Seeing that Yun Ying agreed after a little hesitation, He Gu deliberately looked like he was sure of victory.
Just as he was about to say a few more flirty words to pass the time, he heard people gradually moving outside the tent, and he quickly stopped.
He put down the tea cup in his hand and stood up politely, immediately mentally preparing himself for the interview calmly.
Seeing that the answer to the bet was about to be revealed, Yun Ying, who was standing upright behind the young master, couldn't help but condense his bright eyes and secretly look at the tent door.
As the two men watched silently, each with different attitudes, the tent was soon lifted up slowly by a female soldier outside.
Immediately, a heroic figure in fiery red armor walked into the medical tent with a calm pace, followed closely by two female soldiers.
He Gu, who was calm and composed, took a closer look at the center. When he saw clearly the specific appearance of the person coming, his originally calm mood was instantly shaken up, and his eyes suddenly widened.
For a moment, my head was buzzing and I was confused.
Eh?! How could it be her?
How could she...appear here?!
He Gu couldn't believe it. He never thought that this so-called "Lord General" would be one of his old friends. For a moment, he thought he was dazzled.
Subconsciously, he moved his gaze to the pair of long legs that were hidden under the soft armor. Even if they turned into ashes, he would most likely be able to recognize them at a glance. Only then did he confirm his judgment without hesitation.
Fortunately, he wasn't drinking tea at the moment, otherwise it would have been more than just this gaffe.
The fate was truly wonderful. Looking at the handsome and handsome face of his cheap fiancée, He Gu felt extremely surprised and uneasy. He was so moved by the scene that he unconsciously froze in place.
His eyes were staring straight at her face, but his thoughts gradually drifted to his hometown far away.
When I recite the sutra, I can't help but think of my loved ones there.
Shen Jiangli had just stood still. Seeing his unsteady behavior when they first met, Shen Jianglei raised her eyebrows slightly imperceptibly.
Especially during this period, I noticed that the other party's eyes were moving downward without concealment, and instantly I felt a little unhappy in my heart.
Originally, she was planning to take the initiative to entertain the other person when they met to show her friendship as a landlord, but she immediately gave up the idea.
In view of the relationship with the empress behind it, it didn't explode on the spot in the end.
Yun Ying was also a little stunned. She originally thought that she would definitely lose.
For a moment, I was a little confused as to what happened to the young master suddenly. Could it be that he caught sight of her at a glance.
Or do you mean you know each other?
He didn't have time to think about it, so he quietly stretched out his jade hand and poked the young master's back in front of him as a kind reminder.
Only then did He Gu react belatedly, looking away slightly embarrassed.
Fortunately, the two female soldiers who followed him into the camp had their heads lowered and did not see him. Otherwise, his popularity would have been ruined on his first day in the camp.
After all, this was the first acquaintance he had met again since leaving the Northern Immortal Territory. At that moment, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and he felt the wonderful arrangement of fate.
After suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, he quickly returned to normal and bowed slightly.
Since there were two female soldiers present, he had not yet figured out the situation and it was difficult for him to get straight to the point and point out his true purpose, so he introduced himself as a military doctor on the surface.
His tone was serious, and he said with a slight smile: "Military doctor Gu Li is here to see Sir General Lei."
The silent Yun Ying behind him also lowered his head, as if he was following.
Although she had some doubts about his character and ability due to the first impression, Shen Jiangli treated him politely and did not reveal his personal feelings.
He replied sternly: "You don't need to be polite to Dr. Gu, there will be Dr. Lao from now on."
As she spoke, she turned away and looked at the quiet woman behind her. Her keen combat intuition told her that this person seemed a bit unusual.
"Who is this……"
Just by briefly looking at each other, Yun Ying felt that the rare female general in front of him already had a general-like temperament. Taking into account the confidentiality of her identity, she did not dare to neglect her at the moment.
This time she bowed formally and answered softly: "Medical apprentice Yun Ying met Master Lei with his master."
There was nothing more suspicious that could be seen for the moment, and Shen Jiangli could only nod slightly.
Just as she was about to say a few more polite words, a female soldier came into the tent and came to her side. She whispered to her that "the village chief of Shicun suddenly requested a meeting."
Shen Jianglei's expression did not change. He looked back at He Gu's arrangement and said, "Military doctor Gu, let's take a rest here first. We will invite the military doctor to the big tent tonight to wash away the wind and dust, and then we can have a detailed discussion."
The implication is that the secret investigation will be discussed at night.
"There's no need to see you off." But he didn't want to stay any longer. After saying that, he left first and left the medical tent with the three female soldiers.
Looking at the back of the cheap fiancée who came in a hurry and then left in a hurry, He Gu was filled with curiosity.
Did he know that he had a high-status elder as his disciple in the Red Cloud Sect, and he was also very good to him? It stands to reason that no matter how competitive he is if he stays in the Red Cloud Sect, he will not have to travel to other areas for life-and-death adventures. situation.
