Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

When Gu Chan came to the study, she found that not only Ye Tianyang was there, but even the ghost bat beast was lying on a recliner, eating a fruit.

Gu Chan walked over to sit opposite them, squinting her eyes and said, "It seems that you two have been getting along well these days! How come you are just good friends now?"

"Is it not possible? I just like City Lord Ye, do you have any objection?" The ghost bat beast said in a mean way.

Gu Chan sneered and said, "How dare I object! If you two team up to beat me up, won't I just get beaten up? I'm a well-behaved person now, how dare I mess with you."

"That's good to know. You little brat, you'd better be obedient, otherwise I won't let you go." The ghost bat beast threatened.

Gu Chan laughed disdainfully.

Ye Tianyang got straight to the point and said, "Alright, senior, don't bother with a kid like him. I invited all of you here tonight mainly to discuss how to deal with King Fan. Just now, the guards came to tell me where King Fan is hiding."

"Where is he hiding?" Gu Chan asked.

"It's hidden in the temple on the top of Lianxing Mountain, east of Yaoye City." Ye Tianyang said.

Gu Chan frowned and said, "No wonder we couldn't find him. This guy is really good at hiding! He actually hid in a temple on the top of a mountain."

"Lord Ye, how do you plan to deal with him?" asked the ghost bat beast.

Ye Tianyang said cruelly, "Since he treats me like this, why should I be polite to him? I can just get rid of him directly."

"You'd better think carefully. He is the seventh brother of the current emperor. He is not an ordinary person. If you really want to get rid of him, once the news leaks out, there will be endless troubles!" The ghost bat beast reminded.

Ye Tianyang immediately looked at Gu Chan with a wicked smile.

Gu Chan's eyes widened as she said, "Oh! You want me to be the scapegoat? Do you think I'm stupid?"

"There are still ninety-eight ships of grain. Do you want them or not? As long as you can help me kill King Fan this time, I will give you another ninety-eight ships of grain. If you send me ninety-eight red cannons later, I will give you another ninety-eight ships of grain. I guarantee that you will completely solve the problems of the disaster-stricken people under your rule." Ye Tianyang said, patting his chest with his hand.

Gu Chan was silent for a while and started thinking secretly in her heart.

There is no doubt that if she could bring back ninety-eight ships of food this time, she would be able to temporarily solve the survival problem of the disaster-stricken people in the Jiangnan area. Then, by exchanging the food for ninety-eight cannons, she could completely solve the problem once and for all.

So this is a hundred benefits and no harm to her.

The corresponding thing is that once the news leaks out, saying that she, the Lord of Jiangnan in Tiancang Kingdom, killed Prince Fan in Yexing Kingdom, she will be in great trouble if she doesn’t die.

Therefore, it is worth pondering whether or not to be the scapegoat.

Seeing Gu Chan was hesitant, Ye Tianyang said, "Don't worry, as long as we kill King Fan this time, I will definitely keep this secret. Even if the royal family investigates, I will say that King Fan was killed by someone unknown, and I can also push this matter to Bailu, the enemy of Yexing Kingdom."

"Forget it. In order to save the disaster-stricken people under my jurisdiction, I will be the scapegoat. Anyway, you dare not easily give me up, otherwise I will say that it was you who asked me to do it, or you made a deal with me for money and food." Gu Chan said with a faint smile.

"That's right. We are now tied to the same rope. You can't run away, and neither can I. I will never betray you. Instead, I am worried that you will betray me." Ye Tianyang said frankly.

Gu Chan shook her head. "I'm only after food. There's no need to sell you out."

"Then it's settled. You can go to Lianxing Mountain with Senior Ghost Bat Beast tonight. I'll wait for your good news." Ye Tianyang said.

"Why does it want to go too?" Gu Chan said unhappily.

The ghost bat beast said angrily, "I dream of tearing that bastard King Fan into pieces. When I was in Kyoto before, I was tortured by him a lot. This time I fled to the border, and he came to capture me by the emperor's order. You are afraid of revenge from the royal family of Yexing Kingdom, but I am not afraid at all."

"That's the best, as long as I'm not the only one taking the scapegoat." Gu Chan said with relief.

She was well aware of the powerfulness of the Ghost Bat Beast. In this situation, if it went along, the success rate of assassinating King Fan would be much higher.

Ye Tianyang urged, "Then go ahead! The carriage is ready and waiting for you at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion."

"Let me ask one more question. Does your Yexing Kingdom's Crown Prince know about the assassination of King Fan?" Gu Chan asked cautiously.

"Of course he knows it, and he agrees with it." Ye Tianyang said affirmatively.

Gu Chan nodded with relief, and immediately left the study with the ghost bat beast and walked towards the outside of the City Lord's Mansion.

When the man and the beast arrived at the gate, just as Ye Tianyang had said, a carriage was already parked at the gate waiting. The guard who had been following them was already sitting in front of the carriage, ready to set off.

Gu Chan and the ghost bat beast got into the carriage one after another without saying a word.

The guards drove the carriage and took them out of the city quietly, bypassing the water route and heading towards Lianxing Mountain to the east of Yaoye City.

On the other side, at the Zhenhesi Wharf of Tiancang State at the border between the two countries.

At this time, Cheng Hao and others had already arrived here safely on the Great China.

As soon as the ship docked at the pier, Ren Nanshan personally led people to greet them.

Cheng Hao was stunned and asked hurriedly, "Why are you here?"

"I led people here two days ago. Now I have taken full control of the Zhenhe Division and killed all the prince's men in this office." Ren Nanshan said.

"Did you also chop Tian Qianqiu to pieces?" Cheng Hao asked.

Ren Nanshan said affirmatively, "Of course, this bastard is a traitor who betrayed our master. How can we let him off easily?"

"Yes, only by chopping him into pieces and feeding him to the dogs can I feel better." Cheng Hao said gritting his teeth.

Ren Nanshan looked up at the people getting off the Great China and couldn't help asking, "Where's the master? Why doesn't he get off the ship?"

“For our safety, the master stayed in the City Lord’s Mansion of Yaoye City. It was he who single-handedly ensured the safe return of all of us!” Cheng Hao said with tears in his eyes.

"How could you abandon your master and come back alone?" Ren Nanshan complained.

"My master regards the lives of the disaster-stricken people in the Jiangnan area as more important than his own life. He asked us to escort this ship of food back safely. How can I let him down?" Cheng Hao said with tears in his eyes.

Ren Nanshan was choked speechless.

At this moment, he was deeply moved and felt that he had followed the right person. A good lord like him was worth his life!

With this in mind, he did not continue to blame Cheng Hao. Instead, he ordered people to guard the ship of grain before leading Cheng Hao and others to the Zhenhesi Yamen to rest.
