1451 His experience
....
Two bonfires were lit in the cave. Cheng huaijin’s attendant went to the cave entrance to scatter some medicinal powder, then came back to report, ” “Prince, the beast repelling powder has been scattered. You and little brother Gu can rest inside. We will rest at the entrance of the cave.”
Since Gu Xin wanted to travel with them, she naturally introduced herself. She said that she was from the Lang GE nation and was the third child in her family. She had gotten lost with her family, so she wanted to travel with them.
Cheng huaijin’s attendant didn’t suspect anything, because most of the people in the Lang GE Kingdom looked like people from the great Zhou.
Cheng huaijin nodded, telling them not to fall into a deep sleep and to be on alert for any movements outside.
The attendant retreated.
When the fire grew bigger, Gu Xin removed Cheng huaijin’s large windbreaker and rubbed her hands together, warming them up by the fire.
Cheng huaijin looked at her and smiled. it’s like this in the desert. It’s hot during the day and cold at night. You’ll feel it tomorrow morning.”
Gu Xin glanced at the entrance of the cave and saw that the four servants had closed their eyes. She retracted her gaze and asked softly, ” “Brother Jun, how did you get to quicksand country? No wonder we couldn’t find you, you’ve gone to such a far place.”
Cheng huaijin slowly recounted what had happened after he and Xiao Yu had separated.
At that time, Cheng huaijin and Cheng Huaiyu had been attacked by wild beasts. In order to protect his sister, Cheng huaijin had lured the wild beasts away, but he had been injured and had been unconscious.
When he woke up again, he was already on the s.h.i.+p. The person who saved him wanted him to do something for him, so he would never let Cheng huaijin go.
The person who had saved him was an official of quicksand Kingdom. He had been searching for the son of quicksand King. Cheng huaijin was of the same age as him. The son of quicksand King had disappeared when he was three years old. They only knew that he had a birthmark on his back. Cheng huaijin had one.
As a result, for the past five years, Cheng huaijin had been the Prince of quicksand. He didn’t want to be controlled by others, so he made it clear that he would listen to his official’s words and secretly plot against him. This year, he had successfully escaped from his official’s control and gotten rid of that person. At the same time, he also told the quicksand King the truth.
The quicksand King had known the truth long ago, but he didn’t blame Cheng huaijin. After a few years of observation and getting along, he really treated Cheng huaijin as his son. He knew that his son had died, and he had buried him with his own hands, so he knew from the beginning that Cheng huaijin wasn’t.
Cheng huaijin didn’t expect things to turn out this way. After talking to the quicksand King, he decided to continue being the quicksand King and then find a way back to the great Zhou Dynasty. At least, he had to confirm whether Xiao Yu was still alive. Moreover, he wanted to go back to the great Zhou Dynasty and find out if the person in his heart was doing well.
After dealing with that official and revealing his heart to the quicksand King, he planned to return to the great Zhou Dynasty by boat from the sea. If he went by land, he would pa.s.s through the desert.
In the end, they learned that at the beginning of this year, the Lang GE Kingdom and the most powerful tribe in the West, the cloud Sea tribe, had joined forces and guarded the sea area, not letting anyone leave for fear of ruining their plan.
Cheng huaijin cherished his life. He was fully aware of the strength of the Yunhai tribe in the quicksand country over the past few years. Thus, he planned to cross the desert and the snow Mountain to return to the great Zhou.
However, to return to the great Zhou, they had to go through the lange Kingdom.
Now that the langge nation and the Yunhai tribe had formed an alliance, he didn’t dare to head east even after he arrived in the langge nation. That was why he met Gu Xin.
After Gu Xin heard this, she was filled with emotions.
Both brother and sister had been saved by someone. However, the person who saved Xiao Yu had sincerely raised her as a daughter, while the person who saved brother Xiao Yan had treated him as a chess piece.
