My Wife is the World’s Greatest Divine Martial General – Chapter 391

Chapter 69: Wild Melon

Facing Wang Nian’s accusations, Gongsun Jie did not question Gu Mengyao because of him. Instead, he was very dissatisfied that Wang Nian was pointing fingers at others in front of him.

Originally, Gongsun Jie did not think highly of Wang Nian because the Emperor disliked the Wang Clan.

Previously, the Emperor had repeatedly told Gongsun Jie that even if Gu Mengyao were to take over the position of Great General in the future, the Wang clan should not benefit. This was to prevent them from gaining too much power and causing trouble in Linfeng Kingdom again.

Although Gongsun Jie always stayed at the border defending the city, he was aware of what was happening in the imperial court. When he heard the Emperor say this, he naturally understood that the Emperor was worried about the Wang Clan gaining power and disrupting the court. Therefore, even if the descendants of the Wang Clan performed exceptionally well, it would not change anything. Not to mention, Wang Nian, who was standing in front of him now, did not look impressive at all.

Looking at Gu Mengyao standing beside him, despite being criticized by Wang Nian, her expression remained unchanged. Seeing this, Gongsun Jie repeatedly nodded inwardly, becoming even more satisfied with Gu Mengyao. Just her composed demeanor in this situation made people look highly upon her.

“This is the military camp, how can you be so boisterous like a jumping clown! If you dare to point fingers at me again, you won’t have to stay here anymore. Just get back to the capital.”

“General, your subordinate knows his mistake.” After Gongsun Jie spoke, he did not say anything to Gu Mengyao but directly reprimanded Wang Nian. His stern words immediately made everyone present subconsciously stand at attention, not wanting to become a target at this moment. Fortunately, Wang Nian was the first to step out; otherwise, they would have been unlucky!

Wang Nian, upon hearing Gongsun Jie’s words, did not dare to retort. He could only dejectedly lower his head and admit his mistake. However, Wang Nian’s face was full of resentment as he lowered his head, thinking that he was not wrong at all. It was clearly Gu Mengyao who drugged them, yet Gongsun Jie actually scolded him. It seemed that because Gu Qing and Gu Mengyao were father and daughter, Gongsun Jie was giving Gu Mengyao special treatment!

“Gu Mengyao, where were you yesterday?”

“Replying to the General, your subordinate was tired from the journey and returned directly to my residence without going out again.”

“Why do they have symptoms of diarrhea, but you are completely fine?”

Afterwards, Gongsun Jie did not shield Gu Mengyao but directly questioned her, intending to thoroughly investigate the matter. If the mastermind behind this incident, which happened just one day after these deputy generals arrived at the military camp, was not found, how could it ever be resolved in the future! Even if it was to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, the culprit had to be found! Therefore, Gu Mengyao, the only one standing among the new deputy generals, naturally became the breakthrough point for Gongsun Jie to find clues and see who actually drugged people in the military camp.

“I don’t know…”

“General Gongsun, I have something to say.”

“Oh? What is it, speak.”

Just as Gu Mengyao was about to answer that she didn’t know, Gu Yu suddenly spoke up, wanting to say something to Gongsun Jie. Gongsun Jie did not refuse upon hearing this and let Gu Yu speak directly. Ever since Gu Yu arrived at the military camp, Gongsun Jie’s attitude towards him had been very good. The reason was none other than Gu Yu’s excellent medical skills, which were extremely useful during wartime, especially in the military camp! Even all the deputy generals like Wang Nian combined were not as useful as Gu Yu.

Originally, Gongsun Jie thought Gu Yu was just an ordinary son-in-law who lived with his wife, but who knew that he had hidden such superb medical skills! Although Gu Yu was young, his medical skills were indeed amazing. Even something like Mafeisan was obtained from Gu Yu by Shen Tu. If it weren’t for the army doctor Shen Tu highly recommending Gu Yu’s medical skills, Gongsun Jie probably wouldn’t have known that Gu Yu possessed such abilities.

After Gongsun Jie sent people to investigate, the results were the same as what Shen Tu had said… Although Gu Yu had treated many patients in the military camp before, Gongsun Jie was fighting on the front line at that time and did not return, so he was unaware of the events in the military camp. Now that he knew these things and saw that Gu Yu had come along, Gongsun Jie naturally treated him very well.

“Before Deputy General Gu returned to his residence to rest, Wang Nian and other deputy generals came to find her and said many unpleasant things in public. Many soldiers can testify to this.”

“Even so, what does it have to do with us being drugged?”

“How can you be so sure that you were drugged, rather than eating something that caused an upset stomach?”

Upon hearing Gu Yu’s words, Wang Nian could no longer pretend and spoke indignantly, stating that even if they had troubled Gu Mengyao, it had nothing to do with being drugged. Gu Yu was trying to change the subject by saying these things.

