Chapter 87: Truly Too Bold!
The soldiers’ poisoning was swift, and so was their recovery. In less than a day, all of them had been cured.
Although Gu Yu took great credit, the efforts of others were also indispensable. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to eliminate the poison so quickly and prevent the spread to more people.
Shentu was one of the helpers. While Gu Yu went to rest, he diligently worked without stop.
He even accompanied soldiers with mild poisoning to the military medical office to collect medicine, ensuring no mistakes were made.
Fortunately, the matter was resolved in a short time, so Shentu did not have to do anything further and could rest assuredly.
However, this left him with a sense of unfinished business, even wishing for more opportunities to try detoxification with Divine Doctor Gu. He believed his medical skills would improve rapidly.
In just this half-day, Shentu gained a deeper understanding of medical skills.
Witnessing Gu Yu’s dazzling array of techniques pushed Shentu’s admiration for him to a new height.
So, Gu Yu was usually just too lazy to show off.
When he got serious, the strength he displayed was simply breathtaking.
He was too amazing!
The next time anyone spoke ill of Gu Yu, Shentu decided he would defend him to the death.
“Vice General Gu, it’s all over now, you should go back and rest!”
“Military Doctor Shentu, you’ve worked hard too.”
As Shentu thought this, and was about to head back to rest, he saw Gu Mengyao still standing there.
She looked into the distance, her dark eyes as deep as obsidian, and her face held a hint of solemnity and resolve. Seeing this, Shentu suddenly had a bad feeling.
Gu Mengyao wouldn’t be trying to get revenge, would she!
This wouldn’t do!
Immediately, Shentu quickly greeted Gu Mengyao, indicating that the situation was over and she could return to rest.
Upon hearing Shentu’s words, Gu Mengyao snapped out of her thoughts. She nodded at Shentu but didn’t directly respond.
Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom’s methods were sinister. Even though the soldiers were pulled back from the brink of death, they would still suffer. This made Gu Mengyao very angry, and her rage was almost uncontrollable.
When Gu Yu was still around, Gu Mengyao could consciously suppress it. Now that Gu Yu had returned to his room to rest, the flames of anger in Gu Mengyao’s heart were burning like a prairie fire.
They couldn’t always be on the defensive against the enemy country; Linfeng Kingdom needed to counterattack once!
And the best way was to strike them now.
With this thought, Gu Mengyao felt as if a cat was scratching her, filling her with a mixture of excitement and complex emotions, along with some hesitation.
Finally, after a moment of deliberation, Gu Mengyao decided to lead her troops to the enemy’s encampment and catch them off guard.
However, this time she wouldn’t bring too many soldiers. Instead, she would pick some skilled fighters, which would make retreating easier and avoid unnecessary casualties.
Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom were relying on their advantageous terrain, thinking that Linfeng Kingdom would not dare to attack rashly, as a mutually destructive outcome would not be good.
But if Gu Mengyao led a small team of soldiers quickly, even if the terrain was steep, it wouldn’t be a big problem due to the speed of the personnel.
Thinking of this, Gu Mengyao couldn’t stay any longer. She just wanted to bid farewell to Shentu and then lead her soldiers to attack directly.
“Vice General Gu, although I don’t know what you’re thinking, please reconsider before acting. General Gongsun has not given any orders yet. If you act rashly, you will be disobeying military orders.”
“Yes, I will go and report to General Gongsun. I believe he will not reject my proposal. As for A Yu, please don’t reveal anything to him. I will be back soon.”
Seeing Gu Mengyao’s eager expression, Shentu, who had long been active in the military camp, knew from a single glance that she was eager for battle.
The enemy army had already been repelled, yet Gu Mengyao still had such an expression. It was clearly suspicious!
When he thought about how Gu Yu pampered his wife, Shentu dared not imagine what would happen if Gu Mengyao were in trouble…
If Gu Yu were truly angry, it would be terrifying.
Therefore, Shentu quickly spoke out, trying to dissuade Gu Mengyao, urging her to think more before turning her ideas into reality.
Although he knew Gu Mengyao was very capable, attempting to infiltrate the enemy’s stronghold, even with her strength, was still risky and accidents could happen. It was better to be careful.
However, Gu Mengyao did not agree with Shentu’s conservative approach.
Sometimes, desperate measures were necessary.
It might be the only way to win.
Moreover, on the battlefield, no one could guarantee what would happen in the next moment… All they could do now was their best to steer the situation in a favorable direction.
“This… Divine Doctor Gu will be very angry when he finds out.”
“It’s fine, I’ll explain it.”
After speaking with Shentu, Gu Mengyao waved her hand and then walked towards Gongsun Jie’s residence, preparing to report her subsequent actions.
