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

Chapter 302 Tenderness

After all, due to their superior numbers, Qi Anyi was ultimately defeated.

Marquis Yongning looked at Qi Anyi, who was tied up by the guards and placed casually in a corner. His face showed no emotion. He thought to himself that if Qi Anyi had not done this tonight, he would have to wait a few days before taking the person away.

Originally, I could have hurled the evidence at Qi Anyi's face, but now it seems that there is no need for that.

Since the criminal has been brought to justice and Nanyucheng's illness is under control, he has no need to stay in Nanyucheng any longer. It's time to return to the capital to report.

Yongning Hou looked around the City Lord's Mansion. The traces of the fight were still there. Now only the City Lord's Mansion guards were left cleaning up the scene. Before leaving, Yongning Hou remembered to deal with Qi Anyi's men.

After everything in Nanyu City was arranged, Marquis Yongning, together with the guards and doctors who had come with him from the capital to Nanyu City, bid farewell to Zhang Wenlai at the city gate of Nanyu City.

As for Qi Anyi, he was naturally followed back with him, but this man's reputation was completely ruined. After all, no one could tolerate a culprit who deliberately created a plague to harm the people of the entire city.

After watching Yongning Hou and others walk away, Zhang Wenlai turned around and looked at the people of Nanyu City who accompanied him to see them off.

They looked at him eagerly, as if waiting for his next instructions.

Zhang Wenlai had nothing to give orders. Facing these people, he felt tired for the first time.

He waved his hand and asked the people to disperse. Returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Zhang Wenlai looked at everything around him. The local government, which was quite lively yesterday, now seemed much quieter and more lonely.

After all, a plague had killed most of the guards and servants in his City Lord's Mansion. The guards who were originally supposed to stay in the City Lord's Mansion were now forced to recruit a team of people from the City Lord's Mansion to guard the city gate and the city because of the shortage of people.

After working for a whole day, Zhang Wenlai should have taken a rest at this point, but he looked at the person huddled in the corner, narrowed his eyes slightly, and called the person's name in a deep voice.

Zhang Kai was called by the city lord's full name, and his whole body trembled. However, he still forced himself to remain calm, took a step forward, and then knelt straight on the ground, as if he knew what Zhang Wenlai was going to say next.

Seeing him so self-conscious, Zhang Wenlai sneered and said to Zhang Kai with a somewhat cold tone: "I think I treated you well, but you betrayed me at the critical moment of the plague! I didn't pursue you a few days ago because I saw that you didn't put poison on the medicinal materials used to make the pills, and stopped several other secret agents. I also saw that you pulled back at the last moment, so I temporarily spared your life! What's more, when we found out that you betrayed us, you were under close surveillance. Otherwise, you would have been torn apart by now..."

At this point, Zhang Wenlai looked up at Zhang Kai, who had been kneeling there with his head down and not saying a word. Seeing his pitiful appearance, he finally softened his tone and asked him in a calm voice where he planned to go next.

Zhang Kai raised his head suddenly when he heard this.

Zhang Wenlai also knew why Zhang Kai betrayed him. It would be a lie to say that he didn't mind, but the decades of friendship between him and Zhang Kai were also true. What's more, after Zhang Kai betrayed them, apart from telling them some information about the recent situation of the City Lord's Mansion and misleading their thinking, nothing else was serious.

After finding so many excuses, it all comes down to Zhang Wenlai being soft-hearted.

Zhang Kai knew that Zhang Wenlai was determined to drive him away. He lowered his eyes and comforted himself in his heart that at least the city lord had spared his life. In the end, the city lord was soft-hearted towards him because of their past friendship.

The words that were originally prepared in my mind were swallowed back by Zhang Wenlai's cold eyes.

Zhang Kai took one last look at Zhang Wenlai, then left the room and left the City Lord's Mansion completely under his warning gaze.

Zhang Wenlai looked at Zhang Kai's departing back. The coldness on his face could not be maintained after all, and a little sadness appeared in his eyes.

As for the original leader, under his persistent request, Yongning Hou finally agreed to accept him as his own. As for his son, he naturally followed the man to the capital.

After the plague ended, Li Laile took the precious medicinal herbs that Zhang Wenlai had found in the City Lord's Mansion and gave them to him and disappeared somewhere unknown.

It's not that I didn't try to keep him here, but he didn't want to stay here. He was used to living a free and unfettered life, so how could he easily stay in someone else's place and be ordered around by others?

Nanyu City is really too far away from the capital. The journey back to the capital took nearly half a month before we arrived at the city gate.

There were assassination attempts and attacks on the road, which were commonplace and relatively easy to resolve. After all, there were secret guards sent by the emperor to secretly escort them on the road.

It took Marquis Yongning two whole months to lead his men to Nanyu City. They stayed in the city for two months and completely eliminated the plague in the city. There were few accidents during this period. It can be said that Marquis Yongning successfully completed the task assigned by the emperor.

After he returns to Beijing, the emperor will surely reward him handsomely.

This was the unanimous thought in the minds of the people in the capital after they learned that Yongning Hou had returned safely to the capital. The person who welcomed Yongning Hou back to the capital at the city gate was Gu Junqing, who had been serving as Yudu Protector for the past two months.

Not anymore, after all, Chen You returned from abroad half a month ago. Gu Junqing was originally a temporary replacement for Yu Duhu, and now that the real Yu Duhu is back, she will naturally step down and let the wise man take over.

She had been idle recently, and when the emperor found out, he immediately sent her to the city gate to welcome Marquis Yongning.

Gu Junqing stood at the city gate, looking at nothing not far away. Instead, Ji Rang, who was standing next to him, kept saying something.

Her attention was all on the previous secret letter. The secret letter last night told her that Marquis Yongning and his men would be able to return to the capital this afternoon.

It is already evening, but there is still no sign of anyone outside the gate.

Gu Junqing was a little worried, so he didn't pay much attention to Ji Rang beside him.

It was not until she was patted on the shoulder that Gu Junqing came back to her senses and looked at Ji Rang with dissatisfaction. She never liked any physical contact with them, so her tone was a little impatient. She looked at Ji Rang and asked him in a deep voice: "Why did Prime Minister Ji pat me when he had nothing to do?"

Ji Rang had a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to care about Gu Junqing's coldness and impatient attitude. He reached out and handed the thing in his hand to Gu Junqing, and the smile in his eyes was as gentle as a spring breeze.
