Dongxiang came specially to pick up Gu Xiangqiu and Hua Ling. He was still very happy when he ran over from a distance. As he ran closer and closer, he could clearly see the appearance of the people next to Gu Xiangqiu. His pace gradually slowed down, and then he walked until he could see Hua Ling clearly.
He kept looking at Hua Ling from a distance. Then he said this: "General, if you don't want us to see a beautiful girl, just say it. There is no need to bring a random man back."
Hua Ling smiled awkwardly, and Gu Xiangqiu hit Dongxiang's head with his fist: "This is the eldest princess Hua Ling, with the word Wushuang."
Dongxiang touched the painful head after being beaten, raised his eyes and looked at Hua Ling, thinking about how to call Hua Ling, and then said: "Wushuang...brother?"
"Hello," Hua Ling extended her hand to express her goodwill. After Dongxiang held her hand, she asked the question in her heart, "You seem to be looking forward to me showing off in a feminine way?"
Dongxiang glanced at Gu Xiangqiu aggrievedly: "Who told General Gu to keep saying that the girls in the palace are very cute? We soldiers are very curious. The general sent a message saying that the eldest princess agreed to come to the frontier. I thought I could see it.
A petite and cute little girl.”
"Don't think about being petite and cute. Even when the eldest princess was a girl, she was taller and smaller than you." Gu Xiangqiu held the horse's reins in his hands and crossed his arms, looking at Dongxiang, who was a head shorter than himself, with disdain.
"Could it be that all the girls in the palace are very tall?!" Dong Xiang looked at Hua Ling in disbelief.
Hua Ling shook his head: "Maybe I'm the only one who grows up faster. My younger brothers and sisters seem to only reach below my lips at most."
"And you are still a woman." Gu Xiangqiu recalled the appearance of the princes and Hua Ling's height before, "Now, it may reach up to the shoulders at most."
Dongxiang's expression of disbelief was always there, and Hua Ling just smiled awkwardly after hearing this.
After returning to the military tent, Gu Xiangqiu asked Hua Ling whether he planned to sleep in a tent alone or with others. Hua Ling didn't care who he slept with and didn't want to cause trouble, so he chose to sleep with others.
"You won't suddenly turn into a woman, right?" Gu Xiangqiu held his chin and looked at Hua Ling sitting in the military tent.
Hua Ling was puzzled by Gu Xiangqiu's appraising eyes: "No, what's wrong?"
"I don't feel comfortable placing you in those soldiers' tents, since you are also a woman."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Hua Ling looked around Gu Xiangqiu's tent and said, "How about sleeping with you?"
Gu Xiangqiu didn't seem to have thought about this possibility. He paused and thought, nodded, and then went to prepare the bed. Before leaving, he told Hua Ling that she could move around as she pleased and just remember to come back when the time came. Moreover, Dongxiang might have told all the soldiers that the princess had become a boy.
Yeah, Hua Ling probably won't show up and be stopped and asked why she's not training... maybe.
So Hua Ling really treated the campground as a market.
After Dongxiang returned to the camp, he almost ran directly towards his brothers, talking endlessly about the topic of "the princess's divine descent turned her into a man".
The other soldiers obviously didn't believe it. Although everyone had heard of many abilities descended from gods, the ability to change gender was too strange.
"I'm serious, Brother Wushuang is so tall, and he looks stronger than Huo Ning!" Dongxiang gestured with joy, glanced at Huo Ning, who was sitting next to him drinking water, and used him as a metaphor.
"But Huoning is already on par with the general. Do you want to say that the princess is taller and more powerful than the general?"
Dong Xiang recalled the way Gu Xiangqiu and Hua Ling stood together, and nodded seriously: "If you want to say it, from a distance, I thought the princess was a general..." Dong Xiang wiped his face from top to bottom with his hands inexplicably.
While they were discussing here, suddenly a soldier shouted not far away: "Hey, what are you doing? Why don't you go to training?"
Dongxiang and others looked over there. Dongxiang was stunned for a moment and then quickly covered the mouth of the soldier who was speaking: "That's Princess Hua Wushuang!"
The soldier whose mouth was suddenly covered: "Huh??!"
Hua Ling had already seen Dongxiang discussing something with others, and walked over with a smile, not paying attention to what the soldier said: "What are you talking about?"
Dongxiang slowly put down the hand that was covering others, slapped the soldier, scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly: "I'm sharing about the princess turning into a man..."
"It is indeed something worth sharing. Huh? What are you looking at me for?" Hua Ling looked around. The soldiers who had just been chatting and discussing with Dongxiang all looked at her, feeling uncomfortable being stared at.
.
"Really tall..."
"If we had a fight with Huoning, who would win?"
"Are you crazy? This is a princess!"
…
The small sounds continued, and Hua Ling could basically hear the content. He turned his eyes and looked at Huo Ning, who was sitting in the corner holding a water bag.
Huo Ning? A name I haven’t heard of often. Hua Ling thought this.
As if feeling the sight, Huo Ning raised his head and looked at Hua Ling, but Hua Ling made no attempt to avoid his gaze. When Huo Ning saw Hua Ling smiling at him, the hand holding the water bag paused, lowered his head, and stood up to leave.
.
"Why did he leave?" Hua Ling was puzzled.
"Who?" Dongxiang looked back curiously to find the direction Hua Ling was looking at and the "him" in her mouth. He noticed that it was Huo Ning's back and shrugged, "Ah - Huo Ning, he probably went to find his younger brother. Brother Wushuang
Curious about Horning?"
"I'm quite curious. Is his brother here too?"
"Well, Huo Ning's younger brother is called Huo Dou. He is very weak and can't practice well, so the general asked Huo Dou to do odd jobs."
"..."
Huo Dou...Huo Dou?
Hua Ling recalled the mythical beasts she saw in the time and space gap, and it seemed that there was a large dog that looked very similar to Fu Dou in the records.
"I'll go take a look." It would be convenient if you were a time traveler.
"Look...?" Before Dongxiang could react, Hua Ling followed Huo Ning to see Huo Dou.
When we arrived, we discovered that Huo Dou was the handyman who was lighting the fire in the kitchen, which seemed to be correct, after all, Huo Dou was a fire person.
Before he even got close to the kitchen, Huo Ning stopped Hua Ling who was following him: "What are you doing here?"
"I heard from Dongxiang that you have a younger brother. Come and have a look."
"……Why?"
"Why, are you curious?"
"Just out of curiosity?"
"You think I'm a bad person?"
Hua Ling's frankness made Huo Ning puzzled.
At this time, a boy came out of the house. After stretching, he saw Huo Ning and Hua Ling. He was stunned for a second or two and then came over: "Brother!"
The moment Hua Ling looked at Huo Dou, she saw the totem on his face, which was a dog bathed in flames.
"Ha! He is indeed a time traveler!" Hua Ling looked at the totem on Huo Dou's left cheek as if he had discovered a treasure.
Huo Dou took a small step back after hearing the word "travel" and looked at Hua Ling: "You, you are...?"
Hua Ling patted her chest: "I am Fang Qitian!"
Huo Dou looked at Hua Ling standing in front of him in surprise. Huo Ning couldn't understand what they were talking about, but his brother seemed to really know this princess.
