"How dare you! What do you think you're doing?"
"Give me a steamed bun!"
"I won't give it to you, what can you do about it? Let me tell you, if you threaten me like this, you're in trouble. I hereby declare that you will not get breakfast from now on, even if you come on time!" He looked at him smugly.
Zhou Tianqi didn't waste words with him, grabbed his collar with one hand and placed the other on his face.
The man was still unaware of what was going to happen.
"Snap!"
His expression froze; his head had already been broken off by Zhou Tianqi.
Zhou Tianqi lifted the lid of the steamer; it was mostly empty.
Fortunately, there were still some left in the last cage, and there was some white porridge in the bucket next to it.
"Come and eat!"
With a steamed bun stuffed in his mouth, Zhou Tianqi pulled out a bowl from somewhere, scooped up a bowl of white porridge, and squatted down by the porridge bucket to drink it in big gulps.
Everyone let loose and started eating the congee right away.
"What are you guys doing here? Do you have any steamed buns left?"
"By the way, are there any steamed buns left?"
"The general told us to come and get breakfast!"
Shen Jiaojiao and the others were busy eating, and no one paid any attention to him.
The man walked forward, dissatisfied, and saw that there was no food left.
Zhou Tianqi stuffed the last steamed bun into his mouth and then shoved a bowl of white porridge into his hand.
He put the bowl to his lips and slurped it down in one go.
"Are you deaf? I just said I was going to give the general breakfast, didn't you hear me? I saw that the last steamed bun was eaten by you!"
Zhou Tianqi ignored him. He just stood by the porridge bucket, drinking the bowl as if it were water.
The ladle used to scoop porridge was being tossed around and flew through the air, one bowl after another.
The soldier was dumbfounded: "Are you a glutton? Even pigs can't eat as much as you!"
Only after he scooped out the last mouthful of porridge from the bucket did he put down the bowl and take a proper look at the soldier.
"What do you want?"
"You! You're driving me crazy! Are you deaf? I just said the general wanted breakfast, and now look what happened! You've even finished the porridge! How am I supposed to reply to him?! It's all your fault for eating so much!"
He looked indignant.
Damn it, I was just running errands, and now I might even get yelled at!
Zhou Tianqi was just wondering where to find the general, and now the other party has delivered himself right to his doorstep.
"Take me to the general, and I'll speak to him myself!"
Upon hearing this, the man's face lit up with a smile, "Great, I'll go myself!"
Let's just shift the blame to him; he was the one who finished the last bite anyway.
He ate so much, he deserves some punishment.
"Okay, follow me!" I said, afraid that if I was too late, the other party would change their mind.
The soldier walked at the very front.
He didn't even notice that besides Zhou Tianqi, there were other people who had been eating around him following behind him.
It wasn't that Shen Jiaojiao and her group weren't seen in the military camp.
Rather, they were too calm, swaggering around the military camp.
Moreover, the person leading the way was none other than Zhang, the bodyguard who usually accompanied the general.
Judging from their direction, these people seem to be heading towards the general's tent.
So this must be the person the general wants to see.
Everyone quickly came up with a reasonable explanation in their minds without giving it much thought.
He passed right past a group of soldiers and arrived safely at his destination.
Guard Zhang paused at the general's door for a moment: "Reporting to the general, I went to get some food just now and found that this glutton had finished the last of the food, so I brought him here for you!"
He didn't want to go in, afraid he'd see something he shouldn't.
Moreover, he worried that the general might take his anger out on him if he became unhappy.
It would be best if the general let this unfortunate fellow go in on his own.
"Useless thing! Get in here!"
Sure enough, a furious voice came from inside.
Upon hearing the word "come in," Guard Zhang's mind raced, and he said to Zhou Tianqi, "The general has called you in. Say as little as you should. The more you say, the more mistakes you make; the less you say, the fewer mistakes you make."
"If the general has any complaints, just admit them. At most, he'll give you a few lashes; he won't kill you."
"Just bear with it!"
Guard Zhang whispered to Zhou Tianqi, practically saying: "If anything happens, you handle it and don't drag me down with you!"
After saying that, he pushed Zhou Tianqi from behind with his hand, successfully pushing him inside.
Thinking he had successfully shifted the blame, he turned around smugly, intending to quickly find something to do and leave, returning only after the general had finished venting his anger.
Little did he know that when he turned around, he would see twenty or thirty people surrounding him.
He dared not speak loudly, his eyes narrowing.
Before he could speak, Chu Tianling grabbed his arm and pushed him inside, shoving him into the tent.
Zhou Tianling and Shen Jiaojiao followed them into the tent, and the people behind them immediately separated and formed a circle around the tent.
Zhou Tianqi was pushed inside but did not kneel; he calmly looked at the man inside the tent.
Inside the tent were not only men, but also a woman who was fast asleep, her face obscured.
"Who are you?" General Zhang was so angry that his beard twitched as he was fuming because he hadn't had breakfast.
Zhou Tianqi asked, "Are you the highest-ranking official here?"
"Who are you, and what do you want?" he asked warily.
Zhou Tianqi stepped forward and slapped him hard across the face.
General Zhang had worked tirelessly all night and was completely exhausted. He felt as if this slap weighed a ton.
He was completely thrown off balance and knocked to the ground.
He pressed one hand to his face, felt something in his mouth, and opened his mouth wide.
Good heavens, a large tooth, covered in blood, was knocked out.
He just spat out a mouthful of blood.
The next second, quickly pick up the tooth from the bloody water, ignoring the blood on it, and quickly use your hands to manually press the tooth back into its original position.
