Chapter 73 – No one can stop him!
No one expected that the seemingly honest coachman would actually make such a move!
The martial artists standing around reacted quickly, but they didn’t immediately intervene to rescue him. Instead, they secretly hoped that the coachman would kill Gu Yu.
That way, they would be saved!
God knows, after dealing with Gu Yu recently, they completely understood his terrible personality.
Based on the information they gathered, Gu Yu was simply lawless!
Moreover, he had a close relationship with Empress Bai Qian… It was rumored that they were already secretly involved.
Gu Yu’s ability to bewitch a nation’s empress was truly remarkable.
He could also maintain the image of a loving husband to his wife externally, truly elevating his acting skills to a new level, becoming an existence that others could only look up to.
Therefore, if Gu Yu could die here, it would be a great thing!
Worth celebrating.
However…
This wish was unlikely to come true.
The dagger in the coachman’s hand did not fall as the crowd hoped. Instead, he directly stabbed himself in the stomach without a word.
And there was no sign of it stopping.
Stab after stab, it created many wounds in his stomach, and finally, he weakly fell to the ground, quickly losing his breath.
Gu Yu remained seated the entire time, motionless, coldly watching the coachman fall at his feet.
Afterwards, when he confirmed the coachman was dead, Gu Yu looked around.
Seeing the look of regret on the faces of the martial artists before they could even retract it, Gu Yu suddenly smiled faintly, revealing a smile.
Even with the sudden appearance of the coachman’s rebellion, it didn’t affect Gu Yu at all.
It was just poison that could solve it, not a very troublesome matter.
So, he didn’t continue to sit there staring at others, but prepared to quickly leave the ruined temple.
Now that the matter was settled and it was confirmed that the next Martial Arts Alliance Leader must be Mengyao Gu, everyone could go back to their respective homes.
However, before leaving, Gu Yu felt he needed to explain things properly.
To avoid any fools coming to assassinate him later, that would be too annoying!
As for whether they believed it or not, it was none of his business.
Some people just want to die quickly, and no one can stop them!
“You didn’t think you’d regain your freedom after I died, did you? I’m sorry, but if I really died, all those I poisoned would die with me… Having so many people to accompany me in death is worth it!”
When Gu Yu finished speaking, he had already reached the entrance of the ruined temple. He saw that the carriage outside had already changed to a different coachman.
This made Gu Yu raise his eyebrows, thinking that the Alliance’s actions were really fast!
The coachman had just died, and they had already found a replacement.
If that was the case, why didn’t they just replace the rebellious coachman from the start?
Was it because they were afraid he would be suspicious if they changed the coachman suddenly, or were they too lazy to bother with these trivial matters?
With the formula for making gunpowder still in his possession, the Alliance couldn’t ignore him, so the most likely reason was the former – Bai Qian was afraid of making him suspicious.
After all, if he were misunderstood, things would be serious.
However, Gu Yu felt that he must take sudden dangers seriously.
Today it was the coachman, tomorrow it might be the maid.
He couldn’t even feel safe at home!
No, he still had to report this to the Alliance… For now, safety was more important.
His little wife was pregnant, and it would be bad if she got startled or something.
Gu Yu worried that he would dismember the perpetrator, which would make Mengyao Gu disgusted, so he should take precautions in advance!
Sitting in the carriage, while Gu Yu was thinking about these issues, he immediately took out a small notebook from his space and wrote down everything he needed to do next.
He hoped that no more trouble would find him before Mengyao Gu gave birth!
…
“Just let him go like that?”
“Otherwise? Do you want to keep Gu Yu?”
“We can’t be so passive, otherwise we’ll be completely dominated by Gu Yu, we must resist!”
“Hey, are you still not awake? We’ve all taken poison, resisting is seeking death!”
After Gu Yu left the ruined temple, the martial artists seemed to have their switches flipped, and their conversation suddenly became more lively.
The previously quiet ruined temple was now like a vegetable market.
Everyone was talking over each other, and no useful suggestions could be obtained.
“Stop talking, it’s already become like this, and the Martial Arts Alliance Leader has already been chosen. Talking about anything else now is useless!”
At this moment, a one-eyed big man suddenly spoke, his loud voice directly drowning out the others.
It also drew everyone’s attention, and they all looked towards the one-eyed big man.
Although the one-eyed big man was telling the truth, at a time when everyone was extremely angry with Gu Yu, saying something like this was asking for a beating.
“Blind Li, were you bribed by Gu Yu? What are you talking about now!”
“What am I talking about? I’m telling the truth! Haven’t we already decided to make Gu Mengyao the new Martial Arts Alliance Leader, and then have her represent the martial arts world in negotiations with the imperial court… This is provoking the relationship between Gu Mengyao and Empress Bai Qian. If something bad happens between them, it might indirectly help us get revenge.”
The one-eyed big man knew he would be the target of everyone’s attack, so he didn’t dare to be arrogant. He directly elaborated on what he hadn’t finished saying.
This made everyone feel much better after hearing it.
That’s right, before Gu Yu arrived, they had already decided to make Gu Mengyao the new Martial Arts Alliance Leader to solve the problems of the martial arts world.
So, no matter how smart and arrogant Gu Yu was, they had played a trick on him this time!
Did they think they could control them with just these methods?
Impossible!
After hearing the one-eyed big man’s words, everyone felt satisfied. They had selectively forgotten the matter of being intimidated by Gu Yu and had actively replaced it with their successful strategy.
Seeing the joyous expressions of everyone, the one-eyed big man chuckled. His remaining eye was filled with a cunning look, making him appear somewhat shifty.
He had perfectly handled the matters Gu Yu had entrusted to him, and he could now go claim his reward.
Thinking of the generous reward, the one-eyed big man felt even happier…
These guys, who were as stupid as oxen, still thought Gu Yu had really fallen for it?
Little did they know that Gu Yu had planned a trap in advance, leading these people step by step into it.
