Chapter 622 A fool doesn’t want to run away!
At night, in the study room of the City Lord's Mansion.
Gu Chan and Ye Tianyang sat opposite each other, chatting and laughing with each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Ye Tianyang said angrily, "You guys are so realistic! Before I sent the silver coins to you in Jiangnan City, you and I were scheming every day. Now that the silver coins have been sent to you, you are just talking and laughing."
"What if that's not the case? Do I still have to lick you like a licking dog?" Gu Chan said disdainfully.
Ye Tianyang curled his lips speechlessly, there was really nothing he could do against Gu Chan.
Not wanting to dwell on this topic any further, he instead said, "By the way, we have to deal with my royal family member. I have already found out his identity, but I just don't know where he is hiding now."
"Who?" Gu Chan asked.
"King Fan of Yexing Kingdom in Kyoto, he is the seventh younger brother of the current emperor, and he has a very good personal relationship with the fourth prince." Ye Tianyang said.
Gu Chan nodded quietly after hearing this.
There is no doubt that this is a power struggle between royal families.
The Ye family on the border of Yexing Kingdom has always supported the current crown prince, but the current fourth prince supported by King Fan. If they want the fourth prince to succeed to the throne, the first thing they have to do is to weaken the strength behind the prince.
Therefore, it is reasonable that King Fan would be the first to attack Yejia now.
It's just that King Fan is not an ordinary person. Otherwise, with Ye Tianyang's ability to control the border, it would be impossible not to find out where he is hiding on the border.
Wanting to understand this, Gu Chan rolled his eyes and said slyly, "Then, you continue to investigate. When you find out where he is hiding, you can tell me how to deal with him. Just tell me. , I am willing to help you!”
"Then I'd like to thank you first." Ye Tianyang said with clasped fists in salute.
"You're welcome. Two billion taels of silver have been given to me. What else can I say?" Gu Chan returned the favor with a smile on her face and cupped her fists.
After finishing her polite remarks, she immediately stood up and left.
As soon as she left, Ye Tianyang called the old housekeeper and said, "Hurry up and send a team of stronger guards to guard the yard where Gu Chan and the others live, and keep an eye on this kid."
"Ah? City Lord, didn't you guys have such a good chat just now? Why are you still keeping an eye on him so closely?" The old housekeeper didn't explain.
"Hmph! This kid is very cunning. Don't look at his playful face, but you know what he is thinking. To be on the safe side, it's better to watch him a little tighter." Ye Tianyang said coldly.
"Yes, City Lord, I'll do it right away." The old housekeeper hurriedly agreed.
Then he followed Ye Tianyang's instructions and hurriedly summoned a team of powerful guards and ordered them to secretly guard the courtyard where Gu Chan and others lived.
Gu Chan's side.
After coming back, without saying a word, she immediately ordered Cheng Hao to call everyone to the small house where she lived, and then closed the door and locked it from the inside.
When Cheng Hao saw this, he couldn't help but wonder, "Master, what are you doing?"
"Nonsense, of course I'm calling everyone for a meeting." Gu Chan said with a bad smile.
Everyone sitting in the room looked at each other, looking at each other.
Gu Chan whispered, "Listen to me. Starting tonight, you will pack your things. Once we find the opportunity, we will run away at any time." "Ah? Master, haven't you already made an agreement with the Lord of Night City? , want to help him solve the problem? Why did he run away?" Cheng Hao said in surprise.
"Only a fool helps him solve the problem! The person who wants to kill him now is the younger brother of the Emperor of the Night Star Kingdom. This is a dispute between their royal families. Does it have anything to do with me, Gu Chan? Besides, I have already risked my life before. I've been very worthy of him by helping him find out the truth about his strange disease. I can feel at ease with the two billion taels of silver," Gu Chan said, spreading his hands.
Cheng Hao and others nodded noncommittally.
Gu Chan chuckled and said, "This Ye Tianyang is not a good person. Although he is both civil and military and very capable, he is too suspicious by nature. He will not completely trust anyone who cooperates with him. With this Cooperation is very tiring, and if you are not careful, you may risk your own life, so it is the best choice for us to run away quickly.”
"Do we have to wait until the silver is shipped to Jiangnan City?" Cheng Hao reminded.
"Of course, so what I said is not to run now, but to wait a few days until the money arrives in Jiangnan City." Gu Chan said shrewdly.
Everyone nodded in agreement, followed Gu Chan's instructions, pretended to get up and left as if nothing had happened, returned to their rooms and quietly packed their luggage.
Gu Chan lay on the bed and secretly thought about how to escape.
And time passed quickly, and seven days passed quietly in the blink of an eye.
At dusk that afternoon, a homing pigeon flew in from the back window of Gu Chan's apartment.
Gu Chan quickly went to catch the homing pigeon, took off the letter tied to its leg, opened it and read it.
Seeing this, she smiled from ear to ear.
This letter was sent by Wei Xing. As early as yesterday afternoon, twenty large merchant ships sent by Ye Tianyang to deliver the silver had arrived safely at Chang's Wharf in Jiangnan City.
Now two billion taels of silver and two shiploads of grain have been deposited in the treasury of the lord's palace, and officials from all over the south of the Yangtze River have begun to line up to receive money for disaster relief.
"Damn! I'm almost impatient after waiting, but now it's better. With this money, at least some of the people can be saved first. As for the food that is still lacking, I can only go back and think of a solution first."
After reading Xinhan, Gu Chan said to herself.
After saying that, she immediately burned the letter, took a pen and paper, and wrote a secret letter, asking Wei Xing to find a way to deal with Zhenhe Si Tian Qianqiu. Then she tied the secret letter back to the carrier pigeon's leg length, and then Release the homing pigeon quickly.
After doing this, Gu Chan pretended to be nonchalant and went out, and went directly to the dungeon under the back garden of the city lord's mansion, wanting to see the ghost bat beast.
But what she didn't know was that not long after she released the pigeon, the pigeon was intercepted by a powerful guard lurking in the city lord's palace and delivered to Ye Tianyang.
At this time, Ye Tianyang was sitting behind the desk in the study, looking at the letter Han taken off the pigeon's lap and sneering.
The guard asked, "City Lord, are these carrier pigeons still flying?"
"Of course I have to let it go. Not only do I let it go, but I also have to tie this secret message back so that Gu Chan doesn't know about it." Ye Tianyang said with a sneer.
"City Lord, what happened in the Jiangnan area of Tiancang Kingdom? Why did he even want to kill Zhenhe Division?" the guard asked in confusion.
"There is a traitor in your own territory, and you want to trap him to death. If you don't kill him, what's the use of keeping him?" Ye Tianyang said in a deep voice.
The guard nodded in relief.
Ye Tianyang tied the secret message back to the carrier pigeon's leg, and then handed the carrier pigeon to the guard.
The guard followed his instructions and walked to the study window to release the carrier pigeon. After that, he resigned and left, continuing to secretly stare at Gu Chan.
