Chapter 108: Soul Transmigration to Another World (2)

After admiring it for a while, Gu Yun picked up the scabbard and hung the long sword back on the wall properly. After tossing and turning all night, the layers of red dresses on her body made her sweat all over. She took off the outermost, complicated ceremonial robe, wearing only the red long dress inside. With her hands and feet finally regaining freedom, Gu Yun gently moved her wrists. Suddenly, she stared at her hands in astonishment, her heart beating faster and faster. These hands were delicate, white, and tender, with slender fingers, beautiful enough to make one's heart move, but... these were not her hands!

Having held guns for many years, the calluses on her hands had reached the point of being abrasive, but these hands were tender to an exaggerated degree, and they were also shockingly small! The shrunken height, the long hair reaching her ankles, the slender hands—too many facts told her that this body was not hers! Heaven! It was too crazy!

A mirror! She needed a mirror! Searching around the room, Gu Yun didn't find a mirror.

The only thing with reflective properties was the heart-protecting mirror on the chest of the armor hanging on the wooden rack. The bronze texture made it vaguely reflect a person's appearance.

Gu Yun walked to the armor, and her heart sank again. The position of the heart-protecting mirror happened to be at her face. In this way, her current height was estimated to be only 158 centimeters?! Looking down at her figure, she was even more tearful. What kind of arms were these? They were simply two toothpicks! And that waist—her thighs used to be thicker than that...

She thought the fact of 158 centimeters was a fatal blow to her, who had always been tall, but when she saw the face in the blurry mirror, Gu Yun, who had always been calm, finally exploded with a low roar, "SHIT!"

In the mirror, the girl had a small, snow-white, and tender face, with two scars on her right cheek. The light willow-leaf eyebrows were very cute, the small, rosy cherry lips were watery, and the most eye-catching thing on the whole face was those eyes. Long eyelashes, crystal clear, round like a little rabbit, flashing with innocent and pure light. The most exaggerated thing was that these eyes were watery, as if they were about to cry at any time! This, this, this—it was simply so cute that Gu Yun wanted to kill someone!

Gu Yun, who had always been known for her calmness and rationality, finally couldn't help but punch the heart-protecting mirror! The heart-protecting mirror was made of pure copper, so naturally, it wouldn't change because of her punch. After a slight sway, the mirror surface was still that tender face, but the difference was that the cold and violent light was flowing in the originally cute and pure eyes...

The tall body, agile movements, abundant physical strength, and strong power—these assets she had always been proud of had vanished instantly. Gu Yun felt panicked and helpless for the first time. But now that Qing's life or death was unknown, and she didn't know where she was, the current situation didn't allow her to panic.

Gu Yun decided to walk out of the room first to see the situation outside. She had only walked a few steps when she found that the long hair reaching her ankles was very troublesome. She frowned slightly, walked to Bing Lian, pulled out the long sword, and cut it off without any attachment. With a silver light flashing, the green silk fell to the ground. A head of black, soft, and smooth green silk was cut by her to the position of her waist.

Hanging the long sword back, Gu Yun smiled, "Thanks, Bing Lian!"

Picking up the thin belt on the skirt, Gu Yun tied a ponytail while walking toward the outside of the room, not noticing that the moment she lowered her head, a faint fluorescent light flashed on Bing Lian on the wall, but it disappeared without a trace very quickly.

Walking to the door, Gu Yun's feet stalled.

Someone! She retreated two steps, and the door was pushed open with a bang. Two tall men dressed as ancient generals walked in.

Gu Yun frowned. Was it because of this body? Her alertness and physical strength seemed to be much worse than before, and she only heard the movement when they were so close. She was secretly annoyed, but didn't show it on her face. She stood still, asking coldly, "Where are you going?"

The two young generals were stunned when they saw the woman in front of them. This woman was so small and cute, and the thin red clothes made her look fresh and dripping. However, there were two scars on her face for some reason, which made them feel a bit of a pity.

Gu Yun secretly observed them, not in a hurry to speak.

