Chapter 119: Submissive Army (3)

Gu Yun was confused. Su Yu didn't wait for her to refute and replied in one breath, "I only said last time that I allowed you to walk freely within the General's Mansion, but I didn't allow you to leave the mansion at will. Your sister might not even be considered a concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Do you think the Prime Minister's Mansion is a place you can enter whenever you want? Furthermore, the Prime Minister's Mansion and our General's Mansion have never had any dealings. Since you entered the General's Mansion, you are a person of the General's Mansion. In the future, just stay in the General's Mansion honestly. As for your sister, their affairs are no longer your business."

Gu Yun's face darkened as she listened. Su Ren thought she was angry and explained in a low voice, "Although what Yu said is a bit reckless, it is also a fact. Although Lou Prime Minister is gentle and humble, he is also the Prime Minister of a country. The door of the Prime Minister's Mansion is not easy to enter. As for the palace, you have even less chance to enter." However, if you become the wife of the Zhenguo General, that would be another matter! Of course, he wouldn't say this sentence now.

Gu Yun nodded slowly, "I understand."

Actually, she wasn't angry because of Su Yu's words, but was making plans for her own situation. She had been in this different world for quite some time, but she had been staying in the General's Mansion, facing all straightforward men. She also liked and was accustomed to such an environment, but she didn't expect that she hadn't thought about it properly. This was no longer the place where she originally lived. There was a strict hierarchy here, and there was serious patriarchal thinking. She didn't want to stay here. She wanted to find Qing first, and then find a way to go back. She wanted to be Gu Yun, not Qing Mo!

Gu Yun lowered her head, looking thoughtful.

Su Yu was not used to such a silent Gu Yun, and couldn't bring himself to comfort her. He wanted his second brother to comfort her, but found that he was playing chess by himself again.

Su Yu couldn't stand it and shouted, "I just don't understand, what's so fun about playing chess by oneself?" And he was so fascinated! It's really strange.

Su Yu's ghost shouting also pulled Gu Yun's thoughts back. Since she had decided to find a way to go back, Gu Yun's mood gradually calmed down. She was just a passerby in this era, and there was no need to integrate. She was just herself, Gu Yun.

Supporting her chin with her hand, Gu Yun glanced sideways at Su Yu and teased with a smile, "Without an opponent, I have to play by myself. Some people are simple-minded and physically developed, so naturally they won't understand this kind of fun and peace." During her days here, having this living treasure to bicker with her, life was also more interesting.

Su Yu's face was embarrassed, and he retorted, "Who are you saying is simple-minded and physically developed? If you have the ability, you play with the second brother!" His chess skills were indeed not good, not just him, no one in the General's Mansion was the second brother's opponent! She was standing and talking without back pain!

Hearing his words, Su Ren's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked a bit excited, "This idea is good. I heard that among the three Qing sisters, Qing Ling's piano skills are famous all over the world, Qingfeng's calligraphy and painting are unparalleled in the world, and Qing Mo's chess skills have never met an opponent. Today, I would like to ask for advice." How could he forget this! This way, he would have someone to discuss chess with in the future.

Gu Yun stiffened. No way! Are the three Qing sisters so strong? The problem is that her Go is just a beginner, and playing chess with Su Ren, isn't that exposing her identity! Su Ren is quick-witted, so she still can't take the risk.

Thinking of countermeasures quickly, her eyes fixed on the chessboard, Gu Yun suddenly felt happy in her heart. Her Go was very bad, but she was really undefeated in another kind of chess.

Gently pinching a white piece, Gu Yun sneered with disdain, "This way of playing is outdated, I haven't played it for a long time. If you want to play, play something new. The game I often play, although the rules are simple and the time for one game is short, it is very interesting, and it is not easy to win."

A new way of playing? Su Ren was interested and asked, "How do you play?"

Putting the black and white pieces on the chessboard into the boxes, Gu Yun held a black piece in one hand and a white piece in the other, and explained the rules on the chessboard, "Play it on this chessboard. The pieces are placed on the intersections of the chessboard lines. Two people can play, or three people can play. But now there are only black and white pieces, so only two people can play. Both sides hold one color, take turns placing one piece, and whoever can connect five or more pieces of the same color in a row, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, wins." It turned out she only knew how to play Gomoku, sweat!

Su Ren looked like he was thinking seriously, while Su Yu said carelessly, "This is very simple, isn't it just five pieces connected together! Horizontal, vertical, diagonal, all can. This is easier than Go!"

Gu Yun raised her eyebrows and smiled half-heartedly, "Then let me play a game with you."

"Come on!" Su Yu sat opposite Gu Yun. Go has so many rules, he is not good at it, but this simple one, he is definitely not bad.

Su Yu had black pieces in front of him. Gu Yun smiled, "Let you go first, black pieces go first."

He goes first, then he goes first. Su Yu placed the first piece in the middle, Gu Yun quickly placed a piece to the right of the black piece, Su Yu placed another piece vertically, Gu Yun blocked one end with a white piece without thinking, Su Yu frowned, changed a direction, Gu Yun blocked again.

It seemed that wherever he placed, she blocked, so it would be impossible for anyone to win!

Just when Su Yu was slandering, Gu Yun placed a piece gracefully and smiled, "You lost."

"So fast? Impossible!" It had only been twenty pieces! Su Yu looked carefully, and sure enough, when he wasn't paying attention, Gu Yun had already completed five in a row.

