Gu Xiaojia was driving very fast, so Hao Guozi had no choice but to chase desperately. Fortunately, Gu Xiaojia changed the horses of Tao Mo's carriage, and now the three horses are very handsome, so they are not behind.
It was time for lunch when we arrived at Tianchang, as usual, Lao Tao accompanied the son and young master to eat, and Gu Xiaojia and Hao Guozi sat at the same table.
Gu Xiaojia ate some indiscriminately, and went back to the room.
Hao Guozi saw that he had only eaten a little, so he took the food to his room.
As expected, Gu Xiaojia was talking to a shopkeeper with a ledger in his hand.
Seeing Hao Guozi bring the rice, Gu Xiaojia just said, "You eat first."
It took a long time for Hao Guozi to finish eating before Gu Xiaojia sent the shopkeeper away and came over for dinner.
Hao Guozi said sympathetically, "Brother Jia, you have worked so hard."
Gu Xiaojia didn't take it seriously: "What's the matter?"
"Your son doesn't care about anything, and there are not many people around you. You have to worry about everything big and small, inside and outside. Unlike my young master, although there are only Lao Tao and me around, I only need to take care of the young master's daily life. Okay. Besides, your young master has a bad temper, but my young master is very gentle."
Gu Xiaojia raised his face from the bowl and snorted: "Even if your young master wants you to worry more, what would you do?"
"Who said that?" Hao Guozi jumped up, but he couldn't say more, because he really didn't know anything.
Continue to set off after taking a nap, this time to arrive at Xuyi before dark.
Xuyi is more than a hundred miles away from Tianchang, and after the exhaustion of boats and horses, Gu Xiaojia continued to manage his son's carriage and horse shop.
It wasn't until Gu Xiaojia sent the shopkeeper of Xuyi away that he realized that Hao Guozi didn't come to him today.
He went to Tao Mo's room to look for it, but Hao Guozi was neither hot nor cold, so he had to come out and wait in the corridor. When the lights in Tao Mo's room were turned off, Hao Guozi didn't come out either.
He vaguely felt that Hao Guozi was angry when he said that Hao Guozi knew nothing at noon.
But since Tao Mo had already gone to bed, it was inconvenient for him to call Hao Guozi again.
Tossed and turned all night.
He wondered if he should apologize at dawn? But I still feel like I can't hold back this face.
Half asleep and half awake until dawn, I had to continue on my way.
Tao Mo was careful, seeing his dark circles, he said he might as well leave later.
But the carriage had already been set up, and it would be troublesome to unload it, so Gu Xiaojia declined Tao Mo's kindness.
After getting into the car, Gu She asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Tao Mo nodded: "Although I just sat in the carriage and didn't take a step, I was actually quite tired. I fell asleep as soon as I hit the pillow last night."
Gu She smiled: "Don't you think I won't let you serve me?"
Tao Mo blushed: "You told me with the sound of the piano."
Gu She put his arms around his shoulders, and the two of them leaned their heads together.
Arriving in Sizhou at noon, Tao Mo saw that Gu Xiaojia ate two mouthfuls and then went upstairs with a man who looked like a shopkeeper, so he asked Hao Guozi to set aside some food for Gu Xiaojia to keep.
After Hao Guozi finished eating, but Gu Xiaojia hadn't come down yet, Tao Mo asked Hao Guozi to deliver it to Gu Xiaojia.
Hao Guozi reluctantly went upstairs with the bowl, but soon came down empty-handed.
When we arrived in Suqian in the evening, Tao Mo asked Hao Guozi to deliver food to Gu Xiaojia.
Hao Guozi still sent it and came back.
Tao Mo was puzzled, and while Gu Xiaojia and Hao Guozi were away busy, he quietly asked Gu She: "Why do I feel that Brother Xiaojia and Guozi seem to be at odds?"
Gu She didn't take it seriously: "You still call him Brother Jia?"
Tao Mo was startled: "I'm used to it."
"You will be his master in the future, I'm afraid he won't be happy if you call him that again."
Tao Mo tugged at his hand and shook it wildly: "We'll talk about what's going on in the future, but tell me what happened to them first?"
Gu She still didn't take it seriously: "It doesn't bother us to serve us, what do you care about him?"
Gu She's words became a prophecy.
