Chapter 39 – Lin feng Kingdom’s First Female General
Guo Lin was once an upright constable, but after his position rose slightly, his life underwent a earth-shattering change.
After a period of corruption and bribery, the sweetness of it became completely addictive, and he then embarked on an incorrect path one after another.
After accepting Jiang Wenguang’s commission, simply arresting a group of outsiders and throwing them into prison was a piece of cake for Guo Lin, with no difficulty whatsoever.
However, that was just an assumption.
When it was time to arrest Gu Yu and his companions, Guo Lin discovered that things were not quite right.
This young man called Gu Yu, did he have a mine at home, or did he have a mine at home, to be able to smash people with gold!!!
This new method of showing off wealth not only shocked Guo Lin, but also the constables beside him and the surrounding onlookers, who couldn’t help but widen their eyes. Afterwards, when they forced themselves to shift their gaze from the gold to the young man’s face, they found him smiling arrogantly.
After attacking the constables, to still have such an arrogant attitude was truly amazing.
“Who are you, to dare to attack me! Guards, escort this guy to prison.”
“Hmph, who dares to move me.”
“Who wouldn’t dare, unless you are… this, this is an Iron Scroll!!!”
After being hit on the head with a gold bar, and as the constables were about to arrest Gu Yu, Gu Yu didn’t hesitate at all and directly produced the Iron Scroll bestowed by the Emperor, letting these guys have a good look to their heart’s content.
And when Guo Lin saw the Iron Scroll, he was completely unable to suppress his astonishment.
This young man actually possessed an Iron Scroll!
How great was his background!
It is known that those who have received the imperial grace to obtain an Iron Scroll… were mostly those who had made great contributions, and it was very rare for someone as young as Gu Yu.
As for doubting the authenticity of the Iron Scroll, unless Gu Yu wanted to exterminate his entire clan, he wouldn’t have knowingly violated it…
Moreover, the merits recorded on the Iron Scroll were well-founded and irrefutable, leaving no room for falsification.
Therefore, they had kicked a steel plate this time!
Thinking this, Guo Lin subconsciously lowered his head to look at the gold bar in his hand, and when he saw the patterned seal carved at the bottom of the gold bar, his hand holding the gold trembled, and he almost threw the gold bar directly away.
After the Iron Scroll, and then the imperial bestowed gold bar, who exactly was this Gu Yu!
Jiang Wenguang actually asked him to deal with such a person, it was as if he wanted to die and drag him along!
What a bastard!
“This humble one had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai, and has actually misunderstood you, sir. It is truly due to my poor eyesight! I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold it against me.”
“Hmph, you just wanted to arrest my wife, do you know who she is?”
“This humble one does not know…”
After realizing the situation was not good, Guo Lin quickly waved his subordinates to retreat, while putting on a fawning smile, trying to appease this master and not hold it against him.
He was also deceived by that damned Jiang Wenguang!
If he had known that the other party was so difficult to deal with, even with more benefits, Guo Lin would not have come!
At this moment, Gu Yu smiled slightly at Guo Lin, and the words that came out of his mouth did not develop as Guo Lin had guessed. Instead, he pointed towards Gu Mengyao, as if his wife had an extraordinary background, which made Guo Lin instantly confused.
The background of this young man was already quite significant, could it be that his wife was even more formidable?
How could that be, she was just a woman after all.
No matter how great, could she be royalty?
The royal bloodline was thin, and the youngest among them was the emperor who had already ascended the throne, how could another one pop out!
“You don’t know anything, yet you dare to come and arrest people. You really don’t know whether to say you are too bold or ignorant. Listen carefully, my wife Gu Mengyao has been personally appointed as Vice General by the Emperor. In terms of official position, she is superior to you.”
“…”
“If you don’t even know this, then you must have heard of Linfeng Kingdom’s first female general!”
When Gu Yu spoke of his wife, his pride was unconcealable.
Even though Gu Mengyao had already resigned, she was indeed personally selected by the Emperor as a Vice General and had fought on the battlefield.
Having such a formidable wife made him feel extremely proud!
Which wife could become a female general!!!
None at all, alright!
When showing off like this in front of others, Gu Yu wished that everyone knew… Hearing this, Gu Mengyao couldn’t help but shake her head helplessly, but she still re-sheathed her long saber and then walked over to stand beside Gu Yu.
And when Guo Lin heard Gu Yu’s words, and saw Gu Mengyao walk in front of him, his legs trembled slightly, thinking that he was truly unlucky to the extreme.
Not only did he have a young man with imperial bestowed items, but now a female general had appeared. Was he still going to let him live!
Upon hearing the news of Linfeng Kingdom’s first female general, Guo Lin immediately knew Gu Mengyao’s identity, as this title was too resounding, making people know about related information even if they had never met her.
“So it’s Vice General Gu, this humble one is truly impolite!”
“Ignorance is no crime, but can we leave now? The Sect Leader of the Tang Sect is still waiting for us, we can’t keep him waiting for too long.”
