Chapter 63 – What a martial arts fanatic wife!
Several days have passed since attending Chengfeng Shan’s wedding.
The capital city was calm and peaceful.
This made Gu Yu wonder if the news Li Ye had told him was true or not?
Upon hearing that there might be another war and that his little wife would be assigned to the battlefield again as a vice general, Gu Yu had been so busy these past few days that he could barely stand.
As for what he was busy with, it was naturally gathering all sorts of useful supplies.
Not to mention essential items like food, there were clothes, quilts, a pile of herbs, and all sorts of other miscellaneous items, which were almost tiring Gu Yu to death.
However, these things also had to be prepared in advance, otherwise, once on the battlefield, with nothing at all, even if Gu Yu had silver, he wouldn’t be able to buy anything.
This time, Gu Yu had already decided that he would go to the battlefield with Mengyao Gu.
No matter how hard it was, he wasn’t afraid.
Anyway, it was much better than being left alone at home!
As for his brother-in-law, Qingheng Gu, Gu Yu had subconsciously ignored him.
After all, with Mengyao Gu not by his side, Gu Yu felt like a plant that hadn’t been nourished by water for a long time, listless and unable to rally his spirits.
If it continued for a long time, there might even be signs of wilting!
“A’yu, what have you been busy with these past few days? I never see you in the mansion, even my father is curious?”
“I just went out to wander around and discuss cooperation matters with Chengfeng Shan and Maoyuan Tang. As you know, when they have business problems, they like to come to me for my opinion.”
“So that’s how it is!”
“Of course, don’t worry unnecessarily, it’s nothing.”
After Gu Yu collected hundreds of tables of meals from the restaurant, he returned to the Gu Residence with weak and powerless steps. Just as he was about to return to his room to rest, he bumped into Mengyao Gu on the way.
However, judging by Mengyao Gu’s posture, she seemed to have been lying in wait for a long time, just to catch Gu Yu.
This made Gu Yu smile wryly in his heart, thinking that he couldn’t explain what he was doing now, so he could only make up a lie to fool Mengyao Gu.
The things Li Ye told him were not confirmed to be true, and even if Gu Yu said them, it would only cause Mengyao Gu unnecessary worry, so it was better not to say anything.
He didn’t want his little wife to have a worried look on her face; it was better for her to look energetic like this.
It was also healing enough, making Gu Yu feel that his fatigue had lessened considerably.
“However, A’yu, your complexion is not good! Even if you’re busy, you have to take care of your body.”
Although Mengyao Gu did not doubt the truth of Gu Yu’s words, when she saw Gu Yu’s pale face, she still couldn’t help but mention it, asking Gu Yu to take care of his body.
Even though Gu Yu wanted to achieve something now, he couldn’t overexert himself.
One’s health is the capital for revolution.
“Yes, I will! However, after you said that, I do feel a bit tired, so it’s better to go back to my room and sleep for a while.”
“I’ll go back with you.”
Seeing Gu Yu speak with a somewhat pathetic tone, Mengyao Gu could only sigh helplessly, then reached out to support Gu Yu and took him to his room to rest.
Starting from tomorrow, she definitely had to watch Gu Yu carefully.
She couldn’t let him continue to toil, otherwise, his health would collapse.
Seeing how considerate his little wife was, Gu Yu couldn’t help but smile smugly where Mengyao Gu couldn’t see, thinking that pretending to be pitiful sometimes was quite effective.
At least, it allowed him to escape his wife’s nagging.
After Gu Yu was helped back to his room, he took off his outer garment, then lay on the bed, turning his head to look at Mengyao Gu, who was sitting beside him, thinking that he couldn’t sleep if his little wife didn’t stay.
However, that was what he thought.
But, in less than five minutes, Gu Yu had already fallen asleep from exhaustion.
Such speed made Mengyao Gu a little stunned, thinking that Gu Yu had never fallen asleep so quickly before.
It seemed he was really exhausted.
Just like now, when she poked Gu Yu’s nose with her finger, Gu Yu had a peaceful sleeping face, allowing Mengyao Gu to tease him as she pleased, without fear of Gu Yu suddenly waking up.
How should one tease a little husband?
Let’s give him a kiss!
…
“Mmm… I slept so soundly!”
After waking up from his sleep, Gu Yu lay on the bed, stretched out his arms, throwing off all his fatigue and regaining his vitality.
He had been too anxious before.
However, now that almost all the supplies had been collected, there was no need to be in such a hurry.
From now on, he just needed to take it slow.
What about his little wife?
Before he fell asleep, he saw Mengyao Gu sitting beside him. Could it be that after he fell asleep, Mengyao Gu went to practice her spear skills again?
What a martial arts fanatic wife!
Thinking these thoughts, Gu Yu no longer stayed in bed. He quickly put on his shoes, put on his outer garment, and walked towards the door.
Mengyao Gu liked to practice her spear skills in the courtyard, so Gu Yu didn’t have to go anywhere else to find her.
However, just as Gu Yu was thinking this, Mengyao Gu was not practicing her spear skills in the courtyard.
The courtyard was empty, not a single person in sight.
This made Gu Yu puzzled, not knowing where Mengyao Gu had gone.
