Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Nan Xing Kuang did not explain, but just said with a faint smile.

"Second Prince, you don't need to ask too much about who my senior brother's beloved woman is. You are here to rescue him today, not to ask about these things."

"General, I was indeed rash before. Please forgive me if I have offended you." Xuanyuan Lie apologized with a frown.

If he wants to completely control the Jiangnan area, he must overcome Nan Xing Kuang.

So in this situation, he had no choice but to put on a shameless face.

Nan Xing Kuang sneered and said, "Okay, since the Second Prince has apologized to me, then I will naturally give you this face. Bai Jingtian is the commander of the imperial guards. For the sake of you and Gu Chan, I will spare his life. As for the others..."

"Come here, drag them all away and behead them."

Several soldiers immediately rushed in upon hearing the order, preparing to take down the several palace guards hanging in the air and drag them out to behead them.

"Master, help!"

"Master, although our death is not a pity, we will not be willing to die like this."

"Yes, Master. We would rather use our lives to help you completely conquer the Jiangnan area. If we die like this, it would be unfair for us to die."

Several palace guards started shouting.

Everyone present could see that they were not the kind of people who were afraid of death, and they were unwilling to die like this. This time, they risked their lives to escort Xuanyuan Lie all the way to Jiangnan City, just to help him completely control the Jiangnan area and push him to the supreme throne.

If they die like this now, how can they rest in peace?

Xuanyuan Lie's face turned pale. Facing these guards who were loyal to him, how could he just watch them die in vain?

At that moment, he immediately stood up, waved his hand and said, "General, wait a minute."

"Second Prince, attacking a military camp at night is a serious crime. I only killed a few of them, which is already giving you face. You'd better not make things difficult for me." Nan Xing Kuang said coldly.

Xuanyuan Lie was speechless and didn't know what to say at all.

He was the one who was unreasonable in the first place. Now it was simply impossible for him to keep these loyal subordinates by himself.

So at this moment, he could only look at Yan Xishan and Guo Huai standing below.

Unexpectedly, these two pig-heads didn't dare to speak at all when faced with such strong pressure from Nan Xing Kuang. They just stood there with their heads down, secretly reaching out to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads.

In the end, Xuanyuan Lie had no choice but to look at Gu Chan.

Gu Chan laughed and said, "General, instead of killing them, I have a way that will better relieve your anger."

"What's the method? Tell me about it." Nanxing Kuang said with great interest.

"Let them go swimming in the Jiangnan River, and then let the second prince take a fishing rod to fish. He will spare as many people as he can catch within the specified time. If he fails, he will behead them. Doesn't this give face to the second prince and relieve the general's anger?" Gu Chan said with a grin.

"Hahaha……"

As soon as she said this, the deputy generals sitting on both sides couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Nan Xing Kuang's face was originally icy, but now he was amused by Gu Chan. He slapped the table with his big hand and laughed, "Okay, this is a good idea. How many people can be saved depends on the Second Prince's ability. This general is also very happy to relieve his anger."

"Second Prince, it's up to you now." Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

Xuanyuan Lie stood there, too embarrassed to speak.

Dry!

At this moment, he really felt like he was in a dilemma. He had lived a life of luxury all his life, so how could he have ever caught a fish?

If he were asked to hook these palace guards, he wouldn't know where to start.

Nan Xing Kuang looked at him and said, "How about it, Second Prince? Are you satisfied with Gu Chan's way of dealing with this?"

"Well... of course I am satisfied. I am really grateful to the general for giving me such face. Then I will give it a try, just some fishing." Xuanyuan Lie said with a stiff face.

"Okay, come here, take them to the river, and everyone follow me to watch the second prince fishing." Nanxing waved his hand and gave the order.

All the lieutenants stood up and responded in unison.

Then everyone followed Nan Xing Kuang and escorted the palace guards out of the General's Hall.

After a while, everyone arrived at a shore behind the Jiangnan camp.

In front of this shore is a backwater bay, where the soldiers of the Jiangnan camp often go to bathe. It is four or five meters deep, but this depth is nothing for the soldiers in the Jiangnan area who are familiar with water.

But this is a bit scary for people coming from Kyoto in the north.

In Kyoto, since it is located in the north and there are few rivers, most people are poor swimmers. Although these palace guards are not poor swimmers, their swimming skills are not much better.

Therefore, when they were taken to the shore and looked at the green backwater in front of them, they couldn't help swallowing and a look of fear appeared on their faces.

At this time, a soldier brought a fishing rod and handed it to Xuanyuan Lie.

Nanxing Kuang waved his hand and said, "Come on! Push them all into the water."

"Ah? General, you're not going to untie the ropes for them?" Xuanyuan Lie asked in shock.

Several eunuch guards were forced to stand on the shore, all of them were tied up with ropes, like they were tied up like hairy crabs. If they were pushed into the water like this, how long could they last?

Xuanyuan Lie and the other two thought that Nanxing Kuang would at least untie their ropes and then push them into the water. This really surprised them.

Nan Xing Kuang sneered and said, "If you untie their ropes, they can swim back to the shore by themselves. What do you need to fish for them?"

"Yes, Second Prince, your request is too much. The general has already given you a lot of face, so don't go any further!" Gu Chan shouted.

Xuanyuan Lie glared at her angrily and whispered, "Damn it, are you helping me or him?"

"If I hadn't helped you, they would have been beheaded just now. They were still waiting for you to come here to fish them out! I tell you, now is your time to show yourself. You'd better fish them out as soon as possible. Otherwise, if they drown, it means you are incompetent. Look at all the soldiers present here, who will obey you?" Gu Chan said unhappily.

"You..." Xuanyuan Lie was speechless.

Gu Chan added, "This can be considered a test from the general. If you can't even save these people, you are not qualified to unify Jiangnan in their eyes."

"Master, what Gu Chan said is right. Now it all depends on you. I believe you." Bai Jingtian also came over and said.

Xuanyuan Lie suddenly felt a surge of blood in his heart, and decided that he must rely on himself today to rescue all these loyal subordinates to shore.
