Chapter 25: Shirt Half Removed

  The bonfire in the campsite crackled, and Chen Kefu, the commander-in-chief, of course, couldn't just wait for dawn like those Goguryeo people by the bonfire. He had a tent not far from where the grain was stored.

  Finally, Chen Kefu also walked towards the tent after accompanying several school lieutenants to inspect the camp. As soon as he lifted the curtain, Chen Kefu saw a handsome little soldier wearing a close attendant uniform bending over and cooking something in the tent. Hearing the sound, the man quickly turned his head to look over.

  "What are you doing?" Chen Kefu looked at the clean face with a few streaks of dirt on his personal soldier, who was none other than Xiao Lixia, whom he had taken in at New City. Since she agreed to follow him, Xiao Lixia had fully entered her role and considered herself Chen Kefu's private life assistant. Every day, she made the bed, did the laundry, and brewed tea, making Chen Kefu very satisfied in every aspect.

  This time back to Liaodong, he naturally also wanted to bring her along, but originally in the new city, he could still put him in the small building in the backyard. Now on an expedition, it's not possible to openly bring a woman, this is a major taboo in the military, although on the battlefield, many generals would secretly abduct some women, but basically they were all sneaking around. For generals of their level, as long as they didn't do anything too out of line, even if it was the emperor, they would generally turn a blind eye.

  After thinking for half a day, Chen Kefu had no choice but to disguise Mei Jiaonang as one of his personal soldiers. However, Xiao Lixia was indeed too delicate and charming, even in men's clothing and armor, she couldn't hide her enchanting demeanor. Fortunately, Li Benlei and other military officers knew that this handsome soldier was a maid sent by Gao Qi to serve Chen Kefu, otherwise they would have thought that Chen Kefu had a fondness for beautiful boys.

  Oono Risa wiped her face with her sleeve, stood up and pinched the hem of her clothes, saying, "Sir, I think you've had a tiring day, so I wanted to make you a bowl of tea. However, this fire has been burning for half a day and still hasn't warmed up, and the water hasn't boiled yet. Please sit down first, sir, and I'll be done in just a moment."

  After finishing, she squatted down beside the fireplace and poured the tea into the pot. Looking at her serious expression, Chen Kefu also smiled slightly. Although she was just a songstress from Japan, every time he saw her gentle and elegant behavior, thinking of her appearance, Chen Kefu always couldn't help but feel a few points of familiarity and closeness. In this world of war dominated by men, having such a weak and beautiful servant girl accompanying him every day also made him feel a bit more relaxed and calm, just like listening to a soothing piano melody when he was tired.

  "You don't have to call yourself a servant girl from now on. I, Chen Kefu, am not used to such habits. Since you are willing to follow me, I won't treat you unfairly. Just consider it as working for me, and your monthly salary will not be reduced. If one day you want to get married or whatever, I'm also willing to let you go."

  "Sir, are you dissatisfied with me? Or do you think I'm useless and can't even make a good cup of tea?"

  "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. If you're willing to follow me, I'll treat you well too. But if you follow me, it won't end well for you either, I won't be able to give you much." Chen Kefu knew that in the Great Sui Dynasty, he wouldn't be able to marry this songstress from Eastern Wei. The best outcome would be for her to become one of his concubines later on. As a modern person, Chen Kefu couldn't bring himself to take these things for granted. He wanted to make it clear to her now that if she was looking for an ordinary life with someone, living together as husband and wife, he wouldn't want to hold her back, even though he would be reluctant to let her go.

  "Sir, I don't know how many lifetimes it took for me to be so fortunate as to meet you. As long as you won't drive me away, I'll never leave your side even if I die." After saying that, she didn't wait for Chen Kefu's response and turned around to continue brewing tea on the ground. Before long, the tea was ready, and Xiao Lisha quickly added some goat milk into it. Then, she poured a bowl of the milk tea and handed it to Chen Kefu, saying, "Sir, you've been marching for a whole day, try this milk tea. I heard that drinking some milk tea can help replenish your energy. This is my first time brewing it, so it's not very good. If you think it doesn't taste good, I'll brew another one for you."

  Chen Kefu still had a lot to say, but facing the somewhat persistent look of Ono Risa, and even responding with such consideration, he suddenly felt that he couldn't say anything. He even thought that if it weren't for his past life being too detestable towards Japan, if this were a woman from the Central Plains, perhaps he would have had a different attitude. Some concepts also cannot be changed overnight, Chen Kefu sighed inwardly, since she was willing to follow him, regardless of whether it was true or false, then he wouldn't dwell on those things anymore.