The next day we set off for Xuzhou, because there was no Gu She's carriage and horse shop on the way from Suqian to Xuzhou, so yesterday Gu Xiaojia asked the kitchen to make some buns as dry food in the morning.
He drove the car to the entrance of the inn, and went to the kitchen to get the buns for dry food. He never thought that because he didn't sleep well, he fell a dog's shit on the threshold of the inn when he came out, and the buns were all scattered on the ground.
If it is packaged in the inn, it must be too late. First of all, there is no ready-made noodles. And Xuzhou is more than 200 miles away from Suqian, so they are not allowed to wait here.
Gu She's face darkened, and he was about to explode when Tao Mo grabbed him: "Xian Zhi."
Gu She saw that Tao Mo was pitiful, as if he was the one who was about to be punished, and immediately couldn't bear it, so he swallowed his breath and threw the curtain of the car.
Hao Guozi jumped off the shaft of the car, and was about to come to help him, but unexpectedly, although Lao Tao was a generation older than him, he was quicker in his hands and feet, and had already jumped off the horse to help Gu Xiaojia up. He had no choice but to go back to Tao Mo's carriage.
Seeing blood oozing from Gu Xiaojia's elbow from a distance, he hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to do, when he saw Lao Tao take out the wound medicine from his arms and apply it on Gu Xiaojia.
After Gu Xiaojia bandaged his elbow, Lao Tao told him to take a carriage. Gu Xiaojia glanced at the two carriages, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards Hao Guozi.
Hao Guozi stepped aside uncomfortably and let Gu Xiaojia get in the car.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xiaojia didn't enter the compartment, but sat down on the shaft.
He glared at Gu Xiaojia: "You can't drive the car, what are you doing on the shaft?"
Gu Xiaojia was also angry: "The carriage is full of luggage, where do you want me to sit?"
Hao Guozi had no choice but to shut up.
Lao Tao put the horse in the carriage and horse shop, and came to drive the carriage for Gu Tao and the others himself.
It was the first time that Gu She felt regretful. If he had known this, he should have resolved the conflict between Gu Xiaojia and Hao Guozi as soon as Tao Mo said it yesterday.
Now not only is there no food for lunch, even Tao Mo is by his side, so he doesn't dare to say a word of love and kiss his little mouth, because he knows how good a martial arts practitioner's hearing is.
I had no choice but to take out the law book and tell Tao Mo honestly.
At noon, he stopped in front of a tea stall on the side of the road, and Lao Tao bought all the tea eggs from the stall.
Tao Mo picked two eggs with unbroken shells and gave them to Gu She, and the others each ate a few.
Gu She originally decided to find a way to reconcile Gu Xiaojia and Hao Guozi as soon as the car stopped, but when he got out of the car, he found that the two of them had no grievances, and they were very harmonious and friendly.
That night, Hao Guozi went to sleep with Gu Xiaojia again. The next day, Gu Xiaojia's injury healed, and he came to drive Gu Tao.
The journey was safe and sound, and they walked faster and faster. By April 3rd, we had already arrived in Langfang.
Langfang is only more than a hundred miles away from the capital. If there is no accident, you can reach the capital at noon the next day.
Instead of the eagerness they had at the beginning, all the people began to hesitate.
In this place in the capital, their past is placed, and the pain of the past is still vivid, and now they have to face it.
They seemed to understand what they were thinking. God started to rain at the right time. The rain was heavy, and it was definitely not suitable for going on the road.
The innkeeper also saw that they were distinguished guests, and arranged for them to go to the attic facing the street to enjoy the rain.
It is said to appreciate the rain, but in fact, what is so good about the rain scene in the city? Gu Xiaojia and Hao Guozi soon fell asleep and were sent back to sleep by Gu Tao.
Lao Tao was left to accompany Gu Shetao Mo, sleepy on the recliner.
Moisture splashed into the attic, and the damp air was everywhere.
Tao Mo saw that the opportunity was rare, so he expressed the thoughts that had been suppressed in his heart these days.
"Xianzhi, I think Little Brother Jia is working too hard. You are the only one by your side, rely on him inside and out."
Gu She didn't take it seriously: "I redeemed his parents and brothers, put them in a farm, and lived a life of luxury, is it not enough to repay him?"
"Then, Brother Jia is also free now?"
Gu She hesitated: "He's not."
