Chapter 92: Thinking of the Beautiful Woman Under the Moon in the Military Camp (Additional Update)
Wang Hong answered out of habit, which almost made Ge Huzi suffocate, so he spoke angrily with a frown.
"Does your family have any leverage over the young general? Why would you want to be a live-in son-in-law? What's wrong with Hanzhou? We have so many brothers, can the young general really bear to let him go?"
His cursing appearance made Wang Hong laugh and he hit him on the chest. It wasn't hard, but the meaning was very clear. Then he spoke in defense.
"What handle?! It's obvious that the Major General couldn't bear to leave my cousin and insisted on settling in Xijing City. Do you think our Wang family really wants to marry my cousin here? If the Major General hadn't sworn on his left and right, my grandmother would not have been willing to give her up. My cousin is the most beautiful woman in Dasui, and she is more than qualified to be with the Major General!"
Wang Hong's words made Ge Huzi doubt for a moment. Although he also thought that the pretty boy in front of him was good-looking, he would not just pick out any cousin and call her the most beautiful. He had not seen many women, and in his eyes, the most beautiful one was the eldest girl Pei Ziyao, so he asked curiously again.
"Prettier than our eldest girl?"
"Not the same type, but I do think my cousin is better looking."
Wang Hong had no guilt in saying this. Perhaps it was his serious answer that made Ge Huzi curious. How beautiful would the future wife of this major general be?
"Okay, stop talking about these nonsense. You look like you want to get married, right? Hahaha, why don't you wait for the young lady to get married and ask her to help find a wife?"
"Come on, you'd better let me live a quiet life. Look at the sister-in-law of the old Fang family. She is so fierce. I don't want to live a life where I go to the battlefield to fight the enemy and then get beaten up by my wife when I get home."
“There are also gentle and lovely ones.”
"Hey, let's talk about it again!"
The two chatted and laughed as they walked to other places in the army, while Yue Sheng stayed in the military tent with his major general, staying up late with a lamp on, reading military newspapers until midnight.
Yue Sheng brought over some still hot pancakes and porridge, and then handed them to Pei Zisu.
He didn't mind at all. He could eat fine grains as well as coarse rice. He said it only after he had solved the problem of filling his stomach quickly and decisively.
"What time is it?"
"It's two quarters past midnight."
The soldiers went to bed early, so they were sleeping soundly at this moment. Pei Zisu stood up and gave an order.
"You go to sleep first. I'll go outside for a patrol and take a walk to eat."
"I'd better stay with the young general. I'm not sleepy either."
Pei Zisu looked at his spirit and found that he was indeed fine, so he did not say anything and led his men out of the military tent. The moon outside was about to become full again, and he had been away from Xijing City for nearly half a month.
As we walked along, the army was very quiet everywhere.
Occasionally, he could hear the snoring of soldiers and the crackling sounds in the braziers, which made him feel at ease. He had spent the longest time in the army over the years, and compared to the high couches and soft pillows in Xijing City, he preferred the fierce and vigorous atmosphere in the Hanzhou Army.
The night in July is not too cold.
As they were walking, they met a team that was also on patrol. They were still very afraid of Pei Zisu, so after greeting them nervously, they continued to do what they were supposed to do.
The corners of Yue Sheng's mouth slightly raised. His own young general was obviously still at an age where he could act recklessly and heroically, but because he had to convince the generals in the army, he had become more serious and majestic with a sense of shrewdness. He didn't know if he would have the same attitude towards the young lady in the room after they got married in a few days!
As I was thinking, I didn't notice that the person in front of me stopped and I bumped into him. Fortunately, the collision was not serious.
"I was distracted, please forgive me, Major General." "What are you thinking about? Are you so engrossed?"
"After the eldest lady came back, she spread the word in the army that the young general was going to get married. So I was wondering if the young lady would stay in the army or return to the old house if she married?"
The old house is the residence of their Pei family.
Because it has been passed down from generation to generation, outsiders call it that.
"She won't go to either place. She can just live in my villa. Maybe after getting married, she will go back to Xijing City with her family. So there's no need to make such a big fuss."
"Ah? Doesn't the young lady live in our Hanzhou?"
"Well, I promised not to make it difficult for her to marry far away."
The moonlight was as cool as water, and when it shone on Pei Zisu's face, it gave him a sense of inexplicable tenderness. Yue Sheng could see that his young general really had good intentions towards this young lady whom he had never met.
"You don't have to stay with me these few days. Go to the other courtyard and pack up first. The wedding will be held in the old house as usual, but we will go back to the other courtyard if we want to stay. In addition, clean up all the guest rooms. I estimate that there will be many people coming at that time."
"My subordinate understands."
Pei Zisu was obviously going to return to Xijing City, but he still explained everything in detail. It has always been his habit not to live in the old house, and he doesn't like the beautiful women in the mansion.
Especially that Aunt An and the scheming second sister.
Therefore, he was too lazy to worry about those people, and naturally did not want his cousin Anian to deal with them. Anyway, he had been used to doing whatever he wanted in the clan over the years, and his father couldn't do anything about him, so he would probably approve of this matter.
After walking around the camp for a while, Pei Zisu turned back to rest.
They woke up before dawn and began to train new recruits. The Pei family army camp was different from other armies in Dasui. There was always fresh blood here. If there were any trained soldiers, they would be sent to various cities in Hanzhou.
Especially in Fancheng, which is resisting at the front line. The general Tang Yu who is guarding there requested for another 10,000 troops a few months ago, so the camp is also drawing troops from all over the place. Now it has begun to take shape, and these people can be sent to Fancheng by the end of the year at the latest.
Therefore, we cannot relax at all.
The person who trained the new recruits was none other than Ge Huzi. Although he looked big and strong, he was very tactful in training the soldiers, and clear in rewards and punishments. Therefore, even the rebellious soldiers were very respectful to him.
After the third round of fighting between the soldiers, Ge Huzi shouted in a loud voice.
"Aren't you guys clamoring to see the young general every day? He's here today, asking if anyone wants to challenge him? Anyone who can remain undefeated within thirty moves will be awarded the position of a centurion!"
Hundred households?!
How can these people become centurions when they haven't even been on a real battlefield? Just being undefeated within thirty moves? Is that enough?
The conditions were too tempting, and soon people were ready to take action.
Pei Zisu glanced at Ge Huzi. This old guy really knew how to find things for him to do. He casually asked for the position of a centurion. I wondered if he was in charge of the military registration of Pei's army.
However, he also knew that Ge Huzi was trying to "pour cold water" on the new recruits, so he did not refute. He walked up to the training platform with his hands behind his back, and then spoke briefly and clearly.
"I agree with what Vice General Ge said."
Upon hearing this, several of the best recruits below immediately shouted their names at the top of their lungs, and then went up to the training stage to challenge!
