Chapter 116: Famous
“What!!!”
Suddenly hearing news of another Iron Lion elsewhere, Gu Yu’s face immediately showed surprise. He didn’t know why it was such a coincidence!
In such a short time, there was more news!
For the treasure map, Gu Yu had already prepared for a long struggle… but now it was a time of despair, only to see another village appearing!
Traces of the second bone had been found!
“It was a coincidence to hear this news. Someone happened to have relatives in Northern Huazhou, and a letter sent a few days ago mentioned this sunken ship.”
“It is indeed quite a coincidence, but how can we be sure it’s the same as the Iron Lion we saw before!”
“This cannot be confirmed, but upon hearing the legend of the Iron Lion mentioned in the letter, it was exactly as you said.”
“Is that so…”
After hearing Mengyao Gu’s explanation, Gu Yu raised a question.
When he heard that the legend was the same, Gu Yu’s mouth twitched. He had never expected this to be the reason.
The guy who made this treasure map could painstakingly carve the small bones and even think of dividing them into four pieces, but he couldn’t even create a city legend properly?
However, there were also benefits.
That was… they now knew that this Iron Lion had a high probability of being the same as the one they had disassembled before!
The thought of the second bone reappearing in the Jianghu made Gu Yu feel as if he was being tickled by cat’s claws.
He wanted to find that Iron Lion quickly and obtain the second treasure map bone sooner.
“Yu, you’re not thinking of going there now, are you!”
“I have that idea. I don’t know how far Northern Huazhou is from Lian Town. If that Iron Lion is snatched away by someone, it would be truly…”
“You can ask the alliance to help find the Iron Lion and send it over.”
“Alliance?”
As Mengyao Gu looked at the excited expression on Gu Yu’s face, she understood Gu Yu’s personality very well. After discovering the Iron Lion, he wouldn’t be able to sleep comfortably at night without getting his hands on it!
However, Lunar New Year was coming soon.
If Gu Yu set off for Northern Huazhou, he might not be able to return for Lunar New Year!
Therefore, Mengyao Gu directly mentioned the alliance at this time, preparing to send the alliance to Northern Huazhou to bring the Iron Lion to Lian Town and hand it over to Gu Yu.
This would save him an extra trip!
However, when Gu Yu heard about the alliance being instructed, he immediately remembered what his younger brother-in-law had said.
If the alliance came into contact with the Iron Lion now, they might discover its secret…
“The alliance doesn’t know what we want the Iron Lion for, so you don’t need to worry too much.”
“But if we suddenly make such a request, the alliance will definitely be suspicious!”
“Yu, have you forgotten? You previously instructed the alliance to search for medicinal herbs, ingredients, fabric, and poisonous substances…”
Listening to Gu Yu’s hesitant words, Mengyao Gu couldn’t help but smile slightly, and then listed the requests Gu Yu had made to the alliance before.
Thinking about it, just asking for an Iron Lion was not a problem at all.
It wouldn’t make the alliance discover anything… After all, Gu Yu was famous for making many requests.
Usually, Gu Yu wasn’t so worried.
It was just that upon thinking about the secrets hidden in the treasure map, he had too many expectations, which made him unwilling to tolerate any accidents.
“Yes, the alliance won’t think too much. It’s all because Qingheng scared me too much!”
“So, you don’t need to go to Northern Huazhou yourself. Just let the people from the alliance go… For now, let’s prepare, as we will be going to the Capital for Lunar New Year in a while!”
“It’s okay, there’s still quite a bit of time! Anyway, I pack quickly, so I can leave directly then.”
Subsequently, after being persuaded by Mengyao Gu, Gu Yu no longer worried.
His little wife was right!
The alliance wouldn’t care what requests he made… they were already accustomed to it, so they wouldn’t find it strange.
After Gu Yu figured it out, he no longer stood outside. Instead, he returned home with Mengyao Gu, placed the purchased items in the kitchen, and prepared to help cook lunch.
Having lived together for so many years, Mengyao Gu no longer resisted Gu Yu entering the kitchen like at the beginning. Instead, she had become accustomed to the small joy of them cooking together.
From time to time, she would even call her younger brother to help, which made Gu Qingheng very unhappy.
However, unlike before when he helped and his face turned into a long, bitter melon, Gu Qingheng showed a bright smile this time, which greatly surprised Gu Yu and Mengyao Gu. They wondered if Gu Qingheng had taken the wrong medicine?
Why was he so proactive today?
Later, after Tang Lian volunteered, Gu Yu and Mengyao Gu immediately understood.
It turned out that Gu Qingheng was so happy because Tang Lian was going to cook!
To avoid being a third wheel, Mengyao Gu readily lent the kitchen to Tang Lian, letting her be in charge of today’s lunch.
Upon hearing Mengyao Gu’s words, Tang Lian’s face lit up with joy, stating that she would definitely make delicious food!
Unlike those young ladies who never dirtied their hands with housework, Tang Lian, having grown up wandering and especially while living with Mengyao Gu, had learned a lot of cooking skills. She could now showcase her talents in the kitchen.
Moreover, Gu Qingheng was also there to help!
Thinking about what Gu Qingheng had said earlier, Tang Lian felt a sweetness in her heart.
This time, coming to the Gu family was not only to see Gu Yu and Mengyao Gu, but also because Tang Lian missed Gu Qingheng!
There was no way, long-distance relationships were too trying!
After Tang Lian took over the cooking, Mengyao Gu took her spear to the mountain, preparing to practice her spear art while she had the time.
It was also to hunt some game.
As for Gu Yu, he naturally didn’t stay idle. He directly went to find members of the alliance, explained the matter simply, and finally stated that he wanted the Iron Lion as a decoration.
The alliance did not refuse at all. They nodded directly at Gu Yu and said they would go to Northern Huazhou immediately to bring the Iron Lion back.
When Gu Yu heard the alliance say this, he was overjoyed, thinking if he should give them more medicinal powder in the future as a thank you?
“Divine Doctor Gu, there’s one more thing.”
“?”
“It’s like this, my brother is on duty in Lianzhou. A few days ago, he transported a pile of raw jade stones, saying they were a gift for Divine Doctor Gu.”
Just as Gu Yu was about to leave the alliance, the alliance informant he often met suddenly said something, which confused Gu Yu.
However, upon hearing the mention of keywords like “brother” and “Lianzhou,” Gu Yu immediately remembered his twin brother, whom he had almost mistaken him for before.
And Lianzhou, with the Tang Sect, also had very rich jade resources…
He had used a lot of top-quality jade to make jewelry for Mengyao Gu before, so now he could pick some to replenish his stock.
