Farming with kids: My deceased husband returns and I spoil him rotten.
Chapter 472: Getting Straight to the Point
"Send a message to General Gu?" the soldier asked, somewhat puzzled.
Chen Gangping nodded slightly: "No matter what, we still need to tell him about this, so that he knows who took the risk for him. Go."
The soldier accepted the order and went immediately.
……
Although Gu Yu had arranged everything for Shang Qing, he still couldn't help but worry.
He was completely unaware of their plans while in prison, and this made him very uncomfortable.
Just then, a jailer arrived. He looked at Gu Yu and said indifferently, "Come here, it's time for your meal."
Gu Yu took a serious look at the jailer and found that it was the one who had been bribed by Chen Gangping. His eyes changed immediately. He had a premonition that he would hear some information.
He walked over slowly and stood in the cell, calmly looking at him.
Seeing his state, the jailer said with great dissatisfaction, "You're so slow when I give you food? If you don't want to eat, then don't eat at all."
Gu Yu glanced at the jailer indifferently, without saying a word.
After saying this, the jailer handed the tray to Gu Yu and then walked away cursing.
Gu Yu glanced down at the tray in his hand, quickly took it aside, and picked up the bowls and plates on it.
Sure enough, he found a note under the plate. He glanced outside warily, and only after seeing the beauty did he dare to take the note out to read it.
Upon seeing the message that Shang Qing had safely arrived at the Hu tribe, Gu Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Hu people? Zhuge Tian? Could it be that they plan to get Zhuge Tian to help me? Who came up with this idea? Shang Qing doesn't know Zhuge Tian, so it can only be Chen Gangping."
Gu Yu crumpled the note and then stuffed it into his mouth.
At the same time, he made up his mind to punish Chen Gangping severely after he got out, for letting Shang Qing do such a dangerous thing behind his back.
……
The ceremony of the Hu tribe's high priest receiving the worship of the people would last for many days, and during this time, Shang Qing and his companions would often come to take a look, though only briefly.
After watching, I will leave.
On the last day, Zhuge Tian, who was receiving the homage, was enjoying everything with his eyes closed when he suddenly sensed an unfamiliar presence and detected Gu Yu's presence within it.
Realizing this, Zhuge Tian immediately opened his eyes and looked around.
He disliked Gu Yu. He was very confident in his military abilities, and was initially angry after being defeated by Gu Yu.
Subsequently, through repeated battles, he became increasingly convinced of Gu Yu's abilities, believing him to be the only opponent in the world who could rival him.
He both admired and disliked him, a very contradictory feeling. He was very familiar with Gu Yu's aura and felt that he must have appeared here before.
After receiving the homage, Zhuge Tian left immediately and returned to his residence.
Sure enough, after arriving at the mansion, his senses grew stronger and stronger. He went straight to his study, expecting to see Gu Yu, but instead found himself in the presence of a strange woman.
"High Priest."
Shang Qing had just opened his mouth to say something when Zhuge Tian stopped him.
"Alright, get out of here. I don't want to see you right now."
When Zhuge Tian saw Shang Qing, he was furious. He thought that it was another woman the leader had arranged for him so that he could have children.
Shang Qing hadn't expected to be kicked out by Zhuge Tian before she could even speak. She quickly said, "High Priest, I came here to see you because it's important."
Zhuge Tian became even angrier when he saw that she made no move and seemed to have no intention of leaving.
"I told you to leave, but you wouldn't. Well then, you'll leave your life here. Guards!"
Zhuge Tian looked at Shang Qing and spoke.
Soon, the subordinates who had been waiting outside rushed in, looking at Shang Qing warily.
Meanwhile, the subordinates who had been hiding in the shadows immediately revealed themselves and stood in front of Shang Qing when they saw Zhuge Tian's men enter with weapons, fearing that she would be harmed.
When Zhuge Tian saw the people protecting her, he sneered: "The leader still sent people to protect you? What a pity, your life must remain here, only in this way can I express my loyalty."
As he spoke, Zhuge Tian prepared to send men to throw Shang Qing out and hack him to death, to show the leader his determination to study tactics diligently.
Upon hearing his words, Shang Qing instantly realized that he had misunderstood her.
“I think the High Priest has misunderstood. I was not sent by your leader, nor are we from the Hu tribe. Gu Yu sent me.”
Shang Qing walked directly from the back to the front, looked at the High Priest with neither arrogance nor servility, and spoke word by word.
Zhuge Tian simply didn't believe it: "Gu Yu sent you? Where's your evidence? How can you prove that he sent you to find me?"
He gave Shang Qing a deep look, then turned his gaze to the people who had just protected her. He recognized them as Chen Gangping's confidants.
Zhuge Tian naturally understood the relationship between Chen Gangping and Gu Yu, and had a little more trust in Shang Qing's identity, but he still needed evidence before he could feel at ease.
Shang Qing sighed. Proving her identity to Chen Gangping was easy, but proving it to Zhuge Tian was not.
"What? You can't even explain your own identity, yet you expect me to trust you? Aren't you overthinking this?"
Zhuge Tian looked at Shang Qing calmly and spoke slowly, word by word.
Shang Qing didn't intend to prove her identity to Zhuge Tian anymore. She went straight to the point and said, "High Priest, you will know my identity after you meet Gu Yu."
"I have come to you today because I hope that the High Priest can help Gu Yu prove that he has not colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. This is a small matter, and it should be easy for the High Priest."
Zhuge Tian walked to a chair and sat down, saying calmly, "Treason and betrayal? What does that mean? I don't quite understand."
“Gu Yu has been falsely accused of treason and collusion with the enemy. He urgently needs to prove his innocence. High Priest, although you are rivals, I think you also respect each other.”
"You wouldn't want your opponent to be wrongly accused because of some fabricated crime, would you? And I think you would also like to win a fair and square victory, wouldn't you?"
Shang Qing turned his head to look at Zhuge Tian and said, word by word.
Zhuge Tian suddenly chuckled: "Now that you mention it, it's tempting, but unfortunately, I don't have that thought."
"What does the High Priest mean by this?" Shang Qing asked.
"I don't quite understand. Since you know he was framed, why didn't you go and find evidence to prove it? Instead, you came to the Hu tribe to find me. That's not normal."
The high priest leaned forward slightly and looked at Shang Qing, saying, "Besides, why should I help Gu Yu? His death would be beneficial to me."
