Interstellar boss dressed as a peasant girl and became rich

Chapter 252 Back to One
Although Gu Yu and Qiu Shi were not unarmed, facing the bandits who appeared one after another, he was worried that he would be overwhelmed and get injured.

Returning with so many supplies would have attracted a lot of attention. Even if there were no bandits tonight, there would be other people with ulterior motives coveting them. Gu Yu pondered for a while and said, "Let Qiu Shi and the others stay highly alert during the rest of the journey and try to avoid those people in the dark."

Gu Wu was just an ordinary man. He wanted to help Gu Yu deal with important matters outside, but he was unable to do so. He said helplessly, "Next, I can only continue to trouble you two."

"Dad, what are you saying? You are my family. It is my responsibility to protect you and handle important matters ahead." Gu Yu keenly caught the flash of guilt in Gu Wu's eyes and hurried to comfort him.

Gu Wu knew very well that Gu Yu was a kind and sensible child, but as a parent, who wouldn't feel sorry for their children?
In the eyes of others, they only see the superficial beauty, but in the hearts of parents, what they care most about is always the safety and success of their children.

Gu Wu felt sorry for Gu Yu and Han Yili who had just been through a battle, and said, "Now that the things outside have been dealt with, take the three children back and have a good rest!"

Not long after Gu Yu and Han Yili left, Yang came and took the three children to their room. As Gu Pan and the others got up, everyone from both families was there.

Gu Yu picked up Cong Cong from Yang's arms and said gently, "Let's go back to the house first. It's still early. You can go back to the house and sleep for a while."

With such a big thing happening, how could Yang and the others sleep? "You guys go back to the room first, we still need to talk for a while."

"Okay, then we'll go back first." Gu Yu carried his son and went out with Han Yili.

They returned to their own room, put the three little ones on the blanket and let them play by themselves. They asked Han Yili to go to the inner room to wash up first. After coming out, the couple began to talk about what happened tonight.

Han Yili said to Gu Yu seriously, "Ayu, I think we can send out a vanguard team to explore the way ahead. If we find any bandits on the way, we can immediately retreat by boat or take other water routes."

If he didn't carry any supplies, Gu Yu could return home at a leisurely pace.

However, there are so many vital, life-saving supplies on board, and every minute of delay could result in one more person going hungry and freezing. "That's not necessary, just continue sailing forward as planned."

"It's just..." Han Yili hesitated to speak.

"There's nothing to worry about!" Gu Yu interrupted Han Yili and said firmly, "Send the vanguard to explore the way. If we encounter bandits, we will also fight them. There are not only our own people on the ship, but also Nan Quan and his men. Even if the nearby bandits continue to rush towards us, we are capable of fighting."

Generally speaking, when wealthy and powerful families are dealing with major affairs, they tend to abandon some insignificant little characters and push them to the front to serve as cannon fodder.

Regarding what happened tonight, Han Yili originally planned to send a vanguard team to the front to explore the conditions of the waterway.

However, judging from Gu Yu's attitude, this was obviously not necessary.

Han Yili stared directly at Gu Yu, trying to persuade him: "Send a team..."

"I understand your intentions and thoughts, but I have already made my attitude clear, so there is no need to say more." Gu Yu was well aware of Han Yili's plans and actions.

But she disdains to do so. She disperses her forces and lets everyone stay on the boat. If they really encounter bandits again, wouldn't it be better for everyone to work together and deal a fatal blow to the enemy?
The next morning, when the sun rose, Gu Yu asked Qiu Shi to take a few robots to the government to report the case in person.

At noon, the local prefect personally led his men to the boat. When he saw so many corpses on the boat, he could not help but feel terrified. He secretly thanked Gu Yu for bringing enough people with him, and they were very skilled, so they were not defeated by the bandits.

At the same time, he was also glad that the bandits targeted Gu Yu and others instead of harming the surrounding villagers.

Otherwise, if the bandits went to rob nearby villagers, then he, as the prefect, would probably have difficulty getting promoted in the next few years, and might even have an X on his career path.

With a feeling of relief, the prefect said, "Madam Gu, please rest assured that I will deal fairly with the bandits who are still alive. As for the bandits who have died, I will order the ship to be driven to a safe area and clear all the bandits on board."

Gu Yu did not show any dissatisfaction with the prefect's proposal. Instead, he said very politely: "Since the person has been handed over to you, I will follow your arrangements on other matters." He then said: "But this time, so many bandits came to rob us. I believe there are still many bandits in their lair. Please send more people to keep an eye on these evil bandits after you go back. Don't let these bandits continue to cause trouble to the village and harm the people."

The prefect was sweating profusely after hearing Gu Yu's words, and he quickly responded: "I understand, I will definitely handle this matter properly, please rest assured."

In fact, he was not unaware of the close relationship between the bandits and certain local officials and wealthy people.

However, for the sake of his own career advancement, he chose to turn a blind eye and pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Now the bandits have hit a wall and are about to be wiped out. They must make a clear attitude no matter what.

Almost in an instant, the sharp-minded Gu Yu noticed a hint of panic in the prefect's eyes.

After completing the handover with the prefect, Gu Yu turned around and ordered the people from the Chamber of Commerce to monitor the prefect's every move.

If the prefect and the bandits are secretly colluding and having private dealings, find a reliable person to expose the matter directly.

After this matter was properly handled, Gu Yu and his party continued on their journey.

Perhaps because of this fierce battle, their morale was greatly boosted. After that, the journey was unusually smooth, and they never encountered those ignorant bandits who came to rob and harass them again.

After drifting on the river for nearly half a month, the ship finally sailed towards the land it had been away from for a long time.

Gu Wu and the others standing on the deck were extremely excited and cheered: "We are back! We are finally back!"

For Gu Wu and his friends, half of their lives have passed, and this is the first time they have been away from home for such a long time.

As the boat approached their hometown, the longing for their hometown became stronger and stronger. The eldest sister-in-law couldn't help but sigh: "I wonder how Hongying and her family are doing at home now?"

Obviously, the sister-in-law's concern for her children is beyond words.

"You just love to worry. Didn't Hongying write to you a few days ago saying that everything was fine at home? The closer you are to home, the more worried you are about it." Gu Jianan felt particularly happy as he looked at his hometown which was gradually approaching. He couldn't help but teasing his wife.
