Chapter 64: His Grandson is Coming Soon!
After hearing what Mengyao Gu said, Qing Gu really didn’t know what to say.
To say that Yu Gu and Mengyao Gu’s marital relationship was good…
It was really good.
But, wasn’t the battlefield a serious matter!
Yu Gu was as weak as a mung bean sprout, and if he were placed on the battlefield, he would be a live target!
Even as support staff, his small frame couldn’t do much…
So why did his daughter make such a decision???
“Father-in-law, please don’t worry, I won’t let Mengyao get hurt!”
“It’s not that. I mean…”
“Dad, don’t worry! Didn’t Yu already say it? He will protect me… Oh, right! We still have things to do, we’re going to be busy!”
Before Qing Gu could say anything else, Mengyao Gu pulled Yu Gu and quickly left, lest Qing Gu continue talking and give them a headache.
The matter of going to the battlefield had been decided long ago, and no matter what Qing Gu said, it could not change their decision.
Although Yu Gu looked weak, the real situation was only known to themselves.
Perhaps, they would still receive Yu Gu’s help in the future.
Yu Gu’s space alone was very powerful. If they didn’t take him, they would regret it!
“Yu, don’t mind what my dad said. When it’s time to set off, you’ll follow me.”
“Yes, even if you don’t let me go with you, I wouldn’t want to stay here.”
“How could you!”
After leaving Qing Gu’s sight, Mengyao Gu quickly said to Yu Gu, not wanting her little husband to overthink.
Her dad was really something, saying such things to Yu made him feel so bad in his heart!
Fortunately, Yu didn’t mind.
Just as Mengyao Gu breathed a sigh of relief, Yu Gu was indeed not angry.
Up to now, his abilities were still hidden from his father-in-law, so it was normal for Qing Gu not to believe him.
If it were him, he would also do the same.
Of course, it was also because Qing Gu was Yu Gu’s father-in-law… If it were someone else, Yu Gu would have retorted with mockery long ago.
However, he didn’t expect… the war to come so quickly!
In just a few days, Linfeng Kingdom had gone to war. Fortunately, Yu Gu was well-prepared, and even went to great lengths for it, which now paid off for his hard work.
Now, with a large amount of supplies in his space, Yu Gu felt secretly pleased just thinking about it.
“Mengyao, when are we leaving?”
“The two countries are aggressive, so the Emperor has ordered us to leave the capital tomorrow and head to the battlefield. Since time is tight, Yu, if you’ve rested enough, hurry up and collect supplies! Whatever you can get.”
After hearing Yu Gu’s question, Mengyao Gu immediately stated the departure date. Due to the urgency of time, they could only collect supplies as quickly as possible.
If Mengyao Gu had known that such a thing would happen, she would have asked Yu Gu to collect supplies earlier, and they wouldn’t be in such a hurry now.
But who could have predicted… that Linfeng Kingdom would suddenly go to war!
“Mengyao, don’t worry, I’ve already prepared everything.”
“???”
“On the day Single Chengfeng and Bai Lin Yue got married, Li Ye, the eunuch by the Empress’s side, came to find me, just to talk about this matter… he said that Linfeng Kingdom would have military operations recently, and at that time, you, wife, would also go to the battlefield as a deputy general.”
“So, after you came back, you hid it from me and collected supplies, tiring yourself out?”
When Yu Gu spoke proudly, Mengyao Gu’s face sank, and a storm seemed to be brewing in her eyes, changing the surrounding air pressure.
There was a sense of urgency like a storm approaching…
With such an obvious change, Yu Gu naturally couldn’t fail to notice.
And when his clever mind caught up, Yu Gu immediately guessed the reason and quickly explained, stating that he didn’t intentionally conceal it.
If his little wife got angry, the consequences would be very serious!
“Mengyao, because I wasn’t sure if the information was true at the time, I didn’t tell you to worry. After all, who knows if Li Ye was lying to me!”
“Even so, you shouldn’t have hidden it from me! These past few days, you’ve been collecting supplies alone, how tiring! If you had told me, you wouldn’t be so tired. At least I could have helped you share some of it.”
Listening to Yu Gu’s explanation, Mengyao Gu sighed helplessly, and then what came out of her mouth made Yu Gu nod repeatedly, showing a good attitude of admitting mistakes.
Whatever his wife said was right!
But it was precisely because of Yu Gu’s behavior that Mengyao Gu knew he would absolutely not change his ways.
It seemed she would have to keep a close eye on him in the future.
“Mengyao, let’s go prepare things now, don’t be angry. I definitely won’t do this again in the future!”
“You also know that it will make me angry…”
Finally, with Yu Gu’s witty banter, Mengyao Gu couldn’t stay angry anymore and had to pack things with Yu Gu.
Since Yu Gu had prepared everything in advance, what was called packing didn’t involve many things to take away.
It was just a show, taking some clothes and quilts, to serve as a cover.
…
The next morning, the Gu family became lively.
A group of servants busied themselves preparing for the expedition.
Unlike usual, this time it was not only Qing Gu who went to the battlefield, but Mengyao Gu also departed as a deputy general.
