Chapter Eleven Detoxification
It was truly unexpected that Gu Qing’s condition was so serious.
Moreover, judging by the looks of it, it wasn’t just half a month, it was entirely possible that he would die in the next second…
Seeing this, Gu Yu did not dare to delay any longer. He quickly held the detoxification pill in his hand, ready to force-feed it to his father-in-law.
To remove the poison from Gu Qing as soon as possible would allow him to recover his health earlier, saving Mengyao from constant worry.
“What are you doing!”
However, before Gu Yu could get close to Gu Qing, the two personal soldiers attending to him immediately glared and drew the weapons hanging from their waists, pointing them at Gu Yu.
They looked as if they would hack him down the moment he made a move, which made Gu Yu dare not make any further actions.
Gu Mengyao had already rushed forward to hug Gu Qing and cry, so why couldn’t he even get close?
Gu Mengyao was Gu Qing’s daughter, and he was Gu Qing’s son-in-law!
Even if he was a son-in-law who lived with the wife, he was still a son-in-law!
“He is my husband, are you going to stop him?”
Gu Mengyao, who was heartbroken by Gu Qing’s current state, saw Gu Yu being blocked by the two soldiers and immediately declared in front of everyone that Gu Yu was her husband and no one could stop him.
The poison in her father’s body could only be solved by A Yu.
Gu Mengyao could approach Gu Qing so easily, which meant that the two personal soldiers must have received news in advance that Gu Qing also had a daughter, Gu Mengyao, and therefore did not stop her.
However, it was different for Gu Yu.
“This is indeed Miss Mengyao’s husband, please do not be rude.”
Seeing Gu Mengyao get angry, Xing Zhi had to step forward and explain, asking the two personal soldiers to let Gu Yu pass, lest Gu Mengyao get even more angry.
It wasn’t that Xing Zhi was unwilling to explain earlier, but Gu Qing’s condition was precarious, and all dangers had to be blocked.
Gu Mengyao was his daughter and would naturally not harm Gu Qing, but Gu Yu was different.
As a son-in-law who married into the wife’s family, there was no guarantee that he wouldn’t try to kill Gu Qing if he wanted to.
Therefore, Xing Zhi did not want to bring trouble upon himself by jumping out to guarantee anything!
But he did not expect that… now that Gu Yu was blocked, Gu Mengyao would react so strongly.
So, at this time, he had no choice but to step forward, hoping that Gu Yu would not cause any trouble, otherwise, he would also be implicated.
Just as Xing Zhi was thinking bitterly, he suddenly remembered that along the way, Gu Mengyao and Gu Yu had said that they wanted to treat Gu Qing, would it be…
After hearing Xing Zhi’s words, the two personal soldiers exchanged a look and knew that after Gu Mengyao spoke, they could no longer stop him.
After all, Gu Qing’s own daughter said so, and with Xing Zhi’s guarantee, they had no other reason to stop him.
They could only keep an eye on Gu Yu, wary of him harming the Vice General.
After thinking this, the two soldiers put their weapons back to their waists and then looked at Gu Yu vigilantly, in case he suddenly made any unwelcome moves.
Gu Yu, on the other hand, didn’t have time to pay attention to them; saving his father-in-law was more important!
However, he might be obstructed when he administered the medicine to Gu Qing later…
Thinking of this, Gu Yu exchanged a glance with Gu Mengyao, preparing to let his little wife block them, and then shove the medicine into Gu Qing’s mouth.
With just a glance, thanks to their long-term tacit understanding, Gu Mengyao immediately understood what Gu Yu meant in his eyes.
Then she stood behind Gu Yu, and when she turned around to look at Xing Zhi and the others, Gu Mengyao directly took down the long axe hanging on the wall and held it horizontally in front of her.
Gu Mengyao’s expression was serious, and her gaze towards Xing Zhi and the others was full of coldness, as if she would chop them if they dared to take another step forward.
Gu Yu took this opportunity to quickly slip to Gu Qing’s front, forced Gu Qing’s mouth open with a raise of his hand, and quickly stuffed the detoxification pill into his mouth.
Everything happened in a flash. Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao coordinated perfectly. By the time the pill had completely dissolved, Xing Zhi and the others had only just reacted.
Then, with looks of panic on their faces, they looked at Gu Yu, wondering if he had gone mad!
Gu Qing was in critical condition, and Gu Yu still dared to feed him random things. Did he think his life was too long???
If anything happened to Gu Qing, Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao would not be able to escape the consequences.
Even though Gu Mengyao was Gu Qing’s daughter, she would not fare well either.
“Vice General! You villain, how dare you harm the General!”
“Miss, please step aside, otherwise, even if you are Vice General’s daughter, I will not show any mercy.”
Before Xing Zhi and the others could say anything, the two personal soldiers who had stopped Gu Yu earlier had their eyes reddened at this moment. They looked at Gu Yu with animosity, and even their demeanor towards Gu Mengyao lost its previous respect.
They looked as if they were ready to hack Gu Yu, which made Gu Yu retort with an eye-roll without hesitation.
Really! They didn’t even ask what medicine he was giving, and now they were directly calling him a villain. It was too arbitrary!
