Chapter Eighty-Two: Gu Yu Is Perhaps the Embodiment of Frailty
After returning to the Linfeng Kingdom’s encampment, Gu Yu felt an immediate sense of relief.
Although playing pranks in the enemy’s encampment was fun, Gu Yu wasn’t entirely satisfied as he wanted to resolve things quickly.
Next time, he should bring his little wife along.
Then they could do more things together ❤.
“A’Yu, are you sure they will attack us?”
“They will definitely come. If the Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom remain inactive, I’ll just go there again.”
“…”
“It was actually quite easy, with no danger at all. I even had a good chat with the soldiers in the enemy camp, so I won’t feel any pressure even if I sneak in again.”
After Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao had a moment of intimacy, Gu Mengyao finally asked about the results and whether she could force the enemy army to make the first move!
After all, Gu Yu’s purpose for going out this time was to force the enemy to act.
When Gu Yu heard this, he immediately assured her that it was possible.
Even if it wasn’t, he would just go again.
Seeing Gu Yu’s relaxed smile, Gu Mengyao didn’t know what to say…
That was the enemy’s military camp!
Even though Gu Yu claimed it was easy to sneak in, Gu Mengyao still didn’t want to let him go again.
Gu Mengyao had been extremely worried since Gu Yu left, to the point where it affected her daily activities.
For her daily well-being, Gu Mengyao couldn’t let Gu Yu leave!
Her little husband was too frail; if he were injured…
It would be better if she went instead!
“Mengyao, I gained something else from this trip.”
“Something else?”
Seeing Gu Mengyao’s displeased expression, Gu Yu quickly tried to divert her attention, wanting to start a different topic so that Gu Mengyao wouldn’t overthink it.
From what Gu Yu knew of his little wife, she was definitely thinking… of not letting him go a second time.
Because it was too dangerous.
In Gu Mengyao’s eyes, Gu Yu was perhaps the embodiment of frailty.
Gu Yu felt both pain and joy about this. He enjoyed being worried about by his wife, but he also felt she saw him as too weak.
After all, those in the enemy country didn’t think so.
Perhaps he had become synonymous with a vengeful spirit…
“From the soldiers’ mouths, I heard about the next plan of the Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom: they intend to attack the Minghua Kingdom.”
“Attack the Minghua Kingdom? They are currently fighting the Linfeng Kingdom and yet they want to provoke the Minghua Kingdom? Are they crazy? Challenging the strength of two countries at once will surely overwhelm them.”
When Gu Yu revealed the enemy’s intention to attack the Minghua Kingdom, it successfully shifted Gu Mengyao’s attention, causing her expression to become one of surprise. Clearly, she hadn’t expected… at this crucial juncture, the Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom would provoke another country. Were they tired of living?
Or did they believe dealing with the Linfeng Kingdom was not a significant pressure?
If that were the case, regardless of the terrain or losses, Gu Mengyao would lead her soldiers to teach these two countries a lesson and prevent them from being too arrogant.
“Under normal circumstances, yes. However… the Mysterious Person came again.”
“The Mysterious Person… No wonder the Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom are so bold.”
However, upon hearing the words “Mysterious Person” from Gu Yu, Gu Mengyao nodded understandingly.
The Mysterious Person had dealings with the Linfeng Kingdom many times, and the Gu family had personally witnessed the Mysterious Person’s plans fail several times.
Therefore, they were not unfamiliar with the Mysterious Person.
They also knew that with the Mysterious Person’s help, even if the Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom wanted to attack the Minghua Kingdom, they weren’t being too arrogant; rather, they had sufficient confidence.
“If they really manage to conquer the Minghua Kingdom, it will be terrible! After replenishing their forces by using the Minghua Kingdom, the enemy might truly drag out the conflict with the Linfeng Kingdom, making it a long-drawn-out war.”
“Yes, that’s true. However, according to my speculation… they won’t directly attack the Minghua Kingdom, but will instead resolve the Linfeng Kingdom first! As for how, it’s likely that the Wuhe Kingdom will introduce a new poison, intending to make the Linfeng Kingdom surrender without a fight.”
“Didn’t the poison last time fail? Why are they trying again?”
“Perhaps they are very confident in their newly developed poison technique!”
“If it’s about poisoning, with A’Yu here, I’m not worried. However, upon knowing their intentions towards the Minghua Kingdom, I still feel uneasy.”
Hearing Gu Yu’s conjecture, Gu Mengyao did not panic.
With her husband, who knew medical skills, around, there were no problems to worry about.
However, regarding the Minghua Kingdom, Gu Mengyao’s eyes showed anxiety, clearly feeling that this could not be left unchecked.
Otherwise, after a prolonged struggle, would they even be able to go home!
“Mengyao, there’s still time. You can mention it to Gongsun Jie and let him decide what to do next.”
“Can I?”
“Why not? When I went to cause trouble before, it was only to expedite the end of the war. Now, the Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom have intentions to attack the Minghua Kingdom, which is indeed a problem. Let Gongsun Jie worry about it directly!”
As Gu Mengyao was worrying, Gu Yu spoke up, telling Gu Mengyao to inform Gongsun Jie about the Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom’s plan, preparing to pass the burden to someone else instead of letting them, the couple, rack their brains.
