C470

If Fringe City was to be used as a military base, naturally, it could not be left to the common people.

When exiting the city, countless refugees were carrying their luggage or walking or hiring carriages. It could be said that they were in a good order, but the slaves could only walk on two legs.

Even the slaves in this city looked like half of the refugees. Many of the young children were unwilling to accept this, but Jiang Yan had done too many shackles and had been unable to escape.

These people had yet to wake up from their stupor.

Before she left, Gu Mingyan was about to bring a group of girls with her. She was sitting in a horse carriage with her partner, while Gu Danyan was sitting across from Lai Xuan with the little girl they had just met.

"Give me your hand, I'll help you clean up." Gu Liuyan bent his body and stretched out his hand with a smile.

The little girl hurriedly put her two hands in front of her. Gu Mingyan saw that there was some dirt between their nails and there were some bruises on their bodies, so she controlled her temper and tidied them up a little. She pinched her cheeks, "Alright, if you're hungry, then tell me."

As if he thought of Qingze, Gu Tinyan always loved these children very much.

Even though Lai Xuan didn't agree with her, she still spoke up after a while in a low voice, "As a noble princess, do you usually like noisy children like this?"

"As a noble general, you are just a hot-blooded person. Aren't you only allowed to listen to Ai Yan's orders and do nothing?" Gu Liuyan returned the gaze with a cold voice. Seeing that his gaze had turned colder, he raised his hand to cover the girl's eyes. He looked at Lai Xuan with a bit of anger: "General Lai, don't scare a child."

Lai Xuan only resentfully withdrew her gaze and turned her head away.

Gu Ming Yan thought this little girl's slave would be scared. Who knew that the little girl would blink her eyes and lightly pull Gu Pingyan's sleeve. She leaned over and said: "Master, Lord Lai's nails also have some dirt under them."

In the small carriage, the child's tender voice was too clear. Lai Xuan folded her arms and did not say a single word.

"You're not even afraid of him?" Gu Danyan held the girl in his arms and felt her stiffen. He rubbed her head and said, "I see him looking fierce. I am scared. You are brave."

The little girl's face blushed from the praise, she was actually a little embarrassed, "When others are bullying me, only Master Lai will stop them. Last time … "He even stealthily gave me a mouthful of sweet food. This is the first time I've eaten something so delicious …"

The child who had yet to grow up still retained some innocence, but Gu Daiyan felt his heart ache.

However, she had a whole new level of respect for this Lei Xuan. She only softened her tone and asked, "Why are you rejected by Ai Yan? Maybe I can help you?"

"You are nothing more than a man of Eldan."

"So what? Everyone has their own eyes and noses. After all, we're all just people. If you want to eat, you have to drink. If you want to live, you have to die. Why do you care?" Gu Danyan was also amused by his vulgar words, but she had heard them from Qi Lin, so it was reasonable.

He hadn't thought that a princess of a country would be able to say such a thing.

Lai Xuan didn't find it interesting. She thought for a moment, then said in a low voice, "This time, I directly requested for my life from the Emperor. This kind of good opportunity, Aiyan won't give it to me."

"You're one of the ten great generals of Jiang Yan, how can he treat you like this?" Gu Daiyan felt it was strange, but after she asked, she felt that something was wrong. Even if she asked, Lai Xuan probably wouldn't tell her.

Sure enough, there was only a long silence.

At first, she thought that there was no opening for her to break through. Unexpectedly, the little girl beside her opened her mouth first. "Because, Lord Lai is also a servant …"

Before he could finish his words, Lai Xuan's cold gaze swept over him.

After Gu Danyan was stunned for a moment, he felt more and more incredulous. However, thinking about it, before, he even felt that Ye Mo was a bit cowardly, not as domineering as the others, and there seemed to be something that made sense.

The little girl hurriedly covered her mouth, but Gu Daiyan only rubbed her head to comfort her. Since a slave like her knew about this, those people must have talked about Lai Xuan many times in front of others.

"So that's how it is." As Gu Danyan said this, she put down the girl beside her and sat beside Lai Xuan, "Since that's the case, I want to make a deal with you."

Lai Xuan turned her head around in confusion. Gu Tinyan's hair lightly brushed against his shoulder, causing him to be unable to react for a while.

"I'm very curious, which noble person did you rely on to stand out among these people?" Gu Danyan narrowed his eyes slightly. He purposely lowered his voice so that no one outside the carriage could hear him. With his other hand, he grabbed Lai Xuan's hand and secretly wrote the word 'reverse'.

Lai Xuan's expression did not change. She only distanced herself from sher. For a moment, he felt that the medicinal herbs in Fringe City also became a bit sweeter. She coughed a few times and said, "There's no need for these things …"

"Introduce that person to me. I will give you all an unexpected help." Gu Danyan spoke in a low voice, and before Lai Xuan could react, Gu Danyan's next words had also come, "Not only that, I also know that there are quite a few courageous and battle-ready clans nearby. It's time for the current Jiang Yan to have a fresh blood."

Lai Xuan didn't say anything. Gu Meiyan stared at him for a while and then went over to play with the little girl.

It was as if nothing had happened just now.

When it was night time, Gu Danyan told Phantom Demon everything he had heard in the carriage today, but Phantom Demon understood her meaning: "If he has a bad conscience, he will pay attention to you at all times. However, if he has no bad intentions, he will naturally report this to Jiang Yan and he will definitely suspect you."

"Right, as long as we can differentiate which side he stands on, it will be beneficial to me." "I was wondering why these slaves had been suppressed for so many years and hadn't fought back. I thought that Jiang Yan's side wouldn't treat them too viciously, but now that I think about it, if that little girl was right, what could the people behind Lai Xuan be up to?"

"Tell me about it." He passed the roasted rabbit meat to her curiously.

"Lai Xuan is a slave, no matter how meritorious she is, as long as the emperor does not loosen his mouth, he will not get this title. The emperor has already given this order to the people behind him, and the person behind this must be someone the emperor believes in. In addition, he is also telling those slaves that there is a chance of survival, but if you think carefully, it is impossible for a slave who was born unwilling to gain control of the kingdom. Then why would he personally ask the emperor for an imperial edict?"

The ghost thought for a moment. "The person behind him is one of the emperor's trusted aides. The person who promoted him was actually dissatisfied with Jiang Yan, but pretended to support the emperor on the surface …"

"Yes, and the trusted aides of the Emperor." Gu Liuyan tore off a piece of rabbit meat and laughed softly: "It's Gu Cheng."
