The one who came to greet Gu Chen was naturally a female swordsman.
When the caged cart monster went berserk and rushed out of Gewufang, Feiyan rode the hammer-headed bird to chase after it. However, the mount was strong enough but could not keep up with the female swordsman's reaction. As a result, when Feiyan chased out of the city gate, the caged cart was racing furiously.
The monster has disappeared at the end of sight and can no longer be traced.
The disappearance of the owner of the workshop caused Gewufang to fall into chaos for a while, but fortunately the next day, news came from Changxia Palace that Gu Chen was in Nanchuan Fort. When they heard that Gu Chen would return to Liyang City under the escort of hunting cavalry, everyone was also worried.
Finally he was able to let it go. Wu Zhen turned to deal with the series of troubles caused by the rampage of the caged cart monster, while Feiyan patrolled Ximen Square on the mountain and finally waited for the return of his owner.
"Well, I'm sorry for making everyone worry, but it's nothing serious."
Gu Chen drove the armored vehicle back to Gewufang and apologized to everyone who gathered around him.
"Really, sir, you are the owner of Gewufang. Everyone in Gewufang relies on your protection. If something happens to you, who should we follow? Please be more self-respecting in the future and don't do such dangerous things again!"
The female secretary first made a serious protest to the owner of her own shop on behalf of everyone, and then told Gu Chen the news of Chang Xia Palace's summons.
"Hmm, did you come after all?"
Gu Chen scratched his face helplessly.
After all, the commotion has reached such an extent that even the golden bell of the city tower is ringing urgently. It is of course impossible to say "please don't mind" to Chang Xia Palace now. In fact, Gu Chen understood it as early as when the city guard respectfully opened the door.
It is necessary to give an explanation to the leader of Li Yang. However, it is understandable that negotiating with that tough and ambitious female hero is still a troublesome matter that can be avoided for Gu Chen.
"If the young master allows it, how about I go and negotiate with Changxia Palace?"
Seeing Gu Chen's expression of embarrassment, Wu Zhen immediately put forward his opinion.
"Eh? Sister Wu Zhen, are you going?"
Gu Chen was stunned when he heard this. To be honest, this is a very attractive proposal.
The female secretary is familiar with the affairs of the consular office, and her organizational and negotiation skills are also at a very high level. If she is asked to negotiate, I believe she can definitely get the best results for Gewufang. The only thing that makes Gu Chen hesitate is that Wu
Zhen is not only his assistant, but also the daughter of the Wu family in Liyang.
As the master of Changxia Palace, Wu Zhen would be resigned to coming to Gewufang as an assistant. If she was asked to go back and negotiate with her sister Wu Yan, who was the head of the palace, Gu Chen would not be able to do such a thing no matter how thick-skinned he was - if
If he really does it, he will probably never raise his head in front of the heroine in his life.
"No, no need, it's better for me to go by myself."
After much consideration, Gu Chen decided to go and meet with his female boss in person.
……………………
Now that the decision has been made, Gu Chen will no longer hesitate to implement it.
After moving the sleeping cage monster into the warehouse and arranging the details such as cleaning up the aftermath, Gu Chen, accompanied by Fei Yan, went to visit Changxia Palace the next day. Wu Mansion, commonly known as "Changxia Palace", is located in the inner city of Liyang.
The outer and inner city of the clan also gathered the retainers and nobles who supported the operation of the territory and were loyal to the princes, which was the secret of Liyang territory.
Ordinary people are not allowed to set foot in the inner city unless there are special circumstances, but Gu Chen is a young supervisor, and Feiyan also holds a palace guard license, so they are not among the restrictions.
Feiyan was amazed by the completely different elegant environment between the inner city and the outer city. Before meeting the heroine of the palace, Gu Chen was happy to accompany the female swordsman for a walk in the inner city.
"Is that okay? Gu Chen, aren't you going to see the boss?"
