Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 874 Don’t judge people by their appearance

In the Duke's Mansion.

While Guo Pinchuan was still on his way to Prince Leng's mansion, Gu Chan had already arrived at the front yard with the guards.

At this time, ten guards in uniform black robes were standing on both sides of the front yard. In front of them was a throne. A middle-aged man in his early fifties was sitting on the chair with his legs crossed, holding a jar of wine in his hand and pouring it into his mouth continuously.

As Gu Chan walked forward, she looked up at the middle-aged man.

He was a strong man, over 1.80 meters tall, with a full beard and a long scar on his right cheek. Not only did he look fierce, but he also exuded a intimidating aura from head to toe.

And he was none other than Gao Tianba, the Duke of Diyue Kingdom.

The two men came in front of Gao Tianba, and the guard saluted respectfully and said, "Master, the person has been brought here. She is Gu Paner."

"Back off!" Gao Tianba waved his hand and said.

The guard responded and stood aside.

Gao Tianba glanced at Gu Chan and said frivolously, "Good girl, you look young but have a nice figure. It's a pity that I'm old, otherwise I would have to enjoy you."

"Your Excellency the Duke, what you said is damaging to your great reputation as the Duke of Zhenguo!" Gu Chan said coldly.

"Bah! Bullshit fame. Others praise me to my face, but behind my back they say I'm illiterate and a complete reckless man. I don't even know what my own reputation is." Gao Tianba said angrily.

Gu Chan was stunned when she heard this, and immediately felt like laughing!
She really didn't expect that this Duke of Zhenguo, who looked so ferocious on the surface, actually had such self-awareness.

Gao Tianba didn't want to waste time talking to Gu Chan anymore, so he said directly, "Alright, I don't want to waste time talking to you, little girl. Hurry up and write a letter to your brother. I'll have someone send it to your inn and ask him to come and rescue you."

"Your Excellency the Duke, my brother is not in Kyoto. After returning from the Guo Mansion last night, he left the city overnight to do some business." Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

"What? Why didn't you say it earlier? You're really wasting my time. Forget it, just go back! When your brother comes back, I'll send someone to invite you over." Gao Tianba said impatiently.

Gu Chan was suddenly in a state of confusion, feeling extremely angry and having no place to vent her anger.

On the way here, she thought that the Duke of Zhenguo was angry with her and wanted to punish her to vent his anger for his son. But judging from the current situation, it seems that she was overthinking!

Gao Tianba was far more interesting than she had imagined.

Thinking of this, Gu Chan also became relaxed and said with a smile, "My Lord, you want to find my brother, is it because of the incident when he beat your son?"

"Bullshit, I don't even bother to care about that little bastard Gao Lin. It's a good thing for him to get beaten up a little, so he won't get into trouble for me outside all day long." Gao Tianba said disdainfully.

"Then why did you capture me and threaten my brother to come here?" Gu Chan asked puzzledly.

Gao Tianba spread his hands and said, "I don't know why! This morning, the Queen suddenly sent someone to tell me to teach your brother a lesson, but she didn't tell me the reason. Now I'm very confused. Damn it, why did they ask me to beat up a kid when there are so many things to do?"

"Hehe..." Gu Chan finally couldn't help it and laughed out loud because of Gao Tianba's teasing.

Sure enough, people should not be judged by their appearance!

Although Gao Tianba looks scary, he is actually quite funny. And from his style of doing things, it can be seen that he is absolutely quick-tempered and straightforward, not the kind of sinister person who likes to beat around the bush.

She has never been disgusted with such people.

Gao Tianba said with an unhappy look on his face, "You little stinky girl, you still dare to laugh? Aren't you afraid that I will really beat you up?"

"If you wanted to beat me, you would have done it a long time ago. Why are you talking to me for so long? Besides, I'm really confused now. Neither my brother nor I have any grudges against the Queen. We've never even seen the Queen. We are just two ordinary people. Why did she ask you by name to teach my brother a lesson?" Gu Chan said puzzledly.

"Yeah! I can't figure it out either. How did you two, unknown people, provoke her?" Gao Tianba said, grabbing the back of his head.

After saying that, he grabbed the wine jar with a depressed look on his face and took a big gulp of the wine.

At this time, Gao Lin walked out from the front lobby, came to Gao Tianba, shook the white paper fan in his hand and said, "Dad, I think I know why the queen wants to attack her brother."

"Then tell me! Why are you trying to be cool here?" Gao Tianba said unhappily.

"This girl is engaged to Brother Feng Hao, and the Queen values ​​Feng Hao so much, so of course she has to warn her. So she starts with her brother and gives her a warning. If she doesn't break off the engagement with Feng Hao, she will be the next one." Gao Lin explained.

Gu Chan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and the doubts in her heart were immediately resolved.

At the same time, she suddenly remembered the mysterious woman sitting in the black sedan three nights ago. At that time, the mysterious woman warned her and gave her three days to cancel her engagement with Feng Hao, but she forgot about it later and didn't take it to heart at all.

Now that I think about it, combined with the current situation, I'm afraid that mysterious woman that night was the one sent by the Queen.

After figuring this out, Gu Chan said with relief, "Then I understand. The Queen must have sent someone to warn me three nights ago, but I just forgot about it."

"You dare to forget this? Don't you want to live?" Gao Tianba said with a strange laugh.

"The woman was sitting in a black sedan chair at the time. She didn't show up and didn't reveal her identity to me. How would I know who she was?" Gu Chan said with a look of grievance.

Gao Tianba laughed and said, "After all this trouble, it turns out it's just for such a trivial matter! I'm really speechless. How about this! You quickly go back and cancel the engagement with Feng Hao, so that I can report to my superiors and won't do anything to your brother."

"Dad, you can't just let it go like this! That day in the teahouse, her brother beat me so hard that my wrist was dislocated. I was in pain for several days!" Gao Lin complained.

"Who told you to tease Guo Yu for no reason? I've told you many times that Guo Pinchuan is not only the president of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, but also a third-rank official in the court. I have been at odds with him for so many years. He has a weird temper and is not someone you can easily mess with. I told you to stay away from his daughter, but you refused to listen." Gao Tianba scolded him.

Gu Chan turned her head away and laughed secretly when she heard it, she was so happy.

Gao Tianba scolded again, "Let me tell you, it's a good thing that her brother beat you up that day, so the matter didn't get out of hand. Otherwise, Guo Pinchuan would have reported it to the Queen, and you would have ended up in a worse situation than a dislocated wrist. Not only do I not hate her brother now, I'm actually quite grateful to him."

Gao Lin was scolded like a grandson. He stood there with a gloomy face and said nothing, not daring to say a word.
