Chapter 270: Shang Fang's Sword
After dark, Gu Chan and his party returned to the room on the second floor of Fulai Inn.
The chimps can only sleep in the carriage and cannot enter the inn.
During these seven days, Ding Sheng was so worried that he couldn't sleep in his room all day long, and most of the hair on his head turned white.
Seeing that Gu Chan was back safely, he jumped up excitedly, ran to Gu Chan, grabbed her hand and shouted, "Shopkeeper Gu, you are back, I miss you so much."
"Get out! It's really disgusting." Gu Chan pulled her hand back and cursed angrily.
Ding Sheng didn't care about her so much. He was so happy that he kept jumping around the room.
Gu Chan didn't want to pay attention to him and said to Lao Bai, "Why don't you go to bed and lie down and rest? You haven't slept for several days. What will you do if your old bones are broken?"
"That's right. Let's have a good sleep before we talk. I can't solve this problem anyway. I'll keep my spirits up and learn from you slowly." Lao Bai sighed helplessly.
After saying that, he could only temporarily put down the topic in his hand, walked to the bed, lay down and fell asleep.
Ding Sheng was overly excited now and finally calmed down. He walked up to Gu Chan and asked softly, "Shopkeeper Gu, who is this old man?"
"This is an expert. You'd better not offend him, otherwise he will kill you with a wave of his hand." Gu Chan deliberately threatened.
Ding Sheng nodded repeatedly in fear.
Gu Chan turned to Renyin and said, "Go down and ask the waiter to prepare a table of good wine and food for me. I want to celebrate tonight."
"What, let me go?" Renyin said coldly.
"Don't want to? Then go back! Don't follow me. You have to figure out what your status is now and whether you dare to scream in front of me." Gu Chan puffed up his chest and folded his arms in front of his chest to reprimand.
Renyin stared at her and wanted to get angry, but he didn't dare to get angry. The aggrieved look on his face was really funny.
However, he had to admit that Gu Chan was right. Now Gu Chan was the commander of Renzong's tenth team, and he was just a secret agent in the ninth team, so his status was naturally not as high as Gu Chan's.
The female sect master sent him to keep an eye on Gu Chan again, but he could only serve as a subordinate. How dare he put on airs in front of Gu Chan like before!
With no choice but to do so, Renyin could only suppress his anger and say, "Yes, Commander."
After saying that, he turned and left with a sullen face.
Ding Sheng looked dumbfounded and said with a look of surprise, "Shopkeeper Gu, this is the master of Tianji Pavilion! Why do I still have to listen to you?"
"Hehe! I have passed the trial of Tianji Pavilion Renzong, and now I am the commander of the tenth team of Renzong. He is just a secret agent of the ninth team. How can his status be compared with mine." Gu Chan said proudly.
"Awesome, I am completely convinced by you, so I can be saved this time. The Emperor will not kill me again, right?" Ding Sheng asked.
Gu Chan said seriously, "Don't worry, Renzong Sect Master has promised me to go to the emperor to intercede for you, but the premise is that the two of us will return to Zhongyuan City to find a way to help the emperor regain the border."
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, right? The Central Plains camp has sent a large army to fight towards the border. If they can't defeat the Earth-Moon Army, can you and I alone do it?" Ding Sheng asked worriedly. "Take it one step at a time. This result right now is the best result for you and me. And think about it, if we can really find a way in the future or help the soldiers of the Central Plains camp to retake the border, we It can be considered a meritorious service. It is not impossible for you to return to the border and continue to be the magistrate of Wuheng County." Gu Chan said calmly.
Ding Sheng fell silent and thought secretly.
Now this result may be a test for him. Just like Gu Chan said, if he can help her retake the border, he will really have a chance to go back and be the county magistrate.
Thinking of this, he immediately said with firm eyes, "Okay, then I'll listen to you. I will do whatever you ask me to do from now on."
"Then let's make a deal first! From now on, you and I are just grasshoppers tied on a rope. You can't cheat me like you did before." Gu Chan pointed at Ding Sheng and reminded.
"Don't worry, we had enmity before! Now that you are my benefactor, of course I will help you wholeheartedly. Besides, this is also to help myself! There is no way I can't figure this out." Ding Sheng patted his chest and assured.
Gu Chan nodded with satisfaction, feeling finally at peace.
Then the two of them stopped talking and left the room together and went downstairs to eat and celebrate.
After they finished dinner, the eunuch sent by the emperor to deliver the order also arrived.
Gu Chan and the others knelt on the ground to receive the order. The eunuch recited the imperial edict and handed it to Gu Chan, and then left with the others.
The content of this imperial edict is undoubtedly that the emperor temporarily pardoned Fatty Ding's death penalty and ordered him to assist Gu Chan in retaking the border. As for how the two of them want to retake the border, it is up to them.
And in order to facilitate Gu Chan's actions, the emperor also gave her a golden Shang Fang sword, which made her extremely happy.
No, after returning to the room upstairs, Gu Chan sat at the table, touching the golden Shang Fang sword in her hand, and couldn't help but smile with joy.
Ding Sheng sat next to her and said with a happy look on his face, "Now that we have this Shang Fang Sword, we will go back to Zhongyuan City to see who dares to bully us."
"No, this thing must be hidden. People in Zhongyuan City cannot know about it. Also, when I enter Tianji Pavilion to be the commander of the tenth team, you must keep it a secret and not leak it to the outside world. This will make it easier for us to do things. Otherwise, it will easily lead to death for us," Gu Chan reminded in time.
Ding Sheng nodded in agreement.
He had been in the officialdom, so he understood the meaning of Gu Chan's words. When it was time to hide his edge, he had to hide his edge to avoid unnecessary trouble for himself.
Gu Chan calmed down and said no more. She immediately went to find a piece of cloth, tied Shang Fang's sword tightly and carried it behind her back. In this way, to outsiders, it looked like she was carrying a fire stick. It's easy to make people suspicious.
Ding Sheng looked surprised and said, "This is Shang Fang's sword! Are you just going to wrap it up and carry it on your back like this?"
"That's not it! Why don't you buy a good brocade box and put it in it, for fear that people won't know it is a treasure? Haven't you heard that the more dangerous a place is, the safer it is? I'm carrying it like this, Others will only think that I am just carrying a fire stick, and you have to really pretend that others will care about you!" Gu Chan said angrily.
"That's true. You're a bit unexpected. No one else would have thought that you could carry such a treasure on your back." Ding Sheng agreed.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Renyin walked in quickly with a cold face.
