Chapter 28 The Sky is High and Birds Can Fly
“Brother-in-law, did you hear the commotion behind us!”
“Nonsense, am I deaf? How could I not hear such a big commotion!”
Not long after Gu Yu and the other two left Huali Town, shouts of fighting and killing immediately arose behind them. This made Gu Qingheng curiously ride his horse to Gu Yu’s side, wanting to instigate his brother-in-law to go and see.
Before, in Huali Town, they didn’t join the excitement because they were afraid of being stained by the smell of decaying corpses. If Gu Yu told Tang Lian about it later, his reputation for a lifetime would be ruined!
However, now that the excitement had caught up with them, not looking would be a disservice to them!
“I say, Qingheng, you’re not young anymore. You need to learn to be as steady as me and not always think about joining the fun.”
However, Gu Yu saw through his younger brother-in-law’s thoughts at a glance and immediately shook his head at Gu Qingheng, making Gu Qingheng so angry that he wanted to jump up and hit him.
What did he mean by not young anymore, he was clearly still very young!
Although he was to take the imperial examination next year, it was precisely because of his extensive knowledge and talent that he was much more capable than ordinary people.
His brother-in-law had become too arrogant recently!
If there were gold and silver treasures behind them, his brother-in-law would be the first to run towards them.
“Brother-in-law, you’re wrong about that. Those who don’t join the excitement are bastards. Let’s go and see!”
“See what? Let the people behind us fight. When they’re done, someone will actively come and tell us what happened.”
Gu Yu absolutely would not agree to go back and check.
They had already wasted a lot of time by staying in Huali Town. If they went to watch the excitement behind them, wouldn’t that delay them even more!
Now, it was best to continue moving forward!
Moreover, even if Gu Yu didn’t go back, he had a rough idea of the situation.
The people from the Tianjue Organization had caught up.
Since Gu Yu learned that the treasure map behind the Sacred Land Gate was the same as the human bone treasure map, he always had a strange feeling.
He always felt that things were too coincidental.
Why was it that as soon as they left the capital to search for treasure, the Tianjue Organization also did the same thing!
It seemed to be timed perfectly, making people highly suspicious of their motives.
After the treasure map behind the Sacred Land Gate was destroyed, the Tianjue Organization immediately caught up with them, further confirming that Gu Yu’s speculation was not wrong.
The Tianjue Organization’s target was their group!
As for why, it should be because the whereabouts of the Iron Lion were discovered by these people… If that was the case, their identities must have been known to the people of the Tianjue Organization in advance.
Everything that happened in Huali Town before was just their test.
Perhaps, stealing the corpses and the Sacred Land were also part of the Tianjue Organization’s plan, which was to lure them into the trap with carefully prepared bait.
In this regard, Gu Yu was not flustered. Instead of being angry at being tricked, he was a little excited.
From the past to the present, anyone who dared to scheme against Gu Yu had never ended well.
This point was also equally effective for the people of the Tianjue Organization.
It was just that he didn’t know what kind of compensation the Tianjue Organization would bring him…
“Oh no, that will take a long time. I’m so curious right now! Yi Dian Hong, go and see what’s happening behind us!”
After hearing Gu Yu’s calm reply, Gu Qingheng was even more speechless. He then turned his gaze to Yi Dian Hong and the swordsman following beside them.
Thinking of Yi Dian Hong’s good lightness skill, Gu Qingheng’s eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly spoke, asking Yi Dian Hong to check it out.
Not knowing what was happening behind them was like an itch that got worse and worse, as if his heart was being scratched by a cat’s claws!
When Yi Dian Hong heard Gu Qingheng’s order, he glanced fearfully at Gu Yu. Upon seeing Gu Yu nod gently, he then quickly rushed backwards.
Seeing this, Gu Qingheng chuckled, his eyes narrowing into crescent shapes.
“Brother-in-law, you’re the best! When your children are a little older, I’ll help you take care of them.”
“By then, you’ll be the top scholar, won’t you? Will you still have time to take care of children?”
“That’s a must. Even if I don’t have time, I have to make time! Brother-in-law, if you don’t let me take care of the children, you’re looking down on me!”
Knowing that Gu Yu had finally softened, Gu Qingheng quickly spoke at this moment, his little mouth babbling nonstop, and sweet words flowed out.
Hearing his younger brother-in-law voluntarily ask to take care of the children, Gu Yu felt very comfortable.
Although Gu Yu also looked forward to having his own children, he was more worried about disrupting the harmony of his marital life.
With the help of his younger brother-in-law, he wouldn’t have to worry too much.
Moreover, Gu Qingheng at that time would definitely be appointed as an official… Tsk tsk, it would be very prestigious if he talked about it in the future.
Other people’s children were taken care of by wet nurses, while his children were taken care of by the top scholar.
“Cough cough, how can you say that to your sister? If you have such intentions, you must put them into action!”
“Heh heh, but you have to let me see my nephew and niece first!”
Glancing at Gu Mengyao riding in front, Gu Yu hypocritically coughed a few times, causing Gu Qingheng’s large eyes to reveal a look of contempt. Clearly, he knew that his brother-in-law was reminding him.
Don’t deny it later.
Looking at his sister’s slightly trembling back, Gu Qingheng figured she must have been secretly amused, which made him shake his head helplessly.
Even if he didn’t say it, he would still have to take care of the children in the future.
Therefore, it was better to appease his brother-in-law now and make the best use of him!
“My lord, a group of people started fighting behind us. It was so intense, with bruised and swollen faces… Oh, and Zha Zha is also here.”
“Zha Zha? Didn’t it run away from home? Why is it following behind! Hmph, the range of running away from home is quite small.”
Not long after, Yi Dian Hong returned.
At the same time, he also brought the latest news about Zha Zha.
In response, Gu Yu snorted coldly, his words filled with contempt.
With Zhou Wen acting as an inside informant, Gu Yu naturally knew that the Golden Bird had never left, but was following behind them, too ashamed to return.
Therefore, Gu Yu was not surprised when he heard the news about Zha Zha.
On the other hand, Gu Qingheng was full of shock when he heard that Zha Zha was behind them. He didn’t expect that Zha Zha hadn’t gone too far.
Gu Qingheng had originally thought that his brother-in-law was too cruel, causing Zha Zha to ‘fly away’ directly.
“Is Zha Zha fighting with the Tianjue Organization with the killers!”
“My lord is wise, that’s indeed the case!”
Without Yi Dian Hong having to say more, Gu Yu’s words immediately made Yi Dian Hong look at him with shock, as if asking, “How did you know that?”
In response, Gu Yu naturally wouldn’t explain anything to Yi Dian Hong. After confirming that his conjecture was correct, he had the team continue to move forward.
With Zha Zha covering the rear, there was no need to worry too much.
