Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Shen Wuji and Shen Yao immediately looked at each other and started to flatter Gu Chan.

"Second brother, isn't he just a dog raised by the prince? You are so capable, why should you be afraid of him? Just go and fight him."

"Yes, Second Uncle, don't think too much. The prince's dog is no match for you!"

"boom!"

As soon as the two finished talking, before Gu Chan could reply, Shen Sanfeng's face turned ashen and he slammed his fist on the table, scaring the two of them.

Staring at the two men fiercely, Shen Sanfeng roared, "Get out of here, and stop talking nonsense to me. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will beat you up."

"Just go, is there any need to be so fierce?" Shen Wuji's face turned pale, he complained, and quickly got up and ran away.

Shen Yaoze didn't dare to say a word. He followed his father and ran as fast as a dog.

Gu Chan couldn't help laughing and hurriedly persuaded him, "Okay, godfather, they are just like that, why do you bother with them?"

"Oh! I must have been unlucky in my previous life, so I met two such top-notch people in this life." Shen Sanfeng sighed.

"Ha ha……"

Gu Chan was so amused that she burst out laughing on the spot.

Shen Sanfeng suppressed his discomfort and said solemnly, "Well, I'll go with you. If the new general makes things difficult for you, I can help you smooth things over."

"Forget it, you should deal with these things at home first! As for this matter, I have to face it myself. Otherwise, if he thinks I'm easy to bully, I will definitely suffer in the future." Gu Chan waved her hand and said.

"That's true. I'll send my men to take you there," said Shen Sanfeng.

Gu Chan nodded in agreement.

Then the two of them said no more. Gu Chan immediately said goodbye to Shen Sanfeng, left the Shen family in a carriage, and rushed to the Zhongyuan camp.

More than an hour later.

Gu Chan arrived outside the Zhongyuan camp.

At this time, the Central Plains camp had already been taken over by the new general, who led 100,000 soldiers under his command.

These 100,000 soldiers were drawn from barracks in various places. In other words, these troops were directly under the crown prince. Except for the current crown prince, it is probably difficult for others to have the ability to mobilize them.

Gu Chan came out of the carriage and said to his men sitting in front of the carriage, "Wait for me outside. I will come out after I see the general."

"Yes, Second Master." The subordinate responded respectfully.

Gu Chan immediately walked towards the camp gate.

Not surprisingly, she was stopped by two soldiers guarding the door as soon as she reached it.

After learning the purpose of her visit, the soldier standing on the left immediately went in to report. After about half an incense stick of time, the soldier came out and took Gu Chan to the command building in the camp.

Just like when Xuanyuan Qing came here, the new general also occupied the command building and turned it into his own administrative office building. Gu Chan had no idea what was so good about this command building that made them like it so much.

Soon Gu Chan arrived at the meeting hall on the top floor of the command building.

At this moment, a man over 1.85 meters tall, very strong, with a square face, wearing a white robe, was sitting at the first seat behind his desk, holding a pen and concentrating on writing memorials.

Gu Chan followed the soldiers into the hall, and the soldiers reported, "General, the person has been brought here."

"Yeah!" the man responded without even raising his head.

The soldiers saluted and left.

Gu Chan did not dare to neglect him, and immediately clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Hello, General. I am Gu Chan, the new imperial envoy appointed by the Emperor to serve as the emperor's new envoy to the Tiancang Kingdom. I have come here specially to say hello to you."

"I heard that you defeated an enemy force of 100,000 with only 800 cavalrymen in Lianyin Mountain. Is that true?" the general said indifferently.

As he said this, he still did not look up at Gu Chan. Instead, he continued to write the memorial without stopping his hands.

Gu Chan said in a deep voice, "It's not that exaggerated. It was just a tricky victory using some strategies."

"I don't care whether you won by chance or exaggerating. I just want to tell you that I am now the general of Zhongyuan City. From now on, under my rule, all of you in Zhongyuan City had better behave yourself, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless." The general paused and suddenly said cruelly.

Gu Chan was immediately speechless.

Get off the horse!

This is definitely a way to intimidate her!

She never expected that after she took the initiative to say hello and show goodwill, others would give her a slap in the face. How embarrassed is she?

Gu Chan was furious and said coldly, "General, I'm sorry. I have to go to Jiangnan in a few days and I won't be back for a long time. And this time I have to go to Jiangnan to complete the task given to me by the emperor. When I come back, I will probably move to Kyoto with my family. After all, I have a mansion in Kyoto given by the emperor, so you don't have to say these things to me."

"Hahaha……"

The general stopped what he was doing and immediately burst into laughter.

Then he looked up at Gu Chan while laughing, as if he was looking at a fool.

Gu Chan frowned and asked, "General, what are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at your stupidity. Do you really think that the emperor has assigned you a task to go to the south of the Yangtze River to raise 5 billion taels of silver to aid the border?" The general said with a grin.

"What is written in the imperial edict, could there be any mistakes?" Gu Chan asked, spreading his hands.

The general sneered and said, "The emperor is seriously ill now, and the prince is the regent. The imperial edict was issued by the prince. If you go to Jiangnan, you will die in half a year. I am not afraid to tell you clearly that you want to help the ninth prince to oppose the prince, and you will only die in the end."

"General, what are you talking about? From the beginning to the end, I have been helping the Tiancang Kingdom. How could I be helping the Ninth Prince? Moreover, in this border battle, I risked my life to repel the enemy and recover the border. How could the prince treat me like this?" Gu Chan gritted her teeth and shouted angrily.

At this moment, she clenched her fists tightly, and the anger in her heart was like the endless waves of the river, or like the flooding of the Yellow River, which was out of control.

I think she had devoted herself to the country and the people, and put her life and death aside.

But now she is defined as helping the Ninth Prince to oppose the Crown Prince?

How can this not make people angry?

The general didn't care about her at all. He just said coldly, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Go back and deal with your affairs quickly. Leave for Jiangnan as soon as possible. I don't need to waste so much time talking to a dying man."

"Okay, okay, then I, Gu Chan, will make my words here today. I will raise enough money for border relief within half a year. Please tell the Crown Prince that since he wants me to help the Ninth Prince to fight against him, I will be happy to serve you." Gu Chan said harshly with a sullen face.

After saying that, she forced herself to suppress her anger, turned around and strode away.

The general sat there, watching her leaving, a sinister grin on his face.
