Xiao Qian's arms were strong enough to carry her with one arm.

However, he didn't do so. Instead, he patiently held her by her arms and pulled her up.

"Wild animals frequently come and go in the mountains. When you leave the camp in the future, you need to let me know. If I had come a little later today, your life would have ended here."

Before Su Zhi could recover from her fear, she grabbed his arm with both hands. She could not refute his words, so she could only nod and agree.

Xiao Qian wanted to scold her, but seeing that she looked pitiful and frightened, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Thinking about it, even if it was for the sake of her child, she wouldn't care about it anymore.

As a woman, she was always more particular than a rough man. It was indeed inappropriate for her to bathe in the army camp.

Xiao Qian thought back and forth, but Xiao Qian still felt that it was inconvenient for the delicate and pretty woman to stay in the army.

Both of them had their own thoughts as they descended the mountain in the dark. When they were almost to the campsite, Xiao Gan released Su Zhi and let her go back by herself. He watched from a distance.

Not far ahead was the Great Wei Army camp's line of sight control. Even a fly would find it hard to fly inside.

Su Zhi understood that Xiao Qian was doing this because of their reputations, so she didn't ask any questions and headed back.

When she met the soldier guarding the gate, he asked her where Xiao Qian had gone, but she didn't know.

On this side, the little bun hadn't been able to find his mother and had been crying for quite some time.

A Jin endured the worry and coaxed her sister to sleep, only then did she finally see her mother who had returned late. Seeing that she was safe, she let out a long breath.

Su Zhi said, "Sorry, Mother has something to worry about outside."

She apologized to the child and did not mention the matter of the back mountain. Lying on the bed, she was still fearful and her entire body was trembling.

All night long, the nightmare was the scene of a wild beast constantly fleeing for its life.

The night wind quickly blew away the excess moisture. Before Xiao Qian could return to the camp, the wet spots on his body had dried up, leaving only a few shallow water stains.

However, what he did not understand was that his body was emitting a mixture of the fragrance of flowers and fruits. It was different from the fragrance of a normal woman, this smell was purer and better.

He lowered his head to take a sniff at the few marks on his body and realized that Su Zhi was the one who had caused this disaster.

Xiao Qian was quite surprised, how could this woman be so fragrant? He wondered what she ate.

He took off his outer garment and placed it in the frame, waiting for the personal attendant to take up the starter to wash it tomorrow.

Tian'er was hot, and he was used to falling asleep naked, but once he closed his eyes, Su Zhi's beautiful figure and her proud and arrogant demeanor appeared in his mind.

There seemed to be a faint fragrance lingering on his breath. He stretched out his hands and found that it was indeed the familiar smell.

Xiao Qian was a bit agitated. He wanted to get up and take a sip of his wine, but he was afraid that his body would feel even hotter so he called out from the tent, "Servants, come have some tea!"

Strict and cautious, this was the first time that the Great General Xiao could not sleep. The patrolling soldiers were puzzled. Why was it that after such a short period of time, the general seemed to have lost much of his sleepiness?

In the past, in order to prevent the enemy from raiding, one had to check the military accounts and sleep much later than an ordinary person. However, there was still time to rest.

It was an unusual night. The general had not slept a wink all night.

The next day, Su Zhi, who had been frightened, woke up late and hurriedly prepared breakfast.

Usually the bugles in the barracks were as punctual as crowing roosters, and they slept without being heard this morning.

As she was busy, she found out that Xiao Qian had spent the entire night looking through the books. Not long ago, he had narrowed his eyes and realized that it wasn't easy for his subordinates to take care of him, so she didn't let the sound of the horn disturb his rest.

As she cooked the porridge, Su Zhi felt a little bit guilty. Last night, she had wanted to save herself, but she didn't know if Xiao Qian was injured or not.

He was powerful, and the wolf couldn't do anything to him, but he might have a scrape on the outside.

Su Zhi decided to check on Xiao Qian's condition. After breakfast was ready, she scooped up a big bowl of porridge and carried a few dishes out to seek an audience.

The soldier who reported the news took a look at the situation inside. "Let Su Zhi put down the porridge. Little Sister-in-law can put down the porridge after she goes in. We'll talk about it after the general wakes up."

Su Zhi agreed. "Alright."

She quietly walked in with the lunch box in her hand. Xiao Qian, who was resting on a chair with his hands behind his back, was resting with his head on his head. His eyebrows were furrowed slightly, and he seemed to be unwell.

Afraid that his hands would get numb if he held them for too long, Su Zhi was afraid that if he held them for too long, so she wanted to remind Xiao Qian, but was afraid that she would disturb his rest.

When she looked at Xiao Qian from the opposite side of the light, Su Zhi discovered that he wasn't only handsome, he was also very attractive.

It was unknown if it was because he had not slept for the entire night that his originally bright and clean chin had turned slightly green. However, it perfectly added to his manly charm.

Xiao Qian's facial features were somewhat heroic and his skin was delicate, but it didn't reveal a hint of femininity. Even though his thick eyelashes made her jealous, he still looked like an elegant man.

Su Zhi stared at him unblinkingly, and silently cursed. How could there be such a good-looking man with such good kung fu?

When the woman looked down, she could vaguely see his sturdy and strong upper body. Su Zhi could not help but swallow her saliva, and quickly shifted her gaze away. She lifted her head and met with a pair of deep eyes.
