"Look at you, all travel-worn and unkempt. Are you trying to scare Third Sister? There are plenty of young men in the west who admire Xin Xin!" Peng Ze patted Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng reached out and touched his chin. Oh right, he hadn't groomed himself for several days. The last time he appeared in front of Xin Xin with a stubble beard, she mistook him for an old man.
"Brother-in-law is right! Thank you so much!" Lu Zheng cupped his hands in thanks.
Peng Ze called over his attendant and asked him to call Ying Shiyu Ding over.
Lu Zheng had just heard about Ying Shiyu Ding and knew that he was a wealthy businessman from Yunhai. He could roughly guess Peng Ze's intentions, and he was very relieved that Sister Hui had found a good brother-in-law.
Soon after, Ying Shiyuding arrived. Since the capture of Giant Stone City, Ying Shiyuding had come to help process the food.
He owned a clothing store, though he didn't have the clothing of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he had the raw materials to help provide clothes for the soldiers in the army.
Peng Ze asked Ying Shiyu to find Lu Zheng a newly made uniform for a soldier of the Great Zhou Dynasty, one that closely resembled his own.
Both of them held the same rank in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so Peng Ze would never allow Lu Zheng to wear the clothes of an ordinary soldier.
"By the way, do you have any musical instruments here?" Ying Shiyuding had measured her body and was about to leave when Lu Zheng asked.
“General Zhou, what kind of musical instrument do you want? My household has some. A few years ago, I even obtained a zither from the east from a merchant,” Ying Shiyu asked respectfully.
"You have a zither! That's great! Can I borrow it?" Lu Zheng asked in surprise.
"Yes, I'll have someone bring it over shortly. However, no one in my household knows how to play it, and it's been sitting for several years, so I don't know if it's still good." Ying Shiyu nodded.
"It's alright, just have someone bring it over. Even if it's not working properly, I'll fix it for you!" Lu Zheng waved his hand dismissively.
Ying Shiyu Ding withdrew.
"What, you want to play a tune for Third Sister? Don't tell me you're planning to give her a piece of music for her birthday in a couple of days?" Peng Ze looked at Lu Zheng with an expression that said, "If you say so, I'll slap you."
"Brother-in-law, are you going to give my sister a song as a birthday gift? No way! The gift I gave Xinxin is one of a kind in the world." Lu Zheng denied.
Peng Ze looked Lu Zheng up and down, but didn't think he had brought any gifts. He didn't say anything, after all, it was a matter between the two of them.
Lu Zheng went to his room and took a pleasant bath, washing himself thoroughly before changing into the familiar Great Zhou general's uniform that he hadn't worn in a long time.
Peng Ze had food prepared, and after he had a hearty meal, it got dark.
She planned to set off to find Gu Xin with the zither given to her by Ying Shiyu, but unexpectedly, an emergency occurred ahead.
They believed that the seriously wounded Agil was currently leading his troops to harass the north gate of the Great Stone City, coming with great force and seemingly intending to attack the city.
Under these circumstances, Lu Zheng couldn't leave, so he went with Peng Ze to check on the situation.
Outside the north gate of the Great Stone City, Agil had recovered from his injuries and was personally leading his army, not attacking, but harassing the city in various ways.
She sat steadily on her warhorse, looking at the Swift Sand Army waiting solemnly on the city wall. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure.
Standing on the city wall, Lu Zheng also saw Agil on horseback.
At any time of night, there was work to be done on the city wall, and there was also work on Agil's side. Both of them had excellent eyesight and spotted each other immediately.
Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow and waved to Agil in a good mood.
