Chapter 133 Lord Longyang of Wei

Chapter 133 Lord Longyang of Wei

Mrs. Ni was indeed still awake.

When Gu Yu entered the room, she was engrossed in reading a scroll of bamboo slips.

"What is Mrs. Ni looking at?"

Gu Yu smiled and stepped forward.

"Oh, sir, you've arrived?"

Mrs. Ni stood up, seemingly flustered, her face flushed for some reason.

"Yes, I was just passing by and saw that you were still awake, so I thought I'd chat with you for a bit. I hope I didn't disturb you?"

""

"No, no, sir, please have a seat."

Madam Ni gestured for Gu Yu to sit at the table and poured him a cup of tea.

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Ni once again extended her small, white hand to pour tea.

At that moment, Gu Yu suddenly grabbed her hand.

"what!"

Mrs. Ni exclaimed in surprise.

The next moment, she was pulled into Gu Yu's arms.

Gu Yu knew very well that Madam Ni was much more conservative, and it was unlikely that she would be as proactive as Madam Ya.

Since the two of them had already been intimate once before, he had to add fuel to the fire.

"Ugh————"

Mrs. Ni only struggled a few times instinctively.

Then, she seemed to melt into Gu Yu's embrace—

It wasn't until dawn that Gu Yu finally felt refreshed and left Madam Ni's room.

Mrs. Ni lay on the bed, looking languid and shy, her cheeks flushed red, like blooming peach blossoms.

It was early morning.

A group of uninvited guests suddenly arrived at Lord Xinling's residence.

"Your Majesty, Lord Longyang requests an audience!"

Wei Wuji looked surprised: "Lord Longyang?"

It is common knowledge that he and King Anli have always been engaged in open and covert struggles. Moreover, Lord Longyang is one of King Anli's closest confidants, so his visit at this time is probably not for any good reason.

However, since the person had already arrived, he couldn't refuse to receive them.

Soon after, Gu Yu also arrived at the front hall.

Seeing is believing.

Although he was somewhat prepared, Gu Yu was still surprised when he first saw Longyang Jun.

This woman—no, this man—was truly "exquisitely beautiful." Even dressed in men's clothing, he couldn't hide the allure emanating from his very being.

If he were dressed in women's clothing, Gu Yu believed that Longyang Jun's "charm" would probably be no less than that of great beauties like Lady Ya and Lady Ni. He would be absolutely stunning, and it's no wonder that he would win the favor of King Anli.

Upon seeing Lord Xinling and Gu Yu, this fellow smiled sweetly and said, "I came uninvited, and I hope Lord Xinling will not blame me."

Gu Yu suddenly got goosebumps.

Wei Wuji laughed and said, "How could that be? Lord Longyang is an honored guest; I am more than happy to welcome him."

After exchanging a few polite words, Lady Longyang couldn't help but look at Gu Yu and said in a sweet voice, "I have long admired General Gu's name and have never forgotten him. Today I finally get to meet you. You are truly a dragon among men—"

As she spoke, she even cast a few flirtatious glances at him.

Gu Yu coughed lightly and laughed, "What merit do I have to trouble Lord Longyang with such concern?"

After chatting for a while, Lord Longyang said, "I've heard that General Gu is the number one swordsman in Zhao. I'd like to see for myself."

Gu Yu said, "Lord Longyang is joking. My skills are meager; how dare I presume to call myself the number one swordsman in Zhao?"

At this moment, a middle-aged man standing next to Lord Longyang stepped forward, looked at Gu Yu provocatively, and said, "I am Sha Xuan, and I would like to learn a few moves from General Gu. I wonder if General Gu would do me the honor?"

Lord Longyang laughed and said, "Sha Xuan is a master in the royal court, and like me, I have long admired General Gu's name. Now that I have finally met General Gu, I naturally do not want to miss the opportunity to spar with a master."

Wei Wuji seemed not to hear, and silently drank his tea.

He knew that Lord Longyang and his party had clearly come to test Gu Yu's strength and weakness, which was exactly what he wanted.

Because he also wanted to see if Gu Yu's skills were as amazing as the legends said.

Seeing that Wei Wuji remained silent, Lord Longyang smiled and said, "It seems that Young Master Wuji has no objections. I wonder if General Gu could allow me to broaden my horizons?"

Gu Yu smiled and said, "When a guest is at ease, I will follow the host's lead. I would naturally not want to spoil Lord Longyang's mood."

So the group went to an open space outside.

As they were leaving, Wei Wuji deliberately walked up to Gu Yu and whispered, "Sha Xuan is the head of the eight Iron Guards around King Anli. If there's a chance, we might as well kill him, so we can have one less opponent."

His words suggested that he already regarded Gu Yu as someone close to him.

"If we kill him, I'm afraid Lord Longyang and King Wei will be displeased?"

Wei Wuji sneered, "Even if you don't kill him, he will kill you. Do you know how many people Sha Xuan has killed under the pretext of sparring?"

Several of my skilled guards died by his sword.

"Understood."

Gu Yu certainly didn't want to be used as a pawn by Wei Wuji.

However, if Sassoon is determined to kill him, he will naturally not show mercy.

As expected, Wei Wuji was right.

The agreement was supposed to be a friendly spar, but Vidal Sassoon's first move was a killing blow, revealing the cold killing intent in his eyes.

Gu Yu retreated seven or eight steps, merely parrying with his sword, which made Wei Wuji frown.

However, Lord Longyang squinted, seemingly having noticed something.

On the surface, Gu Yu seemed to be at a disadvantage, forced to defend himself by Vidal Sassoon.

However, Lord Longyang was also a master, even Sha Xuan was no match for him. Therefore, he could see that although Gu Yu seemed to be at a disadvantage, he was actually in complete control.

It seems this kid truly lives up to his reputation.

At this point, Vidal Sassoon seemed to become somewhat impatient.

His swordsmanship wasn't particularly outstanding, but he possessed superhuman strength, and his sword was specially made, thick and heavy, often capable of severing an opponent's sword with a single strike.

However, when he sparred with Gu Yu, he found that his strength seemed to have no effect, like punching a cotton ball.

"Go to hell!"

Suddenly, Sha Xuan shouted, his power erupting instantly as he thrust his sword toward Gu Yu's chest.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yu dodged to the side and simultaneously thrust out his sword.

Lord Longyang was greatly surprised and hurriedly said, "General Gu, please show mercy!"

Unfortunately, the moment he opened his mouth, Gu Yu's sword tip had already pierced Sha Xuan's throat.

"good!"

Wei Wuji's spirits lifted, and he couldn't help but cheer loudly.

Seeing Sha Xuan lying in a pool of blood, Lord Longyang frowned, then smiled coquettishly and clapped his hands, saying, "Excellent swordsmanship! General Gu has indeed not disappointed me."

Gu Yu cupped his hands in apology: "I am ashamed. I had no intention of killing anyone, but alas—"

Before he could finish speaking, Lord Longyang smiled and said, "Sha Xuan sought his own death; General Gu need not take it to heart."

77

"Thank you, Lord Longyang!"

Lord Longyang then ordered his entourage, "Men, take the corpse away."

Gu Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Although Lord Longyang was a bit effeminate, he possessed a rare heroic spirit. He was able to win the favor of the King of Wei, probably not just because of his "looks".

After Lord Longyang and his entourage left, Wei Wuji was overjoyed and laughed, "Brother Gu is truly a master. Today, he finally avenged me."

"No, no, not at all—"

Gu Yu said modestly.
