C444

Blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the falling snowflakes red.

The blade in his hand was stained with blood, and the bones under his horse's hooves were dense.

Duan Chengxuan pulled on the reins, and his killing intent that had not dissipated looked coldly at the person kneeling on the ground.

"I didn't expect a woman to be able to lead troops. Even your vice general has more backbone than you." The blade in Duan Cheng Xuan's hand was practically touching the tip of Ai Qi's nose.

The deputy general next to Ai Qi had already been decapitated, only exposing a terrifying face as he faced the sky.

Eiche's limbs trembled as she kneeled on the ground. Even after putting on her armor, she was still unable to differentiate between a male and a female.

"You won't kill me." The snowflakes turned into droplets of water on her forehead. Before Duan Chengxuan's large group arrived, she said in a soft voice, "I've long disliked my father, so I can give you what you want as long as you are willing to leave me with my life."

"You kidnapped Gu Cheng and the rest, that's why you acquired two cities." Duan Chengxuan sneered. "This is still the two you two stole, I'll call them back one by one. You're useless."

"I can help you win the throne."

Then the soldiers who had followed her surrounded her. Before they could stab the blade into the chest of the enemy, they heard the high-ranking officer on their black horse swing his long sword, and the blood on the blade splattered onto her body, causing her to faint on the spot.

"Prince, he …"

"Bring her back and lock her up."

Duan Chengxuan pulled up the reins and turned around to return to the camp. At the same time, the soldier that delivered the emergency report fell down from his horse and knelt before him.

"Your Highness! "Jiang Yan sent her main force to attack Guan Ping City, requesting for reinforcements!"

The crowd was stunned. Duan Chengxuan finally understood why the person he was facing was only an unfavoured woman.

It turned out to be a diversion.

Just as he was about to give the order, the word 'throne' suddenly flashed through his mind.

He could still see the scene of Ai Qi's wild laughter. The tombstone under the gutter was carved with the names of the two men.

Only by obtaining the throne would he be able to obtain both power and love.

"The third prince naturally has a plan, but you still have to prepare everything. After four hours, we will rush to Guan Ping city." Duan Cheng Xuan slightly raised her hand.

"But four hours …" The soldier's face turned pale.

"Do as I say." Every single one of the soldiers held their breath, but they didn't dare to disobey.

Only because Duan Chengxuan was their Martial Immortal.

He always had a way to solve everything, and he always won the war for Navy Tide.

And the Third Prince was only a mediocre prince, so they naturally knew who to trust.

A gale suddenly rose and a large amount of snow-white ice crystals scattered with the wind, wrapping up layer after layer of the blood-stained battlefield. Duan Chengxuan walked into the warm tent and Su Yu Wan threw herself into his embrace, not caring about the blood on his body.

"Big Brother Xuan …"

"I'm back." Duan Chengxuan gently embraced Su Yu Wan as his heart gradually sank back into his stomach.

"I heard you brought Ai Qi back, but you found out something about Jiang Yan." Su Yu Wan hastily went to greet him and carefully wiped away the blood on Duan Cheng Xuan's face.

"No." Duan Cheng Xuan still told her everything about Ai Qi's words.

In exchange for Su Yu Wan's light laugh: "I believe that there is always someone who can make her speak."

"Yes." Duan Chengxuan held onto the back of Su Yu Wan's head and kissed her soft lips. He roughly plundered all of her air, as if he wanted to release all the blood energy on the battlefield.

Su Yuwan only felt a faint pain from Duan Chengxuan's grip on her waist, but even though her eyes were red, she could only endure.

Duan Cheng Xuan was her everything.

The hibiscus pavilion was warm, but outside the city of Guan Ping, countless torches lit up the dark and gloomy sky.

Gu Liuyan stood on top of the city wall, almost blending into the darkness. She raised her hand to catch a snowflake, and only when the snowflake was gone did she speak in a low voice: "We might be able to win this battle."

As he said this, Gu Danyan took a huge box from the hands of the ghost. Inside the box was a lot of white powder, but because of the cold winter, some of it had even congealed into small pieces.

Duan Chengrui was already sweating profusely. The few thousand soldiers were all behind the city gates, and all the soldiers were as sharp as a bow.

However, on this winter night, the silence was terrifying.

"It's Ai Yan standing there, we can't possibly hold on to him." Yue Qing immediately frowned.

Everyone knew that Ai Yan was an old general of Jiang Yan, and Gu Liuyan had just received news that the main reason why Jiang Yan had been able to take down those two cities was still because of Gu Cheng and Gu Sheng.

"Send some men to transfer troops. The others will defend the city to the death. No matter what, Guan Ping City cannot be lost to me." Duan Chengrui clenched his fist.

Hearing this, Gu Pingyan furrowed his brows, but then he relaxed and walked over to Duan Chengrui's side. He pulled him to a secluded area and said in a low voice, "Open the city gates, we might be able to catch a turtle in a jar.

"It's impossible for the empty fort strategy to deal with Ai Yan." Duan Chengrui bluntly interrupted this thought.

"But I have a way to deal with people who come in first." Gu Danyan handed the box over to him and said helplessly: "If there's something wrong with the snow in the city, what do you think they would do?"

"These are …"

"I stayed in the gutter for a long time. These white powder were all dregs that had been drained, then I purposely dyed them. Originally, I wanted to let them use it to trample their horses. However, today, it's snowing heavily …" When Gu Danyan said this, the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

It was just a matter of time.

However, Duan Chengrui understood and immediately said in a low voice, "Do you know why they attacked the city at night, but they're not even slightly moving right now?"

"I don't know." Gu Danyan shook his head.

In the next moment, Duan Chengrui received the wooden box from her hands and gave it to his subordinates. Only after giving his instructions did he lightly place Gu Daiyan's hand into his own hand. "It's Duan Chengxuan who forced it."

"What happened?"

"Duan Chengxuan was able to suppress it, which is why Ai Yan thought that there would be a city called Guan Ping here." Duan Chengrui's gaze became sharper, but Gu Pingyan could clearly see that the sabre at his waist had already left its sheath.

She had even forgotten that Duan Chengrui's martial arts were not weak.

He just let them hold his cold hands in a daze. Gu Danyan tied the detoxification bag around his waist and said in a low voice: "He wants to be meritorious but he gave us a chance. But if the reinforcements are not here by morning …"

"I also sent someone to Yinzhou. I just hope that they can reach Yinzhou by daylight." Duan Chengrui lightly patted the back of her hand. "Wait for my return."

"It's better if you tell this to Yueqing." Gu Danyan quickly retracted his hand and lightly pushed Duan ChenRui's shoulder: "Your life is more important."

Duan Chengrui jumped onto his horse and looked at the wooden box. He suddenly laughed, "It's all thanks to you, I only need to act as a bait now."

Duan Chengrui spurred his horse to ride away, while Gu Danyan remained standing on the spot.

She was used to having ideas, but she couldn't remember that Duan Chengrui was also a talented person.
