All his life

"So you prepared this place a long time ago?" Gu Jingyan sat on the stone chair in the yard, watching Duan Ping, Dong Xia and the others standing in front.

"Ah, I just didn't expect there to be so many people on the other side, which hurt you." Duan Ce smiled, but his face was a bit hazy when he said this.

"What's more important is that you didn't tell me." Gu Jingyan's face turned cold.

"I didn't have time to talk about it before, but things are going smoothly in the future, so I won't bother you. I promise I will tell you anything in the future, okay?" Duan Ce sat beside Gu Jingyan, discussing it.

"Say it or not." Gu Jingyan just chuckled at this, and then entered the room.

Seeing this, Duan Ce just wiped the tip of his nose in embarrassment in front of the group of subordinates, and then hurriedly chased after Gu Jingyan.

This is already half a month after Duan Ce took Gu Jingyan to the valley. After seeing Dong Xia and the others with normal expressions and various doubts over the past few days, Gu Jingyan was sure that this place is Duan. It is well arranged.

"Leaving Langyue Mountain this time, there was Emperor Jiyue begging before me, and there were blocking soldiers behind. Many people must want to take my life. I can't put you in danger." I came to the wooden house where I have been living for a long time. , Duan Ce stopped the person who was about to turn around and leave.

"How about the front line?" Gu Jingyan couldn't see it, so he came to the table and sat down, asking.Still very concerned about that Di Jiyue who came and went in a hurry.

"Just after I calmed down, Duan Fangfang came to see me." Duan Ce didn't dare to hide anything now.

"So fast?" Gu Jingyan was very surprised when he heard it.He had never heard of a war that ended so quickly, even if the opponent was just a new country, the minimum strength was still there.

"Di Jiyue's own army is an existence that should not be underestimated, coupled with the help of many parties. She thinks it will not be very difficult to end it as soon as possible." Duan Ce said indifferently.

"Multiple parties?" He was also aware of the deal between Duan Ce and Di Jiyue this time, and only Duan Ce agreed to help throughout the whole process, and no one else.

"There is a dispute between two countries, especially a war. It is impossible to hide it. Someone is pushing it secretly."

"Then why did she come alone and only ask you for help?" Gu Jingyan couldn't figure it out.

"It's one thing for her not to ask for help, it's one thing for others to help."

"..." Gu Jingyan didn't want to speak anymore.

"Okay, there's nothing else going on, do you want to stay for a while or leave?" Duan Ce smiled lightly, there were many reasons for it, and he didn't want to bother with Gu Jingyan who shouldn't be involved in these things.

"Going back?" Here it is said whether it is big or small, but Gu Jingyan has basically gone there many times, and it doesn't matter whether he stays or goes.

"Shang Li." Duan Ce replied as he rolled up Gu Jingyan's somewhat long sleeves.

"Okay, I'll pass by Shangli when I go back. You haven't been back for a long time, right?" Seeing the surprise on Gu Jingyan's face, Duan Ce smiled and explained.

After listening to Gu Jingyan, he just nodded and didn't speak, but Duan Ce could guess what Gu Jingyan was thinking.He raised his hand and patted Gu Jingyan's hand on his lap, and continued:

"I know you don't want to go back, but some things are still there, just take them away in the past."

"You put it bluntly. I'm afraid I won't be able to get away with it when I go back this time." Gu Jingyan lowered his head and smiled helplessly. He came to Shenguo not only to make a marriage, but also to have other tasks.

"Don't worry, with me here, no one can hurt you." For a day, Duan Ce knew what Gu Jingyan was referring to without saying anything, his eyes changed, and then he returned to normal.

Gu Jingyan didn't speak any more, just sat with Duan Ce and watched Dongxia and the others packing up their things. Although they only stayed here for about half a month, there were still a lot of things to be moved.

"Then what should she do?" On the road, thinking that Gu Jingyan doesn't like to ride in a carriage, the two rode side by side.Suddenly, he asked about Di Jiyue.

"It's still Chaoyun, but it's already finishing." Duan Ce stretched out his hand to pull Gu Jingyan's horse, and turned around before returning.

Gu Jingyan didn't say anything but just nodded to show that he understood, but he was once again surprised at Di Jiyue's strength, not just anyone can win the capital of a country within half a month.

But according to Duan Ce's words, not everyone can be born to be a powerful and high-level existence, and Gu Jingyan also firmly believes in this.

Langyue Mountain is on the edge of Shangli, but there is still some distance. It's just that Gu Jingyan himself doesn't want to go back, Duan Ce has to hurry along at Gu Jingyan's speed.

