All Heavens: Starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 121 I have a bold idea...

Chapter 121 I have a bold idea...

Tingfang was startled, thinking that the eldest young lady had come to question her, and her face turned pale with fright.

Gu Yu nodded: "I got back late last night, so I didn't want to bother you."

Wu Tingfang walked up to Gu Yu and whispered in his ear, "People thought you spent the night at Madam Ni's place."

Gu Yu was both annoyed and amused, and slapped her on the bottom: "What nonsense are you thinking?"

In front of the servants, Wu Tingfang couldn't help but feel embarrassed and annoyed. She couldn't resist kicking him and scolding, "How annoying! Why did you hit me?"

Gu Yu laughed and said, "Spare the rod and spoil the child."

"Hmph!" Wu Tingfang snorted. "Hurry up and eat your breakfast. Father will need to see you later."

After finishing breakfast, Gu Yu went to the study and found Wu Yingyuan.

Wu Shilu was also in the study. Before Gu Yu could even bow, Wu Yingyuan said with a solemn expression, "Ayu, something terrible has happened."

.

Gu Yu was startled and blurted out, "The King of Zhao has made his move ahead of schedule?"

Wu Yingyuan shook his head: "It's not the King of Zhao, but something terrible has happened in Qin. We just received the news last night that King Zhaoxiang of Qin has passed away."

This day has finally come.

Gu Yu feigned surprise: "Won't the Qin Kingdom descend into chaos?"

Wu Yingyuan said, "It shouldn't be the case. Crown Prince Xiaowen has already ascended the throne, and there is a key figure involved in this."

"Who?"

"Lü Buwei!"

Before Gu Yu could speak, Wu Shi Luo interjected, "A Yu, you don't know this, but our Wu family has always had secret ties with Lü Buwei. We originally hoped that he would become our Wu family's backer."

"However, King Xiaowen never truly trusted Lü Buwei. He treated him with courtesy on the surface, but to this day, Lü Buwei remains a guest minister with a fief of a thousand households. Now that King Xiaowen has ascended the throne, it is unknown how he will deal with Lü Buwei."

Wu Yingyuan sighed, "If Lü Buwei falls, it will sever the Wu family's ties with the Qin state. In that case, if the King of Zhao makes a move, we will be in a rather passive position."

Originally, the father and son had planned to return to the Qin state as their escape route, so that the Wu clan could return to their roots.

However, if Lü Buwei were to get into trouble, and they were to return to Qin, they might also arouse the suspicion of King Xiaowen, and the consequences would be unpredictable.

Gu Yu could naturally guess the worries in the hearts of the father and son.

What's there to worry about?

Could he possibly tell Wu Shilu and his son that King Xiaowen died after only three days on the throne?

Moreover, there is a delay in the transmission of information. While they are sitting here discussing, King Xiaowen may have already passed away, and Crown Prince Ying Yiren may have hastily ascended the throne to become the new King of Qin.

So Gu Yu said, "Patriarch, Young Master, I have a bold idea."

Wu Yingyuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Quick, tell me about it."

"9

In my opinion, King Xiaowen's ascension to the throne may not necessarily be a bad thing.

"Oh?"

Gu Yu continued, "Once he ascends the throne, Prince Yiren will rightfully become the crown prince. Although Prince Yiren and Lü Buwei managed to escape back to Qin, his eldest son is still in Handan—"

Upon hearing this, Wu Shilu and his son exchanged a shocked glance.

"Hahaha!"

Then, Wu Shi Luo couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Wu Yingyuan looked pleased and patted Gu Yu on the shoulder: "Great minds think alike. In fact, the reason I called you here today is to discuss this matter."

"Oh?"

Gu Yu feigned surprise.

"In fact, Lü Buwei had already contacted us, asking our Wu family to find a way to rescue Zhu Ji and her child and bring them back to Qin. Once this is accomplished, both Lü Buwei and our Wu family will be great heroes of Qin."

Gu Yu nodded: "That's right, this is indeed a remarkable feat."

Wu Yingyuan added, "However, the Zhao state is guarding Zhu Ji and her son very closely. It would be easy to rescue them from the hostage residence, but it would be quite difficult to take them away from Handan City."

Wu Shi Luo nodded: "Even if we manage to get them out of Handan by chance, the Zhao state will definitely send a large army to hunt them down. Therefore, we must plan this matter carefully and not act rashly."

Wu Yingyuan chimed in, "That's right! We only have one chance. If we fail, not only will Zhu Ji and her son be doomed, but our Wu family will also be doomed."

After discussing for a while, Wu Yingyuan finally said, "Ayu, this matter is of utmost importance. Currently, only the three of us and Tao Fang know about it. We must not reveal a single word about it."

Gu Yu said solemnly, "Don't worry, how could I possibly tell anyone about something so important?"

"Fortunately, we still have time. King Zhao has long wanted to wage war against Yan. Now that Qin is in mourning, he will surely take the opportunity to send troops to Yan. In this way, we can make our plans at our leisure."

The following morning, Gu Yu returned to the small courtyard and found Shan Rou.

After a night of rest, she seemed to be in better spirits, and her originally pale cheeks had regained some color.

Gu Yu smiled and said, "It looks like you've recovered quite well."

After hesitating for a moment, Shanrou finally bowed sincerely and said, "Thank you for your righteous help, young master. I will never forget your great kindness."

An assassin like her, whose ultimate goal in life is revenge, is the last person she wants to owe favors to.

Unfortunately, I ended up owing a huge favor.

"Please don't stand on ceremony, young lady. Sit down. I need to check how your wound is healing."

"ah?"

Shanrou blushed instantly.

If the injury were elsewhere, it wouldn't be a big deal, but that wound—

Gu Yu couldn't help but joke, "Anyway, you don't really see yourself as a woman, so what's there to be embarrassed about?"

Shanrou: "————"

That's it.

Since I've already seen it, there's nothing to be embarrassed about.

So, she slowly turned around, silently unbuttoned her clothes, revealing her smooth, jade-like back.

Her beauty differed from that of Wu Tingfang, Lady Ya, and others; there was always a cold and aloof air between her brows, like a plum blossom blooming in the snow.

She has a tall and well-proportioned figure. Due to her years of martial arts training, there is not an ounce of excess fat. Her muscles are full and her lines are beautiful, giving her a unique charm.

Gu Yu moved to stand in front of her.

At this moment, Shanrou kept her eyes tightly closed, her long eyelashes fluttering incessantly, and her cheeks were flushed with a hint of rosy blush, revealing a rare touch of girlish shyness.

Gu Yu admired the wound quietly for a while before leaning forward to examine it closely.

"Hmm, you're recovering well. Let me change your dressing first."

Gu Yu then found some more wine, used a cloth to soak up the wine and cleaned the wound, and then began to apply medicine.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, his palm swept across the bottom of the bowl shape several times.

Whenever this happens, Shanrou's body trembles, and her skin even turns a faint blush.

No matter what, she is still a woman.

The two were so close, and their situation was so ambiguous.

Add to that the wafting scent of a man, and the warmth of Gu Yu's fingertips.

No matter how cold her heart is, people still have instincts.

Shanrou can control her mind and her actions, but she cannot control her body's instinctive reactions.

Fortunately, Gu Yu stopped at the right time.

Because he knew that Shanrou was no different from other women; her hatred ran too deep, and she had received assassin training since childhood, making her far more resilient than the average person.

We have to take it slow, gradually breaking down her defenses step by step; we can't rush it.
