Chapter 67: Have you thought it through?
“Mengyao, it’s best not to go over rashly when you don’t know who the other party is!”
As Gu Mengyao was getting up and putting on clothes, Gu Yu hurriedly said, not wanting his little wife to be in danger, not allowing even the slightest possibility!
However, Gu Mengyao didn’t take it seriously.
She had already thought about making Gu Yu understand that even if she was pregnant, she was not a weak woman who could not even wield a chicken. She was capable of handling critical moments and would not put herself in danger.
This little husband of hers was really too worried!
If she didn’t correct him at this time, Gu Mengyao felt that by the time her belly showed, she probably wouldn’t even be able to leave her room.
Thinking about such a development, Gu Mengyao immediately decided that she must let Gu Yu have a good look!
She, Gu Mengyao, was a very capable woman~
“Yu, I’m just going to take a look, there won’t be any danger!”
Smiling at Gu Yu, Gu Mengyao immediately kissed Gu Yu on the cheek after putting on her dress.
“I’ll be back soon.” After saying that, Gu Mengyao immediately pushed the door open and walked towards the Gu Residence’s main gate.
How could Gu Yu wait alone? Quickly putting on his clothes, Gu Yu hurried after his wife.
This little wife of his, who was lawless, was truly fearless because of her high martial arts skills.
Although he also liked this Gu Mengyao, he had to rest well now that she was pregnant!
At least, until the dangerous period passed.
Thinking of this, Gu Yu quickened his pace, preparing to catch up with Gu Mengyao and give his little wife a good talking-to.
However, thinking was one thing, but doing it was not so easy.
Even though Gu Mengyao was pregnant, it did not mean that her martial arts had disappeared. After a slight display of lightness skill, she was already at a speed that was countless times faster.
By the time Gu Yu arrived at the Gu Residence’s main gate, panting, Gu Mengyao had already arrived and had a conversation with the people who had come, knowing the purpose of their visit.
“Yu, these are the martial artists we met in the town before.” Turning her head to see Gu Yu appear, Gu Mengyao said softly.
Then, worried that Gu Yu might not remember, Gu Mengyao added, “They said they wanted me to become the Martial Arts Alliance Leader and asked for time to consider. If they had thought it through, they would come to the Gu Residence in the capital to visit.”
Listening to Gu Mengyao’s words, Gu Yu immediately nodded.
Upon seeing these people, Gu Yu immediately remembered their origins, and his original speculation was overturned. They were not sent by those ministers who were detoxifying to find fault.
However, it was indeed surprising!
Seeing the arrogance of these martial artists before, Gu Yu thought they wouldn’t be able to reach an agreement, let alone let Gu Mengyao become the new Martial Arts Alliance Leader!
After all, Gu Yu did not believe that they had not inquired about the Gu Residence before coming.
Since they already knew that Gu Mengyao was a favorite of Empress Bai Qian, and these people still dared to come, they probably already had a plan!
Gu Yu didn’t care what these people were thinking. If they obediently let Gu Mengyao become the Martial Arts Alliance Leader, he didn’t mind helping to resolve the current difficulties.
However, if these people wanted to play tricks, then they should not blame him for being merciless!
“Did they think it through this time?”
Looking at the people in front of him, Gu Yu asked in a low voice. Gu Mengyao’s previous conversation with them must have yielded a lot of information.
“Mmm, they decided to let me be the new Martial Arts Alliance Leader, but it seems they have some requests… In short, let them enter the mansion first!”
After speaking, Gu Mengyao immediately instructed the guards to welcome the people into the mansion, preparing to find a quiet courtyard to have a good chat.
Suddenly becoming the Martial Arts Alliance Leader, this news was very shocking!
However, for Gu Mengyao, becoming the Martial Arts Alliance Leader was a good thing.
The position of Great General represented the status of the imperial court, while becoming the Martial Arts Alliance Leader represented the status of the martial arts world.
Although the imperial court and the martial arts world had always been at odds, perhaps there would be new changes for her.
As the saying goes, it is better to resolve enmity than to create it.
Once she really became the Martial Arts Alliance Leader, Gu Mengyao would definitely work hard to resolve the conflicts between the two sides and strive for a good outcome.
If the two sides reconciled, the martial arts world could cultivate many good seedlings, and when they went to war with other countries in the future, they could better supplement the needs of the army.
Every time she saw young soldiers lose their lives, Gu Mengyao, as a commander, felt very sad.
They could clearly live longer…
These soldiers had not practiced martial arts. They were all forcibly conscripted from various places, and going to war was a sure death.
However, if the martial arts world sent people into the army every year, the situation would change!
Thinking of this, Gu Mengyao had more expectations for her position as the Martial Arts Alliance Leader.
Only…
After all, their identities and statuses were different. She didn’t know what kind of requirements these people had for her to become the Martial Arts Alliance Leader.
“General Gu, Lord Gu, since we parted ways in Lingyang Town, our group has discussed with others a lot, and finally came up with a bold decision! Of course, after we knew General Gu’s identity, we also thought about not contacting you, but the disaster in the martial arts world is gradually spreading. If there is no…”
As everyone gathered in a small courtyard, maids and servants brought stools, and the martial artists did not refuse. Instead, they directly sat on the stools, and the person standing at the front began to speak.
The others were all nervous but pretending to be relaxed. They sat on the stools and looked down at the ground or up at the sky, in short, they did not make eye contact with Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao, the two parties involved.
Their guilty conscience made Gu Yu raise his eyebrows, thinking that these guys were not coming to surrender, but rather had big problems!
“Alright, stop talking nonsense, just get to the point!”
Gu Yu looked at the leader who was still trying to stall and immediately put on a somber expression. Then, he rudely interrupted the other person and asked him to state the real purpose of their visit.
Continuing to dawdle was a waste of time!
With this time, his little wife could sleep a little longer!
However, thinking that the other party might not be friendly, Gu Yu felt that he could not let these guys speak carelessly: “By the way, you also know that I am very good at poison. If you anger me, your fate will be worse than death… Angering my wife is even more angering than angering me.”
Gu Yu smiled at these martial artists, and as he spoke threatening words, many people trembled, clearly quite scared.
However, the man who had just spoken took a deep breath and then immediately said what he had planned: “We want General Gu to resign from the position of Great General and focus on leading the affairs of the martial arts world, becoming a powerful martial arts world that can confront the imperial court!”
