Chapter 125: Brother-in-law, are you going to make a move?
Soon, it was time to leave the capital.
As usual, after receiving several carts of gifts from his father-in-law, Gu Yu and his sister Gu Mengyao, escorted by Xing Zhi and others, embarked on their journey home after bidding farewell.
Along the way, things were pretty much as Gu Yu had expected.
Since the last time she had knocked Gu Mengyao onto the bed, she had been very unwilling, always wanting to get the upper hand and pin Gu Yu down on the bed.
Gu Yu felt both pain and pleasure with such a little wife!
However, even though Gu Mengyao always took the opportunity to seduce him, when seduction failed, she would resort to a direct assault!
This made Gu Yu, like a loach, quickly slip out of the carriage and ride his horse with Xing Zhi.
Gu Mengyao gnashed her teeth in hatred, thinking in her heart… she wasn’t in a hurry at all!
When they returned to their home in Yang Family Village, even if Gu Yu wanted to run, he couldn’t go far.
Gu Yu naturally knew his little wife’s plans, only thinking that when they got back, he would have his younger brother-in-law distract her, so that he could preserve his chastity!
“Mengyao, look ahead.”
“What’s the matter?”
“That’s Lian Town ahead, but there are a lot of people gathered at the town entrance!”
“Mmm, I see Magistrate Bai leading a group of government soldiers standing there. Is something big happening?”
This day, after several days of continuous travel, Gu Yu and his party were finally about to reach Lian Town, but seeing a lot of people gathered at the town entrance from afar made Ivan frown, wondering if some troublesome matter had occurred again.
He couldn’t even have a moment’s peace upon his return!
When Gu Mengyao heard Gu Yu’s words, as she looked forward, she also saw many people, and even saw Magistrate Bai in the crowd.
Bai Wangzhi was dressed neatly, wearing his official uniform formally, with a serious expression on his face, as if he were about to meet an important figure.
“It’s no big deal, I think… they’re just here to welcome you.”
“Welcome me?”
“Mmm, Mengyao, you are no longer the same as before. You are no longer an ordinary village girl from Yang Family Village, but a person with an official position, and the first such formidable female general in Linfeng Kingdom… Bai Wangzhi is from the Bai family, and I’m afraid the Bai family has already conveyed this news to him.”
At first, Gu Yu hadn’t thought of it, but after Gu Mengyao spoke, Gu Yu immediately thought of something and then told Gu Mengyao his guess.
This made Gu Mengyao’s face freeze, and she felt a little incredulous, but listening to Gu Yu’s words, it made a lot of sense, and Gu Mengyao felt that this was indeed the case.
If that were the case, things would be troublesome!
Originally, she had envisioned a peaceful life before, but now, that wouldn’t be possible.
“Mengyao, don’t worry too much. If it’s exposed, it’s exposed! Look at me. I also wanted a peaceful life before, but after a series of events, I think this idea is definitely unattainable, so I can only adapt to it.”
“But, I always feel like things will get very troublesome in the future!”
“It’s okay, I and Qingheng are still by your side! No matter what others say, they are just jumping clowns! Besides, the land that the Emperor rewarded you has already been agreed upon for me to cultivate! If it wasn’t exposed, I would probably have to hire people secretly, it’s better to just make it public, and in the future, there won’t be any strange people coming to cause trouble.”
While Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao were talking, the carriage also arrived at the town entrance.
Due to the large number of people, the carriage had to slow down. Seeing this, Bai Wangzhi, who had been waiting at the town entrance for a long time, quickly pulled people and shouted loudly towards the carriage: “Welcome Captain Gu back to town.”
Gu Mengyao’s Chariot Captain rank was the sixth rank, and Bai Wangzhi’s Magistrate rank was also the sixth rank. They were of the same rank, but sometimes, one could not just look at their official titles, but also consider other aspects.
For example, although Bai Wangzhi was just a minor official, he was backed by the Bai family in the capital, so usually, no one would be so bored as to trouble him.
At this time, Gu Mengyao also found her father, and coupled with her current special status, Bai Wangzhi did not dare to neglect her in the slightest.
Immediately, as someone descended from the carriage, everyone couldn’t help but crane their necks to look. However, Gu Yu smiled at everyone at this time, indicating that he had disappointed them.
But then, when Gu Mengyao reached out and lifted the carriage curtain, and also got out of the carriage, only then did everyone see Gu Mengyao’s true appearance.
Unlike the imagined appearance of a waist as thick as a barrel and a face full of flesh, Gu Mengyao herself looked delicate and very beautiful, not like the fierce female general who had killed so many people on the battlefield.
Among the people present, besides Magistrate Bai, there were many prominent figures from Lian Town.
If they wanted to know about Gu Mengyao, as long as they had acquaintances in the capital, a little inquiry would reveal shocking news.
Gu Mengyao performed exceptionally well in every battle she experienced, so most people did not look down on her because she was a woman. Instead, they felt that if Gu Mengyao, a woman, was so capable, wouldn’t she be even more so if she were a man!
