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

Chapter 200 The Secret of the Basement

Fortunately, I didn’t really fall asleep. I just didn’t feel like moving when I heard the noise.

Duan Jun had to walk forward and knock on the wooden table with his hand to force the man lying on the table to stand up and look at them.

Seeing that he had sleepy eyes and was obviously about to fall asleep, the two of them were speechless.

The man saw it and quickly slapped his face, trying to sober himself up.

It turns out that he still knows that he wants to do business, Gu Junqing nodded and thought to himself.

"What would you two gentlemen like?"

Gu Junqing glanced at him and asked tentatively, "I heard that the peach blossom pastry made by your shop owner is very good. I came here because of his reputation. I wonder if you can recommend some to me?"

The man in front of him didn't take it seriously, obviously thinking that these two people were just ordinary customers who wanted to buy cakes. He nodded, pointed at himself and said:

"I am the owner of the shop. I opened this shop. As for the peach blossom cakes that this guest mentioned, please sit down and wait for a while. It will be ready soon."

Upon hearing this, Gu Junqing took Duan Jun to sit on a chair not far away and waited.

The man spoke quickly, probably to coax them.

Gu Junqing and Duan Jun sat on the chairs and waited for a long time but still didn't get the peach blossom pastry that the owner had promised. They couldn't help but start to feel suspicious. Although their purpose was not to have a bite of peach blossom pastry, they didn't have to wait so long.

The two looked at each other, then stood up and were about to look at the kitchen. However, the man holding the peach blossom cake in his hand saw them stand up, looked at them in confusion, and asked, "Where are you two going?"

Gu Junqing pulled Duan Jun to sit down, his ordinary face was calm and easygoing, he smiled and said casually:

"I didn't go anywhere, I just sat there for a long time and my waist felt uncomfortable."

After these words were spoken, Duan Jun didn't know what he was thinking. He pursed his lips, feeling a little embarrassed, and his earlobes turned slightly red.

The shop owner heard this and said with a look of "I understand you, too" on his face, "Your waist is hurt after sitting for just a while. It seems that you two guests should be more careful when dealing with women in the future."

Gu Junqing: “…” She just said it casually, how did it turn into such a mess?

Gu Junqing's expression did not change. He just pretended that he didn't hear it. He watched the man in front of him put the peach blossom pastry on the table and then returned to his original position, as if he wanted to continue sleeping.

Gu Junqing glanced at Duan Jun, who nodded imperceptibly, then picked up a peach blossom pastry and walked over to the man. His expression was even gentler than Gu Junqing's just now, and he smiled and said:

"Shopkeeper, how long have you opened this shop?"

When the man saw him coming over with pastries in his hand, it seemed that he wanted to chat with him. Thinking that he was bored and that the person in front of him was his guest, there was no need for him to ignore him, so he joined in the chat.

It's just that this man is too good at talking, and he himself is not smart and cautious enough, so Duan Jun accidentally knows a lot of information about the store. Whenever the store owner suspects that Duan Jun is trying to trick him, he thinks from his expression that he is just talking casually and doesn't take it to heart.

If you don't take it to heart, you won't remember it.

The shopkeeper comforted himself in his heart, but seeing that Duan Jun was getting impatient, he waved his hand and said that he was busy now. Duan Jun knew that he had almost gotten what he wanted, so he stopped asking and took out a silver coin from his sleeve and put it on the table.

The shopkeeper just felt displeased with him, but when he saw the silver in front of him, his displeasure instantly disappeared. He looked at Duan Jun with a smile and wanted to say something, but Duan Jun waved his hand and said he wanted to sit for a while.

After Duan Jun came back, Gu Junqing glanced at the shopkeeper who was smiling fascinatedly while holding the silver, then looked at him and asked in a low voice:

"What did you get?"

Duan Jun also replied in a low voice: "Liu Changgui was this man's master, but he was said to have been killed a few days ago, leaving only this shop to his apprentice."

Gu Junqing nodded. She was still very confident in Duan Jun's ability to get questions from others.

Gu Junqing did not ask Duan Jun what else he had to say. After all, it was not convenient to discuss matters here. So she put the cakes in her hand back on the plate, ignored the shopkeeper who was still excited about the sudden windfall, and turned around and left with Duan Jun. They returned to the house they had just seen, but just went to the small road, chose a place where there was no one, and climbed over the wall to go in.

Of course they didn't just climb over the wall casually, as there were their own people inside. They climbed over the wall only after they were sure it was okay and would not be discovered by others.

Otherwise, once you turn inside and see that the person is not your own, it will be much more troublesome if a fight breaks out.

Because it took Gu Junqing and Duan Jun an hour to come and go, and the ten people who came with Gu Junqing and had been lurking in this house looking for clues from the beginning had already been here for an hour, but they didn't find any useful information. Or, they did find something, but they only found a basement with a group of people guarding it.

Fortunately, they climbed over the wall and didn't make much noise, otherwise it would have been troublesome if they had attracted those people below.

Gu Junqing thought to himself. Then he asked the man to lead the way and show them where the basement he mentioned was.

When Gu Junqing and Duan Jun saw the basement and the people guarding it, they fell completely silent.

They really didn't expect that there were almost thirty people guarding here, and each of them was holding swords and other weapons in their hands.

It can be seen that the owner of this basement attaches great importance to this place and has spent so much manpower to watch over it. Gu Junqing was very curious, but if he forced his way in at this time, he would obviously be courting death.

She glanced at the ten people she had brought with her.

They squatted behind him and waited for his instructions.

Gu Junqing thought, fortunately the ten people she had chosen before coming here were very good at hiding their bodies and keeping out of the dangers. Otherwise, if they were discovered, not all of them might be able to leave here alive.

Gu Junqing waved his hand and made a gesture, signaling everyone to leave. Everyone looked at the group of people not far away, and they also knew what Gu Junqing meant by this gesture. They were not reckless people and only listened to Gu Junqing's orders, so everyone dispersed to the door.

Gu Junqing squatted where he was, continuing to look at the group of people not far away, as if he wanted to see something.

Duan Jun squatted behind her, not saying anything for fear of being heard by the group of people not far away. However, he was worried about General Gu being here alone, so he stayed here without paying attention to her gesture.

Gu Junqing glanced at him. The gesture just now meant that everyone should leave first, but Duan Jun didn't want to and she didn't have time to say anything now.