As the only female general in Linfeng Kingdom, this made everyone in the Gu Residence feel very honored.
Although Mengyao Gu was just a woman, she was not an ordinary woman.
Who had ever seen a woman who practiced martial arts all day long?
Moreover, just looking at her imposing aura when practicing martial arts made people feel incredibly intimidated, thinking that she was indeed chosen by the Emperor, so strong.
This was only at home, and if they thought about her valiant appearance fighting on the battlefield, it made people excited just thinking about it!
And as the object of everyone’s admiration… Mengyao Gu was now sitting on the carriage, leaning comfortably on Yu Gu’s shoulder, with her eyes gently closed to rest.
Perhaps it was the excitement before the expedition that made Mengyao Gu unable to sleep well last night, so she directly took her spear and went out to practice all night, only packing up to leave when dawn was breaking.
The consequence of not sleeping all night made Mengyao Gu a bit tired. Fortunately, now that she was traveling by carriage, she had a place to rest.
Seeing his little wife so tired, Yu Gu also felt a little distressed, thinking that he should have stayed up a little later last night and directly sprinkled some sleeping powder…
“Mengyao, Yu Gu, the troop is about to depart, have you both packed your things?”
“Everything is packed, we can depart now.”
Afterward, hearing his father-in-law’s voice from outside, Yu Gu quickly reached out and lifted the curtain of the carriage window, nodded at Qing Gu, indicating that they were ready and could depart at any time.
Although Qing Gu did not agree to Yu Gu going to the battlefield, he could not go against the stronger party. Seeing their determined look, he could only reluctantly agree.
With him and Mengyao there, Yu Gu should not be harmed.
However, Qing Gu glanced inside through the curtain and saw that Mengyao Gu was sleeping soundly. She hadn’t even woken up yet!
This made Qing Gu stunned for a moment, and then when he reacted, his gaze towards Yu Gu was filled with relief.
It seemed his grandson was coming soon!
However, he couldn’t let his daughter get too tired. They were still young, and there would be many opportunities to have children.
But he still wanted to hold his grandson as soon as possible…
Upon receiving his father-in-law’s complicated gaze, Yu Gu was a little confused. He didn’t understand why Qing Gu suddenly smiled brightly and then looked troubled.
This was too strange!
“Cough Cough, Yu Gu, you need to be careful. Although we haven’t reached the battlefield yet, there might be dangers on the road, so don’t let your guard down.”
“Yes, I know.”
“However, you don’t need to be too nervous. After all, there are so many soldiers, there definitely won’t be any danger.”
“…”
After a bizarre conversation with his father-in-law, Yu Gu watched Qing Gu leave with his hands behind his back, and a confused expression appeared on his face.
What stimulated his father-in-law?
Closing the curtain of the carriage window again, Yu Gu shook his head somewhat confusedly. Then, when he looked down at the sleeping Mengyao Gu, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he immediately knew why his father-in-law had that look just now.
He had definitely misunderstood!
However, Yu Gu couldn’t help but smile bitterly, thinking that it was still too early for Qing Gu to hold his grandson!
…
“Now, the war is about to begin, isn’t it!”
“Yes, sir.”
In a room filled with purple gauze, after a question was asked, someone immediately replied cautiously.
And after receiving a satisfactory answer, a figure on the bed, surrounded by layers of purple gauze, sat up from the bed, humming a song, looking very happy.
When he saw the purple gems placed in the center of the bed, his mood became even more cheerful.
It was so good to be able to live again!
Even though it was a hundred years ago here, it was no different from before his rebirth.
It was even better.
The treasure that was once cherished by the empress Bai Qian was now before him, and it was like destiny, telling him the path he should take.
Bai Qian had wanted to conquer all the countries, but unfortunately, she had a woman’s body, so even if she obtained the throne of Linfeng Kingdom, she could not achieve great ambitions.
A canary flying out of its cage, unable to find a suitable place to survive, could only return to the cage.
However, now there was him.
What Bai Qian failed to accomplish, he would take over.
“Sir, there is news from Linfeng Kingdom, the assassination attempt on the Gu family failed.”
“Where is the person?”
“They committed suicide by poison on the spot.”
“Alright, I know.”
However, his good mood didn’t last long.
After hearing the news of the failed assassination, he wasn’t too surprised. After all, if the Gu family members were killed, it would have ruined a lot of his plans with just this little ability, which would have been truly marvelous.
“Don’t make any moves next. Let’s see if Linfeng Kingdom can survive under the combined attack of the two countries… Also, which surrounding countries have not yet been infiltrated?”
“Reporting to sir, only Qingning Kingdom is left! According to the information from below, it will be captured soon!”
“Hmm, but don’t get too happy too soon. I won’t stop at these small countries… Don’t even think about escaping, farther countries.”
…
Sorry, the update is very late today… The reason is that the author wanted to use the dual-tone input method, which is said to be able to double the speed. As a result, after practicing all day, he couldn’t remember it, felt dizzy and wanted to vomit… He immediately switched back to full-tone input. In the future, it is estimated that he still cannot have four updates. (；へ：)
(Has anyone used dual-tone input? The author is still unwilling to give up.)
