Chapter 720722 Entering the Village

Gu Letian touched the silver in his arms and said, "I have to give it a try. So many refugees poured into the city that day. Anyone who lives nearby should know about it.

Maybe we can get some useful information."

Boss Yu didn't say anything else and patted his shoulder. "Wait a minute, I'll tell Captain Chen that you can't find someone on your own. Maybe you can save some money by going through Captain Chen."

If it were anyone else, Boss Yu wouldn't want to do this, but Gu Letian has helped him a lot over the years, and he would do him no matter what just to have a close assistant in the future.

Gu Letian thanked him quickly. He knew that if Captain Chen came forward, it would be much better than just relying on his luck.

Gu Wenheng and his party walked slowly along the path under the guidance of their master.

Although the weeds on the sides of these roads have been cleared, they are still not very smooth.

They are all pampered officials, so naturally they can't be fast.

On the contrary, Gu Benluo and his companions would run to the mountains whenever they had free time, either to prepare firewood along the way or to chase small prey all over the mountain. This road was too easy for them, and they followed the guards who led the way in front of them, running and jumping, and they had already gone a long way.

"We should be in front, right? It looks like someone is working on the mountain ahead," Gu Leshun followed Gu Benluo and ran to the front.

Gu Benluo, "I saw it too, let's run faster."

The two boys took the lead and rushed to the front, and the guards around them sped up to protect the young master.

"Your body is really enviable," Wu Haicong said breathlessly, "If those boys in my family could be like you, I would have brought them out this time."

Gu Wenheng wiped the sweat off his forehead and stopped to rest. "He's just a naughty boy. He follows his brothers and has no way out. What's there to envy about him?"

"Master Gu, you don't know how our boys have been spoiled by my wife. When they go out, they are accompanied by a bunch of maids and women. They don't look like real men at all.

To be honest, I also came from the countryside, and I really can’t stand those sissy people.”

Gu Wenheng glanced at him. Wu Haicong really went to great lengths to please him, even devaluing his own child.

However, he cannot take it for granted, “Each has its own merits, those who can sit still and have a quieter personality will gain in their studies.

Our child is the same, he has been spoiled by my wife and is naughty all day long."

Hearing them insulting their own children, the officials who followed them kept silent. Nothing they could say would be good at this time.

"We should be at Xinsheng Village ahead," Gu Wenheng turned to ask County Magistrate Kuang. County Magistrate Kuang nodded at the suggestion of his master, "It's not far ahead. Do you want to take a rest first?"

Gu Wenheng pretended not to see it and said, "Let's all stop and rest for a quarter of an hour, otherwise we will all be out of breath when we get there."

He still had to pay attention to his image, not to mention that he was not the only one who couldn't hold on. If it weren't for his image, many adults here would have collapsed on the ground.

As soon as Gu Benluo and Gu Leshun rushed into the village, they found that the place was surrounded by mountains. There were many wooden houses built on the relatively open land in front of them.

Compared with the villages they had seen before, this one was extremely simple.

Gu Benluo blinked and looked at the village. Where were the aunties and grandmas who should have come out to watch as usual? Why didn't he see any of them?

This strange scene made him stop in his tracks, and he even grabbed Gu Leshun who was chasing him, "Brother Leshun, I think there is something strange here."

Where are the elderly and children? I only saw some middle-aged people busy at work.

"Didn't you pay attention to what everyone was talking about before?" Gu Leshun whispered in his ear, "This is a village made up of bandits from the mountains. It is said that these people are very poor and probably can't afford to support bandit wives."

Gu Benluo also said in a voice that the two heard, “I seemed to have heard something vaguely, but I didn’t pay attention to it.

But Brother Leshun, you can’t say this here, they will be very sad if they hear it.”

Gu Leshun continued to whisper in his ear, "I'll just talk to you in private. Let's wait until they all arrive before entering the village."

He didn't take it seriously before, but when he saw the difference between this place and other villages, Gu Leshun also retreated a little. The two brothers carefully leaned against each other, almost amusing the guards who followed them.

Wu Xiaoliu and the others were a little absent-minded on the mountain, but when they saw people coming into the village, they all stopped what they were doing.

"Should we go down?" Boss Yu said, looking at the people at the foot of the mountain. "They won't climb up the mountain, will they?"

Boss Xie, who had just joined the team, put down his tools and gathered around them to watch the fun. "Look at how out of breath they are. I guess we won't be able to do our work for the day once they run to the top of the mountain."

As he spoke, his tone was very disapproving, "We are all pampered men, why don't we go down!"

Boss Yu, "Where is Captain Chen? Why don't we ask him what to do now?"

"I just saw him here, how come he disappeared all of a sudden?" Wu Xiaoliu looked around, "Maybe he went to take care of something urgent. Let's go down and take a look. It would be unreasonable if no one came to greet him."

Anyone who is not stupid knows that this is a rare opportunity to show off. Wu Xiaoliu has already started to brush off the dirt on his body.

"Then let's go down and take a look together. The rest of us can continue working here." Boss Xie immediately took action and threw the tools in his hands to the brothers around him.

Boss Yu naturally had no objection and was about to go down with Gu Letian, but was stopped by Wu Xiaoliu, "We, the bosses, can go down, why are they going down?"

Boss Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Let's find someone to boil water for the guests. Or who of us should go and boil water?"

Wu Xiaoliu, "Then find someone smarter. If we go down stupidly like this and offend our distinguished guests, we won't be able to afford the consequences.

You have seen Lai San beside me, he is quite clever, let him go this time."

It is safer to leave this kind of opportunity to show up to one's own people. If by chance some big boss takes a fancy to him, it will only benefit him as the boss and not harm him.

Boss Yu, "It doesn't take a smart person to boil water. There are quite a few people coming this time, and one person can't handle it all. Let's take them all with us."

Boss Xie on the side also guessed their intention and called his loyal subordinates to follow them down the mountain.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw that there were only two children and the others had not arrived yet. They all showed what they thought were their friendliest smiles and prepared to say hello to the two children first.

But before they could open their mouths, the two children were surrounded by a group of guards.