However, when Gu Mengyao heard this, her expression showed hesitation.
If this information were to be told to Gongsun Jie, then when Gongsun Jie asked where she learned about it…
Regarding such matters, it wouldn’t be easy to get away with a casual excuse.
And Gongsun Jie wasn’t a three-year-old child, so it would be even more difficult and troublesome!
If she told him, she would be questioned about the source.
If she didn’t tell him, and the Minghua Kingdom was conquered, it would be too late.
“Mengyao, are you worried about how to explain it to Gongsun Jie?”
“Yes, after all, it’s not something that can be easily concealed. If General Gongsun asks, what should I say? I can’t reveal that you went to cause trouble, otherwise, if he finds out, you’ll be assigned as the captain of the patrol team again.”
“…”
Seeing the troubled look on Gu Mengyao’s face, Gu Yu immediately guessed what she was worried about. Then, as he spoke, he heard Gu Mengyao mention the patrol team, which caused Gu Yu’s smile to freeze. He then began to feel a headache as well.
How could he have forgotten about the patrol team!!!
It seemed that no matter what, Gongsun Jie had to know about the Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom’s plan!
This way, he could distract him and prevent Gongsun Jie from constantly thinking about sending him to the patrol team!
As for the source of the information…
“Mengyao, how about this! Just say that you encountered a suspicious deserter outside the military camp. Because you found him suspicious, you went to question him and discovered he was an enemy soldier… Then, after some interrogation, that person used a hidden weapon to attack, then threw a pile of things and fled, disappearing in the blink of an eye.”
“This… I’m afraid General Gongsun won’t believe it.”
“It’s okay, I have this.”
As he spoke, Gu Yu took out a set of Wuhe Kingdom’s military uniform and a commander’s seal from his spatial dimension. Upon seeing these two items, Gu Mengyao finally nodded, indicating that the plan was indeed feasible!
With the commander’s seal presented, Gongsun Jie had no choice but to believe it.
“Yes! I’ll have Xi Yang wear this military uniform and carry the items. Later, you two will cooperate and act it out. Then, when Xi Yang flees, I’ll directly take him into my spatial dimension.”
“Okay.”
Without delay, after agreeing on the plan, Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao decided to implement it immediately and then go report to Gongsun Jie.
Gu Mengyao wanted to inform Gongsun Jie about the matter as soon as possible, hoping he could make a decision quickly.
Gu Yu felt the same way, but his motive was to avoid joining the patrol team…
However, as Gu Yu had speculated, the Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom would not move against the Minghua Kingdom for the time being… But, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. Let’s inform Gongsun Jie first.
…
“Hey, hey, have you heard!”
“Heard what?”
“A Wuhe Kingdom soldier sneaked into our side! If it weren’t for Deputy General Gu’s brilliance in capturing him, who knows what would have happened!”
“That’s too bold! But if they were wearing Wuhe Kingdom’s military uniform, wouldn’t we have detected them long ago?”
“You’re stupid. The uniform was worn underneath, with an outer garment over it! They looked quite rushed.”
As Gu Yu listened to the soldiers’ discussions, he nodded with satisfaction.
Everything went very smoothly. After Gu Yu successfully stored the fleeing Xi Yang back into his spatial dimension, Gu Mengyao, leading her men, rushed past Gu Yu in a seemingly worried manner, clearly searching for the Wuhe Kingdom soldier who had just escaped.
Upon seeing Gu Yu, Gu Mengyao subtly gave an “OK” gesture. After Gu Yu smiled and nodded, she led her men to search elsewhere.
Then, in less than half a day, the entire military camp knew about the incident.
“That might not be true! The version I heard is different from yours. Although it was Deputy General Gu who caught the person, he wasn’t a spy but a deserter… Apparently, it’s because the Wuhe Kingdom’s General Batoa had a penchant for men and wanted to do something to him, so he fled from the Wuhe Kingdom’s encampment, wanting to live incognito in Linfeng Kingdom.”
“Oh my god! The Wuhe Kingdom is too chaotic! They’re still at war, and the commander is harassing his soldiers!”
“Hmph, to make such disgraceful matters public shows they have no sense of shame.”
“Exactly!”
In order to add some authenticity, Gu Yu also emphasized the fact that the Wuhe Kingdom’s General had a preference for men. This shocked the soldiers of the Linfeng Kingdom upon hearing it.
Such open affection for men was truly shameless!
No wonder someone would flee to escape humiliation.
It was much better here in Linfeng Kingdom. At least, the Great General Gongsun Jie was an old man and wasn’t interested in such things…
As the story spread by word of mouth among the soldiers, various versions emerged, making Gu Yu almost disbelieve how it had developed.
It differed greatly from the original version, with many details added, making the Wuhe Kingdom’s General seem even more like a pervert.
In short, things proceeded smoothly.
When Gu Mengyao returned from outside, she reported that Gongsun Jie was aware of the matter and looked very serious, indicating that he would treat it with utmost gravity.
Gu Mengyao felt a sense of disbelief that the matter could be resolved so easily.
However, considering the Wuhe Kingdom’s military uniform and commander’s seal provided by Gu Yu, as well as the spatial dimension’s help for Xi Yang’s escape… without these, it would have been very difficult to make the plan successful.
