Chapter 1733 Resistance

Gu Nian also looked at Gu Shouxin. She was also a little worried about Gu Xin.

She thought that Gu Xin had good luck and would be invincible and return safely in the end. But now it seems that there is still danger. Even if Gu Xin was not injured, it was not Gu Xin who was in trouble.

"Don't worry, it's useless for us to set off now. The war in the west will end in the next one or two months. When we get there, everything that should happen will have happened. Now, all we can do is write a letter to Xinxin and tell them to be careful." Gu Shouxin comforted his wife and daughter.

"So when are we going to set off?" Cai Xiaolian asked.

At first, Gu Shouxin only planned to take Gu Nian, Gu Si and Gu En with him. Later, Cai Xiaolian insisted on going. Seeing that Cai Xiaolian had arranged all the business in Kuncheng properly, which showed her determination, Gu Shouxin also compromised.

"After the fifteenth, we will set off. The envoys sent by the emperor have not come yet. We have to wait until they arrive and set off together." Gu Shouxin said.

"Dad, can't we set off first and wait for them there?" Gu Nian asked.

"No." Gu Shouxin shook his head, "As long as Xinxin and the others haven't attacked the royal city, we can't set off."

If they don't take Cai Xiaolian with them, it doesn't matter if they set off first, but if they take Cai Xiaolian with them, Gu Shouxin doesn't want to take any risks.

As long as the situation in the west is not settled, he won't take his wife to take risks.

Gu Nian looked at Gu Shouxin depressedly.

Cai Xiaolian pursed her lips and said, "Okay, wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month at the latest. By then, no matter whether there is any news from Xinxin, we must go."

Gu Nian nodded.

Gu Shouxin smiled helplessly.

It's almost the New Year. Uncle Gu Chengen and King Kang in Chunnan City have returned to celebrate the New Year, and Uncle Gu has also returned from Baiyu City.

The festivities in Kuncheng are visible to the naked eye.

Only the Peng family has not hung up red lanterns on the twenty-ninth day of the New Year. The servants of the Peng family are very cautious in what they say and do.

People outside wanted to get the news but couldn't.

In the whole Kuncheng, only the Peng and Gu families knew that Peng Wulang had an accident. During the New Year, the Peng family did not tell anyone about Peng Wulang's accident. Even the girl from the Goddess Country who gave Peng Wulang a token of love didn't know about it.

Mrs. Peng San fell ill and General Peng's hair turned completely white.

Although there were eight grandchildren in the Peng family, all of them were brought up by General Peng himself. He seemed to have returned to the state when his second son died in battle.

...

Gu Xin and his team waited for the reinforcements brought by Peng Ze on the first day of the New Year, and attacked Jushi City that afternoon.

Jushi City was still one city away from Yunhai Wangcheng. After taking Jushi City, they would take another city to Yunhai Wangcheng.

Because they had lost several cities in succession, Jushi City was carefully arranged by Yunhai Wang.

That afternoon, the Liusha army failed to attack Jushi City. Until the evening, Peng Ze and Cheng Huaijin wanted to sneak into Jushi City to understand the other side's situation, but they were discovered and didn't even pass the city gate.

Gu Xin looked at the tall city wall and narrowed her eyes.

No wonder it was so easy to capture the first few cities. It turned out that most of the troops were deployed in the nearest city.

The same situation was with Lu Zheng, Xue Qianyu, Helian Yi, and Peng Erlang. In these three directions, they all encountered the same resistance.
