1440 I don’t want to lose her again
....
After another two hours, Peng Erlang and the others came up.
The path inside was blocked by a huge rock and Gu Nian had nothing in her hands. She had used up all of them when she blew up the cave.
Then, Peng ze and the rest followed him up. He had planned to swim out of the underground river with the soldiers of the water camp, but after swimming for a short distance, he found that there were iron bars in the underground river, as if they were embedded in the surrounding stone walls. Water could pa.s.s through, but people could not.
There were still rocks blocking the path.
General Peng sent people to chisel the stones while Gu Nian rode back to get a few more things to blow up. She needed two days to get them out as she had already used up everything she had.
No one had expected that the situation under the pool would be like this.
……
In the afternoon, Lu Zheng was still panicking. He kept feeling that something had happened.
He informed Peng sanlang and Meng Meng and then returned to the city.
He had come back to take a shortcut and had to pa.s.s through the cave. When he pa.s.sed by, he noticed that something was wrong and stopped. There were people from the Peng family guarding this place.
He heard the commotion and immediately went down, pa.s.sing through the secret pa.s.sage.
Sixth Peng!
In her previous life, the only living grandchildren of the Peng family were Peng ze and Peng Liulang.
In that case, could the person who almost destroyed kun city be Peng Liulang?
Lu Zheng came out and rushed back to the Yamen on horseback to find Gu shouxin.
At this moment, it was already dawn, and Gu shouxin didn’t sleep for the whole night before he finally comforted Cai Xiaolian.
Last night, Gu shouxin had talked with the Emperor and old general Peng for a long time. The Emperor had sent a letter directly to capture sixth Peng and escort him to kun city. They had to act in secret and not let sixth Peng find out.
The person behind this definitely didn’t have Gu Xin in mind. Back then, Yin Yingli didn’t only pay attention to Gu Xin, but also to Gu si. Therefore, it was fine as long as she was the Gu family’s daughter.
If the person they caught this time was Gu si, Yin Yingli would definitely say that Gu Si was targeting her and Cheng Huaiyu, causing sixth brother Peng to hold a grudge.
Therefore, he must be alive.
Lu Zheng had been hurrying along and did not sleep. At this moment, his eyes were red, and his body was cold from the outside.
Gu shouxin met Lu Zheng at the Yamen.
When Lu Zheng saw Gu shouxin, he didn’t say anything and just stood aside.
“You know about it?” Gu shouxin asked.
“How long until niannian can make that thing?” Lu Zheng clenched his fist.
Gu shouxin replied,’as soon as tonight. Second white and the others have already helped out.”
“Second uncle, I want to ask the Emperor for an edict to send troops to the langge Kingdom!” Lu Zheng looked at Gu shouxin.
“Why the Lang GE Kingdom?” Gu shouxin was stunned and asked.
“They are the most ambitious,” Lu Yang replied,”and they are the most difficult opponent of the great Zhou Dynasty. This matter definitely had something to do with the Lang GE Kingdom! In the Peng family, Peng Liulang must have been bribed to work for them. I don’t know how many others there are!”
After a pause, Lu Zheng looked at Gu shouxin with a pair of red eyes.”Second uncle, I’ve already lost Xinxin once. I don’t want to lose her again! Second uncle, please help me convince the Emperor to let me lead the Army!”
With that, Lu Zheng knelt down.
Looking at him like this, Gu shouxin didn’t feel good either. He helped Lu Zheng up.”We’ll talk about this after we pa.s.s through the secret pa.s.sage. With the current military strength, rashly attacking the Lang GE Kingdom would only be courting death. Besides, Xinxin might not be there. Calm down, it’s not easy for me to have a daughter. I’m not in a better mood than you.”
Lu Zheng punched the ground. it’s all my fault! It’s all my fault! I’m useless! I didn’t protect Xinxin well!
