Upon realizing this, Yun Zhan swiftly stepped back and said to Gu Qiao, "Qiao, I'm returning to the capital city. Take care of yourself."

Gu Qiao felt a surge of emotions.

What did he, he, he... say?

Did he recognize her disguise today was not convincing enough?

Seeing her being frightened, Yun Zhan quickly covered it up, "Ahem, ahem, my apologies, Miss Qiao Huan, I misspoke just now. Please don't be offended."

Gu Qiao: "..."

Can I believe it? Can I believe it?

But what if I don't believe it?

Can only temporarily believe and escape in a couple of days.

Hmm, wait, no, Yun Zhan just said he's going back to the capital city. Translated content:

Hmm, when he returns to the capital, she will finally have a few days of freedom.

*

What Yun Zhan didn't expect was that even before he set off, he received a letter from his royal brother urging him to marry soon.

In this situation, going back would be to walk into a trap. He quickly canceled his plan to return to Beijing.

He was prepared to have an open and honest conversation with Gu Qiao, telling her not to go through so much trouble just to avoid him. Please note that the translation provided may not preserve the exact meaning or tone of the original text.

He sincerely begged her to wait for him for two years.

He wanted to use two years to resolve the border crisis, then fake his death to learn from her, wait until Li Yunxi gets married, and then live a hidden life with her.

Of course, if she really doesn't want to wait for her, please ask her to resume her true identity and live freely. He will restrain himself from harassing her.

In the middle of the night, Yun Zhan quietly entered the Qiao family's courtyard, pushed open the study door, and was stunned to see that there was no disguise, and Gu Qiao's true face was revealed.

Gu Qiao is worse than him.

Didn't he... Didn't he return to Beijing?

Why did he come back?

Oh, this is troublesome. How do I explain this?

She glanced around and decided to pretend to have amnesia. She gently asked Yun Zhan, "Who are you? Have we met before?"

Yun Zhan looked at her for a moment and sighed, "Stop pretending. If you really had amnesia, you would at least scream when you see me in the middle of the night. Ah Qiao, stop pretending. I promise you, I won't push you anymore."

Gu Qiao admitted defeat and said grumpily, "You've said this many times before, but you always break your promises at the end."

Yun Zhan replied, "I was wrong. But I didn't mean to do it on purpose. At that time, I hadn't thought things through. Qiao, it hurts me to see you living a hidden life because of me. I don't want you to be like this."

Gu Qiaoxin thought, it's quite interesting, I don't feel wronged at all.

However, she didn't say anything and quietly listened to Yun Zhan speaking.

Yun Zhan continued, "I have an idea now. I want to change the strategy of purely defensive and start launching an attack on the Desert Cloud Nation in a short period of time to completely resolve the defense issues at the border. This way, I can accomplish my goal and retire by faking my death.

If I break off my engagement with Li Yunxi while still alive, it would be an insult to her. If I were to die, it wouldn't damage her reputation.

So, Aqiao, I want you to wait for me for a while. Don't worry, Aqiao, during this time that you're waiting, I won't disturb you.

Gu Qiao remained silent for a moment and nodded gently, "I promise you. And also, I will help you if you can really manage to not disturb me."

Yun Zhan did not ask for Gu Qiao's help, but she offered to help on her own. He would certainly not refuse, as this would increase the chances of success and shorten the required time.

He nodded busily, "I'll make good on my words this time, and I hope you won't change your appearance and hide from me again."

顾乔绷着脸笑了下,“那我最后相信你一次?”

“I can swear.”

“No need, I believe you.”

“Aqiao, I want to start deploying tomorrow. First, tell me how you want to help me?”

Gu Qiao, "You misunderstood, the help I mentioned is not tactical. I don't understand tactical matters, and I have already contributed my knowledge of weapons. When I say help you, it's a different approach."
