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

Chapter 233. Warning
Gu Kaiyuan returned to the carriage and tossed the gold leaf directly to Dongmei, saying, "When we reach the next post station, buy more steamed buns and give them to whoever needs them."

Bai Suihe raised an eyebrow at him, "Not bad, you've made some gains on this trip."

She knew exactly what Gu Kaiyuan had on him; she had quite a lot of that stuff in her spatial storage, but she didn't know where it came from.

"Someone wants to act as an elder, so of course they have to look like an elder, which means they'll have to spend a lot of money."

"You didn't kowtow, did you?" Bai Suihe looked at him as if he were an idiot. They didn't lack these things, was such a big sacrifice necessary?

"How could that be? It's just a simple bow. Besides, she's about the same age as my father and they've a good relationship. If you really want to talk about it, she's an elder. I'd think it's too little of a gift for her."

Bai Suihe quickly sat up straight. "Tell me quickly, what happened?"

Gu Kaiyuan was prepared. He took a sip of water before beginning his explanation.

Bai Suihe followed the two maids, laughing from time to time, as if she couldn't wait to witness the scene.

"I wonder when your father will summon me." Bai Suihe was somewhat expectant.

She wasn't greedy for the so-called "meeting gift," but rather wanted to witness their amazing face-changing skills up close.

Gu Kaiyuan shook his head. "After today, they probably won't want to see you for a while."

Giving a gift on the first meeting should leave a bad impression on Madam Xu. If she wants to find an excuse to make things difficult for Bai Suihe, we'll see if she's willing to give it.

"That's a real shame..." Bai Suihe rubbed her belly. "Speaking of which, I guess I could have ordered two portions?"

"..."

Everything was covered in white, and clusters of smoke rising from the valleys added a touch of color to the snowy night.

Apart from the night watchmen, the place was filled with snoring and the occasional whispering in one's sleep.

"Daddy, Mommy, there's danger!" The baby's voice rang in their minds.

Bai Suihe's eyes widened instantly. Gu Kaiyuan had already sat up, looking around warily.

"Baby, is someone trying to kill us?" Bai Suihe looked around. It was very quiet, eerily quiet.

"I remember we could hear some sounds coming from the mountains before we went to sleep, why is it so quiet now?"

Gu Kaiyuan calculated the time and realized what he had forgotten: "A pack of wolves came down the mountain."

Bai Suihe's heart tightened. The wolf pack coming down the mountain—she knew what that meant. "What do we do? Quickly surround the fire..."

The baby quickly reassured her, "Mommy, don't worry, I can protect you."

Bai Suihe gently stroked her belly, "You're still young. Adults will handle these things. Your father has hired many people, so don't be afraid of the little wolf pack."

Gu Kaiyuan glanced at her. This small pack of wolves numbered in the dozens. In his previous life, some people had been dragged away.

Bai Suihe glared at Gu Kaiyuan. With so many able-bodied adults, were they really going to rely on the baby in their womb for protection?
I don't know if using my abilities now will harm my baby, so of course I don't want to.

Gu Kaiyuan was aware of these concerns, and cooperatively said, "Don't worry, baby, Daddy will definitely protect you this time. Do you know how long it will take for the wolf pack to arrive?"

In his previous life, he was also awakened from his sleep. The scene became chaotic for a while, and by the time things calmed down, it was already broad daylight.

“It’s right at the top of the mountain,” the baby said in a childish voice. “They’re observing.”

Gu Kaiyuan gently stroked his belly. "Suihe, when there's any movement, hurry up and go into the carriage and have Dongmei and the others block the doors and windows."

Bai Suihe knew she couldn't cause trouble at this time, so she nodded solemnly, "You need to be careful here too."

She knew that Gu Kaiyuan wouldn't want to hide at this moment, and with two escort agencies and so many experts around, nothing should go wrong.

Gu Kaiyuan first helped Bai Suihe put on her clothes properly, then wrapped her tightly in her cloak before waking up Dongmei and the others who were not far away.

Dongmei and the others were still confused, but when they heard that Bai Suihe wanted to go into the carriage, they didn't say anything and immediately helped her into the carriage.

Gu Kaiyuan, along with Zhuang Datou and the others who had already woken up, went to call two bodyguards from the escort agency, while he himself went to find Yun Ni and the others.

"What's wrong?" The fact that their employer had woken them up so late made them a little nervous.

“There’s a pack of wolves,” Gu Kaiyuan said bluntly. “They’re watching us from the mountain right now. Quickly wake up the brothers and make sure our men form a circle.”

Gu Kaiyuan only wants to protect Bai Suihe now; he can't care about the others.

Everyone quickly sprang into action, and Gu Kaiyuan, of course, didn't forget to remind Liu Pingkang and the others.

Although Liu Pingkang didn't know how Gu Kaiyuan knew the wolf pack was watching them, he believed that Gu Kaiyuan wouldn't lie to them.

These wolves are far more terrifying than those bandits. Once they've got their eyes on you, they're not going to let you off easily. They have no choice but to fight to the death.

"Hurry up, get up!" Fearing that the wolves would be alerted and attack prematurely, the escort used an unusually gentle voice to wake everyone up.

Everyone was sound asleep in the middle of the night when they were woken up by this noise, and they were all very upset. But when they heard that there was a pack of wolves, they panicked.

They were all pampered nobles, and the hardships they had endured these days were the most they had ever experienced in their lives. Now there were also wolf packs, which they had heard of many times before. These creatures used to wreak havoc on an entire village.

"Quiet down, all of you. If you keep making such a racket and attract the wolves, you won't even have time to prepare," Ma Zhi warned in a low voice. "If the wolves really come down from the mountain, who do you think will be the first to suffer?"

These people saw the sword at Ma Zhi's waist and knew what he was referring to.

"Hurry up, get all the defensive weapons you can think of that you can use," Ma Zhi said through gritted teeth when he saw everyone standing there in a daze. "When things get chaotic, no one can guarantee they can protect you. What you need to do now is think about how to protect yourselves."

These words were like a wake-up call. No one dared to stand there anymore. They quickly packed their things away, grabbing everything from the menu used for chopping vegetables to the fire poker.

Seeing their chaotic state, and realizing there was no solution, Ma Zhi and his team had no choice but to begin giving instructions based on methods they had learned from their predecessors.

The women and children were all driven into the carriage, which was then pushed into the middle, and all the livestock were also driven into the middle.

Seeing the men still trying to squeeze into the carriage, Liu Pingkang lashed out with his whip, saying, "You don't even protect your own families, do you expect us to look after you?"

"Now, all adult men are to stand guard outside. If anyone dares to hide, don't blame us for settling scores later."
