Chapter 281 This move is really powerful Just when Gu Chan was speechless, Zhou Dachuan came over with a bowl of refreshing soup and handed it to her. Gu Chan was too lazy to pay attention to Tian Ying and the other two, and she took the refreshing soup and drank it. Tian Ying and the other two laughed for a while before stopping. Tian Bao immediately said, "Manager Gu, just tell us the truth. It will be a favor to us. Think about it, we didn't treat you badly before, did we? You can't just stand by and watch us die!" "That's right, we have never offended you, and we have always taken good care of your sister Xue Lihua!" Tian He also said. Gu Chan finished drinking the refreshing soup and handed the empty bowl to Zhou Dachuan. While wiping his mouth, he said, "Don't worry. General Tian is the general who protects the country. As his sons, you three may be a bit stupid, but the emperor will definitely not kill you for his sake." "We know this. After the emperor sends the new general to take office, the first thing he will do is to punish us. This is what we are concerned about." Tian Ying said with a bitter face. "Even if I punish you, it's to let you make up for your mistakes. I won't send you back to Kyoto! Now is the time when we need people. If you leave, who in the entire Central Plains camp can lead the troops to fight? Don't you think so?" Gu Chan rolled his eyes and said cunningly. Tian Ying and the other two were stunned when they heard this. The hearts that had been hanging in their chests finally calmed down temporarily at this moment. Gu Chan smiled and said, "You should go back and stay here! Before the new general takes office, manage the Central Plains Camp well and make the corresponding deployment. When he comes, he will see that you are so serious and will definitely not punish you severely."
"Did the Imperial Envoy intentionally ask you to tell us?" Tian Ying came back to his senses and asked smartly. "It's fine if you insist on understanding it that way." Gu Chan said in a serious tone. Tian Ying and the other two breathed a long sigh of relief, and then they all collapsed in their chairs like deflated balls, their whole bodies completely relaxed. Gu Chan was stunned. It was not until then that she realized that these three people had been on edge these days, fearing that the new general would severely punish them, otherwise they would not have seemed so anxious. Tian Ying sighed and said, "Manager Gu, with your words, the three of us brothers can finally feel relieved for the time being." "Don't worry! Based on our friendship, I will definitely speak well of you." Gu Chan said, patting his chest. "Then I'd like to thank you, Manager Gu." Tian Ying quickly sat up straight and clasped his fists to express his gratitude. Gu Chan waved her hand indifferently. Anyway, what she just said was pure nonsense. As for whether the new general sent by the emperor would severely punish them, she had no idea. Now she just wants these three people to stop bothering her. However, Tian Ying and the other two were unaware of this situation and thought that what Gu Chan said was the intention of the imperial envoy. After thanking Gu Chan, Tian Ying hurriedly asked, "By the way, Manager Gu, I have a guess and I hope you can give us some clues." "Manager Gu, you don't need to say it clearly. We also know that you must have received orders and cannot speak nonsense. We won't make things difficult for you." Tian Bao said with a wry smile. "Yes, yes, yes, you just need to give a little hint." Tian He also hurriedly agreed. Gu Chan squinted her eyes and glanced at the three of them, suddenly finding it funny and said, "Okay! You tell me, I'll see if I can give you some clues." "Our guess is that the imperial envoy sent by the emperor to Zhongyuan City and the new general are the same person." Tian Ying said in a low voice. "I'm not really sure about this, but when the imperial envoy sent someone to deliver the Imperial Sword to me, the scabbard had a very fragrant smell, as if it was the smell of some fine marriage powder." Gu Chan said, scratching his head deliberately. Tian Ying and the other two froze in an instant, all looking puzzled. Gu Chan smiled faintly and said, "Okay, three generals, I can only say this much. I dare not say anything else. Please go back! I have to go upstairs to accompany my future daughter-in-law to catch up on sleep."
After saying that, Gu Chan stood up and walked upstairs. Tian Ying and the other two sat there, all like fools, staring at her departing back in a daze. After a long while, the three of them came to their senses and got up to leave. After exiting the main entrance of the clinic, the three of them walked to the right where the horses were tied and stood there. Tian He said in a serious tone, "Brother, this rouge and powder is something women often use. The hint Gu Chan gave us just now, is she telling us that the imperial envoy sent by the emperor is a woman?" "That should be the case. There are many powerful women in Kyoto, and the princesses in the royal family are not easy to deal with. In my opinion, the imperial envoy sent by the emperor this time should be a princess." Tian Bao guessed smartly. "Let's go back to the Zhongyuan camp first and make arrangements according to what Gu Chan said. Since the imperial envoy and the new general are not the same person, we have to take care of one first." Tian Ying made the decision on the spot. Then the three brothers said nothing more, immediately jumped onto their horses and quickly returned to the Central Plains camp to make arrangements. In the room on the fourth floor. At this time, Gu Chan was standing by the window, laughing secretly as she watched the three people riding away on fast horses below. Ouyang Wan'er, who was lying on the bed at the back, looked at Gu Chan's back and said, "Husband, what did you say to them to make them leave so obediently without bothering you?" "I made them think that the imperial envoy and the new general are two different people." Gu Chan said without turning his head. "Then my husband, are they really two people?" Ouyang Wan'er asked. Gu Chan turned around and walked back to her side and lay down, grinning and said, "There is no such thing as an imperial envoy. This imperial sword was given to me directly by the emperor. The imperial edict only said to give it to me, and did not say that I should be an imperial envoy. I just made up this identity to save you and divert other people's attention." "Wow! My husband, you are so smart! This trick of yours is really powerful. Now everyone thinks that the imperial envoy is hiding in the dark and will not target you at all. At the same time, everyone will be afraid of the imperial envoy hiding in the dark and dare not snatch the imperial sword in your hand. This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone!" Ouyang Wan'er said with admiration. As long as this matter is not leaked out, everyone will always think that the imperial envoy has been hiding in the dark, not daring to touch Gu Chan, let alone coveting the imperial sword in her hand. Ouyang Wan'er had to admit that Gu Chan's trick was indeed powerful! "Okay, let's stop chatting and go to bed!" Gu Chan said with a smile. Ouyang Wan'er nodded obediently. After that, the two of them didn't say anything more, but just calmed down and continued to catch up on their sleep. (End of this chapter)