"I have plenty of time. It doesn't matter if I wander around a bit. Besides, I'm also quite interested in the inner city."
It's not a lie to say that he is interested in the inner city. Last time when Gu Chen went to Changxia Palace, he took a carriage prepared by the consul's office and only took a casual look at the streets along the way. This time, he and Feiyan walked around slowly.
In the past, it was another unique flavor.
It should be written by a famous teacher. The inner city of Liyang is quite neatly planned, and the street environment is carefully taken care of by dedicated personnel. It feels more like a high-end residential community on the other side of the earth. There are unique small buildings allocated to ordinary nobles in the inner city.
There is also the Haohua mansion built by Liyang's prominent family, and caged cars carrying supplies can often be seen passing through it.
There are also food shops, cloth workshops and other livelihood facilities on both sides of the streets in the inner city. During the war to defend the city, these facilities will play a key role in allocating logistics, and in normal times they will provide consumption for the nobles and their families living in the inner city.
While wandering around, Gu Chen found that the quality and price of the goods sold in the inner city were much higher than those in the outer city. For example, Feiyan liked the swords made by the inner city workshop. Gu Chen originally wanted to buy them and give them to his daughter.
Swordsman, but Feiyan shook her head and refused.
"Wu Zhen said that Gewufang does not have a fixed profit income now, so we should try our best to live within our means." The female swordsman looked at the owner seriously. "I think she is right, Gu Chen, it is hard to have no money."
"Huh? But, didn't you make a lot of money when you were in Ligong Chaoxu last time?"
"Didn't Gewufang just recently complete the construction of the commercial center and upgrade the personnel? That's the money used. Of course there is still some surplus in the book, but our family's wallet can't be called rich even to put it politely." The female swordsman responded.
With.
When she first arrived in Liyang, she lived on the streets with the sword monster, and ever since she learned the four arithmetic from Gu Chen and worked as a salesperson in the workshop, Feiyan has become particularly sensitive to numbers. Now she seems to be helping Wu Zhen share the responsibility of accounting books,
He even knows better than someone else how much wealth Gewufang has.
"Uh, that's true."
Gu Chen scratched his head in embarrassment. Wu Zhen, Fei Yan, and even Xiaoyi Ani all contributed to the efforts of the workshop group in their own way, but as the leader of the workshop, he wasted a lot of resources for his personal interests. Although
This is also the natural right of the shop owner, but in comparison, it still feels a bit guilty.
"We really need to fix a few profit-making projects first. Let's think about it carefully when we get back."
Gu Chen muttered to himself. With the salary of the Young Supervisor Division, Gewufang would not really be in a situation of running out of ammunition and food, but if his servants were allowed to get to the point where they were counting on the monthly relief from the government, then he would
This shop owner could just find a piece of tofu and kill him altogether.
Gu Chen, who was smacking his tongue in his heart, and Feiyan slowly turned towards the square corner of Changxia Palace. As they approached Changxia Palace, there were many more patrol figures on the road, and it was probably the guard badge on Feiyan's waist that had an effect.
The patrolmen watched from a distance and did not come to disturb them. The two of them entered the inner city at Chenshi, and it was already close to noon when they reached Changxia Palace.
It is hottest at noon, but there are many ancient trees transplanted from the dense forests of Nanman planted around Changxia Palace, and there is also an artificial river surrounding Wu Shi. The lush green shade blocks the harsh sunlight above the head, and the flowing water in the river takes away a little of the heat.
, the feeling of walking under the green shade is not unbearable.
Currently, there are no thermometers in the Chenghuang Kingdoms. Gu Chen can only guess that the current temperature is between thirty-eight and forty degrees based on his body senses. At the same time, he can't help but miss the thermometer with the barometric temperature function that arrived at Rishengchang.
Mountaineering watch. Speaking of which, when I met Bai Minghua recently, I didn’t seem to see her wearing that mountaineering watch again. She must have kept it for safekeeping, right?
