Qiu Yan held back her laughter. "Very good."

Gu Qian coughed lightly and raised his voice:

"And how does that compare to Qin Feng?"

Qiu Yan... When did Gu Qian start caring about his appearance?

If his three thousand soldiers knew this, I wonder what their expressions would be.

"The general's appearance is too flamboyant if it's too beautiful, and too cold if it's too cold. The son of Western Qin is certainly no match for him."

As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and besides, Gu Qian's appearance...

Magnificent and handsome, with an imposing presence.

Gu Qian listened with great pleasure.

He loved hearing Yan Yan praise him.

"Yan Yan, you still haven't told me, what's the point of keeping him around?"

Getting down to business, Qiu Yan said seriously, "Back then, Qin Feng woke up once. He said he had a topographical map of Northern Qi."

Gu Qian pondered, and had to admit that the benefits were very tempting. "This person is cunning and treacherous; what he says may not be true."

Qiu Yan had naturally taken Gu Qian's words into consideration.

Whether it's true or not, it's only a matter of time before Dongjin conquers Northern Qi.

"You said when you came back last time that the Northern Qi envoy used every trick in the book to make the surrounding countries submit to them and willingly submit to their lowly status. Moreover, the Northern Qi army has nearly two million men."

Gu Qian nodded: "I did say that."

“He’s the one who caused this situation,” Qiu Yan said, glancing at Qin Feng.

Gu Qian's eyes flickered slightly. "You mean, among the surrounding states, it wasn't Northern Qi that submitted, but..."

Qin Feng?

"Exactly." Qiu Yan smiled with satisfaction; Gu Qian understood immediately.

She only thought of this when Qin Feng mentioned that he had a map of the Northern Qi territory.

Gu Qian glanced at Qiu Yan with a smile, then continued his analysis:

"The more than one million soldiers newly recruited by Northern Qi may also be under his control."

Qiu Yan: "Very likely."

Qin Feng has his reasons for surviving until now.

Gu Qian: "On the surface, the Northern Qi has added more than a million soldiers, but in reality, the power to command the troops is still in the hands of the other states."

Suddenly, he understood.

"In other words, the surrounding countries have long been wary of Qin Feng..."

Qiu Yan: "I bow down and submit!"

Gu Qian nodded and kissed Qiu Yan's warm forehead.

This person is indeed of great use.

His Yan Yan has a clear mind and her analysis is very logical.

His Yan Yan is truly his ideal strategist.

"Yan Yan, it's so good to have you."

"Stop being so sarcastic, go eat first."

Hearing the lively chatter from next door, Qiu Yan knew that dinner had already begun.

However, given Qin Feng's near-death state, Qiu Yan was truly afraid that he would die.

Therefore, she prescribed medicine first to prolong this person's life.

"It's not easy for us to get together, I want to have dinner with you." Gu Qiancai wouldn't let Qiu Yan and Qin Feng share a room.

Qiu Yan said no more and wrote down a prescription.

Qin Feng's illness is far too serious to be cured. Right now, she can only keep him alive for the time being.

During this time, Bailu waited outside.

However, upon seeing Qiu Yan come out, he did not ask any further questions.

She was afraid of hearing bad news.

Qin Susu was also there, and the first thing she said to Qiu Yan as soon as she came out was:

"Is he dead?"

As soon as she spoke, she was met with a sharp glare from Bai Lu, and she shrank back weakly.

Uh… At the courtyard gate, Ling Qi and Ling Ba, who were standing straight, couldn’t help but twitch their lips.

Upon seeing Gu Qian, the two men stood even more upright.

"He's dead, and you will be held responsible!" Qiu Yan said, then turned and went back to her own courtyard with Gu Qian.

"This is."

Poor Qin Susu had no choice but to reluctantly enter the room with a droopy face.

To avoid suspicion, she brought Ling Qi along.

She prayed silently in her heart that this man would at least survive.

Gu Qian arrived at the Qiu family and then went to meet his master's wife and two junior brothers.

"Master's wife."

At this moment, Madam Ye was holding Li Wenhan in one arm and feeding him rice cereal with the other.

Seeing Gu Qian, he thought to himself, "At least he has a conscience."

"I thought you weren't coming."

"I will never forget my second uncle's marriage." In Gu Qian's heart, Qiu Dafu was comparable to his father-in-law.

He squeezed out time from his busy schedule.
