Chapter 148: Deciding to Go to the Army
Gu Feixue shook her head and patted Old Lady Gu's wrinkled hands:
"Grandma, no matter where the Gu family goes, there's no reason for us to separate!"
Old Mrs. Gu was moved when she heard this, but Gu Lang and Wang Shi nodded firmly.
"Mother, Xue'er is right. We can't separate. If mother stays in Jiangzhou, the villains will definitely not let it go."
"Yes, grandma, I heard that even in the army fighting on the border, there are towns where civilians live in the rear. You and your parents can settle down in the town and wait for good news from your grandson."
"Brother, and me too, I want to go to the front line!"
Hearing this, Gu Tingchuan looked at Gu Feixue. Seeing the determination in her eyes, he could only sigh and say, "Xue'er, I won't stop you from doing what you want to do, but Xue'er, you are a woman..."
Gu Feixue, however, was nonchalant: "Brother, have you forgotten that I can disguise myself? Even my parents couldn't help but come, let alone others. Don't worry, I won't be exposed!"
In the end, the Gu family had no choice but to agree temporarily, but they were thinking in their hearts that when she went to the army, Gu Feixue's master Zheng Yannian might not be willing to let her take risks on the battlefield. Zheng Yannian's words would be more effective than theirs.
In this way, the Gu family made up their mind completely.
Leave Jiangzhou as soon as possible and go to the border town where Zheng Yannian is!
The Gu family's formation mechanism can be described as an iron wall, but everyone in the Gu family knows that such a peaceful life can only last for a few days.
If the mastermind behind the men in black didn't wait for them to return and report, they would know that the Gu family had escaped. Then who knows if they would send more people.
Therefore, the Gu family mobilized all the trustworthy people to handle the aftermath after leaving Jiangzhou.
One of them is the family property. Everything that can be sold will be sold, including the Gu family house.
Gu Feixue originally wanted to dismiss all the workshops with the names of Jinmushuihuotu, Liyirenzhixin, but she did not expect that these people valued friendship and loyalty and were unwilling to disband. They knelt on the ground one by one and called her Master.
Gu Feixue had no choice but to sell the shop that she was originally planning to close to Fang'er of the Mu family and Guangsheng of the Xin family.
The two are the most capable and convincing leaders in the bakery and essential oil workshops respectively.
Gu Feixue swore brotherhood with dozens of people and burned the five-year indenture contract he had signed in an incense burner in front of everyone.
She also told them that if she didn't come back, they should run the bread and essential oil shops well and forget about her as their master.
The shops can be donated. After all, apart from the Bao family, the outside world does not know that these are the Gu family's properties.
But the house has to be sold. Liu Gaoshui has already been here, and if the people in the workshop continue to live here, they will only be in danger.
Fortunately, the wages saved by the ten workshop workers in the past two years were enough to buy several more houses. When the Gu family was looking for buyers for the houses, the workshop workers also jointly invested and bought a two-story house of suitable size near the two shops.
They didn't know why the Gu family suddenly wanted to leave, but the blood-stained appearance of Gu Tingchuan and Gu Feixue that day was still vivid in their minds, so they were not surprised by the Gu family's decision.
Except for the people who worked in the workshop, all the servants in the Gu family's house were paid and laid off, except Luo Li, who refused to leave the Gu family no matter what.
"Ms. Xue'er, please don't chase me away. No matter where the Gu family goes, I, Luo Li, will be loyal to them until my death."
Luo Li was a beggar rescued by Gu Feixue from a few street thugs when the Gu family first came to Jiangzhou.
The other family came to Jiangzhou for refuge but were robbed by bandits. Their relatives had passed away and they had no money left. One of their legs was lame, and they were so disheartened that they had to beg for a living.
Gu Feixue saved this man, but he showed no gratitude and seemed to blame her for meddling in other people's business.
He scolded him a few words, saying that he was in his twenties, in the prime of life, with hands and feet but living as a beggar, and if he wanted to die, he should jump into the river.
After saying that, Gu Feixue drove away in the loaded carriage.
Who would have thought that the next day Luo Li would clean up the place, no longer holding the broken bowl, and limp back to the Gu family, saying that his life was Gu Feixue's.
Gu Feixue originally didn't want to pay attention to it, but she saw that Luo Li was very smart and could even guess the residence of the Gu family from the carriage tracks. She admired his talent and kept him with a cold face.
In the past two years, the other party has been very eager to learn and he can do the work in the workshop as well as others. Naturally, Gu Feixue no longer has the prejudice she had when they first met, and treats him very well. She even cured his lameness with acupuncture.
But now the Gu family is going to the army, and his family's life or death is unknown, so how can he take Luo Li with him?
"You don't have to say anything. The Gu family is on a life-or-death journey. If you follow them, it's like losing most of your life. Staying in Jiangzhou with Fang'er, Guangsheng, and the others, at least you can stay alive."
Gu Feixue didn't want to bring Luo Li with her because the other party had no martial arts skills and following him would be a dead end.
However, Luo Li knelt in the yard, refusing to eat, drink or sleep for two days. It started to rain on the third day, and the old lady finally couldn't bear it anymore and invited Luo Li in.
In the end, the old lady decided to recognize Luo Li as her grandson, and Gu Feixue had no choice but to agree to take Luo Li with her.
Although the Gu family's house was located in a remote area, it had a unique formation. Within two days, it was sold to a security company in Jiangzhou. The company used the Gu family's defense as its base, and the silver it received was 30% more than the original purchase price.
Gu Feixue gladly accepted it, handed over the title deed on the spot, and told the other party that they could move in in ten days.
On the fifth day after the assassination, the Gu family had dismissed all the servants, the people in the workshop and the equipment, and moved to the new house under the cover of night.
During this period, Governor Liu Gaoshui came to visit and found that everyone in the Gu family was injured. Although they looked bad, he did not blame the Gu family for not attending the Luming Banquet.
Liu Gaoshui's arrival made the Gu family speed up their actions.
Before leaving, the Gu family had one most important thing to do.
That is the cooperation with the Bao family.
In the end, Gu Feixue stayed at the Bao family for two hours. When she came out after dark, the farm deed and the contract of sale in her hand were exchanged for one thousand and two taels of silver notes.
Afterwards, Luo Li drove the carriage and the Gu family took advantage of the night and rushed to a forest near the city gate.
In the mountains and forests, Gu Feixue disguised the Gu family members as they were when they entered the city, and used her X-ray vision to observe the movements in the mountains and forests.
Around the carriage, there were killing arrays that Gu Feixue had set up in the past few days. Once someone stepped forward, no matter how high their martial arts skills were, no one would be able to return if they were within a hundred.
The Gu family took turns keeping watch and spent the night safely in the mountains.
It seems that the other party thought that they could sit back and relax by sending forty assassins, otherwise the Gu family would not have been so peaceful in the past few days.
The fact that Liu Gaoshui dared to visit the Gu family shows that he didn't know the truth.
But Gu Feixue doesn’t think that her decision is wrong. Living peacefully now doesn’t mean living peacefully in the future.
If you don't plan for the future, you will have immediate worries.
The next morning, Luo Li, after disguising himself, drove a carriage and took the Gu family across the pass.
The Gu family arrived early, and the officers looked like they were still sleepy.
