Chapter 19 Ambush +
Gu Yu originally only guessed, but when he got close to the valley entrance, he found that there were indeed people ambushing.
However, compared to the people they encountered in the forest yesterday, there were only half as many.
It seemed that even if Luoluo Kingdom wanted to destroy this batch of grain and fodder, they didn’t dare to send too many people because they were within the territory of Linfeng Kingdom.
Of course, it was also possible that Luoluo Kingdom was playing some kind of trick. Gu Yu had no way of knowing exactly how many people had come.
For now, it was only a guess.
Since there were only more than twenty people this time, it was much easier to handle.
The stones they had just collected were not used. When Gu Mengyao used her speed to quickly approach these people with Gu Yu, and after narrowing the distance to within ten meters, Gu Yu’s space would be of great use.
In the blink of an eye, before the other party could even react, they were put into Gu Yu’s space.
Then, after Gu Mengyao stopped, the question of how to deal with these people was a bit tricky.
Gu Yu was worried that if he killed again at such a short interval, his little wife might not be able to handle it, so he directly stated that the black bear would deal with them this time.
Gu Mengyao did not object this time. She knew that if she only explained with words, Gu Yu would still be worried that she would have a psychological burden from killing people.
Although Gu Mengyao felt a little helpless that Gu Yu treated her like a fragile porcelain doll and was so careful not to let her fall, she was also happy in her heart.
After all, being cared about felt quite good.
If it could reassure Gu Yu, Gu Mengyao would not refuse even if she pretended to be a weak woman in certain situations.
Afterwards, after Gu Yu released the black bear and gave instructions, he led the black bear and Xi Yang to the other end of the valley entrance.
After releasing the people from the space, before they could react, they were killed by the black bear’s claws.
As for those who were still struggling to survive, Xi Yang delivered the final blow, ensuring that not a single one would be left alive.
Gu Yu did not want to see such a bloody scene, so he took Gu Mengyao back to the valley entrance. Although he felt that he was not a good person, his heart was still a little heavy after killing so many people.
But he couldn’t not kill them.
After all, their camps were different, and if they really kept them, it would be like nurturing a tiger that would cause trouble later.
This was war, not a sparring match.
With just a little carelessness, one could lose their life… Gu Yu’s only advantage over others was a space cheat.
Other than that, he was just an ordinary person.
After being shot in the chest with an arrow, he would directly hold his breath and go to see Yama.
Therefore, it was better for one Taoist to die than for the poor Taoist to die.
The soft-heartedness of womanly kindness was the most fatal at this time.
In the final analysis, the Emperor of Luoluo Kingdom, who decided to start the war, was too hateful. He couldn’t live a good life and had to stir up all this trouble.
If it weren’t for this war, he and his little wife would still be living a carefree life in Yang Family Village. Why would they have to follow the caravan to transport grain and fodder to the battlefield like this, feeling so miserable?
Speaking of which, Gu Yu felt that his life after transmigrating had become truly magnificent after meeting the Gu Mengyao siblings!
He originally thought he would just live a simple life in the village, but who knew that he would end up on the battlefield like this?
The span was too great!
“A Yu, the caravan has caught up.”
“Hmm, I know.”
When the grain transport carts began to move towards the valley entrance, Xi Yang and the black bear also walked towards Gu Yu. When Gu Yu put the two of them into his space, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that things were resolved, there was nothing to worry about.
Originally, Gu Yu just wanted to come out for some fresh air and have some sweet time with his little wife, but he didn’t expect to encounter an ambush again. He didn’t know if similar situations would happen on the rest of the journey.
Alas, hurry up and deliver this batch of grain and fodder to the front line!
“A Yu, come and see! There are some things left by Luoluo Kingdom here. So many bottles and jars with lids, I wonder what’s inside?”
While Gu Yu was waiting for the caravan to arrive, Gu Mengyao suddenly said something, and then her body quickly moved in a certain direction, which made Gu Yu curiously follow her, wanting to see what Luoluo Kingdom had left behind.
As a result, it was indeed as Gu Mengyao had said. More than twenty porcelain bottles, about the size of a palm, were placed in the grass. If Gu Mengyao hadn’t been sharp-eyed, they might not have discovered these bottles hidden by the lush wild grass.
When Gu Yu came to the place where the bottles were placed and squatted down, he reached out and picked up one of the bottles. Before he could examine it carefully, his nose caught a strange smell.
It was very pungent.
When Gu Yu opened the lid of the bottle, the smell became even stronger.
“Hmm… isn’t this the smell of a lamp? Are these lamp oils?”
“It is indeed lamp oil.”
When Gu Mengyao asked in confusion, Gu Yu, in order to test its authenticity, poured the liquid in the bottle onto the ground. Then, he took out a flint from his space, lit a piece of paper, and when he brought the flame close to the liquid, it quickly burned up.
“Are they trying to use these lamp oils to burn the grain and fodder carts?”
