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

Chapter 271 North City

Zhang Wenlai nodded in agreement.

Having said that, after the few of them made a brief plan for what to do tomorrow, Yongning Hou looked at their slightly tired faces and realized that it was already late. He stopped talking and waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the door. He softened his tone and asked everyone to go back to their rooms and rest first.

After hearing this, everyone went back to their rooms.

The next morning.

Even though they fell asleep very late, everyone had something on their mind and woke up very early the next day.

As soon as Zhang Wenlai woke up, he washed up as usual and went to the kitchen to order the cook to make a richer breakfast. However, as soon as he opened the door of the bedroom, he saw Yongning Hou standing not far away, seemingly exercising.

He was stunned, thinking aimlessly in his mind that Yongning had gotten up earlier than him, and his other foot kept moving towards him, thinking of saluting.

Yongninghou nodded and asked him where he was going.

Zhang Wenlai answered honestly that he went to the kitchen.

Upon hearing this, Marquis Yongning just nodded. Seeing this, Zhang Wenlai did not stay any longer and turned around to walk towards the kitchen.

However, before he had taken two steps, he was stopped by a word from Yongning Hou behind him.

All I heard him say was that you just need to prepare a few more meals as you did before.

Zhang Wenlai turned around and said yes, then walked towards the kitchen without looking back.

Yongning Hou continued his training. When breakfast came, it was already three incense sticks long.

Marquis Yongning was brought by Zhang Wenlai to a side courtyard, which was a special place for meals.

Marquis Yongning looked at the simple porridge and side dishes on the table with the same expression on his face. He did not show any discomfort or disgust. He just accepted them calmly. If he tasted something good, he would simply praise it with a few words, which made the cooks and servants who were waiting for Marquis Yongning's evaluation breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Zhang Wenlai also breathed a sigh of relief, then focused all his attention on the food on his table and began to eat attentively.

Marquis Yongning looked at this group of masters and servants who were making a fuss about nothing, and while eating his meal, he thought calmly in his heart that he had even gnawed tree bark in his past, so he was not as picky and noble as they thought.

After everyone finished breakfast, Zhang Wenlai went from the guest room in the backyard to see whether the doctors had prepared today's inhibitory drugs properly. Originally, Yongning Hou wanted to go with them, but he was called away by someone around him. It was said that the man he accidentally rescued yesterday had woken up.

After watching Zhang Wenlai walk away, Marquis Yongning withdrew his gaze and asked the guard in front of him to lead the way.

The soldier from yesterday placed the man in a small side room in the backyard of the city lord's mansion and then returned to the city gate to stand guard.

On the way, Yongning Hou also met Cao Anshan who was coming towards them.

After all, Cao Anshan is also a general, and the emperor also values him very much, so Marquis Yongning naturally has to give a simple return gift.

After a brief greeting, Cao Anshan suddenly said that he wanted to go to the well in the east of the city to take a look.

When Marquis Yongning heard this, although he was surprised, he did not ask any further questions. He simply told him to be careful.

Cao Anshan knew the meaning of these four words, so he nodded and replied with thanks.

After he finished speaking, Cao Anshan saw that Marquis Yongning was heading in one direction. He subconsciously looked behind him, a faint smile appeared on his face, and then he said that he would not delay the Marquis, turned around and walked in the direction behind Marquis Yongning.

After a brief episode, Yongning Hou arrived at the door of the house in the small courtyard.

The guard leading the way quickly opened the door, and then made way for Yongning Hou to go in. After he went in, he closed the door again, followed behind Yongning Hou silently, and protected his safety.

As soon as Yongning came in, he felt someone was staring at him.

He followed his line of sight towards the couch and saw that the man who was covered in blood yesterday was now curled up on the couch, his back leaning against the pillow, his eyes looking at him with undisguised inquiry.

Yongning Hou's eyelids twitched, but he didn't say anything. He just stood there patiently and let him look through.

After the man finished looking at him, he seemed to feel nothing was interesting and lowered his head again, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yongning Hou sat on a chair not far from the man.

On the table there were cakes and tea that the servants had already prepared.

Yongning Hou had just finished breakfast, so naturally he would not touch the cakes and pastries on the table. He simply poured himself a cup of tea to quench his thirst, then raised his eyes and looked at the man again. Coincidentally, he also raised his eyes and looked at him.

The four looked at each other, and Yongning Hou spoke first, with a slightly low voice and a gentle tone, "I guess you know what the situation is in Nanyu City now. Now all the people try not to go out, but you are lying on the ground in broad daylight with a knife wound on your body. Aren't you afraid of contracting the plague?"

The question was asked in a roundabout way, very much in the style of Marquis Yongning.

The man seemed annoyed by this roundabout way of asking. His pale lips moved slightly, and his breath was a little weak, but he spoke directly and briefly: "I met an enemy and was accidentally ambushed. After escaping the pursuit, I fainted. Thank you for saving me, sir."

At the end, I didn’t forget to express my gratitude.

Most of the people Yongning Hou met were those who liked to speak in a roundabout way like him. Some of them were unable to react when they came into contact with someone who spoke so directly.

After he reacted, he looked at the man who was looking at him in confusion and chuckled. In his heart, he had a good impression of this kind of person, so he imitated this man and said the next words more bluntly. He only heard him say:

"I see. In that case, you can go back after you recover from your injury. There are not many servants in the mansion. They were all sent out by the city lord to help. So sometimes they may not be able to take care of you. Of course, judging from your appearance, you don't look like a local."

The man was stunned. He had thought that the person in front of him would ask who his enemy was, or become more wary of him and then directly drive him out. Unexpectedly, he agreed to let him stay here until his injury healed.

The man had no intention of staying here forever. He was relieved that the man in front of him was tolerant of him. He was not too cautious about the question from Yongning Hou. Just like before, he spoke directly and simply replied with two words: "North City"

Upon hearing this, Marquis Yongning lowered his eyes slightly, thinking that the next city to Nanyu City is Beicheng.
