Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

When Gu Chan arrived at the Buddhist temple, she found Wei Xing and the nine-fingered old beggar chatting animatedly.

She walked over to the two of them and sat down, and asked curiously, "What are you guys talking about so happily?"

"Talking about national affairs!" Wei Xing said with a strange smile.

"What national event?" Gu Chan asked curiously.

Wei Xing blinked and said, "Let's talk about when the old emperor will abdicate and whether the prince can successfully ascend the throne and become the new emperor of Tiancang Kingdom."

"That depends on how many princes have died. Now the most competitive Second Prince has committed suicide by taking poison. I don't know who will die among the remaining Ninth Prince and those other competitive princes." Gu Chan said with his hands spread out.

History always repeats itself in a surprising way. If the prince wants to ascend to the throne, he must eliminate the threats around him. Otherwise, even if he sits on the throne, he will feel uneasy and uneasy.

The nine-fingered beggar laughed and said, "Then you try to guess the emperor's intentions! Who do you think the emperor wants to sit on the throne the most?"

"Nonsense, if I were the emperor, I would definitely pass the throne to that brat Xuanyuan Qing. He is both civil and military, and he is responsible to the people. Tiancang Kingdom will only have a future if it is in his hands." Gu Chan said unhappily.

The nine-fingered old beggar suddenly fell silent, closed his eyes and chanted silently.

Gu Chan laughed strangely and said, "Old Boss, I've never seen you worship Buddha every day before! How come you've been so diligent recently? I often see you chanting in front of the Buddha statue!"

"Is the Second Prince dead? I thought of chanting more sutras to pray for his soul to be reborn. After all, during the years he was the lord of Jiangnan, the people in the area did not have a hard time, so we can't say that he was completely a bad person." The nine-fingered beggar explained with a smile.

Gu Chan scratched her head. Although she didn't quite understand the meaning of the old man's words, she admitted that what he said was indeed true.

Although Xuanyuan Lie was arrogant and concerned about his reputation, he still had his principles in dealing with the people. Therefore, after he committed suicide by taking poison, no one in the Jiangnan area said anything bad about him. Instead, they all felt that his death was a pity.

Wei Xing reached out and touched Gu Chan, saying, "Let's go! Let's go to the courtyard outside to talk, and don't disturb the old gang leader from chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha."

"Okay." Gu Chan nodded in agreement.

Then the two of them got up and left the Buddhist hall, and sat down at the stone table in the yard outside.

Gu Chan asked, "Why did you come to me so early in the morning to discuss something?"

"Aren't you a lord? Then there's no need to hide our relationship! You have to find me a back door and help me unify the Qingpu and Hongpu in the north of Jiangnan City." Wei Xing said with a grin.

"Oh my god, with your ability and means, do you still need to use the back door to get here? Are you insulting yourself! Or are you insulting me? How could the first general under my command, whom I, Gu Chan, brought all the way from Zhongyuan City, not have this little ability?" Gu Chan put a high hat on him.

Wei Xing was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that Gu Chan would play by her own rules.

Originally, he wanted to unify all the Qingpu and Hongpu in the north of Jiangnan City. As long as the lord Gu Chan said a word, it would be an easy thing. But judging from the current situation, it seems that Gu Chan has no intention of opening this back door for him at all!

This made him look very embarrassed.

Gu Chan said with a wicked smile, "Okay, go back and work hard! You don't need to ask me for a backdoor for this matter. Now is the time for the four of you to prove your abilities, so don't embarrass me."

"Okay! Since you said so, I have no choice." Wei Xing said helplessly with his hands spread out.

Gu Chan was about to get up and go back to sleep.

Wei Xing suddenly reached out and grabbed her, saying, "Don't worry! I have something else to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Gu Chan asked puzzledly.

Wei Xing tilted his head to look inside the Buddhist hall, then whispered, "I have a feeling that the old leader of the Beggars' Sect is not simple. Since I came here this morning, I have been talking to him about the affairs of the Tiancang Kingdom. I found that he knows a lot of national affairs clearly, and has unique insights. You have to be careful of him."

"Indeed, I felt that something was wrong with him before, especially when he gave me those ideas. Every one of them really hit the mark and helped me escape danger every time. I even suspected that he was a noble person I met after coming to Jiangnan." Gu Chan said with a frown.

At first she thought that the noble person shown in her hexagram should be Chang Wei, but later she found that Chang Wei did not seem to meet the standards of a noble person.

On the other hand, the nine-fingered old beggar was always able to give her the best guidance when she was in the most difficult times, so that she would not lose her direction. So now she also felt that what Wei Xing said was correct.

Wei Xing grinned and said, "Just be careful, I'm going back now."

"Go! Take care of those entertainment venues in the north of Jiangnan City as soon as possible. They will be of great use to me in the future." Gu Chan reminded.

Wei Xing nodded affirmatively.

Then the two of them didn't say anything more. He immediately stood up, said goodbye to Gu Chan and left.

After he left, Gu Chan suppressed her doubts and went back to the back room to catch up on her sleep.

Time passed quickly, and half a month went by in the blink of an eye.

During this half month, Gu Chan lived an easy life every day. Because of the tax reduction, the people in the Jiangnan area worked hard and earned more money than before. Everyone supported Gu Chan, which helped her to secure her position as the lord of Jiangnan.

Yan Xishan and Guo Huai, according to the previous plan, organized dozens of flying mysterious beast teams. Assuming that there were five flying mysterious beasts in each team, these dozens of flying mysterious beast teams had hundreds of flying mysterious beasts.

Every day, Gu Chan would have five flying beast teams set out in the dark to fly over the top of the prince's naval army and sprinkle oil. Because it was still winter, the cold air would come in at night and mix with the oil, naturally turning into oil rain that fell down, dousing all the boats of the naval army.

This evening.

Just as Gu Chan was eating dinner in the Zen room in the backyard, Yan Xishan ran over to her in a hurry and said, "Lord, something terrible has happened."

"What's wrong?" Gu Chan put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked.

"The prince's naval army already has five large ships entering the Tiancang River from the tributaries." Yan Xishan said anxiously while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Gu Chan's face darkened. "How come it's so fast? Didn't the people from the Flying Mystic Beast Team who went to add fuel last night come back to report that they are still floating on the tributary?"

"We can't help it. There's a strong wind tonight and the five big ships have big mainsails, so they're running very fast with the wind. The dozen or so ships behind them are smaller and their mainsails aren't that big either, so they're running slower," Yan Xishan explained.

"Then who is leading the five large ships that have entered the Tiancang River?" Gu Chan asked.

"It's King Nanxian and his son." Yan Xishan said with a serious face.

Gu Chan was stunned at first, then her stiff expression changed, and a cold smirk suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth.
