The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 196 Conception
Wu Chengyu wasn't actually too angry that his identity was questioned for no reason.

As the leader of the rebel army, Yan Chunyu had thousands of lives on her side. In front of her was the head of the Jin Dynasty's secret agents lurking in Black Tiger Village, and behind her was Ma Lin, who had been laying the groundwork since Hebei. One after another, spies tried to infiltrate the rebel army, so it was only right that she be cautious.

If Wu Chengyu really was a spy, for those bigwigs in the Jin Kingdom, as long as they could wipe out all the rebel armies, it would be entirely possible to sacrifice even a hundred-man cavalry unit in exchange for Yan Chunyu's trust.

Therefore, if Yan Chunyu were to immediately and completely trust Wu Chengyu simply because Wu Chengyu killed the Jin cavalry, then she would not be worthy of being the leader of the Shaanxi rebel army.

But Wu Chengyu didn't know how to prove his identity. This wasn't the future; he could just make a phone call to Lu Zhiyi and everything would be clear.

Besides, he only said that he knew He Zhiyu and that he was a descendant of Yue Fei's army, but he couldn't provide any concrete evidence, so it was difficult to completely dispel Yan Chunyu's suspicions.

Wu Chengyu didn't want Yan Chunyu to know that he was the so-called benevolent elder brother who killed Shi Miyuan, and this matter was even more impossible to prove.

Moreover, once the other side actually accepts him, these rebels will inevitably support him as some kind of leader, and he doesn't want to put such a burden on himself now.

But Wu Chengyu was puzzled as to why Yan Chunyu was able to ascertain his identity as soon as they arrived at Dasanguan.

However, he quickly put the matter out of his mind. His original plan was to enter the Jin Kingdom through Dasanguan Pass. He had done his duty to these righteous armies over the past few days and had a clear conscience. After that, it didn't matter whether Yan Chunyu could prove his identity or not.

At worst, they could just leave and go their separate ways. In the end, meeting the rebel army was an accident, and he didn't need them to accept him anyway.

At this moment, Wu Chengyu lost interest in teasing Yan Chunyu. The group sat around the campfire, exchanging silent glances as the night deepened.

The caravan set off again the next morning, with Yan Chunyu once again leading the way, while Old Man Liang remained in the same carriage as Wu Chengyu.

"Old man Liang, do you really not trust me that much? Why do you have to stand by and watch me?"

"No, that's not it. This is my original seat. Besides, the boss has her reasons. To me, those who kill Jin Gou together are brothers."

"It's just that your background is really hard to explain, so we can only leave it at that for now. But this old man doesn't dislike you."

"So what exactly is your leader's way of proving my identity? And what good will it do once we get to Dasanguan?"

"How would I know? This is the boss's business. If she says so, she must have her reasons."

"There's really no way around it, women think too much, it's so distressing. So, is your leader married?"

Wu Chengyu suddenly changed the subject, leaving Old Man Liang speechless for a moment. After a while, he looked Wu Chengyu up and down with a strange expression.

"You're out of luck, kid. The boss prefers strong, powerful men who can lift heavy weights. She hates pretty boys like you the most."

"She couldn't have been fooled by some pretty boy, could she? Besides, even though I'm fair-skinned, I'm still a decent guy."

"Lifting a tripod is no problem for me, but as for being imposing and majestic, would you like me to harness a horse for you right here and now?"

"What nonsense! Being able to lasso a horse is considered majestic and powerful? I knew you were always talking nonsense. How could the chief possibly look favorably upon someone so frivolous?"

"To be honest, the chief already has someone he likes and has vowed to marry no one but him." Wu Chengyu raised an eyebrow. If that's the case, it's a bit troublesome. He can't really say he likes Yan Chunyu that much. He's long past the age where he'd be attracted to any beautiful woman he sees. For him, it's not just being attracted, it's being attracted by her beauty.

This woman was dressed in red, looking dashing and beautiful. She had a great figure, was decisive, and intelligent.

It was a spirited, fiery red horse, which immediately aroused Wu Chengyu's desire to conquer it.

Perhaps it's because snakes are inherently lustful; ever since his transformation, he's always had this urge to do something to any woman he sees who suits his taste.

Fortunately, he doesn't have many women he's interested in, and he has good self-control. He can't just pounce on every woman he sees. Being a scumbag isn't a big deal, but if he were to become a womanizer, Wu Chengyu really couldn't do it.

Since leaving Xiangyang, Yan Chunyu is the first person who has truly caught his eye. From the moment he saw Yan Chunyu riding a spirited horse, appearing like a red cloud descending to earth, and calling out the name "Red Maiden," he was moved.

Wu Chengyu didn't know whether A Ku would be with him in the future. For now, he still felt like a brother to A Ku. But the problem was that A Ku would definitely come back to him in the future and was determined to marry no one but him. Wu Chengyu knew how stubborn this girl was.

Wu Chengyu also felt that he didn't want Aku to leave him. Aku was simple-minded, and what if she suffered some grievance with some lousy man in the future? So if Aku was still willing in the future, he would just marry her without any hesitation.

The problem is that no one ever said they could only marry one person. Among the uncles and elders of Wujiapo, the fourth uncle, Wu Zhengliang, had three wives and concubines, while Wu Zhenghui married five.

General Wu, the patriarch of the Wu family, married seven wives in his lifetime. The youngest of them was more than twenty years younger than him. He was incredibly long-lived; all seven of his wives outlived him.

This is no general, he's clearly the Duke of Luding.

He's now a skilled martial artist, rich, and handsome—the real "tall, rich, and handsome" man. In feudal society, what's wrong with marrying several women? No one who marries him will be considered wronged.

He had considered the beauties from the original Legend of the Condor Heroes, such as Mu Nianci, Li Mochou, Cheng Yaojia, and even He Yuanjun, as well as the wild Hua Zheng. These women should all be born by now, around five or six years old on average. Even if Wu Chengyu was a beast, he wouldn't be able to bring himself to do it now.

The others who could be counted were of the same generation as Wu Chengyu, including Sun Bu'er and Qiu Qianren's sister, Qiu Qianchi.

Forget about Sun Bu'er. When Wang Chongyang accepted the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, these seven disciples were not much younger than Wang Chongyang, and they are at least close to fifty now.

Besides, she was Ma Yu's first wife, and she had a fiery temper. No matter how you look at it, Wu Chengyu would never have any designs on her.

Iron Palm Lotus Qiu Qianchi was said to be quite good when he was young, but his personality was terrible, and more importantly, he became too frightening when he got old, so Wu Chengyu had no interest in him at all.

So the current situation is that the younger female characters from the original work will have to wait at least ten years, while the older ones are too old and have terrible personalities.

He can't just remain celibate and become a monk for the next ten years, can he? He can't wait that long. This world isn't just about these women. Before the little Mu Nianci and the others grow up, he can marry a few beautiful women and experience the joys of a wealthy young master in feudal society.

However, Wu Chengyu still had his bottom line. If the woman he fancied was already in love with someone else, he couldn't just kill the man and kidnap her, could he? Was Yan Chunyu simply not meant to be with him?

"Who is the person she has feelings for? Can you tell me?"

"It's alright to tell you, of course it's our righteous army's benevolent elder brother."
