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

Bai Suihe and his group did not hide their whereabouts, and the Gu family quickly found out about them.

What the Gu family didn't expect was that the Bai family hadn't settled here. Old Madam Bai had come before, but she had already left.

Gu Baijiang was somewhat disappointed. If they could have met, they could have discussed many things.

"Now that the Bai family isn't here, what do we do?" Gu Kaichen was having a wonderful dream last night, but he didn't expect to wake up so soon.

"What can you do? You decide for yourself." Gu Baijiang said and walked out, with Gu Kaichen quickly following.

"Father, where are we going again?"

"Go find Gu Kaiyuan."

Gu Kaichen, "Dad, are we just going to walk there like this..."

They had already found out the location, but it was quite far away, and they heard that the village was very remote. They just couldn't understand why they would choose such a remote place to settle down when they had such a good life.

“Go rent an oxcart,” Gu Baijiang said. He happened to come across a pastry shop, paused for a moment, then turned around and went in. When he came out, he was carrying two oil paper packages.

"Father, how did you know I was hungry?" Gu Kaichen asked with delight, about to take the food, but Gu Baijiang slapped it away hard.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

"This isn't for you. If you're hungry, go ahead and buy two steamed buns."

"No way, Dad, I've been following you all day, and you won't even give me a little pastry?"

"These pastries are for giving as gifts; we can't just show up empty-handed."

"What does it matter? You're an elder. If you say a word, he'll come and pick you up."

Gu Baijiang glared at him. "Are you mocking me?"

Gu Kaichen quickly waved his hand, "How could I dare? I just felt that you are, after all, an elder, and there was no need for you to fawn over him like this, so why give him face?"

"Alright, you don't need to worry about these things. Just follow along and don't say a word." Gu Baijiang didn't forget to warn, "This time we need their help, and even I have to lower my stance. Don't offend them."

Gu Kaichen, “But…”

"But what? Just listen to me," Gu Baijiang said, exasperated. Not only was he stupid, but he also couldn't understand what was good or bad.

"I know," Gu Kaichen said hastily when he saw his father raise his hand. "I'll do whatever you say, Dad."

The father and son rode in a horse-drawn carriage, swaying and rocking all the way, and finally arrived at the small fishing village.

Seeing this remote fishing village, the father and son felt a little strange. Why would they leave the county town and come to such a remote place? What were they up to?
They had barely reached the village entrance when they were spotted by the guards on patrol. The guards walked over and stopped them, asking, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

“We’re here to find someone,” Gu Baijiang said, his suspicions rising as he looked at his attire. Was it really necessary to be so guarded in a small fishing village?
"Gu Kaiyuan lives here, right? We need to talk to him."

"We're looking for our son-in-law," said one of the guards from the Bai family, sizing up Gu Baijiang. "Who are you people?"

“We are Gu Kaiyuan’s father and brothers,” Gu Baijiang said, sizing up the other party. It seemed that the Bai family treated Bai Suihe quite well, even providing her with guards.

I felt even more remorseful. Why didn't I think it through more carefully back then?
"Are you from the Gu family?" Bai Suihe had already anticipated that the Gu family would try to force their way in, and had given orders that no one from the Gu family should be allowed to pass. "Indeed," Gu Kaichen puffed out his chest, "Go quickly and have your master come out to greet us..."

Gu Baijiang, "..." So all those warnings were for nothing, this idiot...

"I'm sorry, but you can't get through here. Go back to where you came from," the guard said coldly. "The Gu family is not welcome here."

"You need to understand this clearly, Gu Kaiyuan is my third brother. How can he not even see our father?"

"Shut up," Gu Baijiang said with a smile, not wanting to ruin the relationship. "Could you please tell this young man that I, Gu Baijiang, have important matters to discuss and am not here to cause trouble?"

The guards glanced at them suspiciously. They had heard about the Gu family's actions, and since they were now working for the Bai family, they certainly wouldn't help them.

Moreover, this was ordered by the master, and there's a shipyard inside; how could they possibly allow these people to enter?

So he drew his sword and pointed it at them, saying, "If you can't understand human language, then let's try another method."

As they were talking, two more guards appeared beside them, also pointing their swords at them. Even if Gu Baijiang was calm, cold sweat broke out on his forehead when he was being pointed at with swords like that.

Gu Kaichen's previous arrogance vanished, and he even secretly hid behind Gu Baijiang. The old man driving the oxcart was so frightened that he turned the cart around, not even bothering to ask for the fare, climbed onto the oxcart, and drove the ox away at breakneck speed...

By the time Gu Baijiang and the others came to their senses, it was too late to catch up or stop them.

The two men turned around and smiled wryly, "Gentlemen, we really meant no harm."

As Gu Baijiang spoke, he raised the pastries in his hand, "The Bai family has brought forth many descendants for my Gu family. I've come to see my little granddaughter."

The guards didn't believe his story. Their young lady was so lovely; if they really cared, they wouldn't have waited until she was about to speak before these people appeared.

In any case, they were obeying their master's orders. If they were told that these people were not allowed to enter the village, then they were not allowed to enter the village. The group exchanged glances, raised their swords, and took another step forward, making their attitude very clear.

"Dad, what should we do now?" Gu Kaichen could be domineering in front of his family, but he was as cowardly as a dog when dealing with outsiders.

“Never mind, since they misunderstand us, we won’t force it,” Gu Baijiang said, handing the pastry forward. “Please pass this on to my third son. It’s a small token of my appreciation as his grandfather.”

The guards didn't reach out to take it; instead, they all stepped forward in unison, their refusal practically written on their faces.

Gu Baijiang sighed, knowing that he couldn't reason with these people. After all, they were Bai family members, so of course they would stand on Bai Suihe's side. It was possible that Bai Suihe had given the order.

It seems that Bai Suihe and his group already knew that they had also come to this county town, otherwise they wouldn't have had these guards so wary of them.

Gu Baijiang placed the two bags of pastries directly on the ground and tried to drag Gu Kaichen away, but the other party stood still.

"Hey kid, what are you doing? Let's go."

Gu Kaichen's legs trembled, "Father..."

He's made it so obvious, hasn't Dad noticed yet?
It's not that he doesn't want to leave, but that he can't bring himself to do it.

The three guards looked at him with such intent that they wanted to kill him, but they didn't do anything about it.

Gu Baijiang could feel the trembling in his hands, and his contempt for his son grew even stronger… (End of Chapter)
