C43 Soldier Symbol
She helped Pei Hongqing into the inn, took out a silver ingot from her bag and ordered three rooms, the three of them went into one of the rooms, and after the waiter brought the dishes into the room and closed the door, the black mask man pulled up his collar and sat on a stool beside Pei Hongqing, "If it weren't for the drawing on the letter, I would have definitely recognized the general and the Yin family's boy. I must have suffered a lot from this bumpy situation."
Old Zheng, the boy from the Yin family … Yun Shu was momentarily enlightened. Who else could the black-masked man be other than General Zheng Guanshan?
Yun Shu poured tea for the two of them. "Why would General Zheng personally come to deliver this?
"Naturally, I have to personally deliver the important items to the general." Just as Zheng Guansan finished speaking, Pei Hongqing took out the black sandalwood box from before, opened the lid and pushed it in front of Yun Shu.
She finally understood what was so important about this token. "This token belongs to the Tiger's Fury City?" The word "Tiger" was engraved on the back of the "Tiger Tally" in the box. She immediately thought of the tiger's rage.
Zheng Guansan put down the cup of tea he had just taken a sip and nodded, "Yes, it is the retainer that Jia Daoping sent last time. General, what do you plan to do?"
Logically speaking, it should have been a great thing for a certain Mayor of Dazhou City to hand over a military talisman, which meant that the mayor was unable to mobilize the city guards to fight against the people who had entered the city. However, the timing of the arrival of the military talisman was rather strange.
After the meal, Pei Hongqing decided to lock himself in his room and decide whether or not he should enter the city again on the appointed day. As for Yunshu, he was led to the next room by Zheng Guansan and asked to tell him the reason why they had left the city.
After listening to Yun Shu's words, Zheng Guansan wrinkled his thick eyebrows and rubbed his chin, "This is truly difficult. If you had me make this choice, Old Zheng would rather die on the battlefield, but General will definitely make the best choice."
The warm tea in Yun Zhui's mouth almost burst out because of what he said next. Just how much did General Zheng admire General Pei to be able to say such words …
The more time she spent with Pei Hongqing, the more she felt that the praised General Pei was just an ordinary person. Other than having a good face and leading troops to war, it was difficult for her to find any other advantages.
In order to avoid hearing the praises from Zheng Guansan, she immediately changed the subject. "General Zheng shaved and suntanned his face, but I don't know him very well. However, in the past few days, why did General Zheng get so suntanned?" The sun of the Golden Crow shouldn't be shining, right? "
"How could it be sunburned? It's all thanks to the Black Jade Ointment that the general brought back from his travels in the western countries. He said it was for some black or something, but the general also brought it with him. Don't you know?" After touching his smooth chin, he was stunned for a moment, "In the past, in order to conceal his identity, the General would use black jade paste to wipe his face and put on a fake beard. This time, he is actually pretending to be an old lady."
The corner of Yun Shu's mouth twitched. Why did Pei Hongqing have to choose such a difficult disguise and ask her to disguise as a woman … Even if you put on a fake beard, you can still disguise it well enough.
As she thought of this, she recalled the words that Pei Hongqing had asked her back at the Golden Crow Inn.
[You aren't really a woman, are you?]
Yun Shu, "…" Pei Hongqing couldn't have suspected her identity a long time ago …
After Yun Shu left Zheng Guansan's room, she went directly to the other side of Pei Hongqing's room. She did not expect to see Pei Hongqing, who was drinking tea behind a table in the middle of the room, the moment she opened the door.
Seeing her frozen at the door, she raised her head to say something to her, but before she could speak, Yun Shu hastily pulled the door shut: "Sorry, we entered the wrong room."
However, when she raised her head to look at the room numbers, she realized that Pei Hongqing's room should be right next to the one she had just opened, which was between this room and Zheng Guansan's room …
"Come in!" Pei Hongqing's voice rang out from behind the closed door. However, there seemed to be a hint of a smile in his voice.
She then pushed open the door and closed it behind her. "Why has the general come to this room?"
"I originally wanted to take a short nap in my room, but no matter what, I couldn't fall asleep. I was wondering if I had gotten used to sleeping with others these past few days, so I came over." As General Pei spoke, his smiling almond-shaped eyes were fixed on her.
"If the general wishes to find someone to sleep with him, then this subordinate believes that General Zheng will be very happy." She thought her face was probably redder than the sunset glow.
Hearing her words, the smile in Pei Hongqing's eyes deepened. "Forget it, I shouldn't joke with you like this. Actually, I have something that I need your help with. Sit down first. "
She walked to the opposite side of Pei Hongqing and sat down. Seeing that she had intentionally chosen a place far away from him, Pei Hongqing immediately smiled and said, "Why are you sitting so far away? Are you afraid that I'll eat you up?"
