Chapter 114: I am not her opponent either
Suddenly hearing what his younger brother-in-law said, Gu Yu sat up abruptly from the bed.
Although he and Gu Mengyao had coincidentally heard this news while admiring the snowscape, after waiting for a few days, there was no new information in the capital, which made both of them think that others were spreading rumors.
But unexpectedly, now they heard it again from Gu Qingheng’s mouth…
“It’s not certain yet, don’t think too much.”
“I just wanted to tell my brother-in-law so that it wouldn’t be too late to tell him later. Brother-in-law, you should rest well, I’m going to play with Sister Xia Tian.”
“Don’t always play, you need to read and study as well!”
“Got it~ By the way, my sister is practicing with her spear in the courtyard, she’s amazing! Sister Xia Tian was so mesmerized that she couldn’t move and insisted on staying in the courtyard to watch. It might just distract my sister so she won’t notice that I snuck away.”
“……”
Afterwards, as Gu Qingheng was about to leave, he seemed to suddenly remember something and then spoke to Gu Yu, talking about what Gu Mengyao was doing.
Gu Qingheng’s frustration was obvious in his eyes. He felt that his sister was too handsome, which was not good, and she was almost enchanting Sister Xia Tian.
Although Gu Qingheng also thought… should he train himself to a masterful level of kung fu, and then enchant Sister Xia Tian.
But later, after practicing with Gu Mengyao, he realized that he, like his brother-in-law, was not cut out for martial arts.
Even Sister Xia Tian learned martial arts faster than him, it was completely the speed of a rabbit and a tortoise, incomparable.
Perhaps because she was too outstanding in reading and calligraphy, she had no opportunity in practicing martial arts.
If Gu Qingheng wanted to enchant Xia Tian through martial arts, it would be better to directly ask Gu Yu for a packet of sedatives…
However, although martial arts did not work out, Gu Qingheng decided to try from other aspects.
It is said that young girls like serious and handsome men.
So, without saying anything else, he was very confident in his studies.
Moreover, he also wanted to serve in the government in the future…
Now, he just needed to wait until he grew up, and then he could show off to Sister Xia Tian in various ways.
“Your sister is practicing with her spear again?”
After Gu Yu heard what his younger brother-in-law said, he thought his wife was too diligent, and she was happier practicing martial arts than doing anything else.
Gu Yu was not surprised to hear the news of Gu Mengyao practicing martial arts.
It was because before the Lunar New Year, Gu Mengyao would also secretly find opportunities to practice martial arts, which Gu Yu had stumbled upon a few times, but he did not expose it.
Gu Mengyao’s expression was very focused when she practiced martial arts, and her diligent appearance made it difficult for Gu Yu to say anything more.
Especially when Gu Mengyao made progress in practicing martial arts, her happy expression was very cute.
Since Gu Mengyao liked practicing martial arts so much, Gu Yu felt that he should not continue to obstruct her, otherwise his little wife would be even more tired.
Having to practice martial arts and deal with him, although it was a dual success, it was not something everyone could tolerate.
However, although Gu Yu had now accepted it, he did not know how to tell Gu Mengyao…
“Brother-in-law, are you going to talk about my sister? Hurry up and tell her after your illness is cured! So that my sister doesn’t show off every day and enchant Sister Xia Tian…”
“What am I going to say about your sister? I am very happy that Mengyao can take this matter of practicing martial arts seriously, why should I say anything! I will praise your sister in the future, let her focus more on practicing martial arts, and don’t worry about me.”
“…Brother-in-law, are you my brother-in-law? I feel like you’ve changed into a different person. You were so worried about stopping my sister from practicing martial arts before, why do you suddenly agree now?”
Looking at Gu Qingheng in front of him, Gu Yu’s eyes rolled, and a plan immediately came to mind.
Afterwards, when he spoke, he indeed hooked Gu Qingheng.
However, Gu Qingheng’s current look of disbelief made Gu Yu feel incredibly annoyed, and he silently thought if his previous performance was really that obvious?
Even his younger brother-in-law noticed it…
“I’ve thought it through! I used to stop your sister because I didn’t want her to take risks, but after experiencing so many things, I found that practicing martial arts is better. At least in the future, I won’t be harmed when facing danger.”
“But, once my sister becomes skilled in martial arts, brother-in-law, you won’t be able to beat my sister! If she deals with you in the future, it will be deadly!”
“Even if your sister’s martial arts are not strong now, I am not her opponent.”
“…That’s true.”
After hearing Gu Yu’s answer, Gu Qingheng nodded in agreement, thinking that it was indeed as Gu Yu said.
His sister’s innate divine strength was not for show.
She could punch a tiger to death!
“Alright, I have to go! My sister is probably almost done practicing her spear, I must hurry, otherwise if I’m caught, I’ll be punished to recite books again.”
“Okay, go.”
After that, Gu Qingheng did not stay with Gu Yu for long. After saying what he had to say, he walked out of the room and towards where Gu Mengyao was practicing martial arts, preparing to tell her this good news.
If his sister knew that she could practice martial arts freely, she would probably be very happy!
