C12 (2/2)

”Who is here?”

The soldier guarding the city hurried forward to explain, ”General, this person said that he is a family member of the army, so this servant did not dare to let her in presumptuously, and is afraid of being a spy.”

Su Zhi calmed down, endured the numbness in her legs and approached the troop, trying to give a brief introduction of her origins.

”My wife, Su Zhi, is the wife of Nie Rufeng. My husband hasn't returned to the army for half a year, and his family is suffering from a drought. I brought two children with me to seek my husband's approval.”

That person didn't say anything. Immediately, a guard behind him came forward and explained, ”General, that Nie Ru Feng …”

He raised his hand to interrupt the guard, and then looked at Su Zhi, whose face was covered in dirt and clothes were in tatters. As he looked down, he coincidentally saw the small bean bun looking around with its big round eyes.

The kid didn't seem to be afraid of living, and when he saw that someone was staring at him, he didn't show any weakness and looked back. Seeing that there was a golden tiger with white foreheads behind the man's horse, it grinned and patted him with its two short hands, as if it was praising him.

A Jin quickly pulled down the hem of her dress, trying to distract her.

The man's ice-cold brows softened. After he shifted his gaze away, he said, ”Let them in.”

”Yes, sir!”

With the command from the general, no one disobeyed. Su Zhi entered the army camp very smoothly.

They were taken to a barracks, where a general brought them new clothes, not the best of which, but much better than the clothes they were wearing.

After running for so many days, it was time to wash up.

She didn't dare to trouble others too much and went to the kitchen to boil water and bathe. Since she was in the military camp, she didn't dare to see too many doctors and women.

Only after she had washed up and put on the simple and generous female attire did she dare to go out and ask the little general about Nie Rufeng.

Now that she was in the military camp, it wouldn't be difficult for her to meet her husband.

The general, who had been questioned, had not noticed Su Zhi previously. He only knew that the general had let in a woman with a disheveled appearance to look for a wife, but he had not expected her to be so beautiful and moving after she had been dressed up.

However, Su Zhi could still see through a plain, unadorned set of clothes. It was extremely elegant, with a light breeze, and a faintly discernible fragrance.

A few of the generals blushed as their Adam's apple bobbed up and down. They could only shake their heads and say that they weren't familiar with each other before leaving in a hurry.
