Chapter 849 I Just Don't Like You
Gu Chan glared at the young man and said while suppressing her anger.

"If I didn't have to go in and do something, I would have beaten you up."

"Hey! Little brother, what you said is not right! I didn't provoke you or offend you, but you still want to beat me?" The young man said angrily.

Gu Chan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so she waved her hand and said, "Alright, stop talking nonsense, take me in quickly, and I'll give you five taels of silver."

"Oh! That won't do. The price has gone up now. It needs ten taels of silver. It's up to you whether you want to go in or not. I don't care anyway. At worst, I won't do this business." The young man crossed his arms over his chest and said with a mean look on his face.

"Oh! You are so arrogant! You are asking for a higher price, right?" Gu Chan said angrily.

"What do you mean by raising the price? I was helping you out of kindness, and not only did you treat me badly, you even wanted to beat me up. You were wrong in the first place! I just want to make a living, I don't steal or rob, how have I offended you?" the young man shouted.

Gu Chan patted her forehead with her hand, truly speechless.

Thinking that she still had to go to Kyoto to meet Long Zhen, she didn't want to get entangled with this boy anymore. She reached into her sleeve and took out ten taels of silver and stuffed it into his hand. "Let's go! I'm too lazy to argue with you."

"Huh! You are so rich. You won't let me take it even if it's cheap. You have to buy it at a more expensive price before you are satisfied." The young man laughed meanly.

Gu Chan was so angry that her face turned stern, but she swallowed her anger for the time being.

The young man put away the silver and said with a smile, "Follow me closely. Cooperate with me when the soldiers guarding the city question you. Also, my name is Er Gou. I live in Wuliu Lane west of Kyoto. I know the whole city very well. If you need help in the future, you can come to me."

"Hurry up and stop talking nonsense." Gu Chan urged.

Ergou grinned and took Gu Chan towards the checkpoint ahead.

Soon the two arrived at the checkpoint, and Ergou hurriedly took out his copper pass document for the soldiers guarding the city to check.

The officer looked at the document and asked, "Who is he?"

"This is a distant relative of mine. His customs documents were lost on the way, so I am bringing him into the city. Please be lenient with me, big brother." Ergou said with a grin.

As he said this, he quietly reached into his sleeve, took out three taels of silver and stuffed it into the soldier's sleeve.

The soldier pretended to know nothing, stared at Gu Chan and said, "Behave yourself when you enter the city, don't cause trouble, remember to go to the patrol office early tomorrow and get the documents ready, do you hear me?"

"Okay, sir, I understand. I will go early tomorrow to do it." Gu Chan nodded.

"Let's go, let's go! Don't block the people behind you." The soldier urged.

Gu Chan hurriedly followed Ergou into the city.

She saw all of Ergou's little moves just now, and then she realized that the group of scalpers outside the gate of Kyoto were cooperating with the soldiers guarding the city. They earned five taels of silver for bringing one person across the checkpoint, and they had to give three taels to the soldiers guarding the city, which means that they could earn two taels of silver for each trip.

If the soldiers defending the city are flexible and let one person pass, they can make a net profit of three taels of silver. In this way, they are the ones who make the most money, while scalpers like Ergou can only make a small profit.

After understanding this, Gu Chan suddenly felt that life was not easy for scalpers like Ergou who lived at the bottom of society sometimes, but they were not worthy of sympathy.

While Gu Chan was thinking about this, the two of them had already arrived behind the city gate.

Ergou stopped and said, "Little brother, I'll take you here. I have to go out and bring some people. Go do whatever you want to do!"

"Bang!" Gu Chan didn't even think about it, she raised her fist and punched Ergou in the stomach.

"Ouch!"

Ergou screamed and immediately knelt on the ground, covering his stomach with his hands, his face twisted in pain.

Gu Chan let out a long sigh, and the anger that had been pent up in her heart finally disappeared at this moment.

Ergou recovered from the pain, looked up at her and yelled, "Are you sick? Why did you hit me for no reason?"

"Hehe! I have nothing against you, I just don't like you." Gu Chan smiled and imitated Ergou's mean look just now.

"You..." Ergou was immediately speechless due to her anger.

Gu Chan said with a wicked smile, "I will remember you. I will stay in Kyoto for a while. If I need help, I will ask you for help and let you earn money."

"You little bastard, don't let me meet you again next time, otherwise I will beat you to a pulp." Ergou cursed angrily.

Gu Chan ignored him and turned around and walked away.

Ergou stood up, cursed, and went out of another checkpoint, continuing his scalper business outside the city.

More than an hour later.

After making inquiries from many sources, Gu Chan finally arrived at the Yuanyang Tower in the east of Kyoto.

This building is seven stories high and is very luxurious. The girls inside are all extraordinary. In a place like Kyoto, the capital of Diyue Nation, where every inch of land is valuable, a woman like Yuan Qingyi can own such a big building, located in the most prosperous east side of the entire capital. This is enough to show how capable she is.

"Oh, Sister Xue Lihua! Now I finally understand why General Long looked down on you. Both of his wives are amazing! Compared to them, you are really not inferior at all."

After standing at the door and watching for a while, Gu Chan couldn't help but utter these words with emotion.

Thinking back to when she was in the Border Tiger Camp, she still wanted to bring Long Zhen and Xue Lihua together, but judging from the current situation, she was indeed a bit reckless at the time.

No matter from which aspect, Xue Lihua is probably not as good as Feng Shishi and Yuan Qingyi. Of course, in terms of strength, Xue Lihua is probably stronger, but Long Zhen himself is strong, so the woman he needs does not need to be strong.

After expressing her feelings, Gu Chan stepped into the Yuanyang Tower.

When the madam saw her come in, she greeted her warmly.

Gu Chan waved her hand and said, "Arrange a good room for me. I want to stay here tonight."

"Sir, do you need a girl?" asked the madam.

"Isn't this nonsense? Call five girls to drink with me. I want to have a good time today." Gu Chan said, imitating the appearance of those rich young men.

The madam was so happy that she thought another rich and foolish man had come. She immediately and enthusiastically took Gu Chan to the third floor, arranged a good room for her, and then called five fair and tender girls to drink with her.

Gu Chan took out five hundred taels of silver and sent the madam away. Then she started drinking and chatting with the five girls.

For a moment, she really looked like an uneducated young man from a rich family, and no one could tell that there was anything wrong with her.
