Chapter 13: Doubting Bird Life
Although Zha Zha didn’t return in the end, Gu Yu didn’t intend to look for it. Instead, upon seeing a small town appear in front of them, he and his younger brother-in-law quickly hurried forward!
After camping outdoors for several days, they could finally sleep comfortably in a bed.
This made Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng extremely happy, they were practically jumping for joy.
However, seeing the people passing by, the two of them restrained their emotions and obediently looked for the inn they were staying at for the day.
Gu Mengyao, who was following behind, couldn’t help but smile. She didn’t bother with the two of them.
Admittedly, Gu Mengyao had been greatly tempered in the military camp, making her not as delicate as ordinary people, but rather very capable of enduring the hardships of difficult environments.
As a woman, such experiences were not good.
In fact, if the young ladies from noble families in the capital heard that Gu Mengyao had been treated this way, they would probably shed tears of sympathy and consider her an unfortunate woman.
However, as a general, Gu Mengyao was very fortunate to have received such training.
No honor was gained by simply staying at home; it had to be paid for with a certain price.
Gu Mengyao had no regrets about this.
Perhaps living as a village woman in Yang Family Village would bring a very stable life, but Gu Mengyao was unwilling to settle for mediocrity. To put it more accurately, she yearned to kill enemies on the battlefield!
Gu Mengyao had not told anyone about this thought. Only Gu Yu knew her ambition was great, and he would not stop her, only accompany her.
Having a husband like Gu Yu, Gu Mengyao had thought more than once that she was truly a very lucky woman!
“We finally found an inn. Mengyao, come quickly, let’s rest first.”
Just as Gu Mengyao was thinking about Gu Yu’s goodness, Gu Yu’s voice sounded out. Seeing Gu Yu dismount in front of her, Gu Mengyao immediately smiled and nodded, preparing to approach Gu Yu.
However, at this moment, Gu Mengyao suddenly felt someone staring at her.
A sense of vigilance arose in her heart, but Gu Mengyao’s expression remained unchanged. With her hand, she directly threw a piece of broken silver towards the right.
Without caring whether she had hit the target, Gu Mengyao didn’t turn to look. Instead, she quickly went to Gu Yu’s side and handed the horse to the inn’s attendant to be taken to the stable in the back for feeding.
“Yu, I just discovered someone was watching me. You need to be careful of the person with the injured left eye next.”
“Okay, I’ll be careful.”
As Gu Mengyao followed Gu Yu into the inn, she whispered this into Gu Yu’s ear.
Gu Mengyao was very confident in her martial arts, so she didn’t even need to look to be sure that the broken silver she threw would hit the opponent’s left eye.
If she hadn’t worried about alerting the enemy, Gu Mengyao would have killed the opponent directly!
Gu Mengyao didn’t want to bother with the killers who had been following them, but she didn’t expect them to push their luck and appear so brazenly.
Really, I don’t know how many eyes King Ma has!
Regarding this, Gu Mengyao had no intention of dealing with it herself and instead left it to Gu Yu to handle.
Gu Mengyao was not a foolish person. How many people commanded battles and were foolish? It was just that when she was by Gu Yu’s side, there was no need to use her brain.
Therefore, Gu Mengyao had also guessed some of her husband’s intentions regarding testing medicine… coupled with the information she gathered from her younger brother, Gu Mengyao became even more certain of Gu Yu’s plan.
In the past, she worried about Gu Yu harming innocent people, but now, with so many killers available to test medicine, Gu Mengyao had no intention of stopping him.
However, she didn’t expect…
Thinking of the scene she saw in the inn before, Gu Mengyao felt an urge to laugh. She thought Gu Yu was too considerate of her feelings.
That pretense of his was simply so cute!
If those killers who were tricked by Gu Yu knew what Gu Mengyao was thinking, they would probably all kneel down and bitterly wonder what was cute about that devilish Gu Yu.
Could this be what they mean by “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”?
Regardless of what others thought, Gu Mengyao felt that her husband was the best in the world, so she wanted to stay with Gu Yu forever.
Subsequently, after Gu Yu quickly booked two rooms, because Zha Zha had left, Gu Yu had to take some medicinal powder from his space and give it to Gu Qingheng, asking him to sprinkle it in various places in the room to see if they could catch some killers tonight.
Without Zha Zha watching, it was still a bit troublesome.
However, these were just minor troubles for Gu Yu.
When Zha Zha returned, Gu Yu would settle these scores with Zha Zha, making it doubt its bird life.
“What’s wrong? You’re suddenly so clingy, it’s a bit abnormal!”
“It’s nothing, I just feel it’s so good to be with you.”
“…”
As he was leading Gu Mengyao upstairs, she suddenly hugged his arm tightly, which made Gu Yu look at her with some confusion.
As a result, after receiving a “confession” from Gu Mengyao, Gu Yu couldn’t help but be stunned.
Afterwards, upon realizing what was happening, Gu Yu didn’t hesitate, directly scooped Gu Mengyao up in a princess carry, and quickly ran towards the room he had booked.
This scene truly made him excited to the point of wanting to transform into a wolf!
Since his little wife was being so proactive, he couldn’t do nothing to show his appreciation!
Tonight was destined to be sleepless.
…
“Big bird uncle, please let us go!”
“I really have nothing left!”
“I can’t stand anymore, if this continues, I’ll die!”
The killers who had been following Gu Yu and the other two finally decided to find Gu Yu to clarify things in person, but before they could catch up to Gu Yu, they were stopped by a giant golden bird.
The giant bird didn’t stop everyone. It just occasionally caught someone and toyed with them for a while. However, its speed did not decrease, and it followed the many killers in chasing Gu Yu and the other two.
If everyone were in good condition, they could still contend with this giant golden bird. But now that they were all patients, they could only be rubbed on the ground by this giant golden bird.
Especially since this bird was not an ordinary bird.
As long as its claws scratched their skin, they would immediately feel a wave of weakness, making them unable to muster any strength, as if they couldn’t walk after indulging in pleasures with several women every night.
This state of powerlessness was maddening. They wished they could directly kill the giant golden bird.
However, judging by their size alone, the two parties were clearly not evenly matched.
And those who were not controlled by the giant golden bird continued to chase forward quickly, fearing that they would be targeted by the bird.
Although it wouldn’t be life-threatening, the giant bird’s size was terrifying, making people very worried that they would be caught and pecked. They guessed their heads would be pecked off.
“Zhou Wen, do you know what this thing is? Did Gu Yu send it to kill us!”
Looking at this “fierce” giant bird, one of the killers suddenly spoke. Zhou Wen was stunned when he heard this, he had never thought of it that way.
However, after being reminded, it indeed looked very familiar!
“Caw caw!!!”
