Chapter 101 Gu Yu’s Charm
Hearing the robber’s words, Gu Yu did not react at all.
He just stood there quietly, then watched the woman in red, with a cold face, draw her long sword from her waist and directly deal with the bandits blocking their way.
Her movements were fluid and natural, as if she wasn’t killing people but dancing gracefully.
However, Gu Yu still felt… his little wife’s gun-wielding moves were even cooler!
Especially when she skewered several people with one shot, she had a mighty aura that could shake mountains and rivers. Just seeing it was incredibly shocking, and he didn’t know how to describe it…
Of course, Gu Mengyao’s lightness skill was also very beautiful. Just watching it was a pleasure!
“Gu Yu? I’m here to find you.”
While Gu Yu was thinking about his wife, the woman in red put her long sword back into its sheath, then looked at Gu Yu and spoke.
Gu Yu was not surprised by the woman in red’s words.
This place was very close to Yang Family Village. For someone as powerful as the woman in red, coming here meant she had to find the Gu family.
Within a hundred-mile radius, Gu Yu really didn’t know… besides their family, which other family would the woman in red be looking for.
“Looking for me? Who sent you?”
“The Alliance. I’m here to protect the Gu family on orders.”
Then, Gu Yu was taken aback when he heard the woman in red say she was here to protect the Gu family.
To think that the Alliance sent someone to protect him… Tsk, did Bai Qian also know that the current situation was unstable, and therefore wanted to ensure the Gu family’s safety?
However, just saying that didn’t have much credibility.
“This is a letter from the Alliance.”
Perhaps seeing Gu Yu’s mistrust, the woman in red didn’t say more. Instead, she directly took out a letter. When Gu Yu opened it, he immediately recognized Bai Qian’s handwriting.
In the letter, Bai Qian told the Gu family to lie low recently and not to leave Lian Town.
Something big was about to happen.
Gu Yu was filled with doubt about the big event Bai Qian mentioned, but he also knew… this wasn’t the time to think about these things. Instead, he had to arrange for the woman in red.
“Did the Alliance only send you to guard the Gu family?”
“Yes.”
“What’s your name?”
“Xiao Hong.”
With the identity of the woman in red confirmed, Gu Yu did not reject Bai Qian’s decision to send someone to protect them. It was good to have an extra pair of hands, and she could also chat with Gu Mengyao more.
Before, when Tang Lian was around, Gu Mengyao and she got along very well.
“Xiao Hong…”
However, upon hearing the name Xiao Hong, Gu Yu felt a sense of déjà vu…
Wait, wasn’t this the name Xi Yang had mentioned to him before? The Alliance actually sent her!
It seemed Xi Yang had something to do lately.
“Alright, a name is just a code, I won’t complain about Xiao Hong, Xiao Lu, or anything like that. Come back with me.”
“Yes.”
Xiao Hong didn’t say much, and Gu Yu didn’t say anything else. On the way, he was just thinking about what the big event Bai Qian mentioned was… it definitely wasn’t the emperor favoring the Wang Clan, as that wasn’t a big deal in Bai Qian’s eyes.
What could it be!
As Gu Yu was thinking about this, he and Xiao Hong had already arrived in the village. Some villagers were strolling and chatting outside. When they saw Gu Yu leading a young woman who was quite attractive, they immediately started whispering.
Just from their suggestive glances, they weren’t thinking of anything good.
“Oh my, it’s still broad daylight, how dare Gu Yu bring a woman home!”
“What do you know? Men should be like this! Didn’t you see the other day? Gu Yu directly asked for five hundred thousand taels of silver from a high official from the capital, enough to spend a lifetime without spending it all, and he can’t have some fun!”
“Heh heh, Gu Yu also likes to enjoy himself. Look how beautiful that young woman is!”
“Maybe she’s just a relative!”
“A relative? I haven’t seen any relatives that beautiful in the Old Yang family. It’s more like a relative from Gu Mengyao’s side, but being close at hand…”
“Maybe it’s true, after all, Gu Yu’s charm is not small!”
It was only when the surrounding noises grew louder that Gu Yu was pulled back from his thoughts. He immediately looked up at his surroundings, and the villagers immediately shut their mouths, not daring to say anything more.
Gu Yu didn’t give them a good look either. After giving everyone a cold glance, he led Xiao Hong home.
“A’Yu, who is this?”
When the two got home, Gu Mengyao was also very curious. She didn’t know who this woman in red was?
Gu Yu went out for a stroll, how could he pick up a young woman?
“Someone sent by the Alliance to protect the Gu family, her name is Xiao Hong.”
“Greetings, Madam.”
Thinking of what the villagers had just said, Gu Yu quickly and clearly introduced Xiao Hong’s origin to avoid his little wife’s misunderstanding, and then asked Gu Mengyao and Xiao Hong to get acquainted. He himself had to go out to do some things.
Gu Mengyao did not stop him. Instead, she took Xiao Hong aside to talk and prepare to get to know each other.
Knowing that Bai Qian was in charge of the Alliance, Gu Mengyao’s impression of the Alliance improved quite a bit. At this moment, she was also very touched by Bai Qian sending someone to protect the Gu family, so she did not resist Xiao Hong living in the Gu family as a bodyguard.
Seeing that Gu Mengyao was not a difficult woman, Xiao Hong also felt relieved.
When she first heard about her mission, Xiao Hong was also uneasy… those companions who were dispatched had encountered problems, and this was her first mission as a bodyguard for others.
This made Xiao Hong unsure of what she would encounter. However, after meeting Gu Yu on the way, she felt at ease.
Gu Yu’s appearance was even more handsome than hers, so there was no need to worry too much…
Now, seeing Gu Yu’s wife—Gu Mengyao—who also had a kind demeanor, she probably wouldn’t make things difficult for her.
And after Gu Yu left the house, he immediately released Xi Yang from the spatial dimension and told him about Xiao Hong’s arrival. This made Xi Yang’s eyes widen in shock. He didn’t expect… he would meet Xiao Hong again!
Back in the capital, Xi Yang had already fallen for Xiao Hong, who took care of him. Unfortunately, he had to return to Lian Town with Gu Yu…
Now, hearing Gu Yu say that Xiao Hong would be staying at the Gu family for a long time!
“Heh heh, Gu Laoda, I don’t want to stay in the spatial dimension for a while!”
“Mm, I wasn’t planning on letting you in again. However… there are no spare houses at home. Hurry up and find someone to build two rooms, and they can be neighbors with Xiao Hong.”
“Okay, I’ll go right away!!!”
After the initial bewilderment at the sudden appearance of the person he had been longing for, Xi Yang immediately decided not to stay in the spatial dimension anymore.
Anyway, he had plenty of time to spend with Xiao Hong.
With a bit of “love develops over time,” he would have his wife!!!
Upon hearing that he could live next door to Xiao Hong, Xi Yang immediately became as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. Then, using his lightness skill, he disappeared from Gu Yu’s sight in an instant.
Seeing Xi Yang run off in such a hurry, Gu Yu couldn’t help but shake his head, wondering if Xi Yang had any money on him.
He ran so fast, he better not tie up some craftsmen later…