After seeing Gu Qingheng leave, Gu Yu was also relieved, thinking that he had finally conveyed the message to Gu Mengyao through his younger brother-in-law’s mouth.
However, when he thought of Fengming Kingdom, Gu Yu was troubled again.
He had just dealt with Luoluo Kingdom, and now Fengming Kingdom had popped up. After defeating Fengming Kingdom, would other countries also attack Linfeng Kingdom?
Moreover, the frequent occurrence of wars always made Gu Yu feel that something was wrong.
But now, there were too few clues, and he did not know the specifics, so it was not good to jump to conclusions. He could only continue to observe the situation.
He hoped it wouldn’t develop in a bad direction!
……
After being sick for a week, Gu Yu finally recovered and got out of bed.
During this period, although Gu Yu had many prescriptions for treating fever and colds in his mind, at the peak of his fever, he couldn’t remember anything. He lay on the bed in a daze, completely passively.
When his condition improved, Gu Yu no longer needed to prescribe medicine, because his body’s self-healing ability was activated, and his fever quickly subsided. Afterwards, he was only left with the after-effect of fatigue.
However, with Gu Mengyao cooking all kinds of dishes every day, Gu Yu not only did not lose weight, but gained a few pounds, which made him truly exclaim… If he continued to lie in bed, he would become a fat man.
“A Yu, why don’t you rest more? Your illness has just recovered, there’s no need to rush out.”
“It’s okay, so many days have passed, I’m bored in the room, why not come out for a stroll and breathe some fresh air.”
“Okay, I’ll walk with you.”
When Gu Yu walked out of the room, Gu Mengyao was very worried about Gu Yu’s health. She told Gu Yu to rest for a few more days. Gu Yu heard this and helplessly shook his head, indicating that he didn’t want to stay in the room anymore.
Eat until full and then sleep, and sleep until full and then eat. No wonder he gained weight…
Seeing that Gu Yu did not want to be cooped up in the room, Gu Mengyao did not force him back to bed. She just asked Gu Yu to wear an extra coat and then accompanied him around the backyard of the Gu Residence.
“Mengyao, has anything happened recently? I’ve been in the room for so long, my information is a bit out of date.”
“Hmm… nothing major, but my father doesn’t know what he’s been doing recently. He comes back very late every day and keeps frowning.”
“Frowning?”
“Yes, especially when he looks at me, he can’t help but sigh, which makes me very curious. But when I ask, my father doesn’t tell me… It angered me so much that I stopped staying with him and came back to practice my spear instead.”
Walking on the garden path, after the Lunar New Year, the snow stopped falling, and the roads were clear.
After Gu Yu heard Gu Mengyao’s words, he was puzzled about what his father-in-law was up to?
Even if Fengming Kingdom really launched a war, there was no need to frown and sigh at Gu Mengyao.
Could it be…
Suddenly thinking of a particularly bad conjecture, Gu Yu’s face immediately turned dark. Gu Mengyao, who was beside him, was also very curious, not knowing why Gu Yu had such a reaction after hearing her words?
“A Yu, what’s wrong?”
“…Huh? It’s nothing, it’s nothing. I just spaced out for a moment.”
“Well, it’s good that it’s nothing. You should go out for more walks in the future, lest you become foolish by staying in the room.”
After hearing Gu Mengyao’s voice, Gu Yu finally came out of his thoughts and responded in time.
Seeing Gu Mengyao’s smiling face, Gu Yu really wanted to reveal his guess, but he was worried that it would backfire, so it was better to go home quickly.
As Gu Mengyao had said before, the capital was really too troublesome, he wouldn’t come again in the future!
“Mengyao, we’ve been in the capital for quite a long time. Do you want to go back to Lian Town? Qingheng shouldn’t fall behind in his courses at the academy, and we also need to go home and tidy up.”
“Hmm, I was also thinking about when to go back, but A Yu, you’ve just recovered from a serious illness and can’t travel yet. Let’s talk about it in a couple of days!”
“Okay.”
However, after hearing Gu Mengyao agree to leave, Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of recovering his health quickly and then leaving the capital immediately.
“Sister, I’ve been looking for you for a long time! So you and my brother-in-law are here. I’m exhausted.”
“What do you need me for?”
“The imperial decree has arrived, and you are summoned!”
“Me?”
While Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao were strolling, Gu Qingheng saw them in the distance and immediately ran over, panting, and then told Gu Mengyao to hurry to the front courtyard, as there was an eunuch with an imperial decree.
After hearing Gu Qingheng’s words, Gu Mengyao’s expression was full of confusion. She didn’t know why the imperial decree had arrived, but it specifically requested her to go?
Was it because she was Gu Qing’s daughter, so she had to receive the imperial decree together?
“Qingheng, what exactly happened?”
Not only was Gu Mengyao confused, but Gu Yu also had an ominous premonition in his heart. So at this moment, he quickly asked Gu Qingheng what had happened.
If it was for the family to receive the imperial decree together, then he had to go too, but Gu Qingheng did not mention it just now…
Don’t let his previous guess become a reality!
“My sister has been selected as a deputy general and will go to the battlefield with my father.”
“What???”
A storm is brewing.
