The day had just dawned, and the sounds of soldiers training in the military field had also become louder.

Qi Rou woke up and called for her servant, but only the well-dressed Gu Pingyan came over with clothes. She rubbed her eyes in confusion and asked, "When did you get up?"

"Four hours ago, I didn't sleep much." Gu Danyan was dressed in heavy clothes as he smiled and said: "I'll go to the kitchen to get some breakfast. You should change your clothes, I will tell them not to come in."

Gu Liu Yan came and went in a hurry. Qi Rou was not in her right mind yet. She could only change her clothes in a daze and wait for Gu Danyan to bring her breakfast.

Gu Ming Yan said that he was going to the kitchen, but halfway through, she called the soldiers to go get breakfast, while she walked towards Duan Chengxuan's tent. She had some things that she needed to tell Duan Chengxuan, and if they were to wait for General Duan's men to come over later, everything would be difficult to settle.

This time, just as she reached the Commander's tent, the curtain in front of her was pulled open.

Dressed in a black robe, Duan Chengxuan and Gu Danyan faced each other in the early morning, and the expression on that cold face had become much gentler: "It's still early."

"Only to have something to say to you." She had woken up from her dream last night, but she couldn't remember what it was.

This was not a good sign at all.

Seeing her conflicted expression, Duan Cheng Xuan ordered the guard at the entrance to bring the person back for breakfast with one hand. He then led the person back to the warm tent. "What happened?"

"Nothing happened. I just thought of something yesterday." Gu Danyan sat on the bed and looked at Duan Cheng Xuan squatting in front of him. She looked somewhat similar to the puppy outside, and couldn't help but laugh out loud before saying, "I just feel that if the person behind this is Gu Cheng, then he's hidden so well under the various princes' banner all these years. He might not be trying to ascend to the heavens in one step and become the Emperor."

Duan Chengxuan's mind started working as he looked into Gu Daiyan's eyes that held a smile in them, then he thought carefully, "Who do you think Gu Cheng is stalling for time for?"

"It could be that he is waiting for some prince to grow up, or he is waiting for an opportunity to come. For example, the matter of life and death now, or he is aiming at the current chaotic situation." While Gu Liuyan was still analyzing, Duan Chengxuan had already heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside the tent.

A moment later, Cheng Shan came in respectfully: "The people sent by the Ninth Prince have arrived, I hope that His Highness and Your Highness are prepared."

"He actually came in such a hurry." Gu Liuyan clicked her tongue. She was feeling extremely anxious in this chaotic situation. It was as if the compass in her hand had suddenly failed. She was faced with an endless sea.

Gu Liuyan would often get anxious because of some small matters, but Duan Chengxuan rarely showed her impatience, so he could only pull his up: "Once I return to the Sky Flame, I'll know everything."

Being pulled by Duan Chengxuan, Gu Pingyan stared at him in a daze. "When did you become so reliable?"

"When was This King unreliable?" Duan Chengxuan revealed a slightly angry expression. After telling Gu Pingyan to obediently shut up, he naturally changed his appearance properly and followed closely behind him while disguised as an attendant like before.

This time, not only was there Eunuch Wu, there was also a cold-faced man standing beside him. However, when Gu Mingyan looked carefully, she discovered that this man was completely paralyzed. The curve of her mouth was extremely unnatural.

"No need to be so respectful." Gu Liuyan waved his hand.

However, the paralyzed man only stiffened before opening his mouth again. "I wonder if Duke Jing …"

"Duke Jing has something he needs to attend to, so I'll be fine. However, you all must remember to greet Duan Chengrui. Otherwise, I won't be able to guarantee anything, especially the life of your family's master." Gu Danyan directly sat down and yawned lazily, the silver ring on his wrist making a slight sound.

The man's face contorted a few times, but Gu Daiyan didn't say anything more and just let him carry him onto the carriage.

When Eunuch Wu followed behind, he also quickly took a few extra glances. Mu Qing, on the other hand, naturally sat in the horse carriage with Gu Daiyan. The paralyzed man directly lifted the carriage curtain and said, "Who the hell are you?"

The men under General Duan really knew how to change their faces.

Mu Qing's expression was extremely ugly. However, Gu Pingyan chuckled and said: "My body is not feeling well. If I were to faint, there would be someone waiting on me."

"I heard that Your Highness has another disciple here."

You should know that my disciple was prepared for King Jing in the first place, so how could I take him away? You don't need to say anything. Just let me tell your master what you want. Gu Liuyan said a lot, but she wasn't afraid of making a lot of mistakes.

On the contrary, the paralyzed man's face twitched unnaturally, especially when he heard the last sentence.

Since that was the case, Eunuch Wu quickly sent his men out. He glanced at the four men behind Gu Danyan who looked like they wanted to follow the carriage. Since he couldn't stop them and was afraid of provoking Gu Danyan, he could only give up.

The journey would take at least a day and a night. Gu Mingyan saw Mu Qing staring at him and said, "I have to keep Su Yuwan and Yue Qing at Duan Chengxuan's command. There's nothing I can do about it."

"If you're able to say a few words, then Wan'er will be able to follow me over. Leaving the person by Duan Chengxuan's side like this, could it be that you're on guard against me and the Third Prince?" A look of disgust appeared on Mu Qing's bookish face. He just wanted to kill Gu Liuyan with his eye knife.

Even if Mu Qing was alone in the carriage, so what? She only leaned on the cushions of the carriage, found some candied fruits from the cabinets in the carriage to hold, and sneered: "This is the journey to Duan Feng's side, you speaking to me in such a manner, that's the true fearless way. If I'm not wary of you and Duan Chenrui, do I have to be wary of my son's father?"

These words entered Duan Chengxuan's ears, but unfortunately, he was currently changing his appearance and couldn't casually smile.

Seeing Mu Qing's ashen face, Gu Danyan didn't know if he guessed right or wrong, but he still had to be careful. On the other hand, the pastries in his hands were very sweet and considerate, but it didn't seem to be Duan Feng's handiwork.

By the time he woke up on the second day, his ears had been extremely quiet, and even the sounds of birds had lessened a lot. Not only did Mu Qing disappear, when she pulled open the carriage's curtain, Eunuch Wu, who was driving the carriage, started laughing: "That Mu Qing isn't a good person, I have already tied him up and brought him away. Your highness, there is no need to worry."

Gu Liuyan pretended to raise his eyebrows, but he was actually sizing up the empty city. He smiled and said: "I only care about my four loyal subordinates now."
