Chapter 5: This Woman is Too Arrogant!
Others sent letters by carrier pigeon, but when it came to Mengyao Gu, she sent a message by sea eagle!
This made Gu Yu, upon seeing Dahai appear, stunned for a moment. It was clear he hadn’t expected… this sea eagle to be capable of delivering messages. It was truly surprising.
“Brother-in-law, isn’t that Dahai? I remember when I parted ways with my sister in the capital, you gave it to her, saying it could fly into the sky to warn of danger if my sister encountered any.”
“Yes, I didn’t expect it to fly back. Look, there’s a bamboo tube tied to its claws. Mengyao should be sending a message back from the military camp.”
“What!!!”
Upon seeing the eagle flying in the sky, Qingheng Gu’s face immediately showed a confused expression.
Clearly, he didn’t know why Dahai would suddenly fly back.
Shouldn’t it have stayed at the military camp, guarding his sister and Sister Xia Tian?
Upon hearing Gu Yu say that Mengyao Gu was sending a message, Qingheng Gu’s eyes widened, and then, thinking of Sister Xia Tian, his small face immediately broke into a brilliant smile.
It’s great that sister can send a message back!
Why hadn’t he thought of this at the beginning!
If he had known earlier, he should have mentioned it in a timely manner when he parted with his sister in the capital. Perhaps Dahai could have delivered the letter a day earlier!
While Qingheng Gu was excited, Gu Yu was no less so.
Now, Gu Yu was eager to know how Mengyao Gu was doing!
And when Dahai circled in the air continuously and refused to come down, Gu Yu directly took out a carrot from his space, and only then did he lure Dahai down and obtain the letter written by Mengyao Gu.
[Ah Yu:
I have arrived at the military camp, and everything is fine here, don’t worry.
How are things on your end?
Have you returned to Lian Town? Or are you still in the capital, doing God-knows-what!
Don’t forget, Qingheng still needs to study…
If you have returned to Lian Town, be sure to make Qingheng study hard and don’t slack off just because I’m not there. Even Xia Tian is working very hard now!
Also, I miss you so much ❤!]
Mengyao Gu didn’t write much on the letter paper, but it made Gu Yu’s face bloom with a smile upon seeing the words.
Especially the ❤ that was drawn.
Gu Qingheng, seeing Gu Yu’s brilliant smile, became very curious and wanted to know what his sister had written that made his brother-in-law laugh non-stop. He was truly too curious!
And, did she write any news about Sister Xia Tian!
“Brother-in-law, are you finished reading? I want to see it too!”
“Finished reading. Are you sure you want to see it?”
“Mmm.”
“Alright.”
And as Gu Yu was thinking about his little wife, Qingheng Gu’s voice immediately followed, indicating that he also wanted to see the content of the letter. This made Gu Yu hesitate.
If Qingheng Gu saw the content of the letter, it would probably break his heart.
However, after Qingheng Gu insisted on seeing it, Gu Yu did not refuse and handed the letter to Qingheng Gu.
As a result, Qingheng Gu’s small face quickly turned sullen.
See, it’s better not to look…
“I told you I wouldn’t let you see it, but you insisted.”
“No, is this how I appear in my sister’s heart? She actually said that I don’t study properly!!! I’m working very hard now, and even Director Qingshan praises me in front of other students every day. I feel embarrassed to listen.”
“Your diligence only started recently. Don’t forget that when you were in the capital, it was very difficult to get you to study, and I couldn’t even drag you away.”
“That was because Sister Xia Tian was around! Since Sister Xia Tian left, my heart has been empty, and I have no desire to play.”
“Oh! So devoted! Then work harder and strive to marry her while Xia Tian is still young… so you don’t lose her to someone else when she grows up.”
“…”
Qingheng Gu was already accustomed to Gu Yu always pouring cold water on him and rolled his eyes at Gu Yu.
Look at what his brother-in-law said, as if he was unwanted!
He wasn’t bad-looking either, and when he grew up, he would definitely be able to charm a crowd of women.
However, he only wanted to marry Sister Xia Tian.
So he had to work hard and not let Sister Xia Tian be snatched away by someone else!
“Brother-in-law, does my sister have foresight? She already left, but how did she know that the two of us were doing bad things in the capital?”
” That’s because your sister knows that I definitely won’t swallow this down after she goes to the battlefield this time.”
“Hahaha, my sister really understands brother-in-law!”
“Hmph! I’m very happy about that. After all, having someone who understands me so well makes me feel incredibly comfortable.”
“…”
As they talked, they were shown off again.
This made Qingheng Gu speechless and twitch his lips. He then decided not to continue discussing the topic and would return to his room to write a letter.
He must tell his sister that next time she sends a message back, she should also let Sister Xia Tian write him a letter.
And now, he had to tell his sister and Sister Xia Tian… that he was studying very hard, so they shouldn’t worry and should be well in the military camp!
