My Wife is the World’s Greatest Divine Martial General – Chapter 651

Chapter 171: Silver is Good, but Freedom is Better!

Originally, Gu Yu wanted to quietly wait for things to end and then leave the capital.

However, he couldn’t help but have silver sent to him.

It was such a good thing, better to have it than not.

So, after Gu Yu pointed a “clear path” for Chengfeng Shan, he saw Chengfeng Shan looking enlightened and obviously understanding the meaning of his words.

Not only would he benefit from Bai Qian, but he could also contribute in terms of materials for weapons and other needed supplies.

Even if Bai Qian wanted to renege on the money for recruiting soldiers and buying horses, it wouldn’t be possible at such a crucial moment.

Besides, who else would he buy from… Chengfeng Shan’s wife, Lin Yue, was Bai Qian’s cousin, and they had a good relationship.

No need to let outside people profit.

Therefore, it was destined that Chengfeng Shan would make a fortune.

Despite feeling a little envious, Gu Yu no longer felt envious when he thought about how busy Chengfeng Shan would be.

Silver is good, but freedom is better!

Moreover, he could also earn some from it… Gu Yu had already agreed with Chengfeng Shan to invest with the dividends, allowing Chengfeng Shan to directly take charge of all the required supplies in the capital, and even investing some silver himself.

They would split the profits 30/70.

Even though he only held a 30% stake, Gu Yu was satisfied.

After all, all he had to do was invest some silver and he could multiply it several times… a good thing like this was impossible to find even with a lantern.

Furthermore, Chengfeng Shan was capable, so there was no need to worry about him messing things up.

After Gu Yu and Chengfeng Shan finished their negotiations, they both satisfiedly ordered another pot of tea, planning to eat at a restaurant after finishing it.

“Speaking of the Wang clan in the capital, they used to be a tyrannical force here! They committed many crimes like forcing good women into prostitution, murder, and arson, but no one could do anything because of their immense influence.”

“Hmph, so what? Now, hundreds of their family members have met Yama, and not a single one survived.”

“Compared to the bad deeds they committed, their deaths were not unjust… but have you considered what’s behind it?”

“Behind it?”

While Gu Yu and Chengfeng Shan were drinking tea, the two people sitting next to them suddenly started talking about the Wang clan. Gu Yu’s hand, holding the teacup, paused for a moment before quickly returning to normal upon hearing this.

Originally, the news of the Wang clan and the Zhou family being executed should have spread throughout the capital for a while.

However, the news of the Emperor’s death was even more shocking.

Therefore, the officials and civilians in the capital had no desire to pay attention to the Wang clan.

Everyone was focused on the Imperial Palace, not knowing what would happen next.

Unlike the civil and military officials who were frowning, the civilians were afraid to even leave their homes, fearing that they would be caught up in some incident for no reason and die.

So, they bought all the necessary supplies for their homes, immediately closed their doors, and prepared for a long siege.

Gu Yu felt a bit regretful about this.

After finally dealing with the Wang clan, if it weren’t for the Emperor’s death, perhaps the people of the capital would still be using it as a topic of conversation, spitting on the Wang clan’s graves.

Letting them not rest in peace even after death.

Gu Yu didn’t think his thoughts were extreme. After all, the Wang clan had caused a lot of trouble for the Gu family in the past.

If he wasn’t somewhat capable, he and Mengyao Gu would have died the first time they encountered the Wang clan.

How could they be alive and kicking like now?

The victor becomes king, the loser becomes a robber.

Clearly, the Wang clan was the losing side.

Especially since Gu Yu was a petty person who kept a mental note of all the enemies he had encountered from the past to the present.

Not a single one would escape.

However, apart from the Wang clan having a powerful backing that made them difficult to deal with, anyone who dared to provoke Gu Yu was either dealt with on the spot or didn’t live long. In any case, their fate was not good.

Therefore, after the Wang clan was executed, Gu Yu showing them mercy by not digging them up from their graves to humiliate them was already quite kind.

Of course, most of it was because it was too disgusting, and Gu Yu couldn’t bring himself to do it.

The Wang clan people did not die very pretty deaths.

“Before the news of the Emperor’s death spread, the Wang clan and the Zhou family were ordered to be imprisoned, ready for execution, and coincidentally, the Empress Dowager went to a nunnery to cultivate and pray, and was suddenly attacked… everything seemed unusual.”

“Alright, even if you can guess what’s hidden behind it, can you change anything! Your mouth, be careful not to bring trouble upon yourself.”

“So what? I’m alone anyway, so if I die, I die.”

“You should find a wife in the capital, so you don’t always talk about death, which makes me worry.”

“What’s there to worry about? When people die, they’re gone like a lamp extinguished. Don’t overthink it, just go with the flow.”

The tea drinkers sitting next to them stopped talking as they chatted.

Perhaps they felt there were too many people around, or for some other reason…

However, the one who said that people are gone like a lamp extinguished made Gu Yu very interested.

This man with a mustache seemed very smart!

He didn’t look like an ordinary commoner.

And, why did he look so familiar???

Hmm, probably just a common face.

Then, Gu Yu didn’t think too much about it. After glancing a few more times, he directly withdrew his gaze and continued chatting with Chengfeng Shan.

When the pot of tea was finished, the two of them didn’t stay any longer and got up to head to the restaurant.

“Lu Xing, listen to my advice, stop doing that dangerous business, be careful of accidents.”

“I’ve been doing it for so many years, I can’t just stop. Don’t worry, I’m not a fool, I’ll escape quickly when I encounter danger.”

When the tea in his cup was almost cool, Lu Xing didn’t continue drinking. Instead, he raised his hand and stroked his mustache, thinking it was time to go back.

As an assassin, Lu Xing didn’t have many hobbies, he just liked drinking tea.

Moreover, he didn’t hide his identity excessively. For example, the person opposite him knew he was an assassin.

Although this behavior of exposing his identity, coupled with the many people Lu Xing had killed, might bring about a fatal disaster, Lu Xing didn’t care.

Or rather, he hoped to attract more people.

This way, he could use torture to extract information and get some inside news.

However, it was a pity… after so many years, he still hadn’t received the news.

Alas!

If only he had money.

Or, if there were more people to kill, he could take jobs and earn silver.

Otherwise, if he kept taking jobs that involved indiscriminate killing, he couldn’t accept them.

Not accepting them meant no money.

No money meant he couldn’t find people.

Alas…

If he had money, he could spend money to go to the alliance and ask them for help finding people.

His little nephew, he didn’t know if he was alive or dead now.

However, when his sister’s family was wiped out, his intelligent nephew was not among them… so Lu Xing was very firm in his belief that his nephew was not dead.

As for the brother-in-law who was still alive…

Hmph!

His sister was dead, but he, however, was still alive, and even opened a dilapidated academy in Lian Town!

He hadn’t seen him for many years, and he didn’t know if Ruan Qingshan had nightmares at night, dreaming of his sister’s tragic death and coming back to seek revenge!
