Chapter Thirty-Eight Fast Road, Uneasy Life
As night fell, a team came out of Ganjiabao. There were six people, all riding fast horses and light chariots. They came out of the market town from the fast passage on the left, and then headed northwest.
This team of people is composed of little carpenters, Qin Rulong, Gan Wenyuan and Gu Chanyi, as well as two servants from Ganjiabao.
They chose Dayuan's fine varieties with excellent endurance and speed, but they were trying to catch up with Gan Wenming and his group who left a day ago.
At the farewell meeting not long ago, the Lord of Ganbao clearly told the little carpenter that they must be responsible for protecting Miss Gu Chanyi's safety.
After all, Gu Chanyi had treated his wife's illness during these days in Ganjiabao. Although he could not recover, he still provided great help and greatly alleviated the condition. If Gu Chanyi had not been in a hurry to go to Turpan, he would definitely be willing to spend a lot of money to let Miss Gu stay and entertain her happily.
In front of the Lord of Ganbao, Gu Chanyi pretended not to know the little carpenter, and bowed to him in a fake manner, as well as Qin Rulong, Gan Wenyuan and others beside him, saying that you should take care of him more.
As a result, as soon as he left Ganjiabao, Gu Chanyi rode over on a horse and walked with the little carpenter.
Qin Rulong, Gan Wenyuan and others saw that they seemed to have something to say, and they all drove their horses to the front with tactfulness.
Seeing that there was no one in front of him, the little carpenter turned his head, looked at Gu Chanyi next to him, and said, "Do you really have something to go to Turpan, or..."
Gu Chanyi grew up in the Xichuan Basin with a warm climate. Zhong Ling has beautiful water, white and tender skin, like cow's milk, completely different from the women in the northwest. The outline on the side is also very beautiful. She is indeed a beauty from the Daxue Mountains.
At this moment, she heard the little carpenter's words, and she smiled and said, "Do you think I just asked for it to follow you?"
The little carpenter said, "I don't have such confidence, I just think something happened."
Gu Chanyi snorted coldly: "It's good that you have this self-knowledge--The Daxue Mountain lineage has a Kunlun medicinal supplier in Turpan. I have been preparing to go over and talk about it, but because the condition of the castle master's wife has been delayed, and I have time until today..."
The little carpenter nodded and said nothing.
Gu Chanyi looked at the little carpenter next to her who was riding a tall horse and dressed in a northwest swordsman's outfit, and couldn't help but say, "Don't think that if you return to Ganjiabao and recognize your ancestors, I will like you - just like you, let alone whether you can make a name for yourself in Ganjiabao, even if you are alive, I will be in trouble. If you play, you will be killed by others..."
The little carpenter didn't expect that she would say such words and asked, "Do you want to die? What does it mean?"
Gu Chanyi said, "I have been staying next to the wife of the castle lord. I dare not say that I know everything, but I know something big and small happening these days - I heard that the old castle lord who was obsessed with Ganjiabao was let go, and it was related to you?"
The little carpenter couldn't help but take a breath and said, "You know this, too?"
When Gu Chanyi saw the little carpenter's shocked expression, she couldn't help but feel proud and said that it was of course.
The little carpenter said, "This matter has nothing to do with me."
Gu Chanyi snorted and said that it had nothing to do with you, and would you send you away from home?
The little carpenter said, "The lord of the fortress is for my own good and just let me avoid the limelight and come back when the matter is over."
Gu Chanyi smiled and said, "Is that so? Let me tell you that the people in Ma Jiaji intend to marry Ganjiabao. They originally talked about Miss Ma and Ganyuan's son Ganyuan, but the matter was stuck when they arrived at Miss Ma's. Miss Ma replied, saying it was meaningless to Ganyuan. Later, the wives of Ganjiabao were indirectly attacked and realized that Miss Ma seemed to have some interest in you - Ganyuan's master kicked you out, just to let you avoid this limelight..."
The little carpenter was shocked and disbelief: "Really?"
Gu Chanyi said coldly: "I didn't expect you, a bastard, you are really good at seducing women, hum..."
The little carpenter couldn't help but say seriously: "Miss Gu, although we had some misunderstandings before, is it a bit too much for you to say that to me? Now it's the Republic of China, and you and I are both new youths of the times. There is no need to have the feudal dregs of their parents' orders, right? Besides, I have only met you and I am not very familiar with you, right? Isn't it a bit rude to evaluate me so rashly..."
The little carpenter has never read any books or entered the school, but this does not mean that he is a rustic man.
On the contrary, since he met Qu Menghu again and the little star opened a window to him, his entire vision has become extremely broad.
Through interactions with Qu Menghu and later learning with many big guys, he gradually formed a complete worldview and had a lot of deep understanding of new ideas and trends at home and abroad.
At this moment, he used it as a weapon to deal with Gu Chanyi, which made the proud and sought after the young lady who was naturally proud and sought after him, and he also looked at him with some admiration.
