Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Early the next morning.

Just when Gu Chan was in the dilapidated temple on the East Street, sleeping soundly in the haystack with the white fox in her arms.

A luxurious carriage slowly drove to the entrance of the dilapidated temple and stopped.

Xuanyuan Lie and the other two got off the carriage and stood at the door in a daze.

This temple was so dilapidated and filled with foul odors that the three of them couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses with their hands. They really didn't want to step into such a dirty place.

Yan Xishan turned around and glared at the guard driving the carriage and said, "Are you sure that kid lives here?"

"Yes, sir, there is no doubt about it. He came back with the mysterious beast last night. I saw him and the mysterious beast walk into this dilapidated temple with my own eyes." The guard quickly assured.

"How can an imperial envoy live in such a place? If I were him, I would not be used to living there." Yan Xishan said with a puzzled look on his face.

He didn't know about the hard times Gu Chan had lived in Jiuyang Village before, and he thought that Gu Chan was born into a wealthy family, otherwise she wouldn't have reached her current status.

But in reality, Gu Chan had suffered so much, which was far beyond what the three of them could imagine.

Xuanyuan Lie had a gloomy face, and he endured the stench and said, "Alright, stop talking, let's go! Hurry up and take him to the Jiangnan camp. Bai Jingtian and the others are the strongest fighting force around me at the moment, and we must not let anything happen to them."

"Master, please." Yan Xishan said flatteringly.

Xuanyuan Lie had no choice but to walk in with the two of them.

Soon the three of them arrived at the dilapidated temple and in front of the haystack where Gu Chan was sleeping.

Yan Xishan hurriedly stepped forward, leaned over, and patted Gu Chan's shoulder, trying to wake her up.

Gu Chan deliberately pretended to have a stress reaction, opened her eyes with a whoosh, and then gave Yan Xishan a side kick in the chest, which sent him flying several meters away and hitting the ground heavily, causing him to cry out in pain.

Xuanyuan Lie and Guo Huai were so scared that they quickly stepped back.

Guo Huai yelled, "What are you doing?"

"Oh! Why are it you? I thought it was some other beggars who came to take over my territory and beat me! I even had a stress reaction. You should have called me! How could you just reach out and touch me!" Gu Chan said with an innocent look.

As she said this, she was trying so hard to hold back her laughter that it was really uncomfortable.

Not bad!

She beat up that bastard Yan Xishan on purpose. She felt that she had done him a great favor by not kicking the official to death.

Yan Xishan got up from the ground, rubbing his aching chest and complaining, "If you want to beat me up, just say so. Don't try this on me."

"Lord Yan! I am innocent! I really had a stress reaction." Gu Chan said with a smile.

"Okay, it won't hurt to suffer a little loss. No need to waste time talking to him. Let's get down to business." Xuanyuan Lie shouted angrily.

Yan Xishan shrank his neck in fear and could only swallow his loss in silence.

Gu Chan sat up straight and said, "Second Prince, what business do we have to discuss? You three are here so early in the morning. I am so flattered!"

"Stop talking nonsense. What am I talking to you about? Don't you know what's going on? My people have been captured by the Jiangnan camp. Hurry up and follow me to help me get them back." Xuanyuan Lie said coldly.

"Ah? There is such a thing? I really didn't know!" Gu Chan said with his hands spread out.

She herself had no contact with the Jiangnan camp, so naturally she didn't know what happened last night.

Xuanyuan Lie thought she was pretending to be stupid, and pointed at her and yelled, "Gu Chan, don't try this on me! I warn you, don't play tricks on me, and Bai Jingtian has to call you uncle no matter what. If he dies in the Jiangnan camp, how will you explain to your master when I see him?"

"No, what are you talking about? I'm completely confused! How would I know what happened?" Gu Chan said dumbfounded.

Guo Huai reached out to stop Xuanyuan Lie, signaling him not to be impulsive. Then the old man patiently told Gu Chan everything that happened last night.

"Hahaha……"

After Gu Chan understood the details, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

She said that when she was fishing by the river last night, she saw sparks coming out of the Jiangnan camp and shouts of killing. After all this time, she realized it was these three idiots who sent Bai Jingtian and his men to capture the general of the Jiangnan camp!

The result was that the general was so powerful that he defeated Bai Jingtian and detained him. Now the general asked the three of them to take her to retrieve the person, otherwise Bai Jingtian and the others would have to be chopped off and hung on the city wall.

"This is hilarious. You sent people to arrest someone, but instead of catching him, you got arrested. You three are truly once-in-a-century talents!"

While laughing, Gu Chan made sarcastic remarks.

The three of them stood there, their faces all turning green, and they really wanted to tear Gu Chan's mouth apart.

Gu Chan laughed for a while before she stopped and said, "Okay, okay! Since you guys are so sincere in inviting me, I will go with you and save my nephew."

"I ask you, did the prince ask you to collude with him to get rid of me?" Xuanyuan Lie asked with a stiff face.

"Hey! How many times have I told you that I am the Ninth Prince's man! I have nothing to do with the Crown Prince. If I want to help, I would only help the Ninth Prince. Why would I help the Crown Prince? It's obvious that the Crown Prince wants to get you and the Emperor wants to protect you. You can't even see this, so what are you doing?" Gu Chan said speechlessly.

The three of them were stunned when they heard it.

Yan Xishan was dumbfounded and said, "What on earth do you mean by that?"

"Think about it, the general of the Jiangnan camp has deployed troops and blocked the entire Jiangnan area. Wouldn't it be difficult for those extremely powerful masters sent by the prince to infiltrate? And the more difficult it is for these masters to infiltrate, the more difficult it will be to kill you, the second prince. So, the emperor still loves your second son very much." Gu Chan explained.

Xuanyuan Lie's eyes widened as he heard this, and he muttered to himself, "Is that really the case? Could it be that in this situation, my father is really protecting me in secret?"

"Second Prince, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. If it is true as he said, then why didn't the general of the Jiangnan camp come to show his loyalty to you, but instead went against you everywhere!" Guo Huai said.

"Yes! How do you explain this?" Xuanyuan Lie stared at Gu Chan and asked.

Gu Chan cursed, "You old thing, you are such a pig-head. Would His Majesty consider treating everyone equally? If the general really comes to the second prince to show his loyalty, what will happen if the crown prince finds out? Are you stupid?"

"Uh...this..." Guo Huai was completely dumbfounded and choked speechless.

Obviously, Gu Chan's analysis is the most reasonable one. On the contrary, what Guo Huai said is basically just smart-aleck nonsense.
