Chapter 370 Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang
Having finalized their future plans, the three of them, including Wu Li, were in high spirits.
Hu Yiba then casually mentioned the rumors he had recently heard.
“Xiaoling, it’s not that your father feels old, but that you young people are all capable people emerging in every generation. Recently, there’s a young man named Yang Ying who is truly remarkable!”
It's not easy for one's own father to praise someone like that; it seems this person is indeed extraordinary. Guan Liushui asked with interest.
"What's so special about Yang Ying that she deserves your attention?"
"He can be said to be invincible! He's a chivalrous hero, always ready to help those in need. He's a true hero!"
After saying that, Hu Yiba even gave a thumbs up!
"Young Master! I heard that this Yang Ying has been fighting every day in Liyang City lately. He's beaten up cheaters in gambling dens, bullies in brothels, drunkards causing trouble in restaurants, and street thugs stealing chickens and dogs... He's beaten them all up!"
Wu Li followed Guan Liushui's explanation with great anticipation.
"Yang Ying? Yang Ying..."
I feel like the name Guan Liushui sounds familiar, but I can't remember who I've heard it mentioned before.
"How did this Yang Ying come about? There was no such person in Liyang City before."
"It is said that he came from Yancheng to Liyang to visit old friends and take a vacation. He has been here for almost a month, and now his legend is everywhere in Liyang. Many young women have decided that he is their first choice for a good match!"
Touching his face, Wu Li was filled with longing. He was still unmarried, and he envied Yang Ying so much. He also wanted to be chased by girls who threw sachets and flowers at him!
It's a pity that he wasn't strong enough and didn't have the same skills as Yang Ying!
"What are you swooning over, kid? Go back to your patrol! Do your job properly, and I'll arrange your marriage later!"
Hu Yiba punched Wu Li on the shoulder, urging him to hurry up and get to work!
"Alright! You and the young master can chat at your leisure. I'll go and get back to work!"
Wu Li ran away happily.
Guan Liushui suddenly remembered where he had heard Yang Ying's name before, and immediately stood up with a wary expression.
"Yang Ying? My sister told me that Yang Ying is the alias of Rongdi King Ying Yang! What exactly is he trying to do by causing such a commotion in Liyang City?"
Hu Yiba was clearly unable to answer Guan Liushui's question.
But Ying Yang understood very well that his every move had a very direct purpose.
That means first changing the opinions of the common people and noble ladies of Liyang City about him; that's the first step!
Once he becomes famous, we'll find a suitable opportunity to merge Yang Ying and Ying Yang into one. That's the second step!
Since learning about his bad reputation from General Qin's wife that day, this was the quickest way Yingyang could think of to resolve his marriage.
He understood the principle that public opinion can melt metal and accumulated slander can destroy a person, but he could turn it around and use it to his advantage!
When Yang Ying's reputation spread throughout Liyang City, he did not believe that noble ladies could resist the urge to flock to him and dream of becoming his wife!
In the palace, Xiao Aiyue had been so worried for days that she developed a large blister on her lip that she couldn't even touch it.
Since she spread the news of the marriage alliance with the Rongdi tribe, she never expected it to backfire. The marriage trend in Liyang City became more and more popular, but not a single marriage was related to the Rongdi alliance.
Is there anything Xiao Aiyue doesn't understand?
She messed up the marriage alliance; how is she going to explain it to His Majesty?
She promised to handle the wedding arrangements, but now her son and daughter-in-law are laughing at her. Where does she put her face?!
Fortunately, a few days later, Xiao Aiyue met the transformed Rongdi King in the Imperial Study and heard about Rongdi King Yingyang's next plan.
This coincided perfectly with Xiao Aiyue's intentions. Ying Yang was in the open, while Xiao Aiyue was in the shadows. She helped Ying Yang push things along, which is how she quickly established the image of Yang Ying as a chivalrous, righteous, and handsome hero.
Through his own efforts, Ying Yang is determined to change his image and win the favor of the noble ladies of Liyang City, with Xiao Aiyue offering various advice behind him.
What else can Zhao Xuan and Gu Zhanghua say?
