Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Yan Kuan jumped off his horse, walked up to Zuo Wangfeng, clasped his fists and saluted.

"General Zuo, admit defeat! There is no need to continue."

"Brothers, go back, break camp and return to Kyoto." After a long silence, Zuo Wangfeng finally turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him.

All the soldiers responded in unison, immediately jumped on their horses and left.

Zuo Wangfeng put the long sword in his hand into the scabbard at his waist, then jumped on the horse's back, looked up at Gu Chan and said, "You should be careful in the future. Once I go back this time, I don't know what method the prince will use to deal with you next."

"Thank you, General, for the reminder." Gu Chan clasped his fists in return.

Zuo Wangfeng smiled bitterly, spurred his horse and rode away.

At dusk in the afternoon, Zuo Wangfeng and his soldiers broke camp and left. The farce ended in this way.

Three days later, the entire Jiangnan area returned to its previous tranquility and peace. All the former members of the Second Prince's Party now joined Gu Chan and became the real Seventeenth Prince's Party.

Gu Chan has completely secured the throne of the lord of Jiangnan.

At this time, she was also regarded as a thorn in the eyes of the royal family of Tiancang Kingdom, and her situation was worrying.

Gu Chan didn't care about all this and continued to strengthen the defense in the Jiangnan area step by step according to her plan.

That night, when Gu Chan was in the study room in the backyard, looking at the reports sent from all over Jiangnan and having a headache, Wei Xing walked in with a grin, stood in front of the desk and said, "Little Boss, something happened, do you want to go and take a look?"

"Don't bother me with trivial matters. Don't you see that I'm having a headache looking at all these reports?" Gu Chan said unhappily.

"This matter is neither small nor big. I still suggest you go and take a look." Wei Xing said with a strange smile.

Gu Chan stopped what she was doing, looked up at him and asked, "What's going on?"

"You'll know if you come with me to see it," Wei Xing said.

Gu Chan immediately stood up and left the study with him, walking towards the gate of the lord's mansion.

When the two arrived at the gate, the scene in front of them instantly stunned Gu Chan.

I saw Ren Nanshan leading several guards and surrounding a carriage. Zuo Yun was sitting in front of the carriage, looking as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

Gu Chan quickly stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing so late at night?"

"Master, this bastard actually wants to run away in the middle of the night." Ren Nanshan said angrily.

"His father has already led the army back to Kyoto. If he wants to run, let him run! Why keep him around?" Gu Chan said speechlessly.

Ren Nanshan was so angry that his face turned red. He cursed, "It's fine if he ran away, but he also tied up our Miss Yuan Jie and put her in the carriage. He was planning to kidnap her!"

"Ah?" Gu Chan's eyes widened in shock.

She stepped forward and pulled aside the curtain of the carriage. She indeed found that Yuan Jie was tied up in the carriage with a cloth stuffed in her mouth, unable to speak.

Gu Chan reached out and pulled Zuo Yun off the carriage, shouting, "Damn it, you've been eating my food and living my house all this time, and now you're leaving and you want to kidnap all my women, right?"

"What's the big deal? You owe me this. I didn't take anything else from you. I just took away a woman like you. What's the big deal?" Zuo Yun said nonchalantly.

"When did I owe you anything? Are you sick?" Gu Chan cursed angrily.

"In the last offensive and defensive battle, I didn't help my father, otherwise, do you think you could win so easily? And I even helped you persuade my father to stop! Do you think you owe me anything?" Zuo Yun said with a wry smile.

Gu Chan was stunned on the spot. For a moment, she couldn't find any reason to refute. She also admitted that what Zuo Yun said was indeed true. If he had helped Zuo Wangfeng before, with his modern wisdom and strategy, he would have caused her a lot of trouble, and she would not have defeated Zuo Wangfeng so easily.

So in this situation, it would be difficult for her to turn her back on him.

Wei Xing stood aside and said, "Even if our master owes you a favor, you can't kidnap Yuan Jie! Just tell us what you want. As the Lord of Jiangnan, can't our master give it to you?"

"I've fallen in love with this woman. Just give her to me. And to be honest, I slept with her last night. She's already mine." Zuo Yun patted Gu Chan's shoulder and said with a smirk.

"boom!"

Gu Chan was so angry that she raised her leg and kicked Zuo Yun, knocking him to the ground on the spot. He grimaced in pain.

Ren Nanshan was furious and said, "Master, look at this brat, he is really a scoundrel. The girl hasn't even agreed yet! He used some tricks to sleep with her and then kidnapped her. I really want to chop him to pieces."

"Forget it! With Yuan Jie's ability, if she really doesn't want him to sleep, how can she succeed?" Gu Chan said with her hands spread out.

After saying this, she just stood there, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Isn’t this obvious?

The two of them were attracted to each other, but Yuan Jie couldn't just ask to leave, so they came up with this trick of self-torture and exposed the matter.

Wei Xing was of course much smarter than Ren Nanshan. He had seen through the matter long ago and was not angry at all. Instead, he was happy for Yuan Jie in his heart.

Reaching out his hand to stop Ren Nanshan, he walked forward to help Zuo Yun up from the ground and said, "You are faster than me! Otherwise, Yuan Jie will be mine from now on."

"Tsk! She doesn't like you. You're not her type." Zuo Yun said with a wry smile.

Gu Chan shook her head speechlessly, then jumped onto the carriage, reached out to untie the rope tied to Yuan Jie, and whispered in her ear, "You have to think it over. If you go with him tonight, you will no longer belong to me, Gu Chan. If he treats you badly, beats you, scolds you, and abandons you, what will you do?"

"Master, if that's the case, I will kill him and then commit suicide." Yuan Jie said in a firm tone.

"Okay, I understand. It seems that you are determined to follow him. In that case, I won't stop you." Gu Chan said with a smile.

After saying this, she got out of the carriage and immediately ordered someone to take a box of banknotes and a box of jewelry and give them to Yuan Jie.

Yuan Jie was so moved that she burst into tears. She jumped off the carriage, knelt down in front of Gu Chan and cried, "Master, I will remember your kindness to me for the rest of my life. If you are in trouble one day, I will come back to help you. Even if it means sacrificing my life, I will do it."

"Alright, alright, get up quickly and stop crying. Keep these two boxes of things well in the future and don't give them to him easily. This is my dowry to you. Even if he treats you badly, you have the confidence to leave." Gu Chan helped Yuan Jie up and said with tears in her eyes.

"Woooooooo..."

After hearing this, Yuan Jie couldn't hold back any longer and opened her arms to hug Gu Chan, crying even harder.
