Chapter 321: Barred from Entering Camp (2) (1/2)

It was dusk, the camp’s most chaotic time. As soldiers bustled about around them, Gao Zhangwei kept trying to start up a conversation with Sima Hui.

Sima Hui’s lips were tightly pressed together, though her face remained calm. She would reply to Captain Gao once in a while. Suddenly, there was a hubbub of noise from somewhere in front. A foot soldier ran by, headed in the direction of the Right Wing Army’s tents. However, due to his urgency, he tripped in front of Sima Hui and Sima Hui quickly reached out to steady him.

When the foot soldier saw that the person who had helped him was the newly arrived female general, he looked overwhelmed by her favour.

Sima Hui’s brows knitted as she asked, “What happened? Why are you in such a rush?”

When the foot soldier saw that the female general was questioning him, he didn’t dare to hide any details. “General, some men are trying to barge into the camp at the main entrance. This humble one is going to look for Captain Guo.”

Sima Hui was astonished and she urged the soldier onwards. After thinking for a bit, she started striding towards the main entrance of the camp.

Before Gao Zhangwei had the chance to speak, he saw that Sima Hui had already left. He gritted his teeth and quickly rushed to catch up to her.

When they reached the entrance, Sima Hui swept a gaze over the scene before her. A tall man in a black cloak holding a handsome horse in hand was being blocked from entering the camp. He was standing right outside the barricades.

His back was to the camp entrance. From behind, his upright posture brought to mind a tall and straight bamboo tree.

One of the soldiers nearby recognised the female general and called out a greeting. Perhaps drawn by the shouts behind him, He Changdi turned around.

When that handsome face entered Sima Hui’s sight, she forgot to breathe for a moment.

Her eyes widened and her mind unconsciously sighed. How could there be such a handsome man on earth?

His facial features seemed to have been carved by angels; there wasn’t a single blemish on his whole face.

Gao Zhangwei was also stunned by the man’s looks. When he finally recovered his senses, his first reaction was jealousy.

His fists clenched. Where had this man come from? There was absolutely no one like him in the whole entire camp!

All those traits that he had thought were the best parts of himself… had been instantly beaten by this man.

When he noticed that Sima Hui’s gaze carried a trace of infatuation as she stared at that man, Gao Zhangwei was quick to anger. “What are all of you standing around for? Don’t you know that the first military law is to kill all who trespass into an army camp?!”

He Changdi’s gaze landed on Gao Zhangwei and then drifted away just as quickly, as if disgusted by the sight.

Before He Changdi could speak, his subordinate’s temper had already flared up. “Captain Gao, don’t you dare push us too hard! Our commanding officer is Captain He of the Right Wing Army! Don’t make slanderous accusations without proof!”

What! Captain He? That beardy He Changdi?

What a joke! If this man was trying to impersonate He Changdi, he should have covered his whole face with a beard first!
