Chapter 369 But He Just Can’t Control His Jealousy
"See if I dare!"
Gu Chengan exerted slight force on the blade.
A shallow blood mark immediately appeared on the female leader's snow-white neck, and fine blood beads oozed out.
There was a loud "bang".
The door of the wooden house, which was not very strong to begin with, was kicked open with great force, and wood chips flew everywhere.
Gu Junze, with a strong murderous aura, rushed in holding a long sword that was still dripping with blood.
Shadow Three and Shadow Four followed closely behind, their eyes as sharp as lightning.
When he saw Gu Cheng'an holding the female leader hostage with a knife, a hint of surprise flashed in his deep eyes.
The surprise quickly turned into deep admiration and subtle peace of mind.
"Chengyan!"
“Big Brother!”
Gu Cheng'an's spirits suddenly lifted, and his tense heartstrings relaxed slightly.
The moment the female leader saw Gu Junze appear, a trace of complete despair flashed in her eyes.
But the despair only lasted a moment, and was immediately replaced by a crazy cunning.
She suddenly let out an extremely sharp scream.
Taking advantage of the moment when Gu Cheng'an's attention was drawn, she suddenly ducked down and tried to break free from the blade's control.
At the same time, several of her loyal subordinates rushed towards Gu Cheng'an with roars, almost regardless of the consequences.
They used their bodies to try to buy the female leader that crucial time to escape.
Gu Cheng'an reacted extremely quickly and swung his sword to drive back the oncoming enemy.
But the female leader had already slipped out like a loach, and her figure quickly disappeared into the secret passage next to her.
"The county magistrate has been in league with us for a long time! You can't defeat us! Just wait and see!"
The sound quickly faded away and disappeared.
During the struggle and confrontation just now, Gu Cheng'an's already injured arm was scratched again, and blood gushed out, staining his sleeves red.
Gu Junze quickly stepped forward, supported his shaky body, and said in a deep voice, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, big brother."
As the sky brightened, the sounds of fighting on Tiger Tooth Mountain gradually subsided.
Gu Junze left General Shi in charge of clearing out the remaining forces and searching the mountain stronghold.
He took Gu Cheng'an, whose arm was wrapped in cloth and whose face was pale, and a team of elite soldiers, and rode at full speed, heading straight for the county government office at the foot of the mountain.
The lobby of the county government office was dead silent at this moment.
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open!
Gu Junze was covered in dust from his journey, with a cold murderous look between his brows, and he strode in with big strides.
He didn't even wait for the notice and rushed directly into the back hall.
The county magistrate, who was still sleeping and dreaming of getting promoted and getting rich, was pulled out of his warm bed like a chicken!
"Ah! Who? Who dares..."
The county magistrate screamed in terror, his eyes half-closed and his clothes in disarray, as he was pinned down by two ferocious soldiers and dragged to the center of the cold hall.
When he saw that the person coming was the evil-looking Gu Junze, he was instantly frightened out of his wits and his fat body shook like a sieve.
"General... General... what do you mean? What crime have I committed?"
The county magistrate fell to his knees, crying and wailing, denying everything.
"General, be wise! I am loyal to the court, how could I have colluded with bandits? This is an injustice! A great injustice!"
Gu Junze snorted coldly, his eyes like knives tempered with ice, making the county magistrate tremble with fear.
He waved his hand, and Ying Si immediately stepped forward and threw a stack of letters and several keepsakes found in the stronghold in front of the county magistrate with a "bang".
"Open your dog eyes and look! What are these!"
Gu Junze's voice seemed to come from the Nine Netherworld Cold Pond.
"With all the evidence and witnesses, you still dare to quibble!"
When the county magistrate saw those letters and familiar keepsakes, the blood instantly drained from his face. He turned as pale as paper and collapsed to the ground.
He could no longer utter a word of defence, and only the sound of his teeth chattering could be heard.
Stared at by Gu Junze's cold gaze, the fear of death gripped him.
The county magistrate suddenly kowtowed, tears streaming down his face: "General, please spare my life! General, please spare my life!"
"Your subordinate... Your subordinate was forced to do this! It was... It was the people above who forced me to do this! The benefits... The majority of the benefits were taken away by the people above!"
"I'm just a pawn running errands! Please spare my life, General!"
He spoke incoherently, but gritted his teeth and dared not reveal who the "people above" were.
Gu Junze's eyes turned cold, and he understood in his heart that this matter seemed to have far-reaching implications.
"Take him away! Keep him under strict guard. No one is allowed to visit him without my order! If he dies or escapes, you will bring his head to me!"
"yes!"
The soldiers immediately dragged the limp county magistrate away.
After dealing with the county magistrate, Gu Junze immediately took Gu Cheng'an back to the capital.
General's Mansion.
Chu Ruohan didn't sleep all night and was upset because of Yun Ge'er's departure.
When he saw Gu Junze appear at the door, exhausted, his heart, which had been hanging in the air all night, finally fell heavily back into his chest.
"Jun Ze!"
She walked quickly forward, looked Gu Junze up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was safe and sound.
Then she saw Gu Cheng'an's injured arm, and her brows immediately frowned.
"Are you hurt?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine, just a minor injury."
Gu Chengan forced a smile.
Gu Junze supported Gu Cheng'an and said softly to Chu Ruohan, "Han'er, don't worry, it has been taken care of. Let's ask Doctor Qian to come over and take another look."
Soon, Doctor Qian was called over, who carefully examined Gu Cheng'an's wound and re-bandaged it.
"The wound is quite deep, but fortunately no bones or muscles are injured. He will be fine after some rest."
After treating Gu Cheng'an, Doctor Qian took Chu Ruohan's pulse as usual. During this feeling, his originally relaxed brows gradually tightened and his expression became serious.
"lady,"
Doctor Qian withdrew his hand and gave a serious warning.
"You're getting heavier and heavier, and you're getting older. Remember! Don't worry too much, and don't let your emotions fluctuate too much!"
"Otherwise, if the Qi and blood stagnate, it will not only be detrimental to the fetus in the womb, but during childbirth, I'm afraid... I'm afraid there will be danger!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Junze's face suddenly changed and his heart suddenly tightened!
He immediately stepped forward and held Chu Ruohan's slightly cold hand tightly, his eyes filled with fear and deep concern.
"Ruohan, did you hear me? Stop letting your imagination run wild. I'll take care of everything!"
Chu Ruohan felt the warmth in his palm and the nervousness in his tone, her heart warmed, and she nodded.
Gu Cheng'an was lying on the bed, watching this scene.
Looking at the undisguised nervousness and tenderness on the eldest brother's face when he looked at Chu Ruohan.
Look at the care and tacit understanding that flows naturally between them.
An indescribable bitterness surged into my heart.
He clearly understood that this emotion was wrong and shameful.
But he just couldn't help being jealous, jealous that his elder brother could have all this, the woman he once missed and could only look up to now.
