A Mistaken Marriage Match: A Generation of Military Counselor

Chapter 2: The military training ground of the mighty army, Part 1

After Su Yu left in a huff, Gu Yun put aside the half-finished cucumber she was holding in her hand, got up and stretched her body. Just now she had to eat hurriedly. She really needed such nourishment as in this era there is no protein powder available yet. In order to provide sufficient calories to accelerate muscle growth, even if causing some trouble she had no other choice, because at all costs she must eat all these high-protein foods. However, looking at her scrawny body, Gu Yun's mood sank. When can she have her body build be like as before?

The old servant's head bowed in frustration. Gu Yun happened to see the look of reproach on his eyes. She shrugged and smiled. She didn't bully the master of the house. It was his fault being too presumptuous. While clearing up the dishes the old servant was shaking his head. Inwardly he sighed. This young girl is very shrewd and cunning. The third general definitely cannot match to her. Even if the great general could not know, he should not have capitulated by allowing her to stay.

The old servant was muttering to himself as he went out of the small courtyard. Gu Yun casually laid down on the meadow. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she deeply thought of something while in passing she was pulling chunks of weeds, her hands toying with the cut weeds.

Qing's whereabouts is unknown. Currently she does not have any clues whatsoever where she might be. She has no other way but to begin to investigate where the two sisters of this body are. General Manor is not a place where she can stay in the long-term. But if she escapes now, she'll be hunted down, and when that happens she would then be too busy fending for herself. How can she at the same time search for Qing. It's better for her to temporarily stay in the General Manor, find Qing, plan a good escape route, and leave before it's too late for her. Gu Yun's mind was contemplating the next plan, when suddenly came a burst of muffled thunder of drums. Gu Yun opened her eyes quickly, inclined her head and listened attentively.

The sound is coming from the mountain! This past half month, sounds of cries came from time to time directly behind the courtyard. They were either sounds of fighting or short drumbeats, but the sound of clear, loud thundering drumbeats like this right now she has not heard yet. Gu Yun being preoccupied during weekdays in strengthening her own physique was too lazy to check on other things. But the sound of rumbling drums today is too loud, full of force and fury, the people who hear it can actually feel their own blood boiling in excitement.

She has always been on the go, her mind's curiosity ignited, her body has already taken a step forward. Gu Yun stood up agilely, walked towards the direction where the sound of the drums came from.

What greeted her was a high courtyard wall which had a small wooden door with a latch. Gu Yun strode to the door and shoved it open to have a closer look. Suddenly the panorama before her became crystal clear. It left her feeling cold.

As far as her eyes could see, was a large, wide open space. The scorching sun overhead, this broad expanse was densely packed with about two or three thousand people standing orderly. There were two groups being pitted to fight against each other. Su Yu, the man who came and she met this noon stood on top of a commander's seat in the side, wearing a silver armor, brandishing a heavy broadsword, proudly standing. His appearance was quite a bit formidable.

When the battle drums stopped, Su Yu's low growl resounded, "Attack!" The battle immediately started. The two opposing parties fought head-on against each other. Gu Yun lightly leaned against the door and found the battle amusing. Pretty soon she scowled and chuckled low.

"Is it awfully funny?" Behind her a gentle male voice sounded.

Gu Yun was a bit startled. She was too concentrated on watching the battle that she had not noticed someone was approaching! She was feeling inwardly chagrined, but her face did not show a fraction of the change in her mood. She slowly turned around and saw a man standing behind her in black clothes. His appearance was extraordinarily handsome. Just by looking at his facial features, Gu Yun guessed this person in front of her should also be Su Ling's brother. But compared to Su Ling's cold and arrogant looks, Su Yu's overbearing temper, he looked refined, cool and bright. He exuded an impression of a relaxed and pleasant temperament. Although he had a scholarly appearance, with a polite smile on his face, Gu Yun saw when his eyes narrowed slightly and the corners of his mouth raised, his real mood at this time was not as friendly as the expression on his face.
