Jiang Yan, Fringe City.
This was a city that had been abandoned for a long time. There was once a plague that swept through all living things in this city. At that time, in order to not cause more problems, the emperor Jiang Yan forcefully sealed the city against the danger of being overthrown.
It was only a hundred years ago that this nameless border city would be able to once again settle down.
A hundred years later, there still weren't many people here, but the Jiang Yan soldiers had no choice but to retreat here because of the city that Duan Chengxuan had captured. Around twenty thousand troops gathered here, and the mountain pass within fifty miles of the city was the last line of defense, guarded by a few of Ai Yan's sons.
Gu Danyan and ghost entered the city empty-handed. The moment Gu Danyan stepped onto this piece of land, he could smell the strong smell of medicine. Almost all of the roofs had a long, creepy thing that looked like a tiger crawling on the wall.
This thing could indeed prevent the plague, and it was a rule left behind by the residents who had originally lived here.
He found a remote inn to stay at, but he did not expect to enter the city so easily during the war. Before he had even finished his meal, he heard the sound of horse hooves at the entrance, and the only customers suddenly sat upright. It seemed that at the very beginning, these people had used their status as soldiers to guard their posts.
The one who walked in was still Lai Xuan, but this time, the assistant general beside him was smiling differently.
Gu Liuyan raised her eyebrows and looked at him with some disdain: "What's wrong? "Even after forcing Pearl to death, do you still want to make a move against me?"
"Not at all." Lai Xuan's assistant general was the first to speak and Lai Xuan had a dissatisfied look on her face. She did not stop him and the man walked forward, "Since Your Highness is here to discuss and cooperate with Jiang Yan, of course you won't fail."
"In this war, all of you want to rope me in." Gu Mingyan saw the trace of joy in that person's eyes, so she retreated towards ghost's side. Her eyes were sharp: "Compared to you guys, I'd rather consider Navy Tide. That place doesn't have that many slaves."
At this point, Phantom Demon leaned forward slightly. His arm wrapped around Gu Liuyan, but his other hand had just put down the cup. His eyebrows were raised slightly and he had an indifferent and self-satisfied look on his face.
The deputy general did not dare to approach further. He only delivered a letter to the table and pushed it forward.
Gu Liu Yan looked at the stamp on the corner of the letter with a strange expression. She opened it and immediately tore it into pieces, scattering all over the floor, "What nonsense is this!? "I am not a woman, nor am I the princess of Er Dan. So what if I come over to start a business, how could it be a hindrance to him?!"
Spiritdove naturally could clearly read the words on the letter as well. He raised an eyebrow. It seemed as though the Emperor had personally sent a letter.
Gu Liuyan pretended to be angry, but there was something strange inside.
Then, as the father of the emperor, wasn't he afraid that she would use her identity to do bad things? He even wrote this letter in a fatherly tone, as if he knew what she was doing.
Angry, only then did ghost pull him back, "Don't make a ruckus."
"How can we not cause trouble!" "It seems like I've run away for nothing this time. I shouldn't have come over right after Jiang Yan lost, shouldn't I have obediently discussed business with those astute Navy Tide people!" With that, Gu Danyan threw the bag onto his shoulder and prepared to leave.
Without a choice, ghosts and ghosts had no choice but to follow him.
Before they went out the door, the two of them looked at each other, their fingertips lightly brushed against each other, and Gu Danyan pretended to stumble over the threshold. The ghost quickly supported her, and this fierce action of hers finally eased a bit, and finally made Lei Xuan react, lifting his hand to help her up: "It's dangerous outside, you really shouldn't be allowed to go out, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain it to you."
This man before him was the sole descendant of Emperor Eldan!
Although Emperor Dan's bloodline was only rumoured, there were still many people who believed him. Although the Emperor was the current Emperor, if the direct bloodline were to survive in this world, then the position of Emperor Dan's successor would be within their expectations.
If he could really get the princess into his bag, he would be able to achieve great things in the future.
"In that case, I can't leave?" Gu Danyan sneered. Before she had taken two steps, the deputy general had already given the order. The people outside had actually wrapped her up completely.
"General Ayane wants to see you." Lai Xuan made a gesture of invitation.
Gu Liuyan pursed her lips and pulled up the scarf on her face, but she still followed Lai Xuan. Her eyes were full of dissatisfaction, while Phantom Demon pretended to be helpless as he stood beside her and whispered to her. Most of his words were to calm her down, but the real thing was that he didn't hear her at all.
Emperor Erdan had even sent his only bloodline over at this moment. Was this princess faking it, or did Erdan truly want to cooperate with Jiang Yan?
This person was rather unruly and unruly, rather like a rich and noble young miss. However, if it was just a trick, in fact, he had discussed the conditions with Navy Tide. This bloodline wasn't real either, so what could he say?
Upon entering the courtyard, he saw the well-behaved slaves at the entrance to the corridor.
Lai Xuan took two steps forward. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw that the Desert Dress Princess Er Dan had not followed him. She turned around and saw that the man was holding the hands of a little girl gently.
As soon as she finished her sentence, the little girl blinked several times. Gu Danyan's cloak had tightly wrapped around her. After rubbing her slightly curled hair, that person finally caught up to Lai Xuan.
"They are only slaves." The deputy general said with a disapproving tone, as if he was about to pass the handkerchief to him.
"Those people are merely people who have had their legs broken by you for generations. If you don't want to be broken by me as well, then don't talk about what I have done while lying on the ground."
Gu Danyan glanced at him and was so shocked that the deputy general, who was fighting on the battlefield, was stunned.
In the end, he couldn't pass the handkerchief over.
Once she entered the study, Gu Danyan saw clearly that Ai Yan was standing in front of him. Jiang Yan was standing on both sides, but compared to Gu Danyan's slightly displeased expression, the others were slightly more patient.
Ai Yan coughed lightly. Before he could stand up, Gu Liuyan had already sat down. With a light raise of her hand, the maidservant outside the door understood what was going on. Seeing Ai Yan nod, she went to get some tea and water.
"Your Highness, I …"
"If you have something to say, do you want to make these guys stand in a row like idiots to show off to me!" Gu Liuyan slammed the table, interrupting Ai Yan's words with an angry roar. A few generals were so shocked that they furrowed their brows. Their momentum was actually forcefully suppressed.
"It seems that you truly are of the blood of Emperor Dan." However, Ai Yan laughed lightly, as if he was sizing her up. She had not changed her appearance the whole way here, and had only wrapped herself in a scarf. Now that she had lost her cloak, she couldn't hold herself back much.
Gu Daiyan was a proud lady who had been around for more than ten years. Now, she raised her beautiful eyes and slightly raised her fingertip. She tapped her chin and coldly said: "I am. When is it time for Old General Aiyan to speak?"
