C7 In the End in Which Aspect Was He Inferior?
Fortunately, Fang Xuanming had already sealed the city once he discovered that the map had been stolen. Otherwise, even if Yan Xu and the soldiers he had brought along to search for him ran away with their legs broken, they might not have been able to find any traces of the spies.
However, even if he was only searching for people in River County, it would still be a time-consuming and arduous task. Moreover, he also needed to arrange a new set of defenses in the County.
Yan Xu couldn't understand why General Pei would send him on such a difficult task. Even if he had said a few good words for Yin Yun, he shouldn't have ended up like this. Vice General Yan could not figure it out. As he was scratching his head and walking towards a dilapidated temple by the side of the road, a black shadow rushed out from inside like a gust of wind. Yan Xu immediately reacted and chased after it.
But when they reached the large expanse of woodland near the city gate, the black figure disappeared from his sight, and the camp they had just made was just outside the forest.
Yan Xu quickly ran over to ask the soldiers stationed at the entrance and exit of the camp, who all told him that no one was suspicious of entering the camp. Yan Xu took a glance at the dense forest behind, "If you see anyone suspicious later, report it to Guard Zhan." After instructing the soldiers on duty, he headed into the forest.
Yunshu had originally thought that he would have a very boring day, but not long after Meng Guangwei left, the Zhan Clan's Protector who had been following by Pei Hongqing's side arrived. It was said that he had come on the orders of the great general to monitor her.
Yun Shu was already in "prison" and did not have much of an opinion on whether she should still be watched. She could only rejoice that it was not General Pei himself who had condescended to monitor her, a person who might have been a spy.
"But think about it, it's impossible for him to come either."
Zhan Bai obviously heard her mutter under his breath. He then turned around and coldly glared at her. "Who did you say would come?"
Yun Shu only felt that her eyes staring at her was familiar. In the next second, she remembered that she had seen a similar look in General Pei's eyes just two hours ago and immediately felt a chill down her spine. Why did even someone's guard be able to use such a terrifying gaze?
Thinking up to here, Yun Shu raised her hand to rub her chin a few times. This is what mister often says, isn't it?
"I'm asking you a question! Are you talking about your accomplices? " Yun Shu did not answer for a long time, so Guard Captain Zhan was a little angry. The sword that was still in its sheath was thrust through the gap of the carriage and placed across her neck.
After glancing at her, Yun Zhui realized that the scabbard was resting on her shoulder, and let out a sigh of relief. "Guard Zhan, I don't have any accomplices." On the other hand, you, suddenly reaching out your sword, I thought my brain wouldn't be able to protect itself anymore, and that scares people to death. "If you scare an innocent soldier to death, and your family's general isn't a stone-hearted person, it's very possible that he'll be carrying a broom and go to my mother, who has just met, to beg for forgiveness. At that time, my loving mother will definitely do everything in her power to torture your family's general to death."
"So for the sake of your family's great general, can you not scare me like this, Mr. Zhan?" After she finished, Yun Shu looked at him with pleading eyes with incomparable sincerity.
The letter stared at her for a long time before finally letting out a cold snort and putting the sword away. It turned its back on her, as if it no longer intended to listen to her nonsense.
However, there were some people who were born to be despicable. In some ways, Yun Shu was such a person. Now that Zhan Xin seemed to not want to bother with her, he started to provoke her and purposely moved a distance away from her. "Guard Zhan Wei, it seems like you've been by the Great General's side for a long time. Why don't I ask you something?"
Zhan Xin frowned. "…"
Seeing that the other person didn't even bother to answer her, Yun Zhui continued, "You know that a normal person is curious about everything, don't you? Guard Zhan, do you think you can satisfy my curiosity just because I'm still breathing?"
Zhan Chen turned his head to look at her suspiciously before turning his head back. "I can't even say half a word about anything that is detrimental to the general."
Yun Shu nodded: "How could I ask you about that? Actually, I just want to ask, since the Great General is twenty and four years old this year, does the reason for him not getting married yet have something to do with you, Vice Guard Zhan? "
The letter was unclear, but his expression was still tense as he replied, "The general set down the rules for me to compete with those girls. They are the ones who are weaker than me."
Yun Zhuang had been planning on how he would tease Qin Lie, but he didn't expect such an imaginative response.
His skills were inferior to others? In what way was he inferior?
Yun Shu looked at Zhan Xin's hands, which were clearly wider than a woman's, and thought that the head guard wouldn't win against those girls in such meticulous work.
After eliminating this point, she recalled the rumours about Pei Hongqing liking men. A scene that was not suitable for a child to watch flashed through her mind, causing her to almost fall head first into the carriage. She deliberately cleared her throat to drive away the thoughts in her head, "Actually, this cannot be blamed on those women whose skills are inferior. As she spoke till the end, Yun Shu's voice became even softer. Only after she finished speaking did she realize that she shouldn't have continued on this topic.
There was disgrace, there was disgrace.
However, what she didn't expect was that her words caused a strong dissatisfaction from the Guard Captain, "If that kind of thing can't be done, then it's impossible for the other party to release the water."
What? Go easy?!
Had she heard something extraordinary from the captain of the guard? What kind of strange topic had she started … However, General Pei seemed to be righteous and proper, he did not expect his private life to be so messy. Not only did he like to make things difficult for his close bodyguards, but he also liked to make things difficult for them. How many people would be frightened to death if word of this spread? No wonder his relationship with this great general wasn't that good.
Who would like to be intimate with someone whose style of life is seriously problematic? Thinking about it this way, Wind Review, which was not very good today, didn't seem to be that annoying anymore.
"Guard Captain Zhan, then have you never thought of finding a girl to get married to or something? "Actually, there should be many ladies who like your appearance …" If he stayed by the side of such a master, sooner or later, he would suffer miserably. Although Yun Shu had always felt that the words "rather break ten temples than destroy a single marriage" was very reasonable, but if the other party was General Pei, who had serious problems in his private life, she really couldn't bear to see this tall, straight, and handsome Guard Captain stay in the fire pit.
"My life was saved by the general. I won't think about anything else until the general doesn't need me."
Crap, it's over. Pei Hongqing was going to destroy the dream lover of a large group of young mistresses. General Pei was a sinner.
Just as she was about to lament over the fact that Guard Zhan couldn't see a single ray of light from the road ahead, Pei Hongqing's voice came from the side. "These questions of yours are not what normal people would be interested in. As far as I know, that's the reason why Aunt and Aunt in the neighborhood are so happy to talk about such trivial things."
Seeing that the main character was walking over, Yun Shu immediately lost her interest in chatting. He pursed his lips and asked, "What does the general mean?"
"The meaning behind your words is …" Why do you also like to ask about things that the long-tongued woman likes to ask about? I never thought that the young noble of the Yin family, who has been separated for so many years, would have such a unique hobby. " With these words, Pei Hongqing strolled over to her. Yun Shu thought of what she had said in her previous letter and hurriedly moved back a distance.
Pei Hongqing narrowed his almond-shaped eyes and asked, "Are you afraid of me?"
Yun Shu's face was filled with determination, "Reporting to the great general! It's been sitting here for a long time, but it's not listening to me. " Nonsense, who's not afraid? Right now, she was afraid that the closer she got, the more she would be infected by General Pei's strange illness. When she recalled that Pei Hongqing had previously held her by the collar, she felt even more uncomfortable.
Why was her commanding officer such an unscrupulous general... Yun Shu instantly felt that it took her eight lifetimes of bad luck to encounter such a series of unpleasant things after arriving in Chang An City.