This lowly coolie like a country bumpkin knows so many things?
What's going on?
The two of them had a bad conversation and parted. The little carpenter rode a horse forward, no longer caring about Gu Chanyi, but fell into thinking.
In fact, even outsiders can see that Gu Chanyi’s arrangement is of purpose, so how could he not understand?
At the beginning, the little carpenter was indeed a little moved by the words of the Lord Ganbao, but then he couldn't help but think of more - after all, a lord of the Lord Ganjiabao who was calm and arranged to monitor him. If it was really as warm and pure as he said, he would probably not be able to sit in that position long ago.
In fact, the Lord Ganbao asked him to leave not just because of the Ma family's marriage.
The little carpenter thought more about fishing law enforcement.
What made him guess like this was that Qin Rulong was also inexplicably stuffed in.
When he packed his things and left his residence, he heard the quarrel between his elder aunt and son next door. Before and after contacting him, the little carpenter suddenly guessed that the key to the water prison was likely to be taken away briefly in the middle of the journey.
And that person is most likely to be his aunt's son, his cousin Qin Rulong.
Even the Fire Phoenix left him and went to Qin Rulong's place...
Of course, these are just speculations.
But he could think that there was no reason why the Lord Ganbao could not have thought of it. Since the Lord Ganbao arranged for Qin Rulong to come over, it was impossible not to arrange for someone to stare at them.
If this is the case, then every move in the team is likely to fall under the control of the Lord of Ganbao.
Anyone, once something happens to change, will be exposed clearly...
Thinking of this, the little carpenter knew that he had to be more cautious, just like before in Ganjiabao.
Only in this way can he survive this crisis smoothly as before.
The group rushed to a night and arrived at a station controlled by Ganjiabao in the morning the next day. Gan Wenyuan found the person in charge of the station to inquire and learned that at noon yesterday, Gan Wenming and his group fell here, rested for about an hour and left.
Although Gan Wenyuan was not good at the little carpenter, he was the leader of the Ganbao Lord to do his duty. He summoned everyone to study the route, and then proposed to take a break and set off immediately to catch up with the front team.
He is not old, but he is a veteran who has been traveling through trade routes all year round. He explained it on the hand-drawn map and then asked the little carpenter: "Do you have any questions?"
When the little carpenter heard this stiff question, he smiled gently and said I was fine.
Then Gan Wenyuan looked at Gu Chanyi next to him again.
Although Gu Chanyi is a woman, the practitioner has a strong physique, so it is naturally not a problem.
Gan Wenyuan nodded, put away the map, and then asked the person in charge of the inn to get supplies. After feeding the horses, he ate them briefly, and then continued on the way.
He did not ask Qin Rulong for his opinion throughout the whole process, as if the other party was transparent.
The little carpenter discovered that Qin Rulong, who was originally open-minded and cheerful, rarely quiet all the way and hardly spoke much. No matter whether he was to Gan Wenyuan or others, he didn't say a few words.
The little carpenter also saw a little resentment and grievance in Qin Rulong's eyes from time to time.
What the hell is going on?
Could it be that the old castle lord's escape from the water prison really has nothing to do with him?
Or is he pretending to behave here?
The little carpenter didn't know that after he took the initiative to communicate with Qin Rulong several times, he didn't get a positive response, so he didn't say much.
After traveling for another day, there was almost no rest, but the horses changed a group at the market controlled by Ganjiabao, and finally found some traces of the team ahead near a grassland.
After checking the pile of horse manure on the ground, Gan Wenyuan looked at the canyon in the distance and said, "We have to hurry up. After about an hour, we can cross the canyon and catch up with them at the wild donkey slope in the other side of the canyon..."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Gu Chanyi, who was covered in fatigue on his face and said, "Doctor Gu, how about you? Can you hold on?"
Gan Wenyuan had no good expression to both the little carpenter and Qin Rulong, but he was very polite to this beautiful young female doctor, and his attitude was far beyond ordinary emotions.
But thinking about it is, "a beautiful lady, a gentleman is a good match." Most young men can't help but want to get close to beautiful women like Gu Chanyi. Although Gan Wenyuan is not the home of Ganjiabao, since he is called the leader of the younger generation by the Ganbao master, he also has strong confidence.
However, Gu Chanyi posed in front of him with a high posture, kind and easy-going attitude, but she remained distant enough to show that she could, and then she didn't say anything.
The group continued to chase and then entered the canyon.
Gan Wenyuan was whipping forward and was almost turning out of the canyon, but he suddenly shouted loudly.
Immediately afterwards, the little carpenter rode a horse and turned the bend, but saw many corpses and horses scattered on the ground not far away.
Here, there has obviously been a big war, and no one has cleaned up yet...
At this moment, Gan Wenyuan turned over and dismounted, put his ear on the ground, then he pulled out his saber and shouted loudly: "Note, someone is here."
