C12 General Ra as a Shield

Just as Yun Zhui reached to grab a piece of clothing from the branch above his head, he heard the sound of a tree branch being trampled behind him. He hastily pulled the cloth over his body and quickly turned around. "Come out!"

Under the hazy moonlight, the shadows of the trees fluttered, but there was no movement where the sound came from. The sounds from before seemed to have been her imagination. She looked around warily, dressed quickly, carried the cat into the basin and walked in the direction she remembered, but the little guy's front paws came out of the basin and rested on her left forearm, which was leaning against the basin. He kept looking behind her and crying out one or two times.

Yun Shu lowered her head to look at the little fellow, and felt a chill down her spine. By the time she made up her mind to turn around, she did not see a single shadow.

Turning around, she slowly exhaled and gently pushed the little guy's head back into the basin. "Don't scare me again. We're both grasshoppers on the same rope now, do you know that?"

The little Fat Cat seemed to understand what she meant, and lifted its head to call out to her.

While carrying the basin, Yun Zhui walked out of the forest and stroked the long, white fur on the little fat cat's back. "Be good and you'll be home soon." However, just as she finished speaking, the sound of leaves being blown could be heard from the depths of the forest. There were three very short sounds, very similar to some sort of signal. Before she could react, the little guy in the basin had already jumped onto the ground and ran towards the depths of the forest.

"Eh …" She chased after him for a few steps, but soon, the little guy was nowhere to be seen. When he stopped, he vaguely saw a shadow flash by not too far away. However, after rubbing his eyes and looking again, there was nothing left. He could only turn around and leave, full of suspicion.

Hearing the sound of footsteps getting softer and softer, the person hiding in the tree finally flew down. When they landed on the ground, they stomped on the dried branches on the ground and the fat little cat in their arms lazily mewled. He patted the head of his little darling and glanced at the place where the man had left, then turned around and left with a frown on his face.

When he returned to his tent, Pei Hongqing was extinguishing the light on his table. "Why have you been gone so long?" He got up and went behind the screen to take off his coat.

Presumably, the other party was already lying on the bed with her blanket pulled over. She then walked behind the screen and extinguished the light beside Pei Hongqing's bed. "After all, it's been a few days since I last took a bath." Every day when she returned to the woodshed, the water jar next door was always only left with the water needed to wash the dishes, and the well in the Residence of Great Guardian was too far away from the kitchen.

"Yin Yun …" Seeing that someone was about to leave his bedside, Pei Hongqing stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist. However, in the next moment, the person who had thrown her off.

Pei Hongqing: "..."

The frightened Yun Shu raised her eyes and met his gaze. "…"

The torches the patrolling soldiers held made the inside of the tent turn orange. Not long after the two of them looked at each other, Yun Shu felt that the current situation and atmosphere was somewhat strange, so she quickly knelt on one knee, bowed her head and clasped her fists. "You have offended the great general just now, so please punish him. Even if the Great General were to sleep outside, he would not complain at all. "

Pei Hongqing stood up and used one hand to prop his head as he looked at Yun Shu who was kneeling down below him, "This general hasn't even said that he would punish you. Moreover, this is only a small matter. "However, I'm very curious. Why would a grown man be afraid of being touched? Don't tell me you …"

A hint of panic and unease flashed through Yun Shu's eyes for a moment. "It's just that I don't like others touching my hands, there's no other reason behind it."

Even though the flustered look on his face had disappeared in a flash, Pei Hong Qing still caught it and looked at her deeply, "That's good then. This general wants warriors who can go on stage and kill the enemy. As long as they don't mess around in the military camp, I will treat them equally. " He lay back down on the bed and put his hand over his eyes.

"Thank you, Great General." Yun Shu thought back to how he had called out to her with a heavy expression on his face, and asked, "May I ask if the great general has anything to say to stop her?"

Pei Hongqing removed the hand covering her eyes and looked at her for a moment. Then, he put his hand back down and said, "It's nothing. Hurry and rest."

The next day, Wu Ji had just arrived. Yun Shu had originally wanted to clean herself up as per usual, but she didn't expect that Pei Hongqing had already gotten out of bed and put on clothes. His thin undergarment was unable to cover up his strong and straight body, so she hurriedly covered her head as if she had seen something she couldn't bear to look at. She touched her face. According to her past experiences, the red mark on her face had most likely been erased by the rubbing of the pillow. To be safe, it was better for her to hide somewhere.

This action immediately attracted Pei Hongqing's attention. He looked down at the man who had suddenly wrapped himself in the quilt and wondered if he should take it off and ask the soldier if he had any objections. However, when his hand touched the quilt, he remembered the weird look on the other party's face when he said "there's no other secrets", so he gave up.

