He felt like he had been stuck at home for a long time.

The children chattered as they came up to listen to the story of Sky Flame City. Yin Qiufu was also startled by the presence of so many children, and wished that the widow had already prepared three large carriages for them, before stuffing Xiaoqing into her arms. Seeing that she was frantically hugging this child who had suddenly grown up quite a bit, she smiled and said, "I heard that you guys are going to Yinzhou.

"Why?" Gu Liuyan hugged Qing Shui and helped him wipe the saliva at the corner of his mouth. The child in her arms giggled as he rubbed her neck.

"His disciple opened a small teahouse in Yinzhou. Once he's married, he won't come back. This time, he's going to take a look at that disciple and collect money for the Yun clan's property." "He's still so young, you have to take good care of him."

"Naturally." Gu was enlightened. After a short rest of two days, he took the children to Yinzhou.

Duan Chengyu had long heard about their arrival from Qi Lin, so he sent someone to accompany them and also sent someone to greet them at the door.

Yinzhou was not as prosperous as Tianyan nor as colorful as Yan City. It could be considered a standard business path, and the only thing that attracted the attention of everyone here was the small gadgets that they had never seen before. A group of kids asked Yin Qiufu and Qi Lin to take care of them.

Gu Daiyan had changed her appearance. She carried Qing Shui and got off the carriage, staring at the Prince of Zong Ping's mansion, lost in thought.

Duan Chengyu, who had been waiting in front of the door for a few months, had already changed out of his usual foppish noble attire. He was dressed in a dark blue robe, and there were a few servants standing behind him.

"Long time no see." Gu Danyan quickly went up to him and greeted him with Qing Ze in his arms.

Duan Chengyu did not obstruct him as it was a good thing to establish his authority here. He only removed his disguise after welcoming the person into the mansion, "You're finally here, quickly give me some ideas. Right now, Yinzhou is in chaos."

"You asked me for an idea the moment you sat down. You're really impolite." Gu Danyan placed Qing Shui on the soft couch at the side and didn't treat this place as a part of the Gu family.

"Naturally, after the royal uncle and Su Yu Wan's money passed by me, there were also many people who came to investigate. Even the magistrate court here advised me to put down the military power in order to prevent a fire from burning my body." Saying this, Duan Chengyu shook his head, "But right now, not to mention military power, right now there are many outsiders in Yinzhou. I've sent people to investigate, but I still feel that there's something strange about them. I've searched for a long time but still can't find any clues."

"Where's Qi Rou? If she's here, I should help you think of a way. " Gu Liuyan was curious.

However, when Qi Rou was mentioned, Duan Chengyu stopped moving and scratched his head as if he had thought of something, "She has her heart on business and is very busy every day."

Gu Liuyan felt it was even weirder, but he didn't think much about it. He only said softly: "You can't release the military power, the flow of goods from other clans can't stop them from entering the city, but you have to get something from other clans."

"I'm not a corrupt official." Duan Chengyu was stunned.

"I already said it's because of the outsiders. You'd better let Qi Rou do business with the outsiders, the key point is not what they do in private, the key is what kind of business they want to do. Also, you can get the Sixth Prince to help you with matters regarding the military power." He held onto a small wooden sword and did not let go. He smiled lightly and said, "Although the Sixth Prince cannot become a general in broad daylight, it is not bad if he can help you cultivate your warriors. You are related by blood, and we coincidentally met here."

However, Duan Chengyu suddenly burst out laughing: "You really haven't seen his smelly face. When I gave him the lotus seed soup, he even wished he could beat me up, much less help me."

"Then she's angry because it's me, not you." He turned his head to look at Gu Liuyan: "Even though you are a prince now, as long as the Emperor does not act as a pawnbroker, they will not be able to rest easy for you. It is best if even the Third Prince of the Jing King does not believe you."

"Trouble is dead." "No matter what, I am still a martial general. Every day, I sit in Yinzhou and my bones are going soft."

Being amused by his words, Gu Pingyan quickly pulled up his long sleeves and poured some tea for him: "Calm down, once the matter of saving up is resolved, you won't have any more worries."

Nodding his head, Duan Chengyu could be considered to have recovered from the depression in his heart.

The two of them casually chatted about recent events, and only then did they learn that Qi Rou was currently a master of business. Many people wanted to come over and propose to them, but they were all rejected by Qi Lin and Yin Qiufu. Yin Qiufu also opened an eight-sided inn here, and from time to time, he would listen to some news.

Duan Chengyu originally wanted to ask about the fake death of Gu Panyan, but Gu Ming had brought it along with him, and he even said, "Don't mention Duan Chengxuan's matter, he and I don't have the slightest bit of friendship now."

Duan Chengyu could only keep his mouth shut. After a while, he said, "In a few days, Madam Yun will be coming to visit you."

"How many more days do you need?" Gu Liuyan sighed.

"Madam said that she would be taking a look at Gu Cheng before leaving in the next few days." Duan Chengyu was also extremely curious about this Madam Yun. Moreover, he did not dare believe that Madam Yun actually trusted the Imperial Family's him. He was usually very careful with his correspondence, afraid that he would anger this Madam Yun.

Gu Daiyan's hands froze. Thinking about this, he nodded and said, "Not bad, we'll need to trouble you for a while. This is the first time the children are going to travel. They are all very excited."

"It just so happens to be lively." Duan Chengyu smiled.

No matter when, a large group of children would become lively, causing the entire manor to be thrown into chaos. However, the sounds of laughter from many children could be heard, and even those who had stopped to look at this usually cold Prince Zong would have a change in their opinion.

A few days passed, and it was only when the autumn rain began to fall that Yun Wan finally arrived at Yinzhou. She had a faint worried expression on her face, but when she saw Xiaoqing, she couldn't stop laughing, which made Gu Pingyan feel more at ease.

Initially, he had thought that this autumn day would pass peacefully, but instead, a figure appeared amidst the rain. That official came before Duan Chengyu and stated his purpose for coming here, "Gu Cheng and Gu Sheng have betrayed us, I would like to ask His Highness King Zong Ping to send more people to search around the vicinity."

Behind the screen, Gu Liuyan was quite shocked. Duan Chengyu took the secret decree and found it strange: "Gu Sheng and Gu Cheng were playing tricks on my Imperial Father, but they're actually not dead yet."

"They are truly amazing." Gu Liuyan felt a headache coming on: "I have to tell mother about this matter."

He wondered if Gu Cheng's departure this time had anything to do with the third prince.

Gu Danyan felt a little uneasy.
