Chapter 40
Although Yu Lan had a charming expression on her face, her eyes were filled with anticipation.
When she saw Yun Zong turn around and stare at her legs, she was secretly happy, but her voice revealed a hint of ridicule.
"Lord Lieutenant? How was it? You can say it."
“……”
Yun Zong took a look and suddenly asked,"
"How were the stockings on your legs made?”
"Silk…socks?"
Yu Lan was stunned, as if this term was very new. She also lowered her head to take a look, then said,
"These are black socks woven from the silk of Shu Zhongtian.……However, this name was quite appropriate. Why? The commandant liked women to dress like this?”
"Heavenly silk…? Black socks?"
Seeing Yun Zong's confusion, Yu Lan nodded.
"Lord Lieutenant doesn't know? This was a style that had only become popular in Xianyang in the past two years. In the past, heavenly silkworm silk was very precious and was specially supplied to the emperor. However, ever since Mount Shu broke through the difficulty of human cultivation, the natural silk became common. Although it was still expensive, it was not too ridiculous.”
"So…it's made of silk?”
"Of course."
After Yu Lan finished speaking, she realized that Yun Zong seemed to have lost interest in the black socks on his legs. Without even looking at them, he sat down at the table and picked up the black jade cream.
From his words, she understood that Yun Zong did not like it, but was curious about the black socks. Yu Lan's womanly thoughts faded away. Seeing Yun Zong's actions, she took the initiative to walk forward and kneel beside the man.
"Let me serve the lieutenant."
"No need…"
Yun Zong was just about to refuse when he saw Yu Lan already pick up the clean white rag. Her pair of blood-red hands matched the rag in the dark night, looking a little strangely beautiful. However, her actions were extremely gentle. She dipped the rag in some warm water from the wooden basin and gently placed it on Yun Zong's face.
The woman said gently,
"Your carriage has been bumpy all the way. You should wash up well.”
After saying that, she carefully helped Yun Zong wipe the dust off his face.
Yun Zong's body was a little stiff. Yu Lan smiled slightly when she felt it, but she did not say anything. She only helped Yun Zong wipe his face seriously and then began to wipe his body.
Under the moonlight, Yun Zong's upper body was as terrifying as a ferocious ghost. Countless scars piled up on his body, some long and some short. There were even scars that were only a few fingers wide from the heart. It was a shocking sight.
Yu Lan felt the tooth-like texture of her fingers through the cloth and asked gently,
"Where did this scar come from?”
Yun Zong took a look. Yu Lan was referring to the long scar from his shoulder to his collarbone.
"Shangdang, it was left behind when I saved Zhang Han.”
"What about this?"
"Duo Shui, fight the enemy."
"What about this?"
"…I don't remember."
"This?“
"Bandits of Ningdu."
"This…"
……
The two of them asked and answered. Yu Lan seemed to have endless curiosity about the scars on Yun Zong's body. Unfortunately, these densely packed scars were too old, so old that Yun Zong himself could not remember some of them.
After a long time, when the basin of water had turned cold, Yu Lan helped Yun Zong wrap the bandage again and said gently,
"The wound might itch a little these few days.”
"Yes."
"Then…I'm leaving."
"Yes."
"You…do you have anything to say to me?”
Hearing the woman's expectant words, Yun Zong turned to look at her.
After a long time, he said,
"Rest early."
Yu Lan smiled like a flower.
"Yes!"
After she agreed, she floated away and the window closed silently.
The crescent moon hung high in the sky. Zhang Han leaned against the corner of the wall. When he saw Yu Lan flying away above his head, his expression relaxed and he left.
……
"Report! 30,000 Zhao troops set off from Anze! Enter my forest!"
"Report! The middle army quickly ordered to resist and retreat!”
"Report! Three miles away from Nozawa City, a large group of unknown people appeared. There was no sign of the Zhao Army!”
"Report! Found the corpse of our spy!"
"Report! In the middle of the military order to break the camp to guard Nozawa, do not rashly attack!”
"Report!"
……
Urgent reports followed by military orders reached Yun Zong's ears.
Zhang Han looked at Yun Zong's calm expression and couldn't help but ask,"
"Lord Lieutenant, this…what is the meaning of the Middle Corps? "Although the Zhao army is coming menacingly, it's not like we don't have the strength to fight. It's fine if they don't let us go to the front line. Why don't you let us leave the city? This…"
"I don't know."
Yun Zong shook his head.
" But this isn't General Wang's fighting style…"
Zhang Han didn't know that the central army was changing commanders, so he thought that Wang He was giving orders.
"Zhang Han."
As soon as Yun Zong's voice rang out, he raised his eyelids. Zhang Han, who was full of thoughts, immediately stopped talking. That timid appearance made Yu Lan, who was beside him, cover her face and chuckle, attracting his dissatisfaction.
At this moment, another soldier came over,"
"Report! General Meng Wu and General Meng Tian led 23,000 troops to Nozawa and would arrive in six hours!”
Hearing the soldier's words, Yun Zong was stunned.
"Meng Wu, Meng Tian?"
(No, I want to ask, is my book terrible? Or was it that no one was watching…The comments section was dead silent. What was going on? You guys should give me some advice on whether it's good or bad ~)
