Chapter 67: They are all restless.
After completely subduing the Spike Team, no one dared to underestimate Gu Yu anymore.
Unlike his seemingly fragile appearance, Gu Yu’s medicinal powder was truly awe-inspiring.
Even those who had some unspoken reservations before had allayed them by this time.
It was a joke; Gu Yu could make them all fall with a wave of his sleeve. If they pushed it further, they might not even know when they died!
Therefore, everyone reached a conclusion!
Gu Yu’s combat strength was very high, even more formidable than Mengyao Gu!
After all, no matter how skilled Mengyao Gu’s spear art was, it was only for one-on-one combat. While she could handle group attacks, it was still far inferior to Gu Yu’s medicinal powder.
This medicinal powder was truly an ultimate weapon!
When the enemy attacked, Gu Yu could simply scatter the powder and end the war immediately!
It seemed that the ‘Big Sister Gu’ was not only skilled in combat but also had an incredibly strong husband!
However, these people didn’t know… Gu Yu’s medicinal powder was also very expensive. If he scattered a handful of it during a war, it wouldn’t be eliminating enemies but throwing away gold.
Naturally, Gu Yu, who was protective of his silver, wouldn’t use his own savings to subsidize the public. So, battles would be fought as usual, and no one should expect him to contribute his medicinal powder for free.
Even if Linfeng Kingdom provided medicinal herbs, Gu Yu didn’t want to reveal the formula for this medicinal powder. Otherwise, it would be funny if he were to fall victim to his own medicinal powder in the future.
As for not disclosing the prescription, after seeing that the medicinal powder could influence the entire battle situation, Gu Yu didn’t believe the Emperor of Linfeng Kingdom would simply let him go.
He was sure that after draining his value, they would then let him go.
Gu Yu didn’t want to experience such a development at all!
Of course, if his wife were in danger on the battlefield, Gu Yu would directly use the medicinal powder to help.
If nothing else, he would prioritize bringing his little wife to safety first.
“A’Yu, your display just now seems to have won them over.”
After Mengyao Gu had driven away the soldiers, she spoke to Gu Yu.
When she saw the soldiers giving Gu Yu a hard time earlier, Mengyao Gu was very worried, thinking that her husband had a bad temper and if he were to get truly angry, these soldiers would suffer…
If Gu Yu knew what Mengyao Gu was thinking, he would probably be extremely frustrated, feeling sad that his little wife wasn’t worried about him but about others.
However, even if he knew, Gu Yu wouldn’t do much.
At most, he would use more medicinal powder on these soldiers to let them experience its potent effects.
Therefore, these soldiers who left with smiles should consider themselves lucky to have escaped a harsher fate.
“Haha, how could they not be convinced! My medicinal powder is very powerful. If they dare to provoke me again, I wouldn’t mind letting them try other kinds of medicinal powder.”
“Don’t be too harsh, these soldiers are quite good. Tomorrow, when training them, I’ll let you see their performance.”
Upon hearing Mengyao Gu’s words, Gu Yu immediately became proud. While speaking, his expression was smug, making Mengyao Gu smile helplessly, thinking that A’Yu was quite childish at times.
Just incapacitating a group of soldiers and he was already so pleased…
However, she couldn’t let Gu Yu have a bad impression of the Spike Team, as both parties were valued by Mengyao Gu, and she didn’t want any conflict between them.
“Don’t worry, I know my limits. If I didn’t, I would have directly used laxatives and itch powder, why would I only let them take a short nap!”
“It’s good that you know. The military camp is not like other places. It’s best not to make mistakes, otherwise, you’ll be scolded by the Great General and even punished.”
“Ah? Wife, were you punished by Gongsun Jie?”
Gu Yu was not foolish. He naturally understood the meaning behind Mengyao Gu’s words and quickly explained that he had no ill intentions towards the Spike Team; otherwise, he would have dealt with them more severely. Why would he stop at sleep-inducing powder?
After hearing Gu Yu’s explanation, Mengyao Gu nodded. Then, what came out of her mouth made Gu Yu frown slightly. He almost forgot that the military camp was a very strict place.
Gongsun Jie, that guy, had previously looked down on Mengyao Gu and her brother. He wondered if he had made things difficult for Mengyao Gu before.
“No! Because I’ve always followed the rules, I’ve never made any mistakes. After achieving many merits, General Gongsun even praised me in front of all the soldiers.”
“…Is that so!”
However, the fact that Mengyao Gu revealed next was something Gu Yu did not expect… Gongsun Jie actually praised Mengyao Gu. It was truly as if the sky was about to rain knives!
Gu Yu didn’t believe Gongsun Jie was a good person who could accept Mengyao Gu so quickly.
“A’Yu, don’t overthink it. Although General Gongsun previously acted as if he disliked me, his attitude has changed significantly after I’ve been in the army for a long time. At least he treats me equally and hasn’t treated me unfairly.”