After she estimated that someone had already left the tent, she quickly put on her clothes and sneaked out of the tent with a basin behind her back and a wet handkerchief over her face. After washing her face, she took out the pill fat box and smeared a red mark on her face again. She lowered her head and took a few more shots of the water, feeling that the paint was almost done, and then got up from the weeds with the bowl. She didn't expect to meet Xu Jingda who was just finishing her pants after taking two steps, she quickly turned around and said, "Brother Xu, Brother Xu! Why don't you go to the latrine?! "

Xu Jingda was originally yawning with his eyes closed, but when he heard this familiar shout, he immediately woke up. He hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and then he remembered that the other party was also a man. What were you doing here, Brother Yun?

"I... A wounded sparrow flew into the general's tent. I just took it and set it free. " Yun Shu's tone was calm and collected. She couldn't possibly say that she had entered the underbrush to avoid being washed, right? Furthermore, Xu Jindan couldn't possibly ask Pei Hongqing if there was a wounded sparrow that had flown into the tent. Thinking of this, she became confident, "Brother Xu, why do you want to break the rules here? Don't you have a latrine?"

Xu Jingda smiled embarrassedly. "The latrine has been beaten to it by those people. There are people who are in a hurry, so I can't hold it in any longer …"

Yunshu: "... I'll go get breakfast first. With that, he quickly ran away.

When they returned to the general's tent, Pei Hongqing was getting up from behind his desk and was about to leave when he saw her. He waved at her and said, "Xiyin Yun, you ran away as soon as you turned around. This general has been waiting for you for so long, where have you been? You're so secretive, don't tell me you have some unspeakable secrets? "

As soon as he realized it, he remembered Xu Jingda's words. "I just got busy in the latrine. There are three people who are in a hurry …"

Pei Hongqing was skeptical. He took his sword and said, "Come with me to the shooting-range."

Along the way, Yun Shu was still doubtful about who would be chosen so quickly, but when they arrived at the shooting-range, she roughly knew what was going on. Although they were all from the mounted archers, they were generally just recently selected, and their archery skills were also of the lower tier in the entire mounted archery team. There was no need to choose, she could just directly give her a batch of people who had just entered the Uighurs' camp to her.

Letting her, a recruit, lead such a team to the front made it even harder for Yun Shu to express herself. "Great General, this …"

Pei Hongqing said, "Actually, they are the same as you. After training for a while, they have improved a lot, so you don't have to worry about their combat abilities." He patted her on the shoulder.

Yun Zhui nodded. However, the more he thought about it, the more worried he became that he might have already fallen into the hole that Pei Hongqing had dug.

Yan Xu, who was giving a lecture to the selected soldiers, turned his head and saw the two people entering the range. He walked towards them and asked, "Hongqing, you told me to divide the shooting squad into two teams. Is the new captain of this team Yin Yun?"

Pei Hongqing nodded and said, "Bring him over to get to know them."

Yan Xu brought Yin Yun to the people who were waiting in a neat row and said, "Everyone, Yin Yun will be the captain of our team for the next few days, leading everyone to carry out the missions on the front lines."

Yun Shu gritted her teeth as she clenched her hands behind her back, trying her best to act like the hundred or so people in front of her were cabbages.

However, immediately after, Chinese cabbage raised his hand. "General Yan!" "I have a question for you, Captain Yin."

Yan Xu glanced at Yun Shu. Seeing that she did not express anything, he turned to look at the person who had raised his hand. "Step forward."

That person walked out of the queue and stood only a step away from Yun Shu. When she clearly saw that person's appearance, Yun Shu couldn't help but be stunned — — How did Wang Kuo get selected as well? She looked towards the place where Wang Kuo had stood just before he left the line, and indeed, she saw a person with a figure similar to Chou Hu standing next to him.

This could be considered as a narrow path between enemies … Yun Shu thought.

Yan Xu said, "If you have something to ask, ask quickly."

Wang Kuo said arrogantly, "I would like to ask Captain Yin if you have participated in the previous selection before."

Yun Shu bit her lip. "I haven't."

Wang Kuo sneered, turned around and said to the crowd, "The brothers that are standing here have all passed through the strict rules and regulations of the competition before coming to the Upanishads, Captain Yin hasn't even participated in the selection, what qualifications do they have to enter the shooting squad, to be the captain of our team?"

Yun Shu subconsciously looked towards Pei Hongqing, who was standing near the shooting-range and observing their movements, and discovered that the other party seemed to only want to watch from the sidelines, and couldn't help but nervously pinch the fingers on his back: "As everyone knows, the soldiers of the Moyu Alliance are all elites chosen from a hundred thousand miles out of a hundred. Although for some special reason I wasn't able to participate in the selection competition, but the fact that I defeated this brave warrior named Wang Kuo is also a fact that everyone knows, and at that time the Great General and General Yan were also present at the shooting-range. If the selection process was limited to the preliminaries, then wouldn't the general, who was always praised by the common folk for his brilliance and prowess, be the incompetent general who had lost countless talents? If the Great General does not understand the ways of man, how can he always win? "

All of the soldiers in the formation broke out into a flurry of discussion. Pei Hongqing, who was standing in the corner, smiled when he heard Yun Shu's unsatisfactory reply.

Who would have thought that this brat was still so anxious at this time.
