C443 (1/2)

The two of them returned to the dilapidated house in the dark. This time, because of the pain in their legs, Gu Danyan fell asleep early.

Duan Chengxuan instead leaned on the side of the bed and gazed at Yun Chen's sleeping face, feeling that the two of them were becoming more and more similar.

He extended his hand out to touch Yun Chen's cheek, only to see him suddenly opening his eyes. Duan Chengxuan retracted his hand in shock as he thought of his own magic barrier.

He woke up from his sleep and patted his head with a headache. He raised his hand: ”Where's my cotton bag?”

Silence.

After a long time, she noticed that she wasn't by Phantom Demon's side, and Duan Chengxuan was staring straight at him.

This point was completely different from Gu Daiyan. Other than dressing up, Gu Daiyan would usually do it himself.

Unaware that her unconscious actions had dispelled the bad intentions in Duan Cheng Xuan's heart, Gu Xuan retracted her hand in embarrassment. She hurriedly apologized and then lay back down, feeling the damp smell enter her nose. Only then did she feel slightly better.

”Right.” Duan Cheng Xuan nodded and laid down in her clothes as well.

Just like that, a night passed by, and at noon on the second day, Duan Chengrui's soldiers brought their men out of the dense forest. Duan Chengxuan and Gu Danyan concealed the matter regarding the tombstone.

Perhaps that monarch was an unconscious monarch, but he had already died on the battlefield. This peace that did not enter the imperial mausoleum was best grasped for him.

One of the soldiers rushed over and placed the heavy and dry cloak on Gu Liuyan's shoulder. He whispered: ”Your Highness is very worried about you. Please follow us.”

Meanwhile, on the other side, Cheng Shan had also quickly walked over to Duan Chengxuan's side. ”Third Prince has already left for Jiang Yan's side after suddenly attacking the city.”

”Idiot, he's just a prince who talks about military matters on paper!” Duan Chengxuan angrily strode forward, even instructing a group of people to immediately cut off the other party's rations after the poison mist in the gutter was resolved.

Gu Liuyan wanted to follow, but the two soldiers stopped her forcefully.

Yue Qing revealed half of her face beneath the human skin mask. ”Your Highness forbids you from being alone with the Jing King in the future.”

”Public or private?” Gu Liuyan was furious. Now that the war was imminent, she couldn't possibly be escorted back to the camp.

”Public or private.” Yue Qing emphasized on her words.

Gu Danyan had no choice but to be sent to a safe place in the carriage. He and a few deputy generals were either preparing to evacuate or to stand in front of a safe place.

The ghost pulled her back into the tent along the way, wrapping layer after layer of cotton bags around her knees and calves. Although it was a bit bulky, it couldn't be seen as long as she wore a cloak.

”You followed him for a few days. The Third Prince is about to go crazy.” The ghost said in a low voice.

”This is abnormal.” Gu Liuyan felt a headache coming on. He didn't know if Duan Chengrui had taken a fancy to his talent or if it was because of him.

Phantom also shook his head, while the two of them were talking, the curtain was suddenly pulled open.

Yue Qing, dressed in the uniform of a soldier, walked in with a darkened face. ”We're going to another city.”

”What happened?”

”King Jing used the fact that Her Highness has never been to the battlefield as a reason to force him to defend the city and even let him investigate the situation of the city's officials. It's clear that he doesn't want Her Highness to receive any contribution.” Yue Qing said angrily, but her orders were like a mountain, she could only help Gu Mingyan pack her luggage.

Duan Chengxuan would definitely not easily hand over the military power in his hands to Duan Chengrui.

The next city that he was going to was either peaceful or dangerous, and Duan Chengxuan would definitely not provide assistance in time.

Gu Liuyan was a little worried. It could be seen that Yue Qing was only worried about the Third Prince's achievements. She could only keep her mouth shut and cast a meaningful glance at ghosts, telling him to think of a way to pass on another message to the Wind Listening Pavilion.
