The next day, when the sisters met, Yan Muxi learned that Gu Yunting had been to Jincheng.

"He came during the day and returned at night. General Gu took the trouble to travel hundreds of miles despite his busy schedule to come to Jincheng to coax his lovely wife. Third sister should be relieved this time!"

Dingzhou is more than 200 miles away from Jincheng. It takes a good horse to ride fast all day to make a round trip. It also takes more than ten hours on the horse without sleep. You can imagine how hard it is.

"He did something stupid and wrong, isn't it normal for him to come and explain it to me?" Yan Mujun said arrogantly and indifferently, but she was worried in her heart.

Although Gu Yunting only suffered a superficial injury on his shoulder, it could not withstand repeated cracking. If the wound became inflamed and did not heal well, he would have to suffer more.

Yan Muxi smiled and didn't expose her, "Arbitrary and authoritarian male chauvinism cannot be tolerated. Third sister, make a scene with him, and make a scene severely. I will never forgive him in this life."

"We can make a fuss, but we don't have to make a fuss for the rest of our lives!" Yan Mujun realized Yan Muxi was teasing her after she said this. She glared at him unhappily and said, "I'll be happy to see you. I'm willing to watch the fun."

After chatting, Yan Muxi asked about the main business, "When will the third sister return to Dingzhou?"

"It has not been decided yet, but it will be no later than ten days. After fighting two battles in a row, the wounded camp is short-handed and I'm afraid they will be overwhelmed." Yan Muyun suddenly remembered, "Second sister said before that she had something to ask Gu Yunting, can you tell me what it is now?"

Yan Muxi didn't rush to answer her question. He frowned and thought for a moment before asking, "Third sister, you have been married to Gu Yunting for a few years. Do you think he is a loyal person?"

Although Yan Muyun had no fear of the imperial power in her heart, she was still shocked when she heard such treasonous words, "Could it be that Second Sister wants to instigate Gu Yunting to rebel?" She couldn't help but lower the last two words.

Seeing her nervous expression, Yan Muxi pretended to be relaxed and smiled, "Don't be too nervous, Third sister. Nothing has happened yet. I am just preparing for a rainy day. Maybe there will never be such a day."

Yan Muyun was slightly relieved, but then she heard Yan Muxi say, "But if that day really comes, I hope that Third Sister can persuade Gu Yunting not to act outdatedly and choose a king to whom he can be loyal. Family, country and the world, there is a country only when there is a family. A king who has his family, country and people in his heart is worthy of loyalty. If you work hard for a king who is not worthy, it will not be a blessing for the people or yourself."

After staring in silence for a long while, Yan Muyun finally came to her senses, "Second sister, can you tell me clearly who is the loyal prince?"

Even if she had a clear mind, she knew that the wise ruler Yan Muxi mentioned was not the current Emperor Yuanjing. Gu Yunting was a general of the Dingbei Army. If he went against the emperor's will, he would be labeled a traitor.

Gu Yunting represents more than one person, and there are tens of millions of lives at stake, including hers and Qing Ge'er. Once Gu Yunting goes astray, all the people related to him will be doomed, so no matter how much she trusts her sisters, she has to understand the reasons behind it.

Yan Muxi shook his head. "I still don't know who the future king will be. It could be the crown prince, or it could be someone else. What I can confirm is that no matter who holds the imperial power in the end, it must be someone who is opposed to Emperor Yuanjing."

Yan Mujun's brows knitted even tighter. The prince was the crown prince and the legitimate heir to the imperial power, so it was understandable that Gu Yunting surrendered to him in advance.

If someone else wants to seize the world from the Yu family, it would be fine if they succeed, but if they fail, Gu Yunting and the Dingbei Marquisate will become traitors in history books.

After a difficult deliberation, Yan Muyun still felt that she should trust her sisters. She nodded and agreed, "If the day that my second sister said really comes true, I will do my best to persuade Gu Yunting."

Yan Muxi smiled, took her hand and comforted her, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, third sister. I told you all this just to provide multiple layers of protection. It is very likely that Gu Yunting made a wise choice without your advice."

Yan Yongchen had the upper hand over Emperor Yuanjing. If he was not mistaken, Yan Yongchen had already woven an airtight net, waiting to push Emperor Yuanjing into it.

Gu Yunting had been in contact with Yan Yongchen when he was in Luodu. It was possible that he was also a chess piece placed by Yan Yongchen, who could deal a fatal blow to Emperor Yuanjing at a critical moment.

At the same time, in Dingzhou City, Gu Yunting rushed back from the journey. As soon as he entered the camp, he heard that General Wu had led his troops to Yancheng again. He asked his followers, "When did the troops leave the camp?"

"The soldiers who arrived at the Mao hour are probably already at the gate of Yancheng."

Gu Yunting tightened the reins of his horse and tried to turn around to chase him, but was blocked by the ghost-faced man who flew over.

The horse raised its front hooves, neighed, and then stamped its hooves restlessly on the spot.

"Get out of the way quickly, it will be too late." Gu Yunting said in a low voice.

"General Gu, don't waste your time. You can't catch up. Even if you can catch up, what can you do?" The man spoke calmly, but there was an inexplicable sarcasm in his tone.

Gu Yunting sighed helplessly, jumped off his horse, and strode into the camp.

The man with the ghost face looked at the exhausted horse and told his followers, "Take the horse to the stable and take good care of it." After that, he started to chase Gu Yunting.

General Wu was the Northern Frontier garrison commander personally appointed by Emperor Yuanjing, and held the military command. Gu Yunting was only a reinforcement general, subordinate to General Wu, so even if he caught up with him, Gu Yunting had no right to interfere with General Wu's decision.

Inside the tent, the man with the ghost face personally poured a bowl of herbal tea and handed it to Gu Yunting.

"No matter how urgent it is, you must take care of yourself. If something happens to General Gu, who will take care of your beautiful wife?"

Gu Yunting suddenly raised his eyes and asked, "How do you know I went to Jincheng?"

The peach blossom eyes under the mask flashed with light, "It's too late. The little wound on your shoulder will scab over. How can you still make people soft-hearted?"

Gu Yunting retracted his gaze, coughed lightly, took the tea bowl, and drank the tea in the cup with a few gulps. The heat on his face finally subsided a little.

He took advantage of his injuries to run to Jincheng to see Yan Muyun. He was indeed using a trick of self-torture. If he hadn't used such a trick to make people feel sorry for him, he might not be able to get a wife even if he coaxed her for three days and three nights.

Seeing that his expression had relaxed, the ghost-faced man said again: "You should take a rest for two days and heal your wounds. There will be no fighting in Yancheng for the time being."

"Our army is already at the gate of the city, why can't we fight?" Gu Yunting asked puzzled.

"The North Vietnamese soldiers are tired and don't want to fight. Wu Dagui has always been led by the nose. If they don't want to fight, we can't beat them with sticks." The ghost-faced man said affirmatively.

Gu Yunting felt relieved, and after a moment's hesitation, he asked, "How long are you going to keep hiding like this?"

"Don't worry, it will be done soon!" The ghost-faced man clasped his fists and bowed to Gu Yunting, "I will need General Gu's care when the time comes."

Gu Yunting stood up quickly, "Your Highness, there is no need to be like this. Without the help from the old prince, there would be no Gu Yunting today. The old prince's kindness in supporting and caring for me will be unforgettable for Yunting in this life."
