Chapter 541: Sudden Mission
In the evening, when Gu Yuehuai was about to go back to the dormitory to cook, he met Li Dongdong who was waiting outside.
As soon as he saw Gu Yuehuai, he silently raised a thumbs up and said, "Great, Doctor Gu, you've become famous on the first day. Your prowess has spread throughout the Eighth Military Region. I guess there will be many more comrades who will come to you for medical treatment in the future!"
Gu Yuehuai looked at him speechlessly and asked, "Chief Xu wants to see me?"
"Yes, it was because of your meritorious service today that Colonel Hu Weibin came to your house in person to ask for credit for you."
"Hey! Look, I've been in the army for several years, but I haven't made any contributions. You've only been here for a short time, but you always make great contributions. Just wait and see, your position will be promoted this time. Alas, when can I wait for that?" Li Dongdong said with some distressed tone.
He really lamented his own incompetence. He was so old, had no wife, no military merits, and no military rank. What should he do?
Gu Yuehuai smiled and shook his head, then glanced at the time: "It's almost time, Shaoyu should eat too, right?"
Li Dongdong felt a little jealous and envious: "It's great to have a wife like you who always cares about me. Don't worry, he won't starve. Knowing that his arm is injured, the leader has arranged for someone to go and call him."
Gu Yuehuai nodded, said nothing more, and went to Xu Chuangu's residence with Li Dongdong.
As soon as she entered the door, she could smell the aroma of rice. If she took a closer sniff, she could smell the smell of braised pork ribs. Yan Shaoyu had already arrived and came forward to take her bag. Li Dongdong said sourly, "Why haven't I seen you be so considerate before?"
Yan Shaoyu ignored this and pulled Gu Yuehuai into the dining room.
Xu Chuangu was only wearing an old man's vest, his face was rosy, and it was obvious that he was in a very good mood. Seeing Gu Yuehuai coming over, he smiled and teased: "Hey, look, our hero is back. Are you hungry? Come on, sit down."
Gu Yuehuai smiled and said, "Uncle Xu, please don't joke with me. What meritorious officials or not, we all serve the people."
Xu Chuangu was amused and raised his hand to nod at her: "Don't be so polite to me. If you say so, I won't consider Hu Weibin's offer to promote you."
Gu Yuehuai blinked and nodded calmly: "Alright, husband and wife are one, you can give my credit to Shaoyu."
Hearing this, everyone in the room burst into laughter.
Li Dongdong reached out and clasped Yan Shaoyu's shoulders, looking sad: "Brother, how come you are so lucky?"
He thought Yan Shaoyu would not answer him, but as soon as he finished speaking, Yan Shaoyu said seriously, "I think so too."
Li Dongdong's mouth twitched and he rolled his eyes to the sky.
Xu Chuangu and Uncle Ping on the side smiled at each other. The younger generation chatted and laughed with each other, which made them feel younger. It was as if they had returned to the time when they were engaged in revolution and guerrilla warfare. The same was true for the young comrades.
Thinking of this, Xu Chuangu's expression showed a hint of bitterness again, but it disappeared in a flash.
He called Uncle Ping and Li Dongdong and said, "Sit down, sit down. We won't be too particular today."
"Okay! I've been waiting for you to say that, Chief!" Li Dongdong was not polite. As soon as Xu Chuangu finished speaking, he sat down next to Yan Shaoyu and pulled Uncle Ping with him: "Uncle Ping, today is a good day, shouldn't we celebrate?"
As they ate, they talked and discussed how Gu Yuehuai had turned the tide and saved several poisoned soldiers today.
Li Dongdong's mouth was full of oil and he squinted his eyes happily.
After listening to Xu Chuangu talking about the construction of the naval training, he nodded and said, "It is Doctor Gu who has the best ideas. I think that Doctor Gu should be the one to be assigned as the military medical specialist for the naval training. She is familiar with these things. With her around, what do we need to worry about?"
"Besides, isn't Shaoyu going to participate in naval training during this period? Now that Doctor Gu is gone, won't the young couple be able to see each other during the day? I think this is a good idea." After saying that, he looked up and gave Yan Shaoyu an ambiguous look.
Gu Yuehuai thought about it and agreed, "That's right, this is a good idea. How about Uncle Xu take care of the arrangements?"
She had a smile on her face, and when she spoke to Xu Chuangu, she acted more like a close junior than Yan Shaoyu.
Yan Shaoyu glanced at her. As a naval training military medical specialist, the responsibility she has to shoulder is not small.
Xu Chuangu pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll think about this carefully."
The naval training came to an end, and the next thing was to chat about daily life. Perhaps they could see that he had something to say, Li Dongdong and Uncle Ping cleaned up the leftovers on the table and turned away, leaving the three of them a quiet space.
Yan Shaoyu looked at Xu Chuangu, who had a serious expression and no longer looked happy, and asked in confusion, "Uncle Xu?"
Xu Chuangu glanced at Gu Yuehuai, then looked at Yan Shaoyu: "Shaoyu, there is a mission that requires you to go to the capital. The sea training can only be put on hold for the time being. I have to tell you that this mission is dangerous. You should discuss it with Xiao Gu."
He is the leader, he issues tasks and the soldiers must accomplish them.
However, to him, Yan Shaoyu was not just a soldier under his command, but also a child he had watched grow up. If the incident had not happened suddenly and was not related to Shi Jinsong, he would not have thought of letting him participate in the mission.
Almost at the moment when Xu Chuangu finished speaking, Gu Yuehuai's expression became serious: "I'll go too!"
She knew very well that for Yan Shaoyu now, any mission was a step to promotion. The more dangerous the mission, the less likely he would give up. Instead of waiting for her to persuade him, it would be better for them to go together. At least with her there, there was no need to worry about her safety.
"no."
"no."
Xu Chuangu and Yan Shaoyu denied it in unison, and Gu Yuehuai's lips slightly pursed.
Xu Chuangu saw her resistance and said solemnly: "Xiao Gu, this mission is not that simple. It is related to the serious illness of the Qin authorities. You have not received special training. Once you are targeted, it will be very troublesome."
Having said that, we have already crossed the line.
There were numerous factions in the capital, but the two most prominent ones were the Qin and Jiang factions. The two factions were in competition with each other and were on the verge of a power struggle.
Gu Yuehuai lowered his eyelids slightly: "Uncle Xu, I must go. Wherever Shaoyu is, I will be there."
Xu Chuangu frowned and looked at Yan Shaoyu, wanting him to persuade Gu Yuehuai.
However, before he could speak, Gu Yuehuai raised his eyes and said calmly, "Uncle Xu thinks that there is something strange about the Qin faction's serious illness, maybe it has something to do with the sorcerer behind the Jiang faction in Beijing, right?"
Xu Chuangu's eyes deepened slightly, and he immediately gave Yan Shaoyu a meaningful look.
He didn't expect that he would tell Gu Yuehuai even such secret things as the sorcerer. This kind of people practiced evil magic and were very treacherous. They were not allowed to appear in public, as it would affect the stability of society.
Gu Yuehuai pursed her red lips and said, "Uncle Xu, I have a way to deal with the sorcerer."
