Chapter 74 The First Round Ends
The war came suddenly, and it also ended very suddenly.
At least, within a short time after Shen Tu returned to the military medical office, the expeditionary force had already returned.
And they brought back the good news of victory.
At the same time, Gu Yu also quickly slipped back to the military medical office, for fear of being discovered slacking off by Gongsun Jie.
“Divine Doctor Gu, why did it end so quickly?”
When Gu Yu sat down, the casualties in the army were still being counted, and the military medical office was not yet overwhelmed, so Shen Tu had time to chat with Gu Yu, asking what had happened on the battlefield.
If he had known it would end so quickly, he would have stayed to watch the excitement.
When Gu Yu heard Shen Tu’s question, he couldn’t help but think of his wife’s heroic and handsome figure, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
This made Shen Tu beside him look confused, wondering what Gu Yu was suddenly smiling about.
Could it be that something funny happened on the battlefield?
That’s not right! In such a serious place, how could anything funny happen?
Perhaps Gu Yu was very happy that Linfeng Kingdom had won this war.
“The opponent’s strength was too weak, they fled halfway through, so it didn’t take much effort, and Linfeng Kingdom won.”
“That simple?”
“Of course, did you think it would be difficult? Linfeng Kingdom is now strong and prosperous. The two small countries opposite are like mayflies shaking trees, completely ineffective, just wasting energy.”
“Even so, winning so easily always gives people a sense of unreality!”
After hearing Gu Yu’s words, because they were too brief, Shen Tu became even more curious about the war.
According to wars he had seen before, it took half a day to determine the outcome. Now that it ended so quickly, there must be some special reason.
“What’s unrealistic? My wife led the Spike Team in a charge, quickly disrupted the opponent’s battle formation, rendering them unable to exert their strength, and was killed with one spear, so it was naturally easy to win.”
“Is that so…”
Facing Shen Tu’s doubts, Gu Yu’s face was full of pride as he spoke, indicating that the war ended so quickly entirely due to his wife’s credit.
Gu Yu had just observed from the side and witnessed the beginning and end of the matter. If Gu Mengyao had not led the Spike Team to break through the opponent’s battle formation, the war would not have ended so quickly.
He had not witnessed the strength of the Spike Team before, but now that he had, Gu Yu understood a lot.
The individual abilities of the Spike Team were very strong. Once they formed a cohesive unit on the battlefield, they were like a sharp sword that quickly penetrated the enemy’s formation, directly creating a breach and starting the attack.
Gu Mengyao was like a sharp sword blade, leading the Spike Team unstoppable, impressively invincible for a time.
Even now, when he thought of his wife’s heroic appearance on the battlefield, Gu Yu’s heart couldn’t help but pound, and he had completely become Gu Mengyao’s fanboy!
His wife was too cool!
“However, it’s really insidious that Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom played dirty tricks from behind.”
“Dirty tricks?”
When Gu Yu casually uttered a sentence, Shen Tu heard it clearly. After he asked, Gu Yu thought that Shen Tu had gone through a lot of trouble for the common cold and it was good to know now.
“Regarding the common cold symptoms prevalent in the military camp, it’s not ordinary. Starting from your inability to fully cure it, it made me suspect…”
As the common cold gradually spread in the military camp, Gu Yu had already had some guesses, thinking if it was the enemy playing dirty tricks.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been impossible to cure such a common cold for so long, and it was getting worse and worse.
However, because there was no evidence, Gu Yu was too lazy to investigate, so he didn’t dwell on the matter too much.
But after the enemy launched the war this time, Gu Yu confirmed his thoughts.
The cold-like symptoms were a small trick played by the enemy in secret.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have chosen this time to attack.
Before, the enemy kept sending small teams of soldiers to harass them, probably to see if the soldiers of Linfeng Kingdom were sick!
When they sent people over last time, they might have seen someone infected with the common cold on the Linfeng Kingdom’s side, so they stopped for a while, waiting for the illness to spread throughout the military camp.
Then, they launched the attack today.
However, no matter how much they thought, they never expected… that Gu Yu, the unexpected guest, would jump out halfway and disrupt their plans directly.
Although the new type of common cold was difficult to deal with, Gu Yu didn’t have to rack his brains to find a solution. Instead, he directly took out the space spring water and gave it to the soldiers to drink for a few days, and they were immediately cured of all illnesses!
Therefore, after Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom launched the war today, they saw that the opposing soldiers were not only not bedridden with illness, but even looked refreshed, and their killing intent was very strong.
Making people suspect whether they were sick or not!
In short, the first round was over.
It ended with the failure of Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom, and then they waited for the second round to appear.
“My goodness! In that case, was the common cold brought by the enemy?”
