The moon was bright and sparse, and Gu Daiyan could clearly see the soft armor on his opponent's body under the silvery white moonlight.

This person seemed to be a high-ranking officer.

She patted the back of the Silver Ear horse before she turned around. The slightly fat high-ranking officer had already shakily walked to her side. The strong smell of the wine made her sneeze.

"I didn't expect to find a lady here. Why don't you follow me back to the ship and have a good time …" The fatty rubbed his hands and walked over. Gu Daiyan subconsciously took a step back and knocked away the hand he reached out.

"Don't touch me." She covered her mouth and nose with one hand and ran to Silver Ear's side. She secretly took out the medicine that she had prepared earlier and held it in her hand.

"I didn't expect you to have such a temper. This is the army camp, and a little girl like you sneaked here to …" The fat guy was still getting closer, but before he finished his sentence, a figure had already landed steadily in front of him.

There were two sabers by his waist, two sabers at his wrists. In his hand was a sabre with complex patterns, but the only thing that could be seen was a pair of cold phoenix eyes. Not long after, the sabre's edge had firmly pressed against the other party's neck, leaving behind a trail of blood.

Fatty was completely shocked awake and did not dare to move recklessly.

"Are you the prince's man?" Gu Liuyan asked softly as she walked out from behind Yin He.

The man nodded, but he increased his strength without saying a word. Fatty was so scared that his legs went limp.

Gu Danyan went over and grabbed the man's arm. She could clearly feel his strong muscles under the thin fabric. However, she continued: "He's just a high-ranking officer. Let him go. He'll personally apologize to me tomorrow."

"Please spare my life!" Please spare my life! " Fatty immediately shouted and swallowed his saliva.

"It's not good to call me young lady. I prefer it when others call me Crown Princess Jing. It's too late today, so you should go back." Gu Danyan directly pulled the man's hand off and watched him leave. However, she didn't let go of the man and only stared at him.

The man did not leave. At the same time, he also looked at Gu Daiyan, seemingly puzzled.

"How many people did Duan Chengxuan send to follow me?" Gu Danyan grabbed his wrist and approached him. Success or failure didn't mean that they were phoenix eyes.

"Only twelve percent. I was just passing by." The man's free hand easily sheathed the longblade in his hand.

Gu Danyan raised his eyebrows and then let go of his hand: "I believe you."

With that, she went to get some grass for Yin He to eat. The man in black stood watching her for a moment, then disappeared into the darkness.

Gu Tinyan went out for a spin with Yin He before returning to the yard.

Duan Chengxuan was currently flipping through the documents when she walked over to the side of the table and once again fiddled with the medicinal materials in his hand, not disturbing each other.

However, when Duan Chengxuan started to feel sleepy, he discovered that Gu Liuyan was still happily staying with the herbs. The paper beside him was filled with words that he had never heard of before.

It was already the third fragment of the night. Duan Chengxuan sat on the bed, dressed in his clothes, and prepared to sleep. However, Gu Mingyan stayed at the table and stayed up all night.

The next day, when Duan Chengxuan woke up, Gu Pingyan was just sitting at the table. He didn't seem tired at all, but she seemed to have used most of the jade bottles. He had no choice but to send someone out to get breakfast.

Smelling the smell of food, Gu Danyan washed her hands and drifted to the table. After finishing up with the big meal, she looked at him as if nothing had happened: "Are we going to the village soon?"

When Duan Cheng Xuan saw that her eyes were already slightly bloodshot, he didn't say anything and only nodded as she finished the breakfast.

However, General Cheng had just left the courtyard when he angrily brought along the fatty he met last night and directly knelt before Gu Tinyan. Duan Chengxuan wasn't surprised by this, as it was likely the black-clothed person who had notified him yesterday.

When the fatty saw Gu Daiyan standing by Duan Chengxuan's side today, he hurriedly apologized, "It's all because I couldn't see Mount Tai and offended Crown Princess Jing …"

"You were drunk last night, did you break the military rules?" Gu Danyan indifferently spoke. His other hand grabbed Duan Chengxuan's sleeve as he continued, "That's him. He called me the beautiful little wife last night and asked me to accompany him to play on the boat!"

General Cheng and the surrounding people all sucked in a breath of cold air, and Duan Chengxuan glanced at Gu Daiyan only to see her smiling happily.

"Disciplinary." Duan Chengxuan's face darkened, and he held Gu Daiyan's hand as he walked towards the stables. "In the future, when the sun falls, the matter of feeding the horses will be handed over to the servants. Do you know?"

"Got it." Gu Danyan nodded with a light smile, but continued to speak when Duan Chengxuan approached him, "That fatty is quite a good entrance. When we come back at night, I can go and interrogate him with poison."

"Alright." Duan Chengxuan nodded in agreement. He felt a headache when he saw that Gu Pingyan's usual dignified appearance was completely gone once she made a new move.

General Cheng, who was behind him, quickly kicked the fatty and said resentfully, "I told you not to go out. How did you offend Crown Princess Jing?"

"But …" "It's not that I've heard that Crown Princess Jing isn't favoured, but that Prince Jing still wants to take in concubines as well. How is today …" The fat man stammered, only to see that Prince Jing and his wife were still talking and laughing. In the end, he couldn't even say a single word to refute their words.

It was said that the Jing King was a cold-faced prince, and only he would smile at his junior brothers and sisters. And now, he even had an imperial concubine.

Although he had already pulled Silver Ear out of the stables, he still landed on Duan Chengxuan's back. This black horse was very restless, once it started galloping, it would gallop all the way there.

She had originally wanted to take a break on the horse, but now, she could only force herself to continue yawning.

Duan Chengxuan didn't like people riding on the same horse either. However, if he didn't look at this person properly, he would probably disappear into the distance while riding on the Silver Ear. Thinking of this, he felt an even greater headache.

Xiao Hai followed by the side and saw General Cheng from afar. Only then did he say in a low voice: "Does the wangfei still have any ideas about that village?"

Gu Danyan covered his mouth and blocked the yawn that was about to come out of his mouth. Looking at the forest in the distance, he smiled and said: "Nothing great, but I still don't understand one thing. It's just that in a year, how could the forest grow so lush in such a short period of time?"

Xiao Hai didn't mind and looked over from a distance.

Only then did Duan Chengxuan react and he looked at the deep forest from afar. If the trees in that place weren't burnt, then someone must have controlled the fire and protected the forest.

"Moreover, the deep forest is gloomy and many poisonous creatures grow." Gu Liuyan's eyes instantly lit up.
