Three days later, the third prince led his troops and set off for battle. The people on both sides of the street were impassioned, their momentum not inferior to that of Prince Jing.

The Emperor Duan Cong had personally appointed two generals to serve as his envoys, and Duan Chengrui had also inserted the generals that he had recruited earlier into the army to find a position as Military Advisor for Yun Chen, allowing her to sit inside the horse carriage.

It must have been a long journey, especially since it was winter and the weather was freezing cold.

Halfway through, Gu Daiyan insisted on staying in the same tent as the other ghosts. Duan Chengrui had no choice but to send someone to prepare a thick blanket for the night. There was no need to set the bed down, as sleeping in it was already considered preferential treatment.

The two of them sat on the ground, while the ghost sat behind her. He gently massaged her temples and gave her a headache: "This is all to catch up with Duke Jing's team. Otherwise, we would be able to rest for a few days."

"I originally wanted to continue taking a look at the situation on the road, but it just so happens that Duan Chengxuan is now in a hurry to make quick progress and is urging me to hurry up." Gu Danyan started to feel uncomfortable when he thought of Duan Chengxuan.

Now that they were separated, Duan Cheng Xuan couldn't let him off easy either.

It was truly a injustice.

"Does your stomach still hurt?" Phantom Demon withdrew his hand and stuffed a cotton bag into her arms. This bag was made from the same cotton that Gu Jinlong had insisted on stuffing into it. He didn't like it at all.

Gu Daiyan hugged the cotton bag and felt the pain in his lower abdomen lessen slightly.

Yue Qing's voice suddenly rang out from outside the tent. "Young Master Yun, let me deliver some soup for you."

"Come in." Gu Zuoyan intentionally pinched his throat to prevent his identity from being revealed to the guards.

Yue Qing was dressed in the attire of a guard. Although there were very few people like Prince Jing who could bring their female family members onto the battlefield, Yue Qingwu's kung fu was impressive. The identity that Duan Chengrui had created for her at that time was also from a martial family, so it was not impossible for her to stay by Duan Chanrui's side to protect him.

However, the way the soldiers looked at her was different. Even Yue Qing didn't want to walk around under the gazes of those young men these days.

He must have come for something important.

Yue Qing placed the soup on the small table at the side and half knelt on the soft cushion. Looking at Gu Liuyan's pale face, she whispered, "His Highness had me take care of you in place of ghosts and ghosts. After all, men and women have given orders …"

"I think he's close to me, so I can't do anything dirty." Gu Liuyan raised her head slightly, as if she was doing it purposefully for Yue Qing to see, and took the opportunity to get closer to the ghost in his arms.

Phantom Shadow, on the other hand, understood what was going on and embraced the noisy person and nodded his head.

Looking at the intimacy between the two of them, Yue Qing stiffened. "I came here today just to ask if you are really avenging justice and righteousness?" Don't tell me that you don't have any other intentions towards His Royal Highness? "

"What do you mean?" Gu Liuyan pressed the cotton bag into her aching stomach again. The ghost seemed to think that she was doing too much and lightly pressed on her shoulder, stopping her from moving blindly.

"If it succeeds, Your Highness will be above everyone. Don't tell me that you don't have any thoughts?" Yue Qing raised her gaze to look at Gu Daiyan. She didn't believe him from the start, but in her heart, she still couldn't believe him.

"Not at all." "She has already promised Qing Di and me that she will take us to see the Great Thousand World. Why would she need to stay on the high wall as a canary?"

Gu Liuyan only chuckled as she nodded at Yue Qing. "If you've only come for this matter, I believe you have an answer."

Yue Qing paused, and after a long silence, she whispered, "The reason why I am here this time, is actually to intercept a letter."

Stunned, Yue Qing handed her a handwritten letter.

Gu Mingyan and Gu Zixian's relationship could not be considered good, but after living together for so many years, these words were written for an unknown person, and they first revealed their true feelings, and only on the last page did he write the reason for their arrival: "If it's possible, please open up Gu Liuyan's tombstone for me. I don't believe that she died so easily."

"To whom is this addressed?" Gu Danyan's eyes slightly narrowed. He didn't expect that neither Duan Chengxuan nor Su Yuwan would be able to tell that the first person to sense something was amiss was Gu Zixian.

"It was written for a group of grave robbers. These people had once helped Gu Cheng steal some silver taels." Yue Qing simply burned the letter before replying softly, "Your Highness is worried that you have already revealed your true identity."

"No need to worry. When we return from the victory, even if the emperor knows that I have cheated on him, he would not punish me. After all, I still have quite a bit of information on Duan Chengxuan." Gu Liuyan was well versed in the affairs of the royal family. Now that the emperor was asking for peace, there was no need to fuss about it.

Yue Qing immediately raised her brows. "It's always better to be careful."

"If you are careful in every way, you will be easily controlled by others. You have also been bold before, why bother coming here to waste your breath?" "I said before that I don't like your highness, just that I don't like her, I don't need to keep asking around." Gu Liuyan's expression immediately became cold: "A big battle is coming, I can't care about the love affairs of your children."

After being ordered to leave, Yue Qing could only dejectedly leave.

Right after he left, Gu Danyan broke free from the ghost's embrace. While she hid in the bed, she did not forget to speak to him: "Now that we've left Sky Flame, we can't trust her anymore. You should put on a face with a veil in the future."

"Mmm, I know you're still wary of the Third Prince." Then, he moved his blanket a bit further away and followed in.

After a good night's sleep, the next day, he could only brace himself and continue on his journey.

In the meantime, the group quietly left and sent a message to Wind Tower, he must conceal this matter with Gu Zixian.

Although she felt uncomfortable during the journey, she had read quite a few books. There were two young soldiers guarding outside the carriage, and they were talking about their dreams in the battlefield.

When they arrived at noon, Duan Chengrui sent someone to inform her, "We will be entering the city tonight. We will meet up with the Jing King."

When he woke up, the caravan had already entered the city. The Third Prince and Jing Wang had been arranged to stay in a large courtyard, and although it was easy for them to quarrel, it was also convenient for them to discuss important matters.

Gu Mingyan changed her clothes and went to the study alone.

Upon entering, he noticed that the soldiers on both sides were glaring at each other. At this moment, Duan Chengxuan had his hands on the table as he looked at Sha Tu. "If we don't cut off their rations at this time, we won't have enough in winter."

"In a few days, it will snow at the edge of the mountain. It's not a good idea to easily cut off people's rations." Duan Chengrui also frowned as he was slightly dissatisfied with the Duke Jing's urgent progress.

Gu Danyan found an empty seat and stood there. After looking at the sand map for a long time, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Rather than discussing the matter of food, why don't we talk about it? Who prepared this sand map?"