Unlike Gu Yu, Gu Mengyao did not want to delay here for too long. It was better to hurry to the Tang Sect as soon as possible, and there was no need to fuss too much with these constables here.
It was also possible to rescue Xia Tian as soon as possible, to avoid any mistakes.
“Naturally, you can. We will escort you to the Tang Sect and guarantee that no further accidents will occur midway.”
Guo Lin, who originally thought he was doomed, did not expect Gu Mengyao to be so accommodating. He immediately looked as if he had received a great pardon, thinking that he had indeed met a kind Bodhisattva who saved him from worrying about his life.
Therefore, Guo Lin then patted his chest to guarantee it, and did not delay any further. He quickly requisitioned several carriages to transport people rapidly to the Tang Sect.
And Gu Yu, seeing that his little wife had spoken, didn’t say much more. He had already gotten his fill of showing off in front of others.
As a kind person like him, how could he make things difficult for others without reason!
Although, Gu Yu had indeed wanted to extort them just now…
Afterwards, with government soldiers clearing the way, everything went smoothly without any unobservant assassins appearing, and Gu Yu and his party successfully arrived at the Tang Sect.
“To protect Vice General’s safety, we will follow along as well…”
“What are you following for? If you want to express your loyalty, guard here!”
When Gu Yu and his party got out of the carriage, and Guo Lin opened his mouth to say that he wanted to go to the Tang Sect together, Gu Yu immediately said with a look of disdain.
Hearing this, Guo Lin, although unwilling to lose this opportunity to show his favor, did not dare to retort.
Gu Yu was not as easy to talk to as Gu Mengyao, and if he angered him, it would be terrible.
Therefore, Guo Lin and the other government soldiers remained at the entrance of the Tang Sect, while Gu Yu and his party, led by Mi Shu, walked towards the place where the Sect Leader resided, preparing to meet Sect Leader Tang Haocang.
“Brother-in-law, that Jiang Wenguang is still plotting against us and dares to attack us at this time. If we deal with him later, don’t show any mercy.”
“Do you think… your brother-in-law is a person who shows mercy?”
“No.”
“Then it’s settled, don’t worry too much, you’ll see Xia Tian soon.”
As they walked forward, Gu Qingheng specifically came to Gu Yu’s side. When he mentioned Jiang Wenguang’s name, his voice was full of anger, clearly feeling that if it weren’t for this guy causing trouble everywhere, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.
Sister Xia Tian wouldn’t have been kidnapped!
Although the Sect Leader of the Tang Sect was hateful, Jiang Wenguang wouldn’t escape either!
And Gu Yu knew that his younger brother-in-law had been able to endure until now solely by missing Xia Tian. Now that he was about to see Xia Tian, Gu Qingheng could be considered to have fulfilled his wish.
“Brother Gu, the Sect Leader once instructed… as a gesture of sincerity, he will return the previously kidnapped person. We hope Brother Gu will understand. After all, both sides have only one enemy, and now we must work together.”
“Where is the person?”
Afterwards, Mi Shu, who had been leading the way, suddenly said something. It seemed that he wanted Gu Yu not to embarrass the Sect Leader as soon as he entered, and to deal with Jiang Wenguang first.
After seeing and hearing along the way, Mi Shu had only guessed before, but now he could confirm it.
A person like Gu Yu would definitely retaliate against the Sect Leader!
Unless the Sect Leader could offer corresponding benefits to avoid disaster by paying money.
Fortunately, apart from the initial hostage-taking of Gu family members, there were no other actions. Compared to Jiang Wenguang, who was unforgivable, the situation with the Sect Leader was already very good.
Otherwise, with the abilities of Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao as a couple, they wouldn’t be satisfied unless they turned the Tang Sect upside down.
Thinking of this, Mi Shu couldn’t help but shrink his neck. Then, without delay, he directly clapped his hands, and two burly men brought Xia Tian in front of Gu Yu.
“Brother Gu, Sister Mengyao… Brother Qingheng, why are you here!”
When Xia Tian saw Gu Yu and his companions, there was a hint of surprise on her face, clearly not expecting Gu Yu and the others to chase after her here.
However, this also deeply touched Xia Tian.
After she was kidnapped, the Gu family could come to the Tang Sect together to save her, which showed that they regarded her as a true family member.
This made Xia Tian’s eyes turn red, and she felt like crying.
After Xia Tian was kidnapped, she herself hadn’t changed much, but her little face had become a bit plumper. It was likely that the food at the Tang Sect was quite good.
“Sister Xia Tian, you have suffered.”
And Gu Qingheng, upon seeing Xia Tian, immediately took a few steps forward and quickly approached Xia Tian. Then, the words that came out of his mouth were filled with longing.
The journey of traversing mountains and rivers, for Gu Qingheng, a child of only ten years old, was undoubtedly very arduous.
However, Gu Qingheng only thought of rescuing Xia Tian in his heart, and this belief supported him until now.
Now that he had finally seen Xia Tian, Gu Qingheng felt relieved.
