His clean and efficient method was like throwing a boulder into a calm lake, leaving Yu Yuehui stunned and frozen in place.
Her gaze was fixed on Gu Che, occasionally glancing at the pheasant in his hand, her eyes filled with undisguised envy and admiration.
In that instant, a strong impulse surged in Yu Yuehui's heart, and she almost blurted out that she wanted Gu Che to teach her, and she could pay him for it.
But reason quickly returned to her, and she realized that they were just strangers meeting for the first time, and it would be inappropriate to make such a request so abruptly. So she could only swallow her longing and keep it hidden in her heart.
Gu Che glanced at Yu Yuehui over there without saying anything. His move was also meant to intimidate, since this was someone else's territory, even though the girl in front of him seemed very easygoing.
But his inherent caution led him to make the move he just made, and it seems to have worked well.
After that, he ignored Yu Yuehui and started processing the pheasants on his own.
Seeing this, Yu Yuehui wisely kept quiet and took out all the pheasants and rabbits that had frozen stiff from the traps.
She quickly set up the traps, then threw all the prepared game into her basket, preparing to go look around elsewhere. It would be great if she could catch a few more.
Just as she was about to leave, she was drawn to Gu Che's group again.
Gu Che over there had already started preparing the roast chicken, his movements were very skillful, as if he had done it countless times, and he was even faster at starting the fire than she was.
These things are not bad, but they are not enough to attract Yu Yuehui. You must know that Yu Yuehui is a very ambitious person. Once she decides to leave, it will be difficult for her to stay.
But Gu Che only started a fire, leaving Yu Yue behind.
The reason was that the fire Gu Che lit produced no smoke, or rather, no thick smoke, only a wisp of faint smoke.
It hadn't risen very high before it vanished.
If Yuehui hadn't been so close, she wouldn't have been able to tell there was a fire burning, which was very appealing to someone like Yuehui who often went up the mountain to hunt.
But for Gu Che, this was just a perfectly normal thing.
Once, during a battle, in order to take a shortcut, they went directly into the mountains and forests. To avoid being exposed, they could only try not to light fires. Later, when they couldn't do it anymore, they began to study how to make a fire without smoke.
At first, it seemed like a pipe dream, but gradually some people in the team actually figured it out.
Just as they had begun to eat raw meat and drink blood, the research finally succeeded.
Everyone was incredibly excited at the time.
They won that battle by a narrow margin. Although they were victorious, countless brothers sacrificed their lives, and the person who invented a fire-starting method that produced no smoke was also left there forever.
From then on, every time Gu Che started a fire, it was a smokeless fire, as if that person had not died and was still by his side.
As time went by, fearing he might forget, he would start a fire every now and then. Whenever the flames leaped up, the boy whose face was always covered in grime from starting the fire would appear before him.
Gu Che will never forget the smile on the boy's face when he successfully started a smokeless fire for the first time.
His smile was pure and bright. He pulled Gu Che to the fire, pointed at the rising flames, and looked proud. In the cruel memories of war, he and the fire he had developed became the warmest ray of light.
In fact, Gu Che was reborn. In his previous life, he was a general, a famous female general of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and the guardian of the Great Zhou Kingdom. He protected the Great Zhou Kingdom until his death.
In her final battle, she terrified the most powerful enemy nation in the vicinity, and even after her death, they dared not invade the Great Zhou for many years.
They made great contributions to the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But even such a powerful war goddess couldn't control her own marriage. Just because she was a woman and the war goddess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she was forced to marry King Jing.
Prince Jing of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor's younger brother, was naturally born with a dragon-like and phoenix-like appearance, and had a very good reputation and was known for his virtue.
So when Gu Che was betrothed to Prince Jing, everyone thought it was a match made in heaven and a good match for Gu Che.
The God of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty has found a good home—how ironic!
At this moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten that she was a war goddess, and it seemed that she was just an ordinary woman.
Therefore, being able to curry favor with Prince Jing was naturally a cause for celebration.
Gu Che was confused at the time.
Her ideal was to guard the frontier, never to get married.
She would be willing to do even the most ordinary job of guarding the city.
Getting married was something she had never thought about.
So when she was betrothed, she was confused and helpless.
But everyone said it was a good match, even her parents thought so.
With tears in their eyes, they said, "Now that they're married, they can finally rest easy."
Looking at her mother's graying hair, she got married.
Only after marrying him did she realize what a degenerate Prince Jing was.
Beneath its outward appearance lies a rotten and foul heart.
He had countless concubines in his household.
He particularly enjoys watching women fight and be jealous of him, and the more ruthless their methods, the more he likes it.
Poor women in the backyard.
Despite being such a scoundrel, he has an excellent reputation, and countless people envy Gu Che, the Princess Consort of Jing.
It's just because the Prince Jing's mansion only has one princess consort, and no concubines at all.
But what was the truth? King Jing had countless concubines.
To him, women were like clothes; whether they were concubines or secondary wives, it didn't matter.
All he cared about was profit. He didn't have any concubines; he only did so to increase the value of his queen. Sure enough, he married the God of War of the Great Zhou as he wished.
Even though he disliked this vulgar princess very much, he still had to pretend to be very affectionate in public, making everyone believe that he was deeply in love with Gu Che.
Those outside who were still somewhat reluctant about Gu Che marrying Prince Jing changed their minds because of this.
I think Gu Che's marriage to Prince Jing was worthwhile, after all, Prince Jing doted on her.
Of course, these messages were all disseminated by the royal family themselves.
Gu Che's wedding was a complete conspiracy, and of course, the Gu family was also a beneficiary!
The only one who truly sacrificed himself was Gu Che.
As a war goddess, she enjoyed great prestige among the people, which displeased the emperor. However, he was reluctant to execute her, so he devised a plan: as long as Gu Che became a member of the royal family, her prestige would be equivalent to that of the royal family.
At first, the emperor wanted to bring Gu Che into the palace, but Gu Che was, after all, the God of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and his reputation was there. It was impossible to just give him a concubine position.
But the empress is the prime minister's daughter, and her position cannot be changed.
After careful consideration, the marriage was arranged for Prince Jing, who was also very willing.
Even though Gu Che was big and burly and didn't look like a woman, he didn't mind. After all, he had plenty of beauties and didn't care about the princess's appearance.
