"Let her sleep here. I'll put some medicine on her neck later."

Gu Danyan fed Ah Zi some water, then slowly stood up and went to the side to tinker with the herbs.

Cheng Shan pushed the door open. Duan Chengxuan stood by the door and his gaze was glued onto Gu Danyan's finger. He had only taken a step when Gu Danyan's voice sounded.

"I thought you were going to kill that assassin."

"No, I'm still waiting for her to go back and send a message, so that both of them can stop your thoughts." Stopping in his tracks, Duan Chengxuan knew that Gu Pingyan was still slightly dissatisfied with him injuring Ah Zi, so he only continued to say, "Will I do it according to my method in the future?"

"What should we do?" Gu Danyan turned around and looked at her, and the pestle in his hand hit with a muffled sound.

"Flatten the new kingdom and Jiang Yan and raise their position directly from ancient times." Duan Chengxuan walked up, and he felt that the wound on the back of his hand was even more dazzling. "I said I won't let you get injured again."

Gu Danyan turned around and grabbed the front of his shirt. He ferociously pushed the tall man against the wall, his eyes slightly red: "You want to trade Navy Tide people's lives for peace, it's not like that with your elbows!"

"You should know that to me, life is just a number. Those soldiers are my blades, and once they enter my army, they should know that they are no longer able to control themselves. One day, their blood will spill across the battlefield." Duan Chengxuan raised his hand and similarly grabbed onto Gu Danyan's wrist. "You should have known from the beginning that I'm a member of the Imperial Family, and not only for you, but also for Navy Tide."

"What is it? Are you trying to be nailed to the criminal pillar together with Su Yu Wan? "

Gu Daiyan shook off his hand, feeling even more confused than before.

It was just a female assassin on the waterway, and he always changed things, catching her off guard.

"That's not the case. I just don't want you to be involved, unless you can get Gu Sheng to usurp power." Duan Chengxuan looked at her coldly. "Since we disagree, then it's still the same old rule."

"Sure." Gu Danyan raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Since you want to bet with me, then let's see who wins first. But you have to promise me that when you send out the troops, you have to inform me in advance."

"Naturally." Duan Chengxuan nodded and agreed. As he looked at Gu Pingyan's eyes that were slightly shining, his heart relaxed as well.

Even though it was such a sticky day, neither of them hated it.

However, the two of them were reminiscing about their previous confrontation. Since they had placed such a huge bet, Gu Danyan naturally dared to deal with it. She wasn't willing to let Duan Chengxuan and Su Yuwan die together at that time, and Duan Chengxuan didn't want her to be threatened by so many people.

After the challenge letter was sent out, Duan Chengxuan thought that he would be able to get some benefits today. However, in exchange for that, he heard Gu Daiyan say lightly, "I'll stay here with Ah Zi for the night. You should go back and sleep …"

"I remember that you eat both men and women." Duan Cheng Xuan angrily pulled her back, and without caring about her struggling, he brought her back to his room. After arguing for a long time, he pressed her onto the bed and had a good night's sleep.

The journey of two days was not long, enough for Gu Pingyan to sew up two soft pillows. Unfortunately, no one here believed that this soft thing could be used for sleeping on the pillow, it was only called a cotton bag.

Arriving at the dock, Gu Pingyan stretched lazily. He felt that his days on the boat were shaky, but now he felt like he was standing on solid ground. Unexpectedly, someone patted his waist lightly: "No rules."

"You talk more than ghosts do." Gu Daiyan hung his arms. He thought about how he had escaped from this place, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of resentment. He just put on his veil and walked inside.

Ah Zi seemed to be very familiar with the place as she brought her to an inn. The Lady Boss was smoking a pipe, and the moment she saw Ah Zi, she hurriedly placed something down and came over, "Isn't this Miss Ah Zi? Why did she come over by the water?"

"I made it convenient. Where's Master?" Ah Zi playfully walked over, scooped a few fruits from the Lady Boss and gave them to Gu Daiyan.

Gu Daiyan lifted his veil and took a bite, feeling that the taste was not bad.

The Lady Boss suspiciously looked at her before clapping her hands. "Is this the same girl who burnt half of the town a few years ago?"

"You know?" At that time, she was trapped, so she didn't know anything else about Blackwater Town.

"Everyone knows that at that time, my two waiters were unable to catch up to you. At that time, I was thinking that you were somewhat similar to Master, so I prepared to tell that bawd that I would capture the Zhu siblings and bring you back." The Lady Boss looked as if she was disappointed. "But you ran too fast and jumped into the river. My two employees didn't see you even after soaking in the water for two days. Master even scolded the Brothel Keeper."

As he said this, Gu Daiyan was also stunned. She looked at A'Zi: "How did she know my mother?"

"To be able to do business in Blackwater Town, who hasn't seen Master before?" Ah Zi also helplessly looked at her. "Miss, you are always with other people, Master always wanted to tell you, but couldn't find the opportunity. The last time you ran out of Black Water Town, Master was afraid that you would be sad when you mentioned it, so I didn't tell you.

"Just who is this Black Water Town …" Gu Daiyan frowned.

"A branch of the Yun family is secretly supporting the emperor. They are the family of the deceased warriors who once served the emperor." A cold and clear voice came from above, Zi and the Lady Boss both lowered their heads.

Gu Danyan raised his head and looked at the cloud in the staircase.

"Mother, that is why the current emperor knows that you are still alive. The coffin on the Shadow Mountain was also created by him. This Black Water Town is not on the local records, it is because this is the last resort of the emperor." Gu Liuyan didn't rush forward like before, but he opened his mouth and spoke in a low voice.

Yunchai saw the indifference on Gu Liuyan's face, and the expression on it slightly changed. He slowly walked down to her and said, "Yan'Er, you're always so smart."

"No wonder Duan Cong doesn't seek to live forever. It's not that he doesn't want to live forever, it's that he knows this thing is fake. She treated me well before because she thought it was out of respect for you."

Then there was a more reasonable explanation for everything that had happened.

She had originally thought that Duan Cong would be an emperor with a good heart, but now that she thought about it, Duan Cong was only protecting her weakness. However, the reason why she was good to him wasn't because she was better than Su Yuwan, but purely because she was Yun Xiao's daughter.

If it was before, Yun Dian still had some doubts about Gu Liuyan's intelligence, but now, he did not doubt it at all.

However, after knowing how intelligent her daughter was, she was instead filled with deep care.

"If it is possible, I really hope that you can live a little clumsily." Yun Xiao let out a long sigh, then looked at Duan Chengxuan. "Your brother has acknowledged you, and since Yan'er is my daughter and you're the last generation appointed by the current Emperor to serve her, I naturally have to tell all of you about it."

Before Gu Liuyan could react, Duan Chengxuan had already hugged her and softly said, "You don't have to be loyal to me. It's enough for the matter to end in your generation, there's no need for Yan'er to shoulder this burden."
