Chapter 85 Want to maintain integrity
Huo Xiao: ...
The expression on his face suddenly became indescribable.
The one whose expression was even more difficult to describe than his was Su Yunyao.
She even had some doubts now. When they made love together, he wouldn't be like a blank sheet of paper, knowing nothing, right?
Weren't there fire avoidance diagrams and the like in ancient times? Doesn't he usually take a look at them to broaden his horizons? Isn't he curious at all?
The two of them returned to the tiger tent hand in hand.
Pearl, who was following behind, was very sensible and waited outside.
As soon as she turned around, Ji Yan came over.
Zhenzhu bowed and saluted, "Greetings, General Ji."
Ji Yan acted as if he didn't hear her and was about to walk straight to the tiger tent, but was stopped by Zhenzhu with a hand.
"General Ji, the princess and General Huo are in the tiger tent. It's not convenient for you to go in now."
Ji Yan glanced sideways, a sneer on his lips: "You dare to stop me?"
Zhenzhu saluted again, neither servile nor arrogant, "General Ji, I dare not, but the eldest princess is inside. Without the eldest princess's order, I dare not let you in."
"Great, what a good servant!" Ji Yan's eyes were red and his tone was full of sarcasm.
Zhenzhu didn't seem to take her anger to heart and continued calmly, "Thank you for the compliment, General Ji. As the eldest princess's personal maid, I naturally obey the eldest princess alone."
When Ji Yan heard this, her face turned pale instantly, her chest heaved twice, and she suddenly smiled.
Right at this moment.
Su Yunyao's voice came from inside the tent, "Zhenzhu, what's going on?"
"In reply to the Princess, General Ji Yanji requests an audience."
Ji Yan?
Hearing this name, Su Yunyao turned around and looked at Huo Xiao.
Because of the chest injury, Huo Xiao wore an undershirt in the tiger tent without fastening it.
When he first went out, he was wrapped in a cloak, but the charcoal fire in the tiger tent was burning fiercely, so he took it off when he came back.
Su Yunyao glanced at the well-defined muscles on his chest and raised an eyebrow. "Are you planning to let her in like this?"
Huo Xiao was stunned when he heard this. Without even thinking, he blurted out, "I didn't intend to let her in."
Su Yunyao: ...
Last second.
She was also feeling uncomfortable because Ji Yan had said in front of her with confidence that there was no distinction between men and women in the military camp.
Next second.
After hearing Huo Xiao's words, she suddenly felt that his words were not directed at her alone.
What a straight man!
Hehehe... hehehehehe...
"Why don't you let her in? You are the commander-in-chief of the military camp. General Ji wants to see him. How can General Huo turn her away? What if General Ji wants to discuss some important military business with you?"
Huo Xiao: ...
Even though he knew in his heart that Ji Yan came to him at this time, it was most likely related to the eldest princess.
But since the princess said so, he couldn't turn her away.
Su Yunyao turned around, grabbed his collar with both hands, and pulled him towards her. She whispered in his ear, "General Huo, remember this: your body is only for me to see. If other women see it, it will be unclean. This princess doesn't want a dirty man."
Huo Xiao: ...
Before Su Yunyao said these words, Huo Xiao had already fastened his inner garment and put on an outer garment.
Hearing her say this now.
After he had tidied his undergarments, he pulled the cloak over and wrapped it around himself.
A question mark slowly appeared above Su Yunyao's head.
In order to allow him to better recover from his injuries, the tiger tent was heated by charcoal and only required him to wear an inner garment.
Huo Xiao is wrapped in three layers of clothes. Isn’t it hot?
Outside the tiger tent.
Ji Yan listened to the archers who had returned from Ximen Pass with Su Yunyao, praising the scene that had just taken place on the city wall.
"Hasn't it been rumored that our Great Xia's eldest princess is only interested in pleasure and doesn't know how to do anything else? Why do I feel that the rumor is untrue?"
"Let me tell you, I received an order today to hide on the city wall and protect the princess. I thought I would die here today and never thought I would come back alive."
"Isn't it? I even hid the letter to my wife and my private money under my pillow. Who would have thought that the eldest princess would scare away that arrogant Sang Ye with just a few words, just like it was a game."
"Oh, who is our General Huo? He's a Rakshasa on the battlefield. He can command 300,000 elite soldiers. How could he be interested in a straw bag?"
"What was the name of the plan the princess just mentioned?"
"Empty City Strategy!"
"Yes, yes, that's right. They said they deliberately left the city gates open to make it look like the whole city was empty, so that the enemy wouldn't dare come in."
"Didn't that bastard Sang Ye say that his plan was an empty city plan?"
"Bah! That's just luring the enemy, not the empty city plan. Just listen to his bullshit."
"But then again, the eldest princess is really beautiful."
"Our eldest princess is the emperor's biological sister, born of the same mother. In her time, she was the most beautiful woman in Great Xia, stunningly beautiful and peerless. The eldest princess is even more beautiful than her predecessors."
"I'm so envious of our General Huo. How come the princess likes him? I wish the princess could like me."
"You? If you have nothing to do, go take a piss and take a good look. Our general is handsome and elegant, a master of military service, and he was the top scorer in both civil and military examinations. Do you think the princess will fall for anyone?"
"Okay, okay, I overstepped my bounds. The princess is so beautiful and so smart, yet she doesn't even let me think."
"I think you're really going to get yourself into trouble. Saying this to my face is fine, but if General Huo hears you, be careful of the warlords' punishment. Insulting the princess is a serious crime..."
Ji Yan frowned deeply as he listened to what the two soldiers said.
Huo Xiao's voice just came from inside the tiger tent, asking her to come in.
Shen Qiu Nian also came over.
"General Ji? Why are you here?"
"Lord Shen."
Ji Yan bowed politely and moved her lips but had no time to speak.
Shen Qiu Nian heard the message and went straight into the tiger tent.
Ji Yan's eyes darkened, and he clenched his hands into fists at his side and followed Shen Qiu Nian.
The moment the door curtain was opened, a burst of hot air hit my face.
The two were stunned for a moment when they saw Huo Xiao sitting upright with a cloak draped over him.
"General Huo, are you feeling unwell? Why are you wearing so many clothes?"
Su Yunyao almost burst out laughing when she heard this. "Master Shen, don't worry. General Huo is fine. He just wants to maintain his integrity."
Shen Qiunian: ...
Ji Yan:???
"I wonder what Lord Shen is here for?" Huo Xiao asked puzzledly.
"General Huo, please take a look at this! This is the handwritten letter from the King of Xijing, just delivered by the Xijing envoy!"
