Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Early the next morning.

When Gu Chan got up again, she felt much more comfortable.

She had been feeling a little dizzy last night, but now she felt much more relaxed.

Bilan came in with a basin of hot water, carefully helped Gu Chan wash up, and whispered in her ear, "Master, are you feeling well?"

"Of course. Look at how energetic I am now. Don't you know that I have fully recovered?" Gu Chan said with a smile.

Bilan let out a long sigh, and the heart that had been hanging in her chest finally calmed down completely.

You know, the three of them had only been with Gu Chan for a short time, and they were still hoping to leave with Gu Chan and live a good life in the future! If something happened to Gu Chan now, wouldn't their future be dark?

Therefore, the three of them are the ones who least want Gu Chan to get into trouble.

Gu Chan changed the subject and said, "Okay, I'll do it myself! Go get me something to eat, preferably some porridge, so I can nourish my stomach."

"Yes, Master." Bilan responded obediently.

Then she took her leave and went to prepare breakfast for Gu Chan.

After a while, Bilan came in with a bowl of fragrant millet porridge, put it on the table, and then served Gu Chan breakfast.

Just as Gu Chan was eating with gusto, Ye Tianyang unexpectedly walked in from outside the door.

After sitting down at the table, he said to Bilan, "You go down first!"

"Yes, Lord City Lord." Bilan said respectfully.

After saying that, she glanced at Ye Tianyang, then left with a little worry.

After all, her master is Gu Chan now, so she has to consider Gu Chan. In the past two days, Ye Tianyang has come to test them several times, which has made everyone wary of him.

Gu Chan pretended that she knew nothing and just ate her food.

Ye Tianyang was silent for a moment, then asked, "Is your injury healed?"

"Okay! Have you prepared the 2 billion taels of silver for me?" Gu Chan asked back.

"Don't worry, I have already deposited the cash in the silver vault. Once the strange disease is completely resolved, I will arrange for a merchant ship to load the silver and send it to your Jiangnan City." Ye Tianyang said.

Gu Chan paused, looked up and stared at him, "What do you mean by completely solving the problem of the strange disease? Haven't I helped you find out the truth about the strange disease? You can't expect me to help you deal with the royal family who secretly wants to deal with you, right?"

"By the way, you really need to help me with this matter. It's really difficult for me to do it." Ye Tianyang said with a wry smile.

"boom!"

Gu Chan was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped the table, her face instantly turning extremely cold.

She almost risked her life just to help Ye Tianyang investigate the strange disease. Now that this guy is getting more and more demanding, she is naturally unhappy.

Ye Tianyang waved his hand and said, "Don't get excited! We can discuss the conditions, and to put it bluntly, you have to help me now, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to return to Jiangnan City."

"What do you mean?" Gu Chan asked.

Ye Tianyang didn't waste any words. He reached into his sleeve, took out a secret letter, and handed it to Gu Chan.

Gu Chan picked up the secret letter and opened it. She immediately clenched her fists and an expression of extreme anger appeared on her face.

The content of this secret letter roughly means that although the spies sent by Ye Tianyang did not find any members of the royal family hiding on the border of Yexing Kingdom, they unexpectedly found out that a team of physical training masters from Tiancang Kingdom had secretly sneaked into Yaoye City and were secretly gathering information about Gu Chan.

As for who sent this team of physical training masters, needless to say, Gu Chan knew it very well.

This also indirectly confirmed one thing, that is, there was indeed something wrong with Tian Qianqiu, the Jiangnan River Control Officer. After all, apart from her trusted subordinates, she only told Tian Qianqiu about her coming to the border of Yexing Country to ask for silver and food.

Her trusted subordinates would naturally not expose this matter, but now that a master from Tiancang Country has come to kill them, it proves that the news could only have been leaked from Tian Qianqiu.

But knowing all this in her heart, Gu Chan did not say much, but pretended to be indifferent and put down the secret letter, saying calmly, "City Lord Ye, what do you mean? Isn't it just that a team of physical training masters from Tiancang Country came? What does this have to do with me?"

"Gu Chan, can we stop being suspicious of each other? Can't we trust each other more and speak frankly? Do you think I don't know that the Crown Prince of your Tiancang Kingdom has always wanted to kill you? I'll tell you the truth! I have already found out for you. There are a total of five people in this team of physical training masters. They all came from the capital of Tiancang Kingdom, and they are masters of the Dizong of the Tianji Pavilion of your Tiancang Kingdom." Ye Tianyang said unhappily.

Gu Chan lowered her head expressionlessly and continued to eat without answering.

Ye Tianyang added, "I know you don't trust me, but your situation is worrying now, and my situation is also worrying. If you and I don't trust each other and cooperate with each other, I'm afraid our final outcome will not be good."

"You know that too! Then why are you still using all kinds of control over me and not helping me solve my worries? I tell you, as long as you send money and silver to Jiangnan City immediately and help my disaster-stricken people, I don't mind even if I live in your Yaoye City until the beginning of next spring." Gu Chan seized the opportunity and said.

"I've already told you that the conditions can be negotiated. You're such a cunning person. What if I help you solve your worries and you turn around and run away? Where can I find you?" Ye Tianyang said tentatively.

Gu Chan laughed, "Don't worry, I, Gu Chan, have always been loyal. As long as you are willing to help me solve the problem, I will definitely stay and help you solve your problem."

"Okay, then it's settled. I will arrange for someone to send twenty ships of silver to Jiangnan City. As for the food, it's still the two ships agreed upon before. The remaining ninety-eight ships will be sent after you hand over the ninety-eight red cannons to me." Ye Tianyang said cheerfully with a wave of his hand.

Gu Chan laughed happily and said, "That's right! If you had been so straightforward earlier, wouldn't everything have been settled? Wouldn't you have to come and test me every day? I was unconscious for the past two days, and you still came to test me, as if I could still run after being unconscious."

“That’s not certain. Who knows if you are really unconscious or just pretending to be unconscious? Of course I have to be on guard against you. If you really run away, who will I ask for help?” Ye Tianyang said frankly.

Gu Chan's heart, which had been hanging in her chest, finally settled down here.

As long as Ye Tianyang didn't have any bad intentions towards her, then everything would be fine. As for running away! Before the money was in place, she would definitely not run away so easily. After all, countless disaster-stricken people in the Jiangnan area were still waiting for her to get money to save their lives!

After Ye Tianyang had settled the matter, he stopped talking nonsense with Gu Chan and immediately stood up to say goodbye and left, then went to arrange for someone to pack the silver for Gu Chan.

At noon that day, large merchant ships loaded with silver sailed out from the City Lord's Mansion dock one after another and headed towards the Jiangnan City of Tiancang Kingdom.

Gu Chan stood at the dock and counted the ships one by one. Only after she was sure that enough silver had been sent out did she return to the City Lord's Mansion to rest with satisfaction.
