"Thank me for what?" Taking advantage of the fact that Duan Chengxuan had yet to change his mind, Gu Daiyan quickly drank the strong alcohol in one gulp. The strong alcohol stimulated her entire body to the point it went numb, but it added some warmth to the chilly night wind.
Gu Danyan even sat on the stone bench and rubbed his hands.
"Tong Zhou is also a brother that I live and die with." Duan Chengxuan looked at the tightly shut door, then he thought of something that caused his expression to become grim. "Forget it, let's not talk about the past. You'll guard him in the courtyard during the day."
"Got it." Gu Danyan raised the corner of his mouth, stood up and stretched: "How is the question coming from that fat general?"
"Wang Hui has already been silenced." Xiao Hai had already rolled in from the outside and landed firmly on the ground. He held something wrapped in a handkerchief in his hand and passed it to Gu Daiyan: "It's the people from Mirage."
Gu Liuyan opened the handkerchief and the pungent smell of blood permeated the air. She then wrapped the knife again: "This poison is too strong, but I like it."
As she spoke, she carried the knife into the room.
Xiao Hai walked over to Duan Chengxuan's side with a serious expression. Duan Chengxuan was only frowning. What was the relationship between the water stronghold general and the Mirage?
When dawn arrived, the inside of the house was still completely silent. Duan Chengxuan and Xiao Hai only had the cold wind blow for an entire night, but when it was time for breakfast, no soldiers came to send them off. Instead, it was General Cheng's assistant general who rushed in frantically: "Your highness! The Mirage people seemed to have poisoned the water stronghold, and quite a few people were poisoned! General Cheng rolled over in pain, and General Wang died in the room! "
"There's actually such a thing." Duan Chengxuan's expression was cold and grave, as if this was the first time he had heard of this matter. He exchanged a glance with Xiao Hai, then hurriedly left. The Mirage Faction's people really do not place us in their eyes! "
"None of you were poisoned?" The soldier turned to look at the group of people in front of him.
The fully bearded man surveyed his surroundings. The people that had followed Duan Cheng Xuan over were all unharmed.
With a cold expression on his face, he strode towards the house in General Cheng's courtyard. He opened the door, and before the few soldiers behind him could react, Duan Chengxuan only looked at him coldly. "Last night, General Cheng and the other vice generals wanted to leave by boat overnight, right?"
General Cheng was in so much pain that his face paled. At this moment, his bloodshot eyes were fiercely glaring at him.
"Where do you think Cheng Shan, who is by This King's side, went?"
Cheng Shan had already slowly walked over from the door and knelt on one knee. "Reporting to Your Highness, the other Vice Generals are unable to leave due to the poison of the wangfei. The officers behind the mountain have already charged into the water stronghold."
"Your Highness! "This water stronghold is our Navy Tide army. How could we allow our own people to attack our own people, and even have Esteemed wangfei poison them …" The bearded man exclaimed.
"This water stronghold should have been cleaned up a long time ago." Xiao Hai slowly walked over from behind and supported the dying Tong Zhou. The bearded man's eyes reddened as he rushed up and yelled at Tong Ge.
Gu Danyan also changed into a clean green robe and rushed forward to push away the bearded man: "General Tong is weak, but you can't be so fierce."
The Tong Zhou ship was currently pale and Gu Meiyan was barely able to hold on. He could only put him on a chair to the side as he looked at General Cheng pitifully: "Harming yourself and others will eventually bring harm to yourself."
"Yun Family descendant …" What a great descendant of the Yun Family! " General Cheng shouted with his blood-red eyes: "The Mirage will not let you off, this Sunset Water Stronghold! "It's fine if you don't want it!"
Gu Danyan was shocked in his heart. He wanted to charge forward, but he was too late. General Cheng's entire body was twitching. She extended her hand forward, but Duan Chengxuan had already pulled her back. "No need to save me."
"But …" We still don't know the purpose of this water stronghold and the disciples of the high officials coming here. " Gu Danyan stared at General Cheng who was lying on the ground in dissatisfaction.
Furthermore, why did their Mirage hate the Yun clan to the bones?
Until his death, General Cheng didn't say anything about the water stronghold, but only stared at her.
Duan Chengxuan was similarly unable to wrap his head around it. The mirage had hibernated for a hundred years and it hadn't revealed itself yet, whereas Gu Daiyan was able to survive until the prime of her life, but after she married him, it was exposed everywhere.
What was so strange about this Gu Liuyan?
"This King did not make you poison him to teach those soldiers a lesson." Duan Chengxuan pulled her up, then glanced at the sitting Tong Zhou and said with a reddened gaze, "It's to let the Mirage people know that death is near, and they all committed suicide before they were discovered."
"You are betting the lives of all the warriors in the Sunset Water Stronghold!" Gu Liuyan looked at him in disbelief, not caring that the Tong Zhou was still by his side, she tugged at Duan Chengxuan's sleeve, "What if the people from that mirage felt that there was a chance of survival and didn't commit suicide?! Poison is poison, I do not want more people to lose their lives in order to completely eliminate the people from the Mirage. "
Duan Chengxuan grabbed both of her wrists and looked at him. "But this is the fastest way to clean up the water stronghold. You have to endure to the limit before you can cure them of the poison."
"You're crazy." She turned around, wanting to ask him about the situation on the Tong Zhou, but he looked at her with the same indifferent gaze as Duan Chengxuan. "Your Highness did not do anything wrong. The Water Stronghold is close to the Sky Flame. If the people here haven't been cleaned up, it will be a threat."
"I became your accomplice, Prince Jing." Gu Liuyan took a step back in disappointment, then she shook off Duan Chengxuan's shackles around her and fell onto a sturdy chair. The corpse of General Cheng, who died with grievances beside his feet, caused her heart to be as dead as death: "Do you still need to use torture each and every one of them later? Forcing those people to commit suicide before they were executed? After all, you know that the assassins of the Mirage are not afraid of death. "
Duan Chengxuan nodded. "As for you, you can go and save those people in the secret passageway."
"I am truly blind in order to believe you. You did not completely kill the Tong Zhou, but because he is your brother, as long as you keep the lives of those soldiers, you will not mind if you become a small part of them." Gu Daiyan poured the beans and said all of this. Her gaze was fierce as she looked at Duan Chengxuan, "You will become that pitiful little half in the future."
"The royal family is a small part of this world." Duan Chengxuan turned around, but he didn't leave. "And I'll follow you until you cure them of the poison. I know you like saving lives."
Gu Liuyan clenched his teeth tightly and could only leave in anger.
