A Mistaken Marriage Match: A Generation of Military Counselor Chapter 1.3

Hi fellow readers! Here’s a continuation of chapter 1. Not much happens in this part. Gu Yun found out some information on the ident.i.ty of her body-host. Plus she got banished to some secluded spot in the General Manor. But, our heroine is pulling herself up by her own bootstraps and starts hatching plans!

Chapter One: The soul travelled to a different era, Part 3 of 4

As Gu Yun walked to the doorway her steps lagged at the moment.

There’s someone out there! She retreated two steps behind, the door was shoved open with a clang, two tall soldiers dressed in ancient outfits walked in.

Gu Yun frowned, is it this body the root cause? Her mental alertness and physical strength obviously are not as good as before, but to hear the changes only at this proximity. She was inwardly chagrined, the two soldiers saw now in front of them a woman, speechless they gawked at her, this woman is quite small, quite lovely ah, with the flimsy red dress on her she seemed innocent and a bit charming. However, her face somehow has two scars, they cannot help but feel a little pity towards her.

Gu Yun silently observed them, she wasn’t particularly anxious to talk.

The two soldiers who were the object of Gu Yun’s quiet and cold a.s.sessment regained their composure, lightly coughed awkwardly, the somewhat younger fellow stepped forward and exclaimed: “You, come out.”

Gu Yun stood still, coldly asked: “To go where?”

The young soldier did not expect she would ask, impatiently answered back: “This is the general’s room, it’s not the place where you should be.”

Yesterday the man said, here is the General Manor, here is his room, he is naturally the general, and she, without any ceremony on a red bridal dress dumped on his bed, the ident.i.ty of the owner of this body is most likely his concubine.

In order to confirm the ident.i.ty of the body, Gu Yun deliberately replied: “I’m his wife, why can’t I stay in his room?”

“Wife?!” Sure enough, the young soldier immediately laughed out loud: “You are really overestimating yourself, you at best can only be regarded as a gift.”

Gift? Gu Yun kept her doubts in her heart, continued to shock him and said: “I’m not a gift, I’m the general’s wife!”

“That’s a big joke, you relying on the match! Your Hao Yue country gave the three siblings of the Qing family to our Qiong Yue emperor, the emperor sent you to the general, perhaps if the general is not happy, he can also give you to anyone. If not a gift then what makes that of you!”

d.a.m.n it! Gu Yun could not help but clenched her fist, emperor, general, a bunch of unknown country names, as well as this person’s body which sickens her, all in all, she needed not do further a.n.a.lysis it’s now clear to her, she travelled to an unknown s.p.a.ce and time, and here is a period of absolute monarchy, the ident.i.ty of this body currently hosting her, she’s a gift, a tribute of a small va.s.sal nation to an imperial kingdom.

So what about Qing? Where is she? Can it be the same with her, has she also entered another person’s body?

Seeing the self-indulgent look of the young soldier, Gu Yun proceeded to ask: “My sisters were they sent to the palace?”

“They …” He just started to open his mouth when the older soldier cut in and said: “Don’t engage in idle talk with her.”

“You’re told to leave, you leave right away, you shouldn’t ask, don’t ask.” This woman has an innocent, harmless, delicate and cute appearance, but her eyes are unusually sharp, it’s wise to be careful with such a person.

Gu Yun slightly squinted her eyes, this person’s vigilance is not weak, this so-called servant meets and knows the master, she must not belittle this General Manor, especially her body now resembles bean sprouts. Gu Yun kept silent as they strode and went out of the door, all the way she secretly observed the environment, on her guard, playing it all by ear.

The courtyard is large, in the perimeter stood pine trees, and the air was filled with the faint smell of pine wood, as she walked out of the courtyard, Gu Yun looked back and saw on the front gate, powerful and bold calligraphy of “Lingyun Pavilion”.

Three big, dark green ink characters on the courtyard’s gate.

“Hurry up.” The young man called out impatiently. Gu Yun turned her head again in front, continued to quietly follow them going forward.

Walking through the labyrinth of the General Manor…

Walking down the winding corridor about seven or eight turns, they took Gu Yun towards the direction of the north circ.u.mventing around, Gu Yun secretly noted the route they took, she soon discovered that the construction of the General Manor is intricate, they haven’t really walked a long distance, within the layout there are three identical spots, with this design it’s easy to surmise that one can lose his way, thus if one absent-mindedly walks it can lead to finding oneself in a real labyrinth.

And here the security is tight, all the way she has seen two teams of patrolling soldiers, their march steady and firm, they’re well-trained, when they saw her at first their faces showed a surprised look, but soon after they behaved as usual, no longer looking at her.

