"Your Highness, the Third Prince left His Highness by himself in the town by the lake. He has already personally brought people to punish the corrupt officials. However, we were unable to find his whereabouts even after he sent out nearly two hundred spies." Cheng Shan walked over, and his gaze landed on Gu Zixian who was not far away.
If it wasn't for Hong Xiao saying that this place was the safest place in the entire army camp, Duan Chengxuan wouldn't have kept it under his nose all day, but he also requested her to not take a step near the table. There were two other trusted aides guarding the tent, and Gu Zi was always restless sitting here every day.
When he saw Cheng Shan's expression, he could only roll his eyes and follow his guards out.
"Moreover, Duan Feng has a tough attitude and is unwilling to surrender from beginning to end. The fourth prince will arrive at this place in at most a month. If we were to continue attacking the city, that would only cause your future position to waver even further." Cheng Shan continued.
Duan Chengxuan put down the official document in his hand. "Don't mind it. What news do you have from the place where you fell into the water?"
"What did His Royal Highness send people to do there? Quite a few people have already left after hearing the news. Even the people from the Jianghu that have gathered at the borders of the city seem to be very interested in finding out." Cheng Shan asked, puzzled.
Duan Chengxuan raised his eyebrows, as he still remembered that Gu Pingyan had told him before.
The immortality of this era was simply the eternal gain of the human race. If one wanted to live on their own, those words would simply be empty talk.
After some thought, the corner of his mouth lifted. "So what about Third Prince?"
"He doesn't seem to want to go against you."
"It's just the surface." The tent flap was casually lifted up by Hong Xiao, and a curved blade just barely hung onto his shoulder. That alien's face had a somewhat complacent smile on it as he said, "Prince, you have guessed right, Ai Yan's sons all brought people to counterattack, saying that the immortal secrets are in our hands. The Ninth Prince has allowed the borders to be closed this time, and is prepared to let us borrow the air city to have a fight with them."
Cheng Shan was slightly surprised and puzzled.
"So from the beginning, Yan'Er never planned to take this piece of puzzle." As Duan Chengxuan spoke like this, he tightly grasped the Zhanmadao that was placed at the side. When he raised his head, his eyes were only filled with gloom as he said, "Since this battle was caused by the secrets of longevity from the beginning, this king will naturally bury it along with the mysteries of longevity."
"But we can't get in touch with that prince."
"Yan'Er has the same heart as me, that's enough." Duan Chengxuan walked past Hong Xiao without even glancing at him. He was so shocked that Hong Xiao's eyes lit up as he quickly caught up to Duan Chengxuan and said with a smile, "Hong Xiao is willing to go through fire and water for your highness."
"For Cheng Yi and Cheng Er to protect Yan'Er, she would probably do many things just for the sake of creating her own momentum." As Duan Chengxuan spoke, the pupils of the officers beside him slightly constricted before they silently left to give orders. At the same time, the next command was followed by a report, "Leave another half of the people in defense. If the Third Prince's army takes a step forward, then get those generals to raise their heads and meet them."
Hong Xiao was slightly stunned at first, then he understood what Duan Chengxuan meant. "Do you think Duan Feng and Duan Chengrui are on the same side?"
"If that's not the case, why did the two of them join hands to push me into this place of internal strife, and now they want me to withstand the external enemy to weaken my army?" The corners of Duan Chengxuan's mouth were stretched taut, and the heavy saber in his hand actually changed directions. He laughed in a low voice. "An extremely clumsy and clumsy trick."
"A clumsy lie can also be a sharp weapon for deceiving."
Seeing that those eyes were no longer weak and malicious, only remaining fear and excitement, she only raised her mouth: "Everything I told you is real. Grasp this well, then Mu Qing will do his best to treat you well."
The two of them had only just left the restaurant when they parted ways with Gu Cheng.
Gu Danyan used the fear in her heart to pretend that she had fainted, but no one was able to identify this strange pulse. When she returned to the courtyard, she leisurely got up and sent Feng Zhu and Yue Qing to inform Duan Chengrui about this.
"Your mouth doesn't speak the truth at all …" Su Yuwan quietly took a step back.
The most frightening thing about this woman was that even though she knew that she had said different things to everyone else, they had all been in one place and could all be gathered together. Yet, it was so hard to believe that everything was real.
It was because she was speaking too earnestly, and all of this was well-founded. In fact, it was almost the same as what was written on the other half of the sheepskin scroll.
The Divine Wood was a rib, and the reason why she took out the rib was because of Nirvana Rebirth. The sheepskin scroll also mentioned the Red Dans, and Gu Dai Yan had previously said that the Blood Vine below the pool was similar to the Divine Wood in different ways. At the same time, Su Yu Wan personally saw her walk into the pit, and even though she stayed there for so long, there was nothing unusual about it.
She had seen with her own eyes that the truth was being grasped in Gu Danyan's hands!
"I'm telling you the truth." Gu Liuyan nodded seriously as before. She had no choice but to withdraw her hand and look out the window, "Are you not curious why Mu Qing loves you so much?"
"He just wanted to sacrifice me!" Su Yuwan couldn't help but growl.
Everything Mu Qing gave her was fake. From the start, Mu Qing wasn't one of them.
He had even made himself lose the ability to bear children! Even after Duan Chengxuan succeeded to the throne, how could she be a mother to the world?
Gu Danyan stared at the azure sky and laughed lowly, "You don't understand that Mu Qing Ai trumps all other things, but it's a pity that you don't understand."
"You clearly wanted to save me from Mu Qing, but now you want me to love that wild beast that wants to eat me?" Su Yu Wan looked at her warily. "Are you trying to take revenge for what I did back then …"
"I told you, I didn't lie to you." Gu Liuyan turned around. She had already seen two familiar figures walking over from the long corridor, leaning on the bed with listless eyes: "You can ask him whether he loves you. Even if I don't protect you, he definitely won't abandon you."
Su Yuwan wanted to say something, but she also saw the person not far away. She shut her mouth tightly and used her fingers to twist her clothes.
Feng Zhu and Yue Qing walked in, one after the other, as they said in a low voice, "The third prince will be back in a few days. I hope to know the contents of his visit."
"Fair deal, let me tell you the truth. He has to tell me what's going on outside first." Gu Danyan closed her eyes lightly: "Still, what is outside is something I cannot know."
The face of the porcelain seal changed.
Even if she could not see any small movements, she could always think of many things at once.
