Chapter 519: Hungry for three days before talking
Gu Chanli ignored him, but turned to look at the soldiers on the ten flower boats.
"Everyone, since you are here, then enjoy the scenery of Jiangnan. In the next period of time, you can have fun in these flower boats on the Tiancang River. All expenses will be covered by this prince."
"Thank you, Seventeenth Prince." All the soldiers thanked him in unison, not to mention how happy they were.
Originally, they all thought that Gu Chan would definitely deal with them this time, but the fact was contrary to their imagination. Not to mention, the treatment was so good, how could they not be excited about it.
Especially the girls from the south of the Yangtze River on the flower boat, all of them are slim, graceful and gentle, which makes them, the men from the north, fall in love with them.
At this time, another official ship came over.
Gu Chan immediately jumped onto the official ship. Nangong Song, who was sitting there, said anxiously, "You're just going to leave like that?"
"Then what do you want from me? Why don't you throw these soldiers into the water?" Gu Chan said angrily.
Nangong Song was so frightened that he shut his mouth and did not dare to say any more.
Gu Chan looked at Yan Xishan and ordered, "Bring them here and escort them back to the Yushi Mansion to entertain them well."
"Yes, Lord." Yan Xishan responded respectfully.
Then he led all the officials and escorted Prince Nanxian and his son to the official ship, and returned to Jiangnan City by boat with Gu Chan.
The soldiers dispersed along with the ten flower boats and went to various parts of the Tiancang River. They couldn't get together at all, but they didn't care so much at the moment. Anyway, they would eat, drink and have fun during the next period of time. Someone is paying for Erle, so they just need to enjoy it. This is far better than coming to Jiangnan to fight with Gu Chan and others!
On the other hand, Prince Nanxian and his son were slumped on the bow of the official ship at this moment, their faces extremely pale.
They never expected that Gu Chan would disperse the many soldiers they brought with just such a simple move, and also use the flower boat to win over the hearts of the soldiers.
After that, these soldiers were immersed in the gentle countryside, where could they think of fighting!
Besides, if the father and son were arrested and taken to the Censor's Mansion now, life would definitely be difficult, but they had no way to resist and had no choice but to admit defeat.
After dawn, the official ship finally arrived safely at Changshi Wharf on the Jiangnan River and stopped.
Gu Chan and Yan Xishan led the officials and escorted Prince Nanxian and his son off the ship, and escorted them back to the Censor's Mansion in Jiangnan City.
Back at the Censor's Mansion, Gu Chan directly asked Yan Xishan to put the two of them into a room in the backyard, and then ignored them.
Yan Xishan said with a worried look, "Lord, after all, these two people were sent by the Crown Prince to lead the charge. Wouldn't it be good to put them under house arrest like this? Do I have to entertain them with good wine and good food?" ”
"Fuck you, let me starve them for three days first. In the next three days, if any of you dare to give them anything to eat, and I find out, I will give you fifty first." Gu Chan said coldly. explain.
"Yes, Lord." Yan Xishan trembled with fright and hurriedly responded.
Gu Chan said no more, immediately got up and left the Censor's Mansion, returning to Jigong Temple to catch up on her sleep.
And in the next three days, because of Gu Chan's order, no one in the Yushi Mansion dared to approach the room where Prince Nanxian and his son were imprisoned.
The father and son were so hungry that they chewed up the legs of the table in the room. In the end, they collapsed on the ground from hunger, without even the strength to speak. At dusk that afternoon, when Gu Chan came to the Censor's Mansion again, Yan Xishan rushed to her and said, "Lord! Prince Nanxian and his son are so hungry that they are paralyzed on the floor of the house and cannot move. If this happens again, If we go down, something might happen to them! We can’t let them die in my house.”
"Well! It's time. You go and ask the servants to prepare a table of fragrant wine and food, and bring it to the stone table in the courtyard outside the room where they are detained. Then wait for the aroma to float for a while, and then follow me. "Gu Chan said with a bad smile.
Yan Xishan breathed a long sigh of relief, hurriedly agreed, and ordered his servants to prepare wine and food.
Gu Chan sat in the lobby and waited patiently.
Yan Xishan turned to say, "By the way, lord, the prince's men and horses taking the water route have entered the Tiancang River through the tributaries. If we can't stop them tonight, I'm afraid they will have to arrive at Chang's Wharf early tomorrow morning."
"How many people are there?" Gu Chan asked.
"The spy who came back from the Flying Mysterious Beast Team reported that there were more than 40 warships and about 20,000 soldiers. The leader was a famous female general named Shuiyue under the Crown Prince. This time she held the position of deputy general and was responsible for leading more than 20,000 soldiers to come over by water," Yan Xishan explained.
Gu Chan couldn't help frowning and muttering, "What's the origin of Shui Yue? When I went to Kyoto before, I had never heard of it! Can Tiancang Kingdom have such a capable female general?"
"I don't know much about this. Anyway, I just heard that she is a general who has emerged from Kyoto in the past two years. I don't know if she is the daughter of a wealthy family in Kyoto. Anyway, she is loyal to the prince. She is very loyal." Maybe he is a master secretly trained by the prince!" Yan Xishan said.
"Okay, it's not dark yet! Don't rush to block her. Let's get Prince Nanxian and his son into submission first." Gu Chan said calmly.
Yan Xishan nodded calmly on the surface, but in fact he was already impatient inside.
If Shuiyue is allowed to lead more than 20,000 soldiers and arrive safely at Chang's Wharf tomorrow morning, once they land, they will immediately break into Jiangnan City and come to the Censor's Mansion to capture him, the censor of the capital of Jiangnan.
Gu Chan could have run away or avoided it, but he couldn't avoid it!
So at this moment, he was very anxious and just hoped that Gu Chan could find a way to stop her as soon as possible.
Gu Chan was not in a hurry at all. She just sat on the chair with her legs crossed and drank fragrant tea, looking completely comfortable.
After a stick of incense, the servant came to report that the table of delicious food in the backyard was ready.
At this time, Gu Chan got up and took Yan Xishan out of the lobby and towards the backyard.
Soon the two of them arrived at the rear, in the small courtyard where Prince Nanxian and his son were imprisoned.
"Let us out... we want to eat..."
"Let us out quickly! We are going to starve to death..."
What's funny is that as soon as the two entered the courtyard, they heard the sound of Prince Nan Xian and his son shouting in the house.
Since both of them had been hungry for three days and three nights, they shouted intermittently and their voices were still soft, which made it clear that they were indeed very hungry.
Gu Chan suppressed her laughter and led Yan Xishan to sit down at the stone table. Then the two of them chatted while eating and drinking, not caring about the hungry Prince Nanxian and his son who were almost exhausted inside.
