"Hah." Su Yuwan sneered, "Now that you're alone, even if there's no one else you can use, what do you think?"

Gu Liuyan pretended to be absent-minded for a moment. Then, the strength of her hand gradually increased, leaving several finger marks on her face. There was a trace of contempt in her voice: "Even so, can you kill me and keep your secret? "Don't forget that you and I have the same value in Gu Sheng's eyes."

Gu Sheng was very much in favor of Gu's point of view, not to mention the fact that they had other plans in place.

After coaxing Su Yuwan into going to Jiang Yan, it was impossible for her to truly treat Gu Cheng wholeheartedly based on her personality. When the time came, she would prioritize dealing with Gu Cheng, leaving Su Yuwan with no other choice but to stay in Jiang Yan.

Once everything was settled, Su Yuwan's life would be in her hands.

Su Yu Wan clenched her fist but still slapped her hand away. "I promise you, but you have to promise that I won't get hurt and you have to choose to cooperate with Gu Sheng."

"On what basis?" Gu Liuyan pretended to be unhappy.

"Because he can keep me safe. You can't do that." Su Yu Wan sneered.

Gu Sheng and Gu Danyan looked at each other, thinking that Su Yu Wan wasn't that stupid.

"Then how do you want me to help Gu Sheng?" Gu Danyan lowered his hand and continued asking.

"He also wants to take down Gu Sheng. I also know that the thousand war horses that Lai Xuan rebelled against are related to you. If you can help Lai Xuan, then it's not impossible for you to hand some things over to Gu Sheng."

"Sure." This time, Gu Danyan agreed honestly, which made Su Yu Wan even more certain that she was in a situation where there was no one left to use her.

Since Gu Danyan had agreed, and the three of them were once again in a state of balance, Su Yuwan relaxed a little and said: "But I must make a trip back to Navy Tide. Otherwise, Gu Cheng will think me useless from the start."

Gu Danyan nodded his head in understanding and pointed to a place not far away, "The carriage has been prepared. You should know what identity you should use to get close to Jiang Yan."

Su Yu Wan thought for a while before walking to the carriage.

Gu Sheng didn't plan on staying any longer. He exchanged a glance with Gu Daiyan before leaving in another direction.

Only Su Yu Wan believed that the three of them were in a state of checks and balances.

Only after the two of them had left did Duan Chengxuan slowly walk in. "You want me to keep hiding it from her, but when I return to Navy Tide, how long can I keep it from you?"

"There's no need to conceal anything. What I want is for her to seek refuge with either Gu Sheng or Jiang Yan." Gu Danyan poured another cup of tea for himself and laughed lowly, "As long as she goes back to Navy Tide, Gu Cheng won't really believe her. As long as the two of them don't reach an agreement, everything will go as expected."

"Is this your revenge against her?" Duan Chengxuan walked over to her side and sat down.

"I can destroy her body as I wish, but if I want to completely destroy that proud and arrogant heart of hers, I will need a lot of things to build up." Gu Liuyan glanced at him indifferently: "I don't want her to owe me anything."

Duan Cheng Xuan could only helplessly shake her head.

However, Su Yu Wan really thought that Duan Cheng Xuan knew nothing about her.

Su Yuwan's carriage would return to the Sky Flame from the other side of the road, while Gu Danyan and Duan Chengxuan would return to the capital of the city. Gu Danyan still needed to find a way to hand over everything from the Wind Listening Pavilion to Qu Hao, which would be used by him in the future.

He had to separate the Wind Listening Pavilion from Navy Tide, and Duan Chengxuan had to guarantee that all of this would be cleared up. Even if the two countries had a good relationship, there was no reason for them to share information.

Each of them had their own responsibilities.

Arriving in the capital, there was no way to rest. The moment they got off the carriage, there were countless matters to discuss. Qu Li was worried that the two of them might have forgotten their own rights.

Although Gu Liuyan wasn't as knowledgeable as Duan Cheng Xuan about the affairs of state, he still had Qu Hao to mediate from the side.

By the door, Yun Que looked at the two's completely official attitude and let out a small sigh of relief: "Since we are going to let the Wind Listening Pavilion become our pill, we can't interfere with Navy Tide for even a moment. I'll personally make a trip back in a few days."

Qu Li's eyes lit up. "After this …"

"Then I will live in seclusion." Yun Wan gave an unnatural cough, then quickly walked away under Qu Li's joyful gaze.

Inside the house, Gu Danyan carefully read through the book in his hands, "The circulation of these goods is naturally good, but there are already many horse bandits and tribes along the trading road in the middle. Now that the Jiang Yan new country has scattered this situation, the border would only become more and more chaotic.

"Clearing the area isn't the best idea. We, Navy Tide, will invite everyone from all over the country to discuss this matter in detail. We still need to have Erdan's soldiers retreat fifteen kilometers. Otherwise, Navy Tide will be harmed." Duan Chengxuan spoke up as well.

Gu Danyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Qu Hao, who was standing at the side.

Qu Hao helplessly looked at the two of them, "These matters are not something that the three of us can decide directly. After discussing it for a few days, your mouths have become dry. It's not good for you to rest for the next two days."

"Aren't there still many things that have yet to be resolved?" Gu Danyan looked at the official document beside him.

"These are just some trivial matters, the important matters that you guys have discussed are more or less the same." Qu Hao stood up and glanced at the sky, "It's still early. Uncle found a good place in the outskirts of the city during the winter, and has just built a manor to soak in the hot springs. There are also many herbs growing in the backyard, so why don't you guys go over and see if the people there are lazy?"

The reason why Qu Hao spoke so earnestly was because he wanted them to have a good rest.

Duan Cheng Xuan nodded in agreement when she thought about how Gu Xuan's health didn't seem too good.

"You like bathing in hot springs?" Gu Liuyan was curious.

"Yes." Duan Chengxuan agreed without hesitation. He had only heard that bathing in hot springs seemed to be beneficial to his body.

Gu Danyan thought about it, then nodded and agreed.

When she left the capital, she even went to the infirmary to prepare a lot of medicinal herbs, thinking that she should treat her and Duan Chengxuan's bodies when the time came. She was weak, whereas Duan Chengxuan was unrestrained when he fought; he hadn't realized it yet, but he would reveal himself in the future.

When the two left alone, Gu Danyan was still carrying a small bag on his back.

"I've learned push-back at someone else's place. Do you want to try it?" Gu Danyan asked as he jumped onto his horse.

Duan Chengxuan, who had followed closely behind her, pulled her into his embrace and asked, "When did you learn this?"

"I've learned it for a long time, but no one has tried it." Gu Liuyan couldn't possibly say that she had learned it when she was young and had forgotten about it after.

"Then I'd like to give it a try." Duan Chengxuan pulled the reins and slowly walked out.

Gu Liuyan was not suited to ride a horse. He always remembered.