Because before he came out, Duan Ce had already begun to put the court affairs back into Duan Lin's hands intentionally or unintentionally, that's why Duan Ce wandered with Gu Jingyan so freely.

"I'm going to the imperial city tomorrow, is there any place I want to go?" Duan Ce sat on the dead wood beside him, looked at the burning firewood in front of him, and asked the person next to him who was gnawing on a roast chicken.

It was a hundred miles away from the town before and after, and Duan Ce liked to camp outside at night while reciting Gu Jingyan, so he didn't hurry.

"Anything you want." Gu Jingyan was taken aback by the question. He didn't have any memories of going to Liguo. The reason why he wanted to come back was because he wanted to take away some of his mother's things.

"Then let's go shopping with you tomorrow." Duan Ce stretched out his hand, wiped off the oil stains on Gu Jingyan's face, smiled, and replied softly.

The distance of a hundred miles is not too long, and it can be arrived in half a day. When entering the imperial city, Gu Jingyan saw a very annoying person!

That is King Guoshuo's legitimate son, Gu Jingyan's elder brother - Gu Hongyong!He was also someone who liked to bully him since childhood, so Gu Jingyan didn't want to see him.Seeing this, Duan Ce stretched out his hand to hold Gu Jingyan's hand, and looked at the people who came up to him.

"Fifth brother is everything okay over there?" Gu Hongyong stepped forward immediately, and his horse moved. Gu Hongyong seemed to have just seen Duan Ce next to him at this time, and he clasped his fists to salute, "I think this is the My brother-in-law, I have admired your name for a long time!"

"Your Majesty, you are being polite. Jingyan is affirming that everything is fine." To Gu Hongyong's smile and greeting, Duan Ce just smiled lightly, with a great aura that Gu Hongyong was far inferior to.

"You guys are tired after traveling for so many days, go back first. My father often talks about my fifth brother!" Gu Hongyong, who had always paid attention to Gu Jingyan, was convinced that the relevant Duan Ce from Shen Ming was very serious. The news about pampering Gu Jingyan, the previous information is very clear, and the credibility is also high, because of the cooperation of Gu Jingyan.

But some time ago, the news was cut off, and only dispensable things came back. It can be seen that Gu Jingyan has betrayed Duan Ce!

Seeing the interaction between the two, Gu Hongyong's eyes dimmed, and then quickly returned to clarity. He thought he didn't notice it, but Duan Ce tightened his eyes during the whole process.

"Father hasn't come back yet, so fifth brother and brother-in-law should take a rest first." Gu Hongyong took Gu Jingyan and Duan Ce to Guoshuo Palace, but Guoshuo King still didn't come back from the palace.

"It's okay, it's okay, my son, take us to Jingyan's courtyard." Duan Ce nodded, got off his horse and came to Gu Jingyan's side, catching Gu Jingyan who was halfway down the horse.

"Sister-in-law, you don't need to be so polite, this is also home!" Gu Hongyong stood aside, watching Duan Ce's movements, and said.

Gu Jingyan, who was silent along the way, suddenly sneered, his eyes filled with sarcasm that only Duan Ce could understand, but Duan Ce didn't say anything, and stayed by Gu Jingyan's side all the time.

"Then son lead the way, I want to see the room before Jing Yan came." Duan Ce's smile couldn't reach his eyes, it just hung on his face.

Standing beside Gu Jingyan, he met Gu Hongyong. When he was talking, Duan Ce saw the gloom in Gu Hongyong's eyes.

Entering the gate of Guoshuo Palace, there is a huge stone wall, bypassing the stone wall, there are two roads.

Gu Hongyong led the two people who were completely unfamiliar with the road in front, talking while walking, passing by a few house slaves from time to time, all of whom only honored Gu Hongyong, bowed to Gu Jingyan and Duan Ce and left.

And Gu Jingyan beside him was curious to look at the surrounding scenery along the way, and turned a blind eye to the domestic slave who did not respect him.

Duan Ce sees these small details in his eyes. Regarding these abnormalities and the results of Duan Ce's previous investigation, why is Gu Jingyan, the way of nature, so unfamiliar with these roads? Because in the past, Gu Jingyan was not allowed to pass !

Thinking of this, Duan Ce's eyes turned cold, and he shook Gu Jingyan's hand vigorously, in exchange for Gu Jingyan's doubts. Duan Ce just smiled comfortingly at this, and Gu Jingyan ignored it.

"Brother, you are finally back, Er Niang has been waiting for you for a long time."

