Gu Chengyu was already leading Gu Wan's carriage and heading forward.
They had ten carriages, and when they left, the back of the convoy was mostly empty. Captain Wu knew that it was impossible to keep Gu Chengyu, so he could only watch them leave.
He looked at Mr. Han again. This time he didn't know whether to speak decisively or not. Just when he was in a dilemma, Ma Er pulled him aside.
"Brother! We have all come here. If we retreat, won't we lose hundreds of taels in vain? Our brothers are all injured, so it is not worth it to retreat like this. We will arrive in the capital soon. Say
Maybe no one will rob the escort in the future?"
Ma Er was very reluctant to part with the hundreds of taels of silver that he was about to get. If he got the remaining few hundred taels, everyone would be able to share dozens of taels of silver.
Headguard Wu was a little hesitant at what he said. He glanced at the escorts behind him.
Realizing that they were all watching eagerly, Head Guard Wu sighed, knowing that no one was willing to part with such a small sum of money. The escort agency usually received escorts, but it had never received such a large sum of money.
When you become an escort, your head is tied to the waistband of your pants, and it can fall off at any time.
This is not all for the sake of the mother-in-law and children at home, otherwise who would be willing to do such a dangerous job? Only those who are not married would think of using money to go out and have fun.
It's just that without Mr. Gu and the others, Boss Han would not like their escort agency. However, if they want to break the agreement, they have to pay for the escort.
Mr. Han turned around and saw that the head of Wu's bodyguard was silent. The bodyguards had already mounted their horses regardless of their injured bodies. The wounds were simply bandaged, and some even oozed blood.
Mr. Han snorted coldly. It seemed that these people were reluctant to part with money. They just said it nicely and wanted to take Qiao. As soon as Mr. Gu left, they also got to know each other.
Since the money for the escort was still to be paid, Mr. Han didn't say anything about withdrawing the escort. They had signed a contract, and the contract was filed with the government, so they couldn't refuse it even if they wanted to.
By the time the escort departed, Gu Chengyu and the others had already walked a long way.
"Sir! These people still want us to be their thugs! They are really good at scheming." Ming Yan looked at Gu Chengyu who didn't know what he was thinking.
"Then Mr. Han still wants to give money, doesn't he? He also wants to seduce the young master with a backer!" Ming Mo looked out of the car window and glanced back, and found that the escort agency's convoy had already followed.
Gu Chengyu smiled helplessly: "Actually, even if I don't agree, they will definitely follow us."
"Ah? How can they be so shameless? Why doesn't the young master agree to them?"
Ming Yan thinks that if this is the case, then they can still make more hard-earned money, otherwise they will suffer a loss?
"Let them do it! Although it is more convenient to follow the escort agency, we have more freedom to go on our own without having to follow the escort agency's arrangements. Besides, am I the one who needs the money? I am even less interested in the backer he mentioned.
I’m not sure what kind of evil spirit it is!”
Gu Chengyu didn't care that they were following behind, but if someone tried to kidnap the escort again, he wouldn't be able to take action even if he didn't want to.
For the next three or four days, everything was calm, and the convoy had arrived at the city gate of the capital. Gu Chengyu noticed that the escort's convoy had already turned into another road before, and did not line up with them to enter the city gate. It seemed that they were sending someone off.
Go to other courtyards or Zhuangzi.
Gu Chengyu also thought about it and thought that it might be because the previous batch of people were all lost and no one went back to report the news. Those people were not sure, so they didn't send anyone. However, maybe it was because many people were lost.
I'm reluctant to send anyone over again.
No matter what the reason was, he didn't want to go through this muddy water again.
Carriages were waiting in line at the city gate. The city gates in the capital were much stricter than those in the capital city, so they inspected the carriages very carefully.
Gu Chengyu held the post of senior brother Yin Kun in his hand. There was a lot of stuff in the carriage behind them. These soldiers were rude and he was afraid of damaging Gu Wan's dowry luggage.
After about half an hour, it was Gu Chengyu's turn. At this time, it was already the beginning of Si Shi.
Gu Chengyu opened the curtain and handed out the post in his hand. The soldier guarding the city gate glanced at Gu Chengyu, and then asked what was in the carriage behind.
Ming Mo stepped forward at the right time and explained: "Master, behind us are our female family members, and the carriage at the end is filled with things that young men and girls are used to."
As Ming Mo spoke, he used the cover of his sleeves to hand the silver in his hand to the soldier.
The soldier glanced at the soldiers next to him, pinched the silver in his hand, and said with a smile: "We are doing a routine inspection. Since it is a female family member, it is not easy for us to check again. You can go over!"
When Gu Chengyu saw the soldier's face become warm, he knew that Ming Mo had stuffed a lot of money. Even if he got Yin Kun's post, he was not an official, so he would inevitably give some benefits.
The capital is so big, there are a lot of low-level officials, and the officials have even more families. These soldiers guarding the city gate have long been used to it. If you give them money, they won't be polite, they just don't do it blatantly!
The soldier stuffed the silver into his sleeves and winked at the soldiers next to him to signal them to let them go. Obtaining silver like this would of course bring some benefits to the soldiers, but the amount would be less.
The soldiers were feeling happy when they touched the silver. They felt the size of the silver and found that it was at least five taels. This was a rare and large amount of income.
Guarding the city gate and preventing ordinary people from getting in is a bad job.
He has been guarding the city gate for so long, and he knows all the dignitaries. He does not dare to collect money from their families, and it is impossible for others to take him seriously.
Gu Chengyu and the others entered the city gate and headed straight to the south.
Gu Wan sat in the carriage, raised a corner and looked outside.
"Brother Sun! This capital city is so prosperous! I have never seen such a prosperous place. Look at the beaded flowers on the stalls here, they are more beautiful than those in our county."
The farthest place Gu Wan has ever been is Fucheng, and she only went there by boat this time. She got on the boat in a hurry and never visited Fucheng.
Grandmother had never seen such a prosperous place. Through the corner of the curtain, she looked at the crowded crowd outside and listened to the cries of vendors and salesmen. It felt very strange.
"Mom, Wan'er! Don't look at it. We will live in the capital from now on. You can go out for a walk anytime!" Sun Xian looked at the two of them and said with a smile.
"I don't know where we should stop. Xiaobao's senior brother found a house for him. Didn't he say it's not far from our house? We should go to his house first, right?"
Gu Wan put down the curtain and was very excited. She wanted to go for a walk on the street right away.
"As promised before, we will be sent back first. We have a lot of things. Once everything is settled, we will be picked up tomorrow to go to his house to recognize him."
Sun Xian knew that Gu Chengyu had money, and he heard that the house had three people entering it! Even he was very envious.
