Chapter 74 - My little witch, I already accepted your request (1/2)

When Wu Qiuyue finds out that Mo Wei left her on her own, she was elated. When she heard that Li Jun has immobilized his army to look for her, she feels her heart shattering into pieces.

At night, the capital is awake due to the chaos caused by General Li's army. The fifth prince and his wife are also awake. Wu Yixing is too busy seeding the fertile ground. He couldn't care less if the city gets drowned in the fire.

Li Jun, after finding out that Mo Wei had left after saying goodbye Mo Qian, immobilizes his army to look for his second concubine dressed like a man and wandering the capital at night. Nobody knew about the existence of General Li's second wife. Li Jun also never acted like this for a woman before. The emperor's sleep is disturbed. Curious to see this woman who can steal Li Jun's rationality, the emperor also commands his people to look for a runaway concubine everywhere.

The capital is turned upside down until Mo Wei is found in a cart on the road going out of the capital at dawn.

”She's here!” I open my eyes when I hear a shout. Someone grabs my arm and drags me out of the cart. There are numerous soldiers surrounding the cart. Before I can ask any question, my hands are being tied.

”Hey!” I glare at him. ”What are you doing?”

They don't answer me. I try to fight. I kick them. I bite them. I do everything in my power to escape their clutches. Why don't I have super strength? All freaking immortals have some superpowers. Instead, my superpowers are inactivated. What kind of justice is this?

Someone ties my legs and wraps a cloth around my face. I can't see anything. I scream at them. ”You bastard! Are you soldiers? At least, tell my crime before taking me to prison.”

Nobody answers me. Someone shoves me into a carriage. I hear the sound of the door locking. The carriage is already running.

What the hell! Am I being abducted during my escape? Why though? I think of a million reasons. Witch-hunting? Weren't witches burned in old times? Wait, that was a different era. Timekeepers? That timekeeper must have used this opportunity to get rid of me.

I roll on the floor of the carriage. I hit something hard. ”$#!%! Why cover my face? I didn't kill anyone.”

After a long time, the carriage finally stops. I hold my breath. What lies outside of this? The timekeeper's den? I can't think of any other enemy.

Someone pulls me out. I hear gasps. The rope around my feet is untied by someone. I am pushed to walk ahead. I am not going down without a fight. That timekeeper is a big liar. He said that he would play the game fairly.

I feel a chill running down my spine. The black cloth covering my head is removed. I find myself sitting on my knees right in front of Li jun.

The way he is looking at me reminds me of the first time I met him on the battlefield. He is watching me with the same cold emotionless eyes when he placed the sword against my throat. I know for sure that the timekeeper is not currently active.

Is he offended because I left without saying goodbye? Was it because of the nonconsensual kiss? I wreck my brain and think about the times I have offended him. He's a real freaking General after all. How did I forget that fact?

I can't die. He already knows that. Then, how he is going to kill me?

Li Jun looks at the men beside me. ”200 lashes for all the men who have touched her.”
