Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

In the evening, when Gu Chan brought Wei Xing and the other two over, Cheng Hao and the other two had already come with their luggage and were waiting in the lobby of the first courtyard after entering the gate.

Wei Xing and the other man followed Gu Chan into the lord's mansion and were stunned by what they saw.

They never dreamed that this lord's mansion would be so big and so luxurious.

The two mysterious beasts following behind also showed surprise.

Everyone entered the lobby together and sat down. Gu Chan said, "You can choose your own place! Each person will live in a courtyard. There are many courtyards here anyway, so try not to leave them empty."

"Yes, master." Everyone responded in unison.

Then Wei Xing, Ren Nanshan and Yuan Jie left together and went to choose a yard.

Cheng Hao and Yuan Ying still sat there motionless.

The gorilla sat next to Gu Chan and said, "What about us?"

"Why don't you two just live with me in the East Courtyard? Do you really have to choose a courtyard?" Gu Chan said speechlessly.

[Tsk! What if we find a mysterious beast friend here in the future and it wants to come live here? Can it still live in your East Courtyard?] The gorilla complained.

Gu Chan had no way to deal with it, so she could only wave her hand and said, "Alright! You two can go and pick one! From now on, your yard will be specially designated as the mysterious beast yard in the lord's mansion."

“That’s right!” the gorilla laughed.

"But remember! You can't poop or poop everywhere. You have to maintain hygiene. Otherwise, I will take back the yard and lock you up in the warehouse." Gu Chan reminded.

The gorilla nodded quickly, then it smiled nastily and left with the lizard Sogou to go to the back yard.

After they left, Gu Chan looked at Cheng Hao and Yuan Ying and said, "Why don't you go and pick some?"

"Master, after we recover from our injuries, we still want to go back to South City."

"Yes! We are worried about the people in the South City area."

Cheng Hao and Yuan Ying answered in succession, expressing their determination to return to Nancheng to Gu Chan.

Gu Chan frowned, the smile on her face disappeared, and she felt troubled.

Without the Crown Prince's permission, the Nanxian King and his son would certainly not dare to arrest Cheng Hao and Yuan Ying. So now if they want to go back to Nancheng and continue to stay in the county government to work for the people, it may not be an easy thing.

Cheng Hao said solemnly, "Master, please find a way to help us get back. The people of Nancheng cannot let the Nanxian King and his son bully us!"

"Okay, then you guys stay here first and recuperate. I'll think of a solution." Gu Chan nodded in agreement.

Cheng Hao and Yuan Ying finally felt relieved and went to find a yard at the back to stay and recuperate temporarily.

Half an hour later, everyone had chosen a courtyard of their choice and started to clean up. Gu Chan also moved into the largest east courtyard.

Early the next morning.

While Gu Chan was still sleeping, many people in Jiangnan City had already come to wait outside the lord's mansion.

Wei Xing led Ren Nanshan and Yuan Jie to begin assessing everyone, selecting guards, maids, and servants. The division of labor among the three of them was also very clear. Wei Xing was the chief steward of the lord's mansion, Ren Nanshan was the commander of the guards of the lord's mansion, and Yuan Jie was the deputy chief steward of the lord's mansion.

The three of them arranged everything properly, and Gu Chan didn't need to worry about anything at all.

Just look, when Gu Chan got up, washed, and came to the front yard lobby, there were already many qualified maids and servants starting to clean.

Seeing this, the white fox couldn't help but say happily, "Master, these three people are really capable. They can manage such a large mansion in an orderly manner. It seems that you have a good eye for selecting people."

"That's right. Don't you see who I am?" Gu Chan said proudly.

[So, what plans do you have for me today?] White Fox asked.

Gu Chan glanced at it and said, "Why, do you have things of your own to do?"

[I want to find Brother Gorilla and Brother Snake to help me improve my strength. I happened to see a big garden behind us last night. We can practice there and won’t disturb you.] White Fox said.

Gu Chan was immediately delighted when she heard this. She hugged it and said lovingly, "My dear! You are so hardworking. As your master, I am so happy."

[Master, then I will go? ] the white fox said happily.

"Go ahead! You can practice with them in the lord's mansion from now on. If it's nothing serious, I won't look for you." Gu Chan waved her hand and said.

The white fox thanked him quickly, ran out of the lobby happily, and went to the backyard to look for the gorilla and the lizard Sogou.

Gu Chan did not continue to stay in the lord's mansion, but asked someone to prepare a fast horse and prepared to go to the Jiangnan camp to find Nan Xing Kuang.

But what she didn't expect was that as soon as she walked out of the lord's mansion and got on her horse, she saw Yan Xishan and a team of officials rushing over, escorting a large iron cage.

Yuan Jie walked up to Gu Chan and said, "Master, what tricks is this dog official playing now?"

"How would I know? I don't know what he is bringing with him." Gu Chan said unhappily.

"Are you trying to please me again?" Yuan Jie said disdainfully.

Gu Chan was speechless.

At this time, Yan Xishan had already led his men to the outside of the City Lord's Mansion.

Waving his hand to order the team to stop, he quickly got off the horse, ran quickly to Gu Chan and knelt down to pay homage.

Gu Chan waved her hand and said, "Get up! No need to be so polite."

"Thank you, Lord." Yan Xishan stood up from the ground.

Looking back at the people standing in the back who had come to answer the call, he flattered them, "As expected of you, Lord, you really are worthy of being called upon! Hundreds of people have come to answer the call so early in the morning. This is enough to show that you have really won the support of the people."

"Okay, stop flattering me. I don't buy it. Just tell me straight! Why did you come to me?" Gu Chan said impatiently.

She hated the flattery of officials, businessmen and wealthy people the most. It made her feel sick.

Yan Xishan smiled awkwardly, and quickly pointed at the black beast curled up in the big iron cage and said, "Lord, this is a top-quality beast that was carefully selected by all the officials in the Jiangnan area after more than a month of careful selection. I brought it here specially to present to you."

"Wow! You guys are so cunning! Giving me such a big gift really makes it difficult for me! Should I accept it or not?" Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

"Lord, this is a gift from all of us. Please accept it. And to put it bluntly, it's just a flying mysterious beast mount, not a very big gift." Yan Xishan said seriously.

Gu Chan looked at the black beast trapped in the iron cage with a stiff face, without a smile on her face at all.

These bastards were obviously trying to bribe her, and she didn't want to accept this gift at all.
