Chu Tian was pouring the tea when he asked the question. He sounded calm, and Gu Chaoyan could not catch his expression, but…
Gu Chaoyan answered briefly, when she already had a plan in head. “Shanhu has just returned to Li Village, and he is making medicine for his grandma. I believe that he will only return to the clinic in a couple of days, after he makes sure that his grandma is well. I am afraid that I will have to stay here with you Prime Minister Chu, sorry for the trouble.”
Chu Tian was about to drink his tea when he heard what Gu Chaoyan said. He paused before he continued to take a sip.
He let out a sigh of relief inside his heart.
Actually, he privately hoped that Gu Chaoyan could stay longer, after she offered him the best solution to his problem.
He was not good at martial arts, so he had not expected that the King would entrust this errand to him.
The King asked him to help the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince got so frightened that he returned to the capital directly, whilst he found the errand getting more and more difficult.
He could not just drop the civilians at Li Village either, and he had to keep all of them safe.
So Chu Tian hoped that he would be able to complete the mission perfectly.
Elder Miss Gu was a smart lady and she should be able to offer some help. So it was great if she could just stay and help. His guards would definitely keep her safe too, on the basis that she was willing to stay.
“Let me arrange a tent for you, it’s a little shabby, but that is the best we can offer,” Chu Tian said embarrassedly.
Gu Chaoyan nodded and thanked him.
It was still early, so Chu Tian exchanged a few more words with Gu Chaoyan.
“Elder Miss, do you think that anything else will happen during these days? We have just caught one of the monsters,” Chu Tian asked.
He asked this question because he approved of Gu Chaoyan’s intelligence.
Gu Chaoyan thought for a while. Then she nodded.
She came to Li Village personally, only because she believed that something else would happen.
“Just think about this, Prime Minister Chu, if this monster is not being controlled, it can be very harmful and dangerous. The person who made it must have spent effort in doing so, and we aren’t able to fight them. So I believe that something else will definitely happen.”
“…”
“Prime Minister Chu, you have to be prepared,” Gu Chaoyan said seriously.
Chu Tian’s face turned even paler.
They had many men here, but they were not a match against the metal monsters, even though they were fully prepared.
Chu Tian, who had a serious look on his face, cast a look at Gu Chaoyan, who appeared calm and asked, “Lady Chaoyan, would you like to check out the trap we have built?”
“Sure.” Gu Chaoyan nodded.
Chu Tian showed her the traps that Chu Tian had carefully planned.
Gu Chaoyan was shocked.
It was a great trap and a well-planned one too.
“These are the methods proposed by the Crown Prince’s officer, he is an excellent one,” Chu Tian said.
Gu Chaoyan was shocked. “The Crown Prince’s officer?”
