Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

That afternoon, the nine-fingered old beggar, surrounded by many beggar leaders, moved to the Jigong Temple on East Street and settled there.

When Laipigou and a dozen other beggar leaders saw how magnificent the new temple was, they were all dumbfounded.

As soon as everyone entered the temple, they looked like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, completely ignorant of the world. The scabby dog ​​even said, "Boss, who is this guy who sent you to the temple? Why do I feel like he's so awesome?"

"Who? Isn't it that little beggar Gu Chan under your command?" said the nine-fingered old beggar unhappily.

"Ah? How could it be him?" The scabby dog ​​widened his eyes in shock, unable to believe his ears.

The other beggar leaders were also dumbfounded.

At this time, Gu Chan walked out of the Buddhist hall, ran to the Nine-Fingered Old Beggar and said, "Old Gang Leader, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Move the things to the backyard for me. I want to talk to him alone. No one should disturb us." The nine-fingered beggar ordered.

Laipigou and the others nodded quickly, picked up those broken things and ran quickly to the backyard.

The nine-fingered old beggar followed Gu Chan into the Buddhist temple.

The two men came to the golden Buddha statue and sat side by side. The nine-fingered old beggar said, "Well, I've been thinking about it for an entire afternoon. How do you think it is?"

"To be honest, I have no interest in who will be the emperor of Tiancang Kingdom. Now I just want to protect myself and all my family members. When danger really comes, I will find the prince and explain it clearly. At worst, I will not help anyone and just do my business well." Gu Chan said frankly.

The nine-fingered old beggar sighed in disappointment.

Gu Chan smiled bitterly and said, "Old Boss, you really think highly of me. I'm not that great! I got into all these big troubles because I got carried away in the past. Now I'm very clear-headed. After this mission is completed, I will retire and just do business and make money to support my family in the future."

"Well, everyone has their own aspirations. I won't persuade them any more." The nine-fingered old beggar shook his head.

After saying that, he prepared to get up and leave, going back to the backyard to rest.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened. Di Lin and Yuan Jie rushed in from outside the temple in a hurry, and then ran into the Buddhist hall quickly.

When Gu Chan saw the two of them coming, she looked puzzled and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Boss, it's bad, something big has happened." Di Lin ran to Gu Chan and stopped, gasping for breath.

Yuan Jie was bent over, panting from exhaustion, unable to speak at all.

Gu Chan told the two to sit down and rest. After they had caught their breath, she said calmly, "What's the matter that has made you so anxious? Talk slowly, don't be anxious."

"Cheng Hao and Yuan Ying were captured in Nancheng. That bastard King Nanxian has now surrendered to the Crown Prince. He ordered them to be imprisoned. We just received the news!"

"The official who brought the message was also seriously injured and dying. He is now lying on the merchant ship. It is not known whether he can survive."

The two explained anxiously.

Gu Chan's face turned as pale as a pillar when he heard this.

As expected, the Nanxian King and his son were really beasts! The Second Prince had just committed suicide by taking poison, and they sided with the Crown Prince in Nancheng and helped him deal with his own people.

The nine-fingered beggar shook his head and said, "See! I've already told you that the prince will never let you go. His men haven't even arrived in the Jiangnan area yet, but he has already started to eliminate your people. Now he has only eliminated your two men. I'm afraid that after a while, he will have to take action against all your family members in Zhongyuan City."

"Damn it! Damn it, I didn't provoke you, but you came to provoke me. Do you really think that I, Gu Chan, am easy to bully?" Gu Chan gritted her teeth and shouted angrily.

After thinking about it for the whole afternoon, she had already made the decision not to go against the prince. But now, the prince attacked her without asking any questions.

If she didn't fight back, it would be just as the nine-fingered old beggar said, and the next ones to suffer would be her entire family in Zhongyuan City.

Di Lin suddenly knelt down and said, "Boss, Cheng Hao and I are brothers who have shared life and death together. No matter what, I beg you to save him."

"Boss, I'm kneeling down to you too. Yuanying is my biological sister! I can't just watch her die in Nancheng like this." Yuan Jie also knelt down and kowtowed.

Gu Chan said unhappily, "Can you guys sit up and stop causing trouble for me? We are in Jiangnan City now, which is so far away from Nancheng. Even if we fly over to save them, it will be too late. So no matter what happens now, don't panic."

After Gu Chan said this, the two of them quickly stood up and sat down, not making any more trouble.

The nine-fingered old beggar said, "It's actually very simple to save your two men in South City now. It depends on whether you dare to do it."

"Okay, old boss, you should have a good rest! I know what to do. The prince is unkind, so don't blame me for being unfair." Gu Chan said coldly.

Di Lin asked curiously, "Boss, what are you going to do next?"

"Don't worry about this. Hurry back to the Great China and take good care of the officer who brought the news. Make sure to rescue him. As for rescuing Cheng Hao and Yuan Ying, leave it to me." Gu Chan ordered.

Di Lin and Yuan Jie nodded affirmatively.

Afterwards, the two of them calmed down temporarily and left the temple according to Gu Chan's arrangements.

After they left, Gu Chan went straight to the Censorate without any hesitation.

At this time, in the front courtyard of the Censorate.

Hundreds of officials and many wealthy people from the Jiangnan area were there. Everyone was extremely anxious and didn't know what to do.

Yan Xishan, Bai Jingtian and Guo Huai were sitting on the three chairs in the front, with stiff faces, unable to even fart.

"Master Yan, please stop being so depressed! You need to give us an explanation!"

"That's right. I heard that the prince's troops have already arrived in Nancheng. According to their marching speed, they will probably enter the Jiangnan area in seven days. What should we do then?"

"Master Yan, do you have any instructions from Kyoto?"

Everyone couldn't help it and questioned Yan Xishan.

Yan Xishan sat on the chair, his whole body limp. Although he didn't say a word at the moment and seemed to be very calm, in fact, he was already in a panic inside and had no idea what to do.

The most important thing is that he is the Chief Censor of Jiangnan, the highest-ranking official in the Jiangnan area. If he wants to run away, that is simply impossible. But if he doesn't run away, when the prince's men come, he will be the first one to be dealt with.

So at this moment he was in a dilemma and was in an extremely difficult situation.
