A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 117 Zhou Hanzhang is a dog, right?

When did he suggest it, but I don't know what he was worried about, so I didn't say the last thing.

Zhou Hanzhang then asked directly, "When you're out and about, just say what's on your mind."

"I'm afraid that if Madam finds out, she will blame me."

After careful consideration, they decided to leave the carriage behind. "These carriages of ours are too conspicuous on the road. Even if they are not horse thieves, we are afraid that someone with ulterior motives will take notice. Our trip was originally a secret."

Zhou Hanzhang thought it was something serious, so he immediately decided, "Let's do as you say. Mother doesn't travel far often and doesn't know much about our situation. Anyway, we have money on hand, and we can buy whatever we need later."

He had no objection to when he would see Zhou Hanzhang, and then began to recount his strange feeling, "Before we set off, Madam told us some news about the journey, saying that there shouldn't be any bandits in this area."

"So you mean these people are coming for us?" Zhou Hanzhang asked.

He Shi nodded. "It's very likely. Didn't we ask the innkeepers about the master and His Majesty during breakfast this morning? We were probably overheard by someone with ulterior motives."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hanzhang realized that he had indeed thought of it. The journey had been quite peaceful, except for a brief stop at the inn where he inquired about a few things. It was such a coincidence that he had been targeted. No one would believe it was just a coincidence.

Filled with doubt, she walked to General Gu's carriage. Just as she was about to knock on the carriage door to let him know that she was going to unload the other carriages, she heard Gu Qingfeng's scream from inside, "Father, I did help!"

General Gu heard the commotion outside that Zhou Hanzhang had arrived, and instead of continuing to deal with Gu Qingfeng, he quickly lifted the carriage curtain. "Is something the matter?"

As soon as General Gu finished speaking, Gu Qingfeng suddenly jumped out of his carriage and hid behind Zhou Hanzhang.

General Gu frowned as he looked at him, "What kind of behavior is this?!"

If Zhou Hanzhang hadn't been there, he really would have wanted to beat Gu Qingfeng up without a second thought.

Zhou Hanzhang quickly spoke first to say what he wanted to say, in order to interrupt General Gu's anger towards Gu Qingfeng.

"That's right. When did you just tell me that this group of people wasn't quite right?"

Zhou Hanzhang recounted his conversation with He Shi to General Gu, who was quite agitated upon hearing it.

"I never knew your family had such a talented person!"

General Gu was naturally aware of the inappropriateness of what had just happened. He had only intended to teach Gu Qingfeng a lesson before discussing with Zhou Hanzhang how to proceed. He hadn't expected that they had also noticed it and had come to him to discuss the matter even before he had.

If his army had more men like He Shi, many wars could have been avoided.

Do you think our arrangement is feasible?

Both logically and emotionally, Zhou Hanzhang should ask General Gu for his opinion.

"Excellent, excellent."

General Gu had originally intended to discuss this matter with Zhou Hanzhang, and now that Zhou Hanzhang had brought it up first, how could he possibly object?

However, Gu Qingfeng spoke up at a very inopportune moment, "Then wouldn't we have to lower our living standards?"

General Gu: ...

"What are you saying! We should have kept a low profile on this trip. Hanzhang made the right decision. But you, you're out on business, and you're thinking about enjoying yourself?"

General Gu's hands seemed to be itching to get started again, as he mentioned it.

"No, it's not that I'm unaffected. It's just that Junior Brother Zhou is spoiled and pampered. Can he really stand keeping a low profile?"

He looked at the delicate and pampered Zhou Hanzhang and couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Zhou Hanzhang coughed lightly, "General Gu, Young Master Gu, you don't need to worry about me. Since I made this suggestion, I am naturally fine."

Sigh, it's also my own fault for being so wealthy and powerful that many people have misunderstood me.

Upon hearing this, not only Gu Qingfeng, but even General Gu looked at her with disbelief.

Zhou Hanzhang was somewhat embarrassed and lowered his voice, "When traveling, it is natural to prioritize convenience. Our main purpose in coming out this time is to find His Majesty and my father. This is indeed a bit too conspicuous. We did not think it through enough beforehand."

General Gu finally believed Zhou Hanzhang's words and looked at her with more appreciation.

Then she looked at Gu Qingfeng and said, "Look at others. I remember Hanzhang is a few years younger than you, right? Why can't you learn from him?"

Gu Qingfeng felt extremely wronged. "What did I do now? I was just worried about you all."

No one knows a son better than his father. "Are you really only saying this because you're worried about us? Don't you have any other thoughts?"

Gu Qingfeng touched his nose. "I just want everyone to live more comfortably, and there's nothing wrong with that."

Zhou Hanzhang didn't want them to continue arguing like this, so he quickly explained, "Although we've put some luggage down, our standard of living will definitely not be lowered. Don't worry about that. Since our Zhou family said we would cover all expenses for this trip, we will not go back on our word. My idea is to put these large items down first, and if we need anything on the way, we can just buy it."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingfeng had no complaints whatsoever. He immediately put his arm around Zhou Hanzhang with a grin and said, "Hey, you should have said so earlier. To be honest, we're not really afraid of a decline in our living standards. We're just worried that you and the old man will suffer."

General Gu's eyebrows twitched, but he barely suppressed the urge to sit up and beat him up. He angrily lowered the carriage curtain, deciding to simply ignore him.

Seeing that General Gu had no objections, Zhou Hanzhang turned and instructed when to make the arrangements.

Gu Qingfeng stayed by Zhou Hanzhang's side, and when Zhou Hanzhang was about to get into the carriage, he prepared to follow him.

Zhou Hanzhang reached out to stop him, "Young Master Gu, you should go back to your own carriage."

Without waiting for Qingfeng's reaction, she turned around, got into the carriage, and lowered the curtain.

Gu Qingfeng's face darkened as he looked at the lowered carriage curtain. "Hey, what do you mean?"

Zhou Hanzhang did not answer him, but instead came over and gestured for him to return to his carriage.

As Gu Qingfeng left, he was still muttering, "What? I was just worried you'd be bored, so I thought I'd take a carriage and chat with you."

When the time was right, he added, "I think you should find a place to clean up first, Young Master Gu. You smell a bit strong, and our young master doesn't like it."

Gu Qingfeng: !!!

He wanted to get angry, but he knew he shouldn't have, so he held back.

"What do you mean? Are you saying I smell bad? But I just cleaned myself up in the carriage, so why do I still smell?"

He couldn't understand it at all, so he raised his hand and sniffed it carefully, examining every part of it, and then muttered, "Is Zhou Hanzhang a dog?"