“According to the current speculation, it is.”
After listening to Gu Yu’s analysis, Shen Tu’s face showed a look of shock. It was obvious that he didn’t expect… that this was the reason why the common cold was prevalent in the military camp.
However, when he thought of the inability to cure this disease, Shen Tu had no doubt about Gu Yu’s words.
Fortunately, Divine Doctor Gu came along this time. Otherwise, after the Linfeng Kingdom’s army encountered this kind of disease attack, it would probably not be easy to resolve.
It might even lead to the worst outcome.
When Shen Tu thought of the symptoms of the soldiers who were sick before, his eyebrows couldn’t help but furrow. Although the common cold had been cured by Gu Yu, this matter must be reported to General Gongsun!
Let General Gongsun understand that the common cold that had been prevalent in the military camp these past few days might be a trick played by the enemy.
“Military doctor Shen Tu, patients have already been sent over. Should we treat them now…”
“You guys handle it. Divine Doctor Gu and I are going out for a trip and will be back soon.”
Thinking of this, Shen Tu couldn’t sit still any longer. When his assistant asked, he immediately got up from his seat.
Then he pulled Gu Yu and went to Gongsun Jie together, preparing to report the matter completely.
Gu Yu did not object to this.
It was better for Gongsun Jie to be busy than for him and his wife to be tired.
…
“Mengyao, where are you going?”
After that, when Gu Yu just came out from Gongsun Jie’s place, he met Gu Mengyao who was in a hurry.
Then, Gu Yu quickly reached out to stop her and asked where his wife was going.
The war was over, and she should rest well!
At this time, Gu Mengyao had already washed up. After removing the bloodstains, she changed into a neat set of clothes, looking very refreshed.
However, although Gu Mengyao had changed her attire and did not look as imposing as she did on the battlefield in her military uniform, the murderous look in her eyes had not yet subsided.
Gu Yu didn’t care at all, knowing that it would take some time for Gu Mengyao to return to her original appearance.
It would be too unprofessional to be smiling and carefree on the battlefield.
Just like his wife, it showed professionalism!
Moreover, because of her identity as a woman, Gu Mengyao could not act as freely as men. Instead, she had to be steady and rely on her achievements to speak.
“I was thinking of going to the military medical office to see if there was anything I could help with… Ah Yu, why did you come from General Gongsun’s place?”
“It’s the reason for the common cold that I guessed before. Shen Tu found out about it and insisted on dragging me over to tell Gongsun Jie. Now that I’ve said everything I know, it’s just Gongsun Jie and Shen Tu talking in detail, and I’m not needed anymore.”
“So that’s how it is. Are we going back to the military medical office now?”
“No, there are several assistants over there. You know my bandaging skills; they are not as skilled as the assistants. I’m only good at studying medicinal principles… Besides, this war ended quickly, and there are not many injured soldiers. The assistants can handle it.”
Upon hearing Gu Mengyao’s words, Gu Yu quickly indicated that there was nothing busy at the military medical office, and it was fine if he didn’t go now.
Just kidding, his wife was already so tired, and she still had to treat others’ wounds! Gu Yu absolutely disapproved of such a thing.
However, the truth was as Gu Yu said, he was not good at treating wounds at all.
When Gu Yu left with Shen Tu before, he had left behind a lot of medicinal powder for treating wounds. Once the assistants used the medicinal powder on the injured soldiers, their wounds should recover well.
“Then…”
“Haven’t we eaten yet? Let’s go eat.”
“Mmm, Ah Yu, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten that I hadn’t eaten.”
Hearing Gu Yu’s suggestion that she not go to the military medical office, Gu Mengyao was a little at a loss about what to do next, not knowing where to go.
After repelling the enemy, Gu Mengyao had nothing to do, so she decided to help Gu Yu.
As a result, the military medical office did not need help.
However, Gu Yu’s immediate suggestion of eating made Gu Mengyao’s expression freeze, and then she remembered that she hadn’t eaten.
When she was strolling with Gu Yu before, she was planning to eat later, but unexpectedly… at this moment, war broke out, causing Gu Mengyao to fight on an empty stomach.
After a fierce battle, Gu Mengyao’s emotions were still in an excited state, so she forgot about hunger.
Now that she heard Gu Yu’s reminder, Gu Mengyao realized that she was already starving.
“Alas! If I weren’t here at the military camp, perhaps you would often forget to eat.”
“Wasn’t Lotus Sister here before? She always reminded me to eat, and now it’s you, Ah Yu.”
As Gu Yu shook his head and spoke helplessly, Gu Mengyao didn’t take it to heart, thinking that with her little husband reminding her, she wouldn’t forget to eat!