The two young generals came back to their senses under Gu Yun's cold gaze. The younger one stepped forward, shouting loudly, "You, come out."

Gu Yun stood still, replying coldly, "Where to?"

The young general didn't expect her to ask and replied impatiently, "This is the General's room; it is not a place for you to stay."

The man yesterday said this was the General's Mansion and his room, so he was naturally the General. And she was lying on his bed in a red wedding dress without any ceremony. The identity of the owner of this body was nine times out of ten his concubine.

In order to figure out the identity of this body, Gu Yun deliberately replied, "I am his wife; why can't I stay in his room?"

"Wife?!" Sure enough, the young general laughed loudly, "Truly overestimating yourself. At most, you can only count as a gift."

A gift? Gu Yun suppressed the doubts in her heart and continued to provoke him, "I am not a gift; I am the General's wife."

"A huge joke. You are not worthy! The Haoyue Kingdom sent you three Qing sisters to our Qiongyue Emperor, and the Emperor sent you to the General. Maybe the General will send you to someone else if he is unhappy. If you are not a gift, what are you!"

Damn it! Gu Yun couldn't help but clench her hands into fists. Emperor, General, a pile of unknown countries and place names, and this body that made her lose her appetite—everything, without much analysis, was already clear. She had arrived in an unknown space-time, and here it was still the period of monarchical autocracy. The identity of this body of hers was a gift sent by a small country to a big country.

Then what about Qing? Where was she? Would she also have arrived in this space-time? Whose body would she have entered?

Looking at the triumphant young general, Gu Yun continued to ask, "Were my sisters all sent into the palace?"

"They..." Just as the young general opened his mouth, an older man beside him interrupted: "Don't talk so much nonsense with her."

"If I tell you to go, then go. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." This woman looked innocent, harmless, weak, and obedient, but those eyes were exceptionally sharp. Dealing with such people, it was better to be careful.

Gu Yun narrowed her eyes slightly. This person's alertness was not weak. The so-called "knowing the master by the servant"—she couldn't underestimate this General's Mansion, especially since she was still a bean sprout figure. Gu Yun followed them out of the door silently, secretly observing the environment of the guards, and acting according to the situation.

The courtyard she was in was very large, with a pine forest planted on the periphery, and the scent of pine wood permeated the air. Walking out of the courtyard, Gu Yun looked back at the courtyard gate, where the three ink-green characters "Lingyun Pavilion" were written powerfully.

"Walk quickly." The young general shouted impatiently. Gu Yun took back her gaze and continued to follow them silently.

Detouring through a winding corridor, the two took Gu Yun all the way to the north. Gu Yun secretly remembered the route they took and soon discovered that the construction of this General's Mansion was very particular. Just the distance they walked, which was not long, had three identical layouts, a design that easily made people think they were lost, leading to getting truly lost by walking randomly.

And the guards here were quite strict. Along the way, she had already seen two teams of patrolling soldiers. They were all steady in their steps and well-trained. When they saw her, they all showed surprise, but soon returned to normal and didn't look at her again.

The further she walked, the more Gu Yun was shocked. The guards here were strict and the terrain was complex. Even before, she wouldn't necessarily be able to break out. If it were now, it would be even more impossible.

"From today on, you will live here. Without the General's order, you are not allowed to step out of the courtyard gate." Gu Yun was thinking, until the young general's cold snort sounded in her ears, and she looked up.

Before her eyes was a small courtyard and a small wooden house. The courtyard gate had no lintel. Although simple and plain, it was very quiet, which Gu Yun still liked. Listening to what they meant, that General was not very satisfied with her and had banished her to this corner of the edge to fend for herself. Gu Yun was secretly happy. This was also good; she could have time to exercise her body and study the escape route.

The two turned to leave, and Gu Yun immediately called out: "Stop. Your General's Mansion doesn't even have clothes? And you don't let people eat their fill?"

With a low snort, the young general replied disdainfully: "You don't need to worry about this. The General's Mansion can still afford to raise a woman."

