Chapter 160: Punishment with a Military Stick
When Military Supervisor Luo saw that the young man's dirty robe had several holes in it and one toe was exposed from his shoe, he thought that he must have been tired from delivering food along the way.
At this moment, he had his head down and looked a little depressed, and I couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.
He pondered, "Does your family want you to meet him? If you really want to meet him, wait until the commander has finished discussing matters, and I will introduce him to you?"
Gu Huan quickly shook her head: "No need."
Mu Junyan is already so tired. He finally got a few days off from fighting. Let him have a good rest.
Luo Jianjun smiled and said, "Then I will take you two to where you will live. The rest of you brothers can be placed in the various tents and squeeze in with the soldiers. Don't worry."
Gu Huan hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Military Supervisor Luo."
After walking for a while, the three of them saw an empty tent.
"You'll just have to make do with it for one night. The bedding and other items in our barracks are distributed according to the number of people. There are no extra ones."
Military Supervisor Luo took a look at the young man. Although his robe was tattered, it was still a cotton robe and should be enough for him to wear overnight.
The health guard is a tall and strong man, so he should be more resistant to cold than the young man.
Gu Huan glanced at the dusty tent, without showing any disdain, and nodded in response, "Thank you."
In the military camp, she couldn't be pretentious and just had to put up with it for one night.
It's not like she hasn't suffered before.
Luo Jianjun gave special instructions: "It's very windy here, you should go to bed early, and don't walk around the barracks at night, or you will violate discipline."
"I understand. Thank you, sir." Gu Huan nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sky in the mountains changed suddenly. The sky was full of stars just now, but suddenly a strong wind blew up from the ground.
The military camp was empty, the mountain wind was howling, the flags were fluttering, and the thin tents were shaking as if they would be uprooted.
Gu Huan's small body could not withstand such strong wind. She staggered, her clothes flew up, and her hat was also blown up.
Gu Huan was shocked and thought something was wrong. She quickly reached out to press the hat, but the hat's ribbon got tangled on her arm and couldn't be untied for a long time.
Seeing her staggering in such a mess, General Luo laughed and came over to help her, but his movements were so rude that he ripped off her hat and hairpin as well.
The hairpin fell to the ground with a clang.
In an instant, her black hair fluttered in the wind like a waterfall, and a large area of Jiang Huang's face was wiped off, revealing her fair skin.
The chief guard was startled and quickly stepped forward to block General Luo's sight, but he had already seen it.
General Luo stared blankly at the young man in front of him... No, it was clearly a little girl!
"You...you...are a woman!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers around him suddenly became excited, and groups of people turned around and stared at Gu Huan.
A woman coming to the military camp is like a little white rabbit falling into a wolf's den. Even if she is not a hungry wolf, she is still attractive enough.
Not far away, patrolling soldiers also came over here: "What's going on? A woman sneaked in!"
Gu Huan was anxious and hurriedly explained: "Sir, listen to my explanation."
The patrolling protector saw Gu Huan, his thick eyebrows sank, and he asked fiercely, "What's going on?"
Gu Huan said hurriedly, "My lords, my surname is Gu, and I am here with my second uncle to deliver donated food and supplies to the Mu family army. My second uncle is ill, and we are worried that you are short of food and medicine. I have no choice but to dress up as a man and deliver the supplies for him."
When the two heard that they were thinking about the Mu family army in every way and had traveled thousands of miles to deliver urgently needed supplies such as military rations and medicines, their expressions became much kinder.
Luo Jianjun nodded: "I see. No wonder you look so delicate and effeminate."
Gu Huan blushed and hunched her shoulders, not daring to straighten her chest.
Although the Protector General felt that it was understandable and that it was a timely help, military discipline is military discipline.
His face was still dark. "Except for the registered prostitutes, women are strictly prohibited from entering or leaving the army. Even donating food is not allowed. You will get the credit you deserve, but you must leave immediately."
He waved his arm and ordered the patrol soldiers to come up and escort Gu Huan.
Luo Jianjun was surprised and quickly stopped her: "It's already dark, how can you let a little girl go back?"
The Protector General is in charge of patrolling and must not be partial, otherwise, the commander-in-chief will not forgive him.
