Chapter 533 Extremely helpless
On the flower boat, Gu Chan looked at the two returning Zuo Wangfeng and smiled from ear to ear.
The nine-fingered old beggar turned his head and looked at the old academician standing aside and said, "You go into the cabin and talk to the girls. I have something to say to the lord alone."
"Okay, you guys can chat." The old academician agreed hastily and hid in the cabin.
The nine-fingered old beggar immediately glared at Gu Chan and reprimanded, "You brat, how can you make fun of the late Emperor? You are just fooling around. If the royal family finds out, they will be beheaded."
"Oops! This is also a white lie!" Gu Chan said while holding back a laugh.
As she spoke, she walked to the table and sat down, smiling playfully at the nine-fingered old beggar.
The nine-fingered old beggar said angrily, "You are now the lord of the Jiangnan area. No matter what you do or say before you say anything, you must think about it first. You cannot act recklessly. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you will be in danger." , and it is related to the reputation of the royal family, how can you talk nonsense and insult the reputation of the emperor?"
"No, why are you so anxious? Do you have anything to do with the royal family? Why are you speaking for the royal family?" Gu Chan said angrily.
The nine-fingered old beggar was stunned, and quickly covered it up, saying, "I'm just worried about you. The affairs of the royal family have nothing to do with me."
"Then you will cooperate with me from now on and play the role of the Supreme Emperor's exiled old son. Why don't you just get married? Why are you so angry? Let me tell you, everything I have done is a bit of nonsense, but this is all For the sake of peace in the Jiangnan area, Gu Chan reached out and patted her chest.
"Stop justifying your nonsense." The nine-fingered old beggar said angrily.
"I really have no excuses. If I don't use this method tonight to stop Zuo Wangfeng, once I let him go to Jiangnan Camp and force Nan Xingkuang to hand over, he won't have to lead his troops into Jiangnan City anymore. I can take over the Jiangnan camp by water, and by then, all my efforts will be in vain," Gu Chan explained.
The nine-fingered old beggar fell silent and did not deny it. Gu Chan's statement was indeed correct.
After all, this time Zuo Wangfeng led an army of 100,000 people to take over the Jiangnan area for the prince. Once Nan Xingkuang was forced to give up the Jiangnan camp and he led his army to garrison it, it would be useless for Gu Chan to struggle in the future.
Therefore, if we stop him now, we can buy some time.
Gu Chan added, "Besides, who knows if the Supreme Emperor left any illegitimate children when he came to Jiangnan when he was young? I'm not telling a rumor! I can only say that this possibility has been raised."< br>
"You stinky brat...you..." The nine-fingered old beggar raised his finger and pointed at Gu Chan, so angry that he didn't even know what to say.
Gu Chan rolled her eyes and said slyly, "Okay, old gang leader, don't be angry. I know I tricked you into following me tonight to stop Zuo Wangfeng. It was my fault, but please understand me. I am There is really no other way, you are very strong, I can only rely on you!”
"Don't do this. The four-legged snake spirit beast you have is so strong. Are you afraid that you won't be able to deal with Zuo Wangfeng if you bring it here? I think you are just evil-minded and want to drag me down." Nine Fingers The old beggar cursed angrily with a livid face.
"Then you have to understand it like this. I have no choice at all. Anyway, the awesomeness has been blown out now. If you don't help me, when the royal family finds out about this later, we can just wait to be beheaded together." Gu Chan spread her hands and said.
After saying that, she just looked like she was in a bad mood and lay on the table without saying a word.
The nine-fingered old beggar was either angry or not angry after being tortured by her. For a while, there was really nothing he could do against her.
In the end, he could only suppress his anger and sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, you stinky brat, you can be as rogue as you are, and I'm convinced. There's nothing I can do now. I can only press on you." Let’s keep going.”
"Haha... Then I would like to thank the old gang leader for his help." Gu Chan said with a smile. The nine-fingered old beggar rolled his eyes at her, then turned to look at the cabin and shouted, "Old academician, bring the girls out, let's continue drinking!"
"Okay, we'll come out right away." The old academician responded respectfully and immediately led the girls out.
But after everyone came out and sat down again, because they all believed what Gu Chan just said was true, the relaxed atmosphere was no longer there.
Gu Chan said quickly, "Old academician, girls, don't be so reserved! Now only the people on our ship know that the old gang leader is the son of the Supreme Emperor who is living abroad, so you must keep this secret and not leak it to the outside world. Get out, otherwise you may be beheaded!”
"Don't worry, Lord, we will keep it secret and never leak this matter to the outside world." The old academician said with his face turning pale with fright.
"Then everyone, relax and keep the old gang leader company as before. Don't make him unhappy. I'm afraid you won't be able to get off this flower boat tonight." Gu Chan deliberately threatened.
The old academician and the girls quickly returned to their previous appearance, and drank wine with the nine-fingered old beggar with great enthusiasm.
The gloomy expression of the nine-fingered old beggar softened a lot.
Seeing this, Gu Chan didn't say any more and immediately ordered Di Lin to punt back to Chang's Wharf.
Yuan Jie walked up to her and whispered, "Master, I really didn't expect that the old gang leader is so powerful that even someone like Zuo Wangfeng is so afraid of him!"
"Hmph! This old guy is a real thief. Anyway, I saw it tonight. He is definitely not just an old beggar. After you return to Jiangnan City, you can secretly check his background for me tomorrow." Gu Chan He said it in a voice that only two people could hear.
"Yes, Master." Yuan Jie responded quietly.
After that, the two of them became quiet and sat down at the table to drink.
After midnight, the flower boat returned to Changshi Pier and stopped.
As soon as the boat docked, the old academician and the seven girls hurriedly said goodbye and left, not daring to stay any longer.
The nine-fingered old beggar said helplessly, "Look! I am obviously just a beggar. You are bragging nonsense. After giving me this identity, you scared them like this. If this news leaks out in the future, what will I do?" Think of me as a beggar?”
"It's really weird. Who in the world likes to be a beggar? Can't you make some progress?" Gu Chan joked.
"I'm very old, and I'm almost going to die, and I can't even make a living! I just like being a beggar, it's so free." The nine-fingered old beggar said angrily.
"Okay, okay, what you said makes sense. Let's calm down and let's go back to Jigong Temple." Gu Chan coaxed like a child.
Then she quickly pulled the nine-fingered old beggar off the boat with a playful smile, and then the three of them rode the carriage back to Jigong Temple.
Di Lin did not go back with them, but rushed to the Dahuaxia to continue his business of selling medicine.
