Chapter 137: He Knows More Than Just Words!
Fortunately, the people who came were Bai Qian’s subordinates, not others.
After hearing that Mengyao had gone to the capital, Gu Yu didn’t say much. He nodded to the other party and rushed to the capital with them.
He had already guessed Bai Qian’s intentions. Now that she had sent people to invite them to the capital, she was probably planning a major move!
It was better to watch such excitement than not to.
Moreover, the Gu family might even gain a lot of benefits.
The most obvious point was that after the downfall of the Wang Clan, when Bai Qian truly ascended the dragon throne, she would definitely seek forces to support her.
The Gu family could completely take this opportunity to rise.
With the experienced old general Gu Qing above, the brave and skilled Mengyao in the middle, the scholar Gu Qingheng who was about to participate in the imperial examination below, and the wealthy him.
With such a strong lineup, there was no need to think too much.
Only a fool would let this opportunity pass!
Clearly, Bai Qian was not a fool.
Therefore, Gu Yu was not too resistant to going to the capital. However, Gu Qingheng’s little face was scrunched up in distress throughout the journey after hearing what Gu Yu had said earlier, which made Gu Yu very helpless.
Now, he could only let Gu Qingheng figure it out himself. No matter how much he said, it wouldn’t be of much use.
However, judging from Gu Qingheng’s reaction, it was probably the same as the others in Linfeng Kingdom.
Clearly, if Bai Qian really ascended the throne, she would have to go through a very difficult process!
With the guidance of Bai Qian’s subordinates, the journey to the capital was very smooth. Even if there were assassins attacking halfway, there was no need to worry too much.
Before Xi Yang could draw his weapon, in the next second, he was already dealt with by Bai Qian’s people.
In short, there were not many obstacles along the way, allowing the group to quickly reach the capital.
“Lord Gu, you can go to the Gu Residence to reunite with your wife. We also need to report to the Empress.”
“Okay.”
Upon arriving in the capital, Bai Qian’s subordinates immediately asked for leave from Gu Yu, stating that their mission was complete.
There was no need to bring Gu Yu to a specific location; as long as the Gu family members could reach the capital, it was enough.
Gu Yu also nodded and then headed towards the Gu Residence with Gu Qingheng and Xi Yang, preparing to see his wife whom he hadn’t seen in a long time, and also to visit his father-in-law.
On the way to the Gu Residence, the streets of the capital were still as prosperous as ever, as if nothing had happened, which made Gu Yu confirm that the news had not spread.
At least, the common people did not know about this.
In that case, they would probably have to stay in the capital for a while longer.
While Gu Yu was thinking about these things, the three of them also arrived at the Gu Residence’s main gate.
“Son-in-law, you’re finally here! The master has been thinking about you for a long time and wants to see you quickly!”
When the servant at the door came to take the horse, he wanted to curry favor, but unfortunately, he ended up patting the horse directly on the leg.
Now, for Gu Yu… rather than his father-in-law’s longing, he was more concerned about his wife missing him!
“Look at what you’re saying. My father-in-law must be very concerned about me! However, I hope to hear that your young lady misses me dearly and comes to the main entrance every day just to see my handsome figure.”
“…”
Gu Yu’s words left the servant speechless, and Gu Qingheng, who was standing beside him, could no longer stand it.
“Alright, brother-in-law, we know you’re the most handsome! Hurry up and go in. My sister is waiting for you inside!”
“Yes, Qingheng always says nice things. I’ll go in now.”
After Gu Qingheng had appeased Gu Yu in a few words, the group quickly entered. When they saw Gu Qing and Mengyao sitting and drinking tea, Gu Yu was so excited that his pace quickened.
After not seeing each other for a while, his wife looked even more beautiful!
“Father-in-law, your son-in-law is late.”
“Haha, it’s okay, you were busy. As expected of the Gu family’s son-in-law, you were able to help resolve the sect’s conflict. That’s amazing!”
“It was just a coincidence, nothing amazing.”
In Gu Yu’s heart, he had already hugged Mengyao and kissed her a hundred times, but with his father-in-law present, he couldn’t do that.
He could only pretend to be an obedient son-in-law, which made Gu Qing find him particularly pleasing, and his smile was very bright, almost like a withered chrysanthemum.
Look, whose son-in-law is so capable.
Not only is he intelligent and resourceful, but he also possesses great abilities.
After all, old sects like the Tang Sect would not easily ask for help.
Although Gu Qing held a position in the imperial court, he had some understanding of the martial world sects and knew that these sects had great capabilities.
If nothing else, the hidden weapons and poisons of the Tang Sect were very precious items.
If some were used on the battlefield, even with a sneak attack, it could give the enemy a tough time!
His son-in-law was truly good!
“Dad, you’re only looking at my brother-in-law. Your eldest son is still standing here!”
Just as Gu Qing was smiling and about to say something to Gu Yu, Gu Qingheng immediately spoke up to divert his attention. Gu Yu secretly gave him a thumbs-up, and then, while his father-in-law and brother-in-law were talking, he pulled Mengyao away and slipped away.
After getting away from his father-in-law’s sight, Gu Yu quickly hugged Mengyao’s soft body, and the fatigue from the long journey vanished!
His wife was like a super powerful charger, making him full of energy whenever he met her!
“It’s only been such a short time since we last met, why are you so clingy?”
“Wife, don’t you miss me? I think about you every day! I saw beautiful flowers on the way and wanted to pick them to give to you, but because the journey was too far, I couldn’t preserve the beautiful flowers, and only this is left.”
Although Mengyao also missed him dearly, she was still a bit reserved and didn’t say it out loud.
Gu Yu, however, didn’t care about these things. While speaking, he took out the prepared jewelry from his space.
Women love beautiful jewelry, and Mengyao was no exception.
Upon seeing the blood-red bracelet, she couldn’t help but exclaim. She never expected… that Gu Yu would be able to bring back such beautiful jewelry after visiting the Tang Sect.
Gu Yu smiled and took Mengyao’s hand, putting the bracelet on her slender, fair wrist.
The bright red bracelet made Mengyao’s fair skin even more radiant.
“It’s difficult for you to find such a beautiful bracelet. Did it take a lot of effort?”
“For you, even if it takes more effort, it’s worth it.”
“You’re so good with words.”
“I’m not only good with words, but I also know other things!”
As Mengyao said teasingly, a sly smile appeared at the corner of Gu Yu’s mouth. Before Mengyao could react, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.
It was sweet, like honey, and it sweetened his heart.
