Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 979 Finale

Time passed quickly, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the hundreds of thousands of Dragon Guard troops that had been besieging the Jiangnan area finally returned to the main road leading to Kyoto.

In this way, the crisis in the Jiangnan area was resolved. Wei Xing and Nan Xing Kuang could not only breathe a sigh of relief, but also use this time to strengthen the defense in the Jiangnan area.

According to Xuanyuan Long's idea, after half a month of marching, Gu Chan and Xuanyuan Qing should have led their troops and encountered his hundreds of thousands of dragon-guarding troops.

Once the two sides meet, it will definitely be a fierce battle, and this is also the best time to completely defeat Gu Chan and the other two.

But his idea was too simple.

When hundreds of thousands of Dragon Guard soldiers arrived at the main road into Beijing, they could not see any trace of the Zhongyuan City army. Even the spies they sent out to explore for hundreds of miles did not encounter any enemy soldiers except a group of scarecrows on horses.

This confused everyone in the Dragon Guard Army.

On the other side, in a forest outside the boundaries of Zhongyuan City.

At this time, Gu Chan and Xuanyuan Qing were leading the soldiers to hide here.

It was noon, and the weather was hot. Ma Zheng was sitting under a big tree. Looking at Bai Jingtian who was sitting next to him, he said with an unhappy face, "If I had known this would happen, I would not have come. I thought even if it was a feint attack, it would at least last one or two rounds! I didn't expect that after leaving the territory of Zhongyuan City, I hid in this forest for half a month. It was so uncomfortable."

"You kid should be content! War means bloodshed and death. Do you really want the brothers in the Tiger Camp to die on the battlefield?" Bai Jingtian said unhappily.

"We can't keep hiding like this!" Ma Zheng complained.

Bai Jingtian was about to comfort them when Gu Chan came over and said, "Don't sit there anymore, get up and organize the soldiers to leave the woods. Now we can return to Zhongyuan City in a grand manner."

"Why, have the Dragon Guards that were besieging the Jiangnan area withdrawn?" Bai Jingtian asked.

"Yes, a spy just reported that hundreds of thousands of Dragon Guard troops are guarding the main roads leading to Beijing, waiting to deal with us! If we don't run now, we will be in trouble when they catch up with us." Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

Bai Jingtian laughed and shook his head helplessly. He could only get up and organize the soldiers to leave the woods as Gu Chan instructed.

Ma Zheng still sat under the big tree unhappy.

Gu Chan soothed him, "I know you want to make military achievements, but now is not the time. We are short of money and food, so we can't fight them head-on. We have to wait until the entire Central Plains is completely stabilized."

"How long do we have to wait?" Ma Zheng said angrily.

"Once money and food are sent from Jiangnan, it will be a great opportunity for you to achieve great things," Gu Chan explained.

After hearing what she said, Ma Zheng finally calmed down and got up to leave.

Gu Chan looked at his back and shook her head helplessly. Then she mounted her warhorse and followed the team out of the woods with Xuanyuan Qing.

Xuanyuan Qing smiled faintly and said, "Don't blame Ma Zheng. He is young and full of energy. He also wants to prove his ability to everyone. In particular, he wants to use his military exploits to comfort the spirit of Prince Chan in heaven, so he was a little impatient."

"I understand. It's just that he has a bad temper right now. He still needs to be disciplined, otherwise he will make mistakes due to his youthful impetuosity, which would be bad." Gu Chan said with a smirk.

Xuanyuan Qing smiled without saying anything, thinking that when he returned to Zhongyuan City, this kid Ma Zheng would probably be in trouble.

But on second thought, he felt that letting Gu Chan teach him a lesson might not be a bad thing.

Three days later at dusk, Gu Chan and Xuanyuan Qing led 200,000 soldiers and returned safely to Zhongyuan City. They began to strengthen the city walls and enhance the defense.

It was not until this time that the soldiers of the Dragon Guard who were blocking the main road into Beijing realized that they had been deceived.

It turned out that Gu Chan and Xuanyuan Qing had never thought about actually attacking Kyoto. This time they sent troops just as a feint to force the Dragon Guard Army to withdraw from the Jiangnan area.

After figuring this out, the commander of the Dragon Guard Army quickly sent someone to the capital to report.

When Xuanyuan Long and Yan Li heard the news, they were so angry that they started cursing on the spot, wishing they could tear Gu Chan and Xuanyuan Qing into pieces.

But now they don't care about attacking Zhongyuan City rashly. After all, Gu Chan and Xuanyuan Qing are deeply loved by the people, and the defenses in Zhongyuan are so tight that if they really attack, it will take a while to take it down.

However, it would take at least half a month to turn back and attack the Jiangnan area again. Not to mention the waste of food and grass, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Dragon Guard would probably be exhausted after such a back and forth journey. In addition, Wei Xing and Nan Xing Kuang would definitely use this time to strengthen their defenses, so it would be disadvantageous for them to attack back.

In desperation, Xuanyuan Long had to order the Dragon Guards to temporarily block the main roads into the capital to protect the capital.

What should have been a fierce civil war was finally calmed down temporarily due to Gu Chan's operation, which also bought them and Wei Xing and others a little breathing time.

Seven days later, in Zhongyuan City.

That night the whole city was decorated with lights and was bustling with activity.

The City Lord's Mansion was decorated with red and colorful decorations, and there were loud gongs and drums, creating an atmosphere of great joy.

The crowd surrounded Gu Chan and Xuanyuan Qing, who were dressed in bright red wedding dresses, and came to the lobby in the front yard. Under the auspices of the master of ceremonies, the two worshipped heaven and earth and officially became husband and wife.

In the bridal chamber in the backyard.

Gu Chan sat on the edge of the bed, wearing a red veil, feeling very unhappy.

Xuanyuan Qing lifted her veil with a weighing rod and said, "Today is a happy day for both of us, can't you just smile?"

"What a joke! I treat you as my friend, and you actually want to sleep with me? Hurry up and ask old man Bai to remove the body control technique he cast on me, otherwise I will kill you." Gu Chan said angrily.

Xuanyuan Qing walked over to sit beside her, stretched out his hand to hold her small hand and said with a sly smile, "We will soon establish a capital and establish a country in Zhongyuan City. Everyone is right. If I want to be the emperor, how can I be without a queen? Just treat it as a show and play the role of my queen."

"Then why are you holding my hand so tightly? Why don't you let go?" Gu Chan said unhappily.

Xuanyuan Qing chuckled, and instead of letting go of her hand, he threw her directly onto the bed.

Gu Chan was furious and cursed, "Xuanyuan Qing, you bastard, how dare you molest me? I've chosen you, and you..."

Before Gu Chan could finish her words, Xuanyuan Qing suddenly lowered his head and blocked Gu Chan's cherry red lips with his mouth.

"Well……"

Gu Chan's eyes widened in shock and she couldn't help but let out a sound.

She felt as if she was suddenly struck by an electric current. Her whole body instantly became limp, causing her to slowly close her eyes involuntarily.

Xuanyuan Qing silently reached out and pulled down the bed curtain.

The red candles on the table slowly went out.

As the saying goes, lovers will eventually marry, perhaps on this wedding night.

For Gu Chan, who has been wandering, this should be the best ending!
