Qiao Zhen swung her injured leg and turned around, as silly as ever, "Come on! Let's fight..."
What did she see? Who is she? Where is she? What exactly happened? Why did Pan Zhao suddenly appear in front of her? This can't be real!
Pan Zhao's face was so dark it was almost dripping with ink. He looked at Qiao Zhen with a deep gaze, and anyone with eyes could tell he was furious, and very furious at that.
Wei Xianfeng was quite surprised; the most honest and simple-minded soldier among the elite troops had gotten angry so easily. He tried to mediate, saying, "Since Brother Qiao is unwilling..."
“I’m willing!” Qiao Zhen interrupted Wei Xianfeng. She nodded like a chick pecking at rice and said very seriously, “I’m really willing. As a fellow soldier who is friendly and kind, I must share my sleeping place with him. Otherwise, my conscience won’t be at peace.”
Wei Xianfeng was taken aback by Qiao Zhen's words, but finally laughed and said, "Alright, then you should get some rest. Brother Pan, be careful not to touch Brother Qiao's leg while you're sleeping, his leg is injured."
Pan Zhao's face darkened even more.
"Get out! Get out!" Qiao Zhen impatiently chased away this useless teammate. She glanced cautiously at Pan Zhao, then stood silently in place.
Pan Zhao pulled Qiao Zhen out directly.
Qiao Zhen cried out in pain.
Pan Zhao finally hoisted her onto his shoulder and carried her out, then put Qiao Zhen down in a quiet, secluded place. "What are you doing here? Go back!"
Qiao Zhen tugged at Pan Zhao's sleeve, pleading, "No, I want to stay here! Isn't it good for me to be here? I can take care of you, do your laundry, cook for you, and sew your clothes. How can you bear to let me go back?" Seeing that Pan Zhao didn't speak, she shook his arm, "Husband~"
Hearing her soft, sweet voice, how could Pan Zhao possibly stay angry with her? He squatted down and rolled up Qiao Zhen's left trouser leg, only to see a large bruise on her leg. "What happened?"
Qiao Zhen nestled weakly in Pan Zhao's arms, "It was from a stone. Husband, you don't know, after you left, Miss Yan wanted to take me to her house. I refused repeatedly, but they had people forcibly take me away, sob sob sob..."
Pan Zhao's large, warm hand patted Qiao Zhen's back. He had dealt with Yan Rupu in his previous life; she was a willful, selfish woman who was also difficult to read between the lines, and a woman who was both flexible and accommodating. What his wife said, Yan Rupu could actually do. "It's my fault, I didn't think it through."
Seeing that Pan Zhao was starting to waver, Qiao Zhen pressed on, saying, "Besides, I was forced to come in, and now it's hard to get out. Moreover, I'm a woman; if I'm discovered, I'll be beheaded." She cried even harder, then buried her face in Pan Zhao's arms, "Husband, are you really willing to let me go to my death?"
She pressed her face against Pan Zhao's clothes, mainly to wipe away a large amount of snot and tears.
So honest Pan Zhao was fooled by Qiao Zhen; in other words, Pan Zhao turned a blind eye to Qiao Zhen's request.
Pan Zhao carried Qiao Zhen back to the tent, and the two resumed their blissful life of sleeping in each other's arms (crossed out).
the next day.
Wei Xianfeng tried to use Qiao Zhen's method to smash the large rock into the air, and he successfully did so. He happily returned with the strategist to report back, and Qiao Zhen's status in General Ge's heart rose even higher.
Qiao Zhen sat on a large rock by the river, munching on an apple. She looked at Pan Zhao, who was washing her clothes, and felt inexplicably moved yet also a little sad.
Isn't it wrong for her to bully honest people like this?
Finally having a change of heart, Qiao Zhen skipped over to Pan Zhao, saying, "I'll wash it."
Before her hand even touched her clothes, Pan Zhao roared, "Don't you want your legs anymore?! Do you think you're made of iron?! Injured legs are unstable. If you don't want your legs, I'll just take them off!"
So everyone saw the self-proclaimed invincible and arrogant Brother Qiao bow his head to Pan Zhao in humiliation, and say with a slightly aggrieved tone, "I know I was wrong."
Everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Qiao Zhen glared at them fiercely and said menacingly, "What are you looking at?! Look again and I'll mess with you!"
The crowd scattered like birds and beasts. Some of them looked down on Qiao Zhen's appearance, having been tricked by her before, feeling both humiliated and resentful. They dared not provoke her again.
Pan Zhao just smiled sheepishly as he watched them leave.
Qiao Zhen felt even more heartbroken. Pan Zhao was always so kind and gentle to everyone else, but he was always yelling at or scolding her. "Why are you always so mean to me..."
Pan Zhao looked at Qiao Zhen, his previous憨笑 replaced by anger, "Where have I been mean to you?!"
It was fierce everywhere. But Qiao Zhen chose to keep quiet. She tugged at the grass at her feet and muttered a few words weakly, not daring to let Pan Zhao hear her.
Seeing that his elite troops had arrived, General Ge prepared to set off. Dozens of sharp-tongued soldiers sat below the city tower, cursing at the soldiers on the gate of Dongluan City, from their ancestors to three-year-old children.
"Why aren't you guys replying? Are you afraid you'll lose even your underwear to us, hahahahaha?"
Three women make a drama, but dozens of shrewish men cursing together is practically the biggest show of the year. Qiao Zhen watched with great interest from the back. She observed the expressions of the soldiers on the city wall, and when most of the soldiers showed impatience, she waved her hand and commanded, "Set up the ladders!"
Pan Zhao hurriedly instructed, "If there is any danger, stay away. Nothing is more important than your safety."
Qiao Zhen waved dismissively.
Pan Zhao wanted to yell at her, but he had to leave because of the ladder that had already been set up in front of him. He channeled his anger at Qiao Zhen into the motivation to climb up. In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he had climbed up the city wall. Every move he made was powerful, which showed how angry he was at Qiao Zhen.
