Chapter 77: Fortunately, I ran fast
After hearing Gu Yu’s words, Gu Mengyao knew her guess was indeed correct.
Given Gu Yu’s personality, he wouldn’t just sit around and wait for death.
Especially now that General Gongsun was assigning him to the patrol team, which was unbearable for Gu Yu.
“Yu, are you going by yourself?”
“Yes, that’s my plan… Now, Mengyao, you are training soldiers in the army, and you can’t leave here. But I’m in a闲职 (idle position), and no one will inquire about my whereabouts… If I don’t say anything, I can last for three days.”
“…”
Originally, Gu Mengyao planned to go to the enemy country’s stronghold with Gu Yu, but after hearing the words “training soldiers,” she sighed helplessly, thinking that having responsibilities really made one feel constrained!
Just like now, she couldn’t even leave the military camp with Gu Yu…
If she were discovered leaving without permission, the crime would be very serious.
However, if she explained the situation to General Gongsun, he would definitely not want Gu Yu to take risks, so she couldn’t tell him…
In that case, Gu Yu could only set off alone.
“Mengyao, I’ll be fine! At worst, if I encounter danger, I’ll just hide in my space, and I won’t get hurt at all! Instead of worrying about me, you should think about how unlucky the enemy country will be to have me personally visit their stronghold.”
“…Yu, I won’t say anything more! As long as you come back safely, remember that I’m waiting for you, and don’t act impulsively.”
“Don’t worry! I’ll come back safely. While I’m gone, Mengyao, please help take care of things in the military camp… In the beginning, I can have Shentu help me conceal it, but I can’t keep it hidden forever. It will be up to you then.”
“Yes, I will definitely hold on until you return.”
Fortunately, Gu Mengyao didn’t impulsively go with him. After finishing speaking, Gu Yu immediately took his little wife’s hand and promised her that he would return completely unharmed.
As early as when they formulated the plan to cause trouble at the enemy country’s stronghold, Gu Yu knew that only he would go this time.
He couldn’t let Gu Mengyao abandon these soldiers and follow him recklessly.
Although Gu Mengyao’s martial arts were very strong and could ensure her safety, she had other responsibilities on her shoulders.
Besides, Gu Yu wasn’t a weakling… Even without martial arts, with his space and medical skills, Gu Yu felt he wouldn’t have any problems.
He didn’t need Gu Mengyao to accompany him for everything; he could do it alone.
It was just a little lonely…
For these few days he would be away from the military camp, he wouldn’t be able to see his wife!
“Mengyao, don’t think about me these few days, I’ll be back soon! Although even if you don’t think about me, I will still think about you, but I don’t want you to be distracted from training soldiers, so please don’t think about me.”
“…”
“Really, don’t think about me. Even if I go to a dangerous place alone, it’s not a difficult task.”
“Okay, okay! Yu, after you leave, I’ll think about you ten times a day!”
Afterward, hearing Gu Yu say not to think about him, Gu Mengyao felt a mix of laughter and tears.
If Gu Yu’s expression were more sincere and he didn’t show that “you must think of me” look, it would be more convincing.
However, during Gu Yu’s absence these few days, Gu Mengyao felt she definitely wouldn’t be able to sleep.
It was always she who went to dangerous places like the battlefield; Gu Yu had never traveled far alone…
If it really didn’t work out, she would ask General Gongsun for leave.
The more she thought about it, the more worried she became!
“Ten times isn’t enough, you should think about me a hundred times to show sincerity!”
“…”
“Hehe, I’ll set off this afternoon. I’ll go tell Shentu later… using the excuse of going out to look for herbs, and ask Shentu to help me conceal it from General Gongsun. I believe he will do his best to keep it a secret! And I will return as soon as possible, so don’t worry.”
“Do you really not need me to accompany you?”
“No, and you can’t always accompany me.”
After shamelessly asking her to think of him a hundred times, the departure time was quickly settled. When Gu Mengyao asked with some concern, Gu Yu shook his head, indicating that it wasn’t that troublesome.
It wasn’t a big deal that required her company. Gu Mengyao should stay in the military camp and train soldiers well, preparing to deal with Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom later!
This time, he had to make these two countries feel the pinch.
…
Soon, it was time to set off. After Gu Yu told Shentu that he was going out to gather herbs, Shentu was very worried about it.
He wondered if Gu Yu should bring a few soldiers with him to provide some backup on the road, to avoid any accidents.
It wasn’t that Shentu was unnecessarily worried; with Gu Yu’s delicate body, what if he fainted on the road!
For a doctor as skilled as Gu Yu, if something happened to him, it would be a great loss!
When Gu Yu heard him suggest bringing soldiers, he directly shook his head, rejecting Shentu’s proposal, and stated that his current research was very important.
If it was successful, it would be a major breakthrough in medicine.
Therefore, any mistakes could not be made.
In other words… General Gongsun couldn’t know, otherwise, if he interfered, everything would turn into bubble.
