The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1370

Chapter 1370: 666 Second Watch_2

Even though I couldn’t actually attend classes, I still had to make an appearance, so as not to disappoint the children.

"Then I’ll drive you there," Gu Xiaoshun said.

Ever since learning that Mama was only two and a half years old, the family rarely let it pull the carriage, usually just having it turn the millstone.

Fortunately, there was another horse at home.

Gu Xiaoshun led the horse out and harnessed it to the carriage.

After that, he went inside to grab a cloak and a straw coat. When he came out, the horse pulling the carriage had changed to Mama, and the other horse stood at a distance, in the alleyway.

Gu Xiaoshun scratched his head in astonishment, "What’s going on? Who switched them? Why is it you?"

He removed the shafts from Mama, led her back inside, and then brought the other horse out to harness it.

"Xiaoshun, have some food before you go!"

Mrs. Nan called out to him from inside the house.

"Just give me a couple of steamed buns to take with me!" Gu Xiaoshun hurried into the house.

By the time he came out clutching the steamed buns, Mama was once again pulling the carriage!

"No, this..."

Gu Xiaoshun was completely baffled, "Sister!"

Gu Jiao came outside, looked at Mama, then at the other horse that Mama had frightened, and said, "Come here."

Mama didn’t move.

That meant it was determined to go out.

Gu Xiaoshun said, "Sister."

Gu Jiao replied, "Never mind, go back inside. I’ll go by myself."

"Oh," Gu Xiaoshun scratched his head and turned to go back inside, "...Actually, I’m not that heavy."

Gu Jiao climbed into the carriage, and with a whoosh, Mama sped off with the carriage leaving a cloud of dust in its wake!

Mama was fast, and Gu Jiao didn’t get caught in the rain on the road. It was only after entering the residence that the heavy rain began to fall.

The heavy rain showed no signs of weakening as it poured incessantly.

Gu Chengfeng took shelter under a large tree for a while, but he inevitably got discovered.

He had no idea how they found him, as he was sure he hadn’t given himself away.

There were four officials, each skilled in martial arts. In the past, Gu Chengfeng would have found them manageable, but with a painful wound on his leg, he managed to escape from their grasp only by sustaining a minor injury.

The four officials lay severely wounded on the ground, unable to follow him immediately.

The real fear was that a second wave of officials would come after him.

To Gu Chengfeng, capturing a mere slave seemed unnecessary, yet he understood that they were enforcing not just the capture of a slave, but the rules.

If everyone did as he did and simply walked away, who would remain loyal and toil in the mines?

They wanted to catch him to make an example out of him by killing him.

Gu Chengfeng followed the Official Road he had taken before, not knowing how long he had walked until he finally reached a bustling street.

The prosperity of Shengdu was incomparable to that of Zhaodu. Even with the heavy rain pouring down, there were still numerous street vendors on either side of the road, and the Shops were bustling with customers.

Gu Chengfeng, braving the rain, trudged along the wet street, his footsteps uneven.

His head was in pain, and he felt somewhat chilly.

Suddenly, he was bumped into by a man coming in the opposite direction.

The man cursed loudly, "Don’t you watch where you’re going?"
