C708 (1/2)
The people in the forest walked back to the clearing.
Feng Yue took off the black cloth on her face, and a faint smile appeared on her face from beginning to end. ”Your Highness is truly amazing. After walking this long and leisurely journey, you actually noticed that we've come here before.”
”But how did she find out?” The subordinate behind him was extremely dissatisfied.
”I'm different from Feng Zhu. If you continue to ask me about anything related to His Highness, I won't let you off lightly.” Feng Yue's tone was slightly raised, and it carried a bit of a threat.
The two sisters had only changed positions to let a smiling face man like her solve the problem of the unity of the Black Cloaked Army at the border. Since the problem of their unity had appeared on Gu Danyan, she naturally decided to bring along people to protect them, and to find the traitor to cause trouble and then kill him.
However, she was also curious as to how His Highness had discovered her.
When they left on the second day, they received a second letter. This time, it was Duan Chenxuan who opened the letter, and while Gu Daiyan was still slowly changing clothes, he spoke: ”Someone wishes for Prince Zongping to return to the feudal fiefdom.”
”So it turns out that Duan Chengrui's goal is here.” Gu Danyan grabbed his outer garment from the bed and continued, ”When he was with Prince Zong previously, he was probably discovered by the people. After he was removed from the imperial court, the situation became very clear.”
”The fight between the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince is at the top of the imperial court, while the fight between this King and the Ninth Prince, Duan Feng, is at the border.” Duan Chengxuan folded the letter. ”If Duan Feng and Duan Chengrui stand at the side, then Duan Chengrui's victory is already in his hands.”
These words were met with a sneer from Gu Daiyan.
Duan Chengxuan raised his head to look at her, and he saw her two slender fingers nimbly sweeping through the gaps of her clothes, smoothing the hem of his outer garment, yet his head was slightly raised. His eyes reflected the dried leaves outside the window, and his voice was also gentle as he said, ”Duan Cheng only has military power, so without the support of the Fourth Prince and Concubine Xian's mother in the imperial court, how would he be able to be on par with Duan Chengrui?”
”Do you know that he had a secret deal with the fourth prince?” A trace of a smile appeared on the corners of Duan Cheng Xuan's mouth. He walked up to Gu Xuan when he was feeling for his belt and tied it for her, then carefully cut across her lower abdomen and said in a low voice, ”Compared to Yu'er, Duan Chengye will be even more bold in the imperial court.”
”So who sent you the information?” Gu Liuyan opened her arms and let him do what he wanted.
From time to time, Duan Chengxuan's hair would brush past the tip of Gu Liuyan's chin, but his hands that held a weapon were nimbly and tidily arranging everything for her. He even tied up her long hair and said, ”Yu'er.”
”The person I'm contacting is Qi Rou.”
As Gu Liuyan spoke, Duan Chengxuan's hand movements also slightly paused.
”So, the two of them didn't send any message to us?” This time, Duan Chengxuan was slightly astonished. In his impression, even though Qi Rou was slightly different from other girls, she would still sympathize with others and share information with them.
Gu Danyan was also quite surprised: ”If Qi Rou had not said so, I would have felt that it would have been reasonable. However, the Fourth Prince is not a person who keeps his mouth shut.”
After a moment of silence, both of them burst out laughing.
If that was the case, then in the end, there were still partners in this world that hid their own businesses and thoughts.
The relationship between her and Duan Chengxuan was no longer unusual.
When noon arrived, they started their journey again, preparing to walk from the Water Pass all the way to the vicinity of Sky Flame City. It would be best if they could meet face to face with Duan Chengrui in the imperial court.
