“Whirr… whirr… whirr…”

Xue San sat in the wooden bucket, scrubbing his body.

This wooden bucket was obtained from the cooks. It wasn't a bathtub; it was usually used for carrying water, but it was sufficient for Xue San's build, even with extra room.

"Hey, do you think our lord will get up to something with that general?"

Xue San asked Liang Cheng, who was sitting at the other end of the tent, while bathing.

Liang Cheng glanced at Xue San and said, "Even a dog's nose isn't as sensitive as yours."

"Heh heh, that's right. Even Si Niang's disguise can't fool my nose."

"Including shit?"

"............" Xue San.

Ah! Ah!!!!!!

Xue San yelled and splashed water on his body. This was already the fifth bucket.

As an assassin, attacking from behind was normal. Xue San couldn't remember how many prey he had killed from behind, but this was the first time he'd had his face covered in a prey's excrement.

To this end, Xue San could only assume that he had added a lot of hidden force when pulling the dagger down inside the opponent's body, intending to crush the opponent's internal organs. Who knew that the centrifugal force would be too great...

"This matter, you're not allowed to talk about it, and you absolutely can't tell them when we get back!" Xue San said very seriously to Liang Cheng.

Liang Cheng shook his head indifferently.

Xue San continued to wash his body, returning to the previous topic:

"According to the normal plot, female characters disguised as men will most likely be taken into the protagonist's harem. At first, they might be coy, but slowly they will become devoted to the protagonist."

"Plot?"

"Yeah, Zhao Min in *The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber*, isn't it like that?

There are many similar examples.

In reality, women like a man have to look at the man's appearance, personality, sincerity, family background, betrothal gifts, and so on;

But in works of art, as long as those authors want, they can always find countless reasons for women to fawn over the protagonist."

Liang Cheng helplessly took out a water bag, opened the stopper, took a sip, and said:

"That's a novel."

If it weren't inconvenient to go out now, Liang Cheng's personality wouldn't have chosen to sit here watching a dwarf washing himself naked and chatting with the dwarf.

"I say, you dead zombie, you can't forget where you came from, you forgot where we came from?"

Liang Cheng frowned slightly when he heard this. Some things could be accepted early, but acceptance is not equal to understanding.

"For others, it may be just a comic, but for us, it is our life."

"Hehe, I don't have time to think about philosophy with you. Alas, I regret it a bit now. When the lord went out, I only had time to tell the lord that the general in red armor was a woman, but I didn't properly instruct the lord."

"Instruct what?"

"Instruct the lord, if you arrive in front of the other party's camp, regardless of whether there are guards at the door, as long as the other party asks you to wait a while for notification before entering, then you must not wait, rush in directly!"

"Why?"

"Because that general is probably taking a bath, and then the lord, by chance, rushes in and can see her body;

Next, that female general will be ashamed and annoyed, and may order the lord to be punished, but the lord, as the first man other than her father to see her body, will definitely leave an extremely deep impression on her heart, and then..."

"Then she will have someone push the lord out and be beheaded, and the lord will die."

"Uh..."

Xue San scratched his hair helplessly and said with melancholy: "You are too vulgar."

"You are being unrealistic."

"Life is always more artistic than art. You must know that this is the first female character that the lord has seen in this world that can be considered presentable since his awakening. If nothing happens, if there is no friction, if no foreshadowing is laid, it seems a bit unreasonable."

Liang Cheng didn't want to talk anymore. He felt that this dwarf not only had poor physical development, but his brain might also be affected.

Perhaps Qin Siyu is this type of person, because he has always been shorter than his peers, and because he is in poor health, he likes to stay at home, but his mind is full of fantasies.

And this personality and habit have also been completely inherited by Xue San, the character in his pen.

"Think about it, that woman, since she can disguise herself as a man to lead an army, hehe, her status must not be low. If she is really taken in by the lord, it will also be a boost for us, which is equivalent to someone actively sending venture capital during the start-up phase, and even actively engages in unspoken rules to let you accept it.

If it works, the most we lose is just a tube of the lord's sons and grandsons."

"She is not worthy."

"Well, don't say that, our lord is still very good."

"I'm talking about that woman, she is not worthy of the lord."

Xue San frowned slightly, hung his arms on the edge of the bucket, and looked at Liang Cheng:

"Damn it, are you licking so shamelessly now?"

"With us here, the lord can marry the most outstanding woman in this world."

Xue San was stunned when he heard this, blinked his eyes, he couldn't deny this sentence, and even agreed with it in his heart, but after a brief silence, Xue San still asked:

"But now, we are still very weak. Those barbarians are nothing. In a one-on-one fight, even those guys who can glow, we can kill them with our own abilities and experience.

