MTL - Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year-Chapter 497 why are you so nice to me
Chen Shaobei passed by the soldiers' bathing pool as usual.
We are all young men, so there is no shelter to take a bath, so this is always an open-air tent.
But this time when Chen Shaobei passed by, someone stumbled out holding his clothes and bumped directly into him.
The hard iron armor made Jiang Zhi feel pain.
She was already in a panic, her hair was wet and stuck to her face. When she raised her head and saw Chen Shaobei, her face turned pale with fright and she felt guilty.
“Why are you running?” His voice was cold.
As soon as he finished speaking, the voices of Wang Er and a group of soldiers came from behind Jiang Zhi.
They chased him out shirtless: "Brother Jiang, why are you running? Look at your thin arms and legs. Brother, I will give you a good rub. Why are you so shy?"
Jiang Zhi gritted her teeth, lowered her head and ran away.
Wang Er didn't know what was going on, but saw Chen Shaobei's tall figure standing in front of him with the light behind him, his eyes quiet and cold.
Wang Er also asked stupidly: "General, has Jiang Zhi made you angry again?"
Chen Shaobei pursed his lips, and the deputy general next to him immediately scolded: "You bastard, why are you talking to the general? You guys are fooling around here with no shirts on, and the military affairs are all done? Have you practiced martial arts? Have you practiced boxing? Or both? Is your skin itchy?”
Wang and others lowered their heads, looking very innocent.
They usually make trouble like this, but now it’s lunch break time and they just take a shower. Why is the general unhappy?
Chen Shaobei said coldly: "Are you bullying Jiang Zhi again?"
Wang Er felt that these words were directed at him, and he waved his hands hurriedly: "Beizhi, it's not because I misunderstood Brother Jiang last time because of Miss Su's matter, Beizhi has already used a jar of fine wine to turn a fight with him into friendship."
"No, we just finished training and passed by the bathing pool. We heard the sound of water inside. When we came in, we found that Brother Jiang actually came to take a bath while we were busy. We happened to be sweating, so we wanted to take a bath together. One wash.”
This is a normal thing among soldiers.
Why Jiang Zhi was frightened and embarrassed, she immediately jumped up and hugged her clothes and left.
The soldier behind Wang Er subconsciously said: "Jiang Zhi's legs are too white. He may be afraid that we will laugh at him for looking like a sissy."
After all, they had laughed at him before.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the man finished speaking, a sharp fist hit him directly on the head.
The soldiers covered their heads and screamed.
Everyone felt sad and looked at Chen Shaobei who was punching in fear.
“General, general?”
"You are the same comrades who went to the battlefield and are unrelated brothers of the opposite sex. So, do you think it is a good thing to bully and tease him like this?" Chen Shaobei's voice was sharp.
Wang Er and others suddenly understood.
Jiang Zhi has a reserved personality, and may not be used to their joking.
“The general is teaching you a lesson! Those in humble positions must pay attention next time.”
Chen Shaobei waved his hand and issued a military order: "Everyone will run around the military camp twenty times and then come back."
Everyone wailed in their hearts, but did not dare to disobey, and respectfully sent Chen Shaobei off.
In the next few days, Chen Shaobei always kept an eye on Jiang Zhi's movements unconsciously.
But she was avoiding not only everyone, but also him.
Staying in the Fire Barracks for a whole day every day, it was late at night and dark before I dared to go back to my tent to sleep.
I heard from the gangtou soldiers who were familiar with her that Jiang Zhi usually went to help them with things as a joke.
But these days have passed. When I met Jiang Zhi on the road, she only nodded in response, feeling uneasy.
Chen Shaobei slowly savored and pondered the collected information.
Three days later.
He sent Jiang Zhi to his study.
Jiang Zhi still lowered her head, but the arrogant and bratty energy in her body was gone.
“What have you been busy with recently?” Chen Shaobei asked.
Jiang Zhi answered truthfully: "Study artillery."
Chen Shaobei pursed his lips: "Why don't you go to training?"
Jiang Zhi was silent for a moment and said: "I'm training for my humble job, but it's just dinner time."
Chen Shaobei's demeanor is cold and calm. He is a self-respecting general who supports his troops. Needless to say, he has a calm and majestic demeanor.