Walking and walking, suddenly a figure sprang out from the side, still running and talking, because there were a bit too many people during the period, when the visitor was bypassing Dongxia, he accidentally bumped into Duan Ce, and exclaimed.

"Are you okay?" Duan Ce stretched out his hand to catch the person who hit him and was about to fall, and he took a closer look and found that it was a woman in a pink dress.

"Sirou is fine, thank you, young master, for helping me out." The woman originally wanted to scold someone for blocking people on the road, but when she looked up, she found that the other party was a rare and handsome man. Hong, getting up shyly, replied softly.

Duan Ce just withdrew his hand as soon as he supported him, and when he heard what the other party said, he nodded and took a step back, standing at the back half of Gu Jingyan's side.

As soon as Duan Ce retreated like this, the woman could naturally see Gu Jingyan next to her, her expression changed instantly, and her voice became heavier.

"Why are you here? You will know how to get back when you come back!"

"Fourth Sister." As soon as Gu Sirou's words came out, Gu Hongyong immediately stopped him loudly, but Duan Ce heard him, and his eyes sank, "Which way are you going?"

"Xiaomen, he... What are you doing, brother!" Gu Hongyong interrupted his speech again, so Gu Sirou's tone was very bad.

"Go back and tell Er Niang that the fifth brother is back." With Duan Ce around, Gu Hongyong couldn't speak directly, but just pushed Sirou to walk in another direction.

"Why!" Gu Sirou turned her head to look, but saw the seriousness in the elder brother's eyes, looking at the man next to him who was already looking bad, Gu Sirou noticed something, and followed Gu Hongyong to push the flames. up.

"Is there anything the prince needs us to go?" Watching Gu Sirou walk away, but Duan Ce didn't intend to close this chapter, and asked again.

"Haha, this is a habit in my house. After returning to the door, we have to walk down the glazed bridge. Because the fifth brother is tired from the boat and the car, it can only be delayed." Gu Hongyong secretly scolded Gu Sirou for his talkativeness. On the contrary, he used an excuse at will to prevaricate.

"If that's the case, then please ask the prince to lead the way." Duan Ce's eyes turned cold when he heard this, but he just wanted to wait until later to settle accounts together.

Since entering the palace, Gu Jingyan has not been in a good mood, so Duan Ce has to go to the courtyard first.

"Please go this way." After passing the front yard, it is the backyard where people mainly live. Gu Hongyong leads the way.

Duan Ce ignored it, but bowed his head to Gu Jingyan. "I haven't seen your room yet, take me there."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Hongyong's face froze for a moment, it was very ugly, but Duan Ce only looked at Gu Jingyan, but didn't notice that's all, while Dongxia and Duan Ping on the other side saw it .

They all had a bad impression of this so-called prince, so much so that the entire Guoshuo palace was implicated.These people are damned!How dare you do this to their princess!Because it is the relationship of Duan Ce's confidant, Dongxia and the others also have some understanding of Gu Jingyan's previous situation.

Gu Hongyong had no other choice but to follow Gu Jingyan to lead the way to the remote courtyard where he had been living before, but because Gu Hongyong had the foresight, the Ming people simply built it in the dilapidated courtyard. At least not as dilapidated as it used to be.

"Have you always lived here?" Although it is not as good as other yards, it is not dilapidated and dirty. Overall, it is just a little remote and small.

"Yeah, the fifth brother has always liked to live in this small courtyard, and my father is also troubled by it." Gu Hongyong picked up the topic later, but Duan Ce ignored it.

"It's time to work, we want to take a break first." Duan Ce did not respond to Gu Hongyong's explanation, but instead ordered to see off the guests.

"Then fifth brother and brother-in-law, let's wash up first. If you need anything, just call me." Gu Hongyong had no choice but to leave, and his face turned livid the moment he turned around.

"Don't you like it here? Or let's go to the inn." After they left, Duan Ce held Gu Jingyan's hand and asked worriedly. "It's even worse for me to come back and live outside. Let's just stay here." Gu Jingyan's eyes darkened, and his voice was no longer energetic. Duan Ce felt distressed.

"Aren't you going for a walk?" Duan Ce sat next to Gu Jingyan, and both of them sat down on this square stone table in the yard.

"There's nothing to go." Gu Jingyan's mood was very low, maybe it was because of this place, Duan Ce saw it, he was very worried, and he planned to rest and leave immediately.

"Then I'll take you somewhere." Duan Ce smiled, pulled Gu Jingyan up and left. "Where are you going?" Gu Jingyan was puzzled.
