In a confrontation between two sides, Duan Chengxuan seemed as if he was suppressed by Duan Chanrui for all his achievements, but now that he thought about it, the two were evenly matched.

Once the Rising City was destroyed, Duan Chengxuan would take over the Jiang Yan Stone Song in order to seize the rewards. If he solved the trouble in the Waterfall Gully in the future, then even if Jiang Yan attacked again and destroyed the city, this place would become a safe haven for him. He would only need to transport food and water at the present time, and when he built a wall in the future, he would be at the Navy Tide Mountain Pass.

"After the water gate is built, all the credit will be given to you in the next thousand years."

Duan Chengxuan said in a low voice, but the blade at his waist suddenly left its sheath.

The aunt exclaimed and fell to the ground. In front of him, he saw Gu Danyan grab his wrist: "Auntie knows a lot. Just keep her by my side."

"A woman's benevolence." In the next moment, a sound of breaking air could be heard coming from behind, and her waist was abruptly grabbed by someone. Warm blood practically smashed onto her face, causing her to close her eyes in shock, and her body followed up with a tremble.

The aunt's body fell heavily to the ground, and the knife in her hand fell to the ground.

When Gu Liu Yan slowly opened her eyes, a few soldiers had already walked in to carry the aunt out. She still hadn't recovered from her shock, but Duan Chengxuan lowered his head to feel her petite body and was slightly stunned. Only when someone had cleaned up the blood on the ground did he open his mouth and ask, "How long are you still hiding in my arms?"

The person in his arms stiffened. This time, Gu Tinyan raised her head, but she remained silent.

However, Duan Chengxuan thought that she was terrified. After carefully thinking about it, the person before him was a woman after all, so he lowered his voice and said, "How did Third Prince protect you? It actually protected you to such an innocent extent."

"I was blinded by luck. I really thought that this world was filled with people who were loyal to each other." Gu Daiyan struggled free from Duan Chengxuan's embrace and lightly tapped her chin with her finger as she spoke, with a hint of regret. She glanced at Duan Chengxuan indifferently as she said, "Thank you for just now, Prince. I won't be so trusting in the future."

"Right." Duan Chengxuan nodded. "There are still many important matters that need to be dealt with within the city. The matter of moving people to Guan Ping city needs at least half a month, so I'll have someone follow you around these few days. You can go between them whenever you want …"

"In this little half a month, I have more important things to do. I will not tell Third Prince about the Fallen Water Ditch, so please grant me your request." Gu Liuyan finally came back to her senses.

In a few days, the Rising Sun City would probably be surrounded by two groups of soldiers and horses, cutting off their rations. They would definitely be able to surround them within half a month, and she naturally had to properly discuss business matters with Jiang Yan to gain some trust.

Gu Danyan would never sit still and wait for death. Even if he wanted to treat these slaves kindly and spread his reputation, it would also cause the hatred of Jiang Yan's slaves. It would also be possible to rise and change the dynasty, but how to make Navy Tide not send troops to attack Jiang Yan's internal strife was something she could think about later.

Originally, he thought that he would deal with him once and for all, but he heard Duan Chengxuan say in a low voice, "Since this duke wants to rope you in, I naturally believe in you. Don't disappoint this duke."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Gu Liuyan hurriedly lifted the curtain and left. Before she left, Cheng Shan gave her a small plate carved with a calligraphy piece and also gave her a horse to leave with.

Gu Mingyan should have sent people to protect her in the dead of night, but she insisted on leaving alone.

Gu Danyan was dressed in a black robe as she blended into the dark forest. The sound of a wild beast echoed in the air, but she showed no fear.

Looking at her back from above the city gate, Duan Chengxuan kept thinking of Gu Danyan. If you were to say that Yun Chen was a woman with guts, then if Gu Danyan had arrived at the border, he would probably have the same appearance of courage.

The two sisters seemed to be growing more and more alike.

After the night breeze cooled down, the danger in Duan Chengxuan's eyes slowly condensed.

"Cheng Shan, don't you think she's too similar to Gu Mingyan?"

"But the wangfei has long buried herself in the ground and settled down. Even if Yun Chen is a woman, he should only be somewhat similar to the wangfei …" Cheng Shan started to feel guilty when he spoke of this.

People were similar, but how many people in the world could there be if they were so similar?

"Send someone to return to the Sky Flame and dig up Gu Liuyan's coffin. Check her corpse and send someone to the Yun clan to investigate if Yun Chen's background is as I saw it when I was in the Sky Flame." Duan Chengxuan's fingernails dug into his palm, accompanied by a wave of pain from the heart that was infected by the betrayal.

Gu Cheng had also been decapitated under the guillotine.

In that case, wasn't everything Gu Daiyan the same as the golden cicada shedding its shell?

Perhaps Yun Chen was Gu Liuyan.

She was deceiving herself, this woman.

He really wanted to send someone to bring Yun Chen back, to tear off her disguise without a care for anything else. However, that person and his horse had already disappeared into the forest. Even the tracks of the horses could not be found.

The cold wind was as sharp as knives, and the silvery moonlight that shone through the gaps between the leaves was constantly on the move.

The blood quietly dyed the reins red, but her heart was similarly anxious. Duan Chengxuan's gaze became more and more serious as he looked at her, and when he raised his head and noticed the concern in his eyes, his heart felt as if it was violently pulled into the water, and a suffocating pressure followed.

One day, she would reveal her identity.

Back then, when Duan Chengxuan cared about her the most, it was her who slashed his heart with her blade.

When she returned that day, she saw him mumbling dejectedly to his tombstone on top of the cliff. She was already feeling guilty.

Now that he had been able to protect Yun Chen with his identity as Yun Chen, he actually suppressed the hatred in his heart and felt slightly more at ease.

It was as if he'd stepped into the mud once more, and he was unable to extricate himself.

"The two of us do not owe each other anything. Yet, at this moment, we are standing opposite each other. Yet, we are actually unable to make sense of the situation. Truly, this is a bad fate." Muttering to himself with a hint of self-suggestion.

Suddenly, as if she had thought it through, she loosened the reins a little bit. The pain went straight to her head, causing her to be even more clear-headed.

Shaking her head, she could only temporarily forget about these childhood sweethearts as she tightly clamped her legs to the horse's abdomen. She wanted to rush back to the ghost's side before daybreak, but she couldn't forget that she was still grounded, so she couldn't be easily discovered for the time being.

He had to put down the pigeon and wait for four hours before Ping Chuan rode out alone. He was worried in his heart as he said: "You went to the Jing King's place for a few hours, and all the ghosts and ghosts have already rushed to the Third Prince's place."

"Hurry up and call him back. According to the plan, I should be going to Jiang Yan to discuss business. If I didn't have her protection, I would have been killed by now." Gu Liuyan made a gesture of "die" and continued: "Has the third prince prepared two thousand sets?"

"I've been preparing for a long time, but if you want to send Jiang Yan through the pills, you'll have to ask your master."

"Mother isn't here, so I'll decide for myself …"

"Master has long since set out. The people from the Wind Pavilion have long since been prepared for Jiang Yan and Jiang Chen. You only have to wait for master to pass. It will be two days before you two meet." Ping Chuan's face turned completely black. He looked at Gu Pingyan with a hint of a smile, as if he was saying …

You're dead.
