Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 976: One Call, Hundred Responses

In the study room.

When Gu Chan came over, Old Man Bai was sitting at the table sipping fragrant tea.

Seeing Gu Chan coming, he waved and said, "Come and sit down!"

"Yes, Mr. Bai." Gu Chan said respectfully.

After saying that, she walked over and sat down opposite the old man.

The old man said calmly, "Now that you are back, and you have brought the Ninth Prince here safely, I wonder if you have any good plan to defeat the enemy?"

"Where is the lord of Zhongyuan City? Why can't I see him?" Gu Chan asked.

Logically speaking, now that the Dragon Guards are at the gates of the city, the Lord of Zhongyuan City should organize everyone to resist, but the one living in the Lord's Mansion is an old man.

And judging from the situation just now, before she came, it was probably Ouyang Wan'er and the other two who assisted Old Man Bai in managing the huge City Lord's Mansion.

The old man Bai said angrily, "What a bullshit city lord! Half a month ago, when the Dragon Guards were at the gates of the city, he took his family and all the money in the city lord's mansion and ran away. If it weren't for me, Wan'er and the other two moving in in time to take charge of the situation, I'm afraid Zhongyuan City would have been completely breached by now."

"Damn! This bastard! He runs really fast!" Gu Chan cursed angrily.

But even though he was cursing, she thought it was quite normal. After all, she had dealt with the former Lord of Zhongyuan City before and knew what kind of person he was.

So she was angry for a while, then immediately calmed down and said, "Don't worry about him. If he wants to run away, let him run away. Now that the Ninth Prince is here, it won't be a big problem."

"Okay, then I won't care about it anymore. I'll leave everything to you two. I'd better go back to the clinic and play chess with Zhang Wanshan." The old man said with a wry smile.

Gu Chan nodded.

The old man said nothing more, just got up and left.

When he reached the door of the study, he suddenly stopped and said without turning his head, "What a great way to escape! You have a lot of tricks, but luckily you didn't get away with it, otherwise you would have suffered the consequences."

"Hehe..." Gu Chan could only laugh dryly and didn't dare to answer.

Now she was sure that Old Man Bai had really seen through her true identity as a girl a long time ago, but he had never exposed her.

"Gu Chan... take care of yourself!" said the old man with a sigh.

After saying this, he immediately left the City Lord's Mansion and no longer cared about the current crisis in Zhongyuan City.

Gu Chan didn't have time to worry about so many things, so she quickly went to the front lobby and found Xuanyuan Qing to discuss it.

That night, Gu Chan and Xuanyuan Qing deliberately sent people to spread the news that they were coming to Zhongyuan City.

The next morning, the news that the youngest Prince Chan of Tiancang Kingdom and the ninth prince of Tiancang Kingdom, who was deeply loved by the people, had safely arrived in Zhongyuan City spread throughout the Central Plains.

It was just as they expected!

As the news spread, the morale of the Dragon Guard troops besieging Zhongyuan City began to fall into chaos.

In contrast to them, resistance forces in various parts of the Central Plains rose up in response to Gu Chan and Xuanyuan Qing, and rushed to Zhongyuan City without stopping to lend a helping hand.

Xuanyuan Qing seized this opportunity and sent someone to invite Ouyang Wan'er and the other two, as well as Guo Yu, to the City Lord's Mansion, asking them to help Gu Chan with a secret makeover.

After a night of tossing and turning, Gu Chan disguised herself as a man and became Prince Chan.

Three days later, when Gu Chan stood on the high city wall of Zhongyuan City, facing the first ray of sunlight at dawn.

All the Dragon Guard soldiers below the city were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.

It’s because this person is exactly the same as the former Prince Chan!

Now everyone felt that Xuanyuan Long’s previous announcement that Prince Chan had died in the capital of Diyue Kingdom was false.

Gu Chan stood on the top of the city wall and shouted, "Dear soldiers of the Dragon Guard, as you can see, I am standing in front of you alive now. If you can abandon the dark and join the light, and submit to me and the Ninth Prince obediently, then we will severely punish you for the evil deeds you have done before. Otherwise, I will lead the army with the Ninth Prince to destroy you all."

"Don't listen to him, this man must be a fake. Prince Chan has been dead for a long time, and the Ninth Prince is also dying and has long been missing. There is no way they can come here safely." The general of the Dragon Guard Army said while riding on a tall horse under the city.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Qing walked up to Gu Chan and stood beside him, sneering and saying, "Prince Chan is a fake, so is this prince also a fake?"

"This...how is this possible?" the general was dumbfounded.

He had clearly received news that the Ninth Prince was hanging on to his last breath in Kyoto and death was a matter of time. How was it possible that he appeared here alive only half a month later?

The soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army also began to talk among themselves and began to retreat in their hearts.

Gu Chan shouted, "Are you guys going to surrender or not?"

"Hmph! Come at me if you dare. I will surrender without a fight. That's impossible." The general came to his senses and shouted angrily.

"Well, since you won't cry until you see the coffin, don't blame me for being rude to you." Gu Chan said with a sneer.

After saying that, she raised her right hand and waved it downwards.

The four pure-blooded spirit beasts, the Jiaolong, the Mo Qilin, the big black bear and the big cat, immediately took off from Zhongyuan City, rushed into the enemy camp at lightning speed, and began to frantically reap the lives of the dragon-guarding soldiers under the city.

At the same time, the tall gates of Zhongyuan City opened, and tens of thousands of soldiers defending the city swarmed out like ants pouring out of their nest, charging into the chaotic enemy formation of the Dragon Guard Army.

The 100,000 Dragon Guard soldiers under the city were thrown into chaos in an instant, screams rang out one after another, and soon the outside of the city was a river of blood and corpses were everywhere.

Gu Chan stood on the top of the city wall, watching the scenes in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh, "It is true that one general's success is based on the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers! I'm afraid that all of these 100,000 Dragon Guard soldiers will really be buried here today."

"Don't worry, the real show has just begun." Xuanyuan Qing said coldly.

Gu Chan nodded quietly.

Half an hour later, just as the general of the Dragon Guard Army was organizing his soldiers to retreat.

There were bursts of deafening shouts and cries of killing all around Zhongyuan City. Soldiers from all over the country who had responded to the call of Gu Chan and the others and rose up in rebellion rushed in from all directions, not only blocking the retreat of the Dragon Guard Army, but also completely surrounding them.

The general was sitting on his horse and was completely desperate when he saw this scene. "Your Majesty, Prince Chan and the Ninth Prince are deeply loved by all the people in the Central Plains. Please forgive me for my inability to compete with them."

After saying this, the general held the bloody sword across his neck and swung it violently.

"Bah!"

There was a hissing sound, and a bloody cut was immediately made on his neck, and blood gushed out like a leaky water pipe.

Then he closed his eyes, fell off his horse, and died.

When the Dragon Guard soldiers who were still resisting stubbornly saw that the general had committed suicide, they stopped resisting, threw away their weapons, and knelt down in surrender to Gu Chan and the other man who were standing on the city wall.
