The General is Pregnant: His Majesty Abstinence and Sexual Devotion Every Night

Chapter 139 Leaving the Capital

"If the guard with a broken leg really took Chu You away, then he must not be too far away from the capital. Otherwise, how can we see Mu You now..."

"In fact, what I suspect more is that the guard did not take Chu You out of the capital, but hid him in a corner of the capital. And..."

At this point, a hint of uncertainty flashed in Gu Junqing's eyes, and his tone was also a little hesitant, and he said:

"I suspect that if what Xiangxiang said in Yihonglou just now is true, then the man that Mu You gave a purse to before his death might be the guard with the broken leg."

This suspicion is really far-fetched. Things that were originally unrelated can be thought of together. Ji Rang thought so in his heart, but he still thought about it further according to this line of thought.

"In that case, we have to go to Yihonglou again."

Upon hearing this, Gu Junqing shrugged his shoulders and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he followed Ji Rang to Yihong Tower.

The mother of Yihonglou was standing at the door of the private room on the second floor. This was where the incident happened. The two bodies that were supposed to be lying on the ground had been taken away by Ji Rang's men. Now she was standing here, and no one knew what she was doing.

Gu Junqing and Ji Rang came silently, and the number of people following them decreased from dozens to two.

This was because they didn't want to make any obvious noise when returning to Yihonglou. After all, this alley was originally blocked and was only reluctantly unblocked when the two of them left. Now the streets and alleys are full of people.

I just subconsciously wanted to go to the scene to see something, but when I went upstairs, I saw Yihonglou's mother standing there. She looked a little dazed and I didn't know what she was thinking.

The two men paused and had no intention of going any further inside. Instead, they stood at the door of the box, using the half-open door to hide their bodies, staring inside without blinking.

No one knew how long the mother of Yihonglou had been sitting there, and she had no intention of getting up and leaving. The two of them stood there patiently without making any noise. Fortunately, this place was remote, and someone had just died, so no one wanted to come here and bring bad luck upon themselves.

After a while, the sitting mother of Yihonglou moved. She was blocked by the door, so I couldn't see her expression. From her tone, I couldn't tell whether she was more emotional or regretful. I only heard the gentle voice of Yihonglou's mother:

"Mu You, ah Mu You, love is the most untrustworthy thing in the world, why don't you listen to your mother's advice..."

Having said this, the mother of Yihonglou fell silent. After sitting for a while, she seemed unwilling to think about it any further and was about to walk towards the door. However, before she walked out of the box, she was frightened by Gu Junqing and Ji Rang, who had been standing outside the door for who knows how long.

Seeing her face full of shock, it seemed that she didn't expect that the two of them would come back, and she didn't know what she heard while standing here. After being shocked, Yihonglou's mother's face was full of panic. She subconsciously wanted to kneel down, but was stopped by Gu Junqing who was standing next to Ji Rang.

Then the mother of Yihonglou heard the following words in her ears:

"Although eavesdropping is not a good thing, it is a coincidence that I was able to learn some things that Yihonglou's mother did not tell me just now."

"Then we have to ask you again. You just mentioned love. Could it be that Miss Mu You had intimate relationships with other men before she died?"

To put it simply, could it be that Mu You made a vow to a man before she died, like the ones in the storybooks, "When I make money, I will redeem you and live with you forever, and marry you?" In the stories told in these storybooks, the male and female protagonists are rarely together.

This is what Gu Junqing thought when he heard Qingyi and Qinghe talking about these stories.

Gu Junqing's question was tactful and straightforward. The mother of Yihonglou choked and seemed to be at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

Then she looked at Ji Rang who was waiting for her next words.

The mother of Yihonglou knew that she had revealed the secret and could not hide it any longer, so she had to bite the bullet and tell the two of them the last things she knew.

"Yes, a young man named Wu comes to Yihonglou every three days to look for Miss Mu You. He came yesterday and left, and then this happened that night..."

With that said, that kid surnamed Wu is indeed a big suspect.

The two asked more questions about the boy named Wu in front of the mother of Yihonglou, and only let them leave after she knew nothing about it.

The two of them used what they knew to vaguely form a plan in their minds.

It seems to be a coincidence.

Let’s see what news will be released in three days.

However, Gu Junqing's face turned dark. In the end, he still knew nothing. The next day, he left the capital and went to southern Fujian.

Ji Rang seemed to react as well and was stunned for a moment, then the smile on his face became more obvious.

The two of them left Yihonglou again, but they didn't go back so quickly. They went to the No. 1 Restaurant in the World. It had been a long time since they had tasted peach blossom wine, and Ji Rang suddenly felt a little craving for it.

When I arrived at the restaurant, the waiter was still the same as last time.

The waiter's expression was still the same, attentive, flattering, and a bit flattering. It was obvious that after recognizing him, Ji Rang beside him also recognized him. The second came to the private room on the second floor where he often went.

In addition to the wine, Ji Rang also asked the waiter to buy a few of the restaurant's signature dishes, saying that he was hungry.

Yes, it’s almost lunch time now. It’s a bit late to go back now, so it’s better to eat outside.

Perhaps they didn't want to neglect them and keep them waiting for too long, so they served the dishes and wine faster.

At least in Gu Junqing's memory, it was fast.

Without thinking too much, Gu Junqing lowered his eyes and looked at the food and wine in front of him. He wanted to drink a glass of wine first, but he saw Ji Rang fill a glass of wine first, and then the first step was to pick up the serving chopsticks to serve him the food.

Gu Junqing thought about it and felt that it would be better to eat the dishes first.

But something seems wrong.

Military officers always drink first and then eat, but civil officials do the opposite, and no one knows why.

Forget it, forget it, don’t think about these trivial matters anymore.

Calming down his thoughts, Gu Junqing picked up the wine that he had put aside and only took a sip of and continued drinking.

Ji Rang, who was sitting opposite her, just glanced at her, paused with his hand holding the serving chopsticks, but in the end he didn't say anything more and just continued to put food in his own bowl.

After eating and drinking, the two of them went back to their respective homes and cleaned up what needed to be cleaned up.

Gu Junqing returned home not too late, just when the people in the mansion had just finished lunch.

Once again coming to the rockery in the backyard, Gu Junqing saw two figures, one big and one small, in front of him and could not help but remain silent.
