I am a winner with Chinese poetry

Almost subconsciously, Gu Yunzhou turned his head back suddenly, wanting to see what was going on.

But the moment he turned his head, the originally bright and dazzling fire suddenly went out without any warning, as if it were under a spell, without even a trace of spark left.

At the same time, the intermittent snoring of the servant suddenly stopped as if an invisible hand had strangled his throat. The world around him instantly became silent, so quiet that it was a little creepy.

Gu Yunzhou's heart sank suddenly, and a strong sense of foreboding surged into his heart like a tide, quickly spreading throughout his body. This feeling had been lingering in his heart since nightfall, and now it seemed that it was finally coming true.

There is no doubt that tonight is destined to be not peaceful - a guest is about to visit, and from the current situation, this uninvited guest is probably not a good person!

Thinking of this, Gu Yunzhou didn't dare to delay any longer. He took a deep breath, then jumped lightly, and like a nimble monkey, he jumped steadily onto a towering tree beside him.

Standing on a thick branch, with the bright moonlight pouring down like mercury, Gu Yunzhou cautiously looked in the direction of the carriage. That was where he had just rested...

The Galloping Beast beside my ear snorted, as if it was shouting, and then quickly fell silent again, like a whisper in the middle of the night.

At this moment, a dazzling firelight lit up and spread at an astonishing speed.

In the blink of an eye, the carriage that had been parked there for Gu Yunzhou to rest was completely engulfed in flames. The fire was extremely fierce, and the blazing flames danced wildly, illuminating the surroundings as brightly as daylight.

As the fire raged, the galloping beast was frightened and let out a violent roar. The shrill roar cut through the sky, making people shudder.

At the same time, several dark figures appeared quietly around the carriage like ghosts. Their agility and quick movements made them look particularly mysterious and eerie against the backdrop of the firelight.

"There is no one in the master's carriage!" A man in black checked the carriage and reported to the leader who was waiting on the side.

The leader stood there with a tall figure and a gloomy expression. After hearing his subordinates' report, his brows furrowed tightly and he snorted coldly, "Hmph, start looking everywhere immediately! Since the carriage is parked here and the boy is still there, he must not have gotten far!"

As he finished speaking, the dozen or so men in black who had surrounded him rushed away in all directions like arrows from a bow, and disappeared into the vast night in the blink of an eye. Only a handful of men in black remained to guard the place.

At this time, a man wearing a hideous demon mask approached the leader and said angrily, "Brother, could it be that our plan has leaked out? Otherwise, how could Gu Yunzhou escape? If that's the case, all our efforts will be wasted!"

The leader shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "It shouldn't be that case. Our action plan this time is extremely secretive, and not many people know about it. Besides, we spent a lot of money to bribe that person. If he doesn't want the matter to be discovered by the headmaster and then severely punished, I don't think he would dare to speak out easily. After all, he accepted our money to do our work, so he is also our accomplice. If something goes wrong, he will definitely be held responsible!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at the Galloping Beasts that had already been knocked unconscious by the drug and were lying on the ground in a mess. A trace of anger and unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

"Gu Yunzhou is really lucky to be accepted as a disciple by Xie Jinglun. He actually uses this rare Pentium Beast as a cart horse. He's really lucky!"

The man who had complained first, when he saw the leader's gaze resting on those majestic galloping beasts, the jealousy in his heart surged like a tide, and he couldn't help but mutter sourly.

"Humph! He's just the son of a cook in our Gu family. To put it bluntly, he's just a servant. I never thought he could climb up to a high position now. Does he really think he can turn from a wild chicken into a phoenix? He's just wishful thinking!"

Seeing that the leader remained silent and did not respond to his words, this man became more and more excited, and his mouth was like a machine gun, spewing out sour words non-stop.

However, at this moment, the leader, who had been silent until then, finally spoke: "Enough! As the saying goes, the victors are the kings and the losers are the bandits. This time, it is indeed Second Uncle and his men who underestimated their opponents. But don't worry, I, Big Brother, will definitely get this back for you!"

His voice was low and firm, as if squeezed out from between his teeth. These words were spoken to the indignant man beside him, but they were also a vow and request he made to himself.

"Brother, when we catch Gu Yunzhou, I'm going to break his limbs and torture him. It's because of him that my family is broken up. My father and younger brother both died tragically, and the Gu family has suffered a heavy blow and is ruined. Even my poor little sister was ruthlessly broken off by her fiancé because of this incident. Now she's depressed and in tears all day long. If I can't avenge this blood feud, I'm afraid I'll toss and turn every night, unable to sleep!"

The man who said this was clearly Gu Tianqiao, the man who had been deposed from the Imperial Palace and had never recovered, becoming a completely useless man! Back then, after suffering such a heavy blow, he and his sister had resolutely headed straight for the Imperial Capital to seek refuge with the eldest branch of the Gu family.

Since then, the brother and sister have been lurking in the dark, constantly dreaming of the day when they can avenge their previous humiliation and kill their enemy. However, Gu Yunzhou initially hid in the literary academy and refused to show up. Even though Gu Tianqiao hated him to the core, he was hesitant to act rashly.

After much anticipation, that guy finally provoked the Sun family. The opportunity finally came, but who could have expected that the cowardly guy would take advantage of everyone's unpreparedness and try to secretly escape to the border to protect himself.

As a result, the Gu and Sun families dispatched elite assassins to pursue him. They originally thought that this time they would be able to capture him easily, but the damned Gu Yunzhou seemed to have divine help and successfully escaped from the encirclement once again.

During those long and agonizing days, his hatred for Gu Yunzhou burned like a raging fire, leaving him unable to sleep at night. His lips even broke out in blisters from the excessive resentment and anxiety.
