"Oh." Qiao Zhen returned to the elite soldiers' tent with a cold face. She originally wanted to use the two military strategy books she borrowed to mock the intelligence of this world, and she even complained about it in front of Pan Zhao. In the end, she didn't mock the intelligence of this world, but her own intelligence. Who knows how Pan Zhao is laughing at her behind her back!
That evening, General Ge hosted a banquet for General Yan. He felt a sense of satisfaction at the sight of General Yan's sour face, while General Yan and his troops sat there resentfully.
Qiao Zhen, as an attendant, followed Pan Zhao to General Ge's side. She watched helplessly as the not-so-bright General Ge nearly made General Yan vomit blood.
"Brother Yan, please don't stand on ceremony with me. After all, His Majesty's word is law, and whoever conquers Dongluan City will be rewarded. I have already received the Emperor's reward, so I can't let you suffer any grievances in Dongluan City." General Ge stood up with his wine cup in hand. "Come, let me toast you."
General Yan was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to drink or not. He sneered, "The goods haven't been secured yet, Brother Ge, don't be too happy yet."
General Ge pretended not to understand. “Dongluan City is already in our hands, why are you not happy?” He beckoned to Pan Zhao. “Come, Brother Yan, take a look at my soldier. It was he who climbed up the city wall and made the way, which allowed me to successfully capture Dongluan City.”
If General Yan didn't back down soon, the situation would become very ugly. He said, "Hahahaha, brother, you're joking with me. You're not taking it seriously, are you?"
General Ge also let out a string of pig-like laughs, longer and louder than General Yan's, "Hahahahahahahaha, my brother is joking with his older brother too. You and I are the closest in the Ministry of War, and it's rare to see such tacit understanding!"
Qiao Zhen stood to the left behind General Ge, a smile stuck in her chest, preventing her from expressing it.
Just then, an urgent letter arrived. After reading it, General Ge raised his arm and shouted, "The Emperor has decreed that we should return to the capital as soon as possible. Tell the brothers to make preparations!" He looked at General Yan with some difficulty, "Brother Yan, the Emperor has decreed that I dare not neglect my duty. Please forgive me, Brother Yan."
General Yan gave a light snort and left with his army.
General Ge called out from behind him, "Brother Yan, I really wasn't making excuses not to entertain you!"
Qiao Zhen finally couldn't hold back her laughter any longer and burst out, which then triggered a string of laughter from Ge Jun.
General Ge gave an arrogant snort and looked at Qiao Zhen, "Wasn't I very impressive just now?"
Qiao Zhen gave a thumbs up, "Impressive, especially impressive! Didn't you see it? When General Yan turned around just now, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. It was so satisfying to see!"
That night, Qiao Zhen and Pan Zhao slept in the same place again, so the two of them walked back to the tent side by side. Qiao Zhen said, "Come with me."
Then she went first to a secluded and deserted place. When Pan Zhao followed her, she stood on tiptoe, grabbed Pan Zhao's ear, and said fiercely, "Do you know that military treatise is the simplest?"
Pan Zhao couldn't help but twitch his lips, but he still bent down to let Qiao Zhen carry it more easily. He shook his head against his conscience, "How would I know? I've never been to school."
Qiao Zhen didn't believe it. Perhaps the Pan Zhao who hadn't been reborn hadn't read books, but the reborn Pan Zhao, who had once been General Mingwei, must have read military books. Qiao Zhen was willing to stake a single penny on it!
However, she couldn't reveal that "she knew Pan Zhao was reborn," so Qiao Zhen could only rub Pan Zhao's ears in a coquettish manner, "Does it hurt?"
Seeing that Qiao Zhen's attitude had softened, Pan Zhao immediately retorted defiantly, "Did you pull my ear?! Don't you want your hands anymore?!"
Qiao Zhen looked like a wronged little wife, dejectedly following Pan Zhao back to the tent.
Oh, she's just a wronged little wife.
The next day.
Early in the morning, the sound of bugles woke everyone up. Everyone got up quickly and orderly and packed their things. A part of the army stayed in Dongluan City to guard the city, while the rest returned to the capital with General Ge.
General Ge, along with Vanguard Wei and his strategist, and several other important generals in Ge's army, rode back with their horses. Qiao Zhen and Pan Zhao, being favorites of General Ge, were also honored to return to the capital with him.
Qiao Zhen seized the opportunity to take Pan Zhao to confess to General Ge. After all, if she went to the capital to meet the emperor, she would be guilty of deceiving the emperor, and even if General Ge pleaded for her, she would not be able to escape a dead end.
Pan Zhao knelt down with a thud, and Qiao Zhen silently followed suit, leaning her body cautiously towards Pan Zhao, appearing to depend on her.
When General Ge saw Pan Zhao and Qiao Zhen kneeling side by side, and Qiao Zhen leaning slightly towards Pan Zhao, he said indifferently, "Do you really have homosexual tendencies? It's alright, homosexuality is common in the capital, you don't need to worry too much."
Qiao Zhen straightened her chest.
General Ge frowned. Qiao Zhen thought that General Ge had realized that she was a woman, so she quickly lowered her head to indicate that she was already repenting.
But General Ge said, "We're all men, tough guys in the army. What's there to be proud of if you have a pectoral muscle?"
Qiao Zhen felt as if she had been shot in the heart. She said angrily, "General, I am a woman!"
General Ge laughed and scolded, "Today is not a good day for fools. If you were a woman, looking like this, you would never get married no matter how clever you are. If you were a man, you could be promoted and get a good wife in the future."
Qiao Zhen was struck again, this time with a sharp rebuke. "General, I am truly a woman. Pan Zhao is my husband, and I am already a month and a half pregnant."