As long as he doesn't harm her younger sister Qin Chuyun, Zhao Xuan doesn't want to stoop to Ying Yang's level and lets him do whatever he wants.
?
That day, Gu Zhanghua, worried about his third brother Gu Jingfeng who was still under house arrest, went to the Zhenwang Mansion with Zhao Xuan to visit Gu Jingfeng.
As soon as the two entered the mansion, they learned that their second brother and sister-in-law had also just arrived. The two brothers had arrived at the Prince Zhen's mansion one after the other without prior arrangement.
When Gu Jingfeng saw Gu Zhanghua and Zhao Xuan enter the living room, he held the cat Qiqi, who was purring soundly, and glanced at Gu Jiancheng with a sheepish look on his face.
"Did you two brothers plan this together? You even brought your wives to come and laugh at me?"
Gu Jiancheng sat in his chair, hands tucked in his pockets, and spoke calmly.
"Third brother, what are you saying? We came because we care about you! Don't worry, I have already asked Father for permission to lift your confinement."
Gu Jingfeng shrugged, dismissing the matter with disdain, but his heart was filled with complaints.
"What good would it do to be exempt? One of you fought in the north in place of your father, and the other made great contributions in the south. I'm the only one who's useless!"
Gu Jiancheng was too lazy to indulge Gu Jingfeng, and spoke without any politeness.
"You're quite self-aware, knowing you're useless! Studying medicine was your own choice, so who can you blame for giving up halfway?"
Zhao Xuan, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, kept stirring up trouble.
"When you went to the Northern Army this time, Little Fairy Doctor took in four disciples. If you want to recognize her as your master now, she probably won't even bother with you!"
Gu Zhanghua was genuinely worried about his brother's future.
"Third Brother, I'm very curious, what exactly do you want to do? You've tried quite a few hobbies over the years, but you haven't been able to stick with any of them. In the last two years, I've noticed that you've even lost interest in collecting beautiful women..."
Qi Qi yawned in Gu Jingfeng's arms and tried to turn over to find a more comfortable position, but Qi Qi was so fat that Gu Jingfeng's arm went numb after holding her for a while.
With a tremor of his hand, Qiqi was thrown to the ground.
"Meow?! Meow! Meow meow!! Meow meow meow!!!"
Qi Qi was dazed and confused after the fall. With her big, bewildered eyes wide open, she instantly understood her predicament and began to complain to Gu Jingfeng!
Everyone burst into laughter.
Gu Zhanghua quickly bent down and hugged Qiqi in his arms, helping it to nestle its four paws in his embrace.
"Alright, stop yelling. Your third brother's already annoyed! Don't blame him!"
Gu Jingfeng shifted to a more comfortable position on the chair, crossed his legs, and shook them back and forth, just like his restless soul.
"Ugh! Is it because you two are so good at everything I want to do that I've lost interest? I'm not as good as you two at anything, so what interest could I possibly have?"
"hehe!"
Gu Jiancheng couldn't help but give Gu Jingfeng a thumbs up. How could he, who had accomplished nothing, still shift the blame onto his brother?
It's just that his two brothers were too outstanding, which made him look too mediocre.
It was rare to see her usually unperturbed husband being so angry at her third brother that he sneered. Ma Zhenzhen smiled and suddenly spoke.
"Third brother, if that's the case, then there's something your second and fifth brothers can't do. Do you want to give it a try?"
Gu Jingfeng immediately became interested, craning his neck to look at Ma Zhenzhen, appearing eager to learn.
"Second sister-in-law, just say what you want to say. Is there anything that those two brothers can't do that I can?"
Gu Jiancheng is both literate and skilled in martial arts, and Gu Zhanghua is not only intelligent but also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. What could be so difficult that neither of these brothers could accomplish, but rather that Gu Jingfeng, the number one playboy of the Great Xia Kingdom, is good at?
The two brothers and Zhao Xuan all looked at Ma Zhenzhen, hoping she could give a reasonable explanation.
Three cobblers with their wits combined are better than one Zhuge Liang. Perhaps if everyone discusses it together, they can really plan a good future for Gu Jingfeng!
