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

Chapter 178: Divide

The daytime hours are longer in the summer. Even though it is already 3:15 pm, the sun is only halfway down.

Gu Junqing looked up and squinted at the setting sun above, then turned his attention back to the people. There was only one stick of incense left, and the young general who came to change shifts would arrive.

Shen Lian'er was still sitting in the teahouse, staring at him stubbornly, as if she wanted to stare a flower out of her face.

Gu Junqing was originally thinking about how to drive the person away, but as time went on, he became too lazy to pay attention to Shen Lian'er. It was just wishful thinking, and no matter how much he said, it would only make Shen Lian'er fantasize more.

Even if she had no illusions, she still had Duke Shen behind her.

Duke Shen must have come for the military token in his hand. He wanted to use the method from his previous life to marry Shen Lian'er into his general's mansion. In the end, what he got was the division of military power and the tragic deaths of the soldiers' relatives.

When Gu Junqing thought of this, she couldn't hold back the murderous anger in her heart, her face was full of cold impatience. The young soldier beside her who had been peeking at Gu Junqing playfully shuddered when he saw her expression, and didn't dare to continue imagining anything.

The young general who was on duty arrived. After Gu Junqing nodded to him, he packed up and prepared to return home.

But just as he took a step, Shen Lian'er, who was still in the teahouse, came out jogging, stood beside him, and smiled sweetly at Gu Junqing with her face raised.

Gu Junqing was helpless. Since he couldn't chase them away, he would just let them follow. There were a lot of people watching them behind him anyway, so there wouldn't be any rumors.

Despite this, Gu Junqing felt that she should avoid it if possible, so she took bigger steps and walked a little faster. Shen Lian'er, who was originally walking beside Gu Jikou, saw that Gu Junqing was walking faster and faster. She followed him with reserved steps at first, but in the end, because Gu Junqing was walking in front and could hardly keep up with him, she loosened her pace and started to jog.

They look like they are determined to walk together.

Seeing this, Shen Lian'er's servants behind her also started to jog, while the guards followed Shen Lian'er at a distance not too far from her.

Gu Junqing was walking in front and didn't pay attention to the situation behind her, so she walked faster and faster. When she was getting closer and closer to the general's mansion, she suddenly heard a few exclamations from behind. She paused and turned to look behind her, and found that Shen Lian'er, who was originally following her, was gone, and the few people following Shen Lian'er were also nowhere to be seen.

Gu Junqing remembered that among the exclamations just now, there was a delicate and fearful voice, that was Shen Lian'er.

Without time to think too much, Gu Junqing's face turned cold. Shen Lian'er, who had been following him, was lost beside him. If she was gone, then he and Duke Shen would have completely torn their faces apart. However, it was not appropriate to tear their faces apart at this time. After all, everyone's focus was on the assassins who assassinated the emperor at the lotus viewing banquet, and Duke Shen was also busy with this matter recently.

She was still waiting for Duke Shen to find the assassins and bring them to justice.

If Shen Lian'er was missing, Duke Shen's next focus would definitely be on her.

Gu Junqing thought this was terrible.

The Gu family soldiers who were following him back to the general's mansion saw that Gu Junqing looked like he was looking for someone. They understood what he meant and divided into several teams, following Gu Junqing to look for someone.

After searching for a while, they didn't find him. Instead, a little servant named Cui'er who was originally with Shen Lian'er started crying even more happily after seeing Gu Junqing. Just as she was about to say something, Gu Junqing spoke first, his face looked as cold as if he was freezing to death, and his tone contained impatience and imperceptible worry: "Lead the way first!"

Cui'er choked, so she didn't say anything more. She turned around and led the group of people.

It is naturally much faster to find someone with someone leading the way.

When Gu Junqing just saw Shen Lian'er's figure, the group of people who had tied up Shen Lian'er in front of him reacted and turned around to look at the person who suddenly came over.

However, at the moment, Gu Junqing is really alone. When he vaguely saw the figure just now, he guessed that the person in front might be Shen Lian'er, after all, they were both wearing pink clothes.

So he used his Qinggong skills and hurried over.

Gu Junqing looked at the group of people in front of her. Each of them glared at her ferociously with knives in their hands. Among them, a man who was holding the unconscious Shen Lian'er held the long knife against Shen Lian'er's slender and fragile neck, his eyes full of threats. Seeing this, she slowed down her foot movement.

The people behind him didn't catch up with Gu Junqing's pace, and they should still be chasing after him.

When Cui'er and a group of people arrived here, the street was empty except for a few guards and servants who were lying unconscious on the ground.

They stood there in a daze for a long while before realizing that they had lost their people. Then they dispersed and went to look for Gu Junqing and Shen Lian'er separately.

Someone among them found some fine silver ash scattered on the ground. Many of the people present were from the Gu family army, so they naturally knew what these silver ashes on the ground represented.

This was Gu Junqing spilling on the ground. Someone followed this trace and chased after him.

Others were too worried because there were dozens of people holding long swords, and they were only ten people with long swords in their hands. They were the lowest among the Gu family army, so they might not be able to defeat them. So they went in the opposite direction of them. They didn't know who to look for, but subconsciously thought of the emperor. Gu Junqing didn't know what these people were doing now. She opened her eyes and looked at the scene in front of her, thinking in her heart that they were actually a group of people.

Looking at the large pile of salt around and the large group of people guarding it, each of them was holding a long sword, a long knife, or a short dagger in their hands.

It would have been fine if she could escape by herself, but she couldn't escape, and she had to rescue Shen Lian'er who was in their hands. This was quite difficult. Gu Junqing was not very confident, so she simply took advantage of the situation and let them kidnap her on purpose, and then see what she could do one step at a time.

But now his hands and feet were tied, and even the long-sleeved knife at his waist was taken away by this group of people.

Gu Junqing's hands and feet were also tied up, and she could hardly move. She glanced at Shen Lian'er, who had not yet woken up from her coma, and her forehead twitched.

This place looked like a ruined temple, and no one knew where they had taken them. There was almost no one on the road except for them, as if they had come to some desolate wilderness. As the saying goes, the higher the virtue, the higher the evil. Even though the two of them were tied up here, and one of them had fainted, fortunately when they were kidnapped, they knew to sprinkle the silver ash on the ground, and the people around them would definitely catch up.
