Chapter 30: His little wife is really amazing!
Although he knew that the Wang clan was shooting cold arrows from the dark, Gu Yu didn’t take it to heart. He still traveled and rested every day, wanting to reach the Tang Sect as soon as possible.
At first, Mengyao Gu was worried, but after seeing the assassins being killed as usual, she was relieved.
Whether they were assassins sent by the Tang Sect or the Wang clan, as soon as Gu Yu threw a handful of medicinal powder, they would directly faint.
After that, the guards’ numb hands and practiced movements were like harvesting wheat, reaping lives. It had almost become a habitual action.
It was not their fault that they were so mechanical now. After facing the scene of people lying on the ground waiting to be killed for a long time, anyone would become as calm as them, with no ripples in their hearts.
It was like fattened pigs waiting to be slaughtered during the Lunar New Year; their actions were already very skillful.
However, after returning to the Gu Residence, if anyone dared to say that Gu Yu was just a pretty boy who looked good but was useless, they would definitely cut the person’s throat to prevent them from spreading rumors and deceiving others.
If Gu Yu was a useless person, then they might as well die of shame and commit suicide.
“Great Gu, how much longer until Lianzhou?”
“Son-in-law, judging by our current speed, it will take about ten more days.”
“Ten days!”
While riding on horseback, Gu Yu rode his horse to Gu Da’s side and asked him about the remaining journey.
After hearing that there were still ten days left, Gu Yu thought for a moment. The time was sufficient.
It seemed that their speed was not slow.
“Ten more days! That’s too long. I wish I could arrive tomorrow.”
“I know you’re anxious, but this speed is already good. If we go any faster, the horses will likely be exhausted, and the gains will not outweigh the losses.”
Gu Qingheng, who was riding the same horse as the guards, pricked up his ears and heard that it would take ten more days to reach the Tang Sect. He pouted and thought time was too slow!
He wished he could fast forward to ten days later!
On Gu Yu’s side, while he understood his brother-in-law’s eagerness, he rationally did not agree to speed up the journey.
After all, it was about taking a sustainable development route!
“Enemy attack!”
Just as Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng were talking, a sharp-eyed guard spotted enemies appearing. Immediately, the group habitually pulled their horses, retreated a few steps, and directly pushed Gu Yu to the front, preparing to let Gu Yu’s miraculous medicinal powder display its power.
However, the assassins this time were different from the previous passive attacks. They actually shot arrows!
Unexpectedly… the assassins had learned to be smart. Gu Yu, who was placed at the very front, looked at the countless arrows flying towards him and wondered if he should retreat into his space to hide.
There was a distance between the assassins and Gu Yu, so Gu Yu still had time to think.
If he hid in his space, he could naturally avoid being injured, but how could he explain it to these guards?
Gu Yu didn’t want to be turned into a mountain spirit or a monster, which would then be spread by the guards.
While Gu Yu was considering these things, Mengyao Gu saw that Gu Yu was in danger, and her eyes widened in shock. Then, she raised her hand, took down the long spear tied to the victory hook from her horse, and directly rode her horse to Gu Yu’s side.
Immediately, Mengyao Gu wielded her long spear so tightly that there were no gaps. Before Gu Yu could react, all the arrows flying towards him were shot down to the ground.
When Mengyao Gu lowered her long spear, not only Gu Yu was stunned, but even the guards behind were looking at Mengyao Gu with dumbstruck faces, completely unaware that the eldest young lady of the Gu family was so powerful!
With just one long spear, she shot down all the arrows.
How strong must her spear art be…
“You guys, how dare you hurt my husband? You really think you’ve lived too long!”
However, after shooting down the flying arrows, Mengyao Gu did not stop.
After uttering the words in her mouth, Mengyao Gu directly urged the horse she was riding and charged towards the assassins who were shooting hidden arrows with her spear.
After that, the process was very bloody.
“Quick, quick, quick, cover Gu Qingheng’s eyes.”
When Gu Yu reacted, he hurried to ask the guards to cover Gu Qingheng’s eyes, not wanting his brother-in-law to see such a cruel scene.
Finally, when Mengyao Gu returned after killing all the assassins like cutting leeks, her face was still filled with anger. It was evident that she was still angry that these people dared to attack Gu Yu.
However, when Gu Yu saw his wife, who had avenged him, returning, his face immediately lit up like a flower, and he stepped forward, saying many sweet words to appease Gu Mengyao.
His little wife was truly amazing!
With one move, she was indeed extraordinary.
After Gu Yu coaxed Mengyao Gu into smiling again, the guards who had been silently following beside them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After the recent battle, these guards suddenly realized… the most dangerous person was not the son-in-law, but the eldest young lady of the Gu family!!!
Although Mengyao Gu looked harmless, her long spear was merciless. When she stabbed enemies, she killed one person with each thrust.
It seemed that the news from the battlefield was not false.
Such powerful combat strength was like a god who killed gods and a Buddha who killed Buddhas. Anyone who dared to disagree would be pierced through with a spear.
