Chapter 82 Force (1)
Chen Hui never thought that Yatai was such a bold and unrestrained woman. She just did what she wanted regardless of the opinion of others. Thinking about it carefully, she wasn’t just any ordinary powerful and it was inexplicably admirable.
Although Chen Hui tried to stay away from the tent that was making ambiguous noises, she didn’t dare to go too far away. The people who walked around here were all Xi people and their gazes weren’t very friendly. She was afraid that if she went too far away she may encounter something unpredictable.
After observing for a while, Chen Hui discovered that people like Yatai were also a minority even in the Xi ethnic group. The border was not in sight at the military camp that Yatai brought her to, because the tents blocked part of the line of sight. Also, everywhere were men. Almost no women could be seen and there was no female warrior like princess Yatai that Chen Hui had expected.
However, what made Chen Hui curious was that the atmosphere of this camp was quite strange. It was obvious that there was a war going on, but it seemed like a celebration was going to be held. The atmosphere was not tense. Instead, there was an unspeakable excitement.
Chen Hui also didn’t have the guts to ask if something good was about to happen. So, she waited quietly with her own doubts.
She also didn’t know how long she waited when the faint noises in the tent gradually ceased. Chen Hui let out a long sigh of relief. That man could really last so long. She almost couldn’t take it anymore…
After the noises stopped, Chen Hui secretly looked in the direction of the tent from time to time. Seeing that the man opened the curtain contentedly, she moved slowly over. She didn’t go in and waited quietly outside instead.
“Are you outside? Come in,” Princess Yatai’s lazy voice came from the inside.
Chen Hui opened the curtain and walked in.
Princess Yatai was already neatly dressed, but it wasn’t the original armor. Instead, it was a fur coat and skirt that exposed the limbs, shoulders, collarbone and waist. Except for some scars, her skin was smooth and shiny. Every inch of her skin was pliable and tough.
Seeing Chen Hui come in, she threw something over. Chen Hui quickly caught it. She heard princess Yatai say, “Put it on.”
Chen Hui glanced at the thing in her hand hesitantly. She was dumbstruck, “This…” The set of clothes in her hand has about the same level of exposure as that of princess Yatai.
“Too big?” Princess Yatai looked up and down at Chen Hui for a while and said, “You are too short. I will go ask if there is anyone similar to you.”
Chen Hui hurriedly said, “No…I, I want to say, what I am wearing is quite good. No need to change.”
“No, everyone will celebrate tonight…” Princess Yatai said a word that Chen hui didn’t understand. Seeing Chen Hui’s blank expression, she paused and thought for a moment before saying, “It has almost the same meaning as a celebration praying to the gods.”
“Isn’t there a war right now? Doesn’t it matter that there is a celebration praying to the gods?” Chen Hui asked in surprise. If she was a spy and had a phone at hand, she would immediately call Li Youde to let him bring people over. Wouldn’t the battle be over earlier by then?
“Why does it matter?” Princess Yatai said, “Firstly, your Great Liang’s army hasn’t figured out where we are yet. Secondly, if Jianbei sent people over, the domesticated falcon would have long passed the news over. Thirdly, if Great Liang really mounts a sneak attack during the praying celebration, it would be hard to say who would be the disadvantaged one.”
Seeing that Chen Hui was still bewildered, princess Yatai blinked and said, “You will know when you see it.”
She paused, then looked at Chen Hui and said, “Right, I remembered something just now. Who is the man you serve? Is it the one who we accidentally let escape before?”
Chen Hui’s heart jumped wildly. The question was the one she had deliberately obscured before. Who knew that princess Yatai had to get an answer?
“Master Yatai, did you set up an ambush just to capture that sir,” Chen Hui asked in surprise.
Yatai smiled and said, “Lady Chen…that is how Great Liang would call you, right? You’d better not have any snooping behavior. What you can be told, I will tell you. What you can’t be told, don’t ask.”
Chen Hui’s small heart contracted for a moment. She quickly shook her head and said, “I, I was just a bit surprised…” Under the pressure of princess Yatai’s terrifying eyes, she could only reply, “The…the surname of the person I serve is Chu. I don’t know his name. I only know that they call him deputy general Chu. The sir that you let escape is…is a eunuch.”
“Deputy general Chu? Ah, I seem to have seen him before. He looked like someone upright. I didn’t expect him to be such a person,” Princess Yatai recalled for a moment and finally remembered this person.
Chen Hui felt relieved. She could only let deputy general Chu be the scapegoat. He and Qi Shengwen were in the boat anyway. Let him be the scapegoat as a way to pay off the debt on Qi Shengwen’s behalf.
Princess Yatai asked, “Does a eunuch mean a man where that place is cut off?”
Chen Hui nodded hurriedly.
“Then, is he Lord Li, the supervisor of the army that the court has sent,” Princess Yatai asked, “It seemed that our luck is really not bad. A pity.” She laughed once, but there wasn’t much regret on her face. Instead, a bit of nostalgia appeared on her face, “Speaking of which, I have also personally made a eunuch once.”
“…Huh?” Chen Hui thought that it was a misunderstanding caused by the two languages. Personally? Could it be that she cut off a certain person’s thing? She (CH) had only touched the preserved thing. Princess Yatai was much more amazing. She personally cut it off!
