Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Nan Xing Kuang shook his head speechlessly, and finally did not blame Gu Chan. Instead, he clasped his fists and bowed to Zuo Wangfeng and said.

"Brother, he is still young and his actions are not serious. I hope you will not bother with him. Besides, when he was at the border before, our eldest brother also thought highly of him. I hope you will let this matter go for our eldest brother's sake."

"So that's why. No wonder you dote on him so much." Zuo Wangfeng said with relief.

After learning about this situation, the look in his eyes when he looked at Gu Chan became much gentler.

Gu Chan was also very smart. She quickly clasped her fists and saluted, saying, "General Zuo, I was reckless that night. I hope you can forgive me."

"You are so brave that you dare to make fun of the emperor. If the prince or the emperor knew about this, you would be skinned alive, right?" Zuo Wangfeng said with a stiff face.

"What's there to be afraid of? I'm only doing this for the sake of peace in the Jiangnan area, so I'm going to stop you. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here now. If I really let you talk to him alone, what does it have to do with me?" Gu Chan said with her hands spread out as if she didn't care.

Zuo Wangfeng was immediately speechless. He really had no idea how to deal with this little brat.

After all, Gu Chan's lord dragon seal was also bestowed by the emperor. In a sense, the emperor also recognized Gu Chan's ability, so he naturally did not dare to get angry with Gu Chan easily.

Nan Xing waved his hand to interrupt Gu Chan, and turned back to the main topic, "Brother, let's talk business! The Crown Prince asked you to lead the army here. How do you plan to deal with the Second Prince's followers in the Jiangnan area?"

“Junior brother, to be honest with you, the order given to me by the Crown Prince is to completely eradicate the Second Prince’s followers and seize control of the Jiangnan area. However, judging from the current situation, the Emperor will definitely not agree with it. So it is difficult for me now. In addition, this brat is obstructing me everywhere, and I am helpless for a while.” Zuo Wangfeng sighed.

When Gu Chan heard this, her face darkened, her brows furrowed, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly.

There is no doubt that in this situation, since the three parties have gathered together and Nan Xing Kuang has taken the initiative to bring up the topic, it means that it is time to speak frankly.

As the leader of Jiangnan, she must take the initiative, otherwise she will inevitably be in a position of being controlled.

Thinking of this, Gu Chan interrupted and said, "Okay, since General Zuo has made it so clear, let's speak frankly tonight and stop hiding things and scheming."

"Okay, I'd like to see what methods you, a little brat, have to protect the Second Prince's followers in the Jiangnan area." Zuo Wangfeng became interested and said with a sneer.

Gu Chan lowered her head and thought for a while before saying, "General Zuo, I know you have to give an explanation to the Crown Prince, otherwise the Crown Prince will not let you go easily, so I won't make it difficult for you. After the Jiangnan Poetry Festival is over, we will have three attacks and defenses. If you can break through my defenses and enter Jiangnan City, then I will give you the Lord's Dragon Seal directly, and I and all the Second Prince's party will be at your disposal."

"You, Gu Chan! You are so presumptuous. You even dare to be so presumptuous in front of two great generals." Shuiyue glared at Gu Chan and shouted angrily.

"Shut up! Women should stop interrupting men when they are talking. Stay away." Gu Chan shouted coldly.

"You..." Shuiyue was choked and speechless.

Zuo Wangfeng waved his hand to stop her and said, "As a deputy general, you should stop talking. He is a lord, and his status is far higher than yours. You have no right to speak."

"Yes, General." Shuiyue responded with gritted teeth, holding her breath and closing her mouth.

Gu Chan said again, "General Zuo, what do you think of my proposal?"

"Okay. I, Zuo Wangfeng, have never been afraid of any challenge. But the premise is that you must not let my junior brother send troops to help you. Otherwise, once civil strife breaks out, the consequences will be disastrous." Zuo Wangfeng said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, I absolutely don't want his help. I will lead my people and all the Second Prince's followers in the Jiangnan area to fight against your 100,000 soldiers. It's equivalent to us conducting a military exercise, and both sides will engage in a bloodless offensive and defensive battle." Gu Chan said seriously.

Zuo Wangfeng laughed out loud when he heard this and enjoyed it very much.

Gu Chan was puzzled, "General Zuo, what are you laughing at? Is what I said wrong?"

"You are right. I just have never seen a lord like you. You are just a young boy, but you dare to engage in an offensive and defensive battle with a general like me. Your courage is truly admirable." Zuo Wangfeng exclaimed.

Gu Chan pouted, speechless, thinking, "When I was in Zhongyuan City, I killed all the enemy troops of Diyue Kingdom without leaving a single piece of armor. I was not afraid at all. Now I am in Jiangnan area. Isn't it just a military exercise? Do I need to be afraid of you?"

Of course, she didn't dare to say it out loud, so she gave Zuo Wangfeng enough face and said, "You don't have to admire me. Anyway, you have to give me time to prepare, otherwise I will issue a notice to everyone, saying that you are bullying a child and you are shameless."

"Okay, I'll give you some time to prepare. It will take as long as you say." Zuo Wangfeng said unhappily.

"During the period of the Jiangnan Poetry Festival, half a month after the end of the festival, you can lead your troops to attack directly in the early morning. If I show any weakness, I will write my grandmother's name backwards." Gu Chan said, slapping the table with his hand.

Zuo Wangfeng was amused by her again, and said happily, "Okay, this way I have given an explanation to the prince, but I have to make it clear to you first, I will attack you later, and you are not allowed to cheat."

"Tsk! I, Gu Chan, keep my word. If you can conquer us, I will even cut off my head and let you kick it like a ball." Gu Chan said shamelessly.

"That's settled then. Junior brother, you will be a witness for us." Zuo Wangfeng looked at Nan Xingkuang and said.

Nan Xing Kuang smiled awkwardly and nodded, "Okay, no problem, but Brother, if you can't take it down, how are you going to explain to the Crown Prince?"

"It's impossible that I can't conquer it. If that happens, I can only go back to see the prince with my head." Zuo Wangfeng said with disdain.

Nan Xing Kuang nodded without comment.

Gu Chan rolled her eyes and said cunningly, "General Zuo, now that we have reached an agreement, are you considering giving up your position and letting my men go back to Nancheng to continue serving as county magistrates, and stop making things difficult for him?"

"Oh, you little brat, so you were waiting for me here! I was wondering why you came here to conduct a military exercise. After all this time, you are here just for this!" Zuo Wangfeng was stunned at first, then he reacted and glared at Gu Chan and scolded him.

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

Zuo Wang had a stern face and really wanted to beat Gu Chan up, but unfortunately both parties had already talked about it and he couldn't get angry anymore, lest Gu Chan bite him back and he would lose face, right?
