He Submissive ld have anticipated this.
In the Military Camp, Kun Ze was not allowed entry, and General He’s Military Camp had no camp prostitutes. Many of the Tian Qian would seek out a Zhong Yong in the Military Camp to relieve their physical needs, and someone like him was naturally the first choice for this group. Not to mention that they had all consumed deer blood today, which stirred their energy and blood!
The gaze of Ye Chen was filled with a hunger that seemed ready to devour him whole.
Ye Chen quietly pushed away Zhou Laosan's hand resting on his Submissive lder. Just as he intended to get up and leave, he was immediately blocked by several Tian Qian nearby.
“Where are you going, little brother?”
“Yeah, stay and have a drink with us before you go.”
Rows of dark figures loomed like mountains in front of him, instantly blocking out all light.
Ye Chen raised his head, his heart tightening sharply.
The group of shadows advanced toward him step by step, while he retreated until his heels pressed against the charred branches by the fire, making a crackling sound. With nowhere left to retreat, two small figures appeared in front of him.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
Shuanzi stood in front of Ye Chen, his eyes darting nervously as he feared the imposing presence of the Tian Qian. Yet he trembled on his legs, determined to stand before Ye Chen.
Li Yun also pulled Ye Chen behind him, frowning as he glared at the group. “We’re all from the same Military Camp. What’s going on? What has Ye Chen done to deserve being pushed toward the fire?”
Ye Chen's tense heart instantly relaxed. But it was terrifying; just standing there, this group of Tian Qian exuded an overwhelming pressure that was hard to resist.
The group of Tian Qian paused for a moment upon seeing Li Yun and Shuanzi, then burst into laughter. "You two better step aside. Who's forcing him? We're just trying to take care of him!"
It was clear that they had been drinking too much and were looking for trouble.
As someone approached, Shuanzi quickly raised his hand to block Zhou Laosan. "I... I’m telling you... we are from Scout Camp. You’d better not come any closer, or else... I won’t hold back."
Zhou Laosan chuckled. "Scout Camp?"
He glanced at Shuanzi's trembling legs and, with a knowing smile, grabbed the waistband of his pants and lifted him effortlessly, tossing him aside.
"Shuanzi!"
Ye Chen and Li Yun watched as Shuanzi soared through the air before crashing to the ground and rolling away. He dusted himself off, indicating he was fine, and nodded at them, which eased their worries.
"You still have time to care about others? You Submissive ld be more concerned about yourselves." Zhou Laosan stepped forward and shoved Li Yun aside. Li Yun fell to the ground without resistance, clinging to his legs.
"Ye Chen, run!"
Ye Chen immediately tensed his legs, ready to escape, but it was too late; he had already been surrounded by these "mad dogs."
Seeing the crazed look in the eyes of the Tian Qian, Ye Chen felt a chill run down his spine. It hadn’t even been a month yet; in just a few days, had his Xin Xiang been exposed? Why were these people acting like they were rabid, ready to pounce on him?
Was it too late for him to take one now?
Suddenly, a large hand pressed down on Ye Chen's Submissive lder. Realizing the danger, he instinctively tried to crouch down and twist away from the grip. But before he could move, someone behind him exerted force and held him tightly in their embrace.
Ye Chen's hands were pinned against the chest of the man before him, unable to move. When he looked up, he found himself locking eyes with Lou Yu.
Ye Chen thought, "…You little brat, why are you here too?"
Lou Yu raised an eyebrow and smiled, releasing his grip on Ye Chen. As Ye Chen was freed, Lou Yu stepped forward, standing directly in front of him. With his Li Hua Spear, he poked at the embers in the fire pit, sending sparks flying towards the group of Tian Qian. He spoke without any hesitation, "This kid is mine; don't even think about laying a hand on him."
"Lou Yu, what are you doing?" Zhou Laosan quickly dodged the sparks and glared at Lou Yu with hostility.
Lou Yu pointed his Li Hua Spear sharply at Zhou Laosan's neck with a loud clang, his youthful face radiating a fierce aura. "Are you declaring war against me?"
