Chapter 516 The old gang leader is not simple
When Gu Chan came to the Buddhist hall, she found Wei Xing and the nine-fingered old beggar chatting animatedly.
She walked up to the two of them and sat down next to them. She asked curiously, "Why are you talking so happily?"
"We are talking about national affairs!" Wei Xing said with a strange smile.
"What major national event?" Gu Chan asked curiously.
Wei Xing blinked and said, "Let's talk about when the emperor will abdicate and whether the prince can successfully ascend the throne and become the new emperor of Tiancang Kingdom."
"It depends on how many princes have died. Now the most competitive second prince has committed suicide by taking poison. I wonder who of the remaining ninth princes and other competitive princes will die," Gu Chan said, spreading his hands.
History is always surprisingly similar. If a prince wants to ascend to the throne, he must get rid of the threats around him. Otherwise, even if he takes the throne, he will be on pins and needles and feel uneasy.
The nine-fingered old beggar laughed and said, "Then you can speculate on the holy will! Who do you think the emperor wants to sit on the dragon throne the most?"
"Nonsense, if I were the emperor, Son, I must pass the throne to that brat Xuanyuan Qing. He is both civil and military and responsible for the people. The future of Tiancang Kingdom will only be in his hands." Gu Chan said angrily.
The nine-fingered old beggar suddenly fell silent, closed his eyes and chanted the sutra silently.
Gu Chan said with a strange smile, "Old gang leader, I have never seen you worship Buddha every day before! Why have you been so diligent recently? I often see you chanting sutras in front of the Buddha statue!"
“This is the best Is the prince dead? I want to chant more sutras to help him. After all, the people in Jiangnan have not had a hard time during the years he has been the lord of Jiangnan, so we cannot say that he is a bad person at all. Smile explained.
Gu Chan reached out and scratched her head. Although she didn't fully understand the meaning of the old man's words, she admitted that what he said was indeed the truth.
Although Xuanyuan Lie was arrogant and good-looking, he still had his own principles for dealing with the people. Therefore, after he committed suicide by taking poison, no one in the Jiangnan area said anything bad about him. Instead, they all felt that he was dead. What a pity.
Wei Xing reached out and touched Gu Chan and said, "Let's go! Let's go chat outside in the yard. Don't disturb the old gang leader from chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha."
"That's fine." Gu Chan nodded in agreement.
Then the two got up and left the Buddhist hall, and sat down at the stone table in the yard outside.
Gu Chan asked, "What do you want to talk about when you come to me so early in the morning?"
"Aren't you both lords? Then there's no need to hide our relationship! You have to give me a back door and help me dominate the green and red shops in the north of Jiangnan City," Wei Xing said with a smile.
"Let me go, with your ability and means, why do you need to come to my place and use the back door? Are you insulting yourself! Or are you insulting me? The first general under my command, Gu Chan, brought all the way from Zhongyuan City, will Don’t you even have this ability?” Gu Chan put on a high hat.
Wei Xing was dumbfounded for a moment. He really didn't expect that Gu Chan would act so unconventionally.
Originally, he wanted to unify Qingpu and Hongpu in the north of Jiangnan City. As long as the lord Gu Chan said a word, it would be an easy thing. But judging from the current situation, it seems that Gu Chan is not willing to do anything at all. I plan to open this back door for him!
This made him look very embarrassed.
Gu Chan said with a bad smile, "Okay, you can go back and work hard! You don't need to ask me to open the back door for this matter. Now is the time for the four of you to prove your abilities, so don't embarrass me. ”
"Okay! Now that you've said so, there's nothing I can do." Wei Xing said helplessly, spreading his hands.
Gu Chan was about to get up and go back to catch up on her sleep. Wei Xing suddenly reached out and grabbed her and said, "Don't worry! I have something else to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Gu Chan was confused.
Wei Xing turned his head and looked into the Buddhist hall, then whispered, "I have an intuition that this old leader of the Beggar Clan is not simple. I have been chatting with him about heaven since I came in the morning. Regarding Cang Kingdom, I found that he knows everything about many important national affairs and has unique insights. You have to be careful with him.”
"Indeed, I thought there was something wrong with him before, especially the ideas he gave me. Every one of them was really on point, and he helped me save the day every time. I wondered if he was the one who came to Jiangnan for me. The noble person I met later," Gu Chan said with a frown.
At first she thought that the noble person shown in her hexagram should be Chang Wei, but later she found that Chang Wei did not seem to meet the standards of a noble person.
On the other hand, the nine-fingered old beggar really always gave her the best guidance when she was in the most difficult situation, so that she would not lose her direction, so now she also felt that Wei Xing There's nothing wrong with that.
Wei Xing grinned and said, "Anyway, just be careful. I'm going back."
"Go! Get rid of those sensual places in the north of Jiangnan City as soon as possible. I will have a big job in the future." Use it," Gu Chan reminded.
Wei Xing nodded affirmatively.
The two of them stopped talking and he immediately stood up and said goodbye to Gu Chan and left.
After he left, Gu Chan suppressed her doubts and went back to the back room to catch up on her sleep.
And time passed quickly, and half a month passed quietly in the blink of an eye.
In the past half month, Gu Chan had a very relaxed life every day. Because of the reduction of taxes, the people in the Jiangnan area worked hard and earned more money than before. Everyone also They all supported Gu Chan, which allowed her to secure her position as the lord of Jiangnan.
Yan Xishan and Guo Huai had organized dozens of flying mystical beast teams according to their previous plan. Based on the number of five flying mystical beasts in each team, these dozens of flying mystical beast teams were enough. Hundreds of flying mysterious beasts.
Gu Chan had five flying mysterious beast teams set off in the dark every day, flying to the top of the Prince's waterway army to sprinkle oil. Because it was still winter, the cold air hit at night, mixed with oil, and naturally it became The oil rain fell down, and it was regarded as dousing all the boats on which the waterway army was riding.
This evening.
While Gu Chan was having dinner in the Zen room in the backyard, Yan Xishan came to her in a hurry and said, "Lord, something serious has happened."
"What's wrong?" Gu Chan asked, putting down the bowl and chopsticks.
"The prince's water army has already entered the Tiancang River from the tributaries with five large ships." Yan Xishan said anxiously while wiping the sweat on his forehead.
Gu Chan's face darkened, "Why so fast? Didn't the guys from the Flying Mysterious Beast Team who went to pour oil last night come back to report that they are still floating on the tributary?"
"There is no way, there is a strong wind tonight, and the five big ships have big main sails, so they can run very fast with the wind. The dozen or so ships behind are smaller, and their main sails are not that big, so they go slower." Yan Xishan explained.
"Then who is leading the five ships that are entering Tiancang River?" Gu Chan asked.
“It’s Prince Nanxian and his son.” Yan Xishan said calmly.
Gu Chan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then her stiff face changed, and a cold smirk suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth.
