Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Although Gu Chan was angry with Ye Tianyang, she was not a petty-minded woman.

And to be honest, although Ye Tianyang was a little suspicious by nature, as the lord of a city, he did a very good job both towards the people and the entire royal family of Yexing Kingdom.

Therefore, she did not want to trap Ye Tianyang to death, and just stared at Qixing Fan and said, "Prince Fan, how about this! I will offer you another plan, what do you think?"

"Tell me about it." Qixingfan said with a smile.

"You should dismiss the city lord Ye Tianyang! Then drive the entire Ye family out of the border. After that, you can take control of the entire border area and establish yourself as the lord. Then all problems will be solved." Gu Chan suggested.

Qi Xingfan's eyes lit up and he said, "What a good plan! This way, the Ye family won't be considered as betraying the crown prince, and I won't be considered as betraying the fourth prince. Moreover, from now on, I will be under the command of the foreign army. If the fourth prince gives me orders again, I, as the lord of the border, will have the right to make my own choices."

"Yes, the most important thing is that you can not only protect yourself, but also all your family members. I believe this is also the situation that the emperor of your Yexing Kingdom wants to see the most." Gu Chan said in reply.

Qixingfan nodded without comment.

Gu Chan looked at Ye Tianyang and said, "City Lord Ye, you decide for yourself. If you dare not agree, tonight will be the day you die. After you die, your entire Ye family will be exterminated accordingly."

"Alas! It's the time and the fate. It seems I have no choice now." Ye Tianyang sighed bitterly.

Qi Xingfan laughed and said, "It's settled then. Let's go! Let's rush back to Yaoye City tonight to make the handover."

After saying that, Qixingfan immediately stood up and walked out the door.

The two guards also stepped forward quickly, one on the left and one on the right, escorting Ye Tianyang away.

Half an incense stick of time later, Qixingfan brought dozens of powerful guards, escorted Gu Chan, Ye Tianyang, and the ghost bat beast down the mountain and headed towards Yaoye City.

The next morning, after everyone arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Tianyang was quickly forced to resign and hand over the City Lord's seal to Qi Xingfan.

At noon, all the members of the Ye family, together with Ye Tianyang, were expelled from the border by Qixingfan.

Gu Chan did not see him off, but just stayed in the City Lord's Mansion and waited quietly. This trip to Yexing Country was full of twists and turns, and there were several times when she almost got stuck and couldn't get out.

Now that the situation has finally become clear, she naturally doesn't want to create any more trouble.

Three days later in the morning, when Qi Xingfan had completely controlled the entire Yaoye City, he came to the back yard and saw Gu Chan who was playing with the Fire King.

Gu Chan stepped forward and said, "Prince Fan, I have completely cured your little darling. From now on, you can feed it with spiritual herbs such as Purple Heart Ice Cool Grass, which can replenish its spiritual energy and help it cultivate and increase its strength."

"Lord Gu, thank you very much." Qi Xingfan said politely with his fists clasped.

"Hehe... no need for polite words! Prince Fan, let's get practical." Gu Chan said with a strange laugh.

Qi Xingfan laughed loudly, "Don't worry, I have already prepared the ninety-eight ships of food you requested, and I am waiting for you at the dock of the City Lord's Mansion. I will send you off now and ensure that you can return to Tiancang Kingdom with the food safely."

"Thank you very much, Prince Fan. If you need help in the future, just let me know. I will help you if I can." Gu Chan said happily while bowing.

Qi Xingfan nodded affirmatively, then he took Gu Chan out of the compound and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion Pier.

After a while, the two arrived at the dock. Just as he said, there was a row of large merchant ships docked at the dock.

Qi Xingfan smiled and said, "I have already sent dozens of merchant ships carrying food ahead. The one parked here now is the last batch of food. You can get on board and take the food with you."

"Then Prince Fan, are you still going to buy the ninety-eight red cannons that I discussed with Ye Tianyang before?" Gu Chan said with a blink.

"Buy it. Why wouldn't you want such a good weapon? Cast it for me when you go back and send someone to deliver it to me. I will then load ninety-eight ships of food for you." Qixingfan said readily.

Gu Chan was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

After that, the two of them didn't say anything more. Gu Chan immediately said goodbye to Qi Xingfan and boarded a merchant ship full of grain and left.

Qi Xingfan stood on the dock, watching the merchant ships sailing away, and couldn't help muttering to himself, "I can't imagine what the Tiancang Kingdom will be like when this kid grows up!"

After saying this, he turned around with a serious expression and silently returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

On the other side, on the top floor of an inn on the east side of Yaoye City.

At this time, Leng Yu was standing on a high corridor, looking at the grain transport ships moving forward in the river ahead. His face was ashen, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Gu Chan, you not only harmed me, but also burned down my Yehuangju. Well, you just wait, one day, I will make you pay the price you deserve."

Then he calmed down, left the inn with a strong hatred for Gu Chan, went to the nearest pier, and left Yaoye City on a small cargo ship.

Time passed quickly, and ten days went by in a flash.

At dusk that afternoon, the ninety-eight ships of grain led by Gu Chan finally arrived at Chang's Wharf outside Jiangnan City and stopped.

After Wei Xing learned the news, he immediately organized hundreds of people to come and help unload the grain.

Gu Chan got off the boat and just stepped onto the dock, Wei Xing quickly ran over and said, "Little Boss, you're finally back. We've been waiting for you, and we were almost dying of anxiety."

"Why are you in such a hurry? I have nothing to worry about. I even brought back 98 ships of food," Gu Chan said proudly.

"We are not worried about this, but something else." Wei Xing said with a bitter face.

"Did that old guy Tian Qianqiu run away? Didn't you kill him?" Gu Chan said with her eyes wide open.

Wei Xing said speechlessly, "No, Tian Qianqiu was chopped down by Ren Nanshan a long time ago."

"What's the matter that makes you so anxious?" Gu Chan said unhappily.

Wei Xing sighed, then put his mouth close to her ear and whispered, "Something big happened in Wuheng County on the border. I just received a letter from there yesterday."

"It's terrible. It seems that what is supposed to come will eventually come!" Gu Chan stood there in a daze, speaking in a serious tone.

She had always expected that something would happen to Xuanyuan Qing, but she didn't expect that the boy wouldn't make it until the beginning of next spring, and it wasn't long before the Chinese New Year.

It is indeed not a good sign that something happened to him at this critical moment.

Thinking of this, Gu Chan said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'm a little tired, let's go back to the City Lord's Mansion and rest for a while before we talk."

"Yes, lord." Wei Xing said respectfully.

"By the way, don't make life hard for our border brothers from Yexing Country who are delivering food to us. After the food is unloaded, have someone take them to the flower boat and treat them well. When they leave, give each of them a bribe of 100 taels of silver so that they don't make a wasted trip." Gu Chan ordered.

Wei Xing responded affirmatively and hurried over to arrange for someone to handle the matter.

Gu Chan got into the carriage and rushed towards the City Lord's Mansion with a heavy heart.