If she wasn’t practicing her spear skills, maybe she went to chat with Gongsun Feifei, or went to the kitchen to try out new recipes. He would have to check these places!
After completing his collection mission, Gu Yu had nothing else to do, so he started searching the Gu Residence for his little wife, preparing to play a game of hide-and-seek, with him finding the hidden Mengyao Gu.
However…
After searching for a long time, Gu Yu still hadn’t found her.
Even Gu Qing and Gongsun Feifei were not in the mansion.
“Young Master, why are you here! The Master and Miss have already been summoned to the palace. I heard that another war is about to break out.”
“What???”
Just as Gu Yu was wondering where Mengyao Gu was hiding, a servant who passed by saw him and immediately exclaimed.
Then, what came out of his mouth made Gu Yu stunned. He really hadn’t expected that after just one nap, Linfeng Kingdom would be at war again???
This time, which country was it?
As Gu Yu thought about these things with some frustration, the servant didn’t know the specifics, so he couldn’t say anything. Gu Yu didn’t make things difficult for him and directly walked towards Gu Qing’s study.
Based on Gu Yu’s understanding of his father-in-law, after leaving the Imperial Palace, Gu Qing would definitely take Mengyao Gu into the study to discuss and plan their going to the battlefield.
Therefore, Gu Yu took out a small stool from his spatial dimension and sat in front of Gu Qing’s study to wait.
After an unknown amount of time, just as Gu Yu was becoming agitated by the sun, he finally heard the voices of Gu Qing and Mengyao Gu.
“This time is different from before, so I hope you will make a careful decision.”
“Now that the Emperor has issued an imperial decree, I have no choice but to go even if I don’t want to.”
“Alas! What is all this about! It was one thing for me to let you go to the battlefield last time, but since you had already resigned after returning, you shouldn’t be causing trouble! But now, to have you reinstated, do they think this is a game? If I had known something like this would happen, I would have let you all return earlier.”
“Father, don’t be angry. Since it has come to this, let’s discuss what to do next… A’yu? Why are you here? Weren’t you sleeping?”
Just as Mengyao Gu was persuading Gu Qing, she looked up and saw Gu Yu sitting in front of the study, and immediately asked in confusion, not expecting Gu Yu to have woken up already.
When Mengyao Gu was called away by Gu Qing, she saw Gu Yu sleeping soundly and thought he wouldn’t wake up so soon…
“Father-in-law, Mengyao, what happened? I heard from the servants that there’s another war?”
Seeing Gu Qing and Mengyao Gu finally return, Gu Yu couldn’t help but immediately ask what war it was, and which country was attacking Linfeng Kingdom this time!
Judging from Gu Qing’s words just now, it seemed the situation was quite serious.
It’s really worrying!
“This time, Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom are jointly attacking Linfeng Kingdom. I really don’t know what’s gotten into them. Linfeng Kingdom has always had peaceful relations with these two countries, but who would have thought they would attack at this time!”
“Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom…”
“It is precisely because these two countries have gathered their forces that the Emperor is very worried, so he has ordered Mengyao to go to the battlefield again under the guise of reinforcing the troops.”
As Gu Qing explained Gu Yu’s questions, his expression was not very good, clearly because Mengyao Gu had to go to the battlefield again, which made him very angry.
Even though Mengyao Gu’s performance on the battlefield was very heroic, even more so than men, earning continuous praise from those around her. Even though Mengyao Gu was a woman, she brought honor to the Gu family, which was truly excellent.
But in Gu Qing’s eyes, Mengyao Gu was his precious daughter, and he couldn’t bear to send her to suffer on the battlefield!
Last time, Gu Qing had seen the changes in his daughter on the battlefield. Gu Yu didn’t care about these things, but if it were another husband, he wouldn’t know how he would dislike her!
Gu Qing also wished his daughter could live such a stable life, seeing other people’s daughters all looking like virtuous young ladies, embroidering or chasing butterflies when they had nothing else to do.
As for the battlefield, it’s not like all the men in Linfeng Kingdom are dead…
“Father, I’ve said it’s nothing. Even though this time is more dangerous, I will protect myself well!”
“If you go to the battlefield, what will Gu Yu do? You’ll be separated again, not seeing each other for a long time? If Gu Yu gets charmed by another woman during this time, you’ll cry when you return from the battlefield!”
“…”
Although he knew that his father-in-law wanted to persuade his daughter, Gu Yu felt speechless when he heard his father-in-law’s analogy.
In his father-in-law’s heart, was his image that of a capricious playboy?
And Mengyao Gu, after hearing Gu Qing say this, couldn’t help but cover her mouth and smile, and then explained the situation to Gu Qing, saying that Gu Yu would absolutely not be charmed by other women.
“Father, A’yu is also going to the battlefield with me.”
“Yes.”
“What???”
After hearing what Mengyao Gu and Gu Yu said, Gu Qing’s eyes widened in shock. He had absolutely not expected… that Gu Yu would also go to the battlefield.
With Gu Yu’s fragile physique, Gu Qing was worried if he could withstand the harsh environment of the battlefield.
The battlefield was completely incomparable to the capital city.

Unexpectedly, I couldn’t update four chapters today either, so I’ll make it up tomorrow. My head hurts from typing.
