"Can you do it?" Gu Liuyan let out a soft laugh from his nose: "I'm still alive and well."
At that time, no one will stop me. You should remember that all of my aides have already disappeared without a trace, and you should also remember that I had a deal with the Queen. Duan Chengxuan made a hand gesture to the side, and the people in the clothes of the waiter were already walking towards the crowd.
This time, it was Gu Daiyan's turn to be shocked.
However, the small pain urged her to think, "I've already forgotten about your aides. After all, you still haven't stopped. Those courtiers who fought with Meng Xu back then should all be yours."
"It's not a rough idea, it's all of them. Even if they were the ones with military authority given to the Sixth Prince and Yu'er, I still participated. Who asked my brother to trust me so much?" Duan Chengxuan held onto him with one hand and turned his head to look at the skinny old man that the waiter had brought out from the crowd. Then he said, "But I believe in kinship, but I don't trust the Emperor. I can only leave behind some backup."
"No wonder you dared to chase me here." Gu Pingyan sneered: "Whether it's the Fourth Prince who went to Yinzhou, or even helped Sixth Prince, or even helped Duan Chanrui take the position of Crown Prince, you should have put people in there already. I was curious previously why the place where you had your private army previously was not investigated, but instead remained here, along with the Black Water Town. The meaning is to push open Blackwater Town, and let you bring these hidden soldiers to face the struggle between a prince and a palace at any time, right?"
Duan Chengxuan didn't speak, he only smiled in a half-threatening manner and kissed Gu Daiyan's ear. "I didn't even tell these things to the person I love the most back then, because I know that the most trustworthy person in this world only has himself and his place."
Gu Liuyan no longer doubted his abilities.
Most of the military power and nearly half of the court officials were in Duan Chengxuan's hands, and even the troops under the command of the princes had long since been tampered with by him. It was no wonder that the Sixth Prince had been demoted and was now being held up by him; he probably had long since become a puppet in Duan Chengxuan's hands.
He did what he wanted with the Emperor's trust, and the Emperor cared about the trust of brotherhood.
Normally, such a dynasty would have collapsed long ago.
After the doctor who called Gu Daiyan checked his pulse, he shook his shoulders and said, "The fetus is fine, it's just that the adults' emotions are unstable, and the smoke is quite sultry."
The half-kneeling man beside him had a really imposing aura.
Having the waiter throw the doctor back into the crowd, Duan Chengxuan said with a dark expression, "When are the walls going to be blown up?"
"That depends on how courageous Ai Yan Jun is." Gu Liuyan grabbed him: "Compared to this, you're using your brother's trust in you like this."
"As long as he still trusts me, as long as he lives, I will protect him thoroughly." Duan Cheng Xuan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the doctor's words, but her gaze unconsciously landed on her shoulder. She said in a deep voice, "The box in my hand isn't an antidote, it's an antidote, right?"
Gu Danyan revealed a miserable smile: "How can you always see through my tricks, and always use others to threaten me."
"For a woman like you, a useless man might not just be led astray by the nose." Duan Cheng Xuan slightly loosened his grip on her and helped her put on a clean handkerchief.
The forest outside the city walls was still burning. Dust and smoke, which had blotted out the sky and covered the earth, drifted around the city along with the scorching heat.
Duan Chengxuan protected Gu Mingyan within his arms, as he knew that this incident was an accident. Although he had the ability to seize the throne and take over the military, at the same time, he wasn't able to cover the sky with one hand in a place like Jiang Yan.
As Gu Danyan's consciousness gradually dispersed, he thought about why he had to be so brave.
Just as she was indulged in her thoughts, she heard the sound of a gong being struck against the wall. This sound entered her ears as Gu Qing Yan hurriedly pushed Duan Cheng Xuan away from her. She slowly stood up and looked not too far away.
The sound of hooves gradually approached.
The two thousand wouldn't be able to stop the eight thousand at all.
"The gong is the signal." Gu Daiyan hooked her arms around Duan Chengxuan's neck, "Wait for the third gong to ring, then you can bring me along to run."
Duan Chengxuan helped her to sit down in a rage, and put his arm around her waist. "Wait until we get back, I'll tell everything you've done to Qing Ze so he can properly teach you a lesson."
"We'll talk about it later." I don't know if I can live that long.
Gu Daiyan said something in his heart that didn't match his smile, but he only heard the screams gradually approaching and eventually became calm. "Hahahaha!" "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
The second gong sounded, and the soldiers hidden in the crowd lit their torches. They were surrounded by the crowd, holding their breath.
The citizens on the west side of the city gradually left the drill ground, but the number of remaining citizens continued to decrease.
The warriors fighting outside the city hadn't noticed anything strange yet, while Lai Xuan's army had already thrown away their armors and fallen back step by step.
Duan Chengxuan covered his own face as well, and he had already carried Gu Danyan in his arms as he asked, "The time is not right yet."
"It's all thanks to Ai Yan looking down on them." Gu Liuyan lowered her head and leaned half against Duan Chengxuan's chest, tightly grabbing onto his clothes, but she discovered that this man was still as calm as ever. Her heart didn't fluctuate much, and the two arms that held her weren't the slightest bit shaky, but her entire body was trembling, and her teeth were chattering as she said, "I'm a little nervous, and my body's a little painful."
"Can't you take the antidote now?" Duan Chengxuan tightened his grip, then looked at the situation on the street.
The soldiers had already retreated to the front of Duan Chengxuan while most of the men from the Ai Yan Army had already entered the city. The two arrogant generals rode their horses, requesting everyone before them to prostrate themselves on the ground.
All the soldiers obeyed and retreated to the granary at the side of the drill grounds. Someone had already knelt on the ground and shouted the word 'surrender'.
"We surrender!"
"Please don't hurt our family!"
The voices of the soldiers rang out across the horizon. However, Gu Daiyan said in a low voice, "Eating the medicine will hurt even more. I'm afraid that at that time, I won't even have the strength to fight back."
"I will protect you." He took out the bottle of medicine as he surrendered, and with a mouthful of water, he poured the powder of the antidote into Gu Daiyan's mouth. The extremely bitter taste of the medicine was still in Duan Chengxuan's throat, but Gu Daiyan was forced to swallow the antidote. His eyes turned red from the pain, but he still stared at Duan Chengxuan and said, "I said I would hurt you more …"
"I'll let you bite my shoulder." Duan Chengxuan smiled as he picked her up, and from the corner of his eyes, he had already caught a glimpse of the weapons hidden behind the granary.
"Rumble ~ ~ ~" Ai Yan's army entered the city. The city gates were closed by the crowd, and the smoke and dust in front of them caused them to be shocked.
A third gong sounded from the crowd, and in the corner of the dark wall the soldiers advanced by the support of the crowd.
The gong stopped and the fuse was ignited.
