Chapter 91 A Lot of Flowers
After entering Minghua Kingdom, Gu Yu found it very novel.
Unlike Linfeng Kingdom, Minghua Kingdom had many flowers.
That’s right, there were many flowers!
When passing by towns and villages, all you could see were all sorts of flowers, and even the roadside was planted with many flowers.
This made Mengyao, who loved flowers, almost unable to walk.
Fortunately, knowing that this trip was not for sightseeing, Mengyao did not order them to stop and admire the scenery. Instead, she rode her horse quickly towards the nearest prefecture city, preparing to find clues about Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom and drag them out of Minghua Kingdom!
However, when Gu Yu saw his little wife’s infatuated look, he thought that after this operation, he must come to Minghua Kingdom again.
At that time, they would have plenty of time to stop and go, appreciating the surrounding beautiful scenery without rushing!
“Mengyao, what are your plans next?”
“I plan to go to a prefecture city with a large population first. Maybe I can find the armies of Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom! Although their numbers decreased rapidly after their battle with Linfeng Kingdom, their numbers are not small… Now that they have infiltrated Minghua Kingdom, they must have left some traces.”
“Well, as long as you have a plan!”
While riding forward, Gu Yu urged his horse forward a few steps, then came to Mengyao’s side, and then asked about the subsequent arrangements.
After hearing Mengyao’s words, Gu Yu nodded, clearly agreeing with the plan.
Even if they couldn’t find the enemy in the prefecture city, they could inquire about the whereabouts of Xiao Huaixian. According to previous understanding, this Xiao Huaixian was a key figure.
“Mengyao, I have a rather important clue. When I was previously infiltrating the enemy’s military camp, I heard that they had placed their people in Minghua Kingdom. One of them is very famous and called Xiao Huaixian.”
“Xiao Huaixian?”
“Yes, she is a famous courtesan and visits the homes of important figures in Minghua Kingdom. If Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom want to attack Minghua Kingdom, they will definitely need Xiao Huaixian’s help… Moreover, Xiao Huaixian’s master is the mysterious person we are familiar with.”
“…”
Afterwards, when Gu Yu reminded Mengyao that Xiao Huaixian was actually a subordinate of the mysterious person, Mengyao couldn’t help but feel speechless, thinking that the mysterious person was really good at causing trouble.
No matter when, the mysterious person would jump out and highlight their presence.
It seemed that this trip to Minghua Kingdom would not be easy!
Afterwards, under Mengyao and their group’s galloping horses, the nearest prefecture city was within reach. When it was close to nightfall, they finally reached their destination.
As it was late, there was no rush to find information. After finding an inn to stay in, they decided to leave everything for tomorrow.
“Mengyao, are you tired?”
“Mm… I’m okay, why?”
“I see it’s quite lively outside, so I want to take you out for a stroll. If you’re tired, then we should rest!”
When they returned to the room at night, Gu Yu sat by the bed and spoke to Mengyao, wanting to ask her if she could go out and enjoy the night view.
Minghua Kingdom not only had many flowers, but at night, the streets were decorated with various flower lanterns, and it was very lively with people coming and going.
Gu Yu also thought that during the day, due to the team, Mengyao could not stop at will… When they had free time at night, there were not many restrictions, and they could do as they pleased.
However, due to the rushing for the past few days, if she was too tired, it would be better to rest first.
It was also possible to see it tomorrow.
After all, the streets wouldn’t run away.
“I’m not tired! Let’s go now. The flowers in Minghua Kingdom are so beautiful, it’s like a fairyland!”
“Okay, let’s go.”
Upon hearing Gu Yu’s suggestion to go out for a stroll, Mengyao nodded quickly without any hesitation, indicating her willingness to go out!
This great opportunity must not be missed!
She didn’t know much about Minghua Kingdom before, which caused Mengyao, who was unprepared, to be stunned after entering this country!
She even felt a sense of not wanting to go back… The flowers were too beautiful, and they perfectly matched her preferences.
However, this idea was unrealistic.
She could only think about it in her heart.
Besides, if she couldn’t go home, no matter how beautiful the surrounding environment was, she would feel lonely and nostalgic.
It was suitable to come here once in a while, to reward herself with beautiful flowers and relieve fatigue.
Afterwards, when Gu Yu and Mengyao arrived at the street, they looked at the lively scene of people coming and going outside, which relaxed their bodies that had been tired all day.
With smiles on their faces, they blended into the crowd, moving forward with the flow of people, appreciating the charm of the exotic night scenery.
The flowers blooming around the streets at this time exuded fragrance, making people even more enchanted.
