”Your Highness, Crown Prince Erdan has personally come to visit you.”

Cheng Shan walked into Duan Chengxuan's tent at the right time to report to him.

All the officers turned to look at Duan Chengxuan. Crown Prince Zhaoxuan's position was extremely high, and now that he was here when they were making their move, he definitely wasn't here to investigate the military situation, but was instead here to discuss important matters.

Duan Chengxuan placed his hands on the table and slightly leaned forward. ”Continue to discuss this matter. Then, thoroughly investigate the people at the border. If you don't even have this bit of ability, how will you serve Prince Zong in the future?”

Everyone lowered their heads. They only told the group of them that they only knew how to talk about military matters on paper while the city patrol officers talked about military matters. Along the way, they would be scolded by Duan Chengxuan almost every day.

Almost all of Yu'er's generals were scarecrows, and in addition to that, he was always frustrated when he thought about Su Yuwan and Gu Danyan. Now that he found out that Crown Prince Erdan had personally come to visit, he could only brace himself and accept the mess that Gu Danyan had thrown down.

”If you can't come all the way back, then you can't blame me for attacking.”

After venting the dissatisfaction in his heart in a low voice, Duan Chengxuan organized himself and headed to the tent.

Qu Hao was not a martial artist, instead, he came here today wearing the deep blue uniform of the imperial family. His big round eyes looked harmless, but when he opened his mouth, he spoke in a deep voice, ”You and I will first talk about private matters and then talk about official matters. Is that alright?”

The surrounding generals couldn't help but turn to look at Duan Chengxuan. Only after seeing him nod his head in agreement did they leave.

However, many people couldn't help but whisper amongst themselves. What sort of personal matter could a dignified Crown Prince Cang Lan Jing and Erdan Bei possibly have?

”I know that my sister's methods are different from others', and I prefer to put myself in danger. However, I never expected that when it comes to personal matters, she would choose a man like you to reunite with her.”

Qu Hao put down the cup in his hand as his eyes sharpened.

”I feel ashamed for her. I will repay her for the rest of my life.” Duan Chengxuan's expression didn't change, and he only frowned at the same time. ”I also don't understand, since you've called her elder sister, but you've pushed her to the edge as well. The current situation of Jiang Yan isn't clear, but she's in the palm of her hand. Could it be that there's some news in your hands?”

”Even though he said those words, you … don't you think you have a chance at victory?” At this moment, Qu Hao also raised his eyebrows slightly.

Duan Chengxuan felt that something was slightly wrong. ”Does she need all of you to help her?”

”Before she left, she wrote a letter to ask me to recognize Su Yuwan as True Princess Erdan. She said that she did not seek any help because you were behind her. I don't know much else.” At this moment, Qu Hao had already clenched his fists tightly. Noticing the change in Duan Chengxuan's expression, he asked, ”Could it be that you don't know anything as well …”

”She only said that she would take one step at a time. She said that she would adapt as she pleased, and even more so, she said that she had ghosts to protect her.”

”Phantom is by my side.” At this moment, Qu Hao's face had already darkened. With a wave of his hand, he changed into a servant's clothes and walked into the room.

Noticing their serious expressions, Gui Gui frowned slightly and asked, ”What happened?”

”Why didn't you go with him to Jiang Yan?” Duan Cheng Xuan wished she could break the armrest in her hands.

”She has a way to protect her life in Gu Cheng's hands, as well as your secret guards in the dark. In a few more days, I might go to Jiang Yan in the name of Dan's envoy. Naturally, there's no need to worry.”

Seeing how the ghost was speaking so calmly, Qu Hao seemed as if he had thought of something. He held his forehead and said, ”I should have known earlier. These two people didn't know that their trip would cause my parents to worry.”

”When you were by her side, did you let her go like this?” At this moment, Duan Chengxuan could only wish for nothing more than to burn the bones and scatter the ashes. Yet, the latter still had a strange expression on his face. ”This is something she wants to do, not to mention that I naturally won't put him in danger. Why are all of you so worried?”