As for a minority of old fuddy-duddies, it was because they did not approve of women showing their faces in public, saying that a woman should just stay at home, be a good wife and mother, and that’s all!
They definitely had not read the “Lessons for Women” and knew nothing about the “three obediences and four virtues” for women.
This made Gu Yu sneer when he heard his younger brother-in-law vividly recounting gossip.
Thinking that these people only knew how to flap their lips, if Gu Mengyao didn’t go to the battlefield, would they dare?
Or, if they went, they would be killed by the enemy, and it would be deserved.
“Is this Gu Mengyao?”
“What a waste of joy, we misidentified her!”
“Yes, I’m also very curious! She’s not what I imagined, with such a slender body, how can she go into battle? Don’t tell me we made a mistake!”
“But, there’s the Gu surname on the carriage, so it shouldn’t be wrong!”
“Why don’t we ask Magistrate Bai! He had dealings with the Gu family before, so he can definitely distinguish.”
This obvious contrast made everyone confused, thinking that they might have waited for the wrong person.
Therefore, everyone’s gaze turned to Bai Wangzhi, wanting to ask someone knowledgeable.
It was said that before the Gu family became prosperous, Magistrate Bai had met with members of the Gu family several times, so he would definitely be able to recognize her!
“Captain Gu, Young Master Gu, it’s been a long time!”
However, what Bai Wangzhi said immediately dispelled everyone’s doubts.
The person in front of them was indeed Gu Mengyao.
It’s just that…
Looking at the couple in front of him, Bai Wangzhi couldn’t help but feel a little regretful. He originally thought that with Gu Yu’s intelligence and boldness, he would definitely carve out a world for himself.
But he never expected that…
In the end, Gu Mengyao became the strongest female general in Linfeng Kingdom, and Gu Yu became the man behind Gu Mengyao, and apart from his impressive medical skills, there was no news about him.
However, Bai Wangzhi did not look down on Gu Yu for this reason. Just being Gu Mengyao’s husband meant that very few people dared to provoke him.
Although there was little news about Gu Yu, it did not mean that he was not capable.
Only those who had interacted with Gu Yu could know his strength.
“Greetings, Magistrate Bai.”
“Not at all, not at all. I heard a few days ago that you two couples were returning to Lian Town, which surprised me immensely! I originally thought you were going to stay in the capital!”
“No, our home is here, how can we go anywhere else! Besides, Director Qingshan is very knowledgeable, and it is reassuring to have him teach my younger brother.”
After experiencing many events, Gu Mengyao was no longer timid when meeting officials as she was at the beginning. Her current demeanor was graceful, with a proper smile on her face, and she was very confident.
Such Gu Mengyao was completely the focal point, drawing everyone’s gaze involuntarily, and they thought to themselves that someone who could become the first female general of Linfeng Kingdom was indeed not an ordinary village girl.
Gu Yu was even more satisfied, thinking that his little wife was becoming more and more stylish!
When she got a few years older, her aura would change again, and at that time… perhaps, these people would be trembling with fear.
Originally, Gu Yu did not believe that anyone could scare people with their aura.
But seeing Gu Mengyao killing people on the battlefield, he had to sigh… his little wife was the best example!
On the battlefield, the enemy clearly avoided Gu Mengyao and was directly frightened by her.
However, in the crowded battlefield, it was not easy to escape, so in the end, they would still be stabbed in the heart by Gu Mengyao, and obediently report to King Yama.
If they were lucky enough to escape, it was okay, there were still people from the Spike Team to finish them off.
“Brother-in-law, why are there so many people here! Are they all here to get close to my sister?”
“Why did you come down? Didn’t I tell you before not to come down!”
“It’s okay, I’ll be coming to Lian Town in the future anyway, these people will see my face sooner or later… Brother-in-law, you haven’t answered my question yet!”
Then, as Gu Qingheng’s voice softly sounded, Gu Yu couldn’t help but turn his head and glare at him.
There were too many miscellaneous people here. If they remembered Gu Qingheng’s face, it would be bad if they wanted to harm him in the future.
However, Gu Qingheng directly shook his head, indicating that Gu Yu was worrying too much, and then continued to press.
“Everything you guessed is correct, what else can I say.”
“Ah! Then when can we leave!”
“I don’t know, but these people are too talkative. We just got back and haven’t rested, yet they don’t know how to read the room.”
“Brother-in-law, are you going to make a move?”
“What do you mean by ‘are you going to make a move’? If you don’t know how to speak, don’t speak. Shut your mouth!”
“Heh heh, got it!”
While talking to Gu Qingheng, Gu Yu also took out some medicinal powder from his space and secretly sprinkled some towards Bai Wangzhi, planning to leave with Gu Mengyao as soon as he fainted.
Although this was a bit unethical, who made Magistrate Bai the highest-ranking official among this group… At worst, he would compensate him later.
If he fainted, it should divert a large portion of the attention.
