The sky was turning pale as a fish belly, and the rosy glow of the sunset was golden, making the rows of round tents look like golden buns.

As Rong Yan was walking back, someone called out from behind.

"Captain, Captain..."

Rong Yan turned around and saw a soldier with big ears rubbing his hands, looking embarrassed.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

Chen Maoer's injured waist and hips always hurt at night. Even after applying medicine, he still couldn't sleep.

When people can't sleep, they often miss home. He would go for a walk by the river when he had nothing to do. But last night he accidentally discovered that the new captain also did not sleep in the middle of the night, and even sneaked into Ah Si's tent.

He stayed outside all night, but the adult didn't come out.

Chen Maoer began to reflect deeply on himself, wondering if he had wronged his younger brother Ah Si. A man who could cry so hard because he missed his wife must have a soft personality.

That's why he first succumbed to the strong-willed Yan Niang, and then succumbed to the even stronger-willed Captain.

Being weak in character is a big taboo in the military camp. Just like when he first arrived, he was bullied all day long and was at the mercy of others, and he didn't dare to say anything.

He thought about it all night and finally mustered up the courage to help Ah Si.

"Sir, where did you come back from?"

Rong Yan didn't say anything, his pupils were as bright as gold under the sunset glow, and his aura was quite intimidating.

Chen Maoer's heart trembled when he was looked at. The words had already been spoken, so he could only continue, "Sir, you didn't go to his tent just because you saw Ah Si's handsome appearance, did you?"

Rong Yan didn't expect to be caught by someone. His eyebrows were stern and he asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Mao'er was shocked that he did not deny it. Here, the emperor was far away and the people were rough and unrestrained. No matter whether the family was married or not, as long as they liked each other, they could snatch the person away.

There were many people in the military camp who were from inside the country, not to mention those from outside the country, and many of them ate both meat and vegetables.

Although the captain looks like he doesn't want strangers to approach him, could he be a homosexual...

Chen Mao'er's family tradition is simple and kind, and he said anxiously, "Sir, I know you may be too sad because of the recent loss of your wife, but no matter how sad you are, you can't..."

Rong Yan frowned heavily and interrupted him, "Who said I lost my wife?"

Chen Mao'er was stunned.

When this gentleman showed up for the first time, he had an extraordinary demeanor, but his face was colder than the water of the Tuhati River in winter.

People in the military camp were talking about him privately, saying that he looked like a man whose wife had just died and that he reeked of a widower, and that they must not bring bad luck upon him.

"You're not sad, are you?" Chen Maoer thought he had misunderstood and cleverly changed the subject, "Then are you, are you and your wife still in good terms?"

Rong Yan only replied with one word, "Okay."

Hearing him say this, Chen Maoer became a little anxious. "You have a wife at home who you are in love with, and Ah Si also has a wife who he loves to death and lives in love with. If you did something that forced others to do something, it would be very, very wrong."

The long wind blew across the grassland, causing Rong Yan's clothes to flutter. His gaze passed over Chen Mao'er and fell on the door of Zhu Zheng's tent.

"They loved each other to death and lived in love..." Rong Yan's eyes were somewhat unpredictable, "Did she say that herself?"

"Yes, yes! It's absolutely true!" Chen Mao'er saw that things were turning around, and hurriedly added, "Ah Si talks about his wife all day long. The couple are newlyweds, but they live apart. They miss each other all night long and can't sleep."

Seeing that Rong Yan seemed to be touched, he said anxiously, "My Lord, you have read the books of sages and know the truth. You will definitely not do something that will ruin someone's marriage, right?"

Facing Chen Maoer's hot and fearful accusing gaze, Rong Yan suddenly smiled.

In the past few days, Zhu Zheng had repeatedly warned him not to make their relationship public, and he was feeling quite uneasy.

I have always been overly concerned about her reaction, and I am also a little worried.

Chen Maoer was horrified by his laughter, "Sir, what are you laughing at?"

Rong Yan said nothing more and walked away briskly.

Chen Maoer couldn't keep up with his pace and fell behind, "Captain..."

In the end, I never heard a single "no" from this adult's mouth.

Chen Mao'er returned to the tent with his heart in turmoil. After much thought, he realized that today's indirect attacks had already required all the strength of three lifetimes. If he wanted to save Ah Si from the dire straits, he couldn't rely on himself alone.

So Chen Maoer told Yan Niang about this matter.

When Yanniang heard this, she was immediately furious. Chen Maoer didn't know that Ah Si was a girl, but Yanniang knew what she looked like.

These high-ranking officials from the capital have always done whatever they want. Although Ah Si is so cautious, someone still set their sights on her.

This captain looks like a decent human being, but it turns out he is a beast in human clothing. He really thinks that Ah Si is an orphan with no relatives and no one to support her, right?

Yan Niang rolled up her sleeves and immediately went to find Rong Yan to ask for an explanation.

But the result was nothing.

Upon asking, it was found out that Rong Yan was called by City Lord He to the City Lord's Camp to discuss matters a moment ago.

