Chapter 515 Helpless, Helpless
Gu Chan was so amused that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Only then did she understand what holding a meeting was like.
She used to run a pet shop in modern times, dealing with cats and dogs all day long, but it was never this troublesome! As expected, humans are the most complicated animals. Everyone has their own ideas, and it is difficult to reach a unified consensus.
In the end, Gu Chan couldn't help it anymore, and waved her hand and shouted, "Alright, everyone, be quiet. Since it's getting so noisy, why don't we all vote? Make a note of the two plans with the numbers one and two, and the one with the most supporters will be elected."
"Okay, this is the best and fair way, and it avoids everyone making a fuss." Yan Xishan nodded in agreement.
Everyone then quieted down and stopped arguing.
Yan Xishan immediately ordered his servants to bring paper and pen, wrote one or two pieces of paper, and then brought up a wooden box for everyone to vote.
After a while, the voting results came out. The votes for the second option of taking a detour abroad exceeded those of the Flying Mystic Beast Team by more than ten votes. Without a doubt, the second option had to be chosen.
Gu Chan laughed and said, "Now that the result is out, there's no need to argue. Let's choose the second plan."
"Yes, Lord." Everyone responded in unison.
Gu Chan looked at Bai Jingtian and the other two and said, "The three of you hurry up and pack your luggage, then set off tonight with a dozen cargo ships. I'll leave the task of transporting the relief money to the border to you. If you can't deliver it, you don't have to come back. Anyway, when the prince's army breaks in, I'll be the first to die, followed by all the officials, merchants and wealthy people in Jiangnan. The Chang family and the Xiao family won't be able to escape either."
"Yes, Lord." The three of them immediately stood up, clasped their fists and saluted, then left.
After they left, Gu Chancai said to Yan Xishan, "Don't be idle. Aren't you going to form a flying beast team? Form one, and then take some oil to sprinkle it in the air. It would be best if you could pour oil on all the prince's boats that travel by water."
"Ah? Lord, those are tens of thousands of living soldiers! If they really do this, what will they do if the ship catches fire?" Yan Xishan said in surprise.
"There is no waterway leading to the Jiangnan area that is not crowded with merchant ships. If their ship really catches fire, the numerous merchant ships passing by can rescue them. There is no need to worry about them being burned to death." Gu Chan said with a smirk.
She is not a saint. At this critical juncture, she has to consider the soldiers under the prince.
As long as we can stop them from entering the Jiangnan area without actually taking their lives, then this thing can definitely be done.
Yan Xishan also felt that what Gu Chan said made sense, so he said no more and immediately told everyone to go back and form flying beast teams.
Gu Chan did not stay in the Censorate's Mansion. After the meeting, she took a carriage to Chang's Wharf.
After midnight.
Gu Chan, Bai Jingtian and the other two met at Chang’s Wharf.
At this time, more than a dozen cargo ships docked at the dock had already hoisted their sails, waiting for the three of them to board before setting sail.
Gu Chan stared at the three of them and said, "Remember, this mission can only succeed and not fail. If you succeed and meet the Ninth Prince at the border, you will have made great contributions and become his great contributors. Even if the Jiangnan area cannot be protected in the future, you can move your family to the border to ensure your family's safety."
"Lord, don't worry! We will definitely complete the mission this time." "Yes! Even if it's for our respective families, we have no choice but to fight."
Chang Wei and Xiao Xiang said in a serious tone.
Bai Jingtian said nothing, his face changing from gloomy to bright.
Gu Chan reached out and patted his firm chest muscles and said, "Don't worry so much. Your Bai family is rooted in Kyoto. Even if the prince wants to move your Bai family, it will be difficult. After all, your Bai family still has an old man who is as powerful as a monster! Before he wants to move your Bai family, shouldn't he think about it?"
"Oh! It's all my fault that I chose the wrong master. If I hadn't chosen to be loyal to the second prince in the beginning, I probably wouldn't be in such a difficult situation now." Bai Jingtian sighed.
"Don't think like that. It's inevitable that people will make mistakes in their lives. The key is to make amends in time after making a mistake. It's not too late. If you really want to save the Bai family, then seize this opportunity and try to bring your family to the border in the future." Gu Chan said comfortingly.
Bai Jingtian nodded solemnly.
After that, the two sides didn’t say anything more. The three of them immediately said goodbye to Gu Chan and boarded the boat to leave.
Gu Chan stood there, watching more than a dozen cargo ships set sail one by one and slowly disappear on the dark river. Only then did she suppress her worries and got on the carriage to return to Jiangnan City.
After returning to the Jigong Temple, Gu Chan tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep at all. It was not until dawn that she fell into a deep sleep.
At noon the next day, when Gu Chan woke up, the white fox was sitting beside the bed and said, "Master, you are awake! Wei Xing came here this morning. He has been waiting for you in the Buddhist hall in front. He said he has something to discuss with you."
"I got it. I'll just wash up and come over soon." Gu Chan said with a smile.
After saying that, she got out of bed, put on her clothes, and sat in front of the dressing table to wash up.
The white fox ran out to play happily.
Gu Chan was combing her hair and looking at herself in the bronze mirror. She was suddenly stunned.
Because she has always been dressed as a man, she usually wears her hair up in a bun on top of her head. But when she untied her hair today and combed it slowly, she realized that her hair had grown very long and reached her waist when she put it behind her.
Of course, this was not what worried her most. What worried her most was that another year was about to pass, her body was already thirteen years old, and now her female characteristics were becoming more and more obvious.
In the past, she had wrapped her breasts with a breast wrap to limit their development, but now she felt a dull pain in her chest. Because the spiritual energy in her body was very strong, her breasts had grown very rapidly, so the breast wrap she had prepared before could hardly cover her growing breasts.
Gu Chan raised her hand to weigh her growing breasts, and said with a bitter face, "What can I do? My breasts are getting bigger and bigger, and my butt is getting more and more perky. If I keep wrapping myself like this, it will hurt every day, and I can't wrap myself up at all. If I continue like this, my body will be exposed sooner or later! Damn it! I have to fight with the prince now. If I really expose my body and the prince catches me, I will be miserable."
At the end of the conversation, Gu Chan's brows were furrowed in worry, and she really didn't know what to do.
With no other options, she could only continue to put her hair up, wrap her chest with a chest wrap, then put on men's clothes and leave the room, pretending nothing had happened as she walked towards the Buddhist temple in front.
