I am a winner with Chinese poetry

"You should know that I'm not going out this time simply to complete a mission. In fact, I want to temporarily avoid the Sun family's edge. If you go with me, there is a high possibility of retaliation from the Sun family."

Gu Yunzhou frowned and slowly shook his head, refusing. It was precisely because he considered them friends that he didn't want them to get involved in this fight.

"The Sun family is not so bold as to attack several of our families at the same time. They cannot afford the consequences!" Wei Yu said in a decisive tone, and the others nodded frantically.

"Yunzhou, we are worried about you and Master Jia going to the border. The journey is long, and even if we ride at full speed, it will take more than half a month. We will have a companion on the road together. Besides, I have been an 8th-rank scholar for several years. I will go there to see the monsters and help the human race. Maybe the stimulation will help me break through to the 7th rank!" Qi Heng also persuaded.

"Yes, Brother Wei is a 7th-rank scholar, and I am also an 8th-rank. Although my cultivation is not high, I will definitely not be a drag. Each of our families has also brought a few powerful followers and elders. Brother Gu, you really don't have to worry too much. Besides, we have packed our things, and the carriage is now parked in front of your door!" Li Qingfeng directly used a move to cut off the source of the problem, pointing to the outside of the Gu family's gate and said.

Gu Yunzhou was speechless for a moment, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. This was under the banner of experience, to protect him. Why didn't they go earlier or later, but waited until he was about to leave in a hurry to go. Gu Yunzhou was not a fool, so he could naturally feel this friendship.

Gu Yunzhou looked in the direction of his finger and saw several beautifully decorated carriages outside the door, each with its own family's flag on it. He was touched, but more than that, he felt helpless.

These people were all his good friends, and he naturally understood their intentions. However, this trip to the border was no joke; it was a real battlefield where lives could be lost at any time. He didn't want them to be put in danger because of him.

"Thank you very much, but I appreciate your kindness. This trip is no joke. You really don't need to do this!"

Gu Yunzhou smiled carefreely. He knew very well that the Sun family's base camp, Tianyuan County, was far away from Jinzhou County. Even if they wanted to retaliate, they probably wouldn't dare to act rashly with their current manpower in Jinzhou County.

After all, Gu Yunzhou is a young talent favored by several major families in Jinzhou. Today, he stood up on behalf of Jinzhou County. Even if these families want to jointly fight against foreign enemies, they will never openly let Gu Yunzhou put himself in danger.

However, after a while, when the heat of this matter gradually subsided, the situation became unpredictable. Therefore, Director Yuan specially arranged for Gu Yunzhou to leave Jinzhou County as soon as possible.

"Brother Gu, I admire your character and your talent. I regret missing the Heaven and Earth Conscience Contest last time. I regretted it so much that I couldn't sleep well for three days. Now, no matter what you say, I won't leave!"

As Li Qingfeng spoke, he started to act like a rogue. Gu Yunzhou was stunned for a moment, but then he thought that the other party was only seventeen or eighteen years old, which was the prime of his youth in his previous life. Although his behavior was ridiculous, it was understandable.

"Yes, Yunzhou, just let us go with you. We also want to contribute to the human race, even if it is just a small bit. Our trip is not entirely because of you." Seeing this, Qi Heng struck while the iron was hot.

"You can go after me, you don't have to go with me!" Gu Yunzhou shook his head firmly. "This trip to the border is life-threatening, plus there are dangers along the way. If you really consider me a friend, don't make things difficult for me!"

Several people were silent, the atmosphere oppressive and suffocating. Finally, Wei Yu sighed and slowly stood up. "Alright then, since you've made up your mind, we won't force it. But this journey is fraught with danger and unknown perils. How about this? I'll lend you my Uncle Cai. With him taking care of you along the way, he should be able to keep you safe. Once you return safely, I'll let him return to the Wei family."

Wei Yu was a man of decisiveness, never hesitating once he made a decision. Seeing Gu Yunzhou's resolute attitude, he realized that further persuasion was futile, so he chose a compromise and sent a highly skilled guard to accompany Gu Yunzhou to the border.

When Qi Heng heard this, he suddenly slapped his head, then turned and ran out the door. As he ran, he shouted, "Oh, why didn't I think of this? I'll also send two guards to protect you!" After that, he disappeared at the door.

Qingfeng Li hung his head, looking somewhat dejected. He said listlessly, "Hey, Brother Gu, you must return safely. When you come back, remember to tell us about the scenery and stories of the borderlands. It would be great if you could kill a few more monsters and barbarians, so those alien races can see the might of our human race!" Only with the last sentence did he perk up a bit.

"Thank you very much!" Gu Yunzhou did not refuse this time. He felt safer with a few masters accompanying him.

"Alright, Qingfeng, stop causing more trouble. Yunzhou, let me introduce you. There are three guards in total, two of whom are rank 5 and one is rank 6. They are all experienced fighters. We won't delay you from packing your luggage. We'll meet up again when you come back!"

Wei Yu took the reluctant Li Qingfeng and Qi Heng to say goodbye and leave. The few people came and left quickly. The three of them looked very serious and unsmiling, but they gave people a sense of reliability.

"Greetings, Master Gu!" A middle-aged man, leading the three, wore a serious expression, his gaze sharp as a hawk's. After saluting Gu Yunzhou, they quickly settled into their duties, earnestly fulfilling their guard duties.

One of them stood in front, watching the surrounding environment vigilantly; another stood beside Gu Yunzhou, always alert; and the last one was at the back, paying close attention to the movements behind him.

The three of them cooperated well with clear division of labor, forming a tight triangular protection circle. No matter which direction there was any unusual movement, they could respond in time to ensure Gu Yunzhou's safety.

"Thank you for your help. I will reward you handsomely at the end of this trip!" Gu Yunzhou knew very well that these three guards were experienced and powerful people, but he also understood that people's enthusiasm needed to be stimulated.

Although he believed they would do their duty to protect him, he wanted more than just passive defense, but active protection. After all, on this journey to the border, danger would inevitably follow.

As his words fell, a subtle flicker of joy crossed the three people's faces. Who didn't know Gu Yunzhou's name? He was the renowned Gu Zhenguo, whose every poem could trigger strange phenomena in the heavens and the earth.

His promise means that they may have the opportunity to appreciate those poems up close. This opportunity is undoubtedly a great opportunity for them.
