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

Chapter 275. Analysis
"Then you still dared to put him in jail," Wu Xingshun said with a sneer. "Since you came out, I've been scared nine times a day. Now we've offended the Third Prince. If he really ascends to the throne, I'll be in trouble along with you."

Despite her complaints, her eyes gleamed with gossip. "Who do you think will end up in that position?"

"How would I know? I'm afraid even my master couldn't figure it out."

"That's true. Anything can happen until the very last day."

Every struggle for the throne is a bloody battle, and it's uncertain whether Master will be able to emerge unscathed this time.

At this point, both of them showed worry. They had avoided the eye of the storm, but their respected teacher was still in the midst of it.

"Master is Chunchen, so there shouldn't be any major problems." Although Xu Zitian said this, he wasn't sure himself. There are plenty of ways to scheme against someone.

Not to mention the royal family members, who are cunning and scheming, making them virtually impossible to guard against.

"Should we turn a blind eye to those people?"

"What does this have to do with us? As long as they don't cause trouble on my turf, I can turn a blind eye. But if they go too far, or try to use us as pawns, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Wu Xingshun gave him a thumbs up, "Still the same temper. No wonder Master was afraid you'd cause trouble and sent you far away. It just dragged me down with you. I don't know how much longer I'll have to stay in this godforsaken place."

"Then I'll have to write a letter and ask Master to hand you over to the other fellow disciples."

"No way!" Wu Xingshun hurriedly waved his hand in fright. These damned inner disciples were all bad, and each one was more unreliable than the last. He really didn't know what his master was thinking. Why didn't he take such an obedient and honest person as his personal disciple, but instead chose these troublemakers?

“It’s rare for me to be kind and want to give you freedom. I really don’t regret it. I remember that Brother Kuang went to Heilongjiang Province. His partner didn’t go with him because of health reasons. If you are interested, I can recommend him to you.”

Wu Xingshun looked at Xu Zitian with a sorrowful expression, "You guys are bullying me too much. I've already followed you to Lingnan, and you still want to exile me to Ningguta? Why are you so ruthless..."

Xu Zitian chuckled, his previous bad mood vanished. His master was right; by transferring his bad mood to others, he could gain a good mood.

Knowing that there are still many things to deal with, I am now full of energy again.

Seeing Xu Zitian leave like that, Wu Xingshun quickly followed, saying, "Let me tell you, I've already developed feelings for this place... Anyway, if you don't leave, I won't leave either..."

Gu Baijiang and his group bought a whole cartload of stuff, and everyone's face was beaming with joy. With so much stuff, they finally didn't have to live frugally anymore and could enjoy a few good days.

"Dad, I've already talked to the bricklayers, and they'll come to the village tomorrow to help us build our house." Gu Kaichen, having finally accomplished something, quickly took credit.

"Not bad, keep it up in the future."

Gu Baijiang gave a perfunctory compliment and then began to talk to Gu Kaiping about the books he had just bought, saying, "As their father and uncle, you should also make sure your two sons get their studies in order to participate in the imperial examinations next year."

As for why he didn't teach them himself, it was because he knew his own limitations. Having spent many years navigating the officialdom, he had forgotten his original intentions and could no longer settle down to pursue scholarship. He might even mislead his children with some of his views. "Don't worry, Dad, I will teach them well. They are the future hope of our Gu family." Gu Kaiping immediately took on the task. He didn't have the time before, but now that he did, he naturally wanted to see how capable his son and nephew were.

As they were chatting and laughing, they saw a long convoy of cars appear around the corner. They were thinking that they never expected there to be such a wealthy family in this remote place. With so many cars and so much stuff, it must cost a lot of money.

But when they saw Lin Hua riding a horse alongside the carriage, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"These are the third brother's things?" Gu Kaiping's tone was a little sour. They thought they had bought enough things before, and they were sought after by the shops in the county town. They thought they had already spent a lot. What is this now?
"The Bai family..." Gu Baijiang squeezed out these two words through gritted teeth. How wonderful...

Seeing his expression, the Gu brothers didn't dare to speak, but they secretly added another mark against Gu Kaiyuan in their hearts.

Back in the village, they learned that Gu Kaiyuan and his team had already started building houses in full swing, and a large batch of bricks and tiles had been delivered before they even returned.

"Your third son is really extravagant. I heard he bought dozens of acres of land, and judging by the scale of the house he's building, it's not small either." Chen Dafu came over to watch the spectacle, but he was covered in mud, so the Gu family father and son quietly moved away, afraid of getting smeared.

Chen Dafu didn't care. His family was poor and could only build their own house. The Chen family didn't support idlers.

Unlike the Gu family, tsk tsk tsk, they bought so much stuff, as if they're afraid others won't know they're not short of money.

"How could he buy land?" Gu Kaichen's voice was somewhat shrill. "Did he bribe the village chief?"

He wouldn't let this go so easily. If he hadn't just returned, he would have turned back into the county town. This matter had to be reported to the authorities.

“I already inquired about this for you,” Chen Dafu said, looking at them with schadenfreude. “I heard that it was bought by Madam Bai, and that she also bought several nearby mountains. From now on, if we need to collect firewood, we can only go to the mountains at the entrance of the village. The area at the end of the village has become their private territory.”

In the past, Chen Dafu was short-sighted and didn't appreciate the good qualities of the merchants.

This isn't the smell of money; it's the luster of gold.

"By the way, I just heard from your clansmen that Gu Kaiyuan is no longer part of your family, and you have adopted him out."

I really don't know what you guys are thinking. Such a huge windfall, and you're not even holding onto it? This guy's going to be a little landlord; his good days are about to begin!"

"Shut up," Gu Baijiang could no longer hold back. This Chen guy was really going too far, actually mocking him to his face.

"You're really ungrateful. I was afraid you didn't know anything, so I came here specifically to inform you. Instead of being grateful, you're just here chuckling."

Lord Gu, I've discovered that your Gu family is truly a hidden force. Putting aside Gu Kaiyuan and his wife, your family is indeed the wealthiest in our area.

"Look at all these people here, you're the one most willing to spend money. If you have any connections to get money, please let us know and help us out."

Chen Dafu suddenly took a step closer and asked in a low voice, "Lord Gu, you're quite skilled at hiding things. Could you teach me a trick?"
