Chapter 192 Found it

Maybe I owed someone money in my previous life.

Shen Lian'er smiled bitterly in her heart.

Since I can't bring myself to do such a thing, I should think about how to face my father next.

Gu Junqing didn’t know what Shen Lian’er was thinking, but he felt much more relaxed after not seeing Shen Lian’er.

It's impossible that something else will happen next, as she is already a hundred miles away from everyone.

Luo Xingzhi looked at her relaxed and happy face, couldn't help laughing, and joked:

"General Gu, you know, if an ordinary man is pursued by a woman like Miss Shen, he would be so eager to get her that he would not know where his heart is. The general is really different from other men."

Gu Junqing smiled awkwardly and was about to say something when she heard someone calling her from not far away.

Gu Junqing turned around and saw that it was Ji Rang.

Ji Rang searched for a long time and finally found Gu Junqing. The stern expression on his face relaxed slightly, and then replaced with the warmth that Gu Junqing was familiar with. He glanced at him and said in a gentle voice, neither too high nor too low:

"So General Gu is here. It took me a while to find him."

Gu Junqing asked him puzzledly: "What do you want from me?"

Ji Rang smiled: "I am actually quite curious about the ancient painting that Duke Shen mentioned, so I wanted to borrow it from General Gu to have a look."

Having said this, Ji Rang seemed to have just discovered Luo Xingzhi. He quickly turned his head and apologized to him with a faint smile.

Luo Xingzhi's smile remained unchanged, and he even showed great interest in what Ji had just said to Gu Junqing. He also echoed Ji Rang and asked Gu Junqing, "Yes, when I saw General Gu just now, I wanted to ask, where are the rewards that Duke Shen sent to General Gu?"

Gu Junqing raised his empty hands and looked at the two of them with an innocent face:

"There are so many rare ancient paintings and they are so large, how can I possibly carry them all? Naturally, I asked someone close to me to take them back to the mansion."

Ji Rang and the other man tactfully did not ask who Gu Junqing was next to her. After hearing her answer, Luo Xingzhi smiled and nodded, saying, "So that's it."

An hour later, the group gathered at their seats in the main hall of the front yard.

They sat in their seats, looking at Duke Shen's stiffly smiling face, vaguely aware of his current irritable and unhappy mood. No one dared to touch his beard, and they all found excuses to leave the banquet.

Gu Junqing was probably the one who left the fastest. Facing Duke Shen who looked like he was going to hit her in the next second, Gu Junqing's face did not show any emotion. After saying goodbye slowly, she strode out of the Shen Mansion. Behind her were Ji Rang and Luo Xingzhi, the son of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

God knows how these three people got together.

Duke Shen was angry in his heart.

Gu Junqing didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she could no longer see the Shen Mansion. However, she looked at the two men standing on her left and right. She choked and asked:

"Are you two on the same route to my general's mansion?"

She remembered clearly that this road was just a small road leading to the General's Mansion. It was closer to the General's Mansion, but farther away from the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion and the Ji Mansion.

"On the way"

The two said in unison.

Gu Junqing looked at them with a frown on his face, thinking, do they really think that she doesn't know the route? Just let it go, after all, it's not her who has to walk a few more steps in the end.

Gu Junqing did not expose what they said, but just let them stand on both sides of him and chat with him from time to time. When the two were talking about something, Gu Junqing just simply agreed with a word or two.

They had been in the Shen Mansion for nearly a day, and the three of them had only had lunch there. Now the sun had already set, but the three of them had not even had dinner yet, but they were all hungry.

This path actually passes by the famous snack street in Beijing. Ji Rang took the lead in proposing to Gu Junqing:

"Why don't we eat outside the capital? It is said that the snacks on Linyang Street are more abundant. Otherwise, let's go there."

It was naturally what everyone wanted when someone made a suggestion. Luo Xingzhi nodded to indicate his agreement. What did Gu Junqing think about it?

Gu Junqing was more calm than ordinary people. Since someone had asked him to go, he would lose face if he didn't go.

The three of them came to the Tianzi Restaurant. It was already dark at this time, but as one of the most famous restaurants in the capital, the candlelight in the Tianzi Restaurant was as bright as day.

It was the same waiter from last time. He saw Gu Junqing and the two young men behind her whose identities he also recognized. The waiter looked terrified and bent his body even deeper. He asked:

"Three, what do the three adults need?"

Gu Junqing had long been accustomed to the waiter's behavior, but she still frowned, and subconsciously wanted to tell him to straighten his back. However, as soon as she said this, the two men beside her looked at her with inexplicable smiles for some reason.

Gu Junqing was laughed at by the two and was too lazy to pay attention to the waiter. He said casually:

"I'll do as before. As for these two, they can do as they please." That's right, as they please. Gu Junqing felt that it was relatively fair for him to pay for his own food, although it seemed distant and polite.

While waiting for the food to come, the three of them were not idle and started chatting about other things, such as how Gu Junqing, who was chosen the least by cones, and Luo Xingzhi and Ji Rang, who were chosen the most by cones, felt in the game today.

Gu Junqing didn't feel much, after all, he won in the end. It was just that Ji Rang and Luo Xingzhi seemed like a pair of brothers in distress at this moment. They looked at each other with a feeling of sympathy.

Gu Junqing couldn't bear to see it, and recalled how he had been staring at the cone during the game. She seemed to remember something, so Gu Junqing said:

"Why does that cone look so strange to me? I always feel like someone may have tampered with it."

This was as if he was talking to himself. Ji Rang heard it and replied:

"I think so too. Otherwise, after these two incense sticks, everyone has done it more than five times, but General Gu, you have only done it three times. It doesn't make sense."

Luo Xingzhi was puzzled: "Maybe General Gu is just lucky. Is there anything to doubt?"

Gu Junqing: "First of all, let's not talk about the cone issue, let's talk about the wooden table first. Round wooden tables are not common, and it's even rarer to dig a hole in the middle. If it's just for fun, then Duke Shen is really good at it. Secondly, don't you notice that the wooden table is a bit crooked?"