  He smiled slightly, took the bowl of hot milk tea, and Chen Kefu took a sip. Although this milk tea felt strange, after being tired all day, having such a warm mouthful of milk tea was already more comfortable than anything else.

  Chen Kefu smiled and finished the tea in his bowl, handing it over and saying, "The taste is really good, let's have another bowl. You've been busy all morning, sit down and have a bowl of tea with me."

  Two people sat in the tent, sipping milk tea mouthful by mouthful, which was also a relaxing moment after a day of hard marching. Thinking of Xiao Ye's awkward appearance when she rode a horse for the first time this morning, Chen Kefu couldn't help but smile, "How's your horse riding now? Didn't you fall off today?"

  As soon as Ono Risa heard Chen Kefu ask about her horse riding, her face turned red with embarrassment. The first time she rode a horse today was really awkward, but fortunately Chen Kefu taught her personally. However, the feeling of riding a horse is not very pleasant for those who ride it for the first time. After riding all day, Ono Risa's delicate skin felt like her inner thighs were still burning in pain. Originally, she wanted to find an opportunity to let Chen Kefu take her in over the next few days, but now that she was in this state, even if Chen Kefu really wanted to take her to bed, she wouldn't be able to do it.

  Chen Kefu looked at Ono Risa, who was blushing and not saying a word, but her hands were touching her thighs, probably understanding what it meant. The Chen Kefu before his rebirth was no ordinary person. He wrote a bestseller in middle school, which was adapted into a movie. In high school, he used the money from his writing to start his own business and founded an internet company. Within just two or three years, relying on the innovative concept of the internet company, it attracted many venture capital investments.

  In the fourth year of his entrepreneurship, the company was listed on NASDAQ in the United States. After listing, he became the world's youngest billionaire at the age of 21. After turning 25, he announced his retirement and spent his days living a leisurely life, doing charity work, chasing girls, writing and creating art. At that time, he also learned horseback riding, a noble sport, which was not easy for him to learn. Later on, if he hadn't insisted on participating in F1 racing, he wouldn't have traveled through time to this era over 1,000 years ago.

  Chen Kefu didn't say a word and went out of the tent, which made Xiao Ye Lian touch her thigh with some inexplicable confusion. Before she could figure out what was going on, Chen Kefu had already come back.

  He handed a small bottle to Kojima Rie, "This is the ointment I just got from the doctor in the military camp. Apply it to the worn-out place and you'll be fine in a day or two. Tomorrow, don't ride a horse anymore, sit on the ox cart with those wounded soldiers, anyway we have many ox carts this time." After finishing speaking, Chen Kefu turned around and walked out of the tent again, standing outside to avoid her.

  Standing outside the tent, Chen Kefu looked at the still bustling camp and couldn't help but sigh. He had come to this Sui Dynasty and unexpectedly become a third-grade official of this so-called great dynasty. If he didn't know that the Sui Dynasty was about to perish soon, in just a few years, not only would he be a third-grade official, but even those who became kings or emperors would have one after another. He might really be very satisfied with the current situation. However, the more people knew, the more painful it was. As the person who was awake while everyone else was drunk in this great Sui Dynasty, he was not satisfied at all with his current high-ranking official position that had fallen from the sky. Yes, he was not satisfied at all. He hoped to accumulate more capital for himself as soon as possible in this chaotic world. As a person who became one of the youngest billionaires in the world at the age of 21 before crossing over, he was never a person who was content with being ordinary. His heart always had a passionate and ambitious spirit.

  He stood there lost in thought, when a tiny voice like a mosquito's from within the tent broke his train of thought. "Sir, could you please come in for a moment?"

  Chen Kefu smiled and threw the things in his mind back into the depths of his heart, lifted the flap and walked in. However, as soon as he walked in, he was stunned there. At this time, Ono Risa's face was flushed with a peach-like complexion, sitting on a bear skin cushion inside the account, her pants had already slipped down halfway, revealing her entire thigh, even her white underwear could be seen clearly.

  Looking at this scene that filled the entire tent with an ambiguous atmosphere, Chen Kefu was also somewhat puzzled as to what was going on. Was Xiao Ye Lisha using her charm on him? Was she trying to entice him with her beauty?

  Xiaoli's face turned red to the point of dripping water, seeing Chen Kefu stunned there and not coming over, she said softly, "General, I have some places on my legs that I couldn't reach, can you help me wipe them?"

  Listening to that soft voice, the half-undressed appearance, especially the white and clean big legs exposed under the clothes. His original intention to go to the camp to call a Goguryeo woman to help her wipe was thrown away in an instant.

  Vote for me... I feel like I've been stuck on the new book chart for days...
