Chapter 136: Quickly covered his mouth with his hand
When they could no longer see the figures of everyone behind them, Gu Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the trip to the Tang Sect was finally over.
They would return to their peaceful lives again.
And when no one was around, Gu Yu immediately collected all the items in these carriages into his space, and sold the remaining horses at a good price in the next town they passed.
The three of them continued on their way lightly armed, so as not to slow down their return.
“Brother-in-law, what did Uncle Tang write on the note he gave you! Didn’t you say it was important… Did you finally get enlightened and are going to marry Sister Lian to me! If so, don’t keep it from me anymore, I’ve grown up and can completely accept this news, and I agree very much!”
“Dream on, it has nothing to do with you, so don’t think about it.”
“Hmph, that’s what you say, but the fact isn’t like that!”
“You brat, why are you so stubborn! It really has nothing to do with you, but it has to do with me and your sister.”
“???”
Upon hearing that it wasn’t about him and Sister Lian, Gu Qingheng was disappointed for a moment, and then his curiosity was piqued again when he heard that it was related to Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao.
What could it be that was related to his sister and brother-in-law!
Generally, when something like this happens, it’s a big deal!
“Brother-in-law, you’re fishing! My curiosity has been hooked! Hurry up and tell me, I’m very curious!”
“It’s nothing, it’s just that the Tang Sect’s intelligence network got some special news… Thinking if it was related to the Gu family, they told me this news.”
“Special news?”
Listening to Gu Yu’s words, Gu Qingheng was impatient and felt that his brother-in-law was so slow today!
As soon as he opened his mouth, it was like a clam shell, only spitting out a little bit of news each time, wasn’t that even more anxious?
If he couldn’t defeat his brother-in-law, Gu Qingheng would have already forced him to reveal all the news by force!
“Do you remember the Wang Clan who returned to the capital in dismay? They wanted to use the disaster relief grain to frame the Gu family, but they were counter-attacked.”
“Of course I remember!”
“As the main culprit of embezzling disaster relief grain—Wang Xu, has decided to be executed.”
“What!!!”
In response to Gu Qingheng’s question, Gu Yu no longer kept him in suspense and told him the news he had obtained.
However, regarding what Gu Yu said, Gu Qingheng’s first reaction was that he had misheard.
The lawless head of the Wang Clan was going to be beheaded?
How could that be!
He was still so arrogant before, bragging about having someone behind him, how did he end up being beheaded now? This was too magical!
Moreover, Wang Xu’s own sister was the Empress Dowager, so it was even more impossible for him to be beheaded!
“Brother-in-law, are you sure Uncle Tang isn’t joking with you?”
“How could someone joke with me about something like this! It should be true, and it also corresponds to the anomaly from the alliance before!”
“Alliance… Brother-in-law! I had been suspecting the alliance before, and you said it was fine! Now that I look at it, it turns out you were hiding something from us!”
As Gu Qingheng sought an explanation with a face full of doubt, Gu Yu shrugged helplessly, indicating that the news should be true.
Although he had been suspecting that something had happened in the capital, Gu Yu did not make a rash decision without any news.
However, the news from the Tang Sect now confirmed it for Gu Yu.
There had been a change in the capital.
Moreover, it was a huge change.
However, the changes in the capital were not a bad thing for the Gu family.
Therefore, Gu Yu still appeared calm and unhurried, not feeling anything wrong.
Anyway, he wasn’t the emperor… As long as it didn’t pose a threat to the Gu family, everything was negotiable.
“I didn’t know at the time! Now that I know, it’s nothing major, don’t panic.”
“My father is still in the capital! If something really happened, I…”
“You child, why do you always think of the worst! Don’t worry, your father is living very well now, or rather, he is in high spirits!”
“???”
“Do you know Empress Bai Qian? If I guess correctly, the changes in the capital should be related to her. You can start from this… So, I guess Bai Qian is going to become the empress of Linfeng Kingdom.”
Gu Yu could only try to comfort his younger brother-in-law to calm him down.
However, the effect was not good.
Therefore, Gu Yu could only reveal all his speculations to reassure his younger brother-in-law.
With the good relationship between the Gu family and Bai Qian, Gu Qing would definitely be fine.
However, before Gu Yu could finish speaking, Gu Qingheng quickly raised his hand and covered his mouth.
He looked nervous, as if he was afraid that someone would overhear and leak it, which would lead to the destruction of their family!
Words like empress could not be spoken lightly!
“Mmmpph! Mmm… Mmm!”
“Brother-in-law, I’ll let you go now, but don’t say things like that again! This is a matter of great importance, be careful that our family is gone.”
“Mmm mmm mmm.”
When Gu Yu nodded, Gu Qingheng finally released his hand.
After Gu Yu could breathe fresh air again, he immediately flicked the tip of his younger brother-in-law’s forehead, making him yelp in pain and quickly raise his hands to cover his forehead, guarding against Gu Yu making another move.
“You rat-brained person, what are you afraid of! We are in the wilderness now, how can we leak anything! Besides, what I’m saying is true…”
“Brother-in-law!!!”
“Alright, alright, I won’t say it! You were the one who wanted an explanation just now, and when I told you, you weren’t happy! I’ll never tell you again next time, hmph!”
Gu Qingheng did not want his brother-in-law to continue talking about Bai Qian becoming the empress.
Even if it were true, it had not been announced yet, so they could not speak carelessly.
Unlike Gu Yu, who had traveled through time, Gu Qingheng was a native of this ancient era, and he naturally had a sense of awe towards figures like emperors.
Unlike Gu Yu, who didn’t think the emperor was a big deal.
Emperors were also people, weren’t they just one nose and two eyes… Could they perhaps have two noses and four eyes?
“Brother-in-law, you must remember that walls have ears, and never relax your vigilance.”
“I don’t believe that someone will suddenly appear now…”
“Lord Gu! The Empress has sent me to pick you up to the capital, your wife has already gone ahead to the capital!”
Just as Gu Yu’s words were not finished, several fast horses suddenly appeared in front. When the leader quickly rode his horse to Gu Yu, he immediately dismounted and bowed respectfully to Gu Yu.
This made Gu Yu draw a corner of his mouth speechlessly, thinking of his Cassandra mouth… Bad things always come true.
Someone had actually appeared.
