Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 851 Ambition
Long Zhen patted his wife's shoulders gently and fell into deep thought.

When he was guarding the border for Tiancang Kingdom in the past, it was because the previous two monarchs of Tiancang Kingdom had done him favors, so he was willing to use his life to protect Tiancang Kingdom.

But now the prince is unkind, the ministers are unjust, and they are all shameless. So why should he still stick to the loyalty in his heart?
Moreover, when Xuanyuan Wu was in power, he once told him that if the prince was unkind, he could replace him. Prince Wen Xuanyuan Wen also said something similar to Gu Chan before his death.

This means that the late Emperor Xuanyuan Wu actually placed the future of Tiancang on Long Zhen, while King Wen Xuanyuan Wen placed the future of Tiancang on Gu Chan.

In a word, there was no need for him to be loyal to the prince.

Thinking of all this, Long Zhen sighed and said, "I originally wanted to look up to the bright moon, but the bright moon turned to the ditch. If the prince is unfair to the people in the future, I will get rid of him as soon as possible."

"Husband, what will you do if King Chan blocks you?" Yuan Qingyi asked.

"He and the prince are enemies. He will definitely stand on my side to resist the prince and will never go against me." Long Zhen said in a firm tone.

"What if he also wants to get rid of the prince and replace him?" Yuan Qingyi asked.

Long Zhen stared down at her and was suddenly speechless.

Yuan Qingyi sneered and said, "Based on the intelligence sent from Kyoto before, the current King Chan probably wants to support the Ninth Prince Xuanyuan Qing, but the Ninth Prince is too kind by nature. If she can't save the Ninth Prince this time, it will be difficult for her to replace the Ninth Prince in the hearts of the people of Tiancang in the future."

"Okay, don't think too much. Let's talk about the future later. Let's take care of the things in front of us first." Long Zhen said in a deep voice.

Seeing that her husband was a little angry, Yuan Qingyi tactfully calmed down and said no more.

Afterwards, the couple went into the inner room to rest together, temporarily putting their ambitions aside.

Early the next morning.

Gu Chan changed back into women's clothes, transformed herself into Gu Pan'er, led Xuan Xiao and three coachmen, and drove the carriage to the east gate of Kyoto early to queue up.

After a while, they passed the inspection smoothly and entered Kyoto City.

In order to facilitate the operation, Gu Chan led the convoy to a street on the east side and found an inn not too far from Yuanyang Tower to stay in.

After having breakfast in the inn, Gu Chan said to Xuan Xiao, "Take the three drivers out for a walk and look for places in Kyoto where you can set up stalls to sell herbs. Then you can drive the carriages over there, set up four stalls, and sell the herbs."

"Then Miss, how should we set the price?" Xuan Xiao asked.

"Do you need to ask me about such a small matter? Go and ask about the average price of various herbs in the Kyoto herb market, and then raise the price a little bit based on this price, and then package it by saying that our herbs are from the northern border and are of high quality, then isn't that enough?" Gu Chan taught.

Xuan Xiao nodded repeatedly after listening and secretly kept Gu Chan's method in mind.

Gu Chan patted his shoulder and said, "In the next period of time, you just lead the three drivers to sell the herbs. After the sales, I don't want any money except the cost. You four can divide it." "Thank you, miss." Xuan Xiao hurriedly thanked her.

"You're welcome. After all, you've followed me all the way here and have suffered a lot. I can't treat you unfairly!" Gu Chan said with a smile.

Xuan Xiao was so moved that his eyes welled up with tears and he almost cried. Only then did he understand that it was worth it to follow Gu Chan here!
Gu Chan laughed and said, "Okay, grown men, stop being so sentimental. It's disgusting."

"Miss, what are you going to do next?" Xuan Xiao said, wiping away his tears.

"I have to go find that relative of mine and deal with the follower that's following me! Otherwise there will be a lot of troubles waiting for me later." Gu Chan said with a sly smile.

Xuan Xiao grinned and immediately understood that the follower Gu Chan was talking about was Feng Hao.

Therefore, he did not ask any more questions, and immediately followed Gu Chan's instructions and led the three coachmen to stroll around the bustling city of Kyoto.

After dealing with this matter, Gu Chan went back to the guest room upstairs, changed back into men's clothes, sneaked out from the back window, and went straight to the Kyoto Patrol Office.

Last night, the soldiers guarding the city told her that she must go to the patrol office today to get an ordinary copper pass document. She has always remembered this. After all, once she changes back into men's clothes, she will have to move around in Kyoto as an ordinary person. Of course, she needs an ordinary copper pass document, otherwise it will be inconvenient for her to enter and leave the city.

With this thought in mind, Gu Chan arrived at the patrol office in the south of Kyoto in just over half an hour.

At this time, there was a long queue of people outside the patrol office. It was obvious that she was not the only one who did not have the copper pass document after entering the city. This way, she felt at ease, at least she would not be targeted by others just because of coming here to apply for the copper pass document.

So she just followed the crowd and lined up, moving slowly forward.

After a long time, it was finally Gu Chan's turn to apply for the copper pass document. The official sitting behind the long table asked without even looking up, "How many people do you want to apply for the pass documents for?"

"Sir, my four subordinates and I all need to do it," said Gu Chan.

"Then tell me your names. Each customs document costs ten taels of silver. For five documents, you only need to pay fifty taels of silver." The official said calmly.

Without saying a word, Gu Chan reached into her sleeve and took out fifty taels of silver to hand it over, then reported her name, Xuan Xiao's name, and the three coachmen's name. When reporting her name, in order to conceal her identity, she did not use the name Gu Chan, but casually changed it to "Xu Xian", the name of the male protagonist in "The Legend of White Snake".

The officer didn't ask any more questions! After collecting the money, he took out five copper documents from the basket beside him, wrote a name on each, and then handed them to Gu Chan.

After Gu Chan left with the five copper-ticket customs documents, she was confused and said, "Damn, it turns out that it is so easy for ordinary people to get copper-ticket customs documents in Kyoto? This is really speechless. I was worried last night whether something unexpected would happen!"

After saying that, Gu Chan stuffed the five copper documents of passing the customs into her arms, and went to find a teahouse calmly to sit down and have tea and rest.

The key point is that the weather in the capital of Diyue Kingdom is hot, far from being as cool as the capital of Tiancang Kingdom. She was queuing there just now, and she was sweating all over under the sun, so she had to take a rest first.

Teahouses like this can be found almost everywhere in Kyoto. Not only can you drink tea and try snacks here, you can also listen to books and music, which is indeed quite pleasant.
