Chapter 1239
1239 Outside the West City
Gu shouxin’s plan to infiltrate the city was still perfect. Old general Peng and great general Peng only raised a few questions and agreed after getting the answers.
To build a city, the city wall had to be built first. The people who would be building the city wall would need to be soldiers. Fortunately, after the cement was made, the soldiers were the ones who reinforced the city wall at the West Gate.
All the Masons in kun city had been assigned to uncle Gu and fourth uncle Gu.
Gu shouxin had also discussed with the Peng father and son that they would take advantage of the construction of mixed city to get a batch of soldiers from the Emperor.
The father and son of the Peng family were worried that the Emperor would be suspicious if there were more troops here!
Gu shouxin was also worried, but he took responsibility for this matter and said that he would sacrifice something else at most.
The father and son of the Peng family were extremely touched. They felt that second Gu was good, very good. This person could be deeply acquainted with, unlike those civil officials in the court.
They didn’t know that the Emperor trusted Gu shouxin so much that he even taught him to rebel!
In any case, the Peng father and son would not believe such a weird thing.
After returning from the Peng family, Gu shouxin sent someone to put up a notice at the trading area, indicating that in the next six months, he would build a city for businessmen in the neighboring country. He asked everyone to look forward to it. If you have any questions in the future, you can directly ask at the address of the city. Anyway, everyone would have to pass through that place to come to kun city.
The people from the neighboring countries cheered. They finally didn’t have to eat and sleep in the open. After living here, they could eat the delicacies of great Zhou every day and learn about the new products of the Gu sisters in time. They were so happy!
On the 19th day of the first month, Gu shouxin brought Gu Xin, her sister, Qian Liangduo, and Hu Liang out of the West Gate.
Along with them were general Peng, second and fifth Peng brothers, Lu Zheng and Meng Meng.
The Gu sisters were very curious about the gate of the West City. They had been here for a year and had gone out to play at all the other gates. Only the West City gate could only watch the world outside from the city gate, and they were not even allowed to go up the City Tower.
The Peng family’s Army had strict military rules, and they would never allow you to do it just because you’re the princess and Lord Gu’s daughter.
After exiting the West Gate, the scenery was almost the same as the East, North, and South. However, the further west they went, the more obvious the difference was.
General Peng led the group to the West for about ten miles before they stopped.
Gu Xin looked into the distance. All she could see was desolation. There was no green vegetation, only people from the neighboring countries who were either coming to or going back to kun city.
Lu Zheng stood beside Gu Xin and pointed ahead, ” at the end of that side is the Lang GE Kingdom. The Lang GE Kingdom is also the country that has fought with our great Zhou the most.
Gu Xin had heard before that the king of the lange Kingdom was a general from the previous dynasty who fled there and almost took down kun city.
That battle was also the battle in which old general Peng and Lu Zheng’s grandfather stood out. It was decades ago.
After that, Lu Zheng’s grandfather returned to the capital due to his injuries, and old general Peng’s family had been guarding kun city ever since.
Gu Xin suddenly thought, if there’s someone who has an opinion against us expanding kun city, it’s probably this lang GE Kingdom, right?
General Peng looked at Gu Xin approvingly, ” “The Lang GE Kingdom, this name is filled with the ambition of wolves. It was said that the first Prince lang was not only the great general of the previous dynasty, but also the Prince of the previous dynasty. He even wanted to restore the previous dynasty! If we expand the city, they will definitely attack. If we go west, we won’t affect the sand divine Kingdom and the Yun nation, nor will we affect the goddess Kingdom and the Jinnan Kingdom on the other side of the river. We will only affect the Lang GE Kingdom.”
