Chapter 142 He Shouldn’t Have Hesitated
Suddenly being attacked made Gu Yu very unhappy.
Especially when he was unprepared, his somewhat disheveled appearance further spoiled Gu Yu’s mood.
Therefore, Gu Yu decided to torment the other party severely.
However, thankfully, the place was secluded, and no one else was watching… otherwise, they would have seen Gu Yu land in an ungraceful posture, and Mengyao Gu, who was defending against the opponent’s sudden attack, draw her sword with a very dashing movement.
Of course, the sword was provided by Gu Yu’s space…
“You are Gu Yu!”
“Nonsense, if I wasn’t Gu Yu, you wouldn’t have found me! What do you want with me? If you want to assassinate me, you’d better…”
“Young Master, we’ve finally found you!”
“???”
Seeing that the other party did not cover their faces, Gu Yu did not immediately use his medicinal powder. Instead, he began to converse with them.
After all, based on the example of Bai Qian’s subordinates, it was better to ask questions clearly before acting against people who did not wear black masks.
What if he attacked an ally again? That would be awkward.
However, upon hearing the attacker speak with a tearful voice, Gu Yu suddenly regretted it.
He shouldn’t have hesitated.
It would have been so much better to just knock them out and kill them!
It would have saved him a lot of trouble…
Relying on Gu Yu’s excellent intuition, he felt that more trouble was coming.
And it was targeted at him!
“Wait, you can eat as much rice as you want, but you can’t speak carelessly! What young master, I don’t recognize that! I’m just an ordinary village boy, don’t try to trick me into revealing anything.”
Upon sensing trouble, Gu Yu immediately cut off any further conversation, leaving no room for the other party to take advantage.
When the other party heard this, their expressions froze, clearly not expecting Gu Yu’s reaction.
Normally, when called “Young Master,” people would be shocked and disbelieving.
But Gu Yu’s reaction was clearly outside the normal range.
Because he seemed to know what was about to happen… he was very calm, so calm it was frightening.
If Gu Yu knew his identity but did nothing, was he planning something bigger!
If that were the case…
That would be great!
They could completely support Gu Yu to climb higher and contend with the current Emperor of Linfeng Kingdom.
Especially with the Emperor being critically ill, Gu Yu’s opportunity was even greater!
“Young Master, we have been looking for you for many years! We finally found a clue in Lian Town, and after a difficult search, we didn’t find you… We finally found you in the Capital. It is also the blessing of the Prince’s spirit in heaven!”
“What are you talking about? I don’t understand! Gu Yu is from Yang Family Village and has no other identity. Don’t spread rumors!”
“Young Madam, the Young Master is the Prince’s only child. Now that the Prince is no longer here, it is natural for the Young Master to take back the throne!”
Gu Mengyao’s impression of these people was not good because they had killed the coachman. Now that Gu Yu was involved, it made Gu Mengyao even more angry!
However, she did not act directly. Instead, she voiced her doubts to see what kind of answer she would get.
The title “Young Master” was not ordinary.
Especially since Gu Yu was not part of the Old Yang family.
“How are you so sure I am the Young Master?”
“We met with Yang Xingwang, and he said that when he found the Prince, he also found a white jade chess piece. It was during the palace turmoil that year, the old…”
“Oh? In that case, how many people know my true identity?”
“Not many, only we know! After all, we need to confirm it before we can tell others.”
“I see… Mengyao, quickly! Kill them all.”
No one expected that Gu Yu would suddenly make a move while they were talking.
So, after Gu Yu scattered his medicinal powder, Gu Mengyao did not hesitate. She directly drew her sword and killed all the opponents.
Afterwards, Gu Yu arranged the bodies of the deceased and, pulling Gu Mengyao along, quickly rushed to the Gu Residence, preparing to let his father-in-law clean up the mess.
Gu Yu had not listened to them continue their story, which was also because Gu Yu did not want to know too much.
Therefore, after asking how many people knew his identity, Gu Yu did not hesitate at all.
He was now only worried that they might be lying to him… and that others besides these few people knew.
“A Yu, why did you kill them?”
Although Gu Mengyao did not have a good impression of these people.
She still wanted to continue listening when it came to Gu Yu’s background!
However, after Gu Yu gave the order, Gu Mengyao did not disobey… and now she was very curious!
Since he decided to kill those people, Gu Yu must have known the cause and effect!
Therefore, asking him now would definitely get the right answer.
When Gu Yu heard Gu Mengyao’s question, he couldn’t help but smile helplessly, knowing that his little wife wouldn’t easily forget this matter.
However, he didn’t want to hide anything.
Gu Yu felt that he should not hide anything from his closest partner.
“Although they hadn’t finished speaking, combined with what is known, it’s not good for me. Because of the white jade chess piece they mentioned, I really have one… Remember what we said in the carriage just now? If a royal bloodline appears, they can compete for the throne with Bai Qian.”
As Gu Yu spoke, he shrugged at Gu Mengyao and shared the information he knew.
With the appearance of the white jade chess piece, Gu Yu was certain of his identity.
Or rather, his adoptive father, who was forced to hit the wall and die by the Old Yang family, was not an abandoned infant but a member of the royal bloodline.
Looking at the royal turmoil that occurred many years ago, it was likely the result of a tragedy.
Gu Yu did not take this to heart.
If it were before Gu Yu transmigrated, the original owner of this body would have been extremely happy to hear this… provided he could live this long.
Gu Yu, who transmigrated from modern times, did not feel happy about this identity, but rather troubled.
If he had gained the identity of a Young Master when he first transmigrated, it would have been a perfect start.
But now, after working hard to achieve something, just as he was about to usher in happy days, this happened all of a sudden???
Bai Qian’s desire to become Empress was very strong, and having to compete with her would lead to more unrest.
Moreover, Gu Yu had no interest in the throne.
Being an Emperor was so tiring!
Reading memorials every day, going out of the palace was like celebrating the Lunar New Year, and being urged by ministers to have children… Gu Yu was already annoyed by his father-in-law’s urging, and having more would drive him crazy.
He didn’t have any official position now. Weren’t the leisurely days spent with his little wife fragrant enough!
Moreover, he could have anything he wanted, and whether he became Emperor or not didn’t make much of a difference.
“But… Mengyao, do you want to be Empress?”
