C40 (1/2)

The tree was narrow, so Su Zhi and Xiao Qian had to squeeze together. Looking at the fireworks alone sounded romantic, but it was not.

Su Zhi did not dare to look at Xiao Qian's face, afraid that he would kick her down in anger.

If she hadn't been so stupid tonight, things wouldn't have turned out this way. The grand general actually squeezed a tree branch with her. Just thinking about it made her feel stifled, and the more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt.

Su Zhi could not help but hug the tree branch beside her. If Xiao Qian was really angry, it would be easier for her to guard against it.

After her actions, the tight colored undergarment slipped out of her clothes.

The woman almost cried out in fear. She wanted to reach out to grab it, but she was too late.

The soft undergarment formed a square as it fell towards the head of Tan Zhao, who was standing under the tree.

It's over, I'm afraid I'll have to die in the back mountain tonight!

Su Zhi covered her face and did not dare to look down. She did not dare to imagine how she would explain being caught red-handed.

No, why bother explaining it! If you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to clean it.

In that split-second, Xiao Qian used his foot to hook the falling undergarment. It was only two meters away from the position of the vice commander.

Su Zhi saw through her fingers that Xiao Qian's expression was unnatural as she grabbed the undergarment and stuffed it into her hands like a hot potato, her ears turning red.

Because of this small movement, the branch that couldn't withstand the gravity let out a creaking sound.

Qin Wentian heard the commotion, and instantly shifted his gaze onto the tree as he coldly stared at Qin Wentian.

”Someone come!” Bring a torch! ”

Hearing that, all the blood in Su Zhi's body froze.

Upon receiving the order, a soldier immediately brought a torch over.

Tan Zhao caught the torch and was about to reach for the tree when he was distracted by a sound coming from afar.

”Who is it!”

Not even six feet away from where he was, a figure quickly dashed out. That person's speed was extremely fast, and after he flashed through the forest, he immediately disappeared without a trace.

”Chase!”

He had already thought about what to say after exposing the other party's identity. He didn't expect that he would be lucky enough to escape this calamity.

Su Zhi let out a long sigh, feeling as if she had just survived a disaster. She looked to her side, only to realize that there was no trace of Xiao Qian around, and that he had risked his life to lure the soldiers away.

The group ran in the opposite direction, moving further and further away from her.

Now that she was safe, Su Zhi wiped the sweat off her forehead and carefully climbed down the tree. However, she did not expect her hands and feet to be so weak.

”Ouch!” Realizing that she had lost control of herself, Su Zhi quickly covered her mouth and lay on the ground, not daring to move.

”Eh? Did you hear anything just now? ”

The two young generals who had been left alone returned with torches in hand and looked in the direction Su Zhi had fallen.

”Yes, it sounded like a woman's voice.” the soldier replied.

”I think it's because you miss women.” Soldier B joked.

”Don't spout nonsense. Lady Su went out of the camp tonight, and I haven't seen anyone. I wonder where she went.”

As the two soldiers got closer, the light became brighter. Naturally, Su Zhi could hear every word they were discussing.

Su Zhi, who was lying on the ground, was sweating anxiously, hoping that the two of them could leave quickly.

”That's strange, we didn't even see the general when we first came up.”

”What do you know? Who do you think our general is? He must have come here to investigate after hearing the news.”

The closer the two people got, the more Su Zhi would have nowhere to hide.

At this critical moment, a figure quickly jumped out from the west side and stood in front of the two men, blocking their way. ”Since you know that this general has arrived, you should be more nimble with your words.”

The two soldiers looked closely and saw that it was Xiao Qian, who was wearing armor and holding a long sword.

”Your subordinate pays his respects to the general!” The two of them immediately stopped and bowed.

Xiao Qian nodded slightly and pointed in the direction of the group. ”There's no need to search this place. We can go and see if there are any clues.”

”Yes, sir!”