And to be able to appease such a powerful woman, besides his excellent medical skills, the son-in-law of the Gu family also deserved the title of a warrior!
“Mengyao, the way you rushed out just now was so cool! If I were a little girl, I would definitely fall madly in love with you!!!”
“Oh? So you don’t like me now?”
“How is that possible! I super love you now! With such a good wife, how could I not like you!”
“You’re just good with words.”
As Gu Yu and Mengyao Gu rode side by side, Mengyao Gu smiled and glared at him coquettishly after hearing Gu Yu’s mushy words, thinking when did her little husband become so glib, making her heart bloom with happiness!
Wait, Yu seems to have always been good with words, it’s just that he’s even more so now.
“Yu, don’t worry. Whether it’s next time or the time after next, as long as you are in danger, I will appear and shield you! So don’t be afraid. I will always be by your side, and no one will dare to harm you.”
“Mmm, I believe so. But, wife, these words are usually spoken by men…”
“Yu, you don’t know martial arts, so I naturally have to take care of you more. Don’t think too much about these things. Anyway, when I am in danger, you will save me like today, and that’s enough!”
“Okay.”
As they spoke, Gu Yu and Mengyao Gu couldn’t help but smile. If it weren’t for so many people watching, Gu Yu would have wanted to step forward and give her a kiss to express his inner joy and happiness.
Although he didn’t know how other men felt when they encountered a beautiful woman saving the hero.
However, after personally experiencing it, Gu Yu only felt one word: cool! His heart pounded wildly.
Thinking about how cool his little wife was!
Although Gu Yu had already fallen deeply in love with Mengyao Gu before, when the hidden arrows attacked and Mengyao Gu directly stood in front of him, Gu Yu fell in love with her again.
If a wife is like this, what more can a husband ask for!
…
“Sect Leader, people returning from the capital have sent word that they will arrive in five days. Should we send people to meet them?”
“Yes, remember! Take my confidantes with you and be careful not to let others take advantage of the situation.”
“Yes!”
In the Tang Sect, when Tang Haocang heard his subordinate’s report, he immediately made arrangements. When his subordinate received the order, he nodded and withdrew.
After his subordinate left, Tang Haocang waved away the servants attending in the room and prepared to be alone.
During this period, although people were sent to abduct the Gu family, Tang Haocang did not stop investigating.
As more and more information was uncovered, Tang Haocang’s heart grew colder.
Until the end, it was as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he couldn’t help but sigh, thinking that he was truly a failed Sect Leader, not even knowing about the traitors within the sect.
If he hadn’t investigated now, he would have remained in the dark.
Since Tang Haocang took over the Tang Sect more than ten years ago, he had managed the sect in an orderly manner, and had his hidden weapons and mechanisms sold everywhere, promoting the reputation of the Tang Sect.
Now, when people heard of the Tang Sect, who didn’t give a thumbs-up and praise it?
However, although Tang Haocang had made the Tang Sect flourish, some people within the sect had become dissatisfied. They were always looking for more power and wealth.
They even coveted the position of Sect Leader of the Tang Sect.
What shocked Tang Haocang even more was that the abduction of his youngest daughter, Tang Lian, seven years ago, was also orchestrated by people with ulterior motives.
Although he had always thought that even if his daughter was abducted and didn’t live well, she could at least preserve her life, now he thought…
Seven years ago, his daughter had probably already been killed by a traitor of the Tang Sect.
As Tang Haocang thought about this, his eyes couldn’t help but turn red. He blamed himself for being too young back then and not investigating in other directions.
If he had caught the killer of his daughter back then, his son probably wouldn’t have died tragically.
“Villain, if I can’t catch you, I, Tang Haocang, will never give up!”
He said hatefully. In his anger, Tang Haocang slammed the table, cracking the marble table. The cracks continued to spread with latent force, and finally, it shattered into pieces.
It seemed that the Sect Leader of the Tang Sect was not only skilled with hidden weapons but also had profound internal energy.
This was also one of the reasons why the Tang Sect traitor Jiang Wenguang did not make a move. Although he did not want to admit it, Tang Wenshi was a genius who inherited Tang Haocang’s talent. Although he was young and promising, he was not as powerful as Tang Haocang.
If he rashly attacked Tang Haocang, he might end up digging his own grave instead of stealing a chicken.
Even if he tried to poison Tang Haocang, as the Sect Leader, Tang Haocang was not only proficient in hidden weapons but also extremely sensitive to poisons.
He had tried poisoning him several times, but they were all discovered. After that, Tang Haocang immediately changed his food handlers to his own reliable people, making it impossible for Jiang Wenguang to succeed.
Therefore, after lurking for so many years, under the guidance of that person, Jiang Wenguang planned to obtain the secret manual of the Tang Sect’s hidden weapons and then defect to that person, which would be a great plan!
However, when his conspiracy was about to succeed, it was disrupted by Gu Yu and his family.