Tao Mo said sadly: "Brother Jia is the one who suffers, and his parents and brothers are the ones who enjoy the blessings. Isn't it a bit unfair?"
"If his slave status is eliminated, then there will be no restrictions at all."
"Then you can also arrange a few more people to make him relax!"
Gu She shook his head: "He likes to monopolize power, if other people share it, he will be suspicious that I don't trust him!"
Seeing that Tao Mo was still about to argue, he added: "Gu Xiaojia is not Hao Guozi. He has ability, so we have to let him use it. Isn't the happiest thing for a person is when someone needs him? Irreplaceable, that would be happier."
As he spoke, he stared at Tao Mo, with unfinished words in his eyes.
Tao Mo blushed, and forcibly changed the subject: "Then I never let Guozi care so much, I think he is quite happy."
"Hao Guozi doesn't have this ability, so it's not suitable to be used like Xiaojia. It just happens to be here with you. You just need to do some daily chores within your ability. Although you can't give him rich clothes and food, what you give him is worthy. Thanks to his ability, besides, you treat him like a younger brother on weekdays, of course he feels happy."
Tao Mo nodded and said, "Xianzhi, are you saying that a mountain grows a tree, and each region produces each kind of grain?"
Gu She smiled and said, "You can also say that."
Tao Mo thoughtfully picked up the kettle on the small clay stove to wash the tea. After the tea was brewed, he held the teapot in his hands and did not put it down, just staring blankly.
Gu She took the teapot from him and put it on the table. Only then did Tao Mo wake up: "Ah! Tea!"
Gu She picked up the cup: "The tea is ready."
Tao Mo saw that the color of the tea was clear, the tea leaves stretched out, and there was nothing wrong with them, so he felt relieved and took a cup to taste.
Before savoring the fragrance of tea, Lao Tao suddenly jumped up!
"Young Master Gu, protect the young master and follow me!"
Although Tao Mo didn't know what happened, but seeing Lao Tao's expression, he also knew that there was danger, so he rushed to protect Gu She anxiously: "Xian Zhi, you are injured, you hide behind me!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he pounced on him, before he could stand still, Gu She somehow protected him in his arms and forcibly led him to the stairs.
He jumped anxiously: "Xianzhi! It should be me who protects you!"
Gu She's face darkened: "Shut up!"
Tao Mo was taken aback by Gu She's expression, but he still struggled: "Xianzhi, I'll come—uh!"
His eyes widened in shock as Gu She blocked his mouth with his mouth.
Lao Tao held a bench as a weapon in his hand, glanced at Gu Tao and the two, then looked around vigilantly.
When Tao Mo was soft in his arms, Gu She let go of Tao Mo and carried him down the stairs.
Old Tao broke behind.
At this time, Gu She also heard the sound of weapons intersecting, and it was getting closer!
Old Tao said in a low voice: "Young master Gu, look after the young master, I am no match for my two fists, it is important for us to protect ourselves, don't let him meddle in other people's business!"
Gu She agreed.
Going down to the second floor, Gu She and Tao Mo retreated into the room, Lao Tao guarded the door, and the three of them listened to the movement on the street together.
Gu Xiaojia and Hao Guozi were worried about Gu Tao and ran over.
There were quite a few guests stranded in the inn, and at this time they all closed their doors tightly, pretending that no one was there.
One figure climbed over the wall, another figure jumped up to give chase, but unexpectedly, the man was just deceiving him, and with a counterattack, he rolled down from the wall and remained motionless. When everyone looked at the corpse, it was actually wearing the clothes of a Ouchi guard!
Lao Tao and Gu She exchanged a look, both of them were surprised.
The rain quickly washed away the blood, and the sound of weapons colliding, the sound of another body falling to the ground, and the sound of several people running away could be heard from outside the wall.
A person climbed over the wall, and it was the figure who climbed over the wall at first. He squatted down and tried the breath of the man on the ground. After looking around, he rushed into the stable and jumped on the most handsome horse.
Hao Guozi shouted anxiously, "Old Tao's horse!"
Gu She said calmly, "Let him go!"
Immediately, the man suddenly turned his head to look at Gu She. At this sight, Tao Mo and old Tao Haoguo were shocked!
Immediately, the man's eyes were about to burst: "Lianjian?!"
