Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 830 Showing Weakness
After dark, a table of delicious food was placed on the stone table in the yard.

Gu Chan and others sat down around the stone table, eating and chatting happily.

Fang Tianyi was tied to the pillar next to the stable, and she kept swallowing saliva. Seeing Gu Chan and the others eating so happily, she couldn't help it and shouted, "Don't just focus on eating! You have to let me eat something! I haven't eaten for a whole day."

"Write a letter to your father and ask him to open the granary to release grain to help the victims, and I will let you eat." Zuo Gongming said coldly.

"I don't have that ability. My father will never listen to me." Fang Tianyi said with a bitter face.

Zuo Gongming ignored her and continued to eat the delicious food in the bowl.

Fang Tianyi stomped her feet in anger and felt so aggrieved that she almost cried.

Gu Chan whispered in Zuo Gongming's ear, "Brother Zuo, in my opinion, your plan may not work."

"Why do you think so?" Zuo Gongming asked.

"The purpose of your arresting Fang Tianyi is to force the city lord to open the granaries and release grain, so the city lord must be sure that you dare not touch a hair of his daughter. In this way, he can ignore your request and directly send troops to attack your stronghold." Gu Chan reminded.

Zuo Gongming suddenly lost his mood to eat and silently put the bowl and chopsticks on the table.

With a long sigh of helplessness, he said in a deep voice, "Sister, you are right. We really don't have the confidence to touch Fang Tianyi. We only captured her to threaten the city lord."

"So! If you want him to open the granary and release the grain, you have to think of another way." Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

"Then I wonder if you have any good ideas?" Zuo Gongming asked.

Gu Chan stopped what she was doing, lowered her head and began to think carefully.

After thinking for a while, she suddenly had an idea and said, "Xuan Xiao, go untie Miss Fang's rope and help her come over to sit down and eat."

"Yes, Miss." Xuan Xiao responded respectfully.

Then he stood up and ran over quickly to untie the rope that tied Fang Tianyi, then helped her to sit next to Gu Chan and let her eat.

Fang Tianyi was indeed hungry. He picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating with big mouthfuls, just like a starving ghost reincarnated.

Zuo Gongming and his men stared at her with disgust. If it weren't for Gu Chan's sake, they would never give her this meal.

Gu Chan stared at Fang Tianyi and said, "Miss Fang, when you have eaten and drunk enough, I will ask Brother Zuo to send you a horse, and you can ride the horse to Linzhou City overnight."

"Ah?" Fang Tianyi paused and stared at Gu Chan with his mouth wide open in shock.

Zuo Gongming and others also stared at Gu Chan, dumbfounded.

They had gone to so much trouble to capture Fang Tianyi when she was out hunting, and now they were about to release her after taking her back to the foot of the mountain village.

This... is simply incomprehensible to them!
Fang Tianyi was surprised for a moment, and even she couldn't understand it and said, "Are you kidding me? Aren't they going to use me to threaten my father to open the warehouse and release grain to help the victims?"

"Haven't you already said that your father wouldn't do this for you? Then what's the point of keeping you? Letting you eat and drink for free here and wasting precious food?" Gu Chan said with her hands spread out, pretending to be indifferent.

Fang Tianyi was so angry that she threw the dishes on the table and shouted coldly, "Silly girl, do you look down on me so much?" "It's not that I look down on you, I just simply think it's useless to catch you. How about this! You eat quickly, and when you're full I will personally take you back to Linzhou City." Gu Chan said with a smirk.

Fang Tianyi was skeptical, but since she had a chance to escape from the tiger's mouth, she certainly wouldn't waste any more words.

Suppressing her anger, she picked up the bowl and chopsticks again and continued to eat with big mouthfuls.

Zuo Gongming immediately stared at Gu Chan and said, "Sister, you..."

"Don't worry, Brother Zuo, I will give you a satisfactory explanation. Leave this matter to me." Gu Chan interrupted.

Zuo Gongming was speechless and could only choose to trust Gu Chan temporarily.

After all, he really couldn't beat Gu Chan! In this case, if they didn't follow Gu Chan's wishes and she wanted to take Fang Tianyi away, they would have no way to stop them, so they might as well trust her.

After an incense stick of time, Fang Tianyi finally had enough to eat and drink.

Gu Chan didn't waste any words. She immediately went to the stable and brought a horse over. She said to Fang Tianyi, "Miss Fang, please get on the horse! You and I will ride on the same horse."

"Little girl, don't regret it! Once you send me back, it will be impossible for you to catch me again, and my father will not be able to open the granary to release grain." Fang Tianyi said proudly.

"There's no other way! How can Brother Zuo and his bandit group of hundreds of people defeat so many officers and soldiers and physical masters under your father? Now the only way they can have a chance to survive is to let you go. And if I send you back, you have to help me say a few good words in front of your father, so as not to implicate me." Gu Chan said deliberately showing weakness.

"Hmph! You're smart. Now I like you much more. You're still smarter than these stupid bandits." Fang Tianyi said happily.

At this moment, she really thought that Gu Chan was afraid of her father.

With this thought in mind, Fang Tianyi immediately jumped onto his horse with a smug look on his face.

Gu Chan gave Zuo Gongming and the others a sly smile, then jumped onto the horse's back. She rode on the same horse with Fang Tianyi, left Gaobang Village overnight, and headed towards Linzhou City.

After the two of them left, Zuo Gongming stared at Xuan Xiao and said, "What on earth does your young lady mean by this? Is she really planning to send Fang Tianyi back to Lincheng Prefecture?"

"Brother Zuo, don't worry. My young lady is full of bad intentions. I used to disobey her, but after being beaten by her a few times, I am completely convinced by her. So don't worry. Just go to sleep and wait for her to come back." Xuan Xiao said with a wry smile.

Zuo Gongming and several of his younger brothers looked at each other, all with confusion on their faces, not knowing what to say at all.

Xuan Xiao said no more and led the three drivers to find a house to sleep in.

In the end, Zuo Gongming didn't think about it any more. He could only suppress his doubts temporarily and go back to his room to rest with a few brothers.

At dawn the next day.

While Zuo Gongming and others were still sleeping soundly at home, Gu Chan had already ridden a fast horse and escorted Fang Tianyi to the tall east gate of Linzhou City.

The soldiers guarding the city were so shocked to see Fang Tianyi return safely that they opened their mouths wide and hurried to inform the city guard.

After a while, the city guard personally led his men to open the city gate to welcome them, and also sent a subordinate to the city lord's mansion to report.

Gu Chan was not afraid at all. She rode her horse and took Fang Tianyi into Linzhou City. Under the escort of the city guard officer and soldiers, they headed towards the city lord's mansion.
