Chen Qing Xu muttered, “Impossible, then it is the blood?… Did I make an error in my assessment?”

When Gu Yun was still in the Northwest Frontier at the beginning of the year, the whole country of Great Liang was engulfed in gloo at any moment
But this year, the whole country was reborn with incredible vitality Even though grand banquets and dancing of the past could no longer be seen, the children queuing on the streets to buy candy have put on their new clothes one after another During the day, the sound of firecrackers could someti the New Year’s goods
The collapsed city as rebuilt again, and the anti air net on Qi Ming Altar broadened its stern sight The Baihong bows and silent iron puppets on the atched the unexpected visitors enter the city The Northern Camp accompanied them stopped outside the Nine Gates in a clean and orderly manner The absolute silence seemed to be the essence, vitality, and spirit that had been honed through blood and fire
With this year’sthe country back to life alone, in the future, history books would not lack Yan wang‘s nae drove slowly through the long street The cold wind raised the corner of the curtain, revealing a thin and pale face, but a hand immediately pulled the curtain down and blocked both sides fro in casual clothing on the wangnan Toith a liuli glass on his nose — it was not the one he usually used for eency when blinded, but a kind of Qian Li Yan for long-distance targeting on the battlefield
Chang Geng and Shen Yi were all present A ure flashed in It was Cao Chun Hua who had disappeared into bei
Cao Chun Hua entered the room and paid simple courtesy then sat down “I’ was accusto it ine Cao Chun Hua took it without blushi+ng or panting and drank it dry If so cold water Gu Yun, a drunkard, stared ide eyes and felt like he had met a wine bottle in a huhed co back to the North since I separated from Marshal at the capital city… there ind, snow, and rain on the journey, I have endured plenty”
Cao Chun Hua had possessed great talent in disguise since he was a child, learning foreign languages by ears, taking only half ato the border of Northern Frontier for a long time to keep watch, only when he needed a perfect double to travel to Jiangbei for investigation did he call him back
Cao Chun Hua took the second bowl of wine and threw a flirtatious eye at Gu Yun who looked as if he was craving for wine, and successfully evoked Gu Yun’s unforgettablehis waist and hip while wearing Chang Geng’s face’
Gu Yun silently patted off the goosebumps on his body and turned his eyes aith an ashen face
Chang Geng: “How did you become this worn down?”
“Don’tall the et close to the on the ground again and again”
Cao Chun Hua said softly and delicately with a flowery voice, “To tell the gentlemen the truth, when I was in Northern Frontier, I once sneaked into the rank of Jia Lai Ying Huo’s guards, even pretended to be the female slave the Second Prince favored the ht without being discovered, but for more than a year, I could never approach the Third Prince, even his appearance could not be seen”
Chang Geng asked, “Can’t even take a look frooes out at all The Eighteen Tribes said that the Third Prince is gravely ill and could not go out to the wind,” Cao Chun Hua sighed “Aside fro Huo himself, others could not even see a hair of hihteen Tribes He lived inside three layers of guards I tried to mix into the outer layer, it was successful, but the second layer is already no good, the people inside resembled iron puppets, they do not communicate, but they are all top tier masters and even suicide soldiers to boost I tried several ways, but it was all for naught, even alhness see the envoy acco them?”
Everyone looked towards the direction where Cao Chun Hua’s chopsticks were pointed, just to see a uard He was ordinary in appearance, but there was a vague unspeakable aura on his body, as robust and sturdy as a uard captain of Jia Lai and one of his nize the wrong person”
Several of the people present were surprised
Shen Yi frowned and said, “If that’s the case, General Cai’s news is not necessarily accurate The usurper of the throneon a play of disorder to show us Perhaps the hostage they sent this ti to use a vile trick”
Gu Yun did not say a word Suddenly, he felt very uneasy
In the ongoing war between the two countries, it was conceivable that the arrival of this group of hostage and envoys would not receive any courtesy The Third Prince and his party did not even have one decent person to welcoqi Te on the situation’ The officer of Hongqi Te of the ruler and placed the barbarian hostage in an envoy’s post and left them be On the day of residence, the city’s internal defense was renewed The newly formed Imperial Army surrounded the post station by three layers inside and outside, changing shi+fts half an hour and patrolling twelve ti seee andbecah fever with just a bit of cold wind fro practiced ood health He was in his twenties, logically, even if the as any stronger, it would not be able to affect hi on that day, his fever was fierce When Gu Yun rushed back fro had already taken thered from the fever
Gu Yun checked his forehead and laid down on one side still in his full clothes Whether he returned ho always occupied only half of the bed, and even with the disturbing night posture was very orderly and he never rolled around
Afraid that Chang Geng’s fever would burn higher at night, Gu Yun did not dare fall into a deep sleep, he woke up immediately whenever the person on the next pillowGeng’s body was as hot as charcoal, his breathing was also erratic
Chang Geng being disturbed by nightmares was a normal occurrence Gu Yun was used to the hi as he reached out and held hi, it was probably due to illness, Chang Geng’s face suddenly appeared painful Instinctively, he grasped Gu Yun’s wrist and closed his fingers tightly He involuntarily let out a grunt, unable to wake up no matter hoas called
Gu Yun had to reach out and take a silver needle fro at the head of the bed He pressed Chang Geng down and pinch hi shi+vered then woke up
Gu Yun’s pupil shrank slightly — double pupils
However, compared with the chaos of the last Bone of I obviously restrained himself a lot more, there was no frantic movement He only looked at Gu Yun in a daze, the rihtly red
Gu Yun called out to hinizeblinked quickly, a drop of cold sweat rolled down his eyelashes He said in a hoarse voice, “How co this sentence, the pupils in his eyes slowly radually disappeared, as if everything was only Gu Yun’s iination Gu Yun kissed him, wiped his sweat and coaxed him back to sleep In the end, he was still not at ease The next , he sent someone to the palace to take a sick leave and went to find Chen Qing Xu
“It’s alright,” said Miss Chen after the check up, she diagnosed, “His Highness is in good health, but the weather has changed a little recently, he only caught a bit of cold wind It will be alright after taking the hed and said, “I said so as well, but he didn’t believeMiss Chen for a trip here”
Although Miss Chen was polite as usual, she truly didn’t want to look at the triuer Even a bride who had just given birth to her first child would not be as happy as he was
Miss Chen could no longer bear it and bid farewell to the two, Gu Yun personally saw her off As they passed the cold corridor of the manor, Gu Yun suddenly whispered, “The reason I invited Miss Chen here today was not to check a cold When he had a high fever last night, his double pupils suddenly reappeared, I’ Xu immediately turned serious and frowned, “Marquis, please tell me more in details”
Gu Yun described the scene of the sudden attack then i and asked, “What do you think about this situation?”
