C26 The General Was Completely Enjoying Himself

When she was suddenly stopped, the hand that Yun Shu was holding onto Pei Hongqing trembled uncontrollably. Pei Hongqing lightly patted her hand and led her to turn around to look at the registered soldier. With a shaky voice, he asked, "Uncle Soldier, are you still not done asking?"

The registered soldier glanced at them and said, "I remember that Sang Shi's pharmacy is close to the south gate, how did you guys come in from the east gate? Logically speaking, you should have walked much less in the south gate, right?"

Pei Hongqing said, "We had originally planned to enter through the South Gate, but the boatsman said that we would have to pay twice as much for the boat. Since we don't have much money, we could only disembark at the east gate's pier."

When the other party heard this answer, he only sized them up once before waving his hand at them, "Go in."

After successfully entering the city, the hand that had been wrapped around Pei Hongqing's hand finally moved away. However, what frightened her the most was that the moment the warmth from Pei Hongqing's palm dissipated on the back of her hand, she actually felt a little disappointed. Realizing this, she bit her lower lip and forced herself to forget what she had just felt.

When the two of them found Sang Ji's medicine store, a young man in his early twenties was closing the door. Pei Hongqing deliberately raised her voice and coughed twice. Only then did the young man turn around and look at them, "Eh?"

A moment later, he moved aside with the board in his hand, allowing them to enter the shop.

The young man closed the door and led them to the backyard. The small courtyard was covered with all sorts of herbs. The young man opened the back door to take a look before carefully closing it. Then, he turned around and pushed open one of the doors. "Come in."

Pei Hongqing straightened his back and walked into the room. He put the cane aside and said, "I did not expect to see you for so many years, and my face is painted in such a manner. You should be able to recognize me."

"Because the general's eyes are too unforgettable. When I was selected as his spy, I was shocked by the general's eyes." The young man calmly replied as he boiled tea in the small stove. He could not imagine how he had been frightened by Pei Hongqing's gaze.

Pei Hongqing smiled as he sat behind the table and introduced the two of them, "This is Sang Ye. Five years ago, in order to replace the scout from before, he came to the Tiger's Fury. "This is my officer, Yin Yun. At his age, his archery skills are exceptional."

Hearing this, Sang Ye suddenly laughed. He looked at her with a smile in his eyes. "If the general hadn't explained that this person next to him is a soldier from the military, I would have thought that the general finally had a girl by his side." If there's a chance, I really want to test out my archery skills against Brother Yan. Unfortunately, I don't have anything here. " The following words were said to Yun Shu.

Yun Shu smiled but did not say anything. Pei Hongqing smiled and said, "When an army enters and is enraged, it should be enough. Speaking of which, has there been any change in the city recently? "

Sang Ye frowned slightly, as if he was recalling something. After a moment, he replied, "Other than checking in and out of the city more strictly, it doesn't seem any different from usual. The reason why the General took the risk to enter Tigerrage City this time round is to get to know the military defenses of the city? "

Pei Hongqing nodded and said, "You will contact the rest of the people in the city tomorrow. I want the most comprehensive information possible."

"I will go first thing in the morning. It's too late now. General and Brother Yin probably haven't eaten dinner yet, so why don't I go and cook dinner for the General and Brother Yin? "

"Sure." Pei Hongqing laughed, "I still remember your cooking skills in the army when you were grilling fish. The fragrance of the grilled fish is really unforgettable. However, don't call me general after that. When Yin Yun and I registered at the city gate, we used your two identities of Third Aunt and Cousin Sister in Little Leaf City to call each other. " With that, General Pei hooked his fingers at Sang Ye, who was about to open the door and go cook in the kitchen.

Sang Ye almost tripped on the doorstep. He held on to the doorframe for support before calling out to Pei Hongqing obediently, "Third Aunt."

Pei Hongqing's face immediately lit up with joy, "Aiyo, our Little Ye is so obedient. Hurry up and cook. If you need any help, you can call your cousin over anytime." She waved at him with a smile.

Yun Shu who had witnessed the entire process: "…" Indeed, General Pei enjoyed the role he was playing … He was completely enjoying it.

Sang Ye hurried out of the room. "No need, I'm fine by myself."

"Cousin, let me help you add firewood. I still know how to do that." Yun Shu revealed a self-aware, very friendly and gentle smile.

