Farming and reading lady
Chapter 22: Thrills Along the Way
Gu Liqi imagined the scene of having his legs broken by his father, and immediately calmed down. He still wanted to live a romantic life with his wife.
No matter how reluctant their family members were, the brother and sister still followed Master Tong.
Tong's family also took good care of them along the way. Although they formally became Tong Mingyan's apprentices, they had been studying with Tong for these years, so the teacher-student relationship was even stronger. The group was walking on the official road, stopping and starting, and not in a hurry to get on the road. Tong also had some ideas about taking students on a study tour. When he saw a beautiful scenery or a famous temple, he would stop and take them to play. The brother and sister were not short of money, at least not a small amount. After selling the three-year-old preserved eggs at home, their family was not rich, but they were definitely out of poverty.
Everyone thought that they would be able to reach the capital safely, but an accident happened.
As the carriages were moving forward unsteadily, the escorts suddenly shouted, "What do you want to do by blocking the road?"
"Is there anyone with the surname Gu in your car?" a deep voice asked coldly.
"My employer's surname is Tong. You must have found the wrong person." If the problem can be solved properly, who would want to use a knife? The escort also slowed down his tone.
The Gu family siblings in the car looked at each other and saw in each other's eyes: No way? The troublemaker showed up so soon? It shouldn't be to the point of killing people to silence them, right? What I learned from the old man was not that serious, right?
Gu Xihao reached out and held his sister's hand. Both of their hands were cold. They were powerless. Oh my god, she was not a heroine who traveled through time. She would not have such a magical treatment of being hunted down? Gu Xixian had already worshipped all the gods in his heart.
"Whether there is or not, we'll know after we see it. Please open the car curtains." Gu Xixian lifted the car curtains as he was told and peered forward. There were a dozen aloof "heroes" in white clothes and holding long swords blocking the road. Really, he confirmed it again in his mind, those handsome and elegant uncles with white clothes fluttering in the wind, did not have any bandit-like feeling, nor were they as cold as killers. They just had a bit of aloofness.
Master Tong was not a pedantic person. He was very flexible and naturally lifted the curtain very early. However, he was very anxious. The incident happened suddenly and he did not have a chance to inform the two children. Now he could only hope that the two children would be smart and not admit that their surname was Gu.
With the leader's big hand wave, more than a dozen people came to a carriage and carefully checked each person. Gu Xixian's horse came forward and the cold man looked at the two people: "What are your names?"
"My name is Zhen Meili, and he is Hao Yingjun." Gu Xixian bit his tongue deliberately and spoke unclearly.
"Are you not brother and sister?" Their ages seemed to be similar to what the boss said. But their names were totally different, and they looked too ugly. Could it be that their parents gave them two completely opposite names to comfort them because they were too ugly?
"Yes, uncle, how did you know? You are so smart." Gu Xixian clapped his hands exaggeratedly, looking innocent and silly.
It turned out that this person had spoken out what was in his mind. He couldn't help but look at the two of them again. My God, this big mouth, these small eyes, this appearance, it's really... it's hard to describe.
At this time, Master Tong also came over with another person to identify them: "Who is this person of yours?"
"Hehe, Master, Master, come and see, there is a handsome uncle here who is amazing. As soon as I mentioned Zhen Meili and Hao Yingjun, he was able to guess why our parents gave us these names. He is so amazing?" Mrs. Tong looked at it intently, and suddenly felt dizzy and almost fainted. How did he do this? How did he get such an ugly appearance? He was scared to death, okay?
"Who are these two to you?" The white-robed leader who had appointed him spoke again. Master Tong covered his face with his sleeves and said with great disgust, "It's hard to explain, it's hard to explain... These two are also my students. Their parents asked me to bring them out to broaden their horizons."
"They are here to let others broaden their horizons, right?" The man in white who was there originally muttered. Or maybe they are here to scare people?
“Haha, haha…” Master Tong laughed awkwardly: “Excuse me, excuse me, I hope this knight can see through it without revealing it.”
"You are Tong Mingyan's cousin, right?" the leader in white suddenly said.
Master Tong nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, this knight knows my brother Yan?"
The leader in white did not answer him, but asked again: "I heard that he accepted two disciples named Gu and asked you to take them to the capital this time."
"What the knight said is correct. This was originally the plan, but the Gu family was worried about letting the two children go to such a far place, so they decided to wait for a while and let Gu Gusan and his wife personally send the two children to the capital." Master Tong seemed a little regretful and said, "The Gu family is too doting on their children, but they don't think that the young eagle must learn to fly on its own."
The leader in white sneered in his heart, what young eagles, they are all cowards, how many years have passed, and they have been hiding in that small ravine without coming out, what can they achieve, I really don't know why the head of the family is always worried about them. He did not doubt Master Tong's words at all, in his opinion, it is normal for parents to be reluctant to let their children go away alone, and he did not think Master Tong had any need to lie, the Gu family would not publicize this matter of their family.
A dozen people looked at each other and shook their heads to indicate that they had not noticed anything. Just like when they came, they disappeared in a few flashes. The escorts all breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, in the eyes of those people, their team was like a weak chicken, with no resistance. Fortunately, they escaped without any danger.
Master Tong also wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was really worried. When he heard that these people were coming to target the Gu family, he had never heard that the Gu family had offended anyone. Could it be that they had developed too fast in the past few years and offended some important person? It was possible. Those people were not from a simple family. This was the tragedy of having no backing. However, these two children... were really too smart. I don't know where the materials for face painting came from? Could it be that the Gu family had anticipated this? It seems that I still need to have a good talk with Brother Yan about this matter.
The Gu siblings who lowered the curtain at the back had already sweaty palms. Gu Xixian sat down on the bench and sighed, "Oh my god, I'm so scared. I'm afraid my life will be over. Brother, do you think the old man has anything else to tell us?"
If she really thought so and listened to the old man, there would be no possibility that she would be hunted down by Ren.
Gu Xihao also sat beside her exhaustedly: "Maybe there are some things that even the old man doesn't know?"
But both of them felt that this reason was not valid. As the only true descendant, how could they only know half of the story? The old man must be hiding something.
