I traveled through time and space and encountered a famine, and I became a hermit.

Chapter 424: Master Gu’s Plan

After hearing what Gu Dafu said, Uncle Gu asked in joy and shock: "Really? Did you really see the sea?"

“Grandpa, I’m not sure, I only saw him from a distance in the crowd.

But the carriage went towards the palace.

I followed all the way until just now, but I didn't see any carriage coming out of the palace.

So, I am not sure now whether it is Uncle Dahai and the others. "

Upon hearing this, Master Gu looked thoughtful.

After thinking for a while, he said to Gu Dafu: "Whether it is true or not, you can continue to wait tomorrow, or go to the street to ask around.

What if it was them!

Who knows, maybe they had some great fortune in recent years and met some important people.

If it is really them, you can ask them for help.

After all, you have seen the world before, and we, the tribesmen, are a burden to you if we follow you.

If Dahai and his tribe are really prosperous, for the sake of their fellow tribesmen, ask them to help you find a better job. This request should not be a difficult task for them.

I will talk to them myself when the time comes."

"Grandpa, let's talk about the rest after we meet in person." Gu Dafu didn't hold out much hope.

They had been in Beijing for so long, but had never heard of any dignitaries being kept in the palace by the emperor.

If he really stayed in the palace, he would have to be a prince or a noble.

But in Great Xia, the royal family had few descendants, and those they had heard of were not in the capital.

Uncle Dahai’s branch is just ordinary people.

Moreover, when they fled from famine, that group of them had to go deep into the mountains. How could they make friends with the powerful and influential in the mountains?

At this point, Gu Dafu began to doubt himself, thinking that he had probably seen it wrong.

Thinking of this, he didn't want to leave any hope for his grandfather, so he said, "Maybe I saw it wrong, Grandpa.

Let's just put this matter aside and live our own lives.

In the future, I will lead my tribesmen to do some small business, and we can still make a living."

Master Gu disagreed and said, "We have already waited for a whole day yesterday. There is no reason to give up halfway. Ask for leave from the store tomorrow and continue to investigate.

What if it was Dahai and the others?

After all, we are family members. You happened to see them today, but what if they don’t know that we are in the capital?

If you don't look for me and I don't look for you, even if it's really them, we'll miss them."

After hearing this, Gu Dafu felt that what his grandfather said made sense.

He nodded and said, "Okay, Grandfather, I will go to the palace gate tomorrow to guard it. I will see if they will come out today."

"Okay!" The great grandfather said with a smile, "We still have things to do tomorrow, so you should go back early and settle down!"

"Hey, okay, great grandfather, then you should go to bed early too."

"Okay, okay!" Master Gu nodded repeatedly and urged Gu Dafu to go back.

The next morning, Gu Dafu got up early.

He first went to the store to ask for leave, and then came to the palace gate to wait.

But after waiting for about an hour, there was still no sign of the convoy coming out.

Gu Dafu thought that it was not a good idea to wait like this. What if they didn't come out all day today, then he would have wasted another day.

Gu Dafu thought about it and walked to a tea stall on the road leading out of the imperial city.

He took out a dime from his pocket with some pain in his heart and handed it to the waiter at the door.

The waiter happily took the silver and said, "Sir, what do you want?"

"Little Second Brother, a long convoy entered the palace yesterday. Did you see them come out?"

"You mean the motorcades that entered the palace yesterday morning?"

"Yes! Exactly those."

The waiter shook his head: "I have been here to welcome guests since early morning, but I didn't see the convoy coming out."

"Oh, that's right, little brother. Those might be my lost tribesmen. I still have to go to work. Could you please keep an eye on them for me and see if they come out?

I will come back to see Xiaoer brother after I finish my work. You can tell me if you have any. I wonder if Xiaoer brother can help me again."

The waiter touched the silver and asked hesitantly, "Can I just keep an eye on them and tell you when they come?"

The waiter confirmed.

"That's right, and I will go look for it. Even if I don't come by then, the money will belong to my second brother." Gu Dafu said.

The waiter squeezed the change in his hand. Although those who came in and out of the imperial city were all high-ranking officials and royal relatives.

If you sell their information, you may lose your head.

But this person just asked whether the convoy had come out, which should not be considered a leak.

He smiled and nodded, saying: "I am here to solicit customers. I don't often come into the store on weekdays, but I guarantee I can complete the task.

And the convoy you mentioned is so long that even if a smaller person had to go in for an emergency, he should be able to see or hear the news.

Please leave this matter to me, I will definitely keep an eye on it for you."

"Okay, okay. Thank you, little brother." Gu Dafu happily bowed to his little brother, thanked him, and then left.

We drove in the direction where the convoy came from yesterday and asked for directions along the way.

Gu Dahai and his team's convoy was too long, and they were traveling within the city, heading towards the imperial city. All the shopkeepers and vendors along the way had an impression of it.

Gu Dafu asked along the way and finally arrived at the post station.

It was just a post station, and an ordinary citizen like him couldn't enter just because he wanted to.

However, the gatekeepers here are much more lax than those in the imperial palace.

He gave the gatekeeper a dime and found out about the caravan.

But all I found out was that they seemed to be coming from Zesheng County.

As for whether it was the person he was looking for, there was no way to find out.

When Gu Dafu heard the place name, he once again denied his idea in his heart.

Their Dagu Village is still far away from Zesheng County. If Uncle Dahai and his family go into the mountains, it will be even more impossible for them to go to Zesheng County.

However, since we have already found out where the people in the convoy are staying, we won't waste another day.

If he could really confirm whether it was true or not, my great-grandfather would feel at ease.

He also hired someone to help watch the palace gate, so Gu Dafu was no longer worried.

I found a teahouse near the post station and sat there waiting.

This wait lasted until the afternoon.

in the palace.

The emperor summoned the members of the Gu family who had been rewarded to the court early in the morning. One reason was to announce it during the court session, and the other was to introduce the members of the Gu family to the ministers.

After everyone had attended the morning court, he invited them to the palace for lunch and some small talk.

He also took everyone in the Gu family to the vegetable garden that he personally managed and discussed the experience of growing vegetables with Gu Dahai.

They were given two months to take up their posts before being allowed to leave the palace.

The long convoy came with gifts for His Majesty, and left with His Majesty's rewards...

The Gu family felt helpless about this.
