Chapters 181 and 181. Seeking Help
Liu Yun and the others were so frightened that tears welled up in their eyes. If they were taken to the bandit stronghold, their fate was unimaginable.

At the same time, she glared angrily at the three men hiding in the car. In other families, it's the men who fight back desperately outside, but what about their family?
"Father, we can't be taken away, or else..."

Under the watchful eyes of his parents and brothers, Gu Kaiping didn't know how to continue. He truly didn't have the courage to get out of the car and face those vicious robbers.

"Big brother, do you mean we're going down?" Gu Kaichen looked at Gu Kaiping with gratitude. "Big brother, don't worry, I will protect my sister-in-law and niece."

Gu Kaiping, "...Big brother's health isn't good; he probably won't be able to withstand the attack if he goes down there, Kaichen..."

"Big brother, what are you still dawdling about at a time like this?" Gu Kaichen guessed what he was going to say, and taking advantage of his inattention, he grabbed Gu Kaiping and pushed him out. Gu Kaiping lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"Father," Gu Anliang tried to pull him back, but it was too late. He turned around and looked at Gu Kaichen with hatred. "Second Uncle, what are you doing?"

Gu Baijiang had ignored the conversation between the brothers, thinking that the people sent by the Third Prince would take action, but he did not expect that the second brother would be so impatient.

Kaiping is the Gu family's hope now. If anything goes wrong, or if he falls and hurts his face, then they will be truly finished.

Thinking of this, Old Man Gu no longer cared about the father-son relationship and kicked Gu Kaichen out of the car as well, saying, "Quickly protect your older brother."

Gu Kaichen, "..."

Before he could even complain about Gu Baijiang's favoritism, a mocking laugh came from behind him. "Look, the rats hiding inside have jumped down. I was thinking that since you're honest and timid enough, I'd bring you to the village to be our laborers. Since you're so eager to die, don't blame me for giving you a quick death."

The man leading the ox threw down the rope, grabbed a machete, and charged straight at the Gu brothers.

Gu Kaiping, disregarding his brother's heartlessness, quickly put on a smiling face and said, "Sir, you've misunderstood. We really didn't mean to do anything. You're here to make money, so we're willing to give you our valuables."

The man looked at Gu Kaiping with disdain, "I can't stand people like you who are all so sanctimonious. You're all so fat and bloated. It's obvious you've been plundering the people. Your good days are over. It's our turn now."

They even had this condescending tone, saying, "Give me the stuff." Do I need your charity, sir? If we resolve this for you, the stuff will still be ours, won't it?

Seeing the two men crawling back on the ground, the man suddenly became interested, slowed down, and slowly closed in on them with his machete in hand.

He now understands somewhat why cats enjoy teasing mice; it feels really good.

"Please, sir, spare our family!" Gu Kaichen caught a glimpse of a man lying on the ground covered in blood. The man was no longer the arrogant figure he had been, and had even forgotten his identity as the second master of the Gu family. "We'll give you anything you want, as long as you spare us."

The man pointed his knife at the carriage and said, "Then hand over your women. If they're pretty, I'll keep them, and then we'll be relatives."

As he spoke, a lewd smile appeared on his face, and saliva even dripped from the corner of his mouth, as if he were lost in some fantasy...

At that moment, he didn't notice the terror in the eyes of the Gu brothers; he only felt a sharp pain in his back and a red sword tip protruding from his stomach...

After Liu Pingkang finished speaking, he looked at the two brothers with disdain and said, "If you're a man, pick up your weapon and protect your family. Kneeling down and begging for mercy won't solve anything at this time."

After saying that, he ignored them and joined another battle.

There are far too many families like this. If it weren't for his duty, Liu Pingkang wouldn't have wanted to save them. What good is a grown man if he can't even protect his family?
As he glanced at the location of Gu Kaiyuan's oxcart, he became even more certain that both escort agencies had come for them.

Look at the Bai family's oxcart, it was surrounded by protection. Any fools who dared to step forward were instantly killed with a single blow.

Gu Kaiyuan and Bai's aunt never showed up, and I couldn't find an opportunity to ask them for help.

Of course, the situation there also attracted the attention of some people. Some clever ones, like Chen Dafu, quietly brought their families closer.

Lin Hua and the others glanced at them but did not interfere.

This family was clever; the woman carried the luggage while the man held a stick, protecting her from the robbers.

"Quickly find a way to get closer to the Bai family's oxcart," Chen Dafu said, emboldened by the fact that the other party did not stop them from approaching, and began to lead the way in that direction.

He now realized that the two escort services that followed were also likely the work of the Bai family.

There were also two young men guarding the oxcart. He seemed to have seen them before; he had heard they were Gu Kaiyuan's former attendants.

"Nephew Gu, please help me..." Chen Dafu pretended to be terrified and tried to rush into the protective circle set up by Lin Wei and his group with his family.

But before they could get close, they were forced back by a long sword.

Standing next to her, Madam Chen was so frightened that she quickly grabbed Chen Dafu. What's wrong with this old man today? He's acting so recklessly. Wasn't he always the most valiant of men?
“Open source,” Chen Dafu forced a fawning smile, “You let your uncle’s family hide inside, and we certainly won’t cause you any trouble.”

Gu Kaiyuan really didn't want to talk to this old man. Nobody knew which side he was on, but he definitely harbored ill intentions towards their family.

He hasn't yet broken away from the Gu family, nor does he want to get involved with them.

"Lord Chen, you should go and ask the escort for help."

Chen Dafu cursed him inwardly as a coward, but then forced a smile and said, "Then please tell Bai... and my niece-in-law..."

"Lord Chen, aren't you putting me in a difficult position?" Gu Kaiyuan stopped him from speaking. "Our team has more than a hundred people. Who can be responsible for whose life?"
I see your house is well-defended. The best course of action is for everyone to work together and drive these robbers away.

Gu Kaiyuan had already seen several other households heading this way and knew that this couldn't go on, so he called Lin Hua and Lin Wei and asked them to bring people over to help.

Lin Hua said, "Young Master, this is not appropriate. What will we do if we leave this place?"

"With Yunni here, and me and him here, there won't be any problems." Gu Kaiyuan looked at Yunni, and seeing Yunni nod slightly, he felt even more confident.

As long as Yunni helps him block the outside, he can completely protect Bai Suihe by providing support from the side.

"Hurry up, or more people will gather and attract even more robbers."