Gu Yun's sharp eyes flashed. Very good! This was the sentence she wanted.

She could train her previous self into a martial arts champion and an elite in the police force, and she could also train this body from a loli into Lara!

In the council hall, a square wooden table larger than nine eight-immortal tables put together lay in the very center. On the table was a drawing, densely filled with dots and lines. Two tall men stood in front of the drawing, their eyes focused on it.

Picking up the pen and ink on the side, Su Ren drew a circle on a point on the right side of the drawing and sighed in a low voice: "After yesterday's attack drill, you also saw that the right wing of the formation you set up is still too weak. Once the right wing is broken, this formation is finished."

The reason why the Su family army could be famous in the Six Kingdoms and make enemies terrified, and even if it wasn't Big Brother personally leading the troops, it could still be invincible, was mainly because the soldiers of the Su family army were all physically strong and brave in battle, and the formations were ever-changing, making enemies unable to figure out their routines.

These were all thanks to Big Brother. He required the main generals of each camp of the Su family army to study military books and create their own formations or strange tricks for training troops. Every half a year, a battle drill was held. Each main general had to bring his own formation to meet the enemy, and the best formation was selected to be promoted throughout the army. This was also why the practice field had to be opened in the back mountain of the General's Mansion. The three Su brothers, as the commanders of the Su family army, naturally couldn't neglect practice. This year, Big Brother intended to let the Third Brother meet the enemy, but looking at the formation he set up, wanting to win was truly not easy.

Su Yu frowned, his handsome face full of irritability, and replied: "Hmm, I also saw it. I thought about it all night last night and already thought of a way to deal with it. I will practice the soldiers and fight again in half a month!"

Thought of it in one night? Su Ren couldn't agree. The Third Brother's temper was too impatient; he didn't know when he would be able to change it. However, Su Ren didn't intend to scold him. Let him fall a few more times, and his edges and bad habits would naturally become fewer.

"Report!" A loud male voice sounded outside the door.

Su Yu asked coldly: "What is it?"

"Reporting to the Deputy General, that woman has already moved to the backyard, but..." The young general's originally loud voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke.

Su Yu roared impatiently: "Speak if you have something to say."

The young general immediately stood straight and shouted loudly: "She said she wants to be provided with food according to her requirements."

"What?" Before the young general could finish speaking, Su Yu's already bad mood became even more explosive, roaring: "She still wants to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas!" So women were troublesome. Big Brother left, leaving them to clean up the mess!

The young general secretly shrank his shoulders and hurriedly replied: "No, she only requested to eat beef, eggs, and the like. It's just that she eats a lot." Really a lot. For a woman's appetite, it was a bit scary.

Su Yu's face darkened instantly, clouds covering his face. The General's Mansion could afford to raise three thousand soldiers; could it be that one woman could eat him into bankruptcy! Su Yu's round eyes seemed to be spitting fire: "Let her eat as much as she wants! Don't report such small matters to me. Get out!"

"Yes." The young general didn't dare to hesitate and immediately ran away from the council hall. It was said that the Deputy General Su had a bad temper. The rumors were indeed not to be trusted—it was more than just bad; it was simply explosive!

Half a month later. Practice field in the back mountain of the General's Mansion.

At noon, the early summer sun was already hot enough. There was no shelter in the center of the practice field. After drilling the formation for three hours, one thousand soldiers finally had a moment to rest. Because the battle drill was in the afternoon, the soldiers didn't return to the camp in the back mountain to rest, but gathered in groups of three or five to cool off under the trees, occasionally making sneering sounds.

"Is it true?"

Everyone looked incredulous. An old soldier waved his hand and said with a serious face: "Why would I lie to you? Little Zhao in the kitchen is my fellow villager. He told me personally. One meal, she has to eat three catties of beef, ten eggs, one catty of rice, and five cucumbers!"

"I don't believe it!" A young and strong soldier patted his sturdy chest and replied proudly: "I am so strong, and I only eat this much for one meal. She is a woman; how could she eat so much!"
