Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 169. Meeting
Gu Kaichen rushed over with his son, saying, "My brother is really something, making me come to help him gather firewood."

In the rush of the journey, with people constantly passing by, Gu Anwei didn't really have a chance to tell them what he had overheard.

"Dad, you'd better be careful later. Don't agree to everything your eldest uncle and third uncle say."

As they drew nearer, Gu Anwei quickly grabbed Gu Kaichen and gave him some instructions.

“Your eldest uncle, your third uncle?” Gu Kaichen turned around and stared at his son. “Tell me clearly, what do you know?”

Seeing that no one was around, Gu Anwei tiptoed and whispered in his ear.

Gu Kaicheng's expression changed repeatedly, realizing that his whole family had kept it from him.

He took two deep breaths before striding toward Gu Kaiping and the others. "Brother, so you've found your fortune here at Kaiyuan."

The two brothers glanced at Gu Anwei beside him, knowing that the kid must have told them everything, and they didn't care about Gu Kaichen's sarcastic remarks.

The three brothers, behind Gu Baijiang's back, began to deal with his "assets".

Half an hour passed, and the three brothers had each gotten what they wanted. Now it was up to them to decide what to do next.

After seeing the people off, Gu Kaiyuan hurriedly invited Dongmei and the others to come over and warm up, while he returned to the shelter.

"I've seen them off," Bai Suihe said, sitting there reading a book. She only glanced up when she heard the noise.

"From now on, we just need to maintain a superficial peace with them," Gu Kaiyuan said with a smile, which was great news these days.

Bai Suihe: "Didn't the two of them start fighting?"

Gu Kaiyuan said, "Even without my share, the two can still get along peacefully for now. As for how to divide it, neither of them mentioned it to me. I guess they both want to exert pressure on their father."

Bai Suihe put down the book in her hand, "Then your second brother is going to suffer a loss."

He might only have a chance if Hsu Hui-chen is still alive.

“That’s their problem,” Gu Kaiyuan said. He was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t sit still any longer and quickly took off his coat. “Your method is really good. We won’t be so afraid if we encounter such bad weather again.”

“That’s right,” Bai Suihe said smugly, raising her chin slightly. She usually liked to watch short videos when she had nothing to do. Although she didn’t think about them much, she couldn’t help but remember them after watching so many.

“I’m doing this to help everyone. Winters and springs in the south are especially damp and cold. When you arrive in Lingnan, you’ll definitely have nowhere to stay for a while. Building a simple shelter like this will at least give everyone a transition period.”

Gu Kaiyuan always heard some new words from Bai Suihe, and after thinking about it carefully, he could understand them.

Seeing that it was getting late, and that there was no need to worry about the difference between men and women, they quickly invited Dongmei and the others to come in and rest.

Zhuang Datou and the others wanted to keep watch, but Gu Kaiyuan refused. The wind outside was biting, and even if they really wanted to keep watch, they could do so inside.

When Gu Baijiang saw Gu Kaiping and the others return, each carrying a piece of wood, he didn't say anything more.

He returned to his carriage to rest, at the attentive service of his two sons.

Nothing was said that night, but the cold air mass made many people sick.

The next day, while packing, they heard many sneezes and some coughs. Bai Suihe was ordered to stay in the carriage all day to prevent these people from catching the virus.

Fortunately, they arrived at the post station that night.

Long queues formed in front of the doctors who were on duty at the post station. In addition, people were frantically grabbing thick cotton-padded coats and quilts from the stalls, no longer caring about saving.

Bai Suihe had prepared everything perfectly, so she didn't go over to compete with them, but instead came to the room early.

The room was so cold that she couldn't help but wrap her robe tighter around herself. "It's so cold."

"Miss, I asked them to give me two fire baskets, they'll be delivered in a bit." Chunxiang also felt that this room was unusually cold, not as cold as the shelter they slept in last night.

"Never mind," Bai Suihe said, still traumatized by burning charcoal in the room. She figured she could just add two more blankets.

Bai Suihe was still worried, so she added, "If you're burning charcoal tonight, remember to be careful and don't close all the doors and windows tightly."

The two maids laid out the original inn's quilts at the bottom and then put the quilts they had brought up on top. They asked the waiter for some hot water, intending to help Bai Suihe wash up, but Bai Suihe refused.

"Leave the water running, I'll take care of it myself in a bit. Go and settle your things quickly."

Dongmei and the others were already used to Bai Suihe's increasing liking for doing things herself, so they didn't say much. They all felt that this was the young lady getting used to the life ahead.

They have said many times that they will accompany Miss to live in Lingnan, but Miss does not seem to think so. She always says that they are already married and will have their own small family in the future. She has put the indenture in the mansion before and will never go back on her word.

As soon as the two maids left, Bai Suihe returned to her spatial dimension.

In this space with the most comfortable and constant temperature, Bai Suihe breathed a sigh of relief; it was still warm here.

Now she rarely spends time in the space with Gu Kaiyuan at the same time. She always needs to leave one person outside to cover for her, even if it's only for a moment. But what if they get discovered?

Gu Kaiyuan greeted Liu Pingkang, slipped him another silver note, and then left through the back door with Zhuang Datou.

Lin Hua was already waiting there. When he saw Gu Kaiyuan, his face lit up with joy. "Young Master, you've finally arrived."

They've been here for several days already; the exile procession is moving far too slowly.

"How are everything arranged?" Gu Kaiyuan was led to the inn next door, where Lin Wei and a few others were waiting.

"Young Master, this is Chief Escort Liu from the Eternal Escort Agency, and this is Chief Escort Xu from the Lichang Escort Agency. They are the ones who helped transport the goods we purchased," Lin Hua introduced.

After all, the young master will be starting a new business in Lingnan in the future, and they need to prepare some scarce resources in advance. It is also good that they invited two escort agencies to go together so that the goods can be transported at the same time.

Gu Kaiyuan greeted them one by one before letting them sit down and chat.

Lin Wei had already instructed the waiter to serve the dishes and stood behind Gu Kaiyuan to serve him.

"This time, besides having you escort the goods, we also hope you can help us along the way." Gu Kaiyuan didn't hide anything, telling everyone about his current identity and the upcoming arrangements.

"Following behind us, you probably won't be able to move at the same speed as before, but I will give you double the reward."

Liu, the head镖师, glanced at Xu, the head镖师, before saying, "We don't have much of a problem with that, but we need to confirm the people we need to protect. Your exile team has so many people; we can't protect them all."