End the war early and come back…
After Gu Yu and Qingheng Gu finished writing the reply letters, they found that the bamboo tubes could not fit the letter papers. In the end, Gu Yu attached another bamboo tube to Dahai’s other claw to fit all the letter papers.
When Dahai saw that both of its claws were tied with bamboo tubes, it immediately became very agitated and jumped around, clearly not satisfied that all its feet were being utilized.
In response, Gu Yu directly took out spring water and indicated that it could drink to its heart’s content, which finally satisfied Dahai.
And after seeing Dahai fly away, Gu Yu’s gaze did not retract for a long time. He gazed into the red sunset, wondering what his little wife was doing.
…
“General Gu, please enlighten me.”
“Please.”
After dinner, the training ground of the military camp was very lively. Countless soldiers rushed forward, their heads packed together as they craned their necks to look at the center of the training ground.
It was heard that the newly appointed Vice General, Mengyao Gu, was going to have a competition with the soldiers.
As soon as the news spread, it caused countless people to crowd over to watch the excitement, wanting to see how capable Mengyao Gu, as an airborne soldier, was!
Regarding the sudden appearance of a woman in the military camp, and with a high position, even at the rank of Vice General, many soldiers in the camp were displeased. Before Mengyao Gu even arrived, they were already thinking of various ways to cause her trouble.
Even as a Vice General, she was still just a woman.
What skill could she possibly have.
Under the patriarchal education of Linfeng Kingdom, men had formed a common sense that women were the weaker sex. Therefore, they were very dissatisfied with Mengyao Gu not staying at home to take care of her husband and children, but instead going to the battlefield to cause trouble.
If Gu Yu knew what these soldiers were thinking, he would definitely sprinkle medicinal powder while rolling his eyes, and then tell these guys that it wasn’t his little wife’s choice to come to the battlefield.
If you have the ability, go tell Gongsun Jie and the Emperor!
Only picking on the soft ones, truly contemptible.
“Quick, quick, it’s starting.”
“Yes, I wonder what will happen next.”
“I think Niu Dali will definitely win. Don’t forget, he’s the strongest person in our army! Last time I killed enemies on the battlefield, I saw him impale three people with one saber, and he still looked like he wasn’t using his full strength.”
“My heavens, Niu Dali is that powerful?”
“Alas, the new Vice General is quite good-looking. It would be a shame if she were injured by that brute Niu Dali.”
“Hmph, the military camp doesn’t rely on looks, but on strength. Besides, it was the Vice General herself who said she would accept challenges from the soldiers. She can’t regret it now.”
“Exactly, I despise people who get in through the back door! Why is it that we work hard to kill enemies on the battlefield and are still low-ranking soldiers, while others come directly as Vice Generals.”
“Stop talking, let’s watch the competition!”
While everyone around was discussing, Mengyao Gu was not disturbed in the slightest. She focused on her opponent and, upon seeing the opponent holding a saber and charging forward, Mengyao Gu used her lightness skill and instantly appeared behind Niu Dali.
Mengyao Gu’s speed was very fast. Not only did Niu Dali fail to react, but even the surrounding soldiers watching did not notice.
They didn’t clearly see when Mengyao Gu moved behind Niu Dali!
However, after Mengyao Gu raised her hand and directly struck Niu Dali’s neck, knocking him unconscious, the winner was immediately decided.
The competition ended too quickly, and by the time Niu Dali fell to the ground with his eyes rolled back, everyone around had not yet reacted.
Subsequently, the scene fell into silence.
“Next.”
However, Mengyao Gu did not stop accepting challenges. She calmly said, asking the next challenger to enter the ring.
However, the outcome was still being knocked unconscious.
After over a dozen challengers were knocked unconscious by Mengyao Gu, someone immediately became unhappy.
“This is unfair. You’re relying on your speed to bully others.”
“There’s no fairness on the battlefield, only life and death. However, since you say so, I can win without using speed.”
When someone protested, Mengyao Gu smiled coldly, and her words were irrefutable, but the unwillingness in their hearts did not disappear.
Because until now, Mengyao Gu had not used any offensive moves, only used her speed to knock people unconscious.
In this way, they did not know Mengyao Gu’s true strength, only that her speed was very fast and no one could match it.
Afterwards, Mengyao Gu did not ignore their protests and stated that she could defeat these soldiers without using her speed.
“However, challenging them one by one takes too much time. Let’s have ten people go at it together!”
“You said that yourself.”
“Exactly, don’t regret it.”
“Hmph, she really doesn’t know her limits. She actually wants to fight ten people at once. Does she think she’s a god of war?”
When Mengyao Gu stated that it was a waste of time and it would be better to finish quickly, the surrounding soldiers immediately began to discuss, all feeling that Mengyao Gu was underestimating them.
This woman is too arrogant!
However, Mengyao Gu had to assist Xia Tian in practicing martial arts and could not delay.
Therefore, when ten people appeared before Mengyao Gu, Mengyao Gu reached out and picked up a spear, no longer fighting barehanded.
Then…
That day, the sky was filled with red clouds.
One person and one spear shocked the entire military camp.
