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

Chapter 179 Deliberate

Before Gu Junqing could think of a way to escape, the leader of the group of people who trapped the two of them in this dilapidated temple walked in from outside.

He was about forty years old, with a mustache on his face, and looked like a bandit leader from some mountain. He had a dark complexion, raised inverted eyebrows, and a look of smugness in his eyes. His voice was rough, and he sneered at Gu Junqing, who was sitting on the ground with his hands and feet tied and temporarily unable to move, and Shen Lian'er, who had fainted.

Then he turned his gaze to the man standing beside him and said:

"I never thought that one day I would be able to catch an official from the capital. Hahahaha, when I go back I must show off to my brothers in the mountains."

The other person next to the man naturally also complimented him when he heard him say this.

Gu Junqing listened expressionlessly.

The place is small, so besides Gu Junqing and Shen Lian'er, there are only the bearded man in front of him and the five people standing behind him.

After the man finished speaking, another person standing behind him immediately started to flatter him again.

After they finished praising him, they turned their attention back to Gu Junqing. The man standing in front of the five people looked at Gu Junqing, with a smug smile on his face, and said:

"General Gu, we don't want to take such a big risk to arrest you and Miss Shen. The people you took away this morning were all my brothers and the batch of salt. You took them to the emperor, right?"

He spoke such a long sentence but didn't get the point across.

Gu Junqing felt a little annoyed. Of course, Gu Junqing also understood what this guy said. It was nothing more than that the people he ordered to take away in the morning were still their things and people. Now he kidnapped the two of them just for this matter. Shen Lian'er was just the one who was implicated by him.

So Gu Junqing followed his words and asked:

"So you want to use me to make the emperor return your salt and your people?" What a joke.

Of course, Gu Jun didn’t say the rest.

The man didn't know what Gu Junqing had left unsaid, but seeing that she had asked the question, he smiled with satisfaction and said:

"General Gu is indeed wise. What he said is correct. That's it. As long as you return the people and the salt, I will protect your lives."

Who gave him the confidence to believe that the emperor would definitely return the salt and the people to him? Could it be that he could threaten the emperor just because he still had Shen Lian'er in his hands? This reason was a bit ridiculous. Gu Junqing didn't believe that someone could be so stupid. Did he have any tricks up his sleeve?

"How can you be sure that the Emperor will know that I will be here tonight?"

Gu Junqing asked curiously, if it was tomorrow, the emperor might notice something, but it was impossible now.

Now Gu Junqing had no idea that his men had already gone to the palace to ask the emperor for support.

After hearing Gu Junqing's question, the man did not answer, but just said that he had plenty of ways to let the emperor know the situation here, so just wait.

Gu Junqing shut up and didn't say anything more. After the man walked away with a glare, he focused his mind on the rope that tied him up.

The ring on her hand finally came in handy, and fortunately the group of people did not take the ring away from her hand.

Here, Gu Junqing was still struggling with the rope in his hand, while on the other side.

royal palace.

Qi Yunjin had just finished dinner and was about to go to the Qinzheng Hall to continue reviewing today's memorials. However, before he could turn to the third one, a report suddenly came from outside, saying that it was someone from the Gu family army.

He glanced at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan understood immediately, so he walked down from his seat beside the emperor and headed out of the palace gate.

He walked out of the hall, looked at the young eunuch beside him and the men standing behind him, and asked:

"Your general sent you here?"

Several people looked at each other, and one of them, a man who looked more mature than them, stood up to answer Li Yuanfa's question. The man replied:

"General Gu and Miss Shen were kidnapped by a group of people and disappeared."

When Li Yuangang heard this, the first thought in his mind was that it was impossible. How could a person like Gu Junqing be so careless as to allow himself to be kidnapped by others? Then he thought of Miss Shen.

Li Yuan did not ask them which Miss Shen she was, but directly asked the man who was talking to follow him into the Qinzheng Hall, while the people behind him just stood there waiting.

Li Yuan is back.

Qi Yunjin looked up at the people below and asked, "What's the matter?"

The man repeated what he had just said to Li Yuan. After he finished speaking, he secretly raised his eyes to see the emperor's expression.

Qi Yunjin's originally cold expression seemed to become even colder when he heard what the man just said, and there seemed to be a hint of anger on his face.

The man quickly lowered his head and dared not look anymore.

Qi Yunjin stood up and asked him: "Where are they now?"

The man quickly replied: "The rest of the Gu family army has already gone after them. As for where they are, there is silver ash scattered on the ground by General Gu. If you follow the silver ash, you will find General Gu and Miss Shen."

"Ms. Shen? Shen Lian'er?"

"Yes." Qi Yunjin frowned, as if he didn't expect that Gu Junqing was accompanied by the eldest daughter of Duke Shen.

Of course, he really didn't want to think about irrelevant people, so he walked towards the entrance of the palace. As he walked, he did not forget to instruct Li Yuan, who was standing there watching him leave, and said:

"Bring the prison guards with me to find Gu Junqing."

Li Yuan: "...Ah? Okay, I'll go right away."

Before Qi Yunjin left completely, Li Yuan went to see Chen You, the director of the prison department, who happened to be there.

So he told Chen You the emperor's instructions just now, and Chen You said he understood. Soon, a group of people came out of the dark room in the palace and followed Qi Yunjin in the dark.

Li Yuan did not go with him. After all, if anyone came to see the emperor at night, he would still have to cover for them.

However, Li Yuan couldn't help wondering at this moment. Even if Gu Junqing was kidnapped, the emperor could have ordered the prison guards to rescue Gu Junqing from that group of people. Why did he go to rescue him himself?

Li Yuan didn't understand. He felt that he might have to stand alone in this huge and empty Qinzheng Hall all night.

Qi Yunjin had no idea what Li Yuan was thinking at the moment. He led his men to the scene of the incident. When he saw some unnoticeable silver-ash on the ground, he glanced at the few people from the Gu family army who followed closely. When he saw them nod, he led his men to continue looking for people in the direction of the silver-ash.

But halfway through, Qi Yunjin noticed two people who seemed to be going somewhere and were walking in a hurry.

One of them even muttered, "What do you think the boss is thinking? He wants us to go to the palace and tell the emperor that Gu Junqing is in their hands. It's obvious that he wants us to die."
