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

Li Bao'er's thoughts began to wander to why the original owner of this body had disguised herself as a man.

First, Li Baobao's family has no heir to the throne (Li Bao'er made a joke about this in her spare time); second, Li Baobao's family has no shortage of male members, as he has an older brother; third, this family does not discriminate against girls, and through Li Bao'er's brief observation, she knows that the younger sister, Sanya, is lively, innocent, and does not lack food or clothing. Excluding all the conventional reasons why a girl in a family would be raised as a boy, the only remaining reason is—this family has a secret!

Damn it! What kind of lousy conclusion is this?! I was trying to solve a mystery, and now I've got another one! Li Bao'er was so angry at her own analysis that she threw herself back onto the bed, feeling deflated. She thought to herself, "I might as well go back to sleep. I'm not Zhuge Liang. Why should I be able to solve a mystery in one night?"

Just as she was drifting off to sleep, Li Bao'er felt something flash through her mind, something important that she had overlooked. She thought sleepily, "I'll think about it tomorrow, I don't want to think about it anymore," and then she fell asleep.

The next day, Li Bao'er found Zheng Xi, the general's adjutant, and asked him like a homesick child if he could write a letter home for her (Li Bao'er can't write traditional Chinese calligraphy, which doesn't fit her character). She said that Adjutant Zheng was the most cultured person she knew, and his handwriting must be the most beautiful. Her family would definitely think they knew an extraordinary person when they saw it.

Although Zheng Xi was already in his thirties, he still couldn't escape the fate of being dominated by "male child psychology." He pouted and laughed, cursing that the brat was always causing him trouble, while taking out his precious paper and writing a letter home based on Li Bao'er's dictation. After finishing, he took it upon himself to say: You don't need to worry about sending the letter.

Li Bao'er praised Deputy Zheng again and again, saying that Brother Zheng was capable and could not be stumped by anything, that Brother Zheng was the most heroic and straightforward man he knew, and that he was simply a great hero whose loyalty was worth a thousand pieces of gold, just like the storyteller described... Deputy Zheng was so moved that he almost wanted to recognize Li Bao'er as his godson, thinking that he must take good care of this discerning young man in the future!

However, Li Bao'er hadn't walked far when Zheng Xi called her back. He frowned and clicked his tongue, saying, "But our garrison will be transferred back to the capital in a month, so you won't be able to get a reply!"

Li Bao'er's letter was very simple. Besides expressing her longing and rambling about the daily life in the army, she also included a couple of personal questions: "Has our family always stayed in Menglian Mountain? Did Father and Grandfather ever go to school?"

Li Bao'er asked very carefully and cautiously. She thought that if Li Bao's ancestors were not commoners, they must have been educated!

Just as Zheng Xi called her back, Li Bao'er remembered something crucial: Li Bao'er's purpose in entering the military camp was to find his older brother, Li Bei. So... is it possible that the person Peng Zizheng hates is the original owner's older brother, Li Bei? As Li Bei's younger brother, it's reasonable for Li Bao'er to resemble Li Bei.

Thinking of this, she quickly asked Zheng Xi to add a sentence at the end of the letter: Mother, do I look like my eldest brother? There are many people here named Li Bei. I was thinking that if others think I look like my eldest brother, they can look for someone based on my appearance.

After adding that sentence, Deputy Officer Zheng frowned slightly, narrowed his eyes, and stared at Li Bao'er with a scrutinizing look, his tone carrying a hint of stern interrogation: "Your older brother's name is Li Bei? How old is he? What's his birthday?"

Li Bao'er felt a sudden chill run down her spine. Her hair stood on end, and she thought with utter despair: I'm going to die!

If the general truly hates Li Bei, then Zheng Xi will definitely know! How could I forget that! Li Bao'er, Li Bao'er, you're always so careful and calculating, but in the end you've just washed your own throat and offered yourself up to someone else's blade!
