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

Bai Suihe thought for a moment and then asked, "Can you speak their language?"

Gu Kaiyuan frowned. "If they only know a few simple ones, you can tell they're swearing."

Bai Suihe looked at him expectantly, "Tell me."

Gu Kaiyuan was somewhat reluctant, "This isn't good, it sounds rather unpleasant."

Why would a perfectly respectable person like Rong Chao utter such disgusting words?

"I just want to know how they swear," Bai Suihe said, utterly speechless. If you shouldn't insist on something, then don't insist on it.

Gu Kaiyuan sighed helplessly, pursed his lips, and muttered under his breath, "Stingy..."

"Alright, I got it," Bai Suihe said, now it was confirmed that this kind of species was disliked no matter which plane it was in.

“I was just speculating before, but now it’s confirmed. We can help them with this grudge, but I hope they can participate when the time comes.”

Bai Suihe said that it was best to take revenge herself. After thinking for a moment, Bai Suihe added, "These children are becoming more sensible. You can talk to them yourself later. If they are willing, we can provide assistance."

Even if they don't have the talent for martial arts, we can still teach them some killing techniques.

Gu Kaiyuan said, "Actually, it's not necessary. Yunni has left many people there, and he will train them well."

These were all people he had painstakingly recruited and trained. He would be heartbroken to lose even one of them when facing those vicious Japanese bandits.

As for those Japanese pirates, the emperor will send troops anyway, so he can just follow behind and finish them off. Wouldn't that be easier?

Anyway, he didn't know who would ultimately sit on the throne, but that didn't affect his dislike for the Rong family.

In his previous life, he had to accumulate power in order to have a chance to confront the Gu family and Rong Ruiyuan. He had no choice but to risk his life for military merit. But in this life, he was unwilling to do that. It was too strenuous and thankless, and he wasn't stupid.

Fearing Bai Suihe might misunderstand, he quickly explained it to him in detail. Bai Suihe also thought it made sense; it wasn't easy to be the first to stick one's neck out.

Anyway, once the emperor has pacified Lingnan, he will face those Japanese pirates. Let them test their skills first, while we focus on developing our own territory.

Granny Pang was also very happy to see these children. Gu Kaiyuan and the others had unwittingly rescued these children, otherwise, with their tiny size, they would have no way to support themselves.

These dozen or so children are easy to teach, so we simply put them together and let Bai Suihe set aside time for them to learn various kinds of knowledge.

Gu Kaiyuan's eyes lit up. This was great! Everyone could learn to read together, and then we could provide additional instruction based on their talents and interests. This would save us from many detours.

Right now, write down all these methods and send them to Yunni, along with this month's supplies.

After seeing these things, Yunni couldn't help but rub his temples. Gu Kaiyuan really knew how to cause him trouble.

We agreed to train some guards for him, but now he has to learn all this stuff? He's a wandering knight, not a top scholar.

“Go back and tell your master that I can’t do these things. I haven’t even learned many characters yet.”

Lin Wei, who had been sent out on business, quickly pulled over an old man behind him and said, “My master has made all the arrangements. This is Scholar Tong. He can teach us for one or two hours every day.”

Yunni looked Tong Xiucai up and down. "He's a Xiucai?"

He looks like an old villager. Could Gu Kaiyuan have been scammed?
“Indeed,” the old man said, puffing out his chest and stepping forward. “I hope this brave man will give me your guidance in the future.”

Before he arrived, his employer had told him what he was to do. He had only passed the imperial examination two years ago, but his family could only afford to send him to school with a few acres of fertile land. His family was small, so he had to work in the fields and help copy books in his spare time to earn his own money for writing materials. Finally, his hard work paid off and he achieved academic success.

But now that he's getting old, he's afraid that even if he continues to work hard for another ten years or so, he might not be able to pass the imperial examination. So he's been sending out invitations everywhere, hoping to find a job.

Previously, he had also taught the young master at the county magistrate's residence, and the treatment was quite good.

But who knew that the county magistrate would get into trouble, lose his family, and lose his job.

If he were to simply live off his small plot of land, he could make a living. But his youngest son is gifted in his studies, and the entire family's hopes rest on him. If he doesn't go out and earn some money, how can he support his son's education?

Upon hearing that someone else wanted to hire him, he readily agreed, even disregarding the difficult conditions the other party mentioned.

Who knew that he would be led through a maze of twists and turns to this remote place? At first, he was wondering if he had offended someone and was planning to find a secluded corner to kill him and silence him.

Now, hearing their conversation, I realize that I had been overthinking things.

It doesn't matter where you teach, as long as you pay enough money.

They said it only takes a few hours each day to teach children to read, so it's even simpler; any student could do that job.

“Then come with me,” Yunni led the person to the backyard, where dozens of children were waving their fists and practicing their moves in a very professional manner.

"Why are there so many children?" Tong Xiucai's expression changed. Had he accidentally stumbled upon something?

Yunni glanced at him and said, "These are all orphans kindly adopted by the Gu family of Zhang County. They are all children left behind by those Japanese bandits."

We're paying you to come and teach them to read and write appropriately, and to ask as few questions as possible that they shouldn't."

Tong Xiucai was literate and knew about these scourges of Lingnan. Now that the emperor had sent people to guard the area, he believed that the good days for those Japanese pirates would not last long.

"But you've taught so many orphans to read and to practice martial arts. What are you trying to achieve?"

"Of course, we want them to have the skills to make a living. In the future, they can be guards or do things for their masters." Yunni has always looked down on these bookworms who talk about classical Chinese all day long and spout a lot of grand principles, but they still bow down for a mere five pecks of rice.

"If we don't work hard, do you think food will fall from the sky?"

Scholar Tong said, "But with so many orphans, according to the law, we should inform the authorities..."

"And then what? The government registers them and sends them all to the dilapidated temple. From then on, they have to beg for a living, or they are sold to those dark places and never see the light of day again."

Yunni distrusts the government the least; otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed so readily after Gu Kaiyuan explained it.

If they had good conditions or a stable family, who would want to wander around?

So his willingness to help Gu Kaiyuan was also a way of helping these children.

Gu Kaiyuan is developing his business here now, and he will definitely be short of people in the future. The first batch of loyal followers will have a bright future.

Tong Xiucai stopped talking. Of course, he knew some of the dark side of the place. Many helpless girls would end up in that filthy place.

And many of these young boys will also enter those dark mines... (End of Chapter)
