The place to eat was just a tree stump outside the camp.

Even though there weren't enough people in the kitchen to hire some nearby kitchen workers, there were very few people who could come and go freely in the army camp. Duan Chengxuan didn't trouble the soldiers who were eating, and he still carried his food box as he confidently walked with Gu Ruoyun.

Those gazes made Gu Liuyan feel a bit embarrassed. He asked in a low voice: "You don't care about their gazes?"

"When did you ever pay attention to other people's gazes?" As Duan Chengxuan spoke like this, his words even carrying a trace of a smile, and he only pulled her a little tighter. "Since this is the last battle between the two of us, you can let me handle it this time."

Gu Danyan thought of the things that he had done on his own, and scratched his cheek guiltily: "If mother knew what I did now, I wonder how she would punish me."

"I will send a letter every few days, so mother will naturally not worry about you." Duan Chengxuan's face turned cold when he saw the few generals that were rushing over.

However, Gu Danyan smiled at those who knew her identity. He tightened his grip on Duan Cheng Xuan's hand and said, "Didn't you trust me quite a bit?"

"Believing is one thing. After all, listening to you do those things makes me nervous."

"Forget it, after all, you are still worried about me. However, in terms of nature, you are not any worse than me. Back then in Sky Fire City, whenever you called a few singers or dancers, they all wanted nothing more than to tear you apart and feed you to them." Gu Danyan snorted out a syllable from his nose, and he even looked at Duan Chenxuan's overly handsome face in dissatisfaction.

If Duan Chengxuan was a woman, even the men and women of the city would have to kneel under his skirt.

Fortunately, Duan Chengxuan didn't know what she was thinking and instead smiled. "That isn't as capable as you. The man by your side is indeed the most capable."

"Of course. If not, seeing that I have a buddha like you by my side, even if those ordinary men had the guts to come over, they would still be afraid that if I had you, they would look down on me. Why would they come up against me?" Gu Liuyan teased.

This way, it was actually because of him that the man Gu Tinyan recruited was so talented.

After saying so much, Duan Chengxuan was actually more at ease.

Gu Liuyan did not have much obsession with anything in her life. She could remember the matters of dust, and she could also remember the important matters of military affairs. If she wanted to hear these heartfelt words from her mouth, it was very rare.

The tree stump was not high, so Gu Pingyan sat down cross-legged and casually took out all of the food inside. It wasn't some delicious food, it was just a dish cooked by the kitchen staff in a huge pot with very little oil and water. Gu Pingyan also ate comfortably as he said, "Why don't we talk about the conditions after this?"

"During the meal time, let's temporarily not talk about those things." Duan Chengxuan picked out a few pieces of meat and placed them into her bowl, then he said, "That day regarding Imperial Palace's Imperial Consort Huaifei …"

"It was merely a trick of Duan Chengrui to separate the two of us. At that time, I was only playing the wrong part and it just so happened that this marriage was broken off. With that, Duan Chengrui will definitely lose quite a bit of support, and those people with wolf ambitions will also show themselves." As Gu Danyan spoke, he lazily placed one of his hands on the table, "I thought that the matter of immortality had nothing to do with the Imperial Court, but now it doesn't seem so."

"Indeed, that is not the case. The matter of the Fallen Water Barrier has been concealed too well. Not a single one of the officials from the imperial government mentioned this matter. It is rather strange." Duan Cheng Xuan nodded, then poured another bowl of soup for her and placed it by her side, going into detail.

"What else do you know?"

"Duan Feng is only a puppet of Duan Chengrui, but she is currently besieged here. I don't know if it's because Duan Feng did not easily reveal an opening, or if Duan Chengrui is manipulating us to deliberately reveal an opening, hoping that we can attack him several times." As Duan Cheng Xuan spoke, she explained the situation from before in even greater detail.

It should have been a passive situation, but Duan Chengxuan's subordinates had stopped two of the food squads at Duan Feng's border. Not only that, quite a number of Ai Yan's friends were taken care of by Duan Ling Tian as well, however, they didn't encounter any major problems during this half a month.

Listening like this, Gu Mingyan held her chin with one hand: "In that case, not only are you and Duan Chengrui at loggerheads, there might be another person behind this incident, or perhaps it's that prince? Furthermore, I found out on the way that the Emperor wanted to make the Dongfang Family his new concubine, but since Fourteenth Prince and Little Princess are only a few years old, there's no need to care about them.

"I'm sending people to investigate this." As Duan Cheng Xuan said this, her gaze swept across the thin cloth on Gu Xuan's wrist. "You're injured?"

"I took some blood, hoping that Liang Shan would help me deal with this. I don't want to live my entire life by eating poison. I'd better let someone else do the immortal work for me." After Gu Daiyan finished speaking, she ate the food in her hands like a tornado. After that, she sat quietly beside Duan Chengxuan to accompany him, but in her heart, she thought of Yi Ze and Qing Ze.

According to Duan Chengxuan's thoughts, it was probably not even Qing Ze who had sent the pill over as well.

Just when her thoughts were running wild, a Vice General from within the army camp rushed over and half-knelt in front of Duan Chengxuan. He glanced at Gu Daiyan and intentionally raised his voice, "Ninth Prince, your highness wishes to head to the city for a negotiation three days from now and requests you to bring this … "Your majesty."

Many soldiers heard his words and looked over.

What did the negotiations between Duan Feng and Duan Chengxuan have to do with her?

Gu Liuyan was confused, but she felt around on the tree stump with her slender fingers and looked up at the deputy general: "You don't have to be so loud, I know you guys don't trust me. I'll go and have a talk with them in three days."

"Together." Duan Chengxuan raised his hand and held onto the hand that already had wood shavings on it, then he raised his eyebrows. "I just happen to know what this Duan Feng wants to do."

"Your Highness! "If something were to happen to you..."

"If anything happens to you, the whole family will die with you." Gu Liuyan interrupted the Lieutenant General, and only took out one of his hands and placed it lazily on his knee. He said seriously: "Relying on my relationship with you and Duan Chenrui, as well as my identity and status, I believe that Duan Feng will not act rashly."

"If he is the one behind this, then what he wants might be you." From start to finish, Duan Chengxuan grabbed the wrist that she wanted to flee from.

"If his goal is me, then I don't need to worry." Gu Liuyan patted the back of his hand soothingly: "Compared to that, I want to keep Su Yuwan by your side to take care of her. When the time comes, I'll just need Mu Qing and the others to follow me."

Duan Chengxuan was silent for a moment before letting out a heavy sigh. "Have you started your revenge?"

"Of course." Gu Danyan spoke lightly, but his eyes became serious: "Within three days, we have to agree on the terms."
