Feng Zhen glanced sideways at the bamboo scroll on his table, then looked at Liyun's lifeless expression. His mood inexplicably improved.
"Han Mei, what's with that expression?"
Such a beautiful child on the outside, yet he was so dull on the inside. What a waste.
Liyun snapped out of his daze and said helplessly, "Mister Feng, am I dreaming right now? This dream feels too real. "
Feng Zhen was speechless and felt like teasing him.
"Why do you say it's a dream? Come come come, stretch out your arm and let me pinch it for you. See if it hurts. "
Liyun obediently did as he was told. He stretched out his muscular right arm and rolled up his sleeve, revealing tight muscles that made Feng Zhen green with envy.
Thinking about the soft flesh on his arm and then looking at Liyun's tight biceps, he found it irritating no matter how he looked at it.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch … Mister, you're pinching too hard …"
Liyun almost burst into tears. Feng Zhen wasn't pinching him with his fingers, he was clearly pinching him with his nails. It hurt like hell.
"Do you still feel like you're dreaming?"
Feng Zhen resumed his serious demeanor, making it impossible to tell that he was doing it deliberately.
"Mister Feng, since I'm not dreaming, why do people outside say that my lord is a woman? Even you believe this absurd news?" Liyun put down his sleeve, feeling wronged. He felt dizzy, as if his mind was stuffed with too much information for him to digest.
If he knew about the term "sex change," he would probably suspect that when he woke up early in the morning, his lord had a sex change.
Feng Zhen laughed involuntarily. "Our lord is a woman, but because of some internal affairs, she had to disguise herself as a man. Do you understand?"
Liyun nodded blankly, looking as if he was daydreaming.
After a while, he suddenly remembered something.
"Mister, I think I've seen my lord dressed as a woman before. She clearly doesn't look like a woman." Liyun clenched his fists nervously. He still found it hard to accept this reality. "How can such an imposing man like my lord be a woman? Forgive me for being disrespectful, but I feel that if I were to dress as a woman, put on makeup, and tidy myself up, I would probably look more like a woman than my lord. What do you think, Mister? "
Feng Zhen almost bit his own tongue.
Li Yun, this silly child, how could he be so honest?
However, looking at the handsome man in front of him with red lips and white teeth, Feng Zhen felt that Li Yun's words weren't unreasonable.
"When did you see the Lord in women's clothes?"
Feng Zhen had been with Jiang Pengji for quite some time, but he had never seen her wear anything other than men's clothing.
Li Yun answered honestly, "When the lord first established the women's camp, the people of Xiangyang district suspected that the women's camp was an indecent brothel. Even the soldiers of the men's camp thought so. In order to change the impression of the female battalion in the eyes of others, the lord wore the uniform of the female battalion and chose the recruit camp of the male battalion. Right, I remember that Vice Commandant Dian was also one of those recruits. He should also have an impression … "
Thinking of this, Liyun's face suddenly paled, the healthy flush on his cheeks fading.
Feng Zhen was immersed in the gossip. He noticed Liyun's odd behavior and hurriedly asked.
"What's wrong with you, Hanmei? Why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell? "
Liyun shook his head slowly and stammered, "Mister Feng … Yun suddenly remembered something. When the lord said that he wanted to disguise himself as a woman, Yun blurted out, 'A man as imposing as the lord, if you disguise yourself as a woman, Yun won't look good … Yun didn't mean it when I said that … With the lord's personality, he shouldn't have remembered it until now, right?"
After a while, Liyun still didn't receive a reply from Feng Zhen. He raised his head and observed Feng Zhen carefully. He realized that the other was looking at the position behind him with a faint smile … Wait! The position behind him? Liyun's back stiffened and he turned his head with a creak.
Eh —
Jiang Pengji crossed her arms and looked at Liyun and Feng Zhen with interest. Yang Si followed behind her.
"My, my lord!"
Liyun wasn't completely dumbfounded. He hurriedly sat up straight, but his heart was beating like a drum.
I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die …
"I never knew that I had such an image in Hanmei's heart. How could he still remember the old scores from years ago?"
Jiang Pengji smiled as she walked into the main hall and knelt down at the head of the table. Liyun's head drooped lower and lower.
Seeing the group favorite Liyun being bullied by Jiang Pengji, the viewers in the streaming room were heartbroken.
Beauty Zhen Mi: "Trash streamer, you say you won't hold a grudge, but don't bully the little angel Hanmei."
Trash Cao Pi: "That's right, that's right! Look at how scared my Hanmei is. His face is several shades paler than usual. "
The viewers in the streaming room felt injustice for Liyun. How would Liyun know?
He knew he had a guilty conscience. He lowered his head and admitted his mistake. "The lord is magnanimous. Naturally, you're not a petty person who haggles over minor matters."
Jiang Pengji held back her laughter and waved her hand. "Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. Look at you, it's as if I've bullied you."
The alarm was lifted. Liyun heaved a long sigh of relief.
He quickly threw the risk to the back of his mind. He lifted his head and stared at Jiang Pengji's face. He wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Jiang Pengji supported her cheek with one hand and said, "I'm indeed a woman. No matter how you look at me, I won't turn into a man. Instead of being surprised here, why don't you go back and practice your martial arts? You can't even defeat a woman like me, yet you still want to build a career and marry my Wan 'er … "
Liyun widened his eyes in shock. He stammered, "My, my lord … I was wrong!"
Feng Zhen listened to their conversation. He held back his laughter until his cheeks hurt.
Isn't the lord holding a grudge?
She was threatening Liyun with every word. If he can't defeat her, he can forget about marrying Shangguan Wan …
If this isn't holding a grudge, then what is?
Liyun was quite pitiful to have such a lord.
Liyun floated back to the campsite outside the city. When he started practicing his spear in a daze, he suddenly remembered something.
Shouldn't he continue to be shocked or suspect that his lord is a woman? Why did he come here to practice his spear?
After thinking about it, Liyun felt that he couldn't be the only one who was confused.
"Vice Commandant Dian, have you heard the rumors in the city?"
Dian Yan was a pragmatic person. He liked to practice by himself when he had nothing to do. He did more than he spoke.
"What rumors?"
Liyun said, "It's already spread throughout the imperial city. They say that our lord is a woman."
Dian Yan snorted coldly when he heard that. He threw the axes in his hands onto the ground.
"Which idiot dares to slander people like that? I'll chop him in half! "
Meng Hun, who had just finished practicing, happened to walk over. When he heard that, he echoed, "How can you believe such a ridiculous thing?"
Liyun was speechless.
"What if, what if it's true?" Liyun asked softly.
Dian Wei and Meng Hun were straightforward martial artists. It was easier to befriend honest people.
