Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Gu Chan noticed that something was wrong with Ye Tianyang and couldn't help but ask.

"Lord Ye, why do I feel like you are not surprised at all?"

"What's so surprising about this? When I traveled to various countries in the early years, I had been to the capital of Tiancang Kingdom and dealt with the Crown Prince Xuanyuan Long. He was extremely ruthless and cruel. It was completely reasonable that the Second Prince would be forced to commit suicide by taking poison." Ye Tianyang said with a faint smile.

Gu Chan nodded with relief.

It was not until then that she learned that Ye Tianyang had visited the capital of Tiancang Kingdom in his early years and traveled to various countries.

No wonder he was so young and yet could succeed his father and become the new mayor of Yaoye City. He must be no ordinary person.

Gu Chan began to pay attention to Ye Tianyang, and returned to the main topic and said, "Okay, City Lord Ye, we won't say anything else, let's talk about the business just now!"

"Okay, I'll do this business with you, but if you can't help me solve the strange disease, don't say that I don't give you face." Ye Tianyang said seriously.

Gu Chan responded affirmatively.

Ye Tianyang said again, "By the way, what kind of weapon is this newly developed weapon you just mentioned?"

"Let's go! I'll take you to my merchant ship to have a look. I guarantee you'll like it. And with this weapon, I guarantee your border will be peaceful and others won't dare to invade easily." Gu Chan said confidently.

Ye Tianyang became interested and immediately stood up and left with her, heading downstairs.

Leng Yu had no idea what the two of them were talking about. At this moment, he could only lower his head and remain silent, following them out nervously.

Soon the three of them walked out of the inn and came to the Great China.

Gu Chan led Ye Tianyang and Leng Yu into the cabin and pushed out a red cannon and placed it on the bow.

As soon as this new weapon was unveiled, it immediately attracted people from all around to stop and watch. It was the first time for everyone to see such a thing and they had no idea what it was.

Leng Yu also circled around the red cannon for a long time, completely confused, and couldn't help but stare at Gu Chan and said, "Manager Gu, what on earth is this?"

"It's called the Red Cannon, and it's a new weapon I developed." Gu Chan said with a smile.

"It's pitch black, how can it be called Red?" Leng Yu asked puzzled.

Gu Chan said angrily, "You are stupid! During the war, the cloak behind the general was red, wasn't it? The general used it to kill the enemy, so it was called the Red Cannon, which means that it was the general's killing weapon."

"Oh! So that's how it is! That's quite meaningful." Leng Yu said with relief.

Gu Chan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. She looked at Ye Tianyang and said, "This is it. I will use one hundred guns to exchange for one hundred ships of food. What do you think?"

"How do you use this thing?" Ye Tianyang asked.

Gu Chan raised her head and looked around carefully before she stared at a small boat parked not far from the river ahead and said, "Do you see that boat? Send someone over there to buy it and ask the people around to stay away. Then I'll use this weapon to hit it and show you."

"I can use arrows to hit that small boat! According to what you said, isn't this thing just like an arrow?" Ye Tianyang said disdainfully.

Gu Chan rolled her eyes at him and said, "You arrange for someone to do it. I'll show you how to do it and you'll understand."

"Then Leng Yu, go buy that boat and clear out the people around it." Ye Tianyang waved his hand and ordered.

Leng Yu did not dare to be negligent. He responded respectfully and quickly got off the boat and ran over there.

The Great China was at least twenty or thirty feet away from the small boat. Leng Yu ran for a while before getting there. He then found the ship owner and bought the ship. Only then did he clear all the people from the ship.

At this time, more and more people gathered around. It was not because Gu Chan's red cannon was really attractive, but because the city lord Ye Tianyang was standing on the bow of the ship, and most people came to watch the city lord.

Gu Chan didn't care about anything else. After seeing that everything was ready, she immediately picked up a cannonball, stuffed it into the barrel, then took out a fire starter, blew it up, and lit the fuse at the back of the cannon.

"呲呲呲..."

As the fuse burned, a hissing sound slowly began to be heard.

"boom!"

When the fuse burned out, the next second, there was a deafening bang like thunder, and the shell whooshed out of the barrel and shot towards the small boat.

"Boom!"

When the shell hit the boat, it exploded with a loud bang, blowing the boat into pieces on the spot. The powerful gust of air generated by the explosion also forced the spectators around to retreat uncontrollably.

After the explosion dissipated, everyone stood there staring in amazement.

Then there were bursts of warm applause and praise all around.

"What a powerful weapon! It blew the ship into pieces with just one strike."

"This is much better than a bow and arrow."

"Are the soldiers of Tiancang Country now equipped with such powerful weapons?"

Listening to the bursts of admiration coming from all around, Gu Chan stood on the bow with her hands on her hips, smiling from ear to ear, feeling very proud.

Ye Tianyang came back to his senses and exclaimed, "This weapon is really powerful. Let alone a hundred, even if I have fifty, coupled with my Yaoye City's 100,000 defenders, I can defend this city like a rock."

"Of course. You have to know that the prince sent 200,000 soldiers to take over the Jiangnan area, but I blasted them back with a hundred red cannons and tens of thousands of soldiers. Otherwise, how could he have secretly controlled the dragons to cause floods and create all these troubles for me now!" Gu Chan boasted deliberately.

Ye Tianyang quickly gave her a thumbs-up.

Then he agreed without saying anything, "Okay, then it's settled, one hundred red cannons in exchange for one hundred ships of food."

"It can't be a small boat! It has to be a big ship like my merchant ship with a hundred ships of food." Gu Chan reminded.

"No problem, don't worry! My Yaoye City is much more prosperous than your Jiangnan City. We don't lack this little money and food." Ye Tianyang said, patting his chest.

Gu Chan chuckled and was in a good mood.

Ye Tianyang changed the subject and asked, "Then when will you give me the 100 red cannons?"

"Well... I have brought two cannons here now. How about I give you a down payment for these two cannons first, and then pay for the remaining ninety-eight cannons in installments?" Gu Chan said with an awkward smile.

"You only brought two cannons here, and you want to exchange them for a hundred ships of food? Are you kidding me?" Ye Tianyang said unhappily.

He thought that Gu Chan had brought a hundred cannons on this merchant ship! But Gu Chan actually told him to pay a down payment for two cannons first, and then pay for the remaining ninety-eight cannons in installments?

The key point is, he has never heard of doing business this way.