Although it was Gu Yu’s fault for not explaining in advance, if Gu Yu had obediently explained, he would have already been escorted out and wouldn’t have been able to get within a meter of Gu Qing.
Then, before the two small soldiers could step forward, Gu Mengyao directly stuck the long axe into the ground. The axe body only had half of it exposed, and the other half was deeply embedded in the ground.
The ground was paved with solid blue bricks, yet Gu Mengyao managed to embed the long axe into it as easily as if she were sticking chopsticks into tofu. The personal soldiers’ eyes were filled with shock, and they did not dare to approach further.
The display of skill by Gu Mengyao immediately stunned several people present, which put Gu Yu at ease.
At the same time, he thought that the weapons here were of good quality, otherwise, if the axe had suddenly broken when his little wife showed off this move, it would not have been good.
As for Gu Mengyao’s divine strength, Gu Yu had witnessed her kill a tiger with one hand before. The shock of that scene was incomparable to this minor skirmish.
In short, my wife is awesome!
“Cough, cough, cough… Mengyao, why are you here?”
Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, Gu Qing, who was lying on the bed, suddenly coughed, then opened his eyes. Upon seeing Gu Mengyao, his face immediately showed a look of surprise.
When Gu Mengyao heard Gu Qing’s voice, her body trembled, knowing that Gu Qing would not die!
However, Gu Mengyao was not as emotionally stirred as she was at the beginning, crying tears of joy. At this moment, she stood stubbornly in place, not even glancing at Gu Qing.
She had not yet forgiven her father!
Seeing that his little wife’s stubbornness had resurfaced, Gu Yu could only step forward as the narrator, briefly explaining what had happened.
Of course, he couldn’t help but badmouth the two personal soldiers.
When Gu Qing heard that the personal soldiers dared to make a move against Gu Mengyao, he was immediately furious, his beard bristling, and he directly ordered Xing Zhi to drag them away and give them fifty strokes of the cane.
If they were disrespectful to Miss again in the future, they would be executed.
When Gu Qing spoke, Xing Zhi could only obey. The two personal soldiers did not refute or complain, they just nodded at Gu Qing and then voluntarily walked out to receive their punishment.
They were too agitated today and spoke disrespectfully to Miss, so they deserved to be beaten.
However, if they had to do it again, they would still do the same.
Because only the Vice General was the most important, they had to ensure that the Vice General was alive and not allow the slightest danger.
Finally, it was Gu Mengyao who intervened, preventing them from actually receiving fifty strokes of the cane.
In the military camp, fifty strokes of the cane could directly beat someone to death.
Although these two were disrespectful to Gu Mengyao, they did it for Gu Qing’s sake, so Gu Mengyao did not intend to make things difficult for them.
At Gu Mengyao’s plea, Gu Qing did not insist.
However, while their lives were spared, their crimes were not forgotten, and the two personal soldiers were each beaten five times to teach them a lesson.
“Vice General, how are you feeling now? Do you have any discomfort?”
“I’m fine. My body always felt weak, and I couldn’t even open my eyes. Just now Gu Yu gave me a pill, and my strength was restored, so I opened my eyes and woke up.”
“That’s good, that’s good! Thanks to Master being alright… sob.”
“I’ve told you, don’t call me Master in the military camp.”
After dealing with the matter of the two personal soldiers, Xing Zhi looked at the awakened Gu Qing and spoke with tears and snot. Not to mention Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao, even Gu Qing eventually couldn’t stand it and quickly told Xing Zhi to stop crying.
He had been detoxified, and he wasn’t dying, so why was he crying!
“This time, it’s all thanks to my good son-in-law with his superb medical skills that he pulled me back from the gates of hell. It’s really good, really good!”
Then, when talking about Gu Yu, Gu Qing’s eyes were full of admiration.
Previously, at the Gu family, if Gu Qing was still somewhat dissatisfied with Gu Yu, now he was very satisfied.
He had originally thought that Gu Yu, a mere farmer’s son, was not worthy of his precious daughter, but he never expected Gu Yu to have such great abilities. He was truly a promising talent!
“He is my husband, not your son-in-law.”
“It’s the same, hehehe.”
However, while Gu Qing, the father-in-law, looked at his son-in-law and became more and more pleased, Gu Mengyao was not happy.
She directly stated that Gu Yu was her husband and told Gu Qing not to think too much.
When Gu Qing heard this, he didn’t get angry. Instead, he chuckled and said that it was all the same.
Gu Yu was Gu Mengyao’s husband, which meant he was his good son-in-law, didn’t he!
After Gu Qing woke up, not long after, he fell asleep again.
Because he had been in a coma for too long, he suffered from malnutrition. Although the poison had been removed, his body still needed a period of rest to regain his former health.
Gu Mengyao and Gu Yu also retreated with everyone. Xing Zhi immediately busied himself arranging rooms for them to live in, for fear of slighting Gu Mengyao.
That move of sticking the axe into the ground earlier made Xing Zhi unforgettable!
Miss was truly amazing!
Because they had been rushing the journey for the past few days, worrying about Gu Qing’s condition, Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao were also extremely tired. Upon arriving at their accommodation, they collapsed onto the bed and slept soundly.
They had to catch up on their lost sleep, because after waking up tomorrow, there would likely be many things to busy themselves with.