“Hmm, I was wondering why the number of people this time was not large. I didn’t expect that they intended to burn the grain and fodder and not engage in direct combat.”
Gu Yu immediately put the bottles and jars in front of him into his space, and then did not linger here any longer. Instead, he pulled along Gu Mengyao, who was still angry, and walked back to the valley entrance to wait for the arrival of the grain transport caravan.
If it weren’t for the two of them suddenly having a whim to go out for a stroll and not breaking Luoluo Kingdom’s conspiracy, these bottles filled with lamp oil would have been thrown onto the grain and fodder carts, and a single spark would have been enough to burn an entire cart of grain.
Previously, they relied on their numbers to kill people. After failing, this time they set their sights on burning the grain and fodder carts.
Unfortunately, both plans were thwarted by Gu Yu.
“Mengyao, smile, don’t let Xing Zhi and the others find out. In another two days, we’ll be able to deliver this batch of grain and fodder to the front line.”
“Hmm, I’m not angry! No matter how many people Luoluo Kingdom sends, I won’t let their conspiracy succeed.”
Seeing that Gu Mengyao was no longer angry, but instead put her fist to her chest and cheered herself on, she looked a little cute.
Gu Yu shook his head helplessly at this.
Victory and defeat are common in war.
No matter the process, the final result is the most important.
Instead of pursuing Luoluo Kingdom’s shamelessness now, it’s better to think about how to deal with their subsequent actions.
This batch of grain and fodder was more important than Gu Yu had imagined.
Afterwards, there would definitely be more people from Luoluo Kingdom appearing…
“Huh? You say we’ve been walking for such a long time, why haven’t there been any people blocking our way!”
“What? Do you still want more people to come out and entertain you? Forget it, be grateful that no one is jumping out to cause trouble now!”
“Exactly, I was chosen to transport grain and fodder this time, and I thought I was doomed!”
“Why? Isn’t it quite simple? We only need to transport this batch of grain and fodder to the front line, and the mission will be completed.”
“I can tell you’re a new soldier and don’t understand anything! The front-line situation is critical, and we need to transport the grain and fodder quickly… If you were from Luoluo Kingdom, knowing this news, would you send people to deal with the grain and fodder carts?”
“…Oh my god, so there was such a thing? Then I don’t dare to think of such reckless things anymore. Let’s hurry up and deliver this batch of grain and fodder to the front line!”
“Don’t panic. In another half a day, we will reach our destination. After handing over the grain and fodder, we can rush back to Black Jade City.”
Sitting in the carriage, Gu Yu leaned against the car window and listened to the soldiers talking outside. He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It was also thanks to Gu Yu and the others that these soldiers did not encounter any danger.
Ever since they encountered the enemy in the canyon who wanted to set fire to the grain, Gu Yu’s vigilance had risen to the highest level. Afterwards, they caught a few more enemy troops on the way forward, and then things gradually calmed down.
In the end, they proceeded smoothly all the way.
It was probably because all the people sent by Luoluo Kingdom had died.
Roughly calculated, the number of people they had killed alone was in the hundreds.
Gu Yu, exhausted from the journey, thought that after delivering the grain, he would quickly take his little wife away.
Just transporting the grain and fodder caused so many problems, it was imaginable that the front line was even more chaotic.
No wonder his father-in-law had told them not to be responsible for transporting grain and fodder before.
However, if Gu Qing personally came to escort the grain and fodder, considering that they had encountered enemy attacks on the way, it was likely that in the end, not only would the grain and fodder not be saved, but he himself would also not be saved.
“A Yu, we’re about to reach the front line, and we’ll be able to rest soon.”
“Hmm, Mengyao, you’ve worked hard during this time. I feel like you’ve lost weight.”
“It’s only been a few days! It’s impossible to lose weight so obviously! I think you, A Yu, have become much more haggard. When we go back, I’ll make you old hen soup to replenish your energy.”
“Okay, I’m tired of eating roast meat all the time. Mengyao, you have to make delicious food for me every day then.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to feed you plump and fair.”
While speaking, Gu Mengyao seemed to recall Gu Yu’s plump and fair appearance, and the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curl upwards. Then, as if realizing that her little thoughts had been revealed, she immediately covered her mouth with her hand and pretended that nothing had happened.
Gu Yu shook his head helplessly at this wilful behavior.
Then, like a hungry wolf pouncing, he lunged towards Gu Mengyao, reaching out to tickle her and prepare to display his great power today, making his little wife obediently beg for mercy.
However, perhaps Gu Mengyao did not expect Gu Yu to suddenly pounce, so without any preparation, the two of them fell into the carriage.
The next second, Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao’s eyes widened involuntarily, feeling that the current situation was somewhat wrong.
Why did they kiss accidentally while playing!
Especially Gu Yu, who kissed Gu Mengyao on the corner of her mouth, with one hand resting on her chest.
Hmm… although it was a little small, it was quite soft.
