Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Ever since the spies sent out during the day found out that Gu Chan would set off with the caravan in the afternoon, he brought five powerful assassins here in advance and ambushed in the post station, intending to wait until the middle of the night to secretly take Gu Chan's life.

Unexpectedly, Gu Chan did not play by the rules and did not stop at the post station at all. Instead, she insisted on rushing to the Chenghuang Temple in front of her which was leaky on all sides.

Look, now he is sitting at the table in the compartment, pounding the table with his fists in anger.

"This damn Gu Chan is really cunning. It's snowing heavily outside, but he doesn't want to stay at the post station. He has to stay at the broken city imperial temple. Is he sick?"

After cursing, Zheng Shixian looked at the five assassins standing in front of him and shouted, "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Hurry up and ambush us. You must kill Gu Chan tonight."

"Yes." The five killers responded in unison.

Then they quietly left the post station and headed towards the Chenghuang Temple ahead.

"Gu Chan, you dare to dismiss me from my post and cut off my financial resources. I will kill you miserably at the hands of an assassin tonight." Zheng Shixian said gritting his teeth as he sat there.

After saying this, a vicious grin spread across his face.

Half an hour later.

Gu Chan and others came to the outside of the City Emperor Temple.

After settling the horses, everyone in the caravan entered the temple and built a fire to keep warm.

Seeing the two bodyguards still guarding the gate professionally, Gu Chan said to them, "Don't be so nervous, come and sit down by the fire and eat."

"Boss, this kind of place is not safe. Usually criminals will choose this kind of place to rob goods." Cheng Hao said cautiously.

"You can sleep well tonight. The two of us will keep watch over you. When we set off tomorrow, we will get into the carriage and sleep there," said Dilin.

Gu Chan nodded with satisfaction, feeling that she had made the right decision in hiring these two bodyguards.

At that moment, she also became curious about the two of them.

Forcing the two to sit down, Gu Chan asked, "I'm very curious about what you've been through in the past. I feel like you're not ordinary people and shouldn't be hanging around in a place like the refugee zone in Zhongyuan City!"

"To be honest, we both used to be escorts working for the Zhenxing Escort Agency in Zhongyuan City. But later on, the boss of our agency died of illness, and the agency was bought by Hua Qianshao. We couldn't stand his character, so we left and had to live in the refugee zone," Cheng Hao explained.

After hearing this, Gu Chan and others finally understood that these two men were actually bodyguards in the past. No wonder their words and actions were so professional, which was not comparable to amateurs at all.

Ma Zhengze sat aside and asked, "What happened to Hua Qian Shao? I think he's a pretty good person! He once treated me and the boss to a meal! He was quite polite."

"This is all his disguise. He sells medicine privately, but he has cheated many decent women. He is also very ambitious. He not only wants to unify the medical field in the Central Plains, but also wants to get involved in other industries. Anyone who does not obey him will inevitably be killed by him."

"We suspect that the owner of Zhenxing Escort Agency was killed by him, but we don't dare to speak nonsense because we have no evidence!"

Cheng Hao and Di Lin said in succession with stiff faces.

Gu Chan listened and nodded secretly.

The Hua Qianshao she had seen before was completely different from the Hua Qianshao described by these two people. It was no wonder why the three old bastards in the Zhongyuan Medical Firm wanted to use her to deal with Hua Qianshao.

Thinking of this, Gu Chan asked again, "What about Yan Han? What do you think of him?"

"We have no connection with this person, so we don't know much about him." Cheng Hao shook his head.

"Well, it seems that I have to be more careful about Hua Qianshao in the future." Gu Chan said to herself.

Cheng Hao and Di Lin calmed down to eat and drink. After filling their stomachs, they went to guard the door to ensure everyone's safety.

Gu Chan shifted her gaze to the two women sitting opposite her.

The two riders she chose were Yuan Ying and Yuan Jie, a pair of sisters. They were both tall and strong women. To use modern words, they were not southern little potatoes but Northeastern tigresses.

They are all over 1.65 meters tall, more robust than the average woman, and have a slightly darker skin. However, they all look quite decent and are definitely the type of women who are pleasing to the eye.

Seeing that Gu Chan had been staring at them, Yuan Ying was the first to say embarrassedly, "Boss, why are you staring at us?"

"Yeah! We feel a little embarrassed now." Yuan Jie said awkwardly.

Gu Chan came back to her senses and said with a wry smile, "They both talked about their pasts, so why don't you just stand there? Talk about it! Anyway, looking at you, even a fool can tell that you are not from the Central Plains."

"Ah! How did you figure that out, boss?" Yuan Ying asked in surprise.

"Nonsense, women in the Central Plains are generally petite and speak in a gentle voice, unlike you, who are not only tall and strong, but also speak in such a rough manner." Gu Chan said unhappily.

The two sisters burst into awkward laughter, not knowing what to say.

Gu Chan said, "If I'm not mistaken, you guys are also fleeing here, right?"

"Well, we were originally from Kyoto, but because of something happening at home, we had no choice but to flee to Zhongyuan City." Yuan Ying said.

"So what happened in your family?" Gu Chan asked.

Yuan Ying shook his head and said, "Boss, it's not convenient for us to talk about this. I hope you won't force it."

"Okay! Everyone has their own secrets, so I won't ask any more questions. Just follow me and I promise you won't go hungry." Gu Chan said with a smile.

The two sisters nodded quietly.

After that, Gu Chan did not continue chatting with them, but instead started chatting with other people in the caravan and got to know their situations in depth.

And the fact was just as she expected. There were twelve people in her caravan. Except for Cheng Hao, Di Lin and the two sisters Yuan Ying, the other eight were from the refugee area in Zhongyuan City. They were just ordinary people who worked to make a living and did not have any other troublesome things.

In other words, Gu Chan has a very accurate eye for people.

Ever since she was selecting people outside Liu Heimei's shop, she had seen at a glance that Cheng Hao and his three companions were by no means ordinary people. Now the facts have proved her guess.

She now only hoped that these four people were talents who could be put to good use, otherwise there would be little point in her forming a caravan.

An hour later.

Everyone was sleepy, so they snuggled up to each other by the fire and fell into a deep sleep.

Gu Chan was also holding the little white fox and leaning against Ma Zheng, resting quietly.

Cheng Hao and Di Lin were still guarding the door diligently.

The five assassins sent by Zheng Shixian had already hidden in the woods on both sides of the Chenghuang Temple.

Seeing that the two bodyguards guarding the gate were still very energetic, they did not rush to show up, but continued to hide and wait for the opportunity.