Su Yu said unconvinced, "Another game." This time it was his carelessness, next time he would be careful and definitely wouldn't lose.

"Good."

Pushing the black pieces to Gu Yun, Su Yu said, "You go first this time."

"Good." Gu Yun smiled indifferently. Black pieces are the attacking side, she likes attacking more, black pieces are the best! Handing the white pieces over, Gu Yun picked up a black piece and placed it in the middle.

This time Su Yu was indeed much more cautious, approaching step by step, wanting to surround Gu Yun. Let's see how you win! Just when Su Yu was secretly proud, Gu Yun smiled leisurely again, "You lost again."

A piece fell, up and down connected, sure enough, it was five!

"This is really evil!" Su Yu couldn't believe his eyes. Why didn't he see this place just now?

Gu Yun slowly raised her head, looked at Su Ren who was standing aside, his eyes always fixed on the chessboard, and smiled, "Do you want to play?"

"Good." Su Ren sat down with a casual smile, but his eyes were full of hot and deep light. He was indeed deeper, planning before moving. After watching these two games, he must have had some insights into Gomoku. Gu Yun didn't dare to underestimate the enemy. The two played very slowly and cautiously in this game.

It was still Gu Yun who went first, Su Ren followed. After thirty pieces were placed, neither side could see who won or lost. When it was Su Ren's turn again, he held the white piece for a long time without placing it, and after a while, shook his head and sighed, "It seems I have already lost."

It is indeed a game that doesn't take long, but it is very difficult to win! Su Yu stared at the chessboard for a long time, but still didn't understand, pointing to a place where three black pieces were arranged, "No, she only has three black pieces here, you can still place one to block her." This way, even if she places another side, second brother can block it, how could he lose?

Su Ren replied calmly, "You didn't notice that there are three black pieces on the other side. I can block this side, but it's too late to block that side." Looking closely, sure enough, there were three black pieces on the other side, so it couldn't be blocked no matter what.

Gu Yun smiled. In order to win Su Ren, she carefully arranged a double-kill game.

Slowly putting the white piece in her hand back into the chess box, Su Ren asked with high interest, "It is indeed an interesting game. What is this game called?" Although the rules of the game are simple, it is not inferior to the exquisiteness of Go at all.

"Gomoku, just play it when you have nothing to do." Actually, it was just a pretense to cover up that she couldn't play Go. Gu Yun didn't want to talk to them anymore. At six o'clock tomorrow morning, she still had to train troops. Stretching her waist, Gu Yun stood up and said, "Then you guys study slowly, I won't accompany you, remember to deliver the things I want on time."

"Good." Su Ren nodded with a smile.

After Gu Yun left, Su Ren turned to look at Su Yu and asked, "How is your new recruit training going?"

Su Ren suddenly looked serious. Su Yu smiled incomprehensibly, "Very good, step by step. It's not the first time I've led new recruits, are you still worried about me!"

"This time the time is only fifteen days, and the content of the competition is also different from usual. You are competing in a night raid." She wanted things that were stranger each time, and she heard that Han Shu went to see her train troops last time, and he watched for a whole day, and came back to build the daggers she needed immediately. Han Shu is a fierce general under the eldest brother, and he has seen countless elite soldiers. He actually spent a whole day on her, which shows that her troop-training skills must have some subtlety.

Su Yu waved his hand and replied, "Don't worry, I will train them strictly. That woman has no chance of winning."

Su Yu was so careless and underestimated the enemy. Su Ren shook his head helplessly and sighed, "I hope so."

Today, in just half an hour, she surprised him many times. Such a woman is definitely not just showing off her tongue. Yu is so careless, victory or defeat is hard to determine.

Seventh day of training.

Still that lush forest. During the day, dense leaves blocked the scorching sun, and at night, the vigorous branches also treated the soft moonlight equally, blocking it all. Tonight, although the full moon was in the sky, the moonlight in the forest could only fall through the gaps, casting countless mottled shadows on the ground.

In the large forest, a large piece of black shadows rose and fell, looking a bit weird. Except for the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, it was the sound of rapid and rough breathing.

"One hundred and eighty, twenty more, persist!" The strict female voice suddenly sounded in the dark night forest, clear and cold.

In the night, Gu Yun opened her eyes wide, observing the group of soldiers she had led for seven days. Five hundred people doing push-ups together, the people behind were almost completely plunged into darkness. If she didn't have excellent night vision, she couldn't see their every move clearly. Everything depends on self-discipline and persistence. Fortunately, they didn't let her down.

The soldiers finished two hundred push-ups one after another. Gu Yun didn't give them time to rest and immediately shouted, "Line up."

The soldiers' movements were still fast, but they didn't have the ease of the day, and the sound of body collisions could be heard from time to time. It seemed that they were extremely unaccustomed to this way of night training.

After they all stood still, Gu Yun said loudly, "Today is the seventh day of training, and more than half of the time has passed. Starting from tonight, you have new training content, which is to learn how to complete all the training items of the day at night, and at the same time turn night combat into your advantage." Although it is not completely pitch black, you can't see things clearly at all. It is already very difficult to complete the training items of the day, let alone advantages. Everyone's heart is beating drums. In the dark night, many people can't see Gu Yun's expression, but they can guess that she must be full of frost at this moment.

"Before starting training, do a test first."

The soldiers were full of question marks. How to test in this dark night? Test what?
