I am a winner with Chinese poetry

Thinking of this, several people bowed solemnly again, and their faces showed a little more sincerity than before. "Don't worry, Master Gu, we will definitely send you back to Jinzhou County safely!"

"Thank you very much!" Gu Yunzhou felt relieved at this. Just then, Qin Shi hurried into the hall with her maid. "Brother Yun, Young Master Wei and the others are leaving? You don't even know how to see them off. Your luggage has already been packed. This bag contains two sets of casual clothes, and this one contains thicker winter clothes. We never know when the weather will get colder. You must take care of yourself while you're away!" Qin Shi said as she handed the bag to Gu Yunzhou, her eyes filled with worry and reluctance.

Gu Yunzhou looked at the two bundles in the maid's hands, then at the two in Qin's, and felt a headache. He knew Qin was worried about him suffering at the border, but he was on a mission, and carrying so many bundles was really inconvenient. However, when he saw Qin's earnest eyes, the words of refusal on his lips were swallowed back.

He took the bundle handed over by Qin, felt the heavy motherly love, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. Although these bundles would bring him some inconvenience, they were more of Qin's care and love for him.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gu. The Fourth Young Master left this carriage behind for your convenience before he left. Don't be fooled by its plain appearance. It's spacious inside and can hold all this luggage."

Seeing Gu Yunzhou's apprehensive expression, Uncle Cai hurriedly explained. Upon hearing this, Qin's face lit up, and she hurriedly ordered the maid to put the package in the car, mumbling about preparing more non-perishable food for her son. Looking at Qin's busy figure, Gu Yunzhou smiled helplessly, silently accepting this overflowing love.

After the carriage started again, Qin's eyes were red from crying. Although she knew that her son would not be in too much risk on this trip because he had the teacher with him, her heart was still filled with reluctance.

The carriage quickly left the inner city and headed out. The driver was one of the three guards. One had to admit, the guards of this era were truly versatile. Not only were they skilled in driving, but they were also proficient in wilderness survival skills, identifying poisons, and treating simple wounds. They were truly high-end talents.

The carriage quickly drove out of the city gate and arrived at the suburbs. Master Jia had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Gu Yunzhou and his group, the heavy stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.

His gaze fell on the carriage pulled by the Cloud-Treading Beast, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. "This is actually a carriage pulled by a Cloud-Treading Beast? You are truly impressive! This kind of tamed monster is very expensive, and its speed is extremely fast. I was originally worried about whether we could reach the border within half a month, but now it seems that we can reach our destination within ten days!"

Master Jia looked at the luxurious carriage with increasing satisfaction. When he learned that the three accompanying guards were sent by the Wei and Qi families to escort Gu Yunzhou to the border, his expression relaxed slightly. However, shortly after they left, the Sun family's spies in Jinzhou City received the news.

At this moment, Sun Zening was lying listlessly on the bed, his expression dull, as if he had lost his soul. It was not until he heard Gu Yunzhou's name that a slight ripple appeared on his numb face.

"Uncle San, kill him! You must help me kill that bastard!" Sun Zening's face was horrible, his expression twisted like a demon from hell. He stared fiercely ahead, wishing to devour Gu Yunzhou alive. However, as soon as he finished speaking, his body began to tremble uncontrollably, and he suddenly spit out another mouthful of blood.

"Zening, don't get excited. Third Uncle promises you that he will tear that guy into pieces. Lie down and rest!"

The old man's heart tightened when he saw this scene, and he hurriedly comforted him. He carefully helped Sun Zening back to the bed, then gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Looking at Sun Zening's crazy appearance, the old man's eyes were filled with heartache and anger.

The old man was also from the Sun family's direct lineage and was a brother of Sun Zening's father, but they had different life paths. The old man had a special liking for cultivation and devoted his entire life to it, never getting married and having no children.

Therefore, he had long regarded Sun Zening as his own son and cared for him in every possible way. This time, he even volunteered to take care of Sun Zening, hoping to protect him. But who would have thought that in front of this seemingly ordinary Gu Yunzhou, they would encounter such a huge setback.

Once the momentum was broken, the consequences were irreversible. Even though he decisively interrupted and took Sun Zening away, he still couldn't avoid the backlash. In just a few hours, his cultivation had plummeted from the peak of the seventh rank to the ninth rank, and it continued to decline. Whether the old man fed him rare spiritual herbs or used his own literary charm to try to alleviate his condition, it was of no avail. He could only watch helplessly as his once high-spirited nephew gradually became a useless person.

After finally calming down the agitated Sun Zening, the old man walked out of the room with a gloomy expression and asked in a deep voice, "Where is that untouchable now?"

"Reporting to the lord, we have sent people to follow them, and it seems that they are heading towards Long County. However, their carriage is pulled by the Cloud-stepping Beast and is very fast. Ah Si and others were unable to keep up. Fortunately, Lord Hong was watching them personally." A smart young man who came out closely behind the old man hurriedly bowed and replied.

"You ran pretty fast, but you've offended our Sun family. Even if he runs to the ends of the earth, what good will it do? Send the order to break Gu Yunzhou's legs and hands and bring him back to me. I'm going to teach him a lesson in front of Zening and make him regret coming to this world!" The old man's eyes were full of murderous intent, and his tone was so cold that it seemed as if ice chips were about to fall out.

"By the way, tell the Gu family in Dijing that this kid has left Jinzhou County, and report his location to the Gu family at any time!" The old man thought of something, smiled coldly, and then explained one by one.

The young man quickly took the order and went down to make arrangements, leaving the old man standing in the courtyard with an indistinct expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

Back to Gu Yunzhou, they travelled day and night towards the border. They had been doing this for a few days without incident. One day, as the sun was setting, they temporarily stopped in a small town.

This town is renowned for its exquisite cultivation techniques, specializing in the cultivation of a wood with a unique aroma. This wood is not only suitable for furniture, but also for making exquisite ornaments and hairpins, which are deeply loved by the people.

As a result, the town was nicknamed "Fragrant Wood Town," and over time, its original name was gradually forgotten. Although Xiangmu Town had a population of less than 20,000, its specialty, fragrant wood, attracted many merchants and travelers from all over the country, making it quite prosperous.
