Chapter 505 You are unkind and I am unjust
That afternoon, the nine-fingered old beggar, surrounded by many beggars, moved to the Jigong Temple on East Street.
The mangy dog and the dozen or so beggar-heads were dumbfounded when they saw how magnificent the new temple was.
As soon as everyone entered the temple, it was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. They looked like they had never seen the world. The mangy dog even said, "Gang leader, who is the master who gave you this temple? Why do I feel that he is so awesome?" What about? ”
"Who? Isn't it your little beggar Gu Chan?" the nine-fingered old beggar said angrily.
"Ah? How could it be him?" The mangy dog's eyes widened in shock, and he couldn't believe his ears.
The other beggars were all dumbfounded.
At this time, Gu Chan walked out of the Buddhist hall, ran to the nine-fingered old beggar and said, "Old gang leader, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"You guys move the things to me in the back yard. I want to have a chat with him alone. No one can disturb us." The nine-fingered old beggar ordered.
The mangy dog and the others nodded in agreement, picked up those rags and ran towards the backyard quickly.
The nine-fingered old beggar followed Gu Chan into the Buddhist hall.
The two of them came to sit side by side in front of the golden Buddha statue. The nine-fingered old beggar said, "How is it? I've been thinking about it all afternoon. How are you thinking about it?"
"To be honest, I have no interest at all in who will be the emperor of Tiancang Kingdom. Now I just want to protect myself and all my family members. When the time of crisis comes, I will make it clear to the prince. At worst, I won't be able to protect anyone else." If you don’t want to help, just do my business well,” Gu Chan said frankly.
The nine-fingered old beggar sighed in disappointment.
Gu Chan smiled bitterly and said, "Old gang leader, you really think highly of me. I'm not that great! I used to get involved in these big troubles just because I was hot-headed. Now I'm very clear-headed. Waiting for this Once the task is completed, I will quit and just do business and make money to support my family.”
"It doesn't matter, everyone has their own ambitions, so I won't give you any more advice." The nine-fingered old beggar shook his head and said.
After saying that, he was about to get up and leave, going back to the backyard to rest.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened. Di Lin and Yuan Jie rushed in from outside the temple, and then ran quickly into the Buddhist hall.
When Gu Chan saw the two people coming, she looked confused and said, "Why are you here?"
"Shopkeeper, no, something big has happened." Di Lin ran to Gu Chan and stopped, breathing heavily.
Yuan Jie was bent over, panting from exhaustion and unable to speak at all.
Gu Chan told the two of them to sit down and rest. After they took a breath, he said calmly, "What has made you so anxious? Speak slowly and don't be anxious."
"Cheng Hao and Yuanying were arrested in Nancheng. That bitch, King Nanxian, has now surrendered to the Crown Prince. On his order, they were taken into prison and imprisoned. We just got the news!"
"The official who came to deliver the message was also seriously injured and dying. He is now lying on the merchant ship. I don't know if he can survive."
The two explained anxiously.
Gu Chan's face instantly turned ashen.
Sure enough, Prince Nanxian and his son are really beasts! The second prince here had just committed suicide by taking poison, and over there they fell to the prince in Nancheng and helped him deal with his own people.
The nine-fingered old beggar shook his head and said, "Look! I told you that the prince will never let you go, and now his people haven't even reached the Jiangnan area! He has started to eradicate your people, and now he is just eradicating you. I'm afraid that after a while, he will take action against all your family members in Zhongyuan City. "Damn it! I don't want to mess with you, but you still mess with me. You really think I am Gu Chan." Are you easy to bully?" Gu Chan gritted her teeth angrily and shouted.
Thinking about this afternoon, she had already made a decision not to confront the prince, but now it was better, but the prince attacked her first without asking.
If she doesn't fight back, I'm afraid, as the Nine-fingered Old Beggar said, her entire family in Zhongyuan City will be the next to suffer.
Di Lin suddenly knelt down and said, "Shopkeeper, Cheng Hao and I are brothers who have died. No matter what, I beg you to save him."
"Shopkeeper, I also kneel down for you. Yuanying is my biological sister! I can't just watch her die in Nancheng." Yuan Jie also knelt down and kowtowed.
Gu Chan said angrily, "Can you get up and sit down first and stop causing trouble for me? We are in Jiangnan City now, so far away from Nancheng. Even if we fly over to save them, it will be too late, so no matter what happens now, we will be safe." Don’t panic yet.”
After Gu Chan said this, the two of them quickly stood up and sat down without causing any more trouble.
The nine-fingered old beggar said, "It's actually very simple to save your two men in Nancheng now. It depends on whether you dare to do it or not."
"Okay, old gang leader, you can have a good rest! I know what to do. His prince is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust." Gu Chan said coldly.
Di Lin asked curiously, "Shopkeeper, what are you going to do next?"
"Don't worry about it now. Go back to the Dahuaxia and take good care of the officer who brought the message. You must revive him. As for rescuing Cheng Hao and Yuanying, leave it to me." Gu Chan ordered. explain.
Di Lin and Yuan Jie nodded affirmatively.
After that, the two of them calmed down temporarily and left the temple as arranged by Gu Chan.
After they left, Gu Chan rushed directly to the Yushi Mansion without any hesitation.
At this time, in the front yard of the Yushi Mansion.
Hundreds of officials and many large households were present in the Jiangnan area. Everyone was running around anxiously, not knowing what to do.
Yan Xishan, Bai Jingtian, and Guo Huai were sitting on the three chairs in front of them. Their faces were stiff and they couldn't even fart.
"I say Master Yan! Don't be so depressed! You have to give us an explanation!"
"That's right, I heard that the Crown Prince's men and horses have already arrived in Nancheng. According to the speed of their march, I'm afraid they will have to enter Jiangnan in seven days. What will we do then?"
"Master Yan, do you have any instructions from Kyoto?"
Everyone couldn't bear it anymore and questioned Yan Xishan one after another.
Yan Xishan was sitting on the chair, his whole body was limp. Even though he seemed so calm without saying a word, in fact, he was already in a panic inside and had no idea at all.
The most important thing is that he is the censor of the capital of Jiangnan and the largest official in Jiangnan. If he wants to run away, it is impossible. But if he doesn't run away, the prince's people will come and he will be the first one. He is the one who takes care of it.
So at this moment, he was riding a tiger, unable to get off, and was extremely embarrassed.
