Chapter 175 The wizard has also taken a liking to her?
A thin figure was busy inside.
Zhai Sangjie's gaze fell on him, and her wildly beating heart instantly calmed down.
It's a man.
But why does it feel so familiar...?
He frowned and strode into the kitchen.
Gu Xiruo was so busy that she didn't notice and bumped into the cold armor when she turned around.
"Ah! It hurts..." She covered her nose, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes.
Zhai Sangjie looked at her with some dissatisfaction, his tone slightly reprimanding: "How can a grown man be so delicate!"
Gu Xiruo met his gaze with a hint of grievance, her eyes welling up with even more tears.
Woohoo...
The general is so fierce...
So this is how fierce the general is normally...
Her lips trembled, and a tear swayed in the corner of her eye before falling with a soft thud.
The soldiers outside were extremely anxious upon seeing this.
"Oh dear, why did the General have to come when Little Gu was making pancakes!"
"Will we still be able to eat this pancake?"
"Everyone knows that Xiao Gu is a crybaby. The general is really something, who says men can't cry!"
"It's just two small pearls that fell out!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down! If the general hears you, you'll be punished by being forced into a horse stance!"
General Pang Zhong quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "General, we all know that Xiao Gu is a bit of a crybaby."
Zhai Sangjie looked at the soldiers lining up outside the door, and everyone nodded in unison.
His gaze returned to Pang Zhong's face.
"But Xiao Gu is quite strong. He has never complained about the hardships or fatigue along the way, even in the wind and snow. He has been so dedicated to cooking for everyone. General, please don't take it personally with him."
Everyone pleaded for her.
"Yes, General. Last time when we passed through the mud, Xiao Gu cut his foot. Although he shed a lot of tears, he still followed the main force down the muddy ground. The young man is quite strong."
"Yes, yes, and that time when the heavy snow blocked the mountain, we were trapped for two days, and everyone was freezing. It was Xiao Gu who came up with a way to start a fire for us."
"Yes, and there was that time in the misty forest. Xiao Gu and the others went to find a water source, but they got caught in a hunting net. Although they came back crying, they still brought us water."
"And that time..."
The soldiers started chattering amongst themselves.
Come to think of it, Xiao Gu has actually done quite a lot for everyone!
Although he cried, it didn't stop him from working!
Zhai Sangjie's gaze fell on Gu Xiruo's feet, and Gu Xiruo guiltily avoided his gaze.
Seeing this, Pang Zhong stepped forward and stood in front of Gu Xiruo.
Seeing her huddled behind Pang Zhong, Zhai Sangjie felt inexplicably irritated. He waved his hand and awkwardly comforted her, "Alright, alright, stop crying."
"If you keep crying, your pancake will burn."
Gu Xiruo exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly went to check the pancakes in the pot.
The soldiers all wiped their foreheads and breathed a sigh of relief.
That's great, Xiao Gu still remembers their pancakes.
Zhai Sangjie stared at Gu Xiruo's retreating figure, finding her increasingly familiar. "What's your name?"
Gu Xiruo's back stiffened.
“I…I am Gu Sui.”
Gu Sui...
Zhai Sangjie lowered his head and pondered.
Pang Zhong smirked and said, "General, would you like to try Little Gu's pancakes?"
Gu Xiruo's ears twitched, and she quickly took out a freshly baked pancake, tore off half of it, and presented it to Zhai Sangjie.
His dark eyes shone brightly, as if he were eagerly anticipating a taste.
Looking at her, Zhai Sangjie felt inexplicably happy.
"Why is there only half a piece?"
He picked up the cake, and its enticing aroma wafted into his nose.
Gu Xiruo pointed to a group of soldiers outside the kitchen who were eagerly waiting to be fed, and said seriously, "Each person only has a quarter of a piece, and the general has already eaten half a piece more than he should have."
Zhai Sangjie paused, tore off half a piece, and handed it to her, saying, "That general will be just like them."
Gu Xiruo handed the half-piece in her hand to Pang Zhong, who happily took it and started to bite into it.
"Ah, it's so hot!"
But my heart was filled with joy.
Hehe, he knew that if he followed the general, he would get to eat cakes!
Zhai Sangjie took a bite, and his mouth moved involuntarily. In just a few moments, he finished the pancake in his hand.
He looked at Pang Zhong, who immediately stuffed the remaining biscuit into his mouth, his cheeks puffed out and his eyes wide open, as if afraid he would snatch the food away.
Zhai Sangjie: ...
The pancake was given out too early.

Nansang military camp.
Hu Lieyunxiao entered the tent and saw Zhai Rongyu sitting blankly on the bed. He touched the roof of his mouth with the tip of his tongue.
He stepped forward and pinched her chin. The smooth touch of his fingertips instantly aroused his desire, and his palm unconsciously caressed her face.
"I never expected you to be such a wonderful person."
Upon closer inspection, her beauty became even more breathtaking.
The only drawback is that her once bright and lively eyes have lost some of their sparkle.
However, it doesn't matter.
Hu Lieyunxiao wrapped his large hand around her delicate neck and pinched it slightly. Seeing that Zhai Rongyu did not react at all, he suddenly smiled.
"You toyed with me so much before, but now you're like a puppet in my hands. It's rather boring."
It would be more interesting if they could resist.
His rough fingers traced along Zhai Rongyu's neck, landing on the fabric at her collar. Just as he was about to untie it, the image of Huanzhen being humiliated suddenly flashed into his mind. Hu Lieyunxiao froze, a fierce glint in his eyes.
"Today, I'll play something different with you."
When Wu Muyou returned to his tent, he saw Hu Lieyunxiao holding a red rope and tying Zhai Rongyu to the bed.
"General Hulie, what are you doing!"
He walked over and pulled Hu Lieyunxiao off the bed.
Why did you blindfold her?
Wu Muyou felt a strange sensation. He waved his scepter and saw Zhai Rongyu sway her arm like a puppet, and the spirit snake could also sense her aura. Only then did he feel relieved.
Hu Lieyunxiao looked at him with some disdain: "The people are already here, what is the Great Wizard worried about?"
"She's already mine, what can't I do with her?"
"But you can't tie someone up like that!" Wu Muyou said, somewhat disapprovingly.
If word gets out, what will become of Nansang's military discipline and reputation?
"I will treat her the same way she treats me!" Hu Lieyunxiao said through gritted teeth.
Wu Muyou's expression remained calm, but a dark light surged within his eyes. "General Hulie has forgotten?"
"She was afflicted with my spirit curse."
The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
If we're talking about puppets, then Zhai Rongyu should also be considered his puppet.
Hu Lieyunxiao narrowed his eyes.
"The wizard has taken a liking to her too?"
“She is of extraordinary status, and I have other uses for her,” Wu Muyou said. “She might even be able to be used to blackmail Long Yan.”
Seeing Wu Muyou's confident assertion, Hu Lieyunxiao suddenly smiled knowingly.
Does Wu Muyou really think that no one knows what he's up to?
They are used to using national affairs as an excuse.
"Rest assured, wizard. Once I have avenged myself and have had my fill of her, I will hand over her broken body to you to deal with."
"Whether you kill me, torture me, or use me as a bargaining chip is up to you."
Seeing that Hu Lieyunxiao insisted on his own opinion, Wu Muyou's usually calm face showed a hint of anger.
"I told you, she's someone important, you can't touch her."
Hu Lieyunxiao was also furious, his rugged face sharpening. "If I insist on confronting you, what should the wizard do? Kill me?!"
