"What is wrong with this woman!"

The ground was littered with the remains of the beaker, causing Duan Feng to be even more infuriated.

Previously, when he saw Gu Danyan in Sky Fire City, he only thought that this woman had quite an intelligent appearance, but the other pieces of the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting could not compare to the other girls. Even his friend Qi Rou was a maverick.

But now …

"How could Gu Cheng possibly want me to hold her steady and not talk too much? However, we've only spoken a few sentences in total, and yet she has instead overtaken us. Where did this ability come from?" Duan Feng slammed the table with a loud bang. "You said that he mentioned the Black Wind before. That was just a horse, what's the meaning of that?"

"If that's the case, I'm afraid it's just to get the hang of it." Eunuch Wu's face was cold. Seeing that Duan Feng's eyebrows could even squish a fly, he hurriedly said, "But she also said that if we don't get the antidote within three days, then his life will be gone. Should we try using this Muqing first?"

"Absolutely not." Duan Feng slapped the table and stood up with a furious gaze. "This Gu Mingyan isn't easy to deal with, and now that Mu Qing's lover is in Duan Chengxuan's hands, if she were to borrow Mu Qing's hand and do something to him, how would you and I not understand medical techniques?"

Although Duan Feng was impulsive, she wasn't a fool. She only looked at the paralyzed man and said, "Since Gu Cheng has the ability to trap Gu Lai Yan, then get him to think of a way to bring Duan Chenrui back to Sky Flame City. I'll take her to the Fallen Water Pass as well."

"Alright." The paralyzed man hurried away.

At the same time, Duan Feng felt more and more that Gu Mingyan was a hot potato. No matter how good-looking or special she was, she was at most a hot potato that would double the trouble, but for his future career, he could only place her hopes on Gu Xiangyan alone — after all, she was the only one who was close to the truth of the mystery of longevity.

Duan Cheng Xuan and her other three subordinates returned to the army camp.

Before he could confirm that Gu Danyan was really headed for the Fallen Water Barrier, Hong Xiao rushed over, panting heavily, "Your Highness, you've finally returned! "Miss Qi is leading Prince Zong Ping and Cheng Shan into a quarrel in the dungeon!"

Duan Cheng Xuan tore off the human skin mask on her face. "Why?"

Cheng Shan had secretly thrown Yue Qing and Su Yuwan into the dungeon himself. This morning, he should have kidnapped two captives and interrogated them, but who knew that the few mounted gangsters that were imprisoned earlier would seize the opportunity to rush out. Miss Qi was shocked, while Prince Zong Ping himself sent several mounted gangsters back to the dungeon. Hong Xiao spoke until he was out of breath and quickly brought Duan Chengxuan to the dungeon, "After that, King Zong Ping will bring the two of them away, Chengshan said it was your wish, so you are not allowed to do it!"

"When did This King say that I was going to imprison the two of them in the dungeon?"

Duan Chengxuan's clearly defined face tensed up, as he didn't know the reason behind Cheng Shan's actions.

After detaining Yue Qing and Su Yu Wan, he then put Gu Ming Yan back to Duan Chengrui's side, just to show that he wanted to cooperate, and it was more like a business deal. At the same time, Su Yu Wan was also a condition that was attached to the mystery of longevity, as long as Mu Qing still had one-sided desires towards Su Yu Wan, then Mu Qing would be controlled by Su Yu Wan and wouldn't speak the truth.

In this way, from cooperation in the matters of the court and government to cooperation in the mystery of longevity, he and Duan Chengrui were evenly divided.

When she had enough information, no matter what she encountered, she would always be in a high position because of the value of this information. Unless there was someone who didn't want to know the method of immortality.

However, why would Cheng Shan care so much about Su Yuwan and Yue Qing?

Arriving at the entrance to the dungeon, Duan Chengxuan's expression turned completely cold.

Even though Cheng Shan and Duan Chengyu and Qi Rou were arguing, outside the dungeon entrance, even Ruo Li and Sang Ning were in a standoff, not allowing anyone to leave. They were taciturn but also full of hostility towards each other. When they saw Duan Chengxuan, the two of them respectfully bowed. "Your Highness."

"Sanning, when did I say I was going to imprison Yue Qing and Su Yuwan?" Duan Cheng Xuan stopped in his tracks and asked without looking sideways. He wanted to raise his voice to the point that it would be enough to make all the arguments in the dungeon stop as well.

Sang Ning let out a cold laugh, "I know that you didn't give the order, but since it's an urgent matter, I think it's necessary for you to know about it. Not only are there Su Yuwan and Yue Qing, even Miss Gu Zi Wu was brought here, you can listen to their explanations."

Hong Xiao wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead. He even wanted to return to the border as soon as possible and leave these filthy things be. It was simply a matter of time before things settled down.

Duan Chengxuan didn't bother with these matters anymore. Since Cheng Shan and Sang Ning were on the same side, perhaps Yu'er and Qi Rou were going too far this time.

However, when he arrived below, he saw that Yue Qing, who should have been in the prison, had been released, while Gu Zixian and Su Yu Wan were pressed down on either side of the prison. It was as if the two of them were in a fight, and when Yue Qing saw him, she stealthily took a step back and impatiently bowed.

"What happened?" Duan Cheng Xuan only spoke to Cheng Shan.

"His Highness had obtained two water maps from Gu Zixian, and according to this subordinate's knowledge, Su Yu Wan has already become one of his subordinates. I suspect that Your Highness has ulterior motives, so I decided to confine Su Yu Wan and Yue Qing here." Cheng Shan bowed, and when he spoke of the water map, he gave Gu Zixian an extra glance.

Gu Danyan actually had the ability to make his former rival hand it over. He was truly worthy of the word 'demoness'.

Qi Rou and Duan Chengyu had obviously heard Cheng Shan's excuse, but at this moment, Duan Chengxuan was silent. Qi Rou took a step forward and said, "From the looks of it, it seems like this isn't the intention of the Jing King, and if you don't believe Gu Pingyan, why didn't you say so when she was here, and waited for me and Zong Ping to unintentionally find out, then you revealed the truth, you have ulterior motives, don't you think that it should be you?"

With this, Hong Xiao was about to step forward when Sang Ning raised his hand to stop him, shaking his head helplessly.

Even though they trusted Cheng Shan as brothers, and even Duan Chengxuan was already used to his advice, but it was precisely because of this that if something happened to someone he was close to, then it would be unmanageable.

At this moment, Duan Chengxuan was even more confused. He asked Gu Zixian and Su Yu Wan, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

"Since I was the one who brought the water map, I naturally have the authority to decide whether it stays or leaves." Gu Zixian was planning to grit his teeth. After all, at this moment, she was only able to tell Gu Danyan the truth because she had a way of detoxifying the poison, but the Duan Chengxuan in front of her was just a useless enemy to her. Naturally, she had no reason to tell the enemy about Gu Sheng's weak point — not to mention that Gu Liuyan did not mention this when he left, which was enough to prove her sincerity.

Su Yu Wan bit her lips and lowered her head without saying a word. Currently, Gu Qing Yan and her were used as chess pieces, so these men couldn't believe a single one of them.

After being silent for a long while, Duan Chengxuan felt even more troubled. "Since it's like this, there's no need to stay in this dungeon. Bring everyone to this duke's tent and properly interrogate them. At the end of the day, there has to be a reason."