When Gu Yu heard Wang Nian’s words, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, then pointed a finger at him, saying that Wang Nian was thinking too little. Was there evidence that he was drugged? No. For now, Wang Nian was just guessing. However, everything requires evidence. Without evidence, even if Wang Nian talked until the sky fell, it would pose no threat to Gu Mengyao. However… Gu Yu had evidence.

“General Gongsun, if I heard correctly, after Deputy General Gu left yesterday, Wang Nian and other deputy generals did not return to their residences immediately. Instead, they patrolled around the military camp and ate melon fruits growing outside the camp on the way.”

“Wild melons, so what if we ate them!”

“It’s nothing… but, that is the Gulanxi melon. Although it tastes good, when paired with Taichu green tea from the capital, it will cause continuous diarrhea.”

Gu Yu gave Wang Nian a big smile, and the words that came out of his mouth immediately stunned everyone around. They never expected that the cause of the diarrhea was eating melon and drinking tea! Even Gongsun Jie was very surprised upon hearing this answer. Originally, when he heard Wang Nian and the others troubling Gu Mengyao, Gongsun Jie thought that Gu Yu was the one who did it… After all, with Gu Yu’s medical skills, it was incredibly easy to just make a few people have diarrhea. However, hearing Gu Yu’s words now completely cleared him of suspicion.

“This… how is this possible? I don’t believe it! You must be lying!”

“Whether I’m lying or not, we can try it!”

Then, when Wang Nian shook his head and expressed disbelief, Gu Yu did not get angry. Instead, he shrugged at him and indicated that true gold is not afraid of fire. Since he didn’t believe it, they could try it! Gu Yu’s confident expression, as if he was very sure of what he was saying, made everyone present believe him halfway. However, Wang Nian and the other deputy generals did not believe it. Just eating a melon could cause such a thing! Therefore, upon hearing Gu Yu say that they could try, they immediately looked at Gongsun Jie, hoping that the Great General would make a decision at this time. They truly didn’t believe that they were that unlucky…

Gongsun Jie, after receiving the gazes of Wang Nian and the others, did not refuse. He also wanted to know the outcome of the matter. When he sent someone to pick some melons, he originally wanted to select a few soldiers to try, but Gu Yu stopped him, citing it as too cruel, and instead asked them to select a big rooster as a test subject. Gu Yu’s suggestion was not unreasonable, so Gongsun Jie readily agreed.

Afterwards, when a rooster was brought from the kitchen, the soldier broke the Gulanxi melon and fed it to the rooster, then poured Taichu green tea down its throat. Then, after waiting for five minutes, the rooster began to defecate uncontrollably… This immediately made Wang Nian and the others’ faces change. The facts were now before them and could not be refuted. Their continuous diarrhea was due to their own bad luck.

After finding the real reason, Gongsun Jie’s doubts were resolved. He then looked at Wang Nian and the others with stern eyes, very disappointed in their actions today. Slandering others without evidence, and even openly forming factions in the military camp to bully others…

“The incident that happened today has been investigated. The cause was initiated by yourselves. Even if you suffer from continuous diarrhea, you cannot blame others. But you will be responsible for delaying the training of soldiers.”

After hearing Gongsun Jie’s words, Wang Nian and the others’ faces turned ashen, thinking that they were truly unlucky. To be punished just after arriving at the military camp, it was indeed too unlucky! Gu Yu watched the entire process with a smile. Upon hearing that Wang Nian and the others would have to run laps and complete tasks like carrying water when they recovered, he felt extremely pleased.

Gu Yu dared to act, so he wouldn’t leave any flaws for himself. Just like the laxative this time… Before drugging Wang Nian and the others, Gu Yu had already thought of a solution… After inquiring and understanding Wang Nian’s movements, he then chose a target to take the blame. Just like this Gulanxi melon, Gu Yu had never heard of this name before and had never seen a blue-skinned melon. But considering that this was a fictional dynasty, there was no need to be surprised if there were colorful melons. And the combination of Gulanxi melon and Taichu green tea causing diarrhea was also made up by Gu Yu…

As for the rooster constantly defecating, it was because Gu Yu had sprinkled medicinal powder in the melon patch in advance. After ensuring that every melon was evenly coated, Gu Yu returned to rest. It was also because the medicinal powder sprinkled on the melon patch had been tampered with that it created the false impression of incompatibility with Taichu green tea. However, the effect was a bit too strong. Seeing the miserable state of Wang Nian and the others today, Gu Yu thought that multiple adjustments would be needed to produce a satisfactory final product!

After seeing the matter resolved so easily, Gu Mengyao looked at Gu Yu with surprise, and then admiration gradually welled up in her eyes, as if marveling at how strong Gu Yu was! Before, when Gu Yu said there was no problem, Gu Mengyao was still wondering how he would handle it. Who knew that he had resolved the matter effortlessly. Gu Yu accepted his wife’s admiring gaze without any humility and, when no one else was paying attention, displayed a triumphant smile. Want to bully his wife? Then be prepared to be finished.
