Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

After realizing this, Xuanyuan Lie no longer dared to act cool in front of Gu Chan and could only admit his mistake.

"I was wrong yesterday. Can't I just admit my mistake? Please stop getting angry. I really can't stand it if you keep getting angry."

"Tsk! I thought you were so tough! You're just like this." Gu Chan said disdainfully.

After she finished speaking, she looked at the people behind her and ordered, "Okay, push this thing back! Then build me another cannon, and then each of the 100 cannons must be of better quality than this first one."

"Yes, Manager Gu." Everyone responded in unison.

Then, led by Qin Muyang, they pushed the cannon away.

Wan Peng stayed where he was, ready to take Gu Chan's orders at any time.

Gu Chan called the pale-faced abbot to her side and said, "Don't look so sad. Don't worry, I won't blow up your temple in vain. I will give you 100,000 taels of silver as compensation, which is enough for you to repair the temple and improve everyone's meals."

"Thank you, Manager Gu." said the host with a smile.

He didn't expect that Gu Chan was so generous!

Originally, a small temple like Lingjiu Temple, even if it was bombed like this, would not cost 100,000 taels of silver to repair it, right? Wasn't it obvious that Gu Chan was the God of Wealth who was giving away money?

In his joy, he even said to Gu Chan with a smile, "Manager Gu, how about this? After I am well, you can bring people to blow it up again. You can blow it up as many times as you want!"

"Haha... forget it, forget it. One time is enough. My money doesn't come from the wind. One hundred thousand taels of silver for one explosion is still a bit much for me." Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

The abbot laughed loudly, said no more, and quickly took his people back to the temple to clean up.

Gu Chan turned to Wan Peng and said, "Go to Wanyuanfang right away and bring a hundred thousand taels of silver to the host. We can't delay paying this money."

"Okay, Brother Gu, I'll go then." Wan Peng nodded.

After saying this, he quickly mounted his horse and went to Wanyuanfang to get the silver notes.

The two subordinates stayed and helped Gu Chan walk to Bai Jingtian and others.

Bai Jingtian suppressed his anger and said, "What kind of weapon is this? How can it be so powerful?"

"This is called a cannon. It's a new weapon I developed. It's much more powerful than the spears on the battlefield." Gu Chan said proudly.

"Then you can't use it to blow up our master!" Bai Jingtian said helplessly.

Gu Chan suddenly had an idea and said, "I've already told you that this is a great gift for him. Why do you still look unhappy? If it were me, I would have jumped for joy a long time ago."

"You almost blew me to death, and I should be happy?" Xuanyuan Lie got off Bai Jingtian's back and glared at Gu Chan and roared angrily.

Gu Chan said with a wicked smile, "Think about it, this Jiangnan area is your fiefdom, right? If the soldiers in your fiefdom are equipped with this new weapon, won't you be invincible in Tiancang Kingdom in the future? Who would dare to fight you? And with this thing, even if you lead your soldiers to attack other countries, you will have at least a 70% chance of winning!"

"Hiss... That's right! If this thing is put on the battlefield, wouldn't it be invincible?" Xuanyuan Lie was stunned at first, then he reached out and touched his chin and hissed secretly.

He had personally experienced the power of the cannon just now. Such a large temple was destroyed after being hit by twenty or thirty cannons. So if the shells hit a crowd of people, wouldn't it be enough to blow up a bunch of people with just one shot?

With this thing, his Jiangnan area will be stable! Even the prince will not dare to provoke him.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Lie's anger instantly subsided. He immediately reached out and patted Gu Chan on the shoulder and said, "Okay, since you have done a great job in offering the treasure, I won't bother with you today."

"No, let's be frank. These cannons of mine are not cheap, at least 10 million taels of silver each. I just asked them to build 100 cannons. You have to give me at least 1 billion taels of silver." Gu Chan said, crossing his arms.

"Great! You're really brave to make money from me!" The smile on Xuanyuan Lie's face disappeared, and his face became gloomy again.

Gu Chan sneered and said, "Just tell me whether you want to buy it or not! If you don't want to buy it, I will sell it to the prince. Anyway, I will use this money to help the border. I believe that the prince will definitely be willing to buy it."

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you. I'll buy all your hundred cannons." Xuanyuan Lie said quickly, waving his hand.

No matter what, he can't let such a powerful weapon fall into the hands of the prince!

Gu Chan stretched out her hand to him and said, "Pay first, then ship. No credit."

"You..." Xuanyuan Lie was so angry that he was speechless.

Bai Jingtian quickly tried to smooth things over, "Gu Chan, don't be so anxious. This 1 billion taels of silver is not a small amount. The master can't come up with it in a short time. You have to give him time to prepare!"

"Okay, I'll give you three days to prepare. The 10 billion taels of silver must be delivered to Chang Wei, the eldest son of the Chang family, within three days, otherwise it will be too late. Anyway, there will be many people who want to buy this thing from me in the future, so you won't make a difference." Gu Chan said, retracting her hand.

Bai Jingtian nodded in agreement.

Gu Chan didn't want to pay any more attention to them, so she ordered her two men to help her turn around and leave.

Xuanyuan Lie stood there, watching her leave and cursing inwardly, "You bastard, I'm going to kill you one day."

"Master, don't be so excited. It seems that he has something in his head. It will be very beneficial for you to stabilize the Jiangnan area, enhance your combat power, and seize the throne. You'd better win him over. Otherwise, once he turns to the prince, I'm afraid your life will be difficult." Bai Jingtian reminded at the right time.

Xuanyuan Lie let out a long breath, temporarily suppressed his inner anger, and could only choose to endure it.

He also admitted that what Bai Jingtian said was absolutely correct. At this critical juncture, he could not allow any problems to happen in the Jiangnan area. He could only stabilize Gu Chan for the time being, lest Gu Chan cause him any big trouble, which would do him no good.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Lie said no more. He immediately took Bai Jingtian and several palace guards and left Lingjiu Temple and rushed to the Censorate to find Yan Xishan.

In the afternoon dusk.

When Gu Chan returned to Wanyuanfang to rest, Wan Peng came to Lingjiu Temple with 100,000 taels of silver and compensated the abbot.

The host was so happy to get so much money that he couldn't stop smiling.

Wan Peng stared at him and asked, "Host, can you tell me who the young man who has a grudge against Brother Gu is?"

"Donor Wan, I give you a piece of advice. It's better not to ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Just do your own thing." The host restrained his smile and said seriously.

"It seems that this person's identity is not simple!" Wan Peng said in a deep voice.

The host glanced at him, said no more, and led people to carry the banknote box away.

Wan Peng could only leave silently, not daring to ask any more questions.
