Chapter 98: Pig Teammates
Since Gu Yu visited Hong Luan Pavilion once, life had been peaceful and uneventful.
When Mengyao learned that the Love Flower Festival was only seven days away, she stopped being anxious and prepared to wait for the scoundrels from Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom to fall into their trap.
So, during these few days, Gu Yu and Mengyao began to stroll through Hua City, experiencing the exotic customs of other countries.
Anyway, they were idle now, so they might as well go out for a stroll.
Consider it a trip…
However, Gu Yu did not forget the main business.
After sending people to keep an eye on Xiao Hua Xian’s movements, Gu Yu thought… if they caught people from Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom, it would be okay to solve some troubles in advance.
It was a pity that there had been no discoveries so far.
He didn’t know if it was because they had alerted them last time and made Xiao Hua Xian and his group vigilant.
Fortunately, Gu Yu did not pin all his hopes on this, and was just waiting for the Love Flower Festival to arrive before dealing with these guys properly.
“Yu, what are you thinking about! Hurry up and eat the ice, it’s all melting.”
One day, while Gu Yu and Mengyao were shopping, when Mengyao saw that the ice in Gu Yu’s hand was about to melt, she immediately reminded him to eat it quickly.
When Gu Yu returned to his senses from his thoughts, he quickly swallowed the ice into his mouth, feeling an immediate chill that was so refreshing!
“Pfft! Yu, slow down, there’s no need to be so hurried.”
Seeing Gu Yu’s foolishness, Mengyao couldn’t help but smile, then took out a handkerchief and helped Gu Yu wipe the water from his mouth.
When Gu Yu heard what she said, a helpless smile appeared on his face, thinking that it was an unconscious action that even he had not expected.
Fortunately, the coldness did not last long, and Gu Yu finally felt like he had come back to life.
“Sorry, I was a bit distracted just now.”
“It’s only because I’m by your side, otherwise, who knows what would happen! Yu, you! As soon as you start thinking about something, you become very focused. You’d better not get distracted when you’re outside.”
“Okay, I’ll pay attention. Let’s continue shopping!”
Seeing Gu Yu looking like he had recovered, Mengyao also spoke at this moment, wanting Gu Yu to pay attention to himself and not to fall into a daze state at any time.
It was too dangerous!
However… sometimes, Gu Yu couldn’t control his thoughts.
This made him very conflicted!
Forget it, why think so much… Anyway, with his wife accompanying him, he wasn’t afraid!
But it was better not to say this thought out loud.
So as not to be told by Mengyao again…
“Yu, were you thinking about the enemy country just now?”
“Yes, there are still three days until the Love Flower Festival, and the war with the enemy countries is imminent, which makes me a little concerned.”
Walking on the street, because there were no more disappearances during this period, people’s courage had grown considerably, and they dared to come out of their homes.
This led to the street becoming lively again, with various shouts constantly heard, a stark contrast to the desolate and deserted appearance before.
What’s more, many bold women even openly flirted with Gu Yu in front of Mengyao…
This made Mengyao furious. Fortunately, Gu Yu took Mengyao’s hand at this moment, and her anger immediately dissipated.
She was even a little happy.
As for the easily satisfied little wife, Gu Yu had summarized his experience, and it always worked.
“I’m also concerned, and I wish time could pass faster.”
“You can’t rush these things, let’s take it slow! Mengyao, don’t you feel… this sun is too poisonous! Walking on the street now, I feel like I’m about to be dried to death. The temperature in Minghua Kingdom is really too high.”
“There’s a teahouse ahead, let’s go in and rest.”
“Okay.”
While talking to Mengyao, Gu Yu tugged at his clothes, feeling like he was about to sweat to death!
If they were still in Linfeng Kingdom, it wouldn’t be this hot!
When Mengyao saw Gu Yu sweating profusely, she didn’t continue to wander on the street, but took him into a teahouse to cool off.
Compared to Mengyao, Gu Yu was more fragile, unable to tolerate either extreme heat or cold.
Even though Gu Yu had transmigrated for several years, he still had no way to deal with it and could only try to reduce the number of times he went out.
Although, Gu Yu was originally unwilling to go out.
Now, he had just found a suitable reason for himself.
After entering the teahouse, with the shelter of the building, it was indeed much cooler inside.
Compared to the outside, it was a world of difference!
“Haha, Zhang San’s wife had an affair, making Zhang San’s green hat so green!”
“Did you hear! Qian Chuan Hutong’s Li Qiang went gambling again. Not only did he lose the house his father left behind, but this time he’s planning to sell his wife and daughter into a brothel. What a sin!”
“Damn it, my salted vegetables were stolen again.”
Many people had the same idea and wanted to come in to escape the sun, so when the teahouse was almost full, it naturally became lively.
