Chapter 149: They Seem To Have Guessed Wrong
After returning home, Gu Qing didn’t say much. Instead, during dinner, he happily prepared to drink some wine to celebrate.
Gongsun Feifei was puzzled by this, but after asking for an explanation, she didn’t get an answer.
Of course, Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng both knew what was going on.
However, since Gu Qing hadn’t said anything, they wouldn’t pry. Instead, they seized the opportunity to escape.
“Qingheng, call Xi Yang to my room later. I have something to tell him.”
“Call Xi Yang over? He’s with Xiao Hong right now. I’m afraid he’ll beat me up.”
“Get out of here and stop the nonsense. Hurry up and call him. I have an urgent matter with him… Oh, and tell him to take the back path when he comes! He can’t be seen by anyone, absolutely no one, or it’ll be trouble.”
“Alright! I’ll tell him.”
Although Gu Qingheng was very curious about what Gu Yu wanted Xi Yang for, he knew not to ask too many questions.
Regarding other matters, it was fine, but when it came to Xi Yang, it usually involved killing people.
His elder sister and brother-in-law would never let him know about such things.
However, Gu Qingheng felt he was old enough now and no longer needed to be treated like a child.
Gu Yu didn’t notice his younger brother-in-law’s melancholy. After speaking, he immediately headed towards his room to continue writing his letter.
Unlike his previous hesitation, Gu Yu’s writing flowed as if divinely inspired this time. He didn’t pause at all and finished the letter in one go.
Since he had someone to manipulate, what was there to be afraid of?
He would directly drag the Zhou family into this.
“Gu Laoda, you were looking for me?”
“Yes. Did you see anyone when you came over?”
“No, didn’t you tell me to be discreet? I used the latrine for cover and used my lightness skill to get here.”
“That’s good.”
“What is it, anyway!”
After Xi Yang sneaked over, Gu Yu immediately asked if he had encountered anyone on the way. Upon receiving Xi Yang’s affirmative answer, he nodded in satisfaction.
It seemed that the servant hadn’t dared to continue monitoring him.
Afterwards, Gu Yu took the white jade chess piece out of his spatial dimension and handed it to Xi Yang.
When Xi Yang saw the white jade chess piece, his expression became confused. He didn’t know what Gu Yu was trying to do… Why was he suddenly giving him a chess piece? Was he planning to play chess together?
However, if it was just for a game of chess, it wouldn’t require such secrecy, right?
“Xi Yang, find a way to get this chess piece into Zhou Li’s hands from the Zhou family. Ensure he doesn’t discard it, and then spread the news externally… expose the existence of this chess piece.”
“Okay, I’ll do it now.”
“Go, and be quick about it!”
Upon hearing Gu Yu’s instructions, Xi Yang felt a sense of relief, thinking that as long as he didn’t have to play chess with Gu Yu, anything would be fine!
He could play with Xiao Hong for half a day in the time it would take to play chess.
Therefore, Xi Yang didn’t ask any further questions. He simply nodded to Gu Yu, took the chess piece, and quickly left.
Afterwards, Gu Yu looked at the letter on the table with a smug smile. Holding the letter in his hand, he swaggered out of the Gu Residence and handed the letter to the people of the Alliance.
He believed Bai Yan would be very surprised to receive this letter!
After all, besides the Emperor, there were other royal bloodlines… This was something that absolutely would not have happened in his previous life.
If you ask why, since Bai Yan had never met him in his previous life, the members of the royal family were long dead.
Where would he find other royal bloodlines!
However, in this life, after he transmigrated, it was like the butterfly effect of a butterfly flapping its wings on the other side of the Earth, causing a super typhoon. The memories of Bai Yan’s previous life had already changed.
This meant… no one knew what the future would hold.
Thinking about these things, Gu Yu walked back towards the Gu Residence. It felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart, making his legs feel lighter. He felt truly happy in both body and mind!
As long as the Gu family was not threatened, he didn’t care what happened to others.
If it were someone else, they might feel a little sorry for the Zhou family, but Gu Yu didn’t feel that way. Instead, he felt the Zhou family deserved it.
This was the consequence of provoking his father-in-law.
They thought it would end with just being beaten with gold bars. They were too naive.
If he hadn’t said it was over, the matter wouldn’t be over.
…
After the lively commotion in the Gu Residence quieted down, late at night, a sneaky figure slipped out and galloped along a secluded path.
Along the way, he looked left and right, worried about exposing his tracks.
However, it turned out to be a false alarm.
“You’re finally here! I thought something had happened to you too!”
“Hmph, you Cassandra! You never say anything good! You say these things every day, it makes me want to hit you!”
“Alright, alright. What’s the situation? Is Gu Yu really of royal bloodline?”
Only after entering a shop did the sneaky figure reveal his face. It turned out to be the servant who had been by Gu Qing’s side earlier, the one who had frantically called for Gu Yu to come to his rescue.
The people sitting inside the shop were very familiar with the servant. As soon as he entered, they urgently began to question him.
This made the servant speechless and roll his eyes. He wondered if they cared about him at all.
Gu Yu was indeed extraordinary. When he saw Gu Yu dealing with the people from the Zhou family today, the servant’s heart clenched… He worried that his true identity had been exposed and that Gu Yu would severely punish him.
Fortunately, things didn’t get that bad.
Gu Yu’s attention seemed to be focused on the Zhou family and Gu Qing, and he didn’t pay much attention to him. This made the servant breathe a sigh of relief, knowing he was safe!
From now on, he would definitely not come for such tasks again!
Even being sent to the border pass to gather information would be much better than being by Gu Yu’s side!
“I’m asking you! What’s going on?”
“I just came into contact with Gu Yu. How could I know immediately! However, I heard the words ‘white jade chess piece’ from Gu Yu today!”
“I knew it! Gu Yu must be of royal bloodline! Such an outstanding person is truly a blessing to the Shangguan family!”
Upon hearing Gu Yu mention the white jade chess piece, the expressions on the others’ faces immediately became excited. They thought that after searching for so many years, they had finally found him!
They were not convinced by the current Emperor.
Now, they finally had a suitable candidate to replace the Emperor!
Although Gu Yu was still young, he was an exceptionally talented genius. They believed that under Gu Yu’s leadership, Linfeng Kingdom would become better and better!
“Wait, I haven’t finished speaking! Although Gu Yu mentioned the white jade chess piece, it wasn’t on him. It was hanging around Zhou Li’s neck from the Zhou family.”
“What!!!”
Seeing the shocked expressions on the others’ faces, the servant helplessly waved his hand, indicating that this was indeed the case.
They seemed to have guessed wrong.
Gu Yu was not a member of the Shangguan family.
