1474 Following him
....
Old general Peng had said the same thing before, but Gu shouxin had ignored him.
This time, after hearing about Gu Xin, Gu shouxin was slightly more at ease, ” “Lordmaster, I only have one request. I’ve found Peng mu. I want this person.”
Old general Peng was silent for a moment before he nodded. I’ve found her. I’ll hand her over to you. You can deal with her!
Gu shouxin smiled and sent them out.
Sixth Peng had gone missing. After Gu Xin’s incident, the Emperor immediately sent people to capture sixth Peng. However, the person in the capital’s Peng Manor was not sixth Peng at all. He had already run away and no one knew where he was hiding.
Yin Yingli was now locked up by Gu shouxin. Gu shouxin ordered people to keep an eye on Yin Yingli, torture her, and make her suffer so much pain that she wished she was dead. As long as Gu Xin didn’t return to kun city, Yin Yingli wouldn’t be able to die a happy death.
As for Peng the sixth’s personal guards, they were all punished to do hard labor, with their hands and feet cuffed.
The Emperor had returned to the capital at the end of last month. It was time to reel in the net he had set and go home to catch big fish.
The Empress Dowager and Empress Xue, on the other hand, were staying in chunnan city. Until now, neither of them had heard about Gu Xin’s accident.
Gu Nian and Gu si would visit the Empress Dowager in chunnan city every few days. The Empress Dowager had asked about Gu Xin, but the two of them only said that she had gone to the battlefield with Lu Zheng.
The Grand Empress Dowager did not ask any further. When the Emperor had left, the sand divine Kingdom and the Yun nation were at war with the great Zhou, and the Grand Empress Dowager knew about it.
She was also telling the Emperor that when things in kunzhou stabilized, the Gu sisters ‘contributions would all be counted in, and those who should be crowned as princesses would be crowned.
In any case, she didn’t want to see her own great-granddaughter get married as a Princess. It had to be a Princess, including Jing and the princess.
The Emperor naturally agreed.
Empress Xue was pregnant, and the Emperor planned to let her stay with Grand Empress Dowager until the child was born next year. It just so happened that the Xue family was also in kun city, and Duke Cheng ‘en had always been in chunnan city. With his brother and sister-in-law around, the Emperor was at ease.
He was thinking that when his youngest son was born, he would immediately be crowned as the Crown Prince. This time, when he returned, he would take all the big fish and leave the small ones to Lu Zheng, Xue Qianyu, and the others. After all, these kids would be a.s.sisting his son in the future. He could not let them take over glory world directly. Without doing anything, how could they take on great responsibilities without being honed?
……
In quicksand country, Cheng huaijin brought Gu Xin around for three days and bought a lot of things.
Based on the current situation, Gu Xin felt that the king of quicksand Kingdom was kind to her. She was also happy to go out with Cheng huaijin. She could learn about the local customs and get to know the way. It would be more convenient for her in the future.
“Brother Xiaoyan, there’s a man in a black hat on our left, diagonally behind us. Do you think he looks like one of the sand bandits from before?” Gu Xin walked to a musical instrument stand and casually said to Cheng huaijin while picking out some instruments.
Cheng huaijin pretended to look into the distance unintentionally. He glanced over and said, ” “I’m not sure. I don’t remember all the people from that day. And she’s even changed her dressing.”
Gu Xin replied after a while,”I’m sure it’s one of them.” There was a hairpin on his face, and there was a strand of hair on it. His little finger was broken. It was not easy to overlap these two characteristics. He’s going to the medicine shop. Should we follow him and see if we can find the Shakko’s nest?”
Cheng huaijin hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “You can try, but you can’t follow too closely.”
