Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator
Chapter 178
Sima Hui did not arrange another tent for Chu Lian. Firstly, it was too late. Secondly, it would not be as comfortable as sleeping in her own tent.
Both of them were women and were surrounded by female soldiers. It was much more convenient than sleeping in the Right Wing Army.
It was the coldest time in the north. Her hands turned to ice, but Sima Hui's tent was as warm as spring.
Chu Lian had been here once, but the owner of the tent was not there.
This time, when she followed Xiao Ju in, Sima Hui personally came to welcome her.
She had already changed out of the military uniform she wore during the day. At this time, she was wearing a loose and comfortable pink undergarment. Her long black hair fell behind her shoulders, and two strands of hair fell on the side of her face, making her handsome facial features look more delicate and feminine.
Sima Hui was tall and slender. Standing beside Chu Lian, she was taller than her by half a head. She walked to Chu Lian's side and said warmly, "Come and sit here, Mister. Warm yourself by the fire first." She then instructed Xiao Ju to serve tea.
Chu Lian followed Sima Hui to the brazier and sat down. "General Sima, you don't have to be so polite. I don't want to drink tea. You don't have to call me 'Lord' either. Just call me by my name."
Sima Hui smiled. "Then you don't have to call me General Sima either. I'm a few years older than you. Lian 'er, call me Sister Hui like my cousin. How about that?"
Chu Lian did not expect Sima Hui to be so enthusiastic. She could not reject her and nodded. "Then I'll shamelessly call you Sister Hui."
It was a female general's tent after all. Sima Hui's tent was filled with good stuff. The tent was not very big but the decorations were very detailed. There was even a small incense burner in the corner of the tent. The faint smell of agarwood wafted in the air, making one feel relaxed and comfortable.
With such a comparison, He Changdi's ordinary tent was practically reduced to dust.
But for some reason, even though Sima Hui's tent was very comfortable, Chu Lian did not feel as comfortable as He Changdi's simple tent.
Sima Hui asked Xiao Ju to bring two female soldiers to add an extra bed beside her. Wenqing and Wenlan laid out thick blankets and blankets. Chu Lian stayed at Sima Hui's for the night.
Originally, Chu Lian had a habit of lazing around in bed, especially in such a cold place like the Northern Region. If she was in He Manor, she would sleep until the sun was high up in the sky.
But this morning, as soon as Chu Lian heard Sima Hui's movements, she woke up.
Si Mahui was already standing behind the screen and putting on the silver armor. Chu Lian sat up from the soft couch in a daze. Si Mahui saw that she had just woken up and looked a little confused. She didn't look as smart as she did yesterday.
Chu Lian's soft long hair hung down. It was a little messy from sleeping, and her cheeks were red. Coupled with her young age and figure, it really made Sima Hui feel like she was her cousin.
There was a hint of gentleness in her voice. "It's still early. Lian 'er, sleep a little longer. I'm going to train the soldiers."
After sitting for a while, Chu Lian had already caught her breath. How could she really fall asleep again? She said in a soft voice, "Sister Hui, there's no need. I'll get up now."
Si Mahui didn't stop her, but when she saw Chu Lian's rare dazed look, she couldn't help but reach out and rub Chu Lian's messy black hair.
Wenqing and Wenlan walked around the screen and saw this scene. The two of them were stunned. They felt that General Sima's actions were a little strange …
Today, He Changdi woke up especially early. When he walked out of the tent, the sky was just beginning to brighten. He practiced a set of martial arts outside the tent and broke a wooden stake with his kick. Only then did he hear a soldier report that General Sima had woken up and was eating breakfast with the village ruler in the tent.
He Changdi was stunned. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Did you find the village ruler's servant girls?"
The soldier felt that his superior's aura had instantly turned cold. He trembled and said, "I … I did …"
He Changdi's cold gaze swept over him. The soldier felt his legs and stomach tremble. "Miss Wenqing told the commandant to take care of his body. The village ruler will have them to serve him, so you don't have to worry."
"Did Wenqing say that the village ruler had a message for me?"
The soldier's mouth twitched. He opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to lie to his superior. "No … no …"
(fun() {
Var s = "_" + Math.random () .t (36) .slice (2);
Dot.write ('< div id = "' + s + '" >');

});
})();
"Scram!"
The soldier stumbled away until he couldn't see his superior anymore. Only then did he wipe his forehead forcefully. The captain's appearance just now was really too scary. Even though it was winter, he still broke out in a cold sweat.
He Sanlang was furious. He paced back and forth outside the tent anxiously. Finally, he seemed to have thought of something and quickly walked back into the tent.
About fifteen minutes later, Laiyue hurriedly entered the tent.
"Third Young Master, is there something urgent that you need me to do?"
He Changdi nodded.
Laiyue immediately became alert and prepared to listen to his master's orders.
"Did you bring back the sugar cane and give it to your Third Madam yesterday?"
Laiyue was confused. Was this the important matter the Third Young Master was talking about?
Although he was a little disappointed, Laiyue still answered truthfully, "Not yet. I met Third Madam yesterday and was in a hurry to come back to report, so I was delayed."
