Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

It turned out that what Zhenxi General had seen were precisely those picture books Qianqian had been reading recently, which used him as their model.

He picked up one of them and quickly flipped through a few pages, finding it more and more absurd the more he looked.

The content described in these picture books was actually a fictional love story between this general and the Eldest Miss of the Capital Chancellor's Mansion.

One must know that Xishang Kingdom had only one Xiangshang, and this Xiangshang had only two sons under his knees, with no daughter at all. So this was clearly baseless fabrication.

What made Zhenxi General even more furious was that, although he himself was Zhenxi General, the general in these picture books was called Zhendong General. This was simply a public offense and slander against him!

Zhenxi General couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Just who compiled this? Isn't it too outrageous!"

He continued flipping through the books and found two more: one cover depicted a cold general and a pitiful woman, titled "The General Is Too Cold, Chasing Wife to the Crematorium";

the other cover showed a domineering general and a delicate woman, titled "Domineering General Falls in Love With Me."

Seeing these two books, Zhenxi General's face turned green with rage. Without a word, he directly threw the three books hard onto Xiao Jiao Jin's face, roaring: "Put them away properly! Whose books are these? Let him come find me immediately after training!!"

Xiao Jiao Jin was startled by this sudden scene. He hurriedly wiped the sweat from his face and answered trembling: "Yes, General."

Then he carefully picked up the three books and held them tightly in his arms.

Next, the two walked out of the tent and continued to check the other tents. In the next several tents, they found several more Spring Palace Pictures.

Seeing these pictures, Zhenxi General felt these Spring Palace Pictures did not make him as angry as those three picture books, so he simply stopped checking, turned around, and returned to his own camp tent.

Xiao Jiao Jin carried that pile of contraband, following closely behind, and placed them inside Zhenxi General's camp tent.

After placing them, Xiao Jiao Jin breathed a sigh of relief as if unburdened, then hurriedly went out to watch everyone training. Time passed quickly, and a morning of training ended in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Jiao Jin blew the gathering whistle. Hearing the whistle, although everyone was already panting with exhaustion, they still had to muster their spirits and gather together.

They were all eager to go eat, but had to listen to Xiao Jiao Jin speak unwillingly.

Xiao Jiao Jin stood solemnly before everyone, his voice loud and serious: "This morning, I searched everyone's camp tents together with Zhenxi General. Regarding the matter of everyone carrying contraband, I must explain it in detail here."

He paused slightly, looked around at everyone, then continued: "In our military camp, some items are absolutely forbidden to carry.

First, any controlled knives are not allowed to appear here, to ensure everyone's safety.

Second, items related to women are also strictly prohibited, such as certain books with color. In addition, drinking alcohol is also forbidden in the military camp, whether brought in or consumed inside."

Xiao Jiao Jin's tone grew increasingly stern: "Also, carrier pigeons, fireworks signals, and other communication tools cannot be carried, because they might leak military secrets.

Gambling tools are absolutely not allowed to appear, whether dice or pai gow, none allowed! At the same time, various powders, including knockout drugs and poisons, are also forbidden to be brought into the military camp.

Finally, large amounts of gold, silver, and treasures should not appear here, as it would affect military morale."

His gaze was like a torch, scanning every person's eyes, as if wanting to see through their appearance into the depths of their hearts. "Did everyone hear clearly?" he asked loudly.

The response to his voice was like thunder in the ears, deafening. Everyone answered in unison: "Heard!"

Xiao Jiao Jin nodded in satisfaction, then said: "Previously I was negligent and did not explain these regulations clearly to everyone. So, this time it's let go.

But if I discover anyone carrying contraband next time, don't blame me for making you train separately!"

His words struck everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer, and everyone expressed understanding one after another.

Finally, Xiao Jiao Jin waved his hand and said: "Alright, everyone except Wang Ming'an and Luo Shun can go eat."

Hearing this, Qianqain couldn't help but feel doubtful. She exchanged a glance with Luo Shun, and both wore blank expressions.

As the others left one after another, they all cast sympathetic glances at Qianqian and Luo Shun, seemingly thinking in their hearts: "What's going on? Was some secret discovered?" However, everyone only speculated briefly before turning and leaving.

In an instant, only Xiao Jiao Jin, Qianqian, and Luo Shun remained. Qianqian and Luo Shun stood motionless, quietly waiting for Xiao Jiao Jin to speak.

Finally, Xiao Jiao Jin broke the silence. Looking at Qianqian and Luo Shun, he slowly asked: "Just whose are those picture books?"

Qianqian almost without hesitation blurted out: "Mine!"

Her tone was firm and direct. Xiao Jiao Jin nodded slightly, showing he understood, then said: "Hmm, since that's the case, go to Zhenxi General's camp tent."

"Go where?" Qianqian suddenly came to her senses and asked with a face full of shock.

A terrible thought flashed through her mind—had Zhenxi General seen those three picture books?!

Thinking of this, Qianqian's heart suddenly raced. She roared inwardly: "Ah! Will he punish me to death!"

At this moment, Qianqian's mind was filled with various terrible consequences, and she felt as if she had already fallen into a desperate situation.

Xiao Jiao Jin gently patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Young man, having some hobbies is quite good."

After speaking, he seemed to recall the names of those picture books he had seen, and a smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth. However, he said nothing more, turned around, and left.

Luo Shun looked at Qianqian, his face showing worry, and hesitantly asked: "Eldest Brother Ming'an, why don't I go instead? I'll say those picture books are mine."

However, Qianqian firmly shook her head and replied: "Luo Brother, you go eat first, and just save me a steamed bun. I take responsibility for my own actions, you can rest assured."
