”Didn't the general take himself for a woman?”
Zhou Leping was speechless.
”General, don't worry. I don't think of you as a woman either.”
For a moment she didn't know whether to be happy or angry.
”General, please change your clothes.”
Zhou Leping was still embarrassed, she slowly took off her clothes and looked around, all she could do was stare at his chin.
Zhu Guanliang suddenly reached out his hands and circled behind her head. Then, her face relaxed, and he took off her mask.
”There are no outsiders here. The general doesn't need to wear a mask.”
”Aren't you an outsider?”
He smiled. ”I'm a doctor.”
”I forgot. Your medical skills are so high; you've seen nothing. How could you be scared by my face?”
Zhu Guanliang raised his eyes, stared at her face, and said with a serious expression.
Zhou Leping looked away, ”Don't you have to speak lies with your eyes wide open in order to console me? Is the reactions of the people around you not enough for me to see myself clearly?”
She sat up straight and spread her arms, not wanting to continue the conversation.
Zhu Guanliang tactfully decided not to speak anymore.
Silence reigned in the surroundings.
Zhu Guanliang helped her clean the pus on her wound, glanced at the abacus and scribbled on paper on the table, and asked casually: ”General is worrying about the pay?”
Zhou Leping looked at him with half-squinting eyes, ”How do you know?”
He evenly sprinkled a layer of medicinal powder on her wound, acting very casually. ”General, you should go out and take a look. Right now, everyone on the streets is talking about it.
Zhou Leping sighed lightly, ”Your Majesty has concerns for Your Majesty.”
Zhao Shiqian had forced her to be an evil person who destroyed bridges after rivers, and she was still helping him in the end.
”Actually, this matter isn't that difficult to accomplish either. Since the general has to face the army and obey the imperial orders, he can only fill this hole himself.”
Zhou Leping looked at him and laughed, ”Are you kidding me? Do you think I'm counting my money here all afternoon? If I had that much money, would I have to be so worried? ”
Zhu Guanliang used his scissors to cut off the bandages on her body and helped her bind it. As they got closer and further away, the strong fragrance off her body wafted in the air. She took a deep breath and listened to him continue, ”There are a lot of ways to make money.
”You have a way?”
