Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

Xiao You struggled to stand still, burning with anger. He pointed his trembling finger at Xiao Zhixue and accused her hoarsely, "You unlucky star. First you killed my grandmother, and now you are harming our whole family, right? As long as you are here, there will be no peace for a single day!"

He muttered to himself, his right eyelid twitching non-stop today. He thought that meeting Wang and Xiao Yunkai again on the escape was a good omen, but he didn't expect to encounter such a misfortune as soon as he stepped into the military camp.

The resentment in his heart found an outlet, and he believed that all the misfortunes were caused by Xiao Zhixue, this "ominous person".

Wang and Xiao Yunkai witnessed all this. The anger in their eyes could almost materialize into sharp blades. They wished they could get rid of it immediately.

Zhang Yu observed their expressions and saw that there was an obvious rift between them and Xiao Zhixue. His original dissatisfaction with Xiao Zhixue doubled because of this discovery.

After all, the high-ranking general's attitude towards Xiao Zhixue was too unusual. Not only did he treat her with great courtesy, he also arranged special accommodation for her and allowed her to spend the night in the barracks.

At the moment, the hostility of these people seemed to confirm one of his guesses.

So, Zhang Yu added a hint of amusement to his tone and deliberately asked, "Do any of you know Miss Xiao?"

Although Xiao You did not dare to disobey Zhang Yu directly, the look he gave Xiao Zhixue was filled with deep hatred and disdain.

"My Lord, she was once a member of my family, but she was a fool who caused trouble. Later, the family was divided and the relationship between us became distant."

After he finished speaking, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and that smile hid too many unknown stories and sadness.

Zhang Yu was silent for a moment, his eyes gently swept across Xiao Zhixue's face, and then he resolutely led Xiao You and his family through the intricate defenses of the camp, slowly moving towards the tents where the prisoners were held.

Xiao Zhixue stopped for a moment, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, then she turned around and set foot on the path to Gu Huairen's tent again, with an unknown determination in her steps.

Outside the tent, the sun was scorching hot and the guards stood like sculptures, their armor shining coldly in the sun.

Noticing Xiao Zhixue's return, a burly guard quickly stepped forward, blocking her way with his broad palm like a solid wall, and said expressionlessly: "Without the general's order, no one is allowed to enter without permission."

Xiao Zhixue knew it well, but she did not back down. She smiled gently, slid her fingers deep into her collar, and took out an exquisitely carved token with a faint luster.

The token gleamed slightly in the sunlight, as if carrying some power that should not be underestimated.

"Here is the token. I have urgent business to attend to and need to see General Gu. Please give me some convenience."

When the soldiers saw the token, they bowed their heads respectfully and made way for it.

Xiao Zhixue secretly rejoiced in her heart, with a barely perceptible smile on her lips. She gently lifted the heavy curtain and stepped into Gu Huairen's tent.

Inside the tent, the candlelight flickered. Fan Yanmu leaned lazily on the bed with a dazed look in his eyes, as if he was immersed in thinking about the entanglement between Xiao Zhixue and Gu Tingxuan.

Xiao Zhixue's sudden appearance made him sit up straight, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Gu Huairen was also surprised. He frowned slightly and wondered in his heart, could it be that Xiao Zhixue had changed her mind and wanted to return the precious jade pendant she had given him?

However, before he could ask, Xiao Zhixue had already strode up to him, sat down calmly, and a bright smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, like the warm spring sun, instantly warming the entire tent.

"General Gu, I have a favor to ask of you. I hope you can lend me a hand and give me a helping hand."

Gu Huairen subconsciously stroked the warm jade pendant in his arms, his eyes revealing determination, as if silently declaring his sovereignty.

"If you have anything to ask for, please speak up. But let me make it clear that I, Gu Huairen, will not return this jade pendant."

His words were spoken with unquestionable firmness.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhixue couldn't help but laugh. Her voice was soft but powerful: "General Gu, you are worrying too much. I am not here for the jade pendant today. As for my request, let me explain it in detail later."

At this moment, the curtain moved, and Zhang Yu walked into the tent with firm steps, his face serious and earnest.

"General, I encountered three people acting suspiciously in the town. After questioning, I learned that they claimed to be Miss Xiao's relatives, so I brought them back to the camp."

Gu Huairen then turned his gaze to Xiao Zhixue, and saw that there was a gleam of joy in her eyes, but also a barely perceptible coldness.

Gu Huairen said with a hint of joking in his tone, "Since they are Miss Xiao's relatives, they should be reunited."

After saying this, he observed Xiao Zhixue's reaction calmly, but he was already making plans in his mind.

Xiao Zhixue's smile did not diminish, but she did not respond directly. Instead, she changed the subject and directly put forward her request: "General Gu, this is exactly the purpose of my trip. Although my second uncle has a disability, he is extremely brave on the battlefield; my cousin is even more muscular and strong as an ox. If he can join the army, he will definitely be a brave warrior who charges into battle."

When Gu Huairen heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The army is currently short of manpower, so he naturally does not want to miss any opportunity to enhance its combat effectiveness.

If it is true as Xiao Zhixue said that these two people can add strength to the army, then he is definitely willing to give them a chance.

So he decisively ordered: "Zhang Yu, prepare military uniforms for them and incorporate them into our team."

Zhang Yu originally wanted to take this opportunity to create trouble for Xiao Zhixue, but he never expected the result to be like this.

But he changed his mind and realized that he had nothing to do with those three people. If he could use this opportunity to expand his military strength, why not do it?

As for whether they were really as brave as Xiao Zhixue said, that was not something he could worry about.

Life and death on the battlefield is determined by fate. This is the fate of every soldier.

Just as Zhang Yu was about to follow orders, he was stopped by Xiao Zhixue's voice: "General Gu, I want to go see them in person."

Gu Huairen smiled tolerantly and responded, "Miss Xiao, please do as you wish."

Xiao Zhixue nodded with a smile and followed Zhang Yu out of the tent.

However, Fan Yanmu couldn't figure out Xiao Zhixue's true intentions.

In his memory, there seemed to be irreconcilable conflicts between Xiao Zhixue and her family members.

The vague worry in his heart prompted him to follow quietly, trailing Xiao Zhixue towards the prisoners' tent.

Outside the tent, Xiao You's voice was filled with sarcasm: "That disaster girl must have been unable to make it out there, so she actually ran to the army to make a living!"

Wang's mouth curled up into an icy arc, with a hint of disdain and resentment in that sneer, "God is fair after all. He remembers every evil deed inflicted on our family. Now that she can attract so many men around her, I'm sure she will wake up from her dreams laughing at night."

After saying this, her eyes flashed with a sense of pleasure after revenge.
