Gu Danyan brought ghost to the barracks' library, looking for books on local history and the like.

Qi Yanbai stood at the doorway, wiping the sweat off his forehead with a cold face.

He originally wanted to avoid important matters lightly, so he only mentioned the matter of Duan Chengxuan protecting his family and country.

However, he didn't expect Gu Danyan to be able to see the essence of this matter. He was glad that the prince had only allowed him to say a few words before he left and didn't really let him fool Princess Jing.

It was rare to be in the military camp, so Gu Daiyan naturally had to observe carefully. The greatest power beyond this path was only Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan was a small country with hundreds of people. It was said that Jiang Yan was the first emperor of this country.

After that, it was a time of prosperity. Now, he was even more courageous in battle, and decades ago, he had suffered greatly because of the lack of people, while the emperor had decisively used slavery, borrowing the wealth of Jiang Yan's campaign to buy tens of thousands of slaves.

After a period of being attacked, a few officials and officials managed to bring Jiang Yan to the fore. Today, extravagance and extravagance was prevalent, with 200,000 troops and 30,000 slaves prepared for the army.

"It is indeed a miracle that Jiang Yan can become so strong." Gu Daiyan was flipping through the books in the library, holding a small bag of candied fruits in one hand.

Jiang Yan's battles were truly laughable, but ever since she'd gotten her hands on slavery, she hadn't seemed to have improved at all. In addition, she'd caused a few of the country's fallen citizens in the surroundings to become slaves.

"However, Jiang Yan is indeed quite powerful. Why hasn't the king told the emperor of the crimes they've committed? Even if he did, as long as the emperor doesn't send out troops, he probably wouldn't cause any trouble."

"What you say is indeed reasonable, but what the Prince wants is these things that only he knows." Gu Danyan put the candied fruits away, then threw the book back onto the shelf and continued, "The more things you know in this world, the more valuable you will be."

"Like you?" A ghost raised an eyebrow.

Gu Danyan thought for a moment and nodded.

Ghost also closed the area, "Therefore, even if your lordship secretly gathers troops and is discovered, the fourth prince will also be in the background. It can also be said that he's preparing for Jiang Yan when the time comes."

"It's possible." Gu Danyan couldn't be sure. He rubbed his head and sat cross-legged beside the ghost: "However, this matter should be left to the Third Prince. We have more important things to do."

"What?" The ghost glanced at her and then took the bag of candied fruits back. "Fairy said you can't eat too much."

Gu Mingyan rolled her eyes at him and continued, "This time I accidentally got the title of Mirage. Once I return to Sky Flame, it's time for me to find someone to poison it."

"To whom?"

"The first one will definitely be the Assistant Minister of Revenue." Gu Danyan chuckled.

Previously, she had thought of provoking the Minister of Revenue's family, but if the Minister of Revenue's family was poisoned for some inexplicable reason and Duan Chengxuan brought her there to 'coincidentally' cure that weird poison, then the Assistant Minister of Revenue wouldn't be grateful to the Prince.

On the contrary, he wondered why the prince would always come at the perfect timing every time.

It was all because of the incident in Changping Village that had disturbed her plans. Now that the Third Prince knew about the matter here, and she also knew that Duan Chengxuan was going to drag the Fourth Prince into this matter, then everything could only be done after returning to the Sky Flame.

Just as she was about to leave, Phantom Demon grabbed her. "Oh right, you still haven't said where you're going to throw Qing Dai."

"Whatever she wants, just don't stay by my side." Only now did Gu Liuyan remember.

"I see that Fairy is very loyal to you. If you like her, I will protect her." Phantom looked at her seriously.

Gu Liuyan waved his hand: "That won't do, I can only keep one person by my side to accompany me on my adventure."

"Why?"

"What I've done is against the rules. If I were to be discovered one day, I can only hope that there is only one person who can accompany me to the underworld. If there are too many, I will only have my life; I won't be able to return in the future." Gu Danyan smiled helplessly and grabbed the ghost, "If one day I die quickly, you have to run away without saying a word. That way, I won't have to return your life to you in my next life."

Phantom Shadow was stunned by her words. He didn't even know how he was dragged onto the carriage by Gu Liuyan.

While he was sitting in the carriage, Qi Yanbai didn't dare to speak because of Gu Liuyan's words, but Gu Liuyan's gaze was on him, and he said softly, "Lord Qi, I hope you can train a few more generals. If your highness were to become a great treasure in the future, I'll have to trouble you to take care of me."

Qi Yanbai's heart skipped a beat upon hearing these words.

"Esteemed wangfei …"

"It was really inconvenient to be in the military camp just now." Gu Liuyan laughed: "Besides, Spook just said that there were a few soldiers by the side. Let me think about it, I'm Crown Princess Jing, so I should just say some good words. Senior Qi, please don't take it to heart."

Qi Yanbai immediately nodded in understanding. "This official understands!"

He didn't see the disdain on Gu Danyan's face, and ghost knew what Gu Danyan meant.

This was the first time he had spoken so viciously. It was to test him out, and with just a slight test, he could tell that Qi Yanbai had indeed avoided the crucial point just now.

By saying this, it meant that he had misunderstood. In reality, Gu Danyan was standing by the side with Duan Chengxuan, giving Qi Yanbai a peace of mind.

When he returned to Yue Shan City, the sun was already high in the sky.

Gu Mingyan originally wanted to go to the hot spring, but unfortunately, she heard the argument between Duan Chengyu and Litchi Bay.

"Why am I causing trouble for no reason!?" Could it be that it's this hard for you to leave behind a little time to accompany me?! " Litchi Bay's eyes turned red. Duan Chengyu, on the other hand, looked like he didn't care about Litchi Bay at all.

The citizens of Yue Shan city subconsciously avoided coming closer, and only a few soldiers stood to the side to make trouble. Gu Pingyan thought for a moment, it was better for him not to care, or Litchi Bay would not know what else to say.

"Let's go through the back door." Gu Danyan said in a low voice as he dragged Gui Spirit along the other side of the street.

She almost forgot that the empress dowager brought those two along when she came this time.

It was also her fault for being so busy over the past few days. Seeing that Duan Chengyu had not arrived, she did not pay much attention to him.

In the end, it was Phantom who brought her over the wall.

Landing on the ground, Gu Danyan exhaled a few times and waved at the ghost: "We still need to stay here for a few more days, please teach me a few more moves."

"Sure, but don't cry if you lose." Phantom nodded seriously.

"I won't." Gu Daiyan smiled and threw the knife into his hand.

Gu Danyan was only happy when she practiced kung fu with ghosts and other ghosts.
