Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Gu Chan pretended nothing had happened.

"We're already home, why are you still standing? Hurry up and sit down to eat hot pot!"

"Brother Gu, have I done anything to offend you recently?" Zuo Yun pulled over a chair and sat down, asking cautiously.

"No! Why are you asking?" Gu Chan spread his hands and said.

Anyway, Zuo Yun's sudden words really made her a little confused.

Zuo Yun's eyes widened, as if he remembered something. He suddenly reached into his sleeve, took out a stack of banknotes and stuffed them into Gu Chan's hand. "Oh! Oh, I remember now. Last time we worked together to fish underwater, we made a lot of money during this period, but I haven't given you a share yet! Here is a thousand taels of banknotes. Keep it first. I'll give you a share next time I make money."

"You misunderstood. I'm not asking you for money." Gu Chan said unhappily.

How could Zuo Yun dare to believe her easily?

After all, right now she feels like she is helping Princess Thirteen to deal with him!

In this situation, he certainly didn't dare to be negligent. After all, Princess Thirteen was enough for him to deal with. If Gu Chan was added to the mix, he might not even know how he died.

The Thirteenth Princess quickly tried to smooth things over and said, "My husband, you don't have to be so cautious. Today, I just asked Prince Chan to come and help me move, so the three of us are just having a small gathering."

"Really? Why do you two look like you are trying to trick me?" Zuo Yun said shrewdly.

Gu Chan laughed and said, "Okay, why are you thinking so much? Eat quickly, I have to go back after I finish eating."

"Then you keep this silver for now. When I make more money from the underwater restaurant, I will slowly give you a share of the profits." Zuo Yun said.

In order to dispel his concerns, Gu Chan had no choice but to nod and accept the 1,000 taels of silver.

Then the three of them ate hot pot together.

In order to make Zuo Yun feel safe, Gu Chan kept chatting with him about the emergence of the Five Elements Sect in the Jiangnan area. This made Zuo Yun feel that Gu Chan was looking for him to discuss important matters, and he became less wary.

Princess Thirteen took this opportunity to continuously pour wine for Zuo Yun, and the wine she poured for Zuo Yun was mixed with the "Ahhh" pill that Gu Chan had given her before.

She and Gu Chan drank another pot of normal wine.

After drinking for more than thirty minutes, when the three of them had almost finished eating, the pot of wine with the added ingredients was finally finished by Zuo Yun.

Seeing this, Gu Chan immediately gave Princess Thirteen a look.

The Thirteenth Princess understood and said, "My husband, you are chatting with Prince Chan. I am a little tired from moving today, so I will go back to my room to rest."

"Well! You go and have a rest! We'll chat for a while and then leave." Zuo Yun nodded.

The Thirteenth Princess smiled sweetly, then immediately stood up and left the hall obediently, returning to her boudoir in the backyard.

Gu Chan and Zuo Yun continued to eat and chat in the lobby.

After the Thirteenth Princess returned to her boudoir, she immediately followed Gu Chan's plan and changed into a transparent gauze robe, wearing only a red bellyband underneath. She lay on the bed with her body half covered and half exposed, waiting quietly.

In the lobby, after chatting for a while, Zuo Yun suddenly felt hot all over and dizzy.

Gu Chan said with a sly smile, "Why are you sweating so much?"

"I don't know, it's so hot anyway. It must be because I haven't had such a spicy hot pot in a long time." Zuo Yun said as he took off his robe.

"Why don't you stay here and accompany Princess Thirteen tonight." Gu Chan advised.

Zuo Yun said with a bitter face, "How dare I provoke her? What if I don't do what she wants and she beats me up? What should I do then?"

"She's married to you now, so of course she's different now. Don't always look at her with the same eyes as before." Gu Chan said with a faint smile.

"It's easy to change the country but difficult to change one's nature. Okay, let's stop talking and go! I have to go back to the Kyoto camp to deal with some things. Ever since Prince Cheng and Prince Qin went to the south of the Yangtze River, Prince Chen has been acting very arrogant. He even went to the Kyoto camp to threaten me during the day!" Zuo Yun said as he wiped the hot sweat from his forehead.

Gu Chan asked curiously, "The Prince Chen you are talking about is the last one among the three princes of Kyoto?"

"Yeah! Who else could it be besides him?" Zuo Yun said angrily.

"Why did he go to the Kyoto camp to intimidate you?" Gu Chan asked.

"He used to be the general of Kyoto, and the entire Kyoto camp was under his charge. Later, when he got old, the late emperor sympathized with him and allowed him to unload the heavy burden and handed it over to my father. But the problem is that many of the elderly people in the Kyoto camp were promoted by him, and most of the time their hearts are still on his side. He also likes to meddle in other people's business, and he is always threatening me." Zuo Yun said bitterly.

Gu Chan put his hand on his chin and thought secretly.

During the time she came to Kyoto, she had come into contact with King Cheng and King Qin successively, and through Maozi and Bawang tea, she became friends with both of them and had them under her control.

But she had never met King Chen. Most importantly, King Chen usually ignored her, as if he didn't take her seriously at all. So until now, she didn't know how powerful King Chen was.

Thinking of this, Gu Chan asked, "Will King Chen go to the Kyoto camp tomorrow?"

"Nonsense! He can't wait to drive us father and son away and regain control of the Kyoto camp! Naturally, he will come over tomorrow to put pressure on me." Zuo Yun said helplessly.

"Then why don't you ask your father to deal with him?" Gu Chan asked.

"My father respects him as a senior. He usually avoids him and is unwilling to argue with him. Otherwise, with my father's strength, he would have knocked the old man down long ago." Zuo Yun said with his hands spread out.

Gu Chan grinned, and then she realized that it turned out that King Chen was picking the soft persimmons to squeeze.

Since Zuo Wangfeng was strong, he was unwilling to confront him head-on and only picked on Zuo Yun to deal with.

After understanding this, Gu Chan said with a wicked smile, "Brother-in-law, don't say I won't help you. You have to listen to me. Don't go back tonight. Then tomorrow you can take a carriage to Prince Chan's mansion to pick me up. I will accompany you to deal with Prince Chen. What do you think?"

"Isn't Yuan Jie at your house? I'll go with you tonight to accompany Yuan Jie, and then you can go to the Kyoto camp with me early tomorrow morning, right?" Zuo Yun said unhappily.

After saying that, he immediately stood up, pulled Gu Chan and walked towards the door.

Anyway, he didn't want to stay in the princess's mansion any longer. He just wanted to follow Gu Chan to Prince Chan's mansion to accompany Yuan Jie.

Seeing that he was still sober and persistent even after the drug took effect, Gu Chan didn't want to force him anymore, so she decided to take him back to her house to accompany Yuan Jie.

But just as she was thinking this, Zuo Yun's eyes suddenly became blurred, and then he stretched out his arms and directly hugged Gu Chan into his arms.

"Oh my god! What are you doing? Don't do anything rash!" Gu Chan was startled and shouted.

"It's hot. I'm so hot! I can't stand it." Zuo Yun said in a daze.

Gu Chan quickly pushed him away, called two servants to carry him to the backyard, one on each side, and sent him to the Thirteenth Princess's boudoir.
