Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

When Feng Ji saw the dumbfounded looks on Gu Chan and the others' faces, she burst into laughter.

Gu Chan said angrily, "My god sister! I'm so worried and you can still laugh!"

"Don't be impatient, I haven't finished speaking yet!" Feng Ji said with a smile.

After that, she pulled Gu Chan to sit down and said earnestly, "Before I came here, the emperor told me that now that the border has been recovered and it is the beginning of winter with heavy snow, you don't have to stay here any longer. Let the Ninth Prince lead people to repair and set up defenses here, and you take people to Jiangnan."

"Going to Jiangnan?" Gu Chan was surprised.

She really didn't expect that the emperor would want her to go to Jiangnan.

Feng Ji explained, "The Jiangnan area has always been an important tax collection area for Tiancang Kingdom. The people there are much richer than those in Zhongyuan City, and there are thousands of wealthy people. Now if we want to get money to repair the border, we have to go to Jiangnan."

"Oh! I understand. No wonder the emperor gave me the position of imperial envoy. After all this time, he just wanted me to go to Jiangnan to make money!" Gu Chan said with relief.

At this time, she was not so anxious anymore.

Although 5 billion taels of silver is an astronomical figure, if she really goes to Jiangnan, it is not impossible for her to get such a large sum of money.

After all, she had heard before that the Jiangnan area was rich enough to rival a country, and the wealthy people there were all very rich. And most importantly, the Jiangnan area produced valuable things such as salt, silk, tea, etc. Even if she couldn't get money from them, she could just buy some in bulk and resell them, which would also make money!

Xue Lihua also said excitedly, "I heard that the Jiangnan area has four seasons like spring and no snow in winter. I don't know if it's true. If I really go there, I would like to go and see it."

"Yeah! I'm also curious about the Jiangnan area." Ren Nanshan followed suit.

Wei Xing and the other three smiled but said nothing.

Compared to their previous nervousness, they have now calmed down.

Feng Ji smiled faintly and said, "Remember, don't reveal your identity easily when you get there. The people over there are much more ruthless than those in Zhongyuan City and the border. It's best not to reveal the Imperial Sword unless it's absolutely necessary."

"I understand, sister. Let's go back and pack our bags. We will set out for Zhongyuan City early tomorrow morning. After that, we will form a caravan in Zhongyuan City and head to the Jiangnan area in the name of doing business." Gu Chan said.

Feng Ji nodded in satisfaction.

Gu Chan said nothing more, immediately stood up, said goodbye, and left with his six men.

After they left, Xuanyuan Qing stared at Feng Ji and sneered, "Cousin, are you planning to snatch someone from me?"

"You are trying to snatch this person from me! Don't forget that from the very beginning, Gu Chan was the commander of the tenth team of my Renzong. I didn't blame you, but you blame me instead?" Feng Ji said with a stiff face.

"Don't worry, you can't snatch her from me. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. She has been chosen by me a long time ago, and now she looks more and more like a woman. In the future, I will marry her and make her my imperial concubine." Xuanyuan Qing deliberately brought this out.

Feng Ji was stunned when she heard this, with anger on her face.

After glaring at Xuanyuan Qing fiercely, she stood up and shouted, "Well, my cousin, you are really amazing. You can do such a thing. No wonder the princes and princesses all regard you as a thorn in their eyes and want to get rid of you as soon as possible. I advise you to be careful in the future and don't be too ostentatious, otherwise I'm afraid you won't even know how you died."

After saying that, Feng Ji angrily threw her sleeves and left.

Xuanyuan Qing sat there, watching her leaving back, a cold grin on his face.

On the other side, in Gu Chan's room.

At this time, Gu Chan was sitting around the table with his six subordinates, discussing secretly.

Wei Xing was the first to speak, "I have a feeling that the emperor sent the female leader Renzong here this time for more than just an imperial decree. She must have other purposes."

"Brother Renyin, you used to be a spy for Renzong's Ninth Team. Logically, you should know your sect leader very well. Why don't you tell us about him?" Ma Zheng said, looking at Renyin.

Ren Yin smiled bitterly and said, "I am just a small spy of the Ninth Team. I don't even see her normally, so how can I understand her? Over the years, the only thing I know is that our female leader is not only insidious, but also extremely cruel. She is definitely not a good person."

"Okay, stop guessing. The purpose of her coming here is very simple in my opinion." Gu Chan suddenly said.

The six of them looked up at her in confusion.

Gu Chan analyzed secretly, "The Ninth Prince is too smart, and people like him are never liked by others. The emperor has so many princes and princesses, who would like him? And the emperor himself is also an extremely powerful and shrewd person, he will definitely not allow the Ninth Prince to become powerful."

"Oh! I see. The Emperor intentionally sent Feng Ji here this time just to check and balance the Ninth Prince."

"The emperor is so cruel! He even guards against his own son. His life must be so tiring."

"There's nothing I can do. Having too many sons is not a good thing. After all, every prince is eyeing the throne!"

After Gu Chan said this, the six people immediately sighed with relief.

There is no doubt that Xuanyuan Qing played an indispensable role in this great victory on the border. He will definitely win the hearts of the people. Once he becomes too powerful, it will not be a good thing for him.

Those princes in Kyoto who covet the throne might secretly hire an expert to kill him one day.

At this time, the emperor sent Feng Ji to check and balance him, which was equivalent to giving him a reminder and saving his life in disguise.

After understanding all this, Wei Xing sighed and said, "As the saying goes, being with the emperor is like being with a tiger. It seems that we really need to stay away from the Ninth Prince from now on, otherwise I'm afraid we will all face death."

"The emperor asked us to go to Jiangnan to make money and left him here to repair the border. Isn't this purpose obvious? He just wants to weaken the power around him and isolate him. Moreover, generals such as Tian Ying have been dispersed to various places, which further confirms this point." Gu Chan said.

The six people nodded without comment.

Gu Chan didn't want to say any more, so she waved at the six people and said, "Hurry up and get ready for bed! Tomorrow morning, after breakfast, we'll leave quickly and don't stay here any longer."

"Yes, Boss." The six people said in unison.

Then they got up and left, each going back to their rooms to pack up and rest.

Gu Chan also lay back on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, before daybreak, Gu Chan and the others got up early, washed, packed up, and quickly ate breakfast. They fled as if they were escaping, without even saying goodbye to Xuanyuan Qing. They got on the carriage and left quickly with the eight mysterious beasts.

When it was daybreak, Xuanyuan Qing woke up and found that Gu Chan and others had left long ago.

He immediately became so angry that he started cursing and even lost his appetite for breakfast.
