General's humble stand-in

Tao Zhuo managed to get out of bed in the afternoon, and since Gu Chan left, Tao Zhuo was like a fallen leaf being sucked into a turbulent vortex, after several struggles, she was still in pieces.

I can't figure out what Gu Yan's intention is, if he can continue to be unfeeling, maybe Tao Zhuo won't be in more pain than now.

The food on the table was already cold, and the medicine bowl on the side still had the last trace of warmth.At noon, Tao Zhuo was really sleepy tormented by the messy thoughts in his head, and vaguely knew in his sleep that Shen Feng had come in, but he left soon.

Master still treats me well, Tao Zhuo thought so.Sipping the decoction in small sips, he frowned bitterly after realizing it.

After lunch, Tao Zhuo got up and left the tent, he missed Xiaobao.

"Daddy." As soon as he stepped into Xu Tianlei's residence, Xiaobao's childish voice hit his ears, as if dispelling the lingering haze in Taozhuo's heart in an instant.

Picking up Xiao Bao who rushed over, Tao Zhuo exclaimed, "Why are you so heavy again?"

"Brother Tianlei always feeds me meat." Xiaobao held Taozhuo's cheeks with his chubby hands, "Daddy, can't you hold me anymore? Are you thin? It's my pretty brother who won't let you eat." Is it fleshy?"

The little baby had a bunch of questions, and Tao Zhuo didn't know where to start.

Xu Tianlei stepped forward and poked Xiaobao's forehead, "Your father is younger than me, why am I so awkward when you call his father my brother?"

"Then Daddy won't let me call you Daddy."

Xu Tianlei didn't react so fast, Xiaobao read it twice in his head before he understood what Xiaobao meant, and then he glanced at Taozhuo, "Why are you so stingy."

"When will I be generous?"

Xu Tianlei smiled, seeing Taozhuo's forehead dripping with sweat, he hurriedly took Xiaobao from his arms, "You are weak recently, take good care of it, I will take care of Xiaobao for you, you don't have to worry about it."

"Thank you."

The hot sunlight penetrated into the tent, casting a layer of softness on Xu Tianlei's side cheeks.Tao Zhuo thought of a saying, wearing a dragon robe doesn't look like a prince.And Xu Tianlei was like this, he was also a general in the army, but he didn't have the bloodthirsty aura of Gu Yan or Cheng Ziyuan.

At this moment, someone from outside the account passed on, "Lieutenant Xu, the general asked you to discuss matters."

"Got it." Xu Tianlei replied lazily.

Then he turned his head to look at Tao Zhuo, and complained helplessly, "The exemption card has been hung up for several days, and I think it's time to withdraw it. You take care of Xiaobao first, I'm leaving."

Xu Tianlei's expression of reluctance and reluctance made Taozhuo suddenly think of Young Master Ling's evaluation of Xu Tianlei, that little cutie.I can't help but sigh in my heart, no one can escape the shackles of fate.

Playing with Xiaobao all afternoon, in the evening, Xiaobao rubbed his fleshy belly, "Daddy, I'm hungry."

When he shouted that he was hungry, Tao Zhuo also sang "Empty City Plan" in his stomach.

"Okay." Tao Zhuo rubbed Xiao Bao's soft hair, "You play by yourself first, and Daddy will find you something to eat."

The setting sun fell in the sky, and a few thick clouds half covered the faint golden color.Occasionally a light breeze would blow, carrying a dull dampness.On such a day, it seems that raindrops will fall at any time.

Walking to the food camp, Tao Zhuo slowed down.He saw a large group of people surrounded by the school grounds, their heads surging as if something serious had happened.

Tao Zhuo walked over curiously, and before he got close, he heard the blunt sound of the stick falling on his body.

Who is being punished?

Tao Zhuo stood on tiptoe to look in from outside the crowd, and saw Gu Yan kneeling on the ground through the slightest gap, and the soldier behind him with a stick mercilessly hit him on the back.

Immediately, the sound of punishment pierced through the eardrums and landed in Tao Zhuo's heart, causing a dull pain.

Tao Zhuo forced his way in, only to find that the hair on Gu Yan's temples was permeated with sweat when he got close, and beads of sweat were sliding down his forehead.There was a faint bright red on his back, and he frowned and gritted his teeth, letting the stick fall on him without making a sound.

—Cheng Ziyuan next to him had a solemn expression, and the number in his mouth rose little by little with the fall of the punishment rod, seventeen, eighteen...

Tao Zhuo anxiously wanted to step forward to stop him, but suddenly someone grabbed his sleeve from behind.

"Master?" Tao Zhuo turned around, only to see Shen Feng's face was indifferent.

"What's the matter?" Tao Zhuo hurriedly asked, "What mistake did he make? He hasn't fully recovered yet. Will this beating kill him?"

"He asked for it." There was dissatisfaction in Shen Feng's tone.

Tao Zhuo cast his eyes on Gu Yan again, the appearance of him enduring the pain made Tao Zhuo's heart clenched in one place.

"What happened?" Tao Zhuo asked anxiously again.

"Mo Zixi is gone."

Shen Feng's words made Taozhuo slightly taken aback, only to hear Shen Feng say again, "You must not leave without authorization during the discussion, but Gu Yan insists on going to find Mo Zizhi, and is willing to suffer the penalty of thirty battles. You say, this is not his own. What are you looking for?"

So this is ah……

Tao Zhuo lowered his eyes, and felt bitterness and soreness in his heart for a while, as if a certain place in his body was lightly hit, the pain was not obvious but he felt suffocated.

After that, Tao Zhuo didn't dare to look at Gu Yan until Cheng Ziyuan dropped the last number, thirty.

