Chapter 27: Jiejie Takes a Bath
The second-in-command of the Beiyang Fleet, Liu Buchan, who was awarded a first-class hat, actually brought a woman disguised as a man into the Tianjin Military Academy! If he were in the Beiyang Fleet, he would openly hug women on board!
Zhou Xuanzhang couldn't help but burst into flames, that Liu Buxian was originally just a name, what kind of leading the army with strategy! What two sleeves clear wind! All are fake!
What's even more infuriating is that last night, this woman, relying on Liu Buxian's backing, actually spoke disrespectfully to the students of the Tianjin Military Academy! She really doesn't know her place!
He took a deep breath and tried to calm down, but couldn't help glaring at Min Xiu with gritted teeth. As he looked over, he suddenly inhaled sharply.
Off came the uniform, revealing Xiangxiang's delicate features: curved eyebrows, big eyes and small mouth. A piece of dark green Hetian jade hung from her neck, her long hair cascading down to her waist. Her skin was as smooth as congealed fat, her breasts as white as snow, her slender waist swaying gently, like a fairy from the Jade Pool.
No matter in his past life or this life, Zhou Xuan Zhang had never seen such a beautiful woman, nor had he ever seen a woman who was radiant all over her body, let alone one wearing a He Tianyu jade pendant. The purity of the He Tianyu jade intertwined with the sensuality of her skin, causing a fire to burn fiercely in Zhou Xuan Zhang's lower abdomen, making him feel hot and flushed all over, his face bright red, his eyes fixed on her slender snow-white body, unable to move away.
Min Xiu took off her clothes, jumped into the wooden bucket, and splashed water all over herself. The bucket was half a person high, and Min Xiu sat inside it, only revealing her black hair. Zhou Xuan Zhang couldn't see Min Xiu's body and became very anxious.
It's all about the nature of food and sex! Zhou Xuan Zhang, whether in the 21st century or the 19th century, had never been with a woman. The accumulated sexual hunger of two lifetimes made him confused and disoriented, unable to hold on, completely forgetting that he was in danger, and even sticking his head out of the canopy, stretching his neck to look around.
Suddenly, there were loud voices and footsteps outside the door, and someone shouted: "Zhou Xianzhang!"
Zhou Xuan Zhang heard someone calling his name and was so frightened that he shrank into the canopy, feeling utterly hopeless.
While watching the beautiful woman bathing, he didn't realize that the exam had already ended. The students were gathering and they had discovered Zhou Xianzhang's disappearance, and were searching for him everywhere.
It's impossible to escape now. At this time, Zhou Xuanzhang only had one way to go, which was to hurry back to the classroom and pretend nothing had happened.
The problem is, he was locked in the guest room!
Zhou Xuan Zhang was in a dilemma.
Minxiu was still slowly taking a bath, girls take a long time to bathe, and it takes at least half an hour to come out. After coming out, they also need to dress up and put on makeup, which will take at least an hour! If I wait for Minxiu to finish bathing before sneaking out, I'll definitely miss the gathering. Even if Zhou Xuanzhang can make up a lie to fool them, being absent without leave will still result in three days of confinement. If it were usual times, being confined for three days would be okay, but now if I'm confined for three days, that old man Jin might take my head at any time!
If you want to catch up with the gathering, you can only rush out from under Min's eyelids. A girl stripped naked, seeing Zhou Xuan Zhang must shout loudly, startling the school, and investigating, Zhou Xuan Zhang and a naked woman were stuck in a room, he was speechless!
According to the Qing military law, Liu Buxian bringing a woman into the camp was a crime, and Zhou Xuanzhang being with a naked woman would be beheaded on the spot! He didn't even have a chance to explain himself, nor could he explain it anyway.
There is no way out in heaven and no gate to enter earth!
She was getting anxious, and suddenly stood up, revealing her slender figure. Any man who saw this figure would be mesmerized, but Zhou Xuan Zhang was now filled with anxiety, and had no mind to appreciate the beauty of the human body.
Min Xiu rushed out of the house and shouted: "Sakura, who is calling for Zhou Xuan Zhang?"
The door opened and a small soldier walked in. Zhou Xuan Zhang was shocked again, and found that the girl who was taking a bath didn't avoid the soldier.
But then the soldier, Ding, bowed his head and said with a soft voice: "Miss, it seems that they are looking for someone named Zhou Xuan Zhang in the school, many people are running around searching house by house, they seem to be in a hurry, now they have already searched up to Wu Sheng Temple, soon they will search our place..."
It turned out that the soldier named Cherry was also a woman disguised as a man, and it goes without saying that the other small soldier was also a girl. They called Min Xiu "Miss", and should be her maid. Zhou Xuanzhang's mind was filled with doubts - what was a young lady from a wealthy family doing following Liu Buxian to school for no reason?
"Spoilsport!" Min Xiu scolded: "Don't wash anymore, serve me instead."
"Yes, miss," said Cherry, walking over to the wooden bucket and fetching clothes for Min: "Miss must hurry up, they will soon search here."
Zhou Xuan Zhang became more and more desperate.
"Ugh, that Zhou Xuanzhang is not a good person, I've seen him before. Yesterday he didn't even kneel down when he saw Liu Guandai, and today he's caused me to not even finish washing up properly. I knew it from the start, this bad kid would eventually cause trouble. Now look, he must have broken the school rules again and is too afraid to take responsibility, hiding away like a turtle with its head in its shell! Hmph! Let's see where he can hide, let the school catch him and chop off his head!"
"Miss, these students are really pitiful. They have to suffer a lot every day and can't go home for four seasons in a year. They can't see their parents and the school rules are strict, not allowing this or that. Miss, I couldn't bear it even if I stayed here for one day, but they stay for three years. I really don't know how they get by. Zhou Xuanzhang just made a small mistake, scolding him would be enough, why must he be beheaded?"
Cherry's words moved Zhou Xuan Zhang greatly, this cherry heart is good!
"If other students made mistakes, of course, they wouldn't be beheaded. If the school wanted to behead them, I would plead for mercy on their behalf," Min Xiu said: "Zhou Xuan Zhang is a bad kid and must be beheaded. Even if the school doesn't behead him, I will ask the principal to behead him!"
Zhou Xuanzhang was furious, this meticulous and kind-hearted person is really bad!
"Miss, what did he do to offend you?"
"He's bullying me! Forcing me to kneel down for Liu Guan!" Min Xiu gritted her teeth and said, "He himself doesn't kneel down, but he wants to force Miss to kneel down. Cherry, do you think he's bullying me?"
"Miss, you're wearing a numbered uniform, he must have taken you for a small soldier of the Beiyang Fleet. A small soldier should naturally kneel down to salute a superior officer. If he knew you were a princess, he wouldn't dare behave like this."
Zhou Xuanzhang was shocked, this delicate embroidery was actually done by a "Princess"!
Zhou Xuanzhang suddenly remembered that last night by the pond, Minxiu not only didn't kneel down to Liu Buxian, but also didn't take Liu Buxian seriously in his words and actions. But Liu Buxian was a high-ranking general of the Beiyang government with a first-class hat, serving as the captain of the Dingyuan warship and concurrently as the commander-in-chief, equivalent to being a provincial military governor! Minxiu's behavior must have been due to his special identity!
Zhou Xuanzhang was drenched in cold sweat, having offended the princess. If the emperor didn't behead him, the princess would! Not to mention, he had also secretly watched her bathe!