"You…" Zhou Laosan's face turned red with anger. Just as he stepped forward, someone beside him pulled him back. "Forget it; why bother fighting him? We can't win against him anyway. He's just a Zhong Yong; if he likes him, let him have him."
"Hmph."
In the end, Zhou Laosan flicked his sleeves and left, followed by a group of people trailing behind him.
The crowd around the fire pit suddenly diminished by more than half, leaving mostly Zhong Yong behind. They had often been bullied by the Tian Qian, but today they finally had someone to stand up for them.
Some Zhong Yong spat at the retreating figures of the Tian Qian and then turned to Lou Yu with smiles. "Thank you so much, General Xiao Lou. If it weren't for you today, this brother might have fallen victim to those people's wicked hands."
Lou Yu waved his hand dismissively. "It was nothing special."
"General Xiao Lou?"
Li Yun and Shuanzi had just gotten back on their feet when they heard the crowd calling Lou Yu "General Xiao Lou," leaving them momentarily stunned.
“Shuanzi, Li Yun, what’s wrong with you two?” Ye Chen nudged them with his elbow. “Hey, thanks a lot for your help earlier. I’ll make you a bowl of beef noodles tomorrow.”
“Beef noodles?” Lou Yu perked up, leaning in closer. “I want some too.” With that, he turned and squeezed into the campfire circle.
“Got it, I’ll make you two bowls,” Ye Chen replied, patting Lou Yu on the back.
“Ye Chen, who is he…” Li Yun and Shuanzi exchanged glances, their eyes darting between each other and Lou Yu.
“Oh, this is Lou Yu, General Xiao Lou. You’ve met him before,” Ye Chen said casually as he brushed off the dirt from his clothes. “We all had a meal together not long ago. Don’t you remember?”
Shuanzi looked a bit awkward. “We’ve met, but you never mentioned he was General Xiao Lou!”
Li Yun added, “Yeah, how can a general sit and eat with us? Isn’t that…”
“What’s wrong with that?” Lou Yu interrupted, having torn off a piece of deer meat from somewhere and walking over to dig in right in front of Ye Chen.
Ye Chen thought to himself: I really don’t have a hobby for watching food shows; who can take this little boy away?
Seeing Lou Yu approach, Li Yun and Shuanzi grew somewhat uneasy. “General Xiao Lou.”
Lou Yu paused for a moment. “No need for that. Just call me Lou Yu like usual.” He chuckled self-deprecatingly. “Besides, what kind of general am I? I’m just an idle person without even a proper military position.”
Hearing this, it seemed like the young man had a somewhat melancholic past.
Li Yun and Shuanzi exchanged glances and immediately moved closer to surround Lou Yu, starting the conversation. “Hey, I heard that our supplies are about to run out soon. General He and General Ling are discussing who Submissive ld be sent as the supply officer to transport provisions to the Cangzhou border. Who do you think General He will send this time?”
"Who could possibly know? Each of the major commanders has their own duties, and with the Wolf Tribe starting to invade again, it's difficult to find someone with both time and an official position to send out for transporting supplies," Shuanzi said, feigning innocence.
Lou Yu's downcast eyes suddenly sparkled with light as he looked up sharply. "Right! I'll go request the position of supply officer for this transport."
Shuanzi and Li Yun, each placing a hand on Lou Yu's back, exchanged a smile and a high-five.
Ye Chen smiled silently.
It was as if a switch had been flipped; Lou Yu didn't even finish the last few bites of meat he had before tossing them into Ye Chen's arms. Grabbing the Li Hua Spear, he dashed towards General He’s main tent.
The piece of venison was quickly snatched up by Li Yun, Shuanzi, and Ye Chen, who all scrambled to share it.
"Hey, save me a bite! Why are you being so stingy?"
"No, you bit the wrong thing; that's my hand! Let go!"
"…"
Not far away, the hem of a white robe disappeared around the corner of a tent by the campfire.
