Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Leng Yu naturally didn't know Gu Chan's true identity.

After apologizing to Ye Tianyang, he quickly turned his head to look at Gu Chan and said, "Manager Gu, this is the Lord Mayor of our Yaoye City. Why are you still standing there? Salute quickly!"

"If you want me to salute him, I'm afraid he is not qualified." Gu Chan grinned, immediately crossed his arms and said arrogantly.

Leng Yu was so frightened that his eyes widened in surprise.

Ye Tianyang glared at Gu Chan and said, "You little brat! Are you so arrogant? Are all the people in Tiancang like you?"

"My Lord City Lord, please forgive me. He is young and cannot speak. Please don't take it to heart with him!" Leng Yu hurriedly said nice things.

Gu Chan waved her hand to stop him and said, "Okay, Manager Leng, go wait outside the door! I want to talk to your city lord alone."

"This..." Leng Yu was dumbfounded.

"Go wait outside the door and don't let anyone in. I want to see what tricks this brat is going to play on me." Ye Tianyang said coldly.

Leng Yu was so frightened that sweat broke out all over his body. He quickly turned around and walked out, closing the door and standing tremblingly at the door.

Gu Chan didn't waste any time talking to Ye Tianyang. She reached into the bag hanging around her waist, took out a yellow cloth package, opened it, took out the pure gold lord's dragon seal wrapped inside, held it in her hand and placed it in front of Ye Tianyang.

Ye Tianyang stood up in shock, stared at Gu Chan and said, "Is this the Dragon Seal of the Lord of Tiancang Kingdom?"

“As expected of the Lord of Yaoye City, you have quite a good vision.” Gu Chan said with a smile.

"It can't be fake, right?" Ye Tianyang said with a frown.

Gu Chan smiled faintly, "Take a closer look."

Ye Tianyang immediately stared at the Lord's Dragon Seal and looked at it carefully. After a while, he was sure that this Lord's Dragon Seal was indeed real.

The next second, he no longer dared to be so reserved, and immediately saluted Gu Chan and said, "Ye Tianyang, the Lord of Yaoye City on the border of Yexing Country, greets the Lord of Tiancang Country."

"Don't be nervous, sit down! Take a moment to recover. I still like the rebellious look you had just now." Gu Chan said with a smirk.

After saying that, she silently wrapped the lord's dragon seal with yellow cloth, put it back into the bag around her waist, and then walked to the chair opposite him and sat down.

Ye Tianyang sat back in the chair behind him and suddenly felt like sitting on pins and needles.

He really couldn't understand why a lord came from Tiancang Kingdom at this critical juncture, and this person was actually a child.

And as far as he knew, there seemed to be only one lord of the Tiancang Kingdom who could be a child! That was the new lord of the Jiangnan area of ​​Tiancang Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Ye Tianyang said, "My Lord, I want to ask, are you the new Lord who took office not long ago in the Jiangnan area of ​​Tiancang Country?"

"That's right. My name is Gu Chan. I'm the Lord of Jiangnan in Tiancang Kingdom and the nominal seventeenth prince of the royal family." Gu Chan said confidently and calmly.

"Then why did you come to the border of my Yexing Country? Some time ago, wasn't there a dragon causing floods in your Jiangnan area, drowning many people? Shouldn't you be rescuing the people now?" Ye Tianyang asked, spreading his hands.

Gu Chan sighed and said, "To be honest, I came here for this very reason. The flood caused a shortage of money and food in the Jiangnan area, and the people are having a hard time, so I wanted to do business with you and exchange some money and food."

"Why doesn't your Tiancang Kingdom's court distribute disaster relief silver and relief grain?" Ye Tianyang asked.

Gu Chan had no choice but to tell the whole story of her life-and-death fight with the prince.

After Ye Tianyang understood the whole story, all his doubts were resolved. When he looked at Gu Chan again, he was no longer restless, but full of admiration for her.

He clasped his fists and bowed to Gu Chan. He said admiringly, "No wonder you are so young, yet you have become the lord of a place. Such strength is indeed admirable. Even though I have traveled to many countries and boasted of my great learning, I still cannot compare to you!"

"Are you trying to flatter me?" Gu Chan asked with a smile.

"No, this is my sincere admiration." Ye Tianyang said very seriously.

Gu Chan quickly clasped her fists in return to show her gratitude.

Ye Tianyang suddenly changed the subject and said, "Lord, I have to tell you the truth. I'm afraid you came at a bad time. I'm also overwhelmed by the strange disease that has spread across the border. I can't take care of myself. I really can't help you with the matter of borrowing money and food."

"Look at what you said. I'm not asking you to borrow money or food. I'm asking you to do business with me!" Gu Chan said cunningly.

At first, she wanted to come here and borrow money from the city lord, but after Wei Xing gave her some advice, she realized that borrowing money was unreliable and far less reliable than doing business.

Therefore, in this situation, she would never talk about the word borrowing lightly.

Ye Tianyang asked curiously, "What do you want to exchange for me?"

"I'll help you cure your strange disease in exchange for money, and I'll use the new weapons I developed in exchange for food." Gu Chan said solemnly.

"Are you serious? Can you really help me cure my strange disease?" Ye Tianyang became excited and asked hurriedly.

Gu Chan said calmly, "I can't guarantee that I can help you solve your strange disease, but you can try. If I can solve it, you can give me money. If I can't solve it, I don't want your money. This is okay!"

"That's fine. How much silver do you need?" Ye Tianyang asked.

"This flood submerged nearly 70% of the land in the Jiangnan area, and many people were affected. I and my officials have calculated that at least 2 billion taels of silver will be needed." Gu Chan said frankly.

Ye Tianyang was surprised. "No way! Isn't the area south of your Tiancang country so rich? Even if the local officials and merchants put their money together, there is no way they can't come up with this little money!"

"There's no other way. I've already taken out 3 billion taels of silver from their pockets and sent it to the border of Tiancang Country to help the people there. So they really don't have much money now, and I'm embarrassed to take money out of their pockets anymore. I can only go abroad to take money out of your pocket." Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

"Hahaha……"

Ye Tianyang burst into laughter at Gu Chan's confession.

Originally, he was still wary of Gu Chan, but at this moment, he chose to believe Gu Chan.

After all, everything Gu Chan did was for the people under her rule. It was no exaggeration to say that she was a good lord. Such a person was certainly worthy of his making friends with.

After laughing for a while, Ye Tianyang stopped laughing and said, "You are indeed much more sincere than the previous Second Prince Xuanyuan Lie. That bastard is really not a good guy. He came to me several times, but I rejected him every time."

"I heard about this, but don't worry, he will never bother you again. He was forced by the prince to commit suicide by taking poison." Gu Chan sighed.

Ye Tianyang was not surprised. Instead, he shook his head and smiled faintly, as if he had expected Xuanyuan Lie's tragic ending.