He Sanlang's face showed a rare hint of joy. "Bring the sugar cane here. I'll personally deliver it today."
Laiyue sneaked a glance at the Third Young Master. Although he was suspicious, he didn't dare to ask and quickly agreed.
"I'll go get it now."
Xiao Hongyu was no longer in the tent. After Lai Yue left, He Changdi paced back and forth in the tent anxiously. He unconsciously started to rub the jade thumb ring that Chu Lian had given him on his right thumb, as if this was the only way he could calm himself down a little.
Chu Lian had originally planned to leave today, but because of Sima Hui's urging, she agreed to stay for one more day.
With Sima Hui leading the way, it was much easier for Chu Lian to tour the border army camp. She could also take a look at the training ground for the female soldiers.
Chu Lian didn't know how to ride a horse, so Sima Hui's female adjutant, Xiao Ju, picked a docile filly for her and helped her onto the back of the horse. Then, Xiao Ju mounted the horse and led Chu Lian's filly away.
It was Chu Lian's first time riding a horse, so she was very excited. Sima Hui rode her snow-white horse beside her, occasionally pointing at the tents in the camp and softly introducing them to her.
Chu Lian had gained a lot from this tour. She wore a fur cloak and her face was flushed from the cold wind, but she didn't feel cold at all. She was in a state of excitement the whole time.
It wasn't often that a female general would lead her around the northern border army camp, so Chu Lian naturally had to seize the time.
Sima Hui took off the red fox fur hood on her head and handed it to Chu Lian. "Lian 'er, wear this. It's much warmer than your hood."
Chu Lian looked at the smiling Sima Hui and saw that Xiao Ju had already handed another hood to Sima Hui. She didn't stand on ceremony and reached out to take it. She took off the hood and put it on her head.
Being in the military camp, her hair was also very simple, and she didn't have many accessories on her head. Half of her beautiful hair hung down her back, but it didn't affect the hood at all.
Today, she wore a red coat dress embroidered with pomegranate flowers and a short jacket of the same color. The sleeves and hem of the jacket were covered with a layer of snow-white rabbit fur, and she wore a thick cherry blossom colored velvet cloak. Sima Hui's red fox fur hood matched her outfit very well.
Half of her beautiful black hair was covered by the hood, and the hood was inlaid with a circle of round white pearls. There were also two pearl curtains hanging down from her temples. As the horse moved, the pearl curtains swayed slightly, making Chu Lian's fair and rosy face look even more beautiful.
Sima Hui was also very satisfied with Chu Lian's outfit. She pointed to the left and said, "Lian 'er, that's the training ground of the Right Wing Army. Usually, Commandant Guo, Commandant He, and the other generals train their soldiers here."
Chu Lian looked in the direction that Sima Hui was pointing and immediately met He Changdi's gaze from afar.
Chu Lian actually couldn't see He Changdi's face clearly from such a distance. She didn't know if it was because of a woman's sixth sense, but she was sure that He Changdi was looking at her at this moment.
Chu Lian didn't greet him. Instead, she continued to walk around the edge of the camp with Sima Hui to see other places.
He Sanlang was highly skilled in martial arts and his five senses were much sharper than the average person's. Moreover, Chu Lian's outfit today was really eye-catching, so it was hard for him not to notice.
Think about it, the entire camp was dressed in gray armor, and even Sima Hui's female soldiers wore the same uniform. How could Chu Lian not be eye-catching when she was dressed in red?
Not only that, He Sanlang also saw the scene of Sima Hui taking off his hood and giving it to Chu Lian from start to finish!
Sima Hui was dressed in silver armor and had a dark red cloak draped over her shoulders. She was tall, valiant, and had a straight back. She carried a red tasseled spear on her back and rode on a flashy white horse.
If one didn't pay attention, they didn't look like two women when they walked together with Chu Lian. They looked more like a young couple who were deeply in love …
Especially when Sima Hui took off his hood and gave it to Chu Lian. He Changdi was so angry that his lungs were about to explode!
Sima Hui had instantly climbed to the top of the list of people he hated the most.
His gaze seemed to turn solid as he stared at Chu Lian. He wanted nothing more than to go up to her, but that vicious woman pretended not to see him and walked away!
In the end, Commandant He's soldiers complained for the entire day.
After the training ended, the little soldiers all held their waists and legs and complained incessantly.
It was one thing to say that they didn't have enough to eat, but they also had to be scolded to death. How could they live like this!
After the training ended, He Changdi brought Lai Yue straight to Sima Hui's tent.
He returned to his tent and changed his clothes. Xiao Hongyu watched as he took out a set of gray undergarments from a wooden box and put them on. She even curiously leaned over and grinned, "Big Brother He, you're finally not wearing that dark green undergarment anymore?
Hehe, Big Brother Zhang and I even made a bet about when you would change!
It looks like I won! "
In the end, Xiao Hongyu's cheap mouth caused her to take a punch for nothing. She didn't even dare to fight back.
Chu Lian and Sima Hui were eating snacks in the tent. Xiao Ju placed a plate of sliced sugarcane on the table.