They were all chatting happily, exchanging information with each other, and then telling others.
When Gu Yu and Mengyao came in, they found a relatively quiet place to sit down and listen to others gossiping, which they found quite interesting.
If Gu Qingheng were here, he would be in his element and would definitely be the most dazzling person in the room.
Speaking of Gu Qingheng, after not seeing him for so long, he wondered if he had been studying diligently?
Only after the war ended could they go home. During this time, he hoped his younger brother-in-law could hold on a little longer!
Although, Gu Yu felt… Gu Qingheng’s life at Qingshan Academy was probably very colorful.
He did not suffer.
At least, it was much better than when he stayed at home with him last time.
“Do you know that Linfeng Kingdom is at war with two countries?”
“Of course, we know about such a big thing! What’s wrong, has there been a result?”
“It can’t be that fast, but there’s other news coming out.”
When the words “Linfeng Kingdom” were mentioned, Gu Yu and Mengyao were immediately drawn to their attention and listened intently, wondering why they suddenly mentioned Linfeng Kingdom.
If it was about the war, it would not be surprising, as Linfeng Kingdom had no reason to hide the war with Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom.
It could be known with a simple inquiry…
But they just said other news!
Mengyao and her group had been in Minghua Kingdom for quite some time, but the communication pigeons were long gone, and they had basically lost contact with Gongsun Jie.
Therefore, they knew very little about the Linfeng Kingdom’s army, and even had to get information from others.
This was why Gu Yu insisted on coming in the first place!
Because after Mengyao and the others entered Minghua Kingdom, they would encounter communication failures… If an accident really happened, even rescue would be too late.
“What is it, don’t keep us in suspense.”
“Exactly, exactly, say it quickly!”
“Don’t be anxious! Let me tell you slowly… It’s like this, our country’s soldiers caught a group of people with suspicious behavior, and after investigation, they found that it was people from Linfeng Kingdom who had secretly infiltrated.”
“What! Does Linfeng Kingdom want to start a war with Minghua Kingdom? They haven’t resolved the issues with the other two countries, and now they’re provoking them!”
When they heard what was said next, Gu Yu and Mengyao couldn’t help but exchange glances, and both saw confusion in each other’s eyes.
People from Linfeng Kingdom, secretly infiltrating…
Could it be that they were reinforcements sent by the army?
He remembered that Gongsun Jie had mentioned this before… but Gu Yu thought he was just talking about it casually, he didn’t expect it to be true!
Moreover, they had been in Hua City for so long, and they had never seen any companions appear.
So, what use were these reinforcements?
They were simply pig teammates!
As long as they weren’t implicated, that would be good.
“Oh my god! People from Linfeng Kingdom have actually sneaked in, how daring! Could it be that the disappearances happening here are all the work of Linfeng Kingdom?”
“It’s very possible! After all, not long after Linfeng Kingdom went to war with other countries, people in Hua City have inexplicably disappeared… It must be the work of people from Linfeng Kingdom! They want to take down Minghua Kingdom and enslave them.”
“Don’t be so quick to judge, maybe it’s just a rumor!”
“How is that possible? My cousin saw it with his own eyes, so it can’t be a rumor. Moreover, the spies from Linfeng Kingdom have already been brought back to Hua City, and news will probably be released soon.”
Then, after hearing the more detailed words, Gu Yu couldn’t help but twitch his lips speechlessly, thinking that these pig teammates had stumbled upon Hua City by chance.
However, even if they came to Hua City, it was useless.
They were locked up in prison… unless they escaped, they were of no help at all.
Even, Gu Yu was worried that these people would reveal their information…
“Yu, this…”
“Yes, you’re not wrong! These people should be reinforcements sent by Gongsun Jie, but they are too stupid and not useful at all.”
Gu Yu waved his hand at Mengyao, showing a helpless expression, which made Mengyao shake her head in disappointment with her teammates.
It seemed they still had to rely on themselves.
Moreover, they had to be careful recently. If the pig teammates exposed their whereabouts and caused Minghua Kingdom to impose martial law, things would become complicated.
It would be even worse if it affected the Love Flower Festival.
Now, Mengyao only wanted to capture the main generals of Wuhe Kingdom and Changlin Kingdom, and beat Xiao Hua Xian for daring to make a move on her little husband!
As for those who were caught, they just needed to survive these three days honestly.
After that, Gongsun Jie could find his own way to get them out.
Although Mengyao was very responsible and took the military camp matters very seriously, she was still dissatisfied after being forcibly dispatched by Gongsun Jie.
However, she couldn’t express it in front of the soldiers.
Therefore, this time Mengyao only needed to capture the enemy generals and complete the mission smoothly.
As for other messy matters, she didn’t even want to bother with them.
