Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 209

The weather was cloudy again, and the light rain fell all day long.

The guards became more irritable. In the past, when they were in the palace, they only needed to patrol a certain palace gate or near a certain palace. When they arrived at the Wen’ Mansion, they only patrolled near it.

But everyone’s workload had greatly increased when patrolling from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

And that without mentioning that the living conditions were getting more rudimentary. Dozens of people lived in a room, and it was not convenient to go to the Emperor’s pantry. The mood of everyone could be imagined.

“Damn rebels.” Guard Rong brushed the raindrops on his body irritably and said, “I…”

Seeing that he was about to speak ruthlessly again, his colleague quickly stopped him, “Brother Rong, you haven’t found out yet? Last time, the assassin didn’t run away after being forced out of the Sacred Upper House, but instead came to us.”

Guard Rong quickly stopped talking and said suspiciously, “No way! This is just what our brothers said in private.”

“Who knows? One more thing is worse than one less thing, Brother Rong, speak carefully!”

Those people had never been on the battlefield, and their knowledge of the rebels was limited to court rumors.

The other group even had an evil general who tore up living people and there were also heard the sound from a thousand miles away.

Anyway, it was heart-wrenching.

Guard Rong said no more, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a tall figure carrying a bucket and limping down the mountain.

“Stop!” The angry Guard Rong shouted in a deep voice.

However, the other party didn’t stop at all, and some of his peers sneered and said, “Did the assassin turn you into a fool? Did you forget that the trash is a deaf and mute person?”

Guard Rong’s face turned red. He stepped forward quickly, and kicked the bucket.

Only then did the young man stop, and when he turned his head to see them, he immediately cupped his hands, and bowed his hands in salute.

“What are you doing here?” Guard Rong asked, pointing to his bucket.

It took a long time for the young man to react, and he made a gesture of fetching water with a bucket.

There was no well on the mountain, and the water for eating needed to be transported from a clear spring halfway up the mountain.

Naturally, someone was responsible for the Emperor’s food. That kind of work of fetching water for the large army was thankless, and ordinary palace servants were unwilling to do it, so it naturally fell on that young man.

Guard Rong simply had nowhere to vent his anger, so he specifically stopped him. He was about to find a reason to teach the young man a lesson when a dark shadow flashed across the corner of his eye.

“Who is it?!” He drew his sword instantly, and the other guards followed suit.

However, the rain was still falling, the sky and the earth were foggy, and the group of people’s vision was blocked. They looked around with difficulty, but found nothing.

“Brother Rong, are you really scared?”

“That’s right, there are too many birds and wild animals on the mountain. Brother Rong, don’t be afraid of big monsters.”

Guard Rong was ridiculed for a while, and he lost face even more. He raised his foot and kicked the young man on the lower back, “Leave!”

The young man didn’t dare to get angry, he even picked up the bucket on the ground and hung it on the other end of the pole, and stepped up and down on the muddy mountain road.

When he walked to the spring, the cowardly and flattering look on the young man’s face faded. He grabbed a child from a very inconspicuous bush behind him.

Gu Ye was like a kitten being lifted off the back of his neck 

He twisted his body trying to break free, but the skills that Officer Caotou taught him were of no use in the hands of the young man.

It was only then that he regretted it. He heard from the guards that the young man was deaf and mute, so he dared to follow him closer, but he didn’t expect that the other party would find out all of a sudden.

The person who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger in the book was the most difficult to deal with. Gu Ye didn’t dare to say anything, because he was afraid that the other party would know that he had seen through his disguise and kill him.

The young man was amused as he watched the little boy struggling like a monkey in his own hands.

He could tell that the child had studied martial arts and had a good talent. He already had such skills at his age.

It was just that his martial arts were cultivated to kill the enemy in battle, and he could defeat ten times with one force. The Kung Fu of a child was naturally nothing in his eyes.

“You are Gu Ye,” the young man said affirmatively.

Gu Ye was shocked, but soon he tilted his head and pretended to be innocent, “Uncle, how do you know my name?”
