Chapter 217: You can’t choose your birth, but you should be respected!
She actually knew best what Gu Yanchen was thinking. Although she said she didn't want to care, the Gu family would still live in Northern Qi in the future and could not stay out of it. It was impossible for them to be easily forgotten.
The matter has been resolved now. They just need to reunite with the team and make sure that nothing bad happens to the big brother.
In order to make the atmosphere less heavy, Gu Yanchen tried to make himself look very relaxed.
"I don't know how my mother and sisters-in-law are doing now. If my eldest sister-in-law saw my eldest brother, she would be so happy!"
Thinking of the scene of her gentle and quiet sister-in-law meeting her elder brother, she felt happy from the bottom of her heart.
"Brother is recovering well now. If everything goes well, I plan to perform surgery on his leg after I settle down in the northwest."
This matter is of utmost importance. The reason why the operation cannot be performed too early is partly because the dangers encountered while passing through Cangzhou are not suitable.
Also, after leaving Cangzhou, the journey for that month was not very smooth. Not only did we have to cross mountains and rivers, but we also had to face extremely cold weather, which was not very friendly to the recovery of injuries.
The injury on Gu Yanzong's leg was also what Gu Yanchen was most worried about. Hearing her words, he couldn't help feeling relieved.
"You've been working hard recently. I don't know how to thank you for your dedication to the Gu family."
"No need to thank me, we are a family, right?"
Ran Qingxuan was driving the car and spoke comfortably and easily.
Her words gave Gu Yanchen enough sense of security. He tightened his palms slightly, as if he had made some kind of decision.
The people who didn't notice drove the car very fast. An hour and a half later, the two actually saw the exile team camping and resting by a river thirty or forty kilometers away from Shuangling City.
It was almost six o'clock and the sky was not yet fully light. The reason why we could recognize it was mainly due to the special-shaped tents in the team.
The two stopped the car and looked from a distance. After Ran Qingxuan looked around, he asked curiously, "Why didn't I see An San and the others along the way?"
Gu Yanchen explained with a smile: "Their duty is just to follow from a distance. If they get too close, they will be too obvious a target."
Ran Qingxuan nodded, and then he took out the walkie-talkie and started calling.
When they heard the intercom ringing, An San was a little surprised, thinking he had heard it wrong. Unexpectedly, after Gu Yanchen's voice appeared clearly, the three of them dared to confirm it.
"How's the team doing these days?"
"Master, rest assured. An Er and An Liu are hiding very well. The officials are not suspicious. If the itinerary remains unchanged, the team will be able to reach Shuangling City tonight or tomorrow morning."
"Keep your distance and remember to hide well."
At this point, Gu Yanchen subconsciously asked: "How is An Yi? Is his injury better?"
After asking, Gu Yanchen waited for a while, and seeing no reply, he looked at the walkie-talkie in his hand with a puzzled look.
"Is the power out?"
After checking, Ran Qingxuan confirmed that there was still enough power, and after thinking for a while, he reminded him.
"Maybe... this is the first time they have experienced being questioned by you as their master..."
Gu Yanchen also reacted and kept wondering if he had been too harsh on them before, so his occasional concern might seem very scary to them.
He rolled his eyes speechlessly and said directly after pressing the intercom.
"Don't just stand there, answer the question!"
The person who answered was An Yi, a man in his thirties, and at this moment one could hear a heavy nasal tone coming from the other end of the intercom.
"Thank you for your concern, Master. I am fine and my injuries have almost recovered."
At this moment, Gu Yanchen didn't know what to say. He was still a little uncomfortable talking to his subordinates in a greeting tone...
Ran Qingxuan saw what he was thinking and took the intercom with a smile.
"As long as you are fine, we will go back after one more day."
"Yes, ma'am."
Putting away the intercom, Ran Qingxuan looked at the man with a look of discomfort on his face and teased.
"I care, so I care. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
"No, I was used to giving orders before, but suddenly I'm a little uncomfortable with this..."
"We'll get used to it slowly. When we go to the northwest in the future, they won't have to worry about protecting us all day long."
"Is that what you think?"
In Gu Yanchen's mind, the existence of secret guards was to ensure his own safety, and he never thought that they would ever see the light of day.
Ran Qingxuan gave him a "how about that" look and spoke to himself.
“Although you are in a master-servant relationship, these secret guards will protect you unconditionally when you are in the most dangerous time.
They cannot choose their own birth, but since they risk their lives to protect you, they should naturally receive minimum respect. ”
As he spoke, Ran Qingxuan paid attention to Gu Yanchen's expression.
"Even if Emperor Mingde is still unwilling to let us go, your secret guards won't have to continue hiding in the dark. People have to live, and who wants to hide in the corner like a rat that can't stand the light!"
Ran Qingxuan is a modern man after all. When he goes out to eat or do things, he tries not to trouble others as much as possible. If he can do it himself, why bother ordering others around?
In ancient times, class divisions were too serious. People had to be served when they ate, when they went out, and even when they went to the toilet. I am your master, so you have to work for me?
Ran Qingxuan sighed slightly, not expecting him to accept his words for a while.
Gu Yanchen had never heard such remarks before. Yes, if his father had not helped these people in the beginning, if he himself was just a country boy, who would protect him, or even die for him in return for the kindness?
Ran Qingxuan's words shocked Gu Yanchen greatly. In fact, he already had a plan in his mind. Once they arrived in the northwest, he would turn those secret guards into visible guards.
But it is easier to dodge an open attack than to guard against a hidden one, so he has to keep something in reserve.
"When everything settles down, maybe they will have their own lives."
Gu Yanchen didn't dare to speak too relaxedly. Ran Qingxuan shrugged, thinking that after all, he was his man, so he should let him make the decision himself.
"Then let's go back first, otherwise I'm afraid we'll run into people on the road when it's daybreak."
"good."
The two of them looked at the team's tent reluctantly, started the car and rushed towards Shuangling City.
The sky was just beginning to turn pale as the two men walked to the city gate.
Just like last time, the two men dressed up a little before entering the city gate and paid a few taels of silver before being allowed in.
The soldier who collected the money looked arrogant and put away the three copper coins on the table with a pout.
Following them into the city were some hawkers pushing carts selling vegetables and charcoal. They paid some money before the shops opened in the early morning. Although they had an expression of unspeakable bitterness on their faces, they paid the money silently.
Not sure whether the Gu family would arrive tonight, Ran Qingxuan thought of the deal with Qi Minghe and decided to go to Baoning Hall after breakfast.
Ran Qingxuan made breakfast himself. Gu Yanchen didn't want to just stand there and watch, so he forcefully sent An Si away and sat by the stove to act as the fireman.
