Chapter 186 Little Gu, you've finally acted like a man for once.
Zhai Sangjie reacted as if he had been burned, and threw away her foot.
"Ouch, it hurts!" Gu Xiruo cried out, tears streaming down her face.
"It's really troublesome."
Zhai Sangjie took a deep breath, gently lifted her foot back into his palm, and held her ankle with his other hand, twisting it slightly. "Does it hurt like this?"
Gu Xiruo nodded with tears in her eyes.
He straightened her legs and then saw several light pink wounds on the soles and insteps.
"Was this left behind when we were traveling?" Zhai Sangjie asked.
Gu Xiruo nodded slightly, then obediently extended her index finger, pointing to each of the wounds: "The one on the sole of my foot was pricked, the one on the instep was from a trap, the one on my ankle was a cut, and..."
She noticed that Zhai Sangjie's thick eyebrows were becoming increasingly furrowed, so she quickly stopped talking.
"But now they're almost fully recovered."
She stuck out her tongue in her mind.
These are all her medals of honor!
But the general didn't seem to want to hear it...
Looking at the wounds, Zhai Sangjie felt that their appearance on her feet was somewhat abrupt.
His hand movements unconsciously became gentler.
Why did you choose to join the army?
He couldn't understand why someone with such a gentle nature would have to suffer in the military camp.
"I...I did it for someone."
Gu Xiruo looked at him, a hint of emotion in her eyes.
"Who is worth this much attention?" Zhai Sangjie asked curiously.
Gu Xiruo looked down at his clear and bright eyes, a sweet feeling welling up in her heart, "He is naturally the best person in the world."
Zhai Sangjie looked up at her, and Gu Xiruo looked away uncomfortably.
She looked at the large rock beside her.
Sunlight shone on it, casting a shadow. Below, a few newly sprouted flowers and plants could be vaguely seen in the cracks of the rocks, as if they were only able to survive in the harsh winter by relying on the shade of the large rocks.
Gu Xiruo looked at the flowers and plants swaying in the wind and couldn't help but murmur:
“He always protects everyone, but I also want to protect him this time.”
Zhai Sangjie paused, then commented somewhat sincerely, "Little Gu, you've finally shown some manliness."
Gu Xiruo: ...
"Crack!" Taking advantage of her unpreparedness, Zhai Sangjie put the bone back in its original position, and Gu Xiruo screamed in pain.
She looked at him through her tear-filled eyes.
The general is really something...
Zhai Sangjie didn't notice the sorrow in her eyes and said, "Try moving it again now."
Gu Xiruo wiggled her foot, and sure enough, it didn't hurt anymore!
She stood up in surprise, bounced around a couple of times, and then looked up with a smile.
"Thank you, General!"
Zhai Sangjie looked at her helplessly, "Why are you like a rabbit?"
Gu Xiruo's eyes curved into crescents.
She turned around, carefully picked the entire green snake grass from the stone, handed it to Zhai Sangjie, and gave him a silk handkerchief, saying, "Here, General, please keep it safe."
"Why are you carrying women's items?" Zhai Sangjie took the handkerchief, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Could it be from the lover you're trying to protect?"
Gu Xiruo blushed and retorted, "General, please don't talk nonsense! This was left to me by my mother; I'm just lending it to you temporarily!"
But he was secretly cursing in his heart.
What kind of lover...
You're my love!
Big rock!
Zhai Sangjie didn't stand on ceremony with her, "I'll return it to you when we get back to the military camp."
He carefully wrapped the green snake grass and put it into his pocket.
Gu Xiruo looked at the tall and imposing figure in front of her. Seeing that his sharp eyebrows and eyes were no longer as cold as before, but had become gentler, her heartstrings trembled.
Even though the person is right in front of me, the longing in my heart grows stronger for some reason.
"General, I...I have something to tell you."
Zhai Sangjie didn't notice her odd behavior. "Just say what you have to say."
"I just praised you for being a real man, why are you being so hesitant now?"
"I..." Gu Xiruo hesitated, but couldn't help asking tentatively, "General, you keep talking about women. If a woman really infiltrates the military camp, what should you do?"
Zhai Sangjie said, "Naturally, it will be handled according to military regulations."
"What should we do?" Gu Xiruo stared at him, somewhat stunned.
“He will be given one hundred lashes as a warning to others.”
Gu Xiruo: ...
What were you trying to say to me?
"N-nothing..." Gu Xiruo stammered, "The weather is about to change, let's go back quickly."
Zhai Sangjie watched her fleeing figure and frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.
Something's not right with this Xiao Gu.
Could it be... that his lover is in the camp?!

Haimu City.
Zhai Rongyu lay on the table, slowly transferring the treasure map she saw in her mind onto paper.
After finishing the last stroke, she tossed the brush onto the table, picked up the paper, and looked at it with satisfaction.
[Hehe~]
【I'm just an ordinary little drawing genius~】
Now let's see how Cang Zhihe tries to cause trouble.
She rolled up the dried paper, stuffed it into her sleeve, and walked towards Jun Ce's room.
Zhiying was reporting to Junce from inside the room.
"My lord, Helian Kuangmo has already issued an order, commanding Wu Muyou and Hu Lieyunxiao to come and support Haimu City. If they discover the mineral vein, it may cause a bloodbath."
Jun Ce sat at the table, sanding a ball in his hand. His hands moved continuously, but a cryptic smile appeared on his lips.
"Is that so? I'm not worried that they won't start fighting."
Zhiying stared at the Dragon Roar Stone in his hand, somewhat astonished.
Since the Lord came to this city of Haimu, he has been polishing this transparent stone every day. He has seen it go from square to round, and now it is almost reflective, yet he is still polishing it.
The figure withdrew its gaze, paused for a long while, and said, "Does the master intend to... use the mine matter to incite internal strife in Nansang?"
He clenched his right fist and slammed it into his palm, looking as if he had just realized something.
"That's right! How could I not have thought of that!"
"Liu Taiqing is ambitious, Wu Muyou is the eldest son of the Wu family and has always craved power, and Hu Lieyunxiao is an invincible general with a proud and arrogant attitude. If they all knew that there were mineral veins in Haimu City, who knows what kind of fight would break out!"
"This Helian Kuangmo is going to have a terrible headache!"
Jun Ce glanced at him with the corner of his eye.
"You seem to have become much more perceptive lately."
The figure chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head, "Hehe, you flatter me, my lord."
The brain, naturally, becomes sharper the more you use it.
He has been cramming on a lot of knowledge lately, but he still feels that there is still a long way to go!
The lord is about to die out, and there will be no choice but to select a successor from outside. How can he not take it seriously and carefully select and cultivate a suitable successor for the lord?
He really worries himself sick over the Lord's future care!
Jun Ce didn't notice the changing expressions on his face, and instead used a finer sandpaper to polish the ball in his hand.
The smooth sphere is as clear as crystal.
Alone, however, began to worry.
"My lord, what if they really find the mine and make gunpowder... then what should we do?"
"Even if we make a fake treasure map, how can we make them believe it?"
bang bang bang-
There was a knock on the door.
"Who?" The lone figure asked warily.
"It's me." It was Cang Zhihe.
Jun Ce raised the Dragon Roar Stone in his hand and blew on it. He glanced at the lone figure with a somewhat casual look and said, "The person who made them believe has arrived."
