C502

It was rare for him to sleep more peacefully by the side of ghosts.

Even though the carriage jolted, she felt refreshed when she woke up. The nightmare had dissipated somewhat.

The people driving the carriage were not ghosts, but the secret guards that the emperor had sent over. They had been waiting for ghost's orders for a long time, and now they only treated it as ordinary servants following closely behind.

"You're awake?" Phantom Demon crossed his arms and opened his eyes. He saw that she was rubbing her sore arms, and also looked outside the carriage. "We'll be entering Jiang Yan's city in a few more kilometers."

"Looks like I slept for quite a long time." Gu Liuyan only pursed the corner of his lips, "I have many conditions to discuss with Gu Cheng during this trip, so you don't have to be by my side. Otherwise, it'll be even more difficult for me to deliver the news."

"This trip is too dangerous. How can I let you go alone?" Phantom frowned.

"Duan Cheng Xuan's men can't follow me either. You might as well be an envoy of Er Dan and live alone in a inn. If something happens in the future, I'll think of a way to send a message." Furthermore, I still have two cards in my hand. Gu Cheng will not easily provoke me, but instead, he will treat me well. " Gu Danyan rubbed his neck.

Of these two cards, one was that Yun Wan was already dead, that she was the only daughter of Yun Wan, and it was possible that she really did have that immortal medicinal formula. The other was her current identity, Gu Cheng was smart, and even if she was in danger, he should still know that if she kept Gu Gouyan alive, there would be an additional path for him to walk in the future, and it wouldn't be worth killing her no matter what.

After some careful calculations, Gui Gui was finally able to relax a bit.

Along the way to the city, Gu Daiyan noticed that there seemed to be more soldiers around. At this moment, General Yi Yan was riding on his horse and blocking their way: "Your Highness."

She gently called out before lifting the curtain of the carriage and casting a cold glance at him. "Why? Does your master still want you to talk business with me this time?"

Ai Yan's expression froze. However, once he thought about the fact that she was the sole princess of the Royal family, everyone who heard the rumors knew how good the Emperor treated the princess. The war was tight, and he naturally could not be offended, so he could only smile and say, "That's not it, I came here today to ask my two sons to send you to the capital …"

"Let's just call him General Lai Xuan." Gu Danyan jumped down from the carriage and looked at Ai Yan provocatively: "As far as I know, the person who has spoken in front of the Emperor right now is still General Lei Xuan."

Ai Yan's expression immediately changed.

He had thought the princess was a scarecrow.

But now that he was slightly angry, Ai Yan laughed coldly and said, "Even though you are Er Dan's little highness, don't forget, even though you gave us the weapon Jiang Yan, don't forget, in the end, you aren't the daughter of Emperor Er Dan, and the real one is still Princess Cang Lan Jing. Are you really not afraid of losing your life to go to the capital?"

It seemed like they were well-informed.

"What is there to fear?" Gu Danyan raised his head and walked in front of Ai Yan. He gently patted the horse's head and said, "Since I'm here, I naturally have enough chips with me."

"If General Yi Yan has the ability to make me take out these chips, it is also your ability."

Withdrawing his hand, Gu Liuyan did not have a good impression of this bloodthirsty person who advocated slavery.

In that case, it was just to not let him disturb her.

However, after walking two steps, Gu Danyan thought of something and turned to look at him: "But I am very curious about that Ai Zhi, why don't we go on our journey together."

Ai Yan was slightly surprised. This daughter who brought back a man after losing her innocence had long since wanted to give up. It was only because she was smart that she decided to stay, but he didn't expect that this little prince would actually know her.

"How does Your Highness know my daughter?"

"I was curious as to what she had discussed with King Jing."

Gu Liuyan spoke casually, but Ai Yan was surprised. This matter was originally something that only the people involved knew about. Even Gu Cheng only had a vague idea of what was going on.

He didn't dare to look down on His Highness, so he had no choice but to send someone to call Ai Qi and Lai Xuan over. On the other side, he looked at the empty carriage and asked, "Your Highness, you don't even have a servant with you?"

"It can be considered that I showed some sincerity towards Emperor Jiang Yan."

As Gu Daiyan spoke, he had already climbed into Jiang Yan's carriage without fear.

It was not as intimate as being with a ghost or Duan Chengxuan, but it could be said that this carriage was well-equipped.

With regards to this, Ai Yan could only view the young prince's courage in a new light. He had instructed his men not to be too hasty along the way, and his thoughts would naturally be guessed by Gu Daiyan.

Ai Qi and Ai Yan were at odds with each other. Lai Xuan served Gu Cheng, and Gu Cheng would never really be willing to be one of the emperor's trusted ministers. If one thought carefully, Jiang Yan was basically one of the three powers.

Since Ai Qi had the courage to help the Jing King usurp his position back then, one reason was because he was favoring the king, while the other reason was that this matter wasn't made public or that Princess Jiang Yan and the Jing King were on friendly terms, then if he thought about it carefully, this Ai Yan wasn't loyal to the current emperor.

As a result, this Jiang Yan at least had the three factions on the surface — the Emperor, Gu Cheng and Ai Yan.

All she had to do was break the balance on any side, and Gu Cheng would immediately begin his actions.

After thinking it through, Ai Qi and Lai Xuan also got into the carriage. Ai Qi was still wearing the clothes that weren't too luxurious, and the way Lai Xuan looked at her was icy cold, but she only smiled lightly and said, "I'm not a ferocious beast, why do the two masters have to look at me like that?"

"I didn't expect it to be you." Ai Qi laughed coldly. "You're not dead at all."

"I thought you knew." Gu Liuyan was still smiling, so she didn't even need her veil to cover her face. The next moment, Aizi felt a sharp pain on her neck, and that person's slender fingers pressed down on her neck, causing some pain.

Before she could react, her chin had already been torn off. Some powder entered her nose, and even Lai Xuan didn't have time to pull her away. She could only watch as Gu Pingyan let go of her hand, and couldn't help but cough.

"In the end, I still need some protection when I come here alone." Gu Liuyan looked at her coldly. She saw that her nails seemed to have cut Ai Qi's neck, but she only said indifferently: "If it wasn't for you, Litchi Bay wouldn't have died. If you didn't want to die these few days, you'd better let me see you keep on helping her."

Ai Qi suddenly raised his head. He knew Gu Tinyan's medical skills were incredible, not to mention that her mother had used poison. How could she concoct the antidote in just a few short days? She had no choice but to yield: "You just wait for me."

"You should know that Mu Qing was just a sweet gift from Su Yuwan." Gu Danyan changed the topic of the conversation, "You said to wait, but if you let Mu Qing stay by your side, you will have nothing."

"How do you know everything?" Ai Qi covered his throat with a cold gaze. "I was just playing along with the plan. What does Su Yuwan count as? Jiang Yanxue is the one I want."

"Since that's the case, why not make yourself king instead of subservient to others?" Gu Danyan lightly caressed her face: "Su Yu Wan will give you the news and tell you Navy Tide's plan, but I can change the situation, are you willing to work for me?"
