C654

This was the first time Duan Cheng Xuan got so close to the strange black clothed troop.

Everyone was wearing a black robe, and there was a picture of Bai Yulan embroidered on the scarves on their faces. Only a pair of eyes could be seen in the darkness, each person riding a horse, but there was no sign of a weapon.

"Prince …" The person behind him still wanted to stand in front of Duan Chengxuan.

"I can't get angry at Yan'Er, I can use your blood to extinguish my anger." The long saber in Duan Chengxuan's hand was thrown up into the air, then it firmly descended into his hand. The cold light in his eyes was tainted with a trace of blood.

Without saying a word, the black robed soldiers in front of him raised their black robes, revealing their weapons in unison.

Beneath the tree, Gu Daiyan was carefully reading the book he did not pay attention to before, not caring about the sounds of meeting weapons in the forest. He only looked at the records about the treasure and asked: "This treasure may not seem precious, but it is far away in the desert, so how can it cure the poison?"

Aizi pondered for a while and said: "I only heard about it from the hearsay. I have heard the elders talk about it in my childhood but it is hard to know the effect of it."

"Since this item isn't too precious, I don't mind finding some." Gu Danyan closed the book with a clap. Not far away, a black figure heavily fell onto the ground. Duan Chengxuan walked out from the forest with half his body covered in blood. Blood splattered all over his face, causing Gu Mingyan to frown slightly.

Ai Qi was frightened out of his wits, but after seeing Duan Chengxuan give her a meaningful glance, she quickly stepped forward and flipped over the man who was still alive. She saw two bloody wooden strips stuffed into his mouth, and his eyes were wide open.

The two of them walked over and helped her hold the person in front of her.

Gu Danyan, on the other hand, was still standing in his original position. He frowned his nose as he watched Duan Chengxuan toss the bloody saber to his subordinate. "You've gone mad."

"Their goal is you." Duan Cheng Xuan stopped walking and used her clean sleeve to wipe the blood off her face. "Who did you offend this time?"

"Why didn't you say that someone wanted to take action against your weakness, Prince Jing?" Gu Danyan pinched his nose and revealed a look of disgust.

She had always hated facing death head-on, but Duan Chengxuan was always so brazen.

"Do you still need me to remind you of your identity? Your Highness. " Duan Chengxuan quickly took off the outer clothes on his body, and some of his subordinates found cleaner clothes for him to change into. However, the smell of blood that was difficult to dissipate was not pleasing to the eye, so he sat down on the tree trunk and drank a mouthful of water.

Gu Danyan sighed and asked Ai Qi: "Another Death Soldier?"

"They should be Navy Tide people, and this poison is also one of them." Ai Zhi took out a small pill wrapped in medicinal powder from his mouth and stopped struggling. She only stared at Ai Qi's every move.

"Looks like they're coming for you." Gu Danyan looked at Duan Chengxuan with a headache. "You've been pestering me here for so long, how much do you know about the current Navy Tide situation?"

"I have a thorough understanding of the situation. The Black Cloaked Army shouldn't appear here." Duan Chengxuan had a gloomy expression, and the subordinate beside him walked over and half knelt before him. "We didn't notice this team."

After pondering for a long time, Duan Chengxuan could not allow such a foreign army to appear within Navy Tide. He said, "Flying Pigeon, send someone to investigate these black-clothed soldiers. Also, send two more people to check out where exactly this person is from in Navy Tide, how many families he has, and who he works for behind his back."

When he mentioned the word "family", the expression on the black-clothed man became even more tense.

Ai Qi, on the other hand, furrowed his brows and stuffed the wooden branch back into his mouth. After letting him be taken away, he returned to Gu Danyan's side.

Gu Danyan, however, didn't have the mood to continue reading: "There's a team of soldiers suddenly appearing here, and you still feel at ease to follow me to Ldan, and you still want to discipline me?"

"I've said it before, this world isn't mine in the future, it's his, Duan Chengrui's, world." Duan Chengxuan threw the water bag to the side and looked meaningfully at Gu Daiyan. "Unless you wish for me to help Duan Chengrui."

This was unreasonable.

What was supposed to be serious now came out of his mouth, adding a bit of jealousy.

Originally, Duan Chengxuan wanted to cut off her news, but if he were to provoke her a little more, then he would be the only one who wouldn't be able to eat the good fruit. After careful consideration, she opened the book in his hands and said, "If you don't want to, then you don't have to, after all, Navy Tide isn't my homeland."

Regarding this, Duan Cheng Xuan only brought along a few people to temporarily leave this place, and after giving some detailed instructions, the few of them decided to hurry on.

Ai Qi and Gu Daiyan sat in the carriage, and Duan Chengxuan didn't stick to Gu Daiyan today. He rode the horse by himself, afraid that the smell of blood that had yet to dissipate from his body would make her unhappy.

The two of them hastily discussed the matter about Xi Bao, when they heard the falcon's voice from above them. Gu Pingyan only took the opportunity to glance at the gap between Ai Qi and the carriage's curtains to know that the falcon sending a letter must be very important. Without asking, he looked at Ai Qi and asked, "How is your relationship with the Void Stage?"

"In other words, it doesn't matter at all. Elder Xu is extremely snobbish, and even more so, she was a slave trader back in the day. The women in the mansion, or even their daughters, including granddaughters like me, were never taken seriously." Ai Qi's eyes darkened. He clenched his fists and said, "If I wasn't so toxic, she wouldn't have noticed that I have a granddaughter."

Gu Danyan raised his eyebrows and found it laughable. The Void Elder from before had put on a look of liking for his granddaughter.

"Since that's the case, he only sent you here as a bargaining chip. If someone were to overthrow you one day, what should I do?" Gu Danyan put the book to the side.

"The winner is the king, while the loser is the thief." Ai Qi's face was calm, as if he really didn't care about her feelings at all.

Gu Liuyan didn't say anything more. She pressed a hand to his chest and made a silent gesture.

Knowing that her action meant she had to shut up, Aichi solemnly nodded his head. Both of them picked up their books, and the carriage became quiet.

And on top of the horse, Duan Chengxuan had already released the falcon into the sky and only took out the slip of paper in his hand.

"The borders are under the control of the ninth prince, Duan Feng. Gu Cheng has sent people to ambush the third prince once upon a time."

Just a few words were sufficient to cause the expressions of everyone around Duan Chengxuan to turn nervous.

Not only had Duan Feng sent people to hunt her down in the Navy Tide territory before, but now she even had control of the border with one hand. His wolf's ambition was as clear as day, and if he did not deal with it properly, then perhaps this Navy Tide throne would be taken away by the ninth prince in a few months.

"Your Highness, this …"

"There's no need to worry. Sky Flame City will not fall. What Duan Feng did is just digging her own grave." Duan Chengxuan put the note back into her sleeve and her expression was normal as she said, "There's no need for so many people to guard the village. Once everything is arranged, you all can go to the border to gather information and not meddle in other people's business."
