Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Bai Lei put his mouth close to Zuo Wangfeng's ear and whispered.

"Brother Zuo, in my opinion, we should hurry to Prince Chan's Mansion. Gu Chan must be in danger. If we don't go over and help him stabilize Prince Chan's Mansion, I'm afraid your daughter will be in trouble too."

"Yeah!" Zuo Wangfeng responded coldly.

Then he looked at the guard and said coldly, "Tell me the truth. This matter has nothing to do with you. I will not blame you."

"General, last night Prince Chan and Prince Chen made a bet that whoever jumped down from the skylight and took three hits from the ferocious beast below would be the winner. Then Prince Chen jumped down and fought with the beast for hundreds of rounds, but not long after Prince Chan jumped down, there was no movement and he has not come out until now." The guard said honestly.

"Hmph! That's bullshit. With King Chen's strength, can he really fight with the mysterious beast below for hundreds of rounds?" Zuo Wangfeng snorted disdainfully.

In the entire Kyoto, everyone knows that among the three kings of Kyoto, King Chen is the weakest. The reason he was able to become this prince is thanks to his extraordinary strategy when he was young. He often helped the previous emperor to make plans and won many battles. That's why the previous emperor valued him very much and made him a king of a different surname. Otherwise, he would not even be qualified to be a king.

No one would believe that he could fight the ferocious beast below for hundreds of rounds.

The guard said affirmatively, "General, this is true. All the guards who were in charge of guarding here last night saw it with their own eyes. The Crown Prince and the Imperial Master were there to bear witness. It can't be false."

"What? The Imperial Master is here too?" Zuo Wangfeng said in surprise.

The guard nodded affirmatively.

Bai Lei was dumbfounded and said, "Didn't I hear that the Imperial Master went to Jiangnan to deal with the rising Five Elements Sect at the order of the Crown Prince? Why is he back?"

"There's no way he'll come back. It's a long way to Jiangnan, and it'll take at least half a month to go back and forth. He's only been gone for three or four days, how can he come back so soon? And even if he can reach Jiangnan in one day, it's impossible for him to destroy the rising Five Elements Sect in just two or three days!" Zuo Wangfeng said angrily.

"Then why was he by the patio last night? Could it be that the guard saw it wrong?" Bai Lei said with his hands spread out.

The guard quickly said, "Master Bai, I was not mistaken. The Imperial Master did come here with the Crown Prince last night."

"It seems like there's something fishy going on here!" Zuo Wangfeng said, frowning.

After saying that, he did not stay here any longer, but left quickly with Bai Lei.

After the two of them left the Royal Beast Garden, they each rode a fast horse and hurried back to Prince Chan's Palace.

On the other side, inside Prince Chan’s mansion.

At this time, Ji was in the lobby of the front yard of the mansion, confronting Chen Yan.

Chen Yan said arrogantly, "Madam Zuo, this is Prince Chan's Mansion, not your General's Mansion. You have no right to come here and meddle in other people's business!"

"Gu Chan is my son-in-law and I am his mother-in-law. I am qualified to take care of things here." Ji said coldly.

"Madam Zuo, you'd better think about it carefully. After today, the position of the general of Kyoto might change hands. If you can beg me now, I might be able to say a good word for your husband in front of my father. Then my father can let your husband and your son take up a position in the Kyoto camp. It is not impossible." Chen Yan said sarcastically.

Ji was choked speechless on the spot, and stared at Chen Yan fiercely, wishing he could skin this little thief alive.

Just when she was furious, Zuo Xin and Yuan Jie walked in from outside, looking energetic.

As soon as she entered the door, she shouted coldly at the Chan Palace guards standing in the lobby, "What are you still standing there for? Get all these outsiders out."

"You dare." Chen Yan shouted angrily.

"What should I be afraid of? Anyway, my husband didn't come back last night. Now I'm not afraid of anything. When my husband is not here, I am the mistress of Prince Chan's Mansion, and I have the final say in everything." Zuo Xin put on the attitude of a mistress and shouted.

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and all the guards in the hall immediately stepped forward and forcibly drove Chen Yan and the others out.

After a while, Chen Yan and the dozen or so guards from Prince Chen's Mansion that she brought with her were all driven out of the gate of Prince Chan's Mansion.

Chen Yan couldn't hold back her pride, so she stood at the gate with her hands on her hips, cursing like a shrew, "Zuo Xin, you bitch, without Gu Chan protecting you, who are you? I'm telling you, your father's position as a general is almost lost, and you're not begging me now, and you're kicking me out. I think you really don't want to live anymore."

"I'm going to die anyway, so what do I have to be afraid of? I'm warning you, you'd better shut your stinky mouth and get out of here with these dogs of yours, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless." Zuo Xin shouted angrily while blocking the door.

"Just try and see if you dare to touch me again." Chen Yan said teasingly.

"All guards in Prince Chan's Palace, listen up and draw your swords." Zuo Xin said gritting his teeth.

The guards at Prince Chan's mansion immediately drew out the long swords at their waists and pointed the blades at Chen Yan and others.

Chen Yan was so frightened that her face turned pale, her neck shrank, and she quickly stepped back, saying in a trembling voice, "You are so cruel! Just wait for me, one day, I will make you kneel in front of me and kowtow to me to admit your mistakes."

After she finished speaking, she ran away like a loser, leading a dozen guards behind her, and didn't dare to act wildly outside Prince Chan's Mansion again.

It was because she understood that this time, both father and daughter had really gone too far. If they didn't run away now, Zuo Xin might really let the guards of Prince Chan's Mansion use knives on them!

"The mistress is so powerful! Without her support, I don't know how much humiliation we would have suffered."

"That's right, with the mistress here, we have nothing to fear."

"I really hope that Prince Chan can return safely, otherwise I don't know what will happen to all of us."

After Chen Yan fled with his men, the maids and servants in the mansion began to discuss the matter carefully.

While they praised Zuo Xin, they were also worried in their hearts. If Gu Chan could not return safely, the future of Prince Chan's Mansion would be worrying.

Zuo Xin didn't care about that. She turned around and walked into the mansion, saying to everyone, "Listen, my husband is still alive or dead, and I don't know what will happen to Prince Chan's mansion in the future. So if you want to leave now, I will not stop you, especially the group of people sent by the prince. If you don't leave, if something happens to me next time, I will kill you first."

As soon as Zuo Xin finished speaking, the group of people sent by the prince were all frightened and quickly stood out from the crowd and fled out of Prince Chan's Mansion.

Soon all the people in the group fled, leaving only the dozens of maids, servants and guards that Zuo Xin brought from the general's mansion, who were still standing in the yard and refused to leave.

Zuo Xin couldn't help but tear up when he looked at the group of servants in front of him who were loyal to him.

At this moment, she became even more determined to protect everyone in Prince Chan's Mansion.