Ordinary soldiers are just courting death one by one, and at most it will take a little effort to deal with five or six, but what about twenty, fifty, or a hundred?

You have also seen those Yan country cavalry. If you are on the plains, without the advantage of terrain, fifty cavalry will take turns forming an array to charge at you, even if you are a zombie, how many rounds can you last?"

Liang Cheng turned his head and glanced at the injury on his left arm, and said:

"We have only recovered a little."

The distance from everyone's peak, the distance from everyone's true strength, what everyone has recovered now is really just the tip of the iceberg.

"Who knows how to recover a little more? If we really recover more, it won't be our lord going to see that woman, but we will directly tie that woman from the army and send her to the lord's bed."

"Don't tell me, you haven't noticed."

"Notice what?" Xue San showed a curious look.

"The lord's strength." Liang Cheng replied.

Xue San immediately thought of the barbarian cavalryman who was killed by the lord.

"You mean, how much our strength can recover, and whether we can further recover, the key is still in the lord?"

"I only know that before the lord woke up, we were just ordinary people."

"Ha, and how long has the lord been awake, and his strength has suddenly become comparable to that of an adult man who has been exercising for many years. When marching earlier, I always thought that the lord would not be able to support it, but he persisted."

"Maybe, the lord himself hasn't really discovered and realized this;

That is,

Progressing,

May not only be us."

………………

Zheng Fan came to the outside of the military tent. Outside, there were not many soldiers guarding it, only the sword-holding old man stood at the entrance of the tent.

Without letting Zheng Fan wait, the old man reached out and lifted the curtain as soon as Zheng Fan walked over, indicating that Zheng Fan could go in.

After entering, Zheng Fan already knew from Xue San that this was a woman disguised as a man, and she was not taking a bath.

She was still wearing her conspicuous red armor, kneeling behind the desk, flipping through some letters in her hand, with a heroic spirit flowing between her eyebrows.

After Zheng Fan came in, he hesitated for a moment and knelt down on one knee.

"Greetings, General."

As for "this humble subordinate," he didn't say it again.

The general threw the letters in his hand on the desk, and looked at Zheng Fan kneeling below him with great interest.

"You have made a lot of contributions this time, and I want to reward you."

Zheng Fan didn't speak, just raised his head and looked at her.

In particular, he paid more attention to the Adam's apple, but because of the armor, it was not very clear.

Most importantly, because of the armor, he didn't know what this woman's figure was like.

After all, the awakening effect of armor is much stronger than a bra.

Zheng Fan didn't know why he was thinking about these things in his mind now. Maybe it was because he was a little nervous, so he subconsciously diverged his thoughts.

Men have two brains, both of which look like walnuts. Generally speaking, when one brain is running, the other brain will often fall into a sluggish state.

And that general was also a little embarrassed, after all, superiors seem to be used to it. When they say they want to reward someone, the people below will express their loyalty and shout to serve the boss, without asking for anything else.

Of course, this can't be taken seriously, but everyone seems to pay attention to this process.

But now, this man doesn't seem to have any plans to cooperate with his performance.

A smile appeared on the corner of the general's mouth, and he said:

"Two kinds of rewards, let you choose yourself;

One is to enter my personal guard camp and become a servant of my Li family. In two years, whether you are sent out or continue to stay in the family, the road will be much wider.

Second, you are from Tiger Head City, right?"

"Yes."

"The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue issued an edict a few days ago. Because more and more bandits are harassing the merchants in recent years, they require all fortress cities to form their own merchant protection teams.

But the superiors didn't allocate any military expenses or military equipment, meaning they only gave a quota of three hundred people, and the rest will be solved by each place.

So, the second reward is the merchant protection commandant of the Tiger Head City area."

Speaking of this, the general himself felt a little unable to continue. After a pause, he continued:

"Forget it, after the army sets off tomorrow, you will follow me back to the Li family's main family. The future, will not..."

"I choose the second one!"

Zheng Fan immediately raised his head and said.

The general's voice suddenly stopped,

Seeming a little unbelievable, he asked again:

"Choose... which one?"

Zheng Fan answered again without hesitation:

"The second one."

It's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. In Tiger Head City, he has seven demon kings under his command, who shout for him to be their lord all day long in a chuunibyou manner.

Is he sick in the head to go there and be a servant?

The most important point is that,

Zheng Fan knows his own weight. He was just a bystander in this contribution. Liang Cheng sent him a head to take.

If he really left these subordinates and went out to make a living alone,

Zheng Fan felt that he would die without knowing how he died.

"You, won't regret it?"

Zheng Fan took a deep breath, shook his head very seriously, and said:

"No regrets."

"Can you tell me the reason? Is the Li family's servant so unappealing to you?"

Zheng Fan immediately replied:

"Tiger Head City is my home, and I can't bear to leave it."
