Rebirth: Mr. Fu will not cancel the engagement this time

Since Gu Jinhe had already agreed to go with Qi Hui and the others, Gu Jinrong knew that it would be useless no matter how much he said.

When Fu Huaiyuan found out about this, no one knew what he said to Qi Hui. It was not until the next day when they went into the mountains that Gu Jinhe realized that there was one more person in the group.

Fu Huaiyuan was originally the leader of this encirclement and suppression operation. He should have stayed in the rear to stabilize people's morale instead of standing out and charging into battle at the very beginning.

Even though the children of noble families tried their best to dissuade him, it did not shake Fu Huaiyuan's decision.

Fu Huaiyuan temporarily handed over the task of leading the team to Wu Lu. Fortunately, a plan had been made beforehand, so Fu Huaiyuan didn't have to stay behind all the time.

Gu Jinhe waved goodbye to Gu Jinrong who was looking at him worriedly, and then he and Fu Huaiyuan followed Qi Hui and the others up the mountain.

The people from the seven major families who stayed behind stayed where they were, waiting for notification from Qi Hui and his group.

Qi Hui and his men went up the mountain first, to put it bluntly, to prevent the Murong family from setting a trap in the mountains.

After all, the Murong family has lived in this mountain for hundreds of years, and no one knows this mountain better than them.

It was easy for them to set traps in the mountains.

This mountain is very big, even bigger than the previous mountain where the arms and explosives factory was built.

The dew in the grass in the early morning soaked the surface of the leather boots, and dew occasionally dripped from the leaves above, hitting people's heads, faces, and shoulders. As long as it was not a reptile like a snake, it could not stop Qi Hui and his men.

Gu Jinhe's backpack was held in Fu Huaiyuan's hand. The two walked together, their eyes fixed on the path between the woods ahead. They occasionally spoke a few words and discussed some trees they saw along the way that they had never seen outside.

Qi Hui and the others were silent the entire time. Apart from explaining some things to Gu Jinhe before going up the mountain, they hadn't spoken a word since entering the mountain.

Their attention was focused in all directions. At this time, they had not yet entered the depths of the mountains and could hardly see any wild animals along the way.

Maybe it’s because we haven’t entered the deep mountains yet, although there are many trees, they are not very thick.

The sun was rising higher and higher above our heads, and people walking under the trees could clearly feel that the heat in the air was getting stronger as they got farther away from the foot of the mountain.

Besides the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, there was also the call of an unknown bird coming from some unknown tree.

The fallen leaves on the ground make almost no sound when you step on them, because the further you go in, the wetter the ground becomes, and even if the leaves fall to the ground, they will only be mixed with the soil.

Some wild mushrooms can be seen among the grass, scattered in clusters on the muddy ground.

Gu Jinhe avoided a spider web and looked up at the unclear bushes in front of him. The distance was filled with thick fog, and his vision was obstructed and he could not see clearly.

After walking for about two hours, the group gradually went deeper into the mountains. From the trees that were getting older, thicker and taller, they could clearly imagine that in the deep mountains that were not clearly visible in the distance, the trees would only become thicker and taller.

There was lush foliage above my head, and on the way I came across a tree of unknown species. Its leaves were surprisingly large, dark red in color, shaped like duck feet, and seemed to have a strange fragrance.

"Rest where you are."

Qi Hui, who was walking in front, suddenly raised his hand and clenched his fist, and spoke his first words after entering the mountain.

Qi Hui brought a lot of people into the mountains this time, more than twice as many as the last time he searched for the arms and explosives factory.

Except for Fu Huaiyuan and Gu Jinhe who stood where they were, after hearing Qi Hui's order, some people were left in the outer circle to observe the surrounding environment, while the rest found a place to sit on the ground.

Some found clean tree trunks to lean against, while others lay directly on the ground. Even when they were resting, they did not close their eyes and held their guns tightly in their hands.

Gu Jinhe believed that if anything unexpected happened, these people would immediately take defensive and attacking postures.

At this time, Fu Huaiyuan found a relatively clean place nearby. After the two sat down, Fu Huaiyuan took out a bottle of water from his bag and handed it to Gu Jinhe.

Gu Jinhe wanted to say that she was not thirsty, but when she met Fu Huaiyuan's deep eyes, Gu Jinhe raised her hand and took the water.

After watching Gu Jinhe drink a few sips of water, Fu Huaiyuan withdrew his gaze.

Climbing the mountain is a very strenuous task, and you need to replenish water in time. There is methane in some places in the mountains, so everyone has a gas mask in their backpack.

"It will probably take another three or four hours to reach the halfway point of the mountain." Fu Huaiyuan said after taking the water from Gu Jinhe's hand and drinking a few sips himself.

They walked for nearly three hours and only reached halfway up the mountain.

Gu Jinhe felt that he had found the reason why the Murong family kept a low profile.

It’s such a long distance, no wonder the people in Murong family stay in the old house and seldom go out. It takes a whole day to go up and down the mountain for such a long distance.

Gu Jinhe glanced at Qi Hui who seemed to be resting with his eyes closed not far away, approached Fu Huaiyuan and asked in a low voice: "Did Qi Hui tell you his plan?"

Before going up the mountain, apart from reminding Gu Jinhe not to get lost and not to act rashly, he really didn't say anything important.

Gu Jinhe didn’t know what Qi Hui’s plan was. No one knew how many people were in the Murong family’s old house, nor did they know if the people they brought with them could escape unscathed if they encountered an enemy.

Fu Huaiyuan spoke in a low voice with an indifferent expression on his face: "I can guess a little bit. In addition to exploring the way, they also want to know the real strength of the Murong family."

Gu Jinhe: "What about the other parts?"

Fu Huaiyuan asked Gu Jinhe in return: "What are their responsibilities?"

Gu Jinhe pondered: "Protect the country, protect the land, and protect the people?"

Fu Huaiyuan looked at Gu Jinhe without saying anything.

Gu Jinhe suddenly understood, and a sense of respect arose in her heart.

If nothing else, just the fact that they can stick to this responsibility and put their own safety aside is enough to deserve respect and admiration.

"Yang Xiu seems to be paying special attention to you?" Fu Huaiyuan suddenly said.

Gu Jinhe: "Murong Qingxuan is in my hands, how could she not pay attention to me?"

Fu Huaiyuan said: "If that's all, she shouldn't treat you like this."

Resentful and forbearing, something must have happened, otherwise Yang Xiu would not be unable to control the emotions in his eyes in front of others.

It turned out that the resentment that flashed in Yang Xiu's eyes when he looked at Gu Jinhe was seen by Fu Huaiyuan, so he went over when Gu Jinhe was talking to Yang Xiu.

Gu Jinhe told everyone that Yang Xiu had come to threaten her.

Fu Huaiyuan tilted his head to look at Gu Jinhe and asked in a gentle voice: "What did you do to Murong Qingxuan?"

Gu Jinhe: "I didn't do anything, I just made sure he couldn't hold chopsticks anymore."

Fu Huaiyuan thought to himself, no wonder Yang Xiu hated Gu Jinhe so much. Not only did his only son have disabled limbs, but now he even had no fingers. Anyone who saw him would resent him.
