Chapter 19: Sisters

Gu Du sighed, walked closer and touched Mo Xuan's head, and asked, "Mo Xuan, are you okay?"

Mo Xuan raised his claws and patted him lightly. Gu Du took a step back and said with a chuckle: "Do you just dislike me like this?"

Mo Xuan roared lowly, and Dongfang Xia Lan said, "Don't try to drive me away."

Gu Du replied: "I didn't want to drive you away. Since your mother and Lixia asked you to come, then you can stay. But I have to say it first. You have to be obedient, otherwise I will send you back to Zeguo in person."

Dongfang Xialan showed joy in her eyes, but asked with a stern face: "How to be obedient?"

Gu Du replied: "Don't throw a tantrum, don't let me get in with my affairs, don't let me interfere in government affairs, don't let me in without complaining, and don't leave without saying goodbye."

Dongfang Xia Lan stretched out her hand and said, "Fighting is a swearing."

Gu Du said, "No need, just remember it."

Seeing Gu Du bringing a beautiful woman riding a black tiger back, Gongsun Yan whispered to Feng Jiu: "Is it my uncle?"

Feng Jiu replied: "It's my uncle's disciple."

Gongsun Yan frowned slightly and asked, "What are she here to do?"

Feng Jiu replied, "What do you want to do, she will do."

Gongsun Yan frowned and said nothing.

Someone exclaimed: "The girl riding a black tiger! She is the girl riding a black tiger!"

Dongfang Xia Lan was indifferent and just stared at Gongsun Yan, and Gongsun Yan also frowned and looked at her.

After entering the mountain village, Dongfang Xia Lan said, "Gu Du, take this princess out of her seat."

Gu Duyang glared at her face, and Dongfang Xia Lan said, "I'm not throwing a tantrum. This is a ritual. Do you want to disobey?"

Gongsun Yan turned her face to look at Feng Jiu, and Feng Jiu whispered softly: "She is the young master of Jueling Sect in Shanshan, and a descendant of the royal family. In terms of seniority, she is the aunt of Emperor Ze. She was named the princess in Ze Kingdom. The black tiger she rode was a rare beast, named Mo Xuan, who is spiritual and well-known."

Gongsun Yan felt a chill in her heart.

Gu Du stretched out his arms, Dongfang Xia Lan fell into his arms, and looked at Gongsun Yan with a provocative gaze. Gongsun Yan withdrew his gaze and lowered his head.

Gu Du looked at Dongfang Xia Lan and asked softly: "Are you going to be a princess or a disciple?"

Dongfang Xia Lan asked softly: "What's the difference?"

Gu Du replied softly: "Be a princess, live in a room by yourself. I will send someone to serve you every day and offer you a gift. As a disciple, live in the same room with me and Yanzi. Respecte me as my uncle. You will not mention the status of a princess again in the future."

Dongfang Xia Lan took a step back and bowed and said, "Master."

After moving the silver, Gu Du summoned everyone and said, "The affairs of the Black Tiger must not be leaked to the outside world, otherwise it will inevitably lead to a large army of encirclement and suppression. At that time, we will ride on the Black Tiger and run away. Whether you can escape depends on your own luck. And all this money will be left to others. Do you hear it clearly?"

Everyone replied in unison: "I heard it clearly!"

When he returned to the house, Gu Du said to Gongsun Yan: "It's good that Xia Lan is here, you have a companion, and I don't have to take you with me when I go out to do business in the future. With Mo Xuan here, no one dares to provoke you two. You two should be so close."

The two of them stared at each other at the same time, as if they were about to bite each other.

Gu Du looked at the two of them separately and said, "From tomorrow, you two will practice with wooden swords."

Gongsun Yan said angrily: "Master! I can't beat her!"

Dongfang Xia Lan sneered: "Don't be afraid, I won't beat you to death."

Gongsun Yan shouted, "Are you afraid of you?"

Dongfang Xia Lan raised a disdainful smile and said, "Then try it."

In fact, Gongsun Yan's spiritual power is higher than that of Dongfang Xia Lan, and he can make predictions, but his strength and martial arts are far inferior to Dongfang Xia Lan, so he was beaten away with a wooden knife in one fight. Then Dongfang Xia Lan held the wooden knife and chased Gongsun Yan all over the yard...

Gu Du didn't care, but just focused on training Ye Xiaodong and Feng Jiu. No matter how Gongsun Yan shouted, he would have to become a great person, and his physical strength, foot strength, courage, and muscles and bones all needed to be tempered. As for practicing, it is inevitable to be beaten. How can he make progress without being beaten?

In the end, Gongsun Yan fell down, and Dongfang Xia Lan swung the wooden knife and whipped Gongsun Yan in the butt, making Gongsun Yan scream and cry.

After Dongfang Xia Lan stopped, Gu Du walked over and squatted down to look at Gongsun Yan and said, "If you don't want to be beaten, you have to concentrate on your practice. I told you early in the morning that I will not accept maids, but only apprentices."

Gongsun Yan lay on the ground and cried heartbrokenly. Gu Du took her back to the room, patted the soil on her body with his own hands, then helped her lie on the bed, and said to Dongfang Xia Lan: "Put her medicine."

Gu Du left, Dongfang Xia Lan sat beside the bed, pouted and said, "If I had known this, I would have asked you to hit me."

Gongsun Yan said, "I will hit you tomorrow."

Dongfang Xia Lan frowned slightly and asked, "You didn't do it on purpose, did you?"

Gongsun Yan said angrily: "Why didn't you fall down on purpose and let me beat you?"

Dongfang Xia Lan said: "I am not as good at calculating as you. I remembered that after your knife fell, you neither shouted to stop nor ran to the wooden knife. You did it on purpose!"

Gongsun Yan said angrily: "Why are you ruthless with me? Master is not mine, it is your master. If you have the ability to ruthless with your master."

Dongfang Xia Lan slapped Gongsun Yan in the butt, making Gongsun Yan scream.

Wu Tong, the chief clerk of Lingzhen County, took a full three months to deliver all 2.7 million taels of silver to the mountain. In addition to the silver sent by each salt merchant, there were more than 3,000 large boxes.

During these three months, Dongfang Xia Lan and Gongsun Yan became like sisters when they were incompatible. Gu Du ordered people to repair a huge room for them, so that they and Mo Xuan fell asleep.

Feng Jiu's attentiveness to Gongsun Yan also began to receive a response, and Gongsun Yan was willing to talk to him more, perhaps because he knew he was polite, but now there is another Dongfang Xia Lan. She has no comparison in terms of identity and ability, so she might as well settle for the second best.

But no one came to join him for the trouble. Logically, he should have become famous, but in three months, there was not even one person to join him.

Perhaps it is because no matter how famous he is, he is a bandit after all. If he is not desperate, he will not come to join him.

Seeing that the autumn was cool and the autumn harvest was approaching, Gu Du sent people out to explore the official road leading to Rizhaoguan and prepared to rob military rations.

Chang Yun couldn't help it and persuaded: "The boss, you can't rob military rations! We only have more than a hundred people. If we really want to attract a large army to encircle and suppress it, we can't defeat it!"

Gu Du said, "Don't worry, I won't let my brothers go with me, and I don't want military rations, just want to burn it."

Chang Yun suddenly understood Gu Du's intention. If he burned military rations, the soldiers in the army would cause trouble. In order to avoid mutiny, the court either used inventory or had to collect grain twice.

This is a plan to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot.
