Chapter 66 066. Location
Just like in the previous life, the Gu family finally bought an ox cart.

The only difference was that this time, because he didn't have much money, he only bought a medium-sized ox cart, which could only seat six people.

"I spent 75 taels to buy such a rotten car," Liu Yun said with disgust. Thinking that half of her money was in this car, she was not satisfied with anything about it.

"Mom, this ox cart can't accommodate so many people, and I don't want to walk." Gu Antong hugged Liu Yun's arm and acted coquettishly.

"Then what can I do? I was thinking of buying two donkey carts so that I could share them with your uncle. But we were only allowed to buy one, so we had to squeeze in.

But you and your brother must be smart and not let your uncle and his men take advantage of you."

Bai contributed half of the money and took up a position, which she could accept, but the second house didn't contribute anything and was still finding fault, which was a bit too much.

"Mom, you know that Second Aunt is Grandmother's niece. It's impossible for her to be ignored."

"What should we do? If she squeezes in, someone will have to get off. We can't let your grandparents go down, right?"

Gu Antong looked at Bai Suihe, "Hasn't Third Uncle always been the most filial..."

Liu Yun, "Then you all should be smart tomorrow morning. As long as our family doesn't suffer any loss, that's enough."

Bai Suihe didn't know what they were planning, so he bought some small items. They wouldn't have to carry these things in the future, so it wouldn't add to their burden.

Gu Kaiyuan looked back at the Gu family still gathered there, sneered in his heart, and decided to let them be happy for one night first.

Like before, I asked for a single room. This time, the escorts were generous and did not stop me as long as I was willing to pay extra money to book a room.

As for whether these prisoners would escape? That didn't exist at all.

Exile is based on the family unit. Where can the old and the young go?
Besides, if you don’t have a household registration and are caught after running away, you will only be demoted to slavery or directly sent to the army. Only a fool would do such a thing.

It was late at night. Gu Baijiang sat up from the bed, walked around the second family who were sleeping on the floor, and quietly came to the backyard of the inn.

"Master Gu," a thin middle-aged man came out from the corner.

"Lord Ming, I didn't expect that I would ask you to make this trip in person." Seeing that it was Ming Peifeng, the aide to the Third Prince, Gu Baijiang knew that the Third Prince was anxious.

Unfortunately, that is my trump card and I will not give it out easily.

"Master knows that you have been wronged," Ming Peifeng reached out and patted Gu Baijiang's shoulder.

His behavior made Gu Baijiang feel very uncomfortable. Asking him to make a statement was just giving him face, but did he really think he was an important person?

"Well, the master asked me to tell you something. He sees all that Master Gu has done, and he will find a way to clear your name.

It's a pity that he has so many trivial matters that he can't come to see you off in person. I hope you can understand."

Gu Baijiang was touched and bowed in the direction of Shangjing. "Thank you for your concern, Master. Please tell Master Ming that everything is fine here. I am grateful that you have not abandoned me. When I return to Shangjing, I will continue to be loyal to you."

Both sides exchanged some pleasantries, but neither got what they wanted.

Gu Baijiang yawned, "I've been exhausted these past few days. I'm old now and my body can't hold on any longer. I won't accompany you to enjoy the moon here, Master Ming. I'll take my leave now."

"Master Gu, wait a minute," Ming Peifeng was a little annoyed by Gu Baijiang's lack of tact. "You should know why the master asked me to come here."

"Master Ming, since you've made it clear, I'll speak frankly too. That's my last trump card, and I have to find a way out for my large family.

I believe that in addition to the master, several others are also waiting for me on the road. They promised to keep me safe. What do you think, Lord Ming?" "Look, Lord Gu, you are really impatient." Ming Peifeng is an aide after all, and of course he knows that he cannot anger Gu Baijiang at this moment. "The master sent me here to protect your safety along the way.

Don't worry, we will help you clean up those evil spirits.

I just hope that Master Gu can remember his promise and not let the master down."

"Thank you for the reminder, Lord Ming. However, this confiscation of property came so suddenly that I am a little short of silver. I wonder if Lord Ming could take care of it for a while. I will definitely pay you back double later."

Ming Peifeng seemed to be a little unfamiliar with Gu Baijiang in front of him, but after thinking about it, he could understand that anyone who had the courage to do such a big thing was no ordinary person.

Anyway, his main mission this time is to protect this family, so it would be best if he could hand over the things in his hands as soon as possible.

He took out two hundred taels of silver notes from his pocket and handed them to Gu Baijiang reluctantly. "I left in a hurry this time, and the silver I brought with me is limited. Sir Gu, please make do with this for now."

"That's already very good," Gu Baijiang did not complain. After all, these people would follow them all the way and ask them for more when they had used up the money.

Watching Gu Baijiang disappear, two men in black appeared behind Ming Peifeng, "Sir?"

"Don't act rashly. This is an old fox. He won't tell us his location so easily.

Along the way, I reminded my brothers to be more alert and try our best to protect their safety."

There was no way. The silver in Gu Baijiang's hand was too important. The master needed it, and other princes were also eyeing it.

Everyone slept soundly that night. Those who had some financial resources had already made preparations, so tomorrow would not be so difficult.

Look, the whole post station was extremely lively early in the morning. With families forming small groups, everyone was busy packing their things.

Even if the whole family can't squeeze into the car, at least they can walk empty-handed.

But a family as big as Chen Dafu's was so quiet, just like before, without any preparation.

Gu Baijiang took a look and did not go forward to say hello this time.

Instead, he slowly walked to his carriage and put his quilt directly on it.

"Why is there no room here?" Gu Kaiyuan stood beside the carriage, looking unhappy. "We agreed on this yesterday."

"Who told you to come so late?" Xu Huizhen said angrily. "Besides, who do you think should get off this bus?"

Gu Kaiyuan looked at Xu Yulan and Gu Anwei, and the mother and son immediately avoided his gaze.

"You're still an uncle, so what's wrong with taking care of your nephew? An Wei's feet are already worn out. I'll let your second sister-in-law sit up so she can hold him. It's more cost-effective for two people to sit together than for one person."

Xu Huizhen's words received no response, but there was no rebuttal either. Everyone seemed to be tacitly accepting this result.

"Don't forget, this money is still for the Bai family to use." Gu Kaiyuan looked at everyone coldly, "And she is pregnant. Is this the decision of all of you?"

"Okay, Kaiyuan, be a man and don't be so petty," Gu Kaichen said in an elder brotherly manner.
