Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

After dark, Gu Chan and her three companions returned to their room on the second floor of Fulai Inn.

The chimpanzees could only sleep in the carriage and were not allowed to enter the inn.

During these seven days, Ding Sheng sat in his room all day, worried and unable to sleep, and most of his hair turned white.

Seeing that Gu Chan had returned safely, he instantly jumped up excitedly, ran to Gu Chan, grabbed her hand and shouted, "Manager Gu, you are finally back. I missed you so much."

"Get out! This is so disgusting." Gu Chan pulled her hand back and cursed angrily.

Ding Sheng didn't care about her at all and kept jumping and dancing around the room happily.

Gu Chan didn't want to pay attention to him either, and said to Lao Bai, "Why don't you go to bed and rest for a while? You haven't slept for several days. What if your old bones are broken?"

"Yeah, let's get a good night's sleep first. This problem can't be solved anyway. Just stay alert and learn from you slowly." Lao Bai sighed helplessly.

After saying that, he could only put down the questions in his hand temporarily, walked to the bed, lay down and fell asleep.

Ding Sheng's excitement had passed and he finally calmed down. He walked up to Gu Chan and asked in a low voice, "Manager Gu, who is this old man?"

"He's a master. You'd better not offend him, otherwise he can kill you with just a wave of his hand." Gu Chan said deliberately threateningly.

Ding Sheng nodded repeatedly in fear.

Gu Chan turned to Ren Yin and said, "Go down and ask the waiter to prepare good wine and food for me. I want to celebrate tonight."

"What, let me go?" Ren Yin said coldly.

"Don't want to? Then go back! Don't follow me. You have to figure out what your current status is. Do you dare to yell at me?" Gu Chan puffed out his chest and crossed his arms over his chest and scolded.

Ren Yin glared at her and wanted to get angry, but he didn't dare to. His aggrieved look was really funny.

However, he had to admit that what Gu Chan said was right. Gu Chan was now the commander of Renzong's tenth team, while he was just a spy in the ninth team. His status was certainly not as high as Gu Chan's.

The female clan leader sent him to keep an eye on Gu Chan, so he could only be a subordinate. How could he dare to put on airs in front of Gu Chan like he did before!

With no other options, Ren Yin could only suppress his anger and say, "Yes, Commander."

After saying that, he turned and left with a sullen face.

Ding Sheng was stunned and said in surprise, "Manager Gu, this person is a senior official of Tianji Pavilion! Why should he listen to you?"

"Hehe! I have passed the trial of Renzong of Tianji Pavilion and am now the commander of Renzong's tenth team. He is just a spy of the ninth team. How can his status be compared with mine?" Gu Chan said proudly.

"Awesome, I am completely convinced by you. I am saved this time. The emperor will not kill me again, right?" Ding Sheng asked.

Gu Chan said seriously, "Don't worry, Sect Master Renzong has promised me that he will go to the Emperor to plead for you, but the premise is that we will go back to Zhongyuan City and find a way to help the Emperor take back the border."

"This may be a bit difficult, right? The Central Plains camp has sent a large army to the border. If they can't defeat the Diyue Kingdom's army, is it possible for just you and me to succeed?" Ding Sheng said worriedly.

"Let's take it one step at a time. This result is the best for both of us. And think about it, if we can really find a way to help the soldiers of the Central Plains camp retake the border, we will have made a contribution. Then it will not be impossible for you to return to the border and continue to serve as the magistrate of Wuheng County." Gu Chan said patiently.

Ding Sheng fell silent and thought to himself.

This result might be a test for him. Just as Gu Chan said, if he could help her take back the border, he would have a chance to return to be the county magistrate.

Thinking of this, he immediately said with a firm look in his eyes, "Okay, then I'll listen to you. From now on, I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

"Then let's make a deal first! From now on, you and I are grasshoppers tied to the same rope, and you can't cheat me like you did before." Gu Chan pointed at Ding Sheng and reminded him.

"Don't worry about this. We had a grudge against each other in the past! Now that you are my benefactor, of course I will help you wholeheartedly. Besides, this is also helping myself! There is no way I can't understand this." Ding Sheng patted his chest and promised.

Gu Chan nodded with satisfaction, and her heart finally calmed down.

Then the two of them didn't say anything more, but left the room together and went downstairs to eat and celebrate.

After they finished dinner, the eunuch sent by the emperor to convey his imperial edict arrived.

Gu Chan and the other two knelt on the ground to receive the imperial edict. The eunuch read the imperial edict to Gu Chan and then left with his men.

The content of the imperial edict undoubtedly meant that the emperor temporarily pardoned Fatty Ding's death sentence and ordered him to assist Gu Chan in retaking the border. As for how the two were to retake the border, it was up to them to decide.

In order to make it easier for Gu Chan to act, the emperor also gave her a golden imperial sword, which made her very happy.

Look, after returning to the room upstairs, Gu Chan sat at the table, touching the golden imperial sword in her hand, and was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

Ding Sheng, who was sitting next to her, also looked very happy and said, "That's good. With this imperial sword, we can go back to Zhongyuan City and see who dares to bully us."

"No, this thing has to be hidden. People in Zhongyuan City cannot know about it. Also, you have to keep the fact that I have entered the Tianji Pavilion as the leader of Team Ten a secret. It cannot be leaked to outsiders. This will make it easier for us to act. Otherwise, it will easily bring us fatal disasters." Gu Chan reminded in time.

Ding Sheng nodded quickly in agreement.

He had been in the officialdom before, so he naturally understood what Gu Chan meant. He had to hide his edge when it was time to do so, so as not to bring himself unnecessary trouble.

Gu Chan calmed down and said no more. She immediately went to find a piece of cloth, tied up the imperial sword tightly and put it on her back. In this way, to outsiders, it would look like she was carrying a fire stick, which would not easily arouse suspicion.

Ding Sheng looked surprised and said, "This is the imperial sword! Are you just going to wrap it up and carry it on your back like this?"

"What else? You even bought a fine brocade box to put it in, as if you were afraid that people wouldn't know it was a treasure? Haven't you heard that the more dangerous a place is, the safer it is? If I carry it like this, others will just think I'm carrying a fire stick. Only if you pack it well will others think of it!" Gu Chan said unhappily.

"That's true. You took it a bit unexpectedly. No one would have thought that you could carry such a treasure on your back casually." Ding Sheng agreed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Ren Yin walked in quickly with a cold face.