In normal times, thirty punishment sticks are nothing.It's just that Gu Yan just came back from the ghost gate, and this punishment is really too much to bear. If it wasn't for being supported by someone, it would have been difficult to get up.

"General, let the subordinates wait for you to find Mr. Mo, and please return to the camp to rest." Some soldiers persuaded.

Gu Yan stubbornly shook her head and refused, "I don't worry, you just guard the camp, and I'll take a few people out to look for it."

Passing by Tao Zhuo, Gu Yan's footsteps and gaze never stopped.

After returning to the tent, Taozhuo absently put the food on the table.Xiao Bao clumsily held the chopsticks and pulled the food into his mouth, his cheeks were so stuffed that he still didn't forget to ask Tao Zhuo, "Daddy, don't you want to eat?"

After asking three times in a row, Tao Zhuo came back to his senses.

"Huh? Oh, I'm not hungry."

Right now, he really wasn't hungry anymore, as if his body and mind had been hollowed out, but Gu Yan's wounded back filled the gap.

The sky was getting dark, Xiaobao was already lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, but Tao Zhuo was restless and didn't feel sleepy at all.

Distraught, he left the camp, just happened to meet Cheng Ziyuan and sent someone to look for him, Tao Zhuo quietly followed them out of the camp.Instead of suffering while waiting, it's better to go out and search. If you don't see someone, you will always feel uneasy.

The moon is in the sky, the stars are dazzling, and the cry of nightingales can be heard occasionally from the valley in the distance.

"General Cheng, General Gu has returned to the camp, and Mr. Mo has also returned."

"Understood, send a signal to let everyone who went out to look for it come back quickly."

Hearing the voices outside the tent, Shen Feng got up and walked out.As soon as he lifted the curtain, he saw Cheng Ziyuan's standing back.

Recently, Cheng Ziyuan stopped being entangled, he just stayed outside Shen Feng's tent every day, no matter where Shen Feng went, he always put a tail behind him.

Seeing Shen Feng coming out, Cheng Ziyuan hurriedly put the cloak on Shen Feng's body, as if it was specially prepared for him.Shen Feng was too lazy to argue with him on these trivial matters, so he stepped up to meet Gu Yan in the direction he came from.

"Where did you go?" Shen Feng tilted his head to look at Mo Ziji, only to see that he looked ashamed as if he had rolled in the mud.

Mo Zizhi was a bit embarrassed and speechless, but Gu Yan explained for him, "Zixuan was worried that one plant of ginseng would not be enough, so he went to dig ginseng in the mountains."

Mo Ziji whispered, "I took Chu Tiange with me. I thought there would be no danger. You were discussing matters again, so I didn't tell you. I didn't expect that not only would you be punished, but you would also mobilize the crowd." I sent so many people to look for it, sorry."

Gu Yan raised her hand and rubbed the top of Mo Zishe's head, her gaze was soft without any intention of blaming.

For some reason, Shen Feng always feels that Mo Zizhi is not like before, he is not a person who likes to stir up trouble and like to find fault, but what happened today always makes Shen Feng feel like he did it on purpose.It seems that Mo Zizhi deliberately wants to make Gu Yan anxious, and wants to prove his importance in Gu Yan's heart.

"Next time you go out, let me know, even if you come and tell me." Shen Feng was a warning, "I heard that Gu Yan brought you to the barracks because of a military order, not for anything else, just for Gu Yan's life You should think twice about everything."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Mo Ziji's face, she bit her lower lip and nodded slightly.

As the people who went out to look for came back one after another, Cheng Ziyuan began to count the number of people.

"General Gu, everyone has returned to the camp."

"Yeah." Gu Yan nodded, "It's been hard work, let's go back and rest earlier."

The crowd dispersed, and Shen Feng also turned around and walked towards the camp.After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, and he turned his head to look at Tao Zhuo's camp.

Little thing, Gu Yan is back, why is he indifferent?

The trees in the forest are luxuriant, and the shadow of the moon that is falling down is covered with only a few mottled spots. Against the rustling sound, there is a bit of a cultivator baring his teeth and claws.

Tao Zhuo supported the tree trunk with one hand, bent over to cover the cough overflowing from his mouth.Even so, the muffled coughing sound was still harsh in this quietness.

Tao Zhuo looked around in fear, fearing that the sound he made would attract some beasts.

He lost his way, and the soldiers who had been with him dispersed as they entered the forest.Tao Zhuo was exhausted and was left behind, and after a long time, no one could be found.He wanted to go back the same way, but he probably went in the wrong direction, and he didn't get out of the forest after walking for a long time.

Tao Zhuo is quite afraid of the dark, and in this deep mountain and old forest where you can't even look up to see the moonlight, it seems that there are eyes hidden behind every tree, which makes Tao Zhuo feel terrified.

After much deliberation, I decided to wait until dawn before continuing to look for the way back.

With the faint moonlight, Tao Zhuo saw a small open space not far away, the grass was soft and suitable for sleeping overnight.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached, Tao Zhuo stepped on the ground and fell into a pothole as high as a person in an instant.

The dust fell one after another, and Tao Zhuo, who was choking, coughed again. Standing on her sprained ankle, Tao Zhuo almost wanted to cry, "Who is so wicked to dig such a big trap in the forest."

Suddenly, a deep voice came from above, "Who is so blind? If there is a way, I will jump into the pit and waste my careful arrangements."

Tao Zhuo raised his head, and it happened that that person was also looking down.Because it was against the moonlight, Tao Zhuo could only see a dark mass protruding out of nowhere, and was so scared that his heart would jump out of him in an instant.