I can't figure out what caused her to appear here at this moment.
After all, she was still his fiancée in name no matter what. Considering how the Shen family had indirectly taken care of the He family over the years, he had to pay attention to it, at least not to let anything really happen to her.
As the saying goes, one of the three great joys in life is meeting an old friend in a foreign country. This time he experienced it firsthand.
In general, although the appearance of his fiancée was very sudden, it made him feel surprisingly good.
It has to be said that his unique role in leading an army now makes him feel like he has re-recognized him in a trance.
If given the opportunity to support him, he would never be stingy in the slightest.
At one moment, he lost his composure during the meeting, and at another, he smiled inexplicably after the person left. Yun Ying was really worried about the young master's mental state at this time.
He took a step forward and asked with concern: "Young Master..."
Since we have to wait until evening to discuss the secret investigation, He Gu doesn't need to worry about it in advance now.
"I'm fine." He turned around and replied with a warm smile, without explaining too much.
As he spoke, he cleverly changed the topic: "By the way, you won the bet. Tell me what you wish for."
wish?
Thinking of the bet just now, Yun Ying suddenly thought of his master's trouble of recognizing each other, and didn't expect that he could at least help a little in one step.
It's just that the time has obviously not yet come, and it is not easy to bring it up now.
Other than that, she didn't have anything else she wanted to do and needed the young master's help.
After thinking seriously for a moment, she shook her head and replied simply: "Not yet."
"It's not urgent, we can talk about it later." He Gu sat back on the simple bamboo chair and stretched out, not in a hurry.
As he spoke, he was still interested in joking: "Just remember it yourself. I am very forgetful. I only remember what others owe me. It is easy to accidentally forget what I owe others when I turn around."
Yun Ying also consciously returned behind the young master. After standing still, he suddenly asked seriously: "Where is the young master... assuming that the young master wins this time..."
"Me?" He Gu was slightly stunned when he heard this.
Thinking that it was a hypothetical question, he didn't think much about it. He quickly gave the answer casually and said jokingly: "My back is sore after running around all day. If I win, I will definitely have to work hard for you today."
Feeling that there was a little bit of ambiguity in his words, he quickly added: "I will need you to rub my shoulders and massage my back."
He originally said it casually, but he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, a pair of cool hands gently fell on his shoulders, and then he started to massage them carefully.
He Gu's face turned red, just because he had given him a helping hand three years ago, he had never completely treated Yun Ying as a servant.
Even if he now knows that his action back then was only due to the empress's order, his preconceived notions cannot be easily changed overnight or with the truth.
Looking up at the person behind him, he felt that it was still necessary to explain: "Choke...I actually..."
Yun Ying's actions were just something she felt she should serve at any time as a loyal servant, and she had already treated them as a serious matter.
Mistaking that the young master had other requests, Xian Shou immediately paused obediently.
Seeing her serious look as a big sister who was attentive and waiting for orders, He Gu realized that it was always important and necessary for her casual remarks to fall into her ears at any time.
Don't make random requests, he will do it seriously and without hesitation.
He had learned from the past, and considering that if he continued to clarify later, he would probably admit that he had made a mistake in his work like he had done with his previous apology, and would feel guilty, so he simply stopped talking about what he said next.
His tone was slightly exaggerated, but he changed his tune and said, "I'm actually quite capable of exerting myself. It doesn't hurt to be stronger."
For a moment, Yun Ying thought that he had misunderstood the young master again, but when he heard that he was just a little dissatisfied, he felt completely at ease.
The delicate hands immediately increased the intensity as the young master wished, and continued to massage.
It wasn't a fight, so He Gu naturally wouldn't use spiritual power on his shoulders. Moreover, cultivators weren't training to eliminate their feelings. When the pain suddenly hit him, he almost lost his composure.
I can't even talk about comfort, but the pain is really painful.
I felt a little ashamed in my heart, and suddenly I had a different understanding of what I had just learned: "Don't make random requests."
In a sense, a woman who takes everything seriously is quite scary.
The words that have been spoken now are like water that has been thrown out, and it is not easy for him to take them back casually in terms of face.
In this way, subject to the man's damn self-esteem, he experienced the "exhilarating" feeling that was painful and painful for the next full hour.
In the end, I found a reason to sit in a medical tent and wanted to go out for some air, and then I was finally "released."
Just when He Gu was taking Yun Ying for a walk outside the military camp, inside the large tent in the middle of the military camp, the old village chief met Shen Jiangli as he wished.
He boldly put forward a request that the military camp could improve the daily living support supply for Black Rock Village. Unexpectedly, he received the approval of the female general.
I felt that things were going extremely smoothly, so I couldn't help but nervously mentioned that I wanted to have my son and a few villagers leave the village tomorrow to pay homage to their ancestors at a cemetery not far away. I told them that they would not be back until early the day after tomorrow.
Not long after, he followed the female soldier out of the military camp, his old face full of joy.
