"General, please have some tea!"
She changed her voice, and a soft male voice reached the other person's ears.
Zhang Shanxi turned around and Tao Yuwei saw his entire face clearly.
She exclaimed in her heart, "Wow!"
A fat man with big ears and a fat face with a lot of flesh on it, which made his eyes squint, and his eyes were so narrow that only a slit was left for him to see through.
What is even more eye-catching is his upturned nose. It would be fine if it only showed his two big nostrils, but the disgusting nose hairs also grew outside.
She memorized this face deeply.
The other person took the teacup from her hand and drank it all in one gulp without caring about anything.
"Come here and rub my back."
Zhang Shanxi handed the empty teacup to Tao Yuwei.
Tao Yuwei lowered her eyes to take the bowl, but the other party took the opportunity to catch her.
"Boy, your hands are so white! Hehe, it doesn't match your complexion at all. Serve this general well. From now on, if you follow this general, you will definitely get benefits."
Zhang Shanxi narrowed his eyes and held her hand tightly, his obscene face was disgusting.
Tao Yuwei just turned her wrist lightly and her hand was successfully freed.
Restraining the strong murderous intent in her heart, she kept reminding herself to put the overall situation first.
At this moment, the teacup fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Seeing this, Zhang Shanxi, with most of his body soaked in the super large bathtub, his fat and trembling face suddenly darkened.
"Boy, how dare you disobey this general? Come here quickly, serve this general and rub his back."
He had been assigned by his brother to this godforsaken place for more than three years, and he was almost suffocating to death.
He almost killed some of the goods that people sent to him. Now that someone has finally come to his door, he can't let him go.
Zhang Shanxi pulled his fat and ugly face to threaten Tao Yuwei.
No matter how many thoughts and guesses Tao Yuwei had in her mind, she did not show them on her dark face.
"General, I dare not. I will serve you right away. Please do not tie me up."
If she hadn't wanted to get information out of this person, she would have taken action long ago.
She walked behind him, picked up the handkerchief placed aside, and pretended to rub his back, but her hand shook and the handkerchief fell to the ground.
Pleased by her frightened and timid look, Zhang Shanxi let out a short, quick laugh.
"Did you see those two people who were tied up and beaten? Don't worry, as long as you are willing to stay by my side, I will not treat you like that."
Zhang Shanxi enjoyed the frightened attitude of the skinny soldier towards him.
Only in this way can he feel inexplicably happy.
This soldier met his requirements very well. He was young, and his eyes were full of innocence and fear. Just like the goods sent from the capital, he was fascinated by them.
I don’t know how long he will stay here. It would be great if he could return to the capital and become a high-ranking official.
He can then enjoy the pleasure of various goods to his heart's content.
It’s not like now. He has no home to return to and no happiness to enjoy. He has to hide in this deserted mountain all year round, doing training with a group of soldiers.
He was almost fed up and wrote many letters to his eldest brother, hoping that he would transfer him back to the capital, but his eldest brother sternly refused.
In the reply letter, he was scolded and said that this arrangement was good for him.
Humph, what a bullshit. The eldest brother lives in the capital, living a life of luxury under the feet of the emperor, yet he was kicked out of the house and made to work like a slave for him.
Why? As for those goods that were to be sold to Lingzhou, he would secretly seize a portion of them every time they passed through here.
"They looked badly beaten, and their clothes didn't look like our soldiers. Could they be thieves who sneaked into our camp?"
Tao Yuwei picked up the handkerchief reluctantly, turned her innocent eyes, stood there timidly and asked with pretended curiosity.
Zhang Shanxi, who was lying in the bathtub, was in a good mood at the moment, so he spoke to Tao Yuwei proudly.
"Your guess was correct. Those two men actually tried to steal the goods we sent from the capital. Fortunately, this general, with his foresight, discovered something on his way to meet the cargo and captured the criminals hiding among the goods. He is now imprisoned in a cell in a nearby cave."
After interrogation, the two men admitted that they were brothers who were engaged in human trafficking around the capital. They heard from their colleagues that there were goods in the slums in the south of the city, so they became malicious and wanted to snatch some people from there and sell them away, so they followed the goods all the way.
Tomorrow, he would definitely write to his eldest brother, asking for his advice on how to deal with those two people and asking him to report to the higher authorities for his contribution.
When Tao Yuwei heard that her two guards were still alive, her worries were reduced a little.
She found that this fat general was not very smart and was actually assigned here to be in charge of a large number of private soldiers. This showed how stupid his master was.
In her opinion, it was quite strange that a fool was placed in such an important place and stayed there for several years without any incident.
Perhaps it was because the surrounding geographical location was too hidden that it was luckily not discovered.
So, Tao Yuwei decided to take a bold test.
"I also saw some children. Are they also here to serve as soldiers?"
"They are too young to be soldiers. They are here to serve this general. The others have all been sent to Lingzhou."
Zhang Shanxi was drowsy while soaking in the water. He didn't think much about it and blurted out these important words.
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and urged impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense and come and rub my back!"
Now that she had received the news, how could Tao Yuwei possibly stay any longer? Her mood continued to sink.