After calming down for a while, Yanniang prepared to find Zhu Zheng and ask her to move back and live with her first.

Unexpectedly, I came up empty-handed.

After asking around, a soldier said that he saw her being taken away by the major general to do some official business.

Yan Niang was surprised and asked, "The young general never likes people to follow him, so why did he bring a messenger with him this time?"

It's not just Yan Niang who feels strange, Zhu Zheng also feels strange.

Not long after she sent Rong Yan out, she ran into Wen Fenghan at the door of the tent.

Wen Fenghan was not wearing armor today, but dressed in cloth. He told her that he was going to Hudong Ferry and asked Zhu Zheng to go with him.

Zhu Zheng didn't really want to be alone with him, and tried to refuse, but failed.

I had no choice but to mount my horse and follow him.

The two walked side by side along the river without saying a word.

The river breeze makes people feel cool on their bodies and in their hearts.

Because of what happened a few days ago when Wen Fenghan caught her, Zhu Zheng felt quite embarrassed to see him.

Although Wen Fenghan came from Shengjing, her relationship with Rong Yan had never been revealed to others, and it could even be said that they had no relationship at all.

Just like this, two people who had nothing to do with each other suddenly slept on the same couch and played a "room game" in which they tied each other up.

If a storybook is written like this, I'm afraid you can't buy it in a serious bookstore...

Zhu Zheng knew that Wen Fenghan had definitely not forgotten it, so she kept repeating two or three sentences in her mind. After a while, she suddenly explained, "Actually, the Captain and I...are already married."

Wen Fenghan glanced at her and asked, "Are you still asleep?"

Zhu Zheng: “…”

Forget it, there's nothing to say to him.

Rong Yan had a decent reputation, but she had a bad reputation, and in Wen Fenghan's eyes she was even more of a "witch". Even if he thought of her climbing into bed to seduce him, it at least didn't seem so "absurd".

Anyway, I must reveal it before leaving, so I can scare him then!

So Zhu Zheng said nothing more.

Hudong Ferry is not far from Langguan City. Like Tatuo Town, it is prosperous because merchant ships and caravans must pass through it. However, as the largest ferry in Chixi, it is more lively.

There was a bustling crowd of people coming and going. The two of them left their horses at the post station, and Wen Fenghan took Zhu Zheng to the ferry.

Zhu Zheng asked blankly, "Major General, where are we going?"

Wen Fenghan said calmly, "You'll know when you get there."

Zhu Zheng was speechless for a while. Not long after she got up in the morning and sent Rong Yan away, she ran into Wen Fenghan. She didn't even have time to eat a bite of food as her stomach was rumbling.

He didn't know how long his work would take, so Zhu Zheng couldn't help but ask, "Um, Major General, can we go eat something first?"

Wen Fenghan stopped, hesitated for a moment, and took her into a small restaurant.

The restaurant was full of people. Zhu Zheng ordered two small dishes and some pancakes. While waiting for the food to be served, she looked around.

Because Rong Yan always attacked her at any time and anywhere, Zhu Zheng was afraid that he would be poisoned, so she no longer dared to put makeup on her face.

Although the pretty face was half hidden in the deerskin hat, it was still as bright as a pearl, and could not block the gazes that came from time to time.

Zhu Zheng was attracted by the colorful hats decorated with feathers and turquoise of the Chixi people, and did not pay attention to anyone looking at her.

Sitting nearby was a fat, big-eared man in green, his mouth full of greasy food and his eyes even more greasy, lingering on the half of Zhu Zheng's face that was exposed.

Wen Fenghan averted his gaze and said in a cold voice, "If you look at me again, I'll dig your eyeballs out."

The man in green then noticed the tall man next to Zhu Zheng, "Why, is she your lover?"

Wen Fenghan's face darkened, "Be careful or I'll tear your mouth apart."

The man in green had already noticed the strange behavior of the two and said provocatively, "Mind your own business. I wasn't looking at you, you ugly bastard with a rotten face."

When Zhu Zheng noticed it, the green-dressed man and his group had already started to tease each other, their voices were neither too loud nor too low, and occasionally a few words could be heard.

"With a face so disfigured, I wouldn't dare go out on the street to scare people."

"There's a veil shop next door, why don't you go buy one and wear it."

"You're protecting your food, don't you think you're worthy of it?"

……

Wen Fenghan had a long scar on his face, which stretched from his brow to his jaw, running through his entire face. One could imagine how dangerous the injury was, but fortunately his nose bridge was high enough to prevent his eyelids from being cut off.

Zhu Zheng had never covered her scar when she saw him before. How could a general with a scar be called ugly? There were ten thousand ways to respond to such remarks.

Unexpectedly, his face froze and he fell silent.

This Wen Fenghan is such a coward. He was so vicious when he talked about her, but why is he silent now?

Zhu Zheng was furious at the lack of resistance, so she grabbed a pair of chopsticks from the table and smashed them towards the table.

"Have you said enough?"
