Ten days later, the Lai Xuan army was victorious.
During the siege, the people of the city resisted because of the heavy tax, and collaborated to take them down.
Even so, Lai Xuan's army had still lost a third of its members. The remaining soldiers could only barely defend the three cities in front of them and were unable to enter the speedy end of the battle as Ming Yan had said. They could only temporarily send more ambitious men to fill up the army.
She would send people to secretly contact the hollow old man and Gu Sheng, but she would need Lai Xuan to calm the hearts of the people and cultivate her military strength so that she wouldn't be taken down in at least three months.
The moment Gu Liuyan got off the carriage, he saw soldiers dressed in Navy Tide Armor neatly walking up. The man in the lead looked to be in his forties, and he wore two long braids on his shoulders. His skin was dark, and he looked like a foreigner.
If he had seen it before, he should have an impression of it.
That man walked up and bowed. He did not look like a soldier at all. He lazily glanced behind Gu Daiyan and asked, "Where are the ghosts?"
"He didn't come back." Gu Danyan took a few steps forward and raised his head to look at this tall man: "What should I call you?"
"My name is Sang Ning. I'm the master of Cheng 12% and ghost." Sang Ning slightly raised his head and saw that Gu Pingyan's expression was a bit ugly, so he immediately lifted his hand to pinch her chin: "Are you alright?"
"It was only caused by hurrying." Gu Danyan spoke indifferently: "I've never seen you before."
"If you weren't pregnant, I wouldn't come out, but I don't have an official position." Sanning withdrew his hand and pinched her shoulder. He then lifted her shoulder and half-led her to a nearby restaurant. "Go have a good meal first."
"I don't eat cold and spicy dishes." Gu Danyan, on the other hand, wasn't wary of such people.
"I heard from them that you had a bad temper."
"Although my temper isn't too good, I am still a person's person." Gu Danyan shook off one of his hands and slowed down her pace. She asked, "What exactly did Duan Chengxuan call you here for?"
"Why didn't you imitate that girl surnamed Su and call him Big Brother Xuan? It doesn't seem like it's pleasing at all." Sanin retracted his hand and stroked his chin which had a little stubble on it, teasingly slowing down his pace to walk beside her.
"I can't call him out, and Big Brother Xuan only has two words on him, so it's not much different from me calling him by his full name." Then, Gu Daiyan couldn't help but repeat his question.
However, this time, Sang Ning acted as if he didn't hear anything. He dragged her into the restaurant and ordered everyone to surround the restaurant, not allowing anyone to enter.
In this restaurant, even if it was the best dishes, in Sang Ning's eyes, they were nothing more than ordinary dishes. With a pair of cold eyes looking at the shopkeeper, he heard the sound of the chopsticks clashing against each other. Gu Daiyan was holding up his chopsticks and passing them to him, "Although you look like a spoiled and spoiled person, you should know that there is something here that you can't even buy with silver.
"You can eat these things with your status?" With a bitter face, Sanning took the chopsticks and said, "I didn't eat this when my head was tied to my belt."
Gu Ming Yan rolled her eyes at him and ate all the rice that was left to her. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and wiped the corner of her mouth, only to see Sang Ning looking at him with a conflicted expression on his face. He coughed a few times and said, "You eat first. Let's get down to business after we're done."
"Forget it, you're completely different from what the rumors say." "I may not have an official position, but I was the one who fought in the war with the Prince that year. I was originally only responsible for helping him train his subordinates in the forest, and I also helped to pass on a few words from time to time. Today, I've come to ensure your safety."
"That's perfect. The ghost is not by my side, and I still lack a helper." Gu Danyan took a sip of warm water and looked at him: "Besides, I don't really respect my elders. If you really are going to be my assistant, I won't be merciful."
The forty-something years old man immediately sobbed and scratched his head for a long time before crossing his arms. "His Royal Highness will be arriving in a few days. You're not afraid that he'll beat you up."
"Don't I have you? Didn't you say you would guarantee my safety?" Gu Danyan raised his eyebrows, put the silver beside his hand and stood up: "Eat first, I still need to buy some herbs and bottles, I'll come find you later."
With that said, Gu Ming left the restaurant without looking back. The guards at the entrance didn't bring a single one, only putting on their veils and walking towards the market at an extremely slow pace.
Sanning, who was on the second floor, watched as she walked into a clinic. Only after he finished eating the big bowl of noodles did someone run up and kneel beside him. "My Lord, the Prince has been waiting for a long time. He is asking you about the situation of His Highness."
"Everything is fine, it's just that this girl is very troublesome." Sanning waved his hands impatiently.
He took out a list from his waist, walked into the second pharmacy, and brought out an extra small bag. He then slowly returned to the second floor of the restaurant, put down his things, and looked at him: "I've already bought everything, let's go."
"The yard is on the next street." Sanin did not expect her to come back.
Gu Liuyan was slightly stunned at first, but then she smiled and bent down to look at him with some difficulty: "Didn't you follow Duan Chengxuan's orders and bring me back? Stay by his side, give birth to your child, and then do what I want? "
Duan Cheng Xuan didn't raise such a request, so why would this girl have such a thought?
Looking at Gu Daiyan's clear eyes, Sang Ning pulled her to his side and sat down. He stared at her: "He didn't tell me to bring you back, he wanted me to come here personally."
"Then he's crazy." Gu Mingyan looked at him as if she was looking at a fool, "This is Jiang Yan's territory, and he's a damned Crown Prince of Navy Tide. When he comes, even a few countries will be eyeing him covetously, perhaps they'll kill him while she's here."
"But he will still come for you." Sanning suddenly felt his head hurt.
"Then he's a fool." Gu Liuyan rolled her eyes impatiently: "I don't need him at all …"
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw the person from her memories walk in from outside, looking down at her with a cold gaze. "I really have to discipline you properly."
