Traveling through an ancient military camp: Bao'er's survival song

Zheng Xi's words startled Peng Zizheng. He subconsciously raised his arm and sniffed it a few times, and sure enough, a fresh and delicate feminine fragrance lingered on it. Peng Zizheng then thought of when he had previously restrained Wu Suining; the young woman had practically been in his arms, and that was probably when he picked up the scent. Peng Zizheng's face flushed slightly, and without paying any attention, he strode back to his room.

Zheng Xi, who was lagging behind Peng Zizheng, laughed at Peng Zizheng and said, "Hey, you're getting shy now. The young man has grown up and knows how to take care of himself."

Zheng Xi dared to say that, but Xiao Bing didn't dare to; he could only chuckle awkwardly.

Zheng Xi walked back cheerfully, but as he passed Li Bao'er's room, his mood suddenly plummeted. He couldn't help but mutter, "I wonder where that brat has gone. He hasn't sent a single word, whether he's dead or alive. He doesn't treat me like his master at all, damn it!"

The soldier following him heard Lieutenant Zheng mutter something, grunted, and looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't. Zheng Xi stopped and cursed, "Spit it out!"

The soldier quickly replied, "The day before the general was assassinated, Brother Li sent a message to Lord Zheng to arrange a meeting, but you were away on business at the time, so the general went in your place..."

The soldier's voice trailed off. He figured the general hadn't kept this from anyone, so he should be able to tell Lieutenant Zheng...

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xi clicked his tongue in anger. He didn't even return to his room, turning to find Peng Zizheng. The messenger immediately panicked. What was going on with Lord Zheng? Then came a clattering noise from the general's room, accompanied by Lord Zheng's cursing: "You little bastard! Why didn't you tell me Bao Bao wanted to see me? You even went to see him for me? I may be your adjutant, but I'm still your uncle! Now that you're a general, you think you can treat your uncle like dirt? You little bastard..."

The soldiers quickly returned to their posts, each busy with their own "serious business".

The general inside didn't know how he appeased "Uncle Zheng," but Lieutenant Zheng quickly came out, yelled "Prepare the horses!" in a foul tone, and then left the mansion.

Peng Zizheng was beaten by Zheng Xi, but he didn't forget his business. He called out to a soldier, "Go to Luogu Lane and see if Shi Miao has returned. Tell him to come see me."

Luogu Lane is very close to the Guide General's Mansion. When Shi Miao heard that Peng Zizheng was looking for him, he immediately came over happily.

When Shi Miao arrived, Peng Zizheng sat in the main hall and ignored him, letting him jump around for a while before finally saying, "You sit there quietly and wait for someone with me."

Shi Miao jumped onto the chair, sat down crookedly, and casually asked, "Waiting for whom? Who's so important that they'd make you, General, wait?"

"Lord Zhao, the Chief Justice of the Imperial Prison."

Shi Miao suddenly leaped onto the roof beam, her voice cracking as she asked, "What do you want with him?!"

"We caught a thief who stole from the royal palace, so we'll fill the empty seats in the imperial prison for him."

"My general, I really didn't do any work! Isn't this all in the past?"

"Whether it was done or not, Lord Zhao will know after investigating."

"Goodbye!" With that, Shi Miao leaped toward the window, but Peng Zizheng threw a teacup at her, hitting her in the neck, and then rushed forward before she landed, twisting her arms behind her back.

Once restrained, Shi Miao rolled her eyes and said, "Alright, stop going through all that trouble. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
