Chapter 904: Your Solution

Wuhen still looked as if he did not trust Lord Huai. He was a lord who had never been out of court since little, so he simply had no idea how much difficulty they had to face outside of the flouris.h.i.+ng city where they could get whatever they wanted with money. Sometimes in society, money was a burden. It could bring you trouble, when your enemies desired much of the money.

He had been to Tongzhou many times, and it was a place filled with mountains. Those who traveled on land would not choose to take this path, and those who traveled on water would avoid anchoring here. Therefore, it was a city of poverty, a place where there was nothing available. Also, well-dressed people like them might even get robbed.

Wuhen was pretty aware of what was going to happen in this place. That was why he opposed coming to Tongzhou, but Lord Huai did not listen to him, and there was nothing he could do. Wuhen would not be able to help Lord Huai, when they ran into trouble. After all, only Lord Yu saved his life before.

He was attached to anyone only out of grat.i.tude.

Zhou Huaijin nodded at him.

He showed no change on his face. Obviously, he had been aware of the potential problems.

The boat approached the bank gradually.

Seeing that the boat was almost at the bank, Zhou Huaijin went to the room to inform Gu Chaoyan. They had a lot of luggage, but Qing and Sword One had already finished packing. Now they were able to leave the boat at any moment.

As for the other things on the boat, Mo Bing and Fu Bao were going to deal with the rest.

Zhou Huaijin came to Gu Chaoyan and carried her up. “Let’s leave, we can get off the boat now.”

Gu Chaoyan subconsciously struggled.

Was he going to carry her out of the boat? There were so many people watching them, and that would make her flush.

“Please, put me down. I may not feel so well here on the boat, but I can walk!” Gu Chaoyan said gently, giving Zhou Huaijin a push as she told him that he could put her down.

Well, Zhou Huaijin would have obeyed her in the past, when she protested, but this time, Zhou Huaijin did not let go. He looked at Gu Chaoyan briefly. “I will carry you down, and no one will date to watch us. We are in Tongzhou, where we are not recognized.”

He was very happy that their reputation would not have to be taken into consideration in this place.

He could tell that Chaoyan was not used to living on the boat, and she would not feel well walking on her own. She had been lying in bed for the past couple of days and even now, she was looking pale. He felt extremely concerned about her. Chaoyan was different from the other women. She was an independent person, and had her own ideas and plans. She was not going to live a carefree life surrounded by treasure, but he was going to treat her well, as long as he could.

With these thoughts in mind, Zhou Huaijin carried her off the boat.

Without any manner to protest, Gu Chaoyan had no choice, but to bury her head inside his chest. At least in this way, she could look less flushed.

Zhou Huaiyu spotted Zhou Huaijin as he carried her out of the boat. He had a touch of complication on his face, and was startled for a moment. He was worried about what they would do after they left the boat.

He threw a look at Zhou Huaijin, who had no expression on his face, but looked very gentle.

He was wondering if Zhou Huaijin had truly arranged everything well.

“I will go and find a wagon,” Zhou Huaiyu suggested.

Wuhen snorted when he heard the proposal.
