Gu Shian pondered for a moment and said, "I am going to Xishu partly for my own business. My sister just gave birth to a child. I am really ashamed, but I still shamelessly ask you to take good care of her along the way and make sure she doesn't get hurt!"

Ning Weizhou held Gu Feiwan's hand and said, "Don't worry, second brother. Even if you don't tell me, I will treat this as the most important thing!"

"That's good!" Gu Shian breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his face to Ning Weizhou, but glanced at Gu Feiwan: "How about we talk while walking..."

"Second brother, there is no need to avoid Fei Wan. There is nothing about me that she doesn't know!" Ning Weizhou laughed heartily:

"I promised her that no matter how dangerous the matter is, I would always let her know. Rather than letting her guess at home in fear, it's better to tell her. Even if something happens, she will know where to collect my body!"

"Ouch!"

Before he could finish his words, Ning Weizhou cried out in pain!

Gu Feiwan took back his hand: "I'll tell you to speak without any taboos!"

Gu Shian nodded, "That's good. Husband and wife share the same fate. They share hardships and happiness. Besides, Fei Wan is not an ordinary woman. Let her know more. Maybe she can help you."

"Second brother is absolutely right!" Ning Weizhou kept touching his waist. Gu Feiwan's force just now showed that she was really angry. He was much more careful when speaking:

"I am a military commander. Fighting in battles is my duty. How can there be no danger? At first, I wanted to hide it, but then I thought that husband and wife are of the same mind. I am working outside, and it would be more exhausting for her to guess. It would be better for me to tell her the truth. With her knowledge and intelligence, she can think more carefully for me!"

"Just like this time, Fei Wan asked me to wear thick armor, summoned half of the Black Guards to follow behind, and recruited some capable people in the martial arts world to be spies. Huang Mazi also found a ranger from Western Shu for me. In the past two days, I have really understood a lot about Western Shu."

As he spoke, Ning Weizhou grabbed Gu Feiwan's hand again, his face full of admiration:

"All of this is thanks to Fei Wan. With her help, I am sure to win!"

Gu Feiwan struggled twice, gave up in vain and spat: "Shameless!"

Gu Shian stood up and said quietly, "I know you two are in love, but you don't have to do it for me to see!"

"Second brother, why hasn't my eldest brother come over these past two days?" Gu Feiwan was shy and quickly found an excuse to change the subject.

Gu Shian paused as he was about to leave: "He must be hiding from someone!"

"Who are you hiding from?" Gu Feiwan became curious.

"When you see him later, ask him yourself!" Gu Shian stepped out of the room and turned back to remind him:

"Be careful on your journey and make sure you return safely!"

Ning Weizhou and Gu Feiwan looked at each other in bewilderment: "Who did Big Brother offend again?"

"No one in this mansion would bother with him, right?" Gu Feiwan thought about them one by one.

Even though Gu Jiusi was a bit harsh, the people who followed Gu Feiwan, except Qingshuang, were all elders of the Gu family.

But Qingshuang is a straightforward person who knows the difference between superiors and subordinates. Why would she need Gu Jiusi to hide from her?

Just then Qingshuang came in to pick up her luggage, and Gu Feiwan stopped her:

"Did the eldest master have any quarrels with anyone in the mansion in the past two days?"

Qing Shuang continued smoothly, "The eldest master teases us servants every day, and we servants will also say a few words to join in the fun. This doesn't count as a quarrel, right?"

"Think again!"

"I can't think of it, and the eldest master hasn't come to the pomegranate garden these days." Qingshuang frowned.

"Don't think about it. I'll ask my brother when I see him later!" Ning Weizhou glanced around the room.

"Is there anything else you want to pack? If not, get in the car and get going while it's still early."

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Gu Feiwan had to give up for the time being. The departure time had already been scheduled and couldn't be delayed because of these trivial matters.

Some people gathered at the entrance of Liuyuan to see him off. Gu Feiwan looked around for a while before finding Gu Jiusi in the crowd.

"Brother!" Gu Feiwan waved his hand, but Gu Jiusi seemed to be startled. He looked around in panic, and when he saw that only Ning Weizhou was beside Gu Feiwan, he trotted over.

"Brother, why are you so sneaky? If grandfather sees you like this, he will definitely beat you with a stick!" Gu Feiwan was amused.

Gu Jiusi looked around, pulled Gu Feiwan aside, and then took out a triangle from his sleeve:

"This is the amulet I asked for you at the temple outside the city. You must wear it every day!"

Gu Feiwan took the amulet and glanced at Gu Jiusi's slightly purple forehead:

"Brother, did you beg for it from the foot of the mountain, kowtowing every step you took?"

Gu Jiusi rubbed his clothes hem with embarrassment: "I heard that this temple is the most accurate in guaranteeing safety. If the common people here are going to travel far away, they will go there to pray for one. The more sincere the heart, the more effective it is. So I kowtowed a few more times."

Gu Feiwan felt a surge of warmth in her heart: "Brother is also going back to the capital, but I didn't expect this..."

"I'm a man, why do I need these?" Gu Jiusi hurriedly comforted: "Xiaozhou has given me many soldiers, and I am still an official appointed by the court. Returning to the capital is like going home. Sister, please don't worry!"

"It's Xishu where my sister is going. Not only is the journey long, but the mountain roads are even more rugged. There are many deep forests and miasma over there. I have to be particularly worried!"

As Gu Jiusi was talking, he became anxious and stamped his feet:

"If the emperor hadn't urged me to return to the capital to report on my work, I would have escorted my sister to Western Shu!"

Gu Feiwan completely forgot what he was going to ask and carefully put the amulet into his pocket:

"I wear my elder brother's amulet close to my body, just like my elder brother is protecting me. Besides, I have Xiaozhou here, so my elder brother can rest assured that he will always protect me!"

The brother and sister chatted for a long time, and when Ning Weizhou finished exchanging pleasantries with the people who were seeing him off and came to pick him up, they stopped talking.

"Xiao Zhou, you must take good care of my sister!" Gu Jiusi urged earnestly.

Ning Weizhou nodded: "Don't worry, big brother. Please be careful and considerate along the way!"

Gu Jiusi clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best!"

When Gu Feiwan's carriage left the city, he cried out "Ouch" and remembered,

She also wanted to ask who Gu Jiusi was hiding from!

Ning Weizhou heard Gu Feiwan's annoyance on his horse and said with a smile: "I will send a pigeon home later to let grandpa and grandma interrogate him, and then send a letter to my wife to let her know!"

Gu Feiwan lifted the curtain and said, "You are talking nonsense. Your pigeons are very precious. How can they be used for this purpose?"

"No matter how precious they are, they are nothing compared to my wife. Even if my wife wants to drink pigeon soup tonight, I will personally kill two for her to satisfy her craving!"

Ning Weizhou's heartfelt words were met with a roll of the eyes from Gu Feiwan:

"If you speak louder, everyone in Jiangnan will know that your wife is a greedy person!"

"Hahaha!" Ning Weizhou laughed loudly, and Gu Feiwan couldn't help laughing too!