Although Gu Mengyao wanted to act first and report later, Shentu was right… Even if they had severely dealt with the enemy country, the consequences would definitely be bad without seeking permission from the Great General!
For the sake of the soldiers under her command, Gu Mengyao decided to report to Gongsun Jie first, and then lead her troops to teach the enemy a lesson.
She believed that Gongsun Jie would not object after hearing her plan, as she could show the Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom a thing or two with just a small group of people.
Even if these people suffered accidents, it would not result in significant losses for the Linfeng Kingdom’s army.
On the contrary, if successful, it would make the enemy country no longer complacent and abandon the idea that Linfeng Kingdom could do nothing to them.
Because Linfeng Kingdom would give them a memorable lesson!
…
“My wife took the troops and left???”
When Gu Yu woke up comfortably from his bed, he observed that the sky outside was gradually darkening. Gu Yu thought about going out to find something to eat and also to see where his little wife was, wondering if she was training soldiers again.
However, after ‘happening’ upon Deputy General Wang Nian, Gu Yu heard this astonishing news from him.
Gu Yu never expected that he had only slept for a while, and his wife had already led troops to kill people…
This was truly too bold!
“Alas, Military Doctor Gu, we were also very surprised when we heard this news! It’s a pity that Vice General Gu had already led the troops to leave the camp half a day ago. Otherwise, we would definitely have advised her to think twice! After all, the enemy’s military camp is not made of paper. If any accidents happen, it would be bad.”
Seeing the surprise in Gu Yu’s eyes, Wang Nian couldn’t help but smile proudly.
He thought it was worth rushing over to ‘coincidentally’ inform Gu Yu of this news.
Looking at Gu Yu now, it was clear that he didn’t know Gu Mengyao had taken the initiative to lead troops to fight the enemy, and had been kept in the dark.
Although Gu Mengyao was very capable, she was still just a married woman!
Now, it was time for Gu Yu to deal with her!
Letting Gu Mengyao be so arrogant, thinking she was the most capable in the military camp, and now directly heading to the enemy’s encampment, it was enough to make people dislike her just thinking about it!
To gain a good impression in front of General Gongsun, Gu Mengyao was too hypocritical.
However, the enemy’s encampment was not a safe place. Who knew what she might encounter this time!
If an accident happened, and Gu Mengyao and her team could not return, Wang Nian would be even happier!
“Advise what? My wife is so capable. Even if she went alone, she could make Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom cry. Do you think that just by having more people, you can make my wife bow down? What a joke!”
“…”
“Alas, now we have to prepare to welcome their victorious return. It’s truly a bit overwhelming. As the husband of a valiant female general, the pressure is a little bit great.”
Just as Wang Nian was thinking that Gu Yu would definitely be furious, Gu Yu, apart from his initial surprise, then appeared indifferent.
Later, when he spoke, he left Wang Nian speechless.
Especially seeing Gu Yu’s smug look, Wang Nian felt that the other party’s brain must be malfunctioning!
When encountering such a situation, wouldn’t he feel that a woman making decisions casually was challenging the position of the man as the head of the family???
How come it was different with Gu Yu? Not only did he not feel it was wrong, but he even praised her.
“However, I still thank Deputy General Wang Nian for telling me this news. You truly care about us as a couple!”
“Hahaha, it was just a coincidence. If I hadn’t met you at this time, I would have almost forgotten about it.”
“Is that so! However, I see that your complexion is not good. I’m afraid you’ll be possessed by evil spirits later, so be very careful!”
“Ah???”
Smiling at Wang Nian, Gu Yu secretly took out the medicinal powder and, while speaking, naturally sprinkled it over him. << (The words 'was secretly taken out' and 'sprinkled it over him' seem to replace 'the medicinal powder was secretly taken out' which could lead to misinterpretation as Gu Yu sprinkling it on himself.)>>
This medicinal powder was colorless and odorless. After contact, it would take effect in ten minutes, causing an ultimate sense of pleasure.
However, after that, there would be endless pain.
Thinking that he couldn’t let someone die in agony, Gu Yu had specifically shortened the duration to half an hour when making the medicinal powder…
So, Wang Nian should take care of himself!
After Gu Yu finished speaking, he didn’t bother with Wang Nian’s puzzled expression and walked towards the military camp gate, wanting to personally wait for his little wife to return.
If he chased after her now, he might miss Gu Mengyao, so it was better to wait in place.
Although Gu Yu told Wang Nian that he didn’t mind, he was very worried about Gu Mengyao’s safety.
Last time, he had also relied on the convenience of his space and could come and go freely alone.
However, Gu Mengyao led a team of soldiers directly there. Although their combat power had increased significantly, in another sense, it also meant more burdens.
But it was useless to say all this now.
He would quietly wait for Gu Mengyao to return!
His little wife was so powerful, she would definitely teach the enemy country a good lesson.
