Chapter 126 Lady Ya's Divine Assistance
Everything is ready.
Early that morning, the procession gathered at the Great Training Ground, where King Zhao personally presided over a sacrificial ceremony to pray for everyone's safe journey.
The army that accompanied the expedition consisted of a total of 700 soldiers, of which 500 were light cavalry dispatched by the King of Zhao, and the remaining 200 were the personal guards of Lady Pingyuan.
In addition, Lady Ya and Lady Ni were also in the wedding procession.
In fact, at first King Zhao only arranged for Lady Ya to accompany him, but Lady Ni took the initiative to go to the palace to request that she personally escort the princess to her wedding.
After the sacrificial ceremony, the procession left the city in a grand procession.
This time, Lady Ya made quite a grand entrance, bringing eight maids, each dressed in military attire, which gave her a rather unique air.
In addition, she brought more than a dozen retainers with her.
That night.
Gu Yu was looking at a map in his tent when suddenly, two delicate beauties walked in, accompanied by a fragrant breeze.
"Mrs. Ni, Mrs. Ya, please have a seat."
Gu Yu, beaming with joy, stood up and went to greet him.
After sitting down and chatting for a while, Madam Ya said with a serious expression, "Gu Lang, you must be careful of Shao Yuan Jun. I'm worried that he will oppose you along the way."
Gu Yu smiled and said, "It's alright. If he only wants to cause minor trouble, I'll let it go. But if he dares to act recklessly, I won't let him off easily."
At this moment, Lady Ni spoke up, "Sir, I have come today to tell you that someone is trying to sabotage the marriage alliance between the states of Zhao and Wei."
"Oh, who could it be?"
"The State of Qi!"
"Could it be about the unification of the three Jin states?"
Lady Ni nodded: "That's right. Lord Xinling of Wei has been actively promoting this matter, hoping that Wei, Han, and..."
The three states of Zhao were united, restoring the former hegemonic status of the state of Jin.
Gu Yu laughed and said, "That's just wishful thinking on his part. Separating is easy, but getting back together is difficult, after all, it involves the interests of too many people."
Lady Ya laughed and said, "That's right. If we really unite, who will become the Prince of Jin? I'm afraid no one will submit to anyone else. Even if someone is willing to abdicate, what about the nobles of the various countries? It might get even more chaotic."
Lady Ni sighed and said, "That's true, but we still have to be careful. I've received word that Qi came prepared this time, sending a man named Wei Mou to Wei."
Upon hearing the name, Madam Ya was startled: "It was him?"
Now that a hundred schools of thought are contending, Xiao Weimou has also joined in the fun, actually creating a new faction—the Beastly Path.
It's not that others are insulting him.
Xiao Weimou believed that animals best understood the way of heaven and earth, so if humans wanted to return to nature and become one with heaven and earth, they had to indulge their desires, follow the law of the jungle, and do whatever they wanted.
His words and actions were entirely in line with his beliefs; he and his disciples committed arson, murder, looting, and all sorts of atrocities.
This man was born with superhuman strength. It is said that he could fight a lion with his bare hands and tear apart a tiger or leopard. He was highly regarded by Tian Dan, a famous general of the State of Qi.
There are also rumors that Xiao Weimou and Tian Dan are actually sworn brothers from the same clan, and that Xiao Weimou secretly acts as Tian Dan's henchman, eliminating his political enemies.
After chatting for a while, Madam Ya suddenly stood up and said, "Sister, didn't you have something to say to Gu Lang? You two can continue your conversation. I'll go back first."
After saying that, she gave Gu Yu a meaningful look and walked out of the tent with great charm.
Mrs. Ni stood up, her face flushed with embarrassment, and stammered, "No—she—"
Gu Yu immediately guessed that Madam Ya was doing it on purpose.
This woman is ruthless; she'll even betray her own sister.
That was an absolute godsend.
So Gu Yu smiled and raised his hand: "Mrs. Ni, please sit down."
Therefore, Mrs. Ni could not leave and had to sit down again.
"Um—sir, Pan'er has recently corrected many of his bad habits, and his swordsmanship has also improved significantly, all thanks to your guidance."
Gu Yu smiled and said, "Madam is too kind. Your son is already quite talented, and I only provided some guidance."
After chatting for a while, Madam Ni glanced outside the tent and whispered, "It's getting late, I won't disturb you any longer, sir."
"Yes, I will escort Madam back to her tent."
The two walked out of the tent together and headed towards Lady Ni's tent.
"what!"
After walking for a while, Mrs. Ni suddenly cried out in surprise and fell backward to the ground.
It turned out that she had accidentally stepped on a round stone.
Fortunately, Gu Yu was quick-witted and grabbed her waist.
The soft, fragrant flesh embraced Gu Yu, and his heart fluttered. For a moment, he forgot to let go.
Mrs. Ni tried to stand up, but for some reason her body went limp. She felt a strange sensation spreading throughout her body, making her feel drunk, and her body became somewhat hot.
"Madam, are you... are you alright?"
Gu Yu lowered his head and asked softly.
"No—it's nothing—"
Mrs. Ni closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling, not daring to look at Gu Yu.
Her alluring appearance made Gu Yu unable to resist, and he slowly lowered his head—
Mrs. Ni seemed to sense something, and her delicate body trembled slightly.
After holding on for so many years, in the end, it still couldn't be held on anymore?
This time, the reason she took the initiative to ask her brother to go on a diplomatic mission to the State of Wei together, ostensibly to escort the princess to her wedding, was actually because she knew very well what her real purpose was.
It was all because of the man who was holding her.
Since her husband's death, she has remained chaste and has never shown any interest in other men.
But fate is so wondrous. The first time she saw Gu Yu, especially after witnessing his agile figure in the main hall, her heart stirred with a slight flutter.
How shrewd was Lady Ya?
She had already guessed her sister's thoughts, so she deliberately left her behind tonight to create an opportunity for the two of them.
"Sh ...
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps broke the ambiguous atmosphere.
Mrs. Ni quickly stood up and hurried forward.
Gu Yu felt rather regretful.
But on second thought, this is a good start. Anyway, there's still a long way to go, and there will be plenty of opportunities.
After escorting Madam Ni back to her tent, Gu Yu went to Madam Ya's tent next door.
"General!"
As soon as he arrived, four men came forward to greet him and bowed respectfully.
These four men were the most capable servants in Madam Ya's household. All four were orphans and took Madam Ya's surname, Zhao. They were named Zhao Da, Zhao Er, Zhao Wu, and Zhao Qi.
Gu Yu smiled and agreed, then strode into the tent.
Mrs. Ya seemed to have guessed he would come, but deliberately teased him, saying, "I thought you would be sleeping at Ni Meiren's place tonight."
"You little hussy."
Gu Yu suppressed a laugh, stepped forward, and slapped her plump buttocks.
"Ugh~"
Lady Ya scolded him.
Then she laughed and said, "You, people gave you a chance, but you couldn't seize it."
Gu Yu said irritably, "I've never seen a younger sister like you."
Madam Ya wrapped her arms around Gu Yu's neck, almost hanging on him, and said with a coquettish laugh, "Come on, you're probably too happy to even think about it. Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities along the way—"
At this point, she leaned closer and chuckled, "Have you ever thought about it? We're like sisters, one on your left and one on your right—"
Fairy!
Gu Yu felt a surge of excitement.
Soon, a burst of playful noises came from inside the tent.
