"Hey! It's just a joke! It's just a joke!" Gu Rui smiled apologetically, "Don't be angry, Prince Su. The prince was just joking with Miss Abei..."

Chu Younan glared at him, "Gu Rui! Don't think that I won't do anything to you just because my father values ​​you! It's obvious that you came up with this bad idea! If you dare to do it again, I'll be rude to you!"

Gu Rui smiled awkwardly and took Cheng Shi away.

The unhappiness just now was swept away, Su Bei quickly closed the door and smiled at Chu Younan, "Why did you come here suddenly? Have you told the emperor?"

"I'm worried about you." Chu Younan's voice was light and a little cold. He glanced at the scattered camellias, his eyes full of displeasure, "Why did you open the door for him in the middle of the night?"

"Uh... I thought it was Yun Rou who came to deliver something," Su Bei stepped forward and hugged his waist, shaking it flatteringly, "Don't be angry, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and when we meet, you have a sullen face, you are not handsome at all!"

Chu Younan was almost furious. As soon as he arrived, he saw Cheng Shi pounce on Su Bei. Then he thought that Cheng Shi had come all the way with Su Bei and had been together for more than ten days. He instantly became jealous.

"If I had known he would come with me, I would have followed him even if it meant disobeying your order!" Chu Younan stretched out his long arms and embraced Su Bei in his arms, saying angrily, "I was worried about you, but it seems like you must have enjoyed the journey very much!"

"No, no, I listened to you and stayed away from Gu Rui. Didn't you see that I live here, while Gu Rui and Cheng Shi live in the outermost room?" Su Bei shook him again, "Okay, tell me quickly, why are you here? Did the emperor allow it?"

"He has been like this all the way?" Chu Younan was not affected by her at all and was still obsessed with this topic.

"No, who knows what Gu Rui said to him. It's obvious that he was fooled by Gu Rui. You're right, we should stay away from Gu Rui. By the way, how is the emperor's health?" Su Bei was still persistent in changing the subject.

But Chu Younan's attention was not so easy to divert. He was still persistent, "Let him go back tomorrow. Why should he get involved in this matter?!"

Su Bei had no choice but to stand on tiptoe, hook his neck tightly, and kiss him fiercely.

The world is finally quiet...

The next morning.

They will arrive in Fengyuan today, and the group agreed to discuss in Gu Rui's room. When Su Bei and Chu Younan arrived, the room was already quite lively.

Chu Youyang and Xue Jinrong were still arguing as usual, saying that they had decided last night that one of them would sleep on a bed and the other would sleep on the floor. But after a while, Chu Youyang felt that the floor was too cold and sneaked onto the bed.

The two fought again, and the result was...

"Just when I beat him into submission, I heard a quarrel in your room. I couldn't sleep because of the noise!" Xue Jinrong complained.

Chu Younan's anger, which had been suppressed with great difficulty, flared up again. He glanced at the room and said coldly, "This is a serious matter. Those who are not involved should leave immediately!"

Chu Youyang and Xue Jinrong were silent for a moment. They looked at each other and finally reached a consensus.

"It's so dangerous, we can't let Abei take the risk alone!" Xue Jinrong looked determined.

Chu Youyang echoed: "We have followed him all the way here, how can we just watch Ah Bei go to his death? Aren't you here too?"

Originally, Chu Younan was not targeting them, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you two have always been good friends with Ah Bei, so you should live and die with her. But..."

Then, he turned to Cheng Shi and said coldly, "Prince Jingnan has only one son. To avoid any accidents, you should go back."

Cheng Shiben was sitting in the corner with his head down because of what happened yesterday. When he heard these words, he knew they were directed at him, his face turned red, and he stood up and was about to leave without saying a word.

But Gu Rui, who had always been smiling, suddenly became serious. He grabbed Cheng Shi and said loudly, "No! Prince Su, do you know why I brought him here? Of course, I didn't bring him here to eat and drink for free!"

Chu Younan glanced at him calmly and did not respond. Instead, he said disdainfully: "Put on your clothes before you talk!"

"What do you know? This is called lazy beauty, you know?" Although Gu Rui muttered, he quickly pulled up his collar to cover his two taels of lean muscles. "Before coming here, I observed the stars. This trip is extremely dangerous. In addition, there is the matter of the Yin soldiers borrowing the road. It can only be broken with the blood of people born on a Yang year, a Yang month, and a Yang day. Among those present, only Master Cheng meets the requirements!"

After hearing what he said, everyone suddenly became serious. Although Gu Rui looked unreliable, he became a Heavenly Master because of his real ability!

Three years ago, when the Wu State was at war with Zi Chou, he advised the emperor that he had observed the stars at night and discovered that Zi Chou was about to encounter an accident. As long as the war could be delayed for three to five days, the battle would be won.

At that time, Chu Younan was leading his troops to defend the border and was about to give up the border to preserve his strength. However, he received a letter from a carrier pigeon and insisted on leading his troops to fight for five days and five nights.

The Zichou people, who were about to win, suddenly turned their horses around and started killing each other. Chu Younan took advantage of the opportunity and turned defeat into victory.

Chu Younan was very optimistic about him, but Chu Yan wanted to reward him. Gu Rui did not want money, but only wanted Mei Fei...

He nearly lost his head, but fortunately Chu Yan was not a person who did not know gratitude and resentment. He thought he was talking nonsense, rewarded him with a mansion and gold and silver, and ordered him not to enter the harem. Only then did he let it go.

Today he said that this journey was dangerous and that he would encounter the Yin soldiers who were borrowing the road, which shocked everyone present! Cheng Shi shrank his hand that was being held, and then looked at him with a little fear, "You said you were bored on the road, so you asked me to come with you, could it be that you had a plan in advance and wanted to kill me?"

Gu Rui looked at him with a smile again, "Let me ask you, don't you feel that you have been very happy these past ten days? Are you going to escape in front of Ah Bei now?"

Cheng Shi's expression froze. No man would want to back down in front of the woman he loved, and he was no exception.

"The Yin soldiers are borrowing the road..." Cheng Shi's eyes gradually became serious. "This matter is of great importance. It concerns the rise and fall of the Wu Kingdom. If I can use my life in exchange for the stability of the Wu Kingdom, I am willing..."

As he spoke, he turned to Su Bei with a serious look, "Miss Abei, please tell my parents that I died for the Wu Kingdom. Although I am sorry for their kindness in raising me, I will be loyal to my country until my death. Please ask them to think of a way to give birth to a son to bear with them."

When he finished speaking, tears were already welling up in his eyes, almost about to burst out.

Su Bei couldn't help but feel sad. What's the difference between using human lives to exchange for peace and living sacrifice? It's too cruel!

"Gu Rui! You can't do this! Let him go back!" Su Bei said sternly.

"Heh!" Gu Rui glanced at her nonchalantly, his eyes half smiling, "You are so ignorant. Did I say I wanted his life? Life and blood, are they the same thing?"

Oh? It seems that he did say that he wanted blood...

Su Bei was embarrassed.

Gu Rui chuckled again and said frivolously: "If you want to know if I can do it, try it tomorrow night!"
