Chapter Ten: You Make a Move!
Ever since Gu Yu’s poison powder showed its effectiveness, the number of followers behind him was not as large as at the beginning, which made Gu Yu feel a little regretful, but he didn’t think about it too much afterwards.
Although there were fewer experimental materials, on this journey to search for the treasure map’s treasures, many people would surely walk into his trap, so he didn’t have to worry about lacking suitable experimental materials.
Gu Yu was very confident in his ability to attract hatred.
This was like a passive skill in a game, which could always be activated inadvertently, attracting a lot of monster attacks.
However, if the ability was weak, one would definitely be chased and beaten by monsters.
But when the ability was powerful, these monsters would be sending themselves to be slaughtered, completely not a match.
“Brother-in-law, what have you done? I feel like the people following us are getting fewer and fewer.”
“I haven’t done anything. I guess they sensed Zha Zha’s king’s aura and dared not come over anymore!”
“Zha Zha!”
Riding horses on the road, while Gu Yu was thinking about whether to get some liquor from his space to drink, Gu Qingheng suddenly leaned over and then whispered.
While speaking, he secretly glanced at Gu Mengyao’s back in front, for fear of being discovered by his sister.
Although the journey allowed him to see the local customs and try special delicacies, the monotonous journey made Gu Qingheng a little bored and he wanted to find some excitement.
And those assassins following them became Gu Qingheng’s source of excitement.
During these days of travel, Gu Qingheng had more than once wanted to set an ambush for the assassins, causing many to fall into their trap… but because of Gu Mengyao’s supervision, he had not succeeded.
He could only resentfully prepare, thinking about making a big move later!
In this regard, Gu Yu did not say much. With Zha Zha’s protection, Gu Qingheng’s life was safe.
Even if Gu Qingheng really wanted to kill those assassins, Gu Yu would not feel anything wrong about it.
These assassins, in Gu Yu’s eyes, were just experimental materials, so he let his brother-in-law fiddle with them.
It also saved Gu Qingheng from causing trouble and disturbing his intimacy with his little wife.
“No way, I feel very strange! How about, brother-in-law, you make a move!”
“Me make a move? You ask your sister first! I don’t want to be criticized and educated…”
Afterwards, hearing Gu Qingheng’s request, Gu Yu smiled and shook his head, indicating that he would absolutely not get involved in this mess.
Originally, his problematic personality had already given Gu Mengyao a lot of headaches.
Gu Yu deliberately put on a good show and finally appeased Gu Mengyao… If he made a move now, wouldn’t all his previous efforts be in vain?
He would not do such a thankless thing!
As for the final effect of the poison powder, the time had not yet come, and there was nothing to discover by looking.
Thinking of this, Gu Yu quickly rode his horse to Gu Mengyao’s side, riding abreast with her as they hurried on.
At the same time, Gu Yu took out a wine pot and two wine cups from his space, drinking wine with Gu Mengyao and admiring the beautiful scenery around them, he was extraordinarily happy.
Behind them, Gu Qingheng, riding his horse, pouted dejectedly, thinking that his plan to pull his brother-in-law into the water had failed, and he wondered if he should continue to execute it…
No, his sister and brother-in-law were being affectionate, and he, the miserable brother-in-law, had no entertainment activities, so he could only torment the assassins following behind him.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingheng took out a bottle of medicinal powder from his arms, then carefully unscrewed the cap and extended his hand into mid-air.
He only tilted it slightly, and the medicinal powder was blown backward by the wind, causing a lot of it to stick to the ground and trees and flowers.
However, because the medicinal powder was very fine, only a little bit of it was not obvious.
Even if one looked intentionally, they would not find any clues, making people fall prey to it silently!
…
“Zhou Wen, why are you stopping us? Have you been bought off by Gu Yu?”
Behind Gu Yu’s group, dozens of big men tracked Gu Yu and the others, their eyes flashing fiercely, wishing they could jump out immediately and chop off the heads of these three people to exchange for piles of gold and silver treasures.
Originally, after many assassins had died of poisoning in the inn, among the remaining dozen or so people, only three chose to continue pursuing the Gu family members, while the rest left with desperate expressions.
These departing people were not foolish, but rather very smart, able to see the current situation.
They could not defeat Gu Yu and find the antidote, so continuing to follow was useless. It was better to take this time to visit famous doctors and see if their lives could still be saved.
In this regard, Zhou Wen had also had such thoughts… but after thinking of Gu Yu’s unfathomable methods, Zhou Wen suddenly felt that there was probably no doctor who could detoxify him.
Therefore, Zhou Wen continued to chase Gu Yu and the others, hoping to get the antidote.
Of course, if he could see the Gu family of three die tragically, Zhou Wen would not mind… At least then he would have a chance to rummage through Gu Yu’s belongings to see if there was any antidote.
With such thoughts, Zhou Wen continued to pursue Gu Yu with the other three. Along the way, they met assassins who arrived later, which caused the number of people in the team to gradually increase, becoming dozens again.
And Zhou Wen immediately sneered when he saw these later assassins eagerly looking at the Gu family, thinking that these newcomers were really dreaming!
How could they possibly contend with Gu Yu’s prowess!
At that time, their lives would all be left here, becoming lonely ghosts.
During the past few days of travel, besides the new recruits joining, what Zhou Wen paid most attention to was the original three companions.
It wasn’t that Zhou Wen was thinking of taking care of them out of camaraderie, but rather that the changes in these three people were too great!
Originally, these three were all accomplished assassins, so their physical conditions were naturally good… but in just a few days, these people had aged rapidly, their bodies had become weak, and their skin had become shriveled!
They had no strength to continue following and could only lie by the roadside and quietly wait for death.
Zhou Wen had never seen such a changeable poison!
If possible, he absolutely did not want to see this!
But now, it was too late… If it weren’t for the pill Gu Yu gave him, he would probably have become like those three.
Weak and powerless, lying alone and abandoned by the roadside waiting for death.
Zhou Wen absolutely did not want to experience such an ending!
Therefore, he, who originally planned to watch Gu Yu and the others be killed, immediately had a significant change in his heart.
Ultimately, Zhou Wen made up his mind.
He wanted to find an opportunity to approach Gu Yu and express his loyalty. Even if he became a slave under Gu Yu, it would be much better than dying miserably here.
As long as he could live, it meant there was hope!
“If you are willing to go to your deaths, I do not wish to stop you, but do not drag me along! You do not know how terrifying Gu Yu is. If he wanted to, with just a handful of poison, we would all be finished.”
“Hmph, who are you kidding! We didn’t get any information saying Gu Yu was also a poison master. As a son-in-law who can’t even lift a chicken, I’ll see if Grandpa kills him first!”
Zhou Wen wanted to persuade these people to calm down and wait, so that he could use these people as a token of allegiance to express his loyalty to Gu Yu, but he did not expect these people to be so impatient after following for several days.
The Gu family of three were like fragrant pieces of meat, making these people covetous, wishing they could swallow them directly.
Therefore, these people chose to chase immediately, and with one knife per person, they could kill the Gu family members.
“Ah! My eyes hurt so much, I can’t see!”
However, at this moment, a killer suddenly shouted in horror and fell off his horse.
