Even if you rush as fast as you can, you will definitely be late!
As the culprit who caused the delay, General Yangwei did not have to bear the consequences of being late.
I was the scapegoat?!
Yang Yong let out a muffled wail, then quickly used his lightness skill, carrying a whole bunch of tiny, tangled things, to hurry back to the military camp.
※※※※
Tianyun, who had sown seeds of curiosity and doubt in Yang Yong's mind, had already entered the city.
The armored soldiers escorted Tianyun safely to her destination and then returned to camp, leaving only two of the most agile young generals in white robes to stay by her side at all times.
Tianyun took a nice bath, washing away the dust of her journey. With Shique's help, she applied cream all over her body, leaving no part untouched.
The wound between her legs had almost healed, but because her skin was delicate, the marks tended to linger longer than those on others. There was still a faint redness around her eyes, which was barely noticeable unless you looked closely.
"Does my face look much rougher?" Tianyun asked Shi Que, cupping her face in her hands, her heart pounding with fear.
She was eager to see if the arduous journey of the past ten days had damaged her skin, but the inn was extremely rudimentary, lacking even a bronze mirror...
Shi Que styled her hair into a simple bun, then sighed helplessly, "How could that be! I don't see any change at all." She then leaned down and gently pinched her porcelain-white face, teasingly saying, "So tender it's almost dripping with moisture!"
Tianyun was finally relieved. She had this love of beauty from her previous life.
As a surgeon, she sometimes has to stay up late, which is very damaging to the skin. Her dressing table is full of all kinds of skin care products. No matter how tired or late she is at work every night, she must do her skin care before going to sleep.
She had long since developed these habits, and she couldn't change them even after arriving here. These creams and hand creams were all homemade by her after she transmigrated here.
Although the original owner had a good foundation, she didn't know how to protect it properly, and now she's almost completely ruined it.
Her snow-white skin was particularly eye-catching, and even Shi Que, who was also a woman, couldn't help but take a few more glances. When Shi Que was wiping her back, she would often stare at her blankly, which made Tian Yun both amused and helpless.
Most importantly, the area below her waist and abdomen was kept pink and tender by her care. She was ashamed to touch it, but every now and then she would force herself to apply some ointment while suppressing her embarrassment.
In ancient times, without cell phones, life was incredibly boring, and going to bed at nine o'clock was far too early, so people had to pay more attention to their health.
She was meticulous in every single detail!
Under the instructions of the young general in white robes, they hurried towards the military camp.
It's been more than ten days since I last saw Your Highness. I wonder if we'll seem distant?
I heard that his strategy worked well and he defeated the Western Huan's main camp. I wonder if he was injured...
Tianyun was both worried and afraid, but when she arrived at the military camp, she found it empty. She learned that His Highness was not in the camp at the moment, but had gone to the city lord's mansion to attend a banquet hosted by Miss Qin Feifei.
Her cat-like eyes narrowed dangerously, and she smiled gently, asking the guard, "May I enter the camp to wait for the general?"
Tianyun combed her hair back into the traditional Chinese updo style.
The young soldiers belonged to different camps and did not recognize the white-robed young general beside Tianyun. Moreover, with Qin Xiangxiang as a cautionary tale, they had already received a harsh rebuke from the general.
Although the girl was beautiful, he dared not release her easily and could only say, "It is inconvenient to enter the camp. If you are truly an old friend of the general, you may go to the city lord's mansion to find him."
The young soldier stood ramrod straight, unable to bring himself to look at that face. He averted his gaze, not daring to look away, and could only say gently, "Please leave quickly, young lady..."
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Deputy General Yang, panting heavily, rushing toward them in two strides.
The young soldier's eyes lit up. "Deputy General Yang, didn't you go to the banquet with General Yangwei? Why are you back?"
Yang Yong, his clothes jingling with small items, replied breathlessly, "Don't even mention it! Quickly send two people to the general's tent. Be extremely careful; if they get damaged, I'll hold you responsible!"
He had to rush to the banquet. He already knew Yang Yong's identity from their conversation. "Yes!"
He then pointed to the four people from Tianyun standing to the side, "Vice General, this young lady is also here to see you, General. Why don't you bring her along as well?"
Yang Yong, panting heavily, glanced casually in Tianyun's direction upon hearing this. He inwardly grumbled, "With His Highness's aloof and unapproachable nature, how come so many blind girls keep coming after him?"
Why is it that such a considerate and gentle gentleman like himself is ignored?
Upon seeing the girl's face, Yang Yong was immediately terrified!
He straightened his clothes, his expression becoming extremely dignified and imposing, and his tone was also very polite as he said, "Miss, please come with me."
Having already learned of Yang Yong's identity from their conversation, wasn't this just like someone offering a pillow when you're sleepy?
Tianyun gave a slight curtsy, fulfilling all the proper courtesies.
"Greetings, Vice General Yang."
Yang Yong thought he had developed an unbreakable thick skin from the monkeys in the military camp, but under the serious greeting of this gentle and beautiful girl, he couldn't help but blush.
He hastily wiped his face and said, "No need for formalities, I'll take you there, young lady."
Tianyun got up as instructed, her almond-shaped eyes, brimming with water, held a gentle smile, yet it inexplicably made people feel a little cold.
She wanted to see for herself what kind of beauty Qin Feifei possessed.
※※※※
The City Lord's Mansion of West Sea City.
At the end of the covered bridge, in a brightly lit hall, the black stone floor was covered with mink fur cushions, and everyone sat on the floor without feeling cold. The long table made of rosewood was filled with all kinds of delicacies.
The glass of aged wine was filled to eight-tenths full. Xiao Ziwu, with a calm expression, politely declined a toast from an unfamiliar official. Noticing the shy glances Qin Feifei frequently cast at him from the side, he pretended not to see them.
