"If it wasn't for him delaying us by four hours, we wouldn't have to be worried that day." Gu Mingyan said so, but she quickly waved at the ghost. She didn't forget to ask, "And why is he here?"
"He said that he would send someone to take over the city, and that the third prince was very brave and would not join him on the battlefield." The guard was half-kneeling on the ground, not even daring to raise his eyes to look at Gu Daiyan.
Gu Daiyan raised his eyebrows and thought for a while. "How does the Emperor feel about this matter?"
"Your Majesty is very gratified. It seems that his evaluation of Third Prince is much better." The dark guard's tone also carried a hint of pride.
Then all this was natural.
Duan Chengxuan said that he would bring him to the battlefield, but in that area where swords and spears had no eyes, nothing that happened was worth mentioning.
After he dismissed the guard, Gu Pingyan took out his knife and said: "I have never been to the battlefield before."
"Even if you do, I will protect you." He then took out a pill from the medicine box on his waist and stuffed it into Gu Daiyan's pocket, "You should take this medicine that can bring the dead back to life."
"Then what if you fight with someone and get injured?" Gu Danyan was dissatisfied.
According to the Yun family's secret recipe, the main ingredients required were still Jade Dragon Snow and Phoenix Bile, which were very difficult to neutralize. Even though there were two whole stalks of Jade Dragon Snow with Phoenix Bile, the one that had the true effect was only this one pill, and it even had a hint of alcohol.
"I can run faster than you." Ghosts helped her apply the last piece evenly.
The corner of Gu Daiyan's mouth twitched, but he still accepted it.
However, after a while, King Jing brought a thousand elite soldiers to Guan Ping city. Because of the previous dispatch, the thousands of soldiers guarding the city were suddenly dissatisfied with him. On the surface, they were not very respectful.
Gu Danyan stood at the city gate to greet him, and he glanced at Duan Chengxuan from afar.
Duan Chengxuan quickened his pace and the horse's hooves stomped on the ground as it stopped near Gu Danyan. The dark horse snorted and its pair of large black eyes sized up Gu Danyan, then it turned its head a few times before coming to a stop.
Duan Chengxuan didn't notice that there was something wrong with the horses, so Gu Daiyan bowed and continued saying, "We will follow the orders of Prince Jing."
"I heard that it was all your idea this time." Duan Chengxuan said with a cold expression.
Gu Danyan blinked and nodded.
In the next moment, she felt a sharp pain in her arm. When she came back to her senses, she was already seated behind Duan Chengxuan, and quite a few officers were crying out in alarm.
"I can ride my own horse." Gu Liuyan struggled and wanted to get down.
How proper!
"If I wait for you to ride the horse, I'm afraid I won't be able to get anywhere in a day." After he finished speaking, Duan Chengxuan had already raised his whip. Gu Daiyan was startled, and she quickly embraced his waist as the two hundred elite soldiers behind her followed closely.
Outside the city, large areas of snow-white were covering everything.
Amidst the oncoming snowstorm, she heard Duan Chengxuan continue speaking. "I didn't expect that a descendant of the Yun Family would actually have such a deep understanding of martial arts."
"Of course, our Yun family doesn't only have doctors. We also have a lot of martial artists." As Gu Liuyan spoke, he felt that the people of the Yun clan were all powerful people and were quite proud of themselves.
"If This King wants, I can kill you at any time to eliminate any future troubles."
These words were even colder than the winter wind and snow.
As long as he was willing, Gu Danyan could immediately fall off the horse.
"But you also know, it's not just because of me. I didn't call for reinforcements, and I'm not the one who found the catapult." Gu Liuyan said softly, "Even without me, Duan Chengrui will one day be able to tie with you."
"But all I want is for Wan-Er to be righteous." Duan Chengxuan's voice suddenly softened.
The person behind him was silent for a moment, then said helplessly: "Then if her name doesn't make sense, then you don't like her? At that time, it was perfectly justified for my big sister to be here. You should use her as a chess piece, whether you like her or not. "
"You don't understand."
"It's just that you don't want to admit it." Gu Danyan's voice was like ice as she climbed up Duan Chengxuan's back, "Besides Su Yu Wan, did you really not hold the position of emperor that slipped away from your hands in anger?"
After being stabbed in the deepest part of his heart, Duan Chengxuan angrily pulled on the reins.
The front horse's hooves flew up and the horse's back tilted.
Gu Liuyan almost fell down from the horse, landing heavily on the snow. Although her winter clothes didn't hurt much, the sound of two hundred elite soldiers' hooves on her back was still deafening.
What two hundred elite soldiers had not expected to see stopped beside her. Those hooves could have taken her life if they had taken another step forward.
The deputy general carefully gestured, and everyone took a step back to avoid harming the strategists who fell off their horses.
Currently, the matter of Yun Chen helping Duan Chengrui stabilize had long since spread. With the Emperor's appreciation, she could not easily die.
Gu Liuyan struggled to raise her head from the snow as she looked at Duan Chengxuan's cold face through the snow and wind.
Just like how she knelt before him at death's door, hoping that the culprit would save her people, a fire burned in her heart.
"Look at yourself, you don't even look like that war god!"
"The current you is no longer that War God who fought for his country with hot-bloodedness. You are just a coward who is resentful of the past!"
Gu Liuyan shouted without any sense of reason: "That's good too Su Yu Wan! The lost throne was fine! That's just something that's tied you up, what's funny is that you don't know anything about it. Listening to those people calling your name, looking up to see you kill a God, is that a sense of accomplishment! "
The two hundred elite soldiers held their breath and looked at Duan Chengxuan with deep concentration, trembling with fear.
The latter almost flew into a rage as she dismounted. The long polished blade was pressed against the tip of her nose.
"Don't look like your sister."
"I wish I could kill you and die for her."
Too similar! This gaze was exactly the same as the one Gu Liuyan had when she was angry that day!
Duan Chengxuan was enraged, but the saber blade in his hand was wrapped up in his memories of Gu Daiyan, and guilt and unforgettable love prevented him from having the impulse to kill.
She took a deep breath, then slowly closed her eyes and opened them again. There was indifference in her eyes as she said: "You didn't even realize that you liked Gu Danyan more than anything, what made you unable to do anything?"
This question seemed to be directed at the two of them.
How could Gu Danyan not know that Duan Chengxuan had provoked him time and time again.
It was just because he was similar to Gu Liuyan.