For the future of the medical field, Gu Yu was willing to brave the danger alone.
After hearing Gu Yu’s explanation, Shentu was moved to tears!
This was a true great doctor!
Upon learning of Gu Yu’s firm resolve, Shentu also nodded in full agreement, promising to help Gu Yu conceal it well during this period and would absolutely not let anyone know he had left the military camp.
If other military doctors learned about this, they would definitely advise Gu Yu to think twice before acting, at least to report it to General Gongsun, so that it would be safer.
However, Shentu was different from others.
In order to research the rapid cutting and suturing of the human body, Shentu had dared to steal corpses back then. Now, hearing that Gu Yu was risking his life for medical skills, he felt empathy and became even more determined to help Gu Yu.
In medicine, there was a need for fresh blood like Gu Yu!
Thus, after easily dealing with Shentu, Gu Yu’s preparations were almost complete.
After writing a letter and asking Shentu to give it to Gu Mengyao, Gu Yu also left the military camp.
If he said goodbye to Gu Mengyao in person, even though it was only for a few days, it would still be very sad!
It was better to say goodbye through a letter!
Otherwise, he might not even want to leave.
Thinking about this, Gu Yu felt a little upset and decided that when he reached Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom, he would definitely vent his frustrations.
It was all because these two countries caused trouble that he had to work so hard!
…
Because he was sneaking out, Gu Yu didn’t dare to take the main road but chose a secluded small path to move quickly.
When he got tired, he directly released Xi Yang from his space, letting him use his lightness skill to carry Gu Yu along.
Before leaving, Gu Mengyao secretly helped Gu Yu steal a horse. She also took a map and told Gu Yu to take out the horse from his space as soon as he left the Linfeng Kingdom’s stronghold.
Then, after putting Xi Yang back into his space, Gu Yu mounted the horse and, following the route marked on the map, first headed towards Wuhe Kingdom.
Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom were stationed in two different places, not far from the Linfeng Kingdom’s stronghold. However, due to the treacherous terrain, Linfeng Kingdom did not dare to make any rash moves.
However, this was convenient for Gu Yu.
When he arrived at Wuhe Kingdom on horseback, it was already evening, and the sky had just darkened.
Thinking that it was a dark and windy night, Gu Yu decided to rest for a while and wait until deep into the night, when the soldiers of Wuhe Kingdom were all asleep.
It would be easier to act then.
This time, Gu Yu only wanted to provoke Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom and not kill them all directly.
If he killed people so hard, what would General Gongsun do!
Besides, now that Gu Yu was alone, even if Wuhe Kingdom had few soldiers, Gu Yu couldn’t kill them all.
Therefore, Gu Yu decided to start with their finances.
It could make the Wuhe Kingdom’s army feel the pinch and also replenish his own small treasury. It was a win-win situation and very cost-effective!
Thinking about this, Gu Yu put the horse back into his space, then walked toward the Wuhe Kingdom’s stronghold, preparing to go to the place first.
He could lie in ambush and save himself from danger while traveling at night.
“Hehe, I heard there’s a little fairy in town who sings folk songs beautifully, and her figure makes people drool! I’d gladly trade a year of my life for a night of pleasure with her!”
“Then drool! Women like that little fairy aren’t for us to enjoy. Only generals can have fun with them. You just endure it for a bit longer. After we conquer Linfeng Kingdom, we’ll be able to enjoy the women of Linfeng Kingdom.”
“Forget it. The women of Linfeng Kingdom are too fierce, I don’t dare to touch them! Last time I fought with Linfeng Kingdom, the woman on the opposite side with a long spear was right on target. Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would have been finished there.”
“That’s just an exception, it doesn’t count. The general has developed a new poison technique. If it’s deployed to the Linfeng Kingdom army, they will definitely have no antidote.”
As Gu Yu was rushing towards Wuhe Kingdom’s stronghold, he suddenly heard the conversation of two people approaching from afar. This made him quickly look around and find a hidden spot to hide.
Then, he heard these two talking about war.
Seeing that these two were soldiers of Wuhe Kingdom, Gu Yu didn’t hold back. He directly sprinkled a sleeping powder, letting it blow in the wind.
This was truly bringing him a pillow when he was sleepy!
Gu Yu had been wondering how to sneak in, but these two unlucky fellows delivered themselves to his doorstep.
Then he would accept them without politeness!
Afterward, while the two were talking, they suddenly rolled their eyes and fainted to the ground, completely losing consciousness.
Easily defeating his opponents, Gu Yu quickly stepped forward and directly took off the military uniform of one of them, put it on himself, and disguised himself as a soldier of Wuhe Kingdom.
Then, Gu Yu took out a dagger from his space and slashed each of their chests, ensuring they were dead, and then hid them in a hidden place.
After handling the bodies, Gu Yu, wearing the uniform of Wuhe Kingdom, tidied his clothes, and with a smile on his face, walked directly towards the Wuhe Kingdom’s stronghold.
