Chapter 552 - 276: Yun Zheng Really Wants to Slap These Two Brothers

"What are you still looking at? The Commander has given the order, so let’s all disperse. Go, go, go, let’s get some rest early, and prepare well for the battle."

"Let’s go, let’s go..."

Soon, the large Commander’s Tent became empty as the officers departed, leaving a serene quietness.

Southeast lookout post.

The sound of hooves thundered from afar, and everyone turned their heads to see a fine horse galloping swiftly toward them, stopping at the entrance of the post in a flash.

The man on the horse had a handsome and heroic face, clad in armor that exuded an extraordinary aura, and an overwhelming air of majesty and power.

"Welcome, Commander."

The soldiers at the post all bent over and bowed their heads in unison, saluting in perfect synchrony.

"Open the gate."

Yun Zheng waved his hand nonchalantly, raising his chin as he looked from a distance beyond the wooden fence to the two figures outside the post.

Creak...

The wooden gate was pulled open, and Yun Zheng pulled on the reins, making the horse trot out.

"Dad~"

Two voices called out as the brothers rode over on horseback, and in a blink, the three horses were together.

"What are you two doing here?"

Yun Zheng frowned, looking at Yun Wanchen, then at Yun Wanye.

Then, inevitably, he saw that little head exposed in Yun Wanye’s arms, meeting those watery, bright, and lively eyes.

Yun Zheng: "..."

Yun Zheng’s face instantly turned black, darker than the bottom of a pot!!!!

These two brats, it’s fine they sneaked over by themselves, but why did they bring Ningning too?

What was their mother thinking, how could she agree to let them take Ningning away???

If it weren’t for so many people watching, Yun Zheng really wanted to give both these brothers a strong smack, knocking them off their horses.

Don’t they know what kind of place this is, daring to bring his little darling here, truly reckless and deserving of a scolding!

[Dad, I’m here too, I came as well.]

[Dad, are you surprised? Unexpected???]

Yun Zheng: "..."

No surprise, just a fright!!!

He instinctively reached out, wanting to take the little one into his arms.

But then he recalled he was wearing armor, with some areas hooked up by weapons, and if he held her, it might scratch her tender skin.

So, Yun Zheng had no choice but to retract his hands and abandon the idea.

"Ahem, Dad left without saying goodbye, and Mom was worried about you, so she sent us kids to check on you."

With others around, Yun Wanchen used the same excuse he made up for the Centurion to respond to Yun Zheng.

"Hmm, it’s quite unexpected."

Yun Zheng nodded, his eyes looking at Yun Wanqing, speaking with a double meaning.

On the surface, this was said to Yun Wanchen, but in fact, it was responding to her previous inner thoughts.

The Yun Family siblings were all sharp, naturally they could understand.

Yun Wanqing smiled with her lips pressed together.

[Looks like Dad is only surprised, not delighted.]

Yun Zheng smiled wryly. He also wanted to be delighted, but considering what kind of place this was?

Well, it’s already come to this, what’s the use of saying anything more?

He scowled at the two brothers, saying, "Let’s go, follow your father back to camp, and we’ll talk later."

"Yes, Father, as you command."

In no time, the father and his sons rode back to the Commander’s Tent.

The horses were led away by a young soldier outside the tent.

Inside the Commander’s Tent, only the father and his sons with Yun Wanqing remained, who was curiously examining her surroundings with her dark, bright eyes.

[Hmm, the setting here is quite similar to the Commander’s Tent I’ve seen in dramas from my previous life.]

The next moment, she was taken by a pair of large hands, with a strong scent entering her nostrils.

It was Yun Zheng, who had already removed his armor.

[Dad, you smell too strong!!!]

Yun Wanqing quickly covered her nose with her little hands, wrinkling her features together as if suffocating, looking extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Yun Zheng’s face.

"Sorry Ningning, sorry to bother you. There’s a shortage of water here, and it’s been a long time since I bathed..."

Dingbei Pass suffers from drought and water shortage, coupled with the fact that it’s now winter.

All the rivers are frozen with thick ice, making it very difficult for the soldiers to access water, even for cooking or watering the horses.

Despite their efforts, it was barely enough to meet the daily water needs of people and warhorses.

As for bathing?

There’s simply no condition for that, at most a basin of water for a quick wash.

All soldiers were living like this; Yun Zheng, though the Commander, had privileges but did not want to make it harder for the soldiers in such harsh conditions to enjoy better treatment.

[I understand, Dad, it’s not your problem, actually, the scent isn’t particularly strong, it’s my issue.]

[Dad knows I was a Pharmacist in my previous life, trained my sense of smell from a young age~]

[Therefore, my sense of smell is extraordinarily sensitive, hundreds of times stronger than an ordinary person; even a slight scent is magnified infinitely, perceived very distinctly.]

This was all true.

Though there was no condition for a proper bath, he did wipe himself daily, so Yun Zheng just had the normal scent of an adult male, just a bit stronger—ordinary people wouldn’t notice.

But of course, Yun Wanqing was not ordinary.

[Alas, blame my nose, not Dad.]

[Even though I can’t stand the smell, I still love Dad very much.]

With a smack, she wrinkled her nose, held her breath, and leaned over to give Yun Zheng a comforting kiss on the cheek, leaving him with a face full of saliva.

This gesture eased some of the embarrassment in Yun Zheng’s heart; glancing over, he caught sight of the two brothers stifling their laughter on the side.

Especially Yun Wanye, burying his head, his face practically turning purple from holding back his laughter, his whole body shaking from the effort, showing how hard he was trying.

No doubt they were mocking him.

Yun Zheng’s face turned dark once more, his embarrassment successfully turning into anger, and he kicked toward Yun Wanye, glaring at him with tiger-like eyes.

"Dare to laugh at your old man? I haven’t even settled the score with you yet. Who allowed you to bring Ningning here? Don’t you know what kind of place this is? What did you feed Ningning on the way?"

"If anything happened to Ningning, could you bear that responsibility???"

"Even if Ningning is fine, she must have suffered a lot along the way. Now tell me, for causing hardships for my precious daughter, what should your punishment be???"

Yun Wanye: "..."

It’s not like he was the only one who brought their little sister; wasn’t big brother there too?

Why kick only him?

Was it because he was trying harder to hold back his laughter than big brother?

But he didn’t even laugh out loud, and was trying so hard to hold back, why did he still have to get kicked?

Is there no justice?