“Mm, as long as you are not harmed, I won’t bother with others. Being directly assigned here by the Emperor was unavoidable, so we can only stay here until the war ends before returning to Yang Family Village.”
“Yes, I wonder if the messenger has delivered the letter back to Lian Town. If Qingheng knows we’ve returned to the battlefield, he’ll surely be very unhappy!”
“Mmm… Although there will be a sense of sadness upon parting, I think Qingheng will be happy. Because when I’m not home, his meals have improved quite a bit.”
Upon hearing his younger brother-in-law’s name, Gu Yu immediately advised Mengyao Gu not to worry. Just as Gu Yu said, Gu Qingheng, who was staying at Qingshan Academy, was probably beaming with joy inside, finally not having to eat the same food for extended periods.
Even though Gu Yu had heard his younger brother-in-law’s complaints before, at that time, he was worried about Mengyao Gu, who was on the battlefield, causing him to be absent-minded in everything he did. Therefore, he just made do with his meals, as long as he didn’t starve.
However, if the war could be resolved quickly, that would be very good.
At least he wouldn’t have to squeeze into a military camp full of men, and even worse, endure the inexplicable gaze of his father-in-law, which made Gu Yu feel extremely frustrated!
Just like now, his father-in-law was looking over again!
“Mengyao, let’s go back to our residence and rest. Traveling has been very tiring, and you have to train soldiers tomorrow!”
“Mhm, okay.”
Upon sensing his father-in-law’s gaze again, Gu Yu quickly said to Mengyao Gu, attempting to escape his father-in-law’s persistent stare.
No matter how much he looked, he couldn’t magically produce a grandson!
When Mengyao Gu heard Gu Yu’s words, she immediately nodded, indicating that she indeed needed to rest well and regain her strength.
“Gu Yu, General Gongsun has ordered that you be transferred to the Military Medical Office. Come with me now to take a look, so you don’t have trouble finding it tomorrow.”
However, Gu Yu’s plan to rest was still thwarted.
Because at this moment, a soldier directly approached him and stated that Gu Yu couldn’t eat for free in the military camp and had to report to the Military Medical Office.
This made Gu Yu even more upset upon hearing it.
He originally thought that upon arriving at the military camp, he could spend time affectionately with his wife. But who knew… now he was being sent away, it was truly annoying!
“A’Yu, hurry and go!”
“But I don’t know where the residence is…”
“Please rest assured, I will bring you back.”
“…”
Just as Mengyao Gu also urged Gu Yu to go, Gu Yu uttered a complaint. He originally wanted Mengyao Gu to accompany him, but the soldier standing beside them interjected, stating that he would bring Gu Yu back safely.
At this point, Gu Yu had nothing more to say.
He could only wave goodbye to Mengyao Gu and obediently follow the soldier towards the Military Medical Office to see what his future work environment would be like.
It was truly unexpected… After arriving on the battlefield, he wouldn’t be wasting any time at all and would instead be treating people’s illnesses and injuries.
Fortunately, the war hadn’t broken out yet, so the Military Medical Office wasn’t busy with anything. It was just minor ailments like headaches and colds, none of which required Gu Yu’s intervention.
“Gu Yu? Why are you here?”
“Shen Tu! I was about to ask, why did you also come along with the army!”
As Gu Yu was touring the Military Medical Office, upon seeing Shen Tu emerge from the room, both of them showed expressions of surprise, clearly not expecting to meet again in this place.
During the previous war between Linfeng Kingdom and Luoluo Kingdom, due to Gu Qing’s injury, Gu Yu and Mengyao Gu had gone to the battlefield. Not only did they treat Gu Qing, but they also burned down the granary of the Luoluo Kingdom army, thereby ending the war prematurely.
In the process, Gu Yu got to know Shen Tu, a military doctor.
Although the process wasn’t pleasant, it didn’t mean the outcome was as well. After witnessing Gu Yu’s impressive medical skills, Shen Tu had become a devoted fan of Gu Yu.
He served him diligently, always ready to assist.
Speaking of Shen Tu, his knife skills were truly excellent, his techniques were so skilled and precise that they reached the level of a surgeon.
Especially after obtaining Gu Yu’s anesthetic powder, he became even more formidable, bringing life to many severely injured soldiers.
Such Shen Tu was also highly acclaimed in the military camp, making him feel needed and significantly improving his mood.
When he was happy, his previously gloomy demeanor also changed.
This made Gu Yu unable to react immediately upon seeing him, thinking, “This is Shen Tu!”
In conclusion, Gu Yu had no ill feelings toward him, and meeting him again in the Military Medical Office made Gu Yu exceedingly happy.
The reason was simple: Shen Tu had been in the military camp for a longer time, and he could ward off the probes of many difficult characters. Moreover, Gu Yu could even push his own work onto Shen Tu, which was perfect!
And Shen Tu’s expression was also very happy upon seeing Gu Yu, thinking that he had finally found Gu Yu!
Perhaps Gu Yu had already researched an upgraded version of the anesthetic powder!
He and the knives in his hands were already restless!
