, and cook them for Xinxin yourself!
Lu Zheng's mind was filled with Gu Xin's face, and he slowly fell asleep.
Just as he fell asleep, there was a sudden noise outside, and he immediately opened his eyes.
He's at the Seventh Princess's residence now. Who's sneaking around like this?
Is it possible that the third, fourth, and fifth princes are finally about to make their move?
Lu Zheng sat up, somewhat excited.
He managed to win over the second and sixth princes, made the King of Cloud Sea despise the second prince's birth mother, killed the sixth prince's birth mother, and terrified the birth mothers of the third, fourth, and fifth princes.
He spread some rumors, believing that the princes and their mothers would feel threatened and then take action against the eldest prince and the seventh princess!
It's finally here!
He listened to the commotion outside and silently counted in his mind. He estimated that the Seventh Princess's people should have discovered it by the time he reached about twenty.
As he expected, before he even reached nineteen, the commotion outside grew louder.
As it turned out, the sounds outside made him realize something was wrong; the conversation wasn't what he expected!
"It's terrible! The Seventh Princess has been captured by the people of Liangjing Kingdom."
Someone outside was shouting loudly.
Lu Zheng immediately put on his shoes and got out of bed. Liang Jingguo was one of the three forces that, when combined, could rival the Yunhai Tribe.
How did they get involved at this point?
