1733 Resistance....
Gu Nian also looked at Gu shouxin. She was also worried about Gu Xin.
She thought that with Gu Xin’s koi luck, she would be invincible and return safely. But now, it seemed that there was still danger. Even if Gu Xin wasn’t injured and the one who was in trouble wasn’t gu Xin.
“Don’t worry, it’s useless for us to leave now. The War in the West will end in the next one or two months. By the time we get there, everything will have happened. Now, the only thing we can do is to write a letter to Xinxin and the others and ask them to be careful.” Gu shouxin comforted his wife and daughter.
“So when are we going to leave?” Cai Xiaolian asked.
In the beginning, Gu shouxin had only planned to bring Gu Nian, Gu si, and Gu en along. Later, Cai Xiaolian insisted on going. Seeing that Cai Xiaolian had arranged all the business in kun city properly and expressed her determination, Gu shouxin also compromised.
“We’ll set off after the fifteenth. The emperor’s diplomatic group has not arrived yet. We have to wait for them to arrive before we set off together.” Gu shouxin said.
“Father, can’t we just leave first and wait for them there?” Gu Nian asked.
“I can’t,” Gu shouxin shook his head. as long as Xinxin and the others haven’t attacked the palace, we can’t leave.
If they didn’t bring Cai Xiaolian, it didn’t matter if they set off first, but if they had to bring Cai Xiaolian, Gu shouxin didn’t want to take any risks.
He would not take his wife to risk her life until the situation in the West was settled.
Gu Nian looked at Gu shouxin gloomily.
Cai Xiaolian pursed her lips and said,”deal. I’ll wait until the 15th day of the first month at the latest.” By then, no matter if there’s any news from Xinxin’s side, we must leave.”
Gu Nian nodded in agreement.
Gu shouxin smiled helplessly.
It was almost the new year. First uncle Gu, benefactor Cheng, and Majesty Kang, who were in chunnan city, had returned for the new year. Fourth uncle Gu had also returned from Baiyu city.
The jubilation in kun city was visible to the naked eye.
Only the Peng family didn’t hang up red lanterns on the 29th day of the new year. The servants of the Peng family were very careful when they spoke and did things.
The people outside couldn’t get any information.
In the entire kun city, only the Peng and Gu families knew that something had happened to Peng the fifth. At this juncture of the new year, the Peng family did not say anything about Peng the fifth’s accident. Even the girl who had given Peng the fifth a love token from the goddess Kingdom did not know.
The third lady of the Peng family was sick and could not get up, and the old general Peng’s hair was all white.
Although the Peng family had eight grandsons, they were all brought up by the old general Peng. He felt like he had returned to the state when his second son died in battle.
……
On the first day of the new year, Gu Xin and the others received the reinforcements that Peng ze had brought. On the afternoon of the same day, they attacked giant rock City.
There was still a city’s distance between gigantic Rock City and cloud Sea Royal City. After taking down gigantic Rock City, they would need to take another city to reach Cloud Sea Royal City.
Because they had lost several cities in succession, giant rock City had been carefully arranged by King Cloud Sea.
That afternoon, the quicksand Army failed to attack Boulder City. At night, Peng ze and Cheng huaijin tried to sneak into Boulder City to understand the situation of the other party, but they were discovered and couldn’t even pass the city gate.
Gu Xin looked at the tall city walls and squinted her eyes.
No wonder it was so easy to take down the first few cities. It turned out that most of the troops were deployed to the nearest city.
Lu Zheng, Xue Qianyu, and Helian Yi and Peng Erlang were in the same situation as them. In these three directions, they all encountered the same resistance.