However, when Sang Ye thought about how the "girl" in front of him was actually a man, he felt that the smile was getting weirder and weirder. The smile on his face gradually turned into a wry smile.

Since there were only two rooms in the backyard, she had to share a room with Pei Hongqing during the night break. After turning on the light in the guest room, she looked at the only bed in the room and Pei Hongqing, who was washing her face with hot water, before pulling Sang Ye to the side. "Brother Sang, do you have any blankets?"

However, the room was too small. Even though she tried her best to keep her voice down, Pei Hongqing still heard her. He then picked up the handkerchief that had just been placed on his face and turned to look at them, "Brother Sang, please call me cousin."

Yun Shu, "…"

Sang Ye forced a few dry laughs at General Pei, who was seriously correcting the issue of addressing him as "General", before turning to look at Yun Shu, "The night is already cold, sleeping on the ground is not good for your health. If you worry about Big …"

Pei Hongqing looked at Sang Ye and said, "If you're worried that Third Aunt will mind sleeping with you, you can come with me to the next room to rest."

Yun Shu wanted to cry but had no tears. Did it make any difference to her?

Before she could think of an excuse to avoid sleeping in the same bed as them, Pei Hongqing walked over and covered her face with the handkerchief she had just washed in hot water. "I don't mind. My granddaughter shouldn't mind sharing the bed with an old man like me, right? "

After Pei Hongqing said this, she wanted to cry even more, "... "Yes." How nice to call her granddaughter. Why was General Pei always thinking of taking advantage of her when it came to seniority? However, what troubled her the most was the issue of sleeping in the same bed as a man. However, the current situation did not seem to be of her choosing.

As she lay on the bed, she felt her entire body stiffen. There was a wall on the inside of the bed and Pei Hongqing was lying on the outside. The only thing she was glad of was that they weren't sharing the same bed.

Since she had already boarded the 'pirate ship', she had no choice but to close her eyes and sleep. In Pei Hongqing's eyes, she was only a subordinate that disguised herself as a woman. She would not suffer any losses … No, General Pei seemed to like men.

Thinking up to here, she really wanted to cry. If General Pei was really as worrying about his character as she had thought before and had any problems with his private life, then she might really be targeted and her identity would naturally … Thinking of this, she tiredly pulled the blanket up over her head.

"What are you doing?" Pei Hongqing's voice came from the darkness.

Yun Shu slightly lifted the blanket by a crack so that her eyes could see outside, and replied: "My head is cold."

Pei Hongqing stretched his hand out from under the blanket and touched her head, "Strange, my lovely granddaughter clearly has such thick hair, but why is her head so cold?"

Yun Shu resisted the urge to slap General Pei's hand away as the corner of her mouth twitched under her blanket. "Grandma, I'm talking about how cold my face is."

"Speak clearly. Come, let Grandma cover it up for you." As he spoke, Pei Hongqing's hand was about to land on her face.

Yun Shu quickly pulled down the blanket and covered her head once more. She even leaned against the wall through the mosquito net, "No … "No need!"

Pei Hongqing looked at his hand that was raised into the air and smiled, "You don't think I have anything against you do you? Don't worry, I don't like men. If the rumors outside are true, then I might have long ascended to the Immortal Realm and taken command of the heavenly soldiers according to the rumors. " With that, General Pei let out a regretful sigh, "Tell me, why have I yet to attain the Dao Ascension? Do I really have to meditate and cultivate?"

"My dad said." Yun Shu moved the blanket away from her head and turned to look at Pei Hongqing, who was standing beside her in the darkness. "A person whose hands are covered with blood does not have the qualifications to walk this path."

Her answer was extremely serious. Pei Hongqing looked at her eyes that still showed their sincerity in the darkness for a while and finally smiled. He then helped her to tuck her in, "If you can always be at peace with yourself, who would want your hands to be stained with blood? But the current situation was that if you didn't offend others today, others might offend you at any time. Go to sleep, it's very late. " With that, he pulled his hand back into the blanket, turned his head, and laid flat on his back with his eyes closed.

Yun Shu pulled the blanket that Pei Hongqing had tucked away closer to her. She stared at the side of his face for a good while before turning around to face the wall and closing her eyes.

So there are still men in this world who don't love blood and killing …