Yun Zhui shook his head and had no choice but to move closer to Pei Hongqing. Seeing that she was unwilling, Pei Hong Qing waved her hand and said, "Don't move. Just sit there."
Yun Shu nodded as if a burden had been lifted from her shoulders. "General, why have you come to find me?"
"Two days later, I will enter the Tiger's Fury as promised."
Yun Shu felt slightly surprised, but after some surprise, she began to worry. "But I'm afraid that Sang Ye and the others are no longer in the city." Sang Ye and the others had left through the southern gate, which meant that they were probably already on board. If Pei Hongqing entered the city again, there would be no one left to support him. If something were to happen …
"It's alright, as long as you wait outside the city. If I enter safely, I will release a signal flare every night. This inn is not too far from the Jia manor, so I should be able to see the signal that was released from the Jia manor." "If it's too late, no signal has been released..." He got up and went to the window and pushed it open. The residential streets of the Tiger's Fury immediately appeared before his eyes.
Yun Shu also stood up and walked to his side, but she heard him continue, "You and General Zheng go back first, everything will be done according to the plan I left behind."
She could not help but be taken aback. "This subordinate understands."
"Yes." Pei Hongqing turned around and looked at her with a hesitant expression. In the end, he frowned and said, "In the future …" Protect yourself well, and don't listen to anything your boss says. If you lose your life, you'll lose everything … I'm going back to my room. You should get some rest, you got up too early this morning. "
Yun Zhui nodded.
After Pei Hongqing left, she closed the door and took off her shoes and socks before lying down on the bed.
In the past few days in the city, Hu Nu had been in a state of high stress and sleep had been a luxury, but now that they were safely outside of Hu Nu, they could return to the land occupied by the Yan Army in another four to six hours.
However, she did not fall asleep that easily. Instead, she felt uneasy after hearing Pei Hongqing's words of concern before she left.
This feeling of unease intensified the moment Pei Hongqing changed into a plain white male attire and left the inn with the military talisman. She and Zheng Guansan stood in the crowd, watching anxiously as Pei Hongqing got into the carriage sent by the Jia Residence to pick him up at the city gates.
However, the worry in Zheng Guansan's eyes was much less than hers. He probably thought that Pei Hongqing was a trustworthy superior …
When the night was over, Cloud, who had slept all afternoon to keep herself awake, got up from her quilt, dressed and ate her supper, put on a coat, and opened the window to wait by the window.
Perhaps he had gotten used to staying with Pei Hongqing for the past few days, but now that there were only a few people around him, he felt somewhat lonely. She stood for a moment, and then began to pace up and down by the window, each step as if trying to suppress the tension in her heart.
The tension was no less than the first time she had aimed an arrow at an apple on a manservant's head. The wind outside the window made her fingers go cold, but she didn't see any signs of signal bombs in the city.
The dark clouds cast a layer of haze over the bright moonlight. Even when the gaffer was playing the fourth update downstairs, there was still no movement from inside the city. His heart felt as if it was gripped by an ice-cold fingertip, and a faint pain spread through his body.
She was somewhat unwilling to continue guarding the window. Not long after, the sounds of roosters crowing could be heard from all around. Lights began to light up in the quiet and quiet Tiger's Fury. However, she did not wait for the fire that would make her feel at ease.
Will it be okay... She suppressed her anxiety and prayed.
She calmly packed her bag and walked out of the room. She then opened the door of Pei Hongqing's room next door and hung his bag and bag on her shoulder. She was about to go out and call Zheng Guansan to leave when she bumped into him.
"Let me check to see if the general is back. There were no signals released in the city last night …"
"He didn't come back …" "The general said that if no signal detonator is released, we will return first."
"Something must have happened to the general. I'll go in and find him." Zheng Guansan turned around and walked down the stairs while holding onto the railing. The sound of coming down startled the waiter who was dozing behind the counter. "Esteemed customer, it's still so early. Where are you going?"
Zheng Guansan urged, "Quickly open the door!"
Yun Shu quickly chased after him and followed him out of the inn, but no matter what, she could not pull back the raging Barbaric Ox. In the end, she let go of his hand as if she was giving up, and said in a low voice, "If you think you can bring him out, then you might not even know where he is and cause him trouble. Is this your trust? If you really believe him, then you should go back as he says, and not be as stubborn as you are now. "
Perhaps her words had really taken effect, Zheng Guansan's foot that was moving forward finally withdrew. He turned to look at her. "You're right," he said.
The return trip was not as painful as the trip back home – perhaps it was because she couldn't care less about being seasick or not being seasick …
