”Your Highness, the Third Prince left His Highness by himself in the town by the lake. He has already personally brought people to punish the corrupt officials. However, we were unable to find his whereabouts even after he sent out nearly two hundred spies.” Cheng Shan walked over, and his gaze landed on Gu Zixian who was not far away.
If it wasn't for Hong Xiao saying that this place was the safest place in the entire army camp, Duan Chengxuan wouldn't have kept it under his nose all day, but he also requested her to not take a step near the table. There were two other trusted aides guarding the tent, and Gu Zi was always restless sitting here every day.
When he saw Cheng Shan's expression, he could only roll his eyes and follow his guards out.
”Moreover, Duan Feng has a tough attitude and is unwilling to surrender from beginning to end. The fourth prince will arrive at this place in at most a month. If we were to continue attacking the city, that would only cause your future position to waver even further.” Cheng Shan continued.
Duan Chengxuan put down the official document in his hand. ”Don't mind it. What news do you have from the place where you fell into the water?”
”What did His Royal Highness send people to do there? Quite a few people have already left after hearing the news. Even the people from the Jianghu that have gathered at the borders of the city seem to be very interested in finding out.” Cheng Shan asked, puzzled.
Duan Chengxuan raised his eyebrows, as he still remembered that Gu Pingyan had told him before.
The immortality of this era was simply the eternal gain of the human race. If one wanted to live on their own, those words would simply be empty talk.
After some thought, the corner of his mouth lifted. ”So what about Third Prince?”
”He doesn't seem to want to go against you.”
”It's just the surface.” The tent flap was casually lifted up by Hong Xiao, and a curved blade just barely hung onto his shoulder. That alien's face had a somewhat complacent smile on it as he said, ”Prince, you have guessed right, Ai Yan's sons all brought people to counterattack, saying that the immortal secrets are in our hands. The Ninth Prince has allowed the borders to be closed this time, and is prepared to let us borrow the air city to have a fight with them.”
Cheng Shan was slightly surprised and puzzled.
”So from the beginning, Yan'Er never planned to take this piece of puzzle.” As Duan Chengxuan spoke like this, he tightly grasped the Zhanmadao that was placed at the side. When he raised his head, his eyes were only filled with gloom as he said, ”Since this battle was caused by the secrets of longevity from the beginning, this king will naturally bury it along with the mysteries of longevity.”
”But we can't get in touch with that prince.”
”Yan'Er has the same heart as me, that's enough.” Duan Chengxuan walked past Hong Xiao without even glancing at him. He was so shocked that Hong Xiao's eyes lit up as he quickly caught up to Duan Chengxuan and said with a smile, ”Hong Xiao is willing to go through fire and water for your highness.”
”For Cheng Yi and Cheng Er to protect Yan'Er, she would probably do many things just for the sake of creating her own momentum.” As Duan Chengxuan spoke, the pupils of the officers beside him slightly constricted before they silently left to give orders. At the same time, the next command was followed by a report, ”Leave another half of the people in defense. If the Third Prince's army takes a step forward, then get those generals to raise their heads and meet them.”
Hong Xiao was slightly stunned at first, then he understood what Duan Chengxuan meant. ”Do you think Duan Feng and Duan Chengrui are on the same side?”
”If that's not the case, why did the two of them join hands to push me into this place of internal strife, and now they want me to withstand the external enemy to weaken my army?” The corners of Duan Chengxuan's mouth were stretched taut, and the heavy saber in his hand actually changed directions. He laughed in a low voice. ”An extremely clumsy and clumsy trick.”
”A clumsy lie can also be a sharp weapon for deceiving.”
Seeing that those eyes were no longer weak and malicious, only remaining fear and excitement, she only raised her mouth: ”Everything I told you is real. Grasp this well, then Mu Qing will do his best to treat you well.”
