Chapter 491: You have to jump even if it’s a pit
The nine-fingered old beggar reached out and patted Gu Chan on the head, saying angrily.
"Are you confused? You don't have that much ability. Spirit beasts do! Wouldn't it be over if you go to the spirit beast for help?"
"Ah? What kind of spiritual beast is so powerful? Can it also control the weather?" Gu Chan said in surprise.
To this day, she has seen four spiritual beasts. They are the big rooster Baidu, the four-legged snake Sogou, the big black bear, and the Mo Qilin. However, even these four spiritual beasts have not been able to change the world.
So at this moment, the Nine-fingered Old Beggar's statement still made her feel a little unbelievable.
The nine-fingered old beggar smiled lightly and said, "Although the Jiangnan River is a tributary of the Tiancang River, it is also an extremely huge river. There is a spiritual beast living in this river. Legend has it that it is a white spiritual beast. Turtle, it has the powerful ability to control weather changes.”
"You said this is just a legend! Who knows if there really is such a spirit turtle in the Jiangnan River." Gu Chan said angrily.
"How would you know if there is one if you don't look for it? What if you are lucky enough to find it!" said the nine-fingered old beggar.
Gu Chan lowered her head and thought about it, and felt that what he said made sense.
As the saying goes, everything that comes out of nowhere must have a sound. Since there is a legend about the spirit turtle, it is definitely not nonsense, and the most important thing is that she understands animal language! Maybe if you catch a random fish in the Jiangnan River, you can glean some information from its mouth?
Thinking like this, Gu Chan no longer had any suspicion, and immediately clasped her fists to the nine-fingered old beggar and said thanks, "Old gang leader, thank you for your advice. Now I have found some targets and know what to do."
< br>
"Go! If you can't find the spirit turtle, come to me again. I'll do another divination for you and give you a trick." The nine-fingered old beggar said with a strange smile.
Gu Chan immediately glanced at him, feeling that something was wrong with this old guy.
It was obvious that he had other ways to help her! But he didn't say anything, so he had to let her go find the spirit turtle first. Is this a problem?
The nine-fingered old beggar seemed to have read through Gu Chan's thoughts and said meaningfully, "Don't doubt me in your heart. I am the only one who can give you some advice at the moment to deal with this group of people in Jiangnan. If you don't listen to me, I guarantee you won’t be able to raise the remaining three billion taels of border relief money in the next four months.”
"Old gang leader, there's something wrong with you! Don't trick me. I am a person who must avenge myself." Gu Chan reminded him at the right moment.
"Even if I trick you, how can you not fall into the trap now? Do you have any other ways to deal with these people in Jiangnan?" The nine-fingered old beggar said as if he was convinced of Gu Chan.
Gu Chan spread her hands and pouted, sighing, "Yes, you're right, I was really embarrassed for a while."
"Okay, go find the spirit turtle quickly! If you can find it, I guarantee you will catch them off guard next time." The nine-fingered old beggar urged.
Gu Chan didn't say any more and immediately nodded and left.
As soon as she walked away, the nine-fingered old beggar grinned, and a strange black energy flashed in his eyes.
Halfway back to East Street.
"Damn it, we can't make it public about finding the spirit turtle. Why don't we go out of the city when it gets dark and find a place by the river to catch a fish and ask?"
Gu Chan muttered as she walked, and she really couldn't think of any other way.
After making the decision, she quickly rushed back to the ruined temple where she was staying temporarily.
When she came back, the white fox was still sleeping soundly in the haystack in front of the Buddha statue. Gu Chan walked to it and sat down, reached out and slapped it on the head and said, "You've been sleeping all day? Where do you come from all the time?" So much sleepiness?”
[Then I said I would accompany you to beg on the streets during the day, but you wouldn’t let me go. ] Bai Hu sat up and said with an aggrieved look. "Okay, let's eat quickly. We'll go fishing out of the city in the evening." Gu Chan said.
The white fox was stunned, [Master, do you want to eat fish? 】
"You damn fish, I'm looking for fish to get some information. The nine-fingered old beggar told me that there is a white turtle in the Jiangnan River. It can help me deal with those profiteers." Gu Chan explained.
[Is this nine-fingered old beggar reliable? ] White Fox asked.
"It's probably not very reliable, but I can't help it now. I have to deal with those profiteers first." Gu Chan said helplessly.
Baihu knew that Gu Chan was in a difficult situation right now, so he didn't complain anymore and immediately ate the food she brought back obediently.
After dark.
Gu Chan took Bai Hu quietly out of the city and rushed towards Jiangnan River.
The Ouchi guard sent by Xuanyuan Lie to spy on her saw her leaving the city and thought that she finally couldn't bear it anymore and was going to stay on the Dahuaxia, so he did not continue to follow her out, but hurried back to the Censor The government reports.
When he came to the study in the backyard of the Yushi Mansion.
Xuanyuan Lie was discussing some major issues in the Jiangnan area with Yan Xishan and Guo Huai.
Seeing that he was back, the three of them became quiet, and Xuanyuan Lie asked, "What's going on?"
"Back to the master, Gu Chan took his mysterious beast out of the city overnight and rushed towards the Jiangnan River." Ouchi guard Bing reported.
"It seems that this brat really can't hold on any longer and has to stay on his merchant ship." Xuanyuan Lie said proudly.
"Master, do I still need to continue to monitor him?" Ouchi guard asked.
Xuanyuan Lie shook his head and said, "No need, just force him out of the city and don't cause trouble for me in Jiangnan City. Now you go find Bai Jingtian and ask him to take my golden order to the Jiangnan camp to capture the current general Nan Xing." Come and see me.”
"Yes, Master." The Ouchi guard respectfully responded and left.
Yan Xishan hurriedly said, "Master, are you going to catch Nan Xing Kuang now? Is this too hasty?"
"Mr. Guo, what do you think?" Xuanyuan Lie looked at Guo Huai and asked.
Guo Huai pondered for a moment and then analyzed secretly, "The Crown Prince is taking frequent actions now, forcing the Second Prince to come to Jiangnan secretly in order to protect yourself. If at this juncture, you don't completely control the Jiangnan area, once If the prince takes action, you will surely fall into a place of eternal disaster.”
"Also, the Crown Prince is very clever. He first asked Gu Chan, a brat like him, to come over to Jiangnan to cause trouble and attract everyone's attention. Then he secretly ordered Nan Xingkuang to coordinate the Jiangnan camp. In my opinion, if you don't take action, Second Prince, Once Nan Xing Kuang makes a move, you will definitely die here.”
"So... strike first to gain the upper hand, strike later to be defeated, Nan Xing Kuang will definitely get rid of him."
By the end, Guo Huai's tone had become extremely cruel.
As a member of the second prince's party, he deeply understood that only when the second prince was alive could they live a better life. Once the second prince was in the hands of the crown prince, the prince would then bloodbath the second prince's gang members in the Jiangnan area, and their doom would be over. Just arrived.
Therefore, at this time, we must first get rid of Nan Xingkuang, the biggest lackey of the prince in Jiangnan area.
