Gu Songhan emerged from behind a large tree not far away and approached, his eyes coldly fixed on the couple lying on the ground, and then on Qu Shaowu and Shao Zhengnan, who had each knocked one of them unconscious.
The two looked at Gu Songhan with the expressions of guilty wives, trying to please him while also feeling afraid.
Gu Songhan said sternly, "What are you still standing there for!"
Qu Shaowu and Shao Zhengnan both cried out in their hearts: It's over!
They were ordered to monitor Wu Feitao, intending to give themselves away and warn him not to do anything reckless. But Wu Feitao insisted on doing something completely out of line, and even revealed their good intentions, thus harming the two brothers!
I'm so angry!
Qu Shaowu swallowed hard and chuckled dryly. "Deputy Commander Gu, this man doesn't seem like much usually, but he's surprisingly cautious! I'm not capable enough, so please take the trouble to teach me, Deputy Commander Gu, so I can serve you faithfully in the future!"
Gu Songhan glanced coldly at the two of them, "Take them away!"
Qu Shaowu and Shao Zhengnan each carried one of Song Yuhui and Wu Feitao from the ground and followed behind Gu Songhan...
One hour later.
Qu Shaowu noticed that Gu Songhan was leading them around Jingyue Nunnery, and at first he thought it had some hidden meaning...
Another hour passed before Qu Shaowu noticed they were still circling around. Exhausted, he mustered his courage and asked, "Deputy Commander Gu, have you not yet decided how to deal with them?"
"I've made up my mind. I just feel it's still early and the moonlight is just right today, so I've decided to enjoy the moon!"
What?
Moon gazing?
Why bring them along?!
They were carrying someone on their backs!
Seemingly noticing their confusion, Gu Songhan said coolly, "Walking makes one's mind clear and less likely to make mistakes!"
So this is Deputy Commander Gu punishing them for their poor performance!
Qu Shaowu and Shao Zhengnan were completely exasperated and resignedly carried the person on their backs as they embarked on the long journey.
This time, Gu Songhan didn't try to keep them away, but instead led them down the mountain.
Qu Shaowu and Shao Zhengnan breathed a sigh of relief, but as they got closer to the city gate, their relief was short-lived.
"Deputy Commander Gu, are you heading into the city?"
"Um!"
"Just like that, we enter the city?"
Gu Songhan gave him a look as if he were an idiot.
"We're hiding this from people!"
Gu Songhan glanced at Wu Feitao and Song Yuhui behind them and said coldly, "Leave them here and strip them naked!"
"ah?"
Ignoring their questions, Gu Songhan continued, "You two stay here and keep watch. Don't let these two wake up before dawn! Also, if anyone comes, you know what to do, right?"
Qu Shaowu and Shao Zhengnan shook their heads blankly.
"Someone has to take them back. If you're willing, you can take them back to their residence!"
Having said that, he left without a word, leaving the two men in shock...
Under the moonlight, Gu Songhan once again arrived at the ancestral hall of the Marquis of Changping's residence.
Jiang Segu Song, his eyes still blurry, noticed that he hadn't changed his clothes and frowned.
However, before she could speak, she was stunned by a message that Gu Songhan dropped.
"Ding Weichang wasn't killed by Wu Feitao!"
"Not Ding Weichang? Then who is it?"
Gu Songhan shook his head, "Wu Feitao doesn't know either. I just went to Jingyue Nunnery with him, and he told Song Yuhui himself!"
If it wasn't Wu Feitao who killed him, then capturing Song Yuhui to force him to submit wouldn't work!
Gu Songhan's lips moved slightly, but he didn't mention what he had just done. He only comforted Wu Feitao, saying, "Wu Feitao will probably be too busy to handle things here these next few days. I will send more people to Shunde to investigate. I hope we can find the murderer!"
Jiang Segu nodded, "If we can see Changping, ask him if Ding Weichang showed any unusual behavior when they last met! Also, we need to thoroughly investigate Ding Weichang's family, especially his clansmen!"
Gu Songhan said he understood, "You should rest. I'll bring you food again tomorrow night!"
Seeing that he was about to leave, Jiang Segu said to wait and asked him, "Why haven't you applied medicine to your wounds yet?"
"I wasn't comfortable with the two people who were following Wu Feitao, so I didn't have time to go back home!"
Do you have any medicine for your wounds?
Gu Songhan subconsciously understood what Jiang Segu meant, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up as he replied, "Yes!"
Then he took out a small white porcelain bottle, about the size of a thumb, from his bosom.
Seeing that he didn't do anything after taking it out, Jiang Segu laughed angrily, "Since you have it, why are you still standing there not applying the medicine!"
Gu Songhan exclaimed "Ah!" and froze on the spot.
Jiang Segu assumed he was just shy and turned away. "Don't worry, I won't peek! I'm just afraid you'll forget to treat your wound when you get back! It's better if you get the medicine done here and go back, so I won't have to worry about it!"
Seeing this, Gu Songhan pinched his brow bone.
I should have just said he didn't exist, so the girl would still care about him!
***
The next day, at dawn.
The city gate was filled with a deafening noise!
"Whose young master and young lady are these, acting so immorally!"
"To be naked in broad daylight is utterly disgraceful!"
"..."
Amidst the chorus of condemnations, a shrill voice suddenly rang out, "Isn't this the young master of the Ministry of War's household?"
Another voice chimed in, "Isn't that the second young lady from Grand Tutor Song's household?"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves, the clamor of discussion rivals that of a butcher shop in a vegetable market...
Taking advantage of the chaos, Qu Shaowu and Shao Zhengnan quickly made their escape, leaving without a trace of remorse, their composure concealing their identities and reputations, revealing only their guilty conscience and fear of being exposed for their wrongdoing.
Having not returned home all night, they first went to their respective wives and concubines to soothe their frightened hearts, and then went to the North City Military Command as usual to perform their duties.
