“In that case, I happen to have a job that I can introduce to them.”
"It's not tiring, and the pay is quite good. Why don't you recommend some decent-looking soldiers in your army?"
Upon hearing this, Shang Huai also began to ponder.
When Shang Huai was with his soldiers, he rarely observed their appearances.
Since Pei Zhi had already spoken up, Shang Huai would definitely help.
Shang Huai was about to say that there was a newly recruited soldier in his army who was good-looking and performed exceptionally well in the army.
With the name on the tip of his tongue, Shang Huai suddenly realized something was wrong.
When Shang Huai met Pei Zhi's gaze, Pei Zhi's eyes were full of eager anticipation.
What could Shang Huai possibly not understand?
So, Pei Zhi tricked him.
It's likely that Pei Zhi's plan to keep a male prostitute today has been ruined by them.
Pei Zhi is still up to his old tricks and is now eyeing the soldiers in the army. Pei Zhi is really something, well done.
"No."
Shang Huai insisted, "The army is full of roughnecks, and no one is particularly good-looking."
"What looks do they have to offer, all of them sunburnt like sieves every day?"
Pei Zhi pursed her lips, clearly disbelieving.
However, Pei Zhi didn't press the issue to find out the truth.
There's nothing worth staying in Shang Huai's tent; you can see right to the end, and there's nothing interesting to see.
"I'll take you horseback riding."
Pei Zhi nodded in agreement and followed behind Shang Huai.
I have no idea what terrible luck I had today.
The soldier whose name Shang Huai remembered was washing his horse in the stable today.
The horses in the army were precious, so there was a daily schedule for the soldiers to clean them.
The soldier Shang Huai mentioned was named Liu Si, and it was said that he was the fourth child in his family.
Liu Si was washing the horses in the stable, and to avoid getting his clothes wet, he took off his shirt and started washing.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Liu Si turned around and saw the general arriving with a beautiful young woman.
Liu Si disregarded everything else and quickly stepped forward to salute the general.
Shang Huai responded, but his expression was not good.
Pei Zhi, however, was gazing at the young man with amazement.
He had probably only been in the army for a short time, and his skin hadn't tanned yet.
But she has built up a muscular physique, and her face is so pure and youthful.
Shang Huai and Xiao Chengci are both approaching thirty; their naivety is naturally long gone.
"You can leave now. I'll call you over to wash the horse when I'm done here."
Shang Huai noticed Pei Zhi's gaze and immediately tried to drive Liu Si away.
Pei Zhi spoke up to stop her, "Wait a minute."
"I suddenly remembered that I can't ride a horse."
"How about this young general helps me hold the reins?"
Pei Zhi didn't actually want Liu Si to hold the reins for her.
Pei Zhi's gaze was exactly the same as the one she gave him last night.
Pei Zhizhen never expected that she would be so lucky.
Although she could no longer keep male prostitutes, she met someone who was more to her liking.
In terms of appearance, although there is still some difference between him and Xiao Chengci and Shang Huai.
But this young man has a vigor that Xiao Chengci and Shang Huai don't have, which makes him... feel good.
Shang Huai refused: "No need, he just joined the army, I'll hold the reins for you."
Liu Si believed that the general did not trust his abilities.
Liu Si immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded, "General, rest assured, I have no problem with holding the reins."
"If I were to drop this girl, I would be willing to pay with my life."
Pei Zhi quickly replied, "What do you mean by paying with your life?"
Pei Zhi looked at Shang Huai and said, "Let him come. I think he should be fine."
Without giving Shang Huai any room to refuse, Pei Zhi mounted the horse with Liu Si's help.
Shang Huai, standing to the side, was so angry he laughed.
Shang Huai shook his head unconsciously, because he was angry.
Pei Zhi pretended to be a girl who had never ridden a horse before, and as soon as she mounted the horse, she exclaimed in a low voice, "It's a bit high."
Liu Si looked up at Pei Zhi and smiled, "Miss, it's alright, don't worry, I'm holding the reins firmly."
Pei Zhi then noticed that Liu Si actually had dimples on his face, making him even more adorable when he smiled.
Shang Huai gave a light snort, then pulled out his steed and mounted it.
Shang Huai and Pei Zhi walked side by side. "Want to run for a bit?"
Pei Zhi immediately refused, saying, "No."
"I'm scared. I'd rather have this young general hold the reins and take me for a walk."
Shang Huai looked at Pei Zhi, who was saying she was scared, but in reality, there was no fear on her face at all.
Pei Zhi leaned down and spoke to Liu Si in a low voice.
"Young general, we still don't know your name."
Liu Si's face turned red. "I just joined the army, I'm not some junior general."
"Young soldier? What's your name?"
"Liu Si, I am the fourth child in my family."
Pei Zhi pressed further, "How old are you?"
"eighteen."
Pei Zhi's smile deepened. "What a wonderful age."
"Has your family gotten married yet?"
Liu Si shook his head, "I have an older brother who isn't married yet, so it's not my turn."
Shang Huai coughed heavily twice, but unfortunately, no one noticed him.
Pei Zhi continued, "That's good. Where do you live?"
Liu Si gave the address of a village that Pei Zhi had never heard of.
Pei Zhi then asked if there was anything fun to do in Liu Si's village.
Liu Si said that there is a stream in the village, and people used to go there to catch fish when they had nothing to do.
Beside the stream, there is a large mulberry tree that bears very sweet and delicious fruit.
"When are you on vacation? I'd like to visit your village then."
Liu Si scratched his head. "There are only seven days left until the holiday."
"Then I..."
Shang Huai shouted loudly to a passing soldier.
"Li Cheng, come and take the horse. Tell Liu Si to go back and wash the horse, so he won't be too late."
When the patrolling soldiers heard the general call his name, they naturally came over immediately to take the reins from Liu Si.
Liu Si bowed to Shang Huai, nodded slightly to Pei Zhi, and then jogged away.
Pei Zhi looked at the man leading her horse; his face was covered in acne scars.
"Give me the reins, I'll do it myself."
“No,” Shang Huai said immediately. “You can’t ride a horse; it’s too dangerous.”
Pei Zhi glared at Shang Huai, "Then get off your horse and come here to lead it for me."
Li Cheng looked at the general, but dared not speak.
Shang Huai dismounted and tossed the reins to Li Cheng.
"Take the horse back to the stable."
Li Cheng cupped his hands and replied, "Yes."
Pei Zhi looked at Shang Huai, who was walking ahead and holding the reins for her, and the more she looked at him, the more displeased she became.
"Shang Huai, did you do this on purpose?"
She was having a good chat with Liu Si, so why did Shang Huai have to drive her away?
"I don't understand what you're saying."
“Fine.” Pei Zhi said, “You don’t understand, do you? Then I’ll have you call Liu Si back to me.”
Shang Huai resolutely refused: "No."
