Chapter 84 084. Entering the mountains
Gu Kaiyuan and Bai Suihe were sitting in the car eating pastries, and they had no idea that the two children of the Gu family had a fever.

The two inevitably talked about the man in black from last night.

"Do you think they'll come again?"

Gu Kaiyuan's lips curled slightly, "If it were those people from last night, there would be no chance.

They are just the masterminds behind this, and I'm afraid they will continue to send people here. They won't give up until they get what they want."

Bai Suihe's pupils shrank slightly, and he saw Gu Kaiyuan nodded slightly, "I have already made preparations. If anything happens, you should stay away. They are not targeting us."

Bai Suihe, "But even if we are not valued, we are still members of the Gu family. Are you sure we won't be implicated even if we are far away?"

Gu Kaiyuan said, "Now that more people know about it, it's no longer a secret, so their current target will only be Minister Gu.

Even at the last moment, I will tell all my secrets to my eldest son."

As long as Gu Baijiang was not dead, they would not be taken seriously. As long as they grasped the right degree, they would not be implicated. Gu Kaiyuan had already made various deductions in his mind.

Just like last night, even the Gu family couldn't say anything wrong with him, and even when others said he was filial, they had to praise him a few words.

Gu Kaiyuan, who has let go of things, now only wants to use the Gu family to enhance his own reputation. It can also be regarded as the final contribution made by the old Gu family to their descendants.

"But where did the old man get the money?" Bai Suihe was even more curious about this.

“The Third Prince can’t just ignore it, we should have contacted him.

But the money he gave me may not be much, I didn’t see him being stingy.”

Gu Kaiyuan looked at Bai Suihe with a half-smile, "Have you forgotten what we did before?"

Bai Suihe felt a little guilty when he thought of the empty Third Prince's Mansion, as he had taken away a lot of things.

Dongmei and Chunxiang wanted to cover their ears. How could girls like them listen to such words?
"Miss, Chunxiang and I want to go downstairs for a walk." Dongmei was really afraid of hearing something she shouldn't hear, so she mustered up the courage to interrupt her masters.

Gu Kaiyuan had no intention of hiding it. "It's okay. If you know some of the things, you will know how to deal with them in the future."

Dongmei and Chunxiang were loyal and could have stayed in Beijing and lived the life of landlords, but they still followed him without hesitation. This showed that he did not regard them as outsiders.

"There will be many dangers along the way. Your main task is to protect your young lady. Try not to worry about anything else.

Especially those people from the Gu family, no matter what they say, don't believe them and don't get involved with them."

Dongmei and Chunxiang looked solemn and nodded seriously, "Son-in-law, don't worry, we will protect the young lady." Even if they had to sacrifice their lives, they would not let the young lady get hurt.

Bai Suihe, "Everyone, relax a little. As long as we follow these escorts closely along the way, there won't be any big problems."

In the past two days, she has been quietly observing these escorts. Although they are a little greedy for money, they are not bad people.

As for the troublemakers in the team, these people only gave them minor punishments and stern warnings, and did not torture them to death.

If you can give them money to help you, they will accept it generously, but if you don't give them money, they will not take the initiative to ask for it.

Furthermore, last night, they immediately came to Gu Baijiang's aid, preventing him from falling into the hands of the men in black. This shows that these people have a sense of responsibility and a sense of self-discipline. "I also think that although Liu Pingkang has various shortcomings, he is a decent person and does things well." This is why Gu Kaiyuan had already made contact with Liu Pingkang.

If you give him enough money and don't provoke him, he won't make things difficult for you along the way, and may even lend a helping hand at some critical moments.

……

The next two days were calm and everyone got used to this rhythm. Whenever we stopped, we took the time to rest and make something to eat.

It’s just that I only bought so much before, and I’ve used up most of it in just one or two days.

Later on, everyone could only take the black steamed buns provided by the escorts and rush to the next post station.

They stopped to rest, and some people wanted to buy something from the nearby farmers' homes, but before they could get close to the people, they closed their doors and would not open them no matter how they called, so everyone gave up.

Chunmei and the others prepared quite a lot of food, but with six mouths to feed, no matter how much food there was, it would run out.

"Let's stop and rest for a while. Masters, come down and rest. Datou and I will drive the ox cart to see if we can go into the city to buy some things." Huang Pingguo counted the items and found that there were only two kilograms of white flour and a little lard, nothing else.

They can starve, but the young lady and the little master in her belly cannot suffer.

Dongmei and the others also meant the same thing. Everyone looked at Bai Suihe, waiting for her to make the decision.

Bai Suihe's space contained all kinds of supplies, but he couldn't take them out. "It's quite far from here to the city. I'm afraid the city gate will be closed when you get there."

Gu Kaiyuan said, "Yes, it's definitely too late to go there now. And even if you buy things, you can't leave the city. I'll go into the mountains later."

Bai Suihe can enter the space to replenish nutrition, but Chunmei and the others will not know.

"Then let's go into the mountains with our son-in-law," Zhuang Datou and Huang Pingguo also said quickly, "the martial arts we learned at the prefecture school should be of some use."

Gu Kaiyuan said, "No need, you guys stay here to protect your lady.

With you guys here, I can feel more at ease."

Bai Suihe knew that Gu Kaiyuan was skilled in martial arts, "Listen to your uncle."

But she turned to Gu Kaiyuan and said, "You can just look around nearby, but you can't go into the deep mountains without permission."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on. I value my life and want to see our baby."

These exiled prisoners were not allowed to have weapons. Since Gu Kaiyuan wanted to go into the mountains, he had to get permission from Liu Pingkang and others, and borrow a knife from them.

"Then go quickly and come back soon," Liu Pingkang readily lent his sword to Gu Kaiyuan. His family was here, so he wasn't worried about him running away. "We're not familiar with the mountains here, and I've heard there are big beasts there, so it's best not to go too deep."

Gu Kaiyuan expressed his gratitude and then left with his sword.

"This Third Master Gu is quite a character. Why haven't we heard of him before?" Guo Baozhu felt a little strange. The eldest and second sons of the Gu family were quite famous in Beijing, but the third son had never been heard of.

"Then what's so strange about this? Civil officials like children who study. Look at this Mr. Gu San, he looks like a chivalrous warrior. It would be strange if he could win the favor of Minister Gu." Ma Zhi put the whip back to his waist and prepared to light the fire first.

"Then Third Master Gu was really born into the wrong family. If he had been born to a military commander, wouldn't he have been favored?"