"I remember that before you came to the military camp, I told you that the discipline in the military regulations is to do what you do at what time. Everyone goes to have dinner and you go to train. Do you really think that the military camp is your home?"
Jiang Zhi also knew that what she was doing was not good. She lowered her head silently but did not speak.
After a while, she seemed to gather her courage.
“General, I want to leave the barracks.”
"Why?" Chen Shaobei pursed his lips: "You can't bear the grievance if I lecture you a few words, right?" Jiang Zhi clenched her fists and raised her clear black eyes to look at him, as if she said no. Out of trouble.
"I...I..." Jiang Zhi took a deep breath and finally confessed: "I am a girl. I believe the general already knows that. If I stay and are discovered by outsiders, it will not only affect the general, but also the prestige of the entire Chen family army." !”
If word spreads about a woman joining the army, it will make people laugh.
Furthermore, there has been a legend since ancient times that if the army brings women, it will make the army unlucky.
Chen Shaobei is a good person, and Jiang Zhi does not want to involve him.
She thought that Chen Shaobei would happily let her go if she said so.
However, Chen Shaobei just looked at her with his cold brown eyes.
“So what if I know you are a woman?”
Jiang Zhi was stunned for a moment and didn’t understand.
Chen Shaobei: "Did I treat you differently during your normal training?"
Jiang Zhi shook her head.
This is indeed not the case. If she does something wrong, Chen Shaobei will also punish her.
"I have known for a long time that you are a woman. Have I ever felt sorry for you these days?"
Jiang Zhi shook her head even more violently. Chen Shaobei was not only trying to embarrass her, he was also thinking of ways to support her.
Let her fists and feet no longer be those of a gangster, but a regular soldier of the imperial court.
Chen Shaobei sneered: "Then why are you leaving?"
Jiang Zhi bit her lip: "I am a woman, and I am a stain on the army."
With a "pop" sound, Chen Shaobei stood up with his hands on the table.
His tall figure was shrouded in the light and shadow cast through the window next to him.
Jiang Zhi was startled and heard him say: "Jiang Zhi, I have never felt that you are a stain. No one will look down on you because you are a woman, because you have already proved with your fists and kicks that you are no worse than any other man."
“The person who really looks down on you and thinks you are a stain is you.”
At this moment, Jiang Zhi was struck in the heart. She opened her eyes tremblingly and looked at Chen Shaobei in disbelief.
I saw him sitting back in the chair with a calm expression.
"If a person despises himself and looks down on himself from the bottom of his heart, then no matter how much others support him, it will be useless. If you are this kind of person, then fine, I promise you to leave, and you can leave now."
As he said that, Chen Shaobei took out the bamboo slips and read the military book, but he didn't even bother to pay attention to her.
Jiang Zhi stood there for a long time. Her voice sounded again, and she had ignited new confidence.
"General, I don't want to leave! I will work hard in the future and will not expose my identity to you..."
Before he could say the word "trouble", Chen Shaobei threw a key over without raising his head.
Jiang Zhi quickly caught it.
"This is…"
"I have a permanent private room in the nearest inn in the city. It was originally used for a temporary rest. It is no longer needed. If you want to take a bath in the future, go there. I paid the money for a year. So you just use it."
Jiang Zhi was surprised and didn’t know what to say.
She looked at his lowered eyebrows, calm and dark.
There is no unnecessary expression at all.
Why is he so good? !
"Go out, I have something else to do." Chen Shaobei urged her.
Jiang Zhi quickly thanked her, nodded and bowed and closed the door for the first time in her life.
After coming out, I looked at the blue sky and the long white clouds. Even the wind blowing was fresh!
Since entering the military camp, bathing has been the most troublesome thing for her.
Because she was wearing a corset, she couldn't wash it with everyone, so she had to wait until they were asleep late at night or when everyone was taking a lunch break.
Always fearful and risk being discovered.
Now that she had a separate inn where she could bathe, she just wanted to kneel down and thank Chen Shaobei for his kindness.
However, Jiang Zhi was confused again, why was he so kind to her?
Soon she figured it out.
“It must be because of sister Ningning!” Jiang Zhi understood.
Chen Shaobei has such a good relationship with the prince, and the prince cares about Shen Ningning so much.
So, he took care of Ning Ning just for her sake.
After Jiang Zhi figured it out, she felt no burden and left happily.