The further she walked the more apprehensive Gu Yun felt, the place is heavily guarded, the terrain is complicated, unlike what she thought before, she may not be able to escape, she has to sc.r.a.p that plan for now, no need to even speak of it ah.

“From today onwards, you live here, unless the general says, you cannot take one step out of the courtyard.” Gu Yun was pondering all the while until she heard the cold voice of the young man, she looked up.

Banished to live alone in this humble wooden hut…

In front of her is a small courtyard, also in it is a small wooden house, the courtyard gate didn’t have a lintel, though simple and plain, it’s very quiet and peaceful, Gu Yun fairly liked it. Listening to what they were implying, the general who is not satisfied with her banished her to the periphery of this corner to fend for herself. Gu Yun is secretly pleased, that’s good, she has time to properly exercise her body and research an escape route.

The two men turned around to leave, Gu Yun promptly cried out: “Stop! The General Manor is not that poor as to lack even clothes ah? With the meals whether or not it allows one to eat to one’s fill ah?” The young man scoffed at her, condescendingly replied: “You don’t have to worry about that, the General Manor can also keep one woman alive.”

Gu Yun’s sharp eyes gleamed, very good! This is what she really wanted to hear.

She trained herself before to become a martial arts champion, within the police force to be the best, she too can in the same way train this body of Lolita to turn into a Laura! [Lolita, a young, cute girl into Laura, a ripe or mature woman]

Inside the study, a big nine-seat square table stood in the middle of the room, a blueprint was on the table, this detailed and confidential drawing is densely filled with dots and lines, two men stood tall before it, their eyes were staring intently at the blueprint.

Picking up a pen next to it Su Ren leaned, a bit to the right side he drew a circle on the blueprint, lowering his voice, sighing he said: “After yesterday’s field attack drill, you could see, your deployment of troops, during the drill the right flank was too weak, if the right flank is breached then this formation is defeated.”

The Su family army is famous among the six nations, it has been able to make its enemy lose heart, even if eldest brother doesn’t personally lead the troops, it is still always able to win, the main reason for being undefeated is that the Su family army soldiers are all physically robust, brave and fierce, their strategies are unpredictable, making the enemy unable to figure out their formations.

These all can be credited to eldest brother, he not only demanded that all the Su family army battalion commanding generals must study the book on military strategies, but also to create their own strategies, all their own tactical deployment or training, battle drills are then held once every six months. Each general must come up with his own tactical deployment to contest with the others, the best battle formation is then selected to be implemented in the army. This is also why in the mountain behind the General Manor a training ground was created as venue of these military drills, they acting as trainers of the Su family army, naturally cannot neglect to practise, this year eldest brother intends to battle against third brother, but looking at his plan using this tactical formation, he felt prevailing over him would not be easy.

Su Yu frowned, his handsome, clear face full of restlessness, replied: “Ah, I too realized it, last night I thought of it the whole time, already thought of a solution to counter it, and so I will train the soldiers well, after half a month we will drill again!”

In a single night he was able to come up with a solution? Su Ren begged to differ, the third brother’s shortcoming is his impatient att.i.tude, he doesn’t know when he’ll drop this bad habit, but Su Ren didn’t intend to chide him, to let him have a few tumbles, edges and corners and bad habits will naturally be fewer.

“Reporting!” A loud male voice echoed at the door.

Su Yu coldly asked: “What’s the matter?”

“Reporting to the Lieutenant General, the woman has moved already to the rear court, but …” The young man’s voice at first was loud and clear but as he continued talking his voice gradually became weak and hesitant.

Su Yu growled impatiently: “You have something to say.”

The young man immediately straightened up, with a clear and resonant voice said: “She said to tell you of her request for food.”

“What?” The young man could not finish talking, Su Yu, initially not in good mood this time he was even more riled, roared back, “now she also wants to eat exotic delicacies ah!” So the woman is troublesome, big brother walked away, they let him deal with the aftermath!

The young man secretly shrunk his shoulder, quickly replied: “No, she only asked to eat beef, eggs and the likes, she wants to eat a lot.” Really a lot, for a woman’s appet.i.te, it was pretty enormous and scary.

Su Yu’s face suddenly became gloomy, across it a black cloud settled. The General Manor feeds all three thousand soldiers, still could a woman’s eating be able to make it collapse! Su Yu glared at him, both of his eyes seemed to shoot flames, “as much as she wants to eat, let her eat! This kind of trivial matter do not come to report. Leave!”

“Yes.” The young man dared not to hesitate, immediately ran off and left the study, he has heard before that Lieutenant General Su’s temperament is not good, one cannot really believe everything about rumors, not only is it not good, but, worse than that, it is simply tyrannical!
