C437 (1/2)

This was the first time that an official in the imperial court had seen someone who wasn't afraid of Duan Chengxuan.

After listening for a while, Duan Cong had a whole new level of respect for this Yun clan descendant. Although she couldn't compare to the Jing King on the battlefield, he knew the whole situation of the country like the back of his hand.

Duan Chengxuan didn't expect Yun Chen to leave in such a manner, so he only said, ”Since it's to pacify external disorder, you should give me some advice.”

”The battlefield is ever-changing, and the response is naturally a random one.” Gu Liuyan said in an indifferent tone.

Duan Chengxuan originally wanted to aggressively ask more, but in the end, he could see the change in Duan Cong's expression.

It could be said that Duan Cong held a whole new level of respect for this man called Yun Chen. She even looked at him with an expression of pleasant surprise, even more so than when she was looking at the Third Prince.

If he were to continue speaking, it would instead reveal his ambition.

When he thought up to this point, Duan Chengxuan finally shut his mouth and listened to the clouds and dust carefully analyze the situation of the border between Navy Tide and Jiang Yan, as well as the various countries. He actually understood the situation even better than the officials.

In fact, she didn't have much free time during her stay in Yinzhou. Thanks to the foreign merchants in Yinzhou, she also understood a lot of things. The people from the Wind Listening Pavilion all had things that could be bought by merchants from other places.

She talked nonstop for a long time, until none of the ministers dared to say anything.

The third prince's subordinates naturally agreed with Yun Chen's words. It was only when Yun Chen came to a stop that the Emperor, Duan Cong, finally spoke in a low voice, ”Since that's the case, you can leave with the third prince.”

The crowd burst into an uproar. This was outside of Gu Daiyan's expectations. He quickly cupped his hands and said, ”I'm afraid we still need Prince Jing to lead the charge. It seems like His Highness the third prince still wants to do something before the battle begins.”

What for? Duan Chengxuan and Duan Chengrui simultaneously thought of this.

However, Gu Mingyan's words had already come out, so Duan Chengrui could only brace himself and make a fool of himself in front of his father. When the next assembly, Gu Danyan even bravely walked out of the palace door alongside Duan Chengxuan.

Both sides were filled with Yu Lin Wei, so Duan Chengxuan stopped and stood with his hands behind his back. Even the thin winter sunlight was unable to wash away the coldness from his face, and his eyes were like deep pools of unfathomable water.

Gu Danyan also stopped in her tracks. Looking at the dark clouds in the sky, the cold winter wind cut her face like a knife. She raised her smile and said, ”You will regret not treating Gu Danyan well.”

”I'm already regretting it.” Duan Chengxuan's gaze landed on the side of Yun Chen's face as the winter wind blew and brought away the sparse sunlight. He watched as the next snow fell and their shoes and socks were drenched along the way. ”I didn't expect that the descendants of the Yun clan are not all doctors.”

”Prince Jing, on the battlefield in the future, I hope you can give me some pointers.” Gu Danyan's smile did not waver. His eyes did not have the slightest bit of warmth as he left first. The Third Prince had already been called to the imperial study.

The ministers who were following closely behind were discussing who the emperor was more interested in. It was obvious who he was more interested in now.

The first snow of the Sky Flame was strange and intermittent, like the strange movements of an enemy invading.

After taking down two cities, Jiang Yan no longer acted. Everything went on as usual, except for those small foreign tribes eyeing his covetously, while Gu Liuyan just quickly returned to the third prince's residence. The ghosts came over and covered her with a thick cloak, worried about her legs even more.
