Chapter 345 A friend in need is a friend indeed
Three carriages were driving on the snowy road.
Gu Chan and others were sitting in their carriages, huddled together to keep each other warm.
The winter at the border of Tiancang Kingdom was so cold that Gu Chan had to sigh at how bad the weather was.
Through the carriage window, Gu Chan saw the people on both sides of the road rushing towards the border, with endless worry on their faces.
Xue Lihua and Cheng Yu nestled next to Gu Chan, while Ma Zheng sat in front and drove the carriage despite the severe cold.
After being silent for a long time, Ma Zheng turned around and said, "Boss, will everyone freeze to death on the way?"
"As long as they bring enough food and drink, it shouldn't be possible. There is a problem, after all, they all went to the border with hope this time, unlike the last time they fled, they were all so desperate," Gu Chan said.
Ma Zheng nodded quietly, hoping in his heart that the people could hold on.
While the two were talking, the carriage entered a forest.
Gu Chan spoke at the right time and said, "Go ahead and find a place where the snow is not so thick and let the horse rest!"
"Okay boss." Ma Zheng responded and immediately drove the lead car towards the direction. Rush under a big tree ahead.
After a while, three carriages stopped under the big tree.
Because there are tall trees overhead, the snow on the ground below is not that thick, and because this is a forest, the cold wind is not as cold as outside.
Everyone got out of the carriage and gathered around to keep warm.
Gu Chan took out the box of gold that the emperor had rewarded and said to the six people, "You each take six thousand taels of gold and go over. This will be considered as my sharing of your hard work this time." "
"Six thousand taels? Give us that much?" Wei Xing said in surprise.
He really didn’t expect that Gu Chan would directly share so much gold with everyone.
Gu Chan smiled and said, "It's not much. I feel like it's too little. The six of you each have six thousand taels. The total is only thirty-six thousand taels. There are still 14,000 taels left. I think After that, after going back, I will take out 4,000 taels and distribute them to everyone in the hospital. The remaining 10,000 taels will be given to Wan'er and Ziyue to save them. If something happens to us in the future, more than fifty At least I can still have money to eat."
"Little boss, you are kind and righteous, it seems that we are with the right person," Ren Nanshan said happily.
He had been wondering whether it was the right decision to quit the Central Plains Camp and follow Gu Chan.
But judging from the current situation, he has no regrets at all.
Others think the same way.
Gu Chan said seriously, "Don't praise me, and don't be too happy too early. I'm giving you money, actually, just to reassure you. This time we go to Jiangnan, we don't know what will happen. What will happen? If we don’t get that much money within half a year, I’m afraid everyone will have to follow me and lose their heads, so now I want you to decide whether to follow me or not.”
Speaking of this, Gu Chan paused, and then continued, "If you continue to follow me, then you have to be prepared to lose your head. If you don't follow me, you will each get it after you return to Zhongyuan City. With these six thousand taels of gold, as well as your own savings, go to Kyoto to serve in Renzong. This can be regarded as a job I have planned for you and a way out for you. "
The six of them listened to it. Chan's words immediately moved her beyond measure.
After working on it for a long time, it was only now that they realized that Gu Chan had already thought of a way out for them.
No wonder when she was in the county government, she wanted Feng Ji to approve them to join Renzong. As long as they became Renzong secret agents and broke away from her, the emperor would have no reasonable reason to kill them again. , when he couldn't get the money, he would just kill Gu Chan.
It can be said that this time Gu Chan completely took the matter on herself. After thinking about this, Ma Zheng couldn't help but threw himself into Gu Chan's arms and cried, "Boss, you are so kind to us. If I don't leave you, I will die with you in the future."
"Okay, grown man, why don't you cry! Stop crying." Gu Chan reached out and patted Ma Zheng on the back and said.
Wei Xing and the other five laughed. They all made a decision at that moment. They each stepped forward and took out six thousand taels of gold from the box, wrapped it in cloth and stuffed it into their bags.
Gu Chan was speechless.
Everyone showed her their determination to take on this matter with her through their actions, which had to move her.
After everyone put away the gold, Wei Xing said to Gu Chan with a smile, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, it's very cold outside, let's get in the carriage and drive back to Zhongyuan City as soon as possible to prepare. , and then set off for the Jiangnan area."
"Yes! The wind hurts my face outside, it's better to stay warm in the carriage," Xue Lihua said.
Then everyone got into the carriage and continued on their way.
Gu Chan was sitting in the carriage, unable to hide the smile on her moved face.
She was glad that her vision was correct. These six people were by no means selfish villains. As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. At this time, they could leave her behind and go there. A safer and more comfortable life, but they did not do this, and chose to face the coming danger with her.
It is considered a blessing for Gu Chan to have such a few close friends in life.
And in the next seven days.
Everyone just talked and laughed all the way.
On the afternoon of the eighth day, the three carriages finally entered Zhongyuan City.
After dark, Gu Chan and others returned to the refugee area in a carriage.
Due to the opening of the border, most people have gone back, so the current refugee area is not as lively as before, and the flow of people is not as large as before.
This made the entire refugee area a lot quieter.
Gu Chan said with a smile, "I hope there will be as few people here as possible in the future. Of course, what I hope most is for this place to develop in the future and completely remove the name of the refugee zone."
< br>"It's difficult. Unless the county magistrate of Zhongyuan City is replaced, I'm afraid it won't be able to develop here." Xue Lihua said.
"Yes! I heard before I came here that the current county magistrate of Zhongyuan City is a selfish dog official. A dog official like this will not care about the life and death of the people here at all." Cheng Yu also followed suit.
Gu Chan raised her lips and smiled, with a cruel look on her face.
In the past, it was a bit difficult for her to deal with Zheng Shixian, a dog official, but now it was easy for her to deal with this dog official.
"It seems that before I come to Jiangnan, I have to make some contributions to the people of Zhongyuan City."
Thinking like this, Gu Chan couldn't help but murmur to herself.
For the sake of her more than 50 dependents, and for the sake of all the people in Zhongyuan City, she must get rid of Zheng Shixian, the bad official, before leaving.