Fortunately, Mengyao had changed from her men’s clothing to women’s clothing before coming out. Otherwise, Gu Yu thought that if he walked on the street with his wife wearing men’s clothing, he would definitely attract 100% of the attention!
Although Mengyao in men’s clothing was also very handsome, it always felt awkward!
Except for the initial ride on the same horse with Mengyao, Gu Yu did not dare to be with his wife again… After all, with the strange glances of passers-by, it was really unbearable.
Therefore, it was better for Mengyao to change back to women’s clothing.
Afterwards, as they moved forward, seeing Mengyao’s great interest in the flowers sold on both sides of the street, Gu Yu did not hesitate and bought them all the way.
When they could no longer carry them in their hands, they went to a hidden place and put them all into the space, and then continued to buy.
He also bought quite a few flower seeds, intending to let Mengyao plant them herself after returning home. No matter what kind of flowers grew, she would like them very much.
After finally getting tired of strolling, Gu Yu and Mengyao could also rest for a while.
Leading Mengyao, who was wearing a flower crown, Gu Yu found a nearby teahouse. After stepping inside, he directly asked for a private room by the window on the second floor.
He planned to enjoy the beauty of the night view while drinking tea and resting.
“A’Yu, this outing feels quite good! Shall we go out again tomorrow!”
“As long as you are happy, anything is possible.”
“Yes! Ever since we set out from the capital to the battlefield, this is the happiest time!”
“After all, in the military camp, we trained all day, how tiring it is! My wife, you are also very honest. I see many deputy generals who are diligent for a while in the morning and then start to become lazy.”
Sitting on the chair, he looked out the window at the lights, which had a unique charm.
However, after hearing Mengyao’s words, Gu Yu couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows and then said that Mengyao was usually too tense, which was why she felt tired.
Like other deputy generals who came along, they were more relaxed and trouble-free!
If it were Gu Yu, he would definitely be lazier than these deputy generals…
“You can’t do that. After all, when going to the battlefield, the soldiers entrust their lives to me, so I must do my best to prevent them from dying… This is what I can do, and what I must do.”
However, after hearing Gu Yu’s words, Mengyao directly shook her head.
The words she then spoke made Gu Yu smile helplessly, thinking that his little wife’s serious personality would not be popular in the military camp!
Although they had always been victorious and never defeated… but if they really encountered defeat and suffered heavy casualties, Mengyao would find it difficult to recover.
This was because she had invested too much effort and responsibility in these soldiers.
However, this was from a rational point of view. From an emotional point of view, Mengyao was a good general.
The soldiers who followed her were very fortunate.
Gu Yu naturally couldn’t say anything about his wife’s decision. He could only support her silently from behind, as long as she wasn’t sad.
“A’Yu, what do you think… can we find any traces of the enemy tomorrow!”
“It’s difficult.”
“Alas! I was also very helpless when General Gongsun suddenly assigned this task. Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom are really something. If they don’t have the ability, they shouldn’t attack Linfeng Kingdom, but they ran away halfway through.”
“The original goals of Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom were Linfeng Kingdom and Minghua Kingdom… Although I also think their ideas are whimsical, their choice to retreat at this moment also means that they have understood the situation. They know that even if they continue, they cannot do anything to Linfeng Kingdom, so they can only pick on the soft targets and change their target to Minghua Kingdom.”
When talking about tomorrow’s itinerary, Mengyao had some worries and clearly did not have much hope of finding the enemy’s traces immediately.
But as a mission, it had to be completed.
This made Mengyao feel a headache, thinking that she would have to spend a lot of time in Minghua Kingdom this time, and she hoped everything would go smoothly!
And after hearing his little wife’s complaint, Gu Yu analyzed it for a while, saying that it was inevitable for Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom to run away.
After all, they did not expect to encounter Mengyao on the battlefield. With a single spear, she killed them in disarray, and their casualties were heavy.
As for using tricks like poisoning, with Gu Yu in the Linfeng Kingdom’s military camp, they couldn’t even think about it.
Under such development, if they continued to stall with Linfeng Kingdom, it would definitely be a failure.
So, at this time, they had to choose the second plan.
However, they had just released a new poison technique to Linfeng Kingdom, but they left without even looking at the results… This made Gu Yu ponder that something was not right, thinking that there must be something behind it, otherwise, the main generals of Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom would not have given up so decisively!
And the only person who could change the minds of the two generals, apart from the always troublesome mysterious person, was clearly no one else.
However, the mysterious person knew how to seize the opportunity and knew that if they couldn’t attack Linfeng Kingdom, they would shift their target.
They wouldn’t put all their eggs in one basket.
But unfortunately, even if the enemy came to Minghua Kingdom, they could not escape pursuit.
This time, they must capture the two enemy generals and bring them back.