Although he no longer looked as fierce as before, his tone was still firm: "Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. Luo Jianjun, you dare to disobey, but I dare not. I have shown mercy to her, otherwise, I will definitely give her thirty strokes of the cane according to the military order. If you and I already know that she is a woman, and we still dare to keep her, if the commander finds out, you know how many strokes you and I will receive. The commander has always been ruthless and strict with himself."
Gu Huan was so nervous that sweat broke out on her back. She said hurriedly, "Don't worry, Lord Luo. I'll leave."
"But there are wolves on the mountain road you are on."
General Luo really couldn't bear it. The little girl looked so delicate. Wouldn't it be pitiful if she was eaten by a wolf?
The Protector General pulled him close and whispered, "If she doesn't leave, you will harm her if she is discovered."
Military Inspector Luo felt nervous.
The soldiers who were watching were talking about it. Some supported General Luo, saying that he had traveled thousands of miles to help the Mu family army in their time of need. This effortlessly moved heaven and earth, and he should be an exception.
Someone supported the governor and said that military discipline must be strict, otherwise, if someone brought women into the camp privately in the future, it would cause chaos.
Soon, the news that a little girl had entered the military camp spread throughout the camp. Those who had work to do stopped what they were doing, and those who had nothing to do rushed to watch.
The noise was so loud that it alarmed the people in the big tent.
The curtain of the big tent was lifted, and Akabane came out: "What happened? The master asked me to come out and ask."
Military Supervisor Luo was in a dilemma. When he saw the commander's personal guard coming out to ask questions, he was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat.
The Protector-General glanced at him and walked towards Akabane.
Military Inspector Luo had no choice but to run over.
The Protector General said, "It was the person who escorted the donated grain... She was a woman."
Akabane frowned: "What's going on? Supervisor Luo can't even tell the difference between a man and a woman, how did he bring a woman in?"
"Hey..." Just as General Luo was about to explain, Mu Junyan's voice came from inside the tent.
"Come in and talk."
The Protector General and General Luo quickly followed Chiyu into the tent.
Luo Jianjun explained, "Commander-in-chief, today the wealthy Jiangling merchant Pei donated fifty carts of food and some winter clothing and medicinal materials. Ah, the manufacturer of the winter clothing that just arrived."
Mu Junyan was leaning on a bamboo chair with his eyes closed, and opened his eyes when he heard the words.
Pei family?
Deliver food?
How come he doesn't know anything about this?
"That's a good thing, then what?"
"Then... the one who brought the food to the military camp was a woman."
Mu Junyan frowned: "Girl?"
The Protector General quickly said, "She came here in men's clothing, and Supervisor Luo failed to notice her. According to the law, a woman who enters the camp without permission will be punished with thirty military sticks. But she brought a lot of food, winter clothes, and medicinal herbs to us with the grain team, and she is also the supplier of our winter clothes this year, so... I also feel it is a bit difficult to deal with."
He had just seen clearly the little girl, who had such a small body, but dared to deliver food thousands of miles away, and he felt a little touched.
Look at her, her clothes are all torn and she looks so pitiful.
Luo Jianjun said quickly, "Yes, yes. The food they sent is all high-quality white rice, and most importantly, they also have medicinal herbs, which can solve our urgent needs."
Mu Junyan didn't want to bother about such a small matter, and said indifferently: "This is a small matter and it should be handled according to the law. I have always told you that if the military orders are not strict, how can the people be convinced? Luo, the military supervisor, failed to supervise, and he should be punished with the same military stick. Since the little girl was sent by the Pei family to deliver food, there is no need to punish her so much, but she should be punished, but be gentle. After the punishment, let her leave the barracks immediately."
Upon hearing this, General Luo did not dare to refute.
The protector glared at him, meaning, "You see, you're going to be beaten too."
Luo the military supervisor had no choice but to say, "Yes. Then I will go and get the beating. Miss Gu will also be beaten with ten beatings before she is taken out."
"...Wait!" Mu Junyan suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Her last name is Gu?"
The Protector General was confused: "That's right, she said she came with her second uncle to deliver food."
Pei family, second uncle, Gu...!
