Chapter 58. Ending Sui Sui, Heaven Doesn’t Pity You, I Pity You…

A few days before Ying Xuanyue took office, Gu Sui packed up his things and went back to prepare for the relevant matters.

A certain city lord directly handed over all affairs of Chaoyang City to Yingge and chased after her to Liangzhou.

When Zheng Wan, who was following Gu Sui, saw that flash of red in the group, her eyes gradually became indescribable, and she hesitated several times.

Gu Sui felt a bit creeped out by her gaze and came up with an idea to explain his relationship with this Lu Yu City Lord.

“The firepower in Chaoyang City is so powerful. If we could get the blueprints from her and bring them back to arm the Gu family army, wouldn’t that be perfect?”

After hearing this, Zheng Wan suddenly understood. So that’s how it was, she thought.

But the young general was sacrificing too much for the Gu family army, even using the beauty strategy!

“Young General, I heard that the Regent in the capital is already critically ill, to the point where she can’t see people. If you think this city lord is not bad, don’t wronged yourself…”

Zheng Wan leaned close to his ear and whispered, but before she could finish, Gu Sui interrupted her with a hammer.

“What nonsense are you talking about, she’s fine!”

Zheng Wan let out an “ouch,” attracting the gazes of many people around, one of which was particularly chilling.

Feeling a chill down her spine, Zheng Wan turned back and suddenly met the dark eyes under the silver mask, taking in a sharp breath.

Gu Sui rubbed his wrist, warned her not to spread rumors, and then dismissed her. Soon, another person walked over to the young man’s empty side.

“I heard I’m about to die?”

The faint voice entered his ears, and Gu Sui couldn’t help but curl the corners of his lips into a slight arc, which he quickly suppressed.

“It wasn’t me who said it, you faked the illness yourself.”

Mu Jiulu: “……”

She didn’t fake a terminal illness!

She was now very curious about where this news came from, quite bold.

At the General’s mansion, Gu Tingsong, who was sharpening her knife, suddenly sneezed for no reason, angering her to use the sharp blade to chop at a Taihu rock standing nearby.

“Damn Mu Jiulu, making my son heartbroken to the point of having to vent on the battlefield, and then chasing all the way to Liangzhou. Now she’s shut herself in, huh, let her die of illness!”

The young officer who witnessed the Taihu rock turning into fragments dared not say a word, keeping eyes on nose and nose on heart, while silently chanting in his heart.

‘Pass it on, the Regent is about to die of illness…’

…

“What does this deputy general of yours mean, hoping for you to remarry?”

Mu Jiulu had good hearing. Although they were far away, she didn’t miss a single word of their whispered conversation, and felt something was off.

Gu Sui tried hard to suppress the curve of his lips, but the small joy in his voice betrayed him.

“Isn’t this because you insist on making yourself a cuckold?”

Mu Jiulu: “……”

This conversation couldn’t continue!

When Gu Sui and his group arrived at Liangzhou City, they found that the former Liang character flags had all been replaced with banners embroidered with the royal dragon totem, refreshing to the eyes and ears.

Mu Jingya, who had been displayed on the city wall for seven days, had fainted from exhaustion and was now being escorted to the capital. Zheng Wan had led people to clean the city wall a few days ago to remove the ill omen.

Gu Sui was very satisfied with this thoughtfulness; he didn’t want to see anything related to Mu Jingya again.

Ying Xuanyue arrived at Chen time the next day, but Gu Sui, who should have gone to the government office to welcome her, was half an hour late.

“Mu Jiulu, can’t you be less beastly!”

The young general cursed angrily while changing clothes, his waist sore and legs weak. The culprit, however, still looked innocent, taking the opportunity to cop a feel while helping him tie his belt.

“Sui Sui, you said yourself that you could handle it. How can you burn the bridge after crossing the river?”

“……”

Gu Sui recalled his stubbornness last night and couldn’t help but cover his face.

As his internal strength and martial arts slowly recovered, he felt he was no longer the Gu Sui who had lost in three moves for the sake of marriage. He should at least be able to assert his authority as a husband.

But he never expected that Mu Jiulu would be so strong!

It was truly life-threatening.

Even because he had become stronger, Mu Jiulu had more room to perform, increasing both frequency and duration. Gu Sui perfectly experienced what it meant to reap what one sows.

“Hmph, I’ll burn the bridge if I want. What are you going to do, bite me?”

The tsundere youth said, raising his chin. Mu Jiulu clicked her tongue lightly and chuckled.

“This was Sui Sui’s own request.”

Gu Sui immediately became alarmed, pushing away her hand and running out in two steps instead of three.

“I have to go to the government office. You go play by yourself!”

As the youth’s smooth hair slipped through her palm, leaving a lingering fragrance, Mu Jiulu watched his retreating figure, raised her hand to her nose for a light sniff, ripples appearing in her eyes.

Still so cute.

When Gu Sui arrived at the government office, it was already Si time. Ying Xuanyue wasn’t impatient at all and even smiled slightly as she bowed to him. Gu Sui felt more and more that this person was easy to get along with.

The handover matters were quite complicated to talk about, but if both parties cooperated, it could be done quickly.

Moreover, Gu Sui was eager to hand over these temporary management affairs, so the speed was so fast that even Ying Xuanyue was surprised.

“The young general is indeed straightforward and efficient.”

Gu Sui waved his hand: “Oh, I thought you would arrive earlier. I had prepared all this when I received the news of your coming.”

Ying Xuanyue’s lips twitched slightly, her face showing a trace of helplessness.

“I was supposed to arrive three days ago, but the General was worried about you and sent someone to come to Liangzhou with me to visit you, which delayed us a bit on the way.”

Gu Sui: “Ah? Who?”

“Me! Me!”

A young man’s crisp voice came from outside the door. Gu Sui turned to look and saw Li Fuyu wearing a narrow-sleeved casual outfit in goose yellow, excitedly pouncing towards him.

“Fuyu?”

Gu Sui was surprised at first, then his gaze moved back and forth between Li Fuyu and Ying Xuanyue, and a meaningful smile curled at the corners of his lips.

This wasn’t specially coming to see him, it was chasing a wife across a thousand miles!

“I missed you so much, Sui brother. I was so worried about you.”

Gu Sui raised an eyebrow: “Not calling me uncle anymore?”

“We’re not in the capital now, I’m more used to calling you Sui brother. Ninth Aunt can’t hear anyway, Sui brother won’t mind, right?”

The youth said, blinking his bright eyes. Gu Sui thought of a certain city lord and thought, that might not be the case.
