Chapter 206: Chapter 206
Looking at Yan Huan Yu’s somewhat conflicted appearance, what does the young protagonist know at this age?
Even in their era, it’s just the age of a junior high school student.
It’s precisely the sensitive period of adolescence, very sensitive to others’ likes and dislikes.
This flower-like age shouldn’t be ruined by a few words from Tang Zan.
"You don’t need to overthink. Lin Zhi has this kind of personality; he’s to everyone."
Yan Huan Yu saw Pei Shu’er’s serene expression and nodded, but there was a shadow across his brows.
He then remembered that when he collaborated with Pei Shu’er to fight the Dazi, he had seen her Chastity Sand.
That is to say, Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan are not as the world imagines.
When they arrived at Commander Qian’s place, Commander Qian was sarcastic upon seeing Pei Shu’er.
"Indeed, a character, arriving this slow."
Pei Shu’er went straight to the point: "May I ask what the Commander summoned me for?"
Commander Qian pointed to the brick in front of him.
"How is this green brick fired?"
After saying this, Commander Qian stared intently at Pei Shu’er.
Pei Shu’er, without reservation, told him the method for firing green bricks.
Commander Qian was somewhat doubtful. Pei Shu’er told him so quickly. Is there a deceit?
But to know whether Pei Shu’er was truthful, only practice could tell.
"Someone, fire a kiln of green bricks according to her method. If there’s deceit, hmph, don’t blame me for being impolite."
When a kiln of green bricks was done, seeing the high-quality bricks, Commander Qian was stunned.
The bricks, both in color and hardness, were incomparable to red bricks.
What Pei Shu’er said was actually true?
It seems she has finally come around.
Satisfied, he threatened Pei Shu’er.
"Don’t say what shouldn’t be said recklessly."
Pei Shu’er smiled, "Don’t worry, Commander, isn’t this method something you thought of yourself?"
Commander Qian raised an eyebrow, rare to see Pei Shu’er so compliant, seems she understood after imprisonment.
She should have been imprisoned sooner.
"Someone, take Pei Shu’er back to her cell for me."
Pei Shu’er didn’t resist, and behind her, the people from Yuhua Valley looked at her mockingly.
See, this fool, no matter how smart, ends up being used by others, right?
As for Boss Xiong, he was also hesitating, is this someone he should cooperate with?
She seemed like a different person than the once domineering Pei Shu’er.
He felt a bit disappointed.
Should he continue collaborating with her?
The people from Yuhua Valley had mixed thoughts for a while.
On the way back, Yan Huan Yu defended Pei Shu’er as if angrier than Pei Shu’er herself.
He looked like a righteous hero.
"Sister, this Commander Qian is too much. Should I give him a lesson for you?"
Pei Shu’er was stunned; in the military camp, this brother took great care of her.
If not for him, she might have suffered more.
Her smile became more sincere.
"Thank you, but you must believe, it’s not that there’s no retribution; the time hasn’t come yet."
Yan Huan Yu couldn’t say much more, after escorting Pei Shu’er to the cell, he warned the prison guard.
"This is my sister; if you hurt her, don’t blame me for being impolite."
The prison guard had a stiff expression; what’s been happening lately, all these big figures are coming to protect this woman?
Pei Shu’er felt warm inside; as expected of the protagonist, bursting with a sense of justice, truly a fine young man.
She bid farewell to Yan Huan Yu.
"Rest assured, no one can bully me."
In subsequent times, Commander Qian would ask Pei Shu’er how to build it, how to make the wall straighter.
Pei Shu’er explained everything. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel-fire.ɴet
The resulting city wall was very standard, both straight and sturdy.
Commander Qian was satisfied, naturally credited it to himself externally.
At the same time, Commander Qian maintained a doubtful attitude towards Pei Shu’er, always testing before implementation.
But every time, what Pei Shu’er said was true.
General Zhao, passing by, also took a look and nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, Commander Qian, this wall is built well."
Commander Qian smiled, "Thank you, General, for this opportunity to display my talents. I won’t disappoint you."
Clearly, he obtained all kinds of knowledge from Pei Shu’er, yet he absolutely didn’t mention her.
Claiming all of Pei Shu’er’s credit.
Three days later, it rained here, and suddenly the newly built city wall collapsed with a loud crash, waking everyone in the camp.
The convicts, still constructing, were already tired, their faces pale.
They somewhat envied those jailed in the Desolate Mountain, who didn’t have to build.
These people could only sleep for an hour or two each day before having to get up and work again, truly exhausting.
General Zhao and Commander Qian hurriedly ran out to see, then watched the wall collapse.
It even crushed several of Commander Qian’s trusted soldiers to death.
General Zhao’s face turned black as soot, angrily looking at Commander Qian.
He pointed towards the collapsed structure.
"This is your supervision."
Commander Qian’s face was ghastly pale, and he quickly defended.
"General, this is just an accident, caused by the rain."
Tang Zan spoke softly beside him.
"This Gulan Military Camp has stood here for countless years and never collapsed due to rain."
Then he sneered mockingly.
"I think if you don’t have the skill, don’t take on the task."
Commander Qian looked extremely displeased, about to speak, Tang Zan continued: "When Pei Shu’er built the Desolate Mountain City Wall, such an incident never occurred."
These words brought General Zhao’s mind back to Pei Shu’er, the one who drew the designs. He searched among the convicts, but couldn’t find Pei Shu’er.
He was displeased: "Where’s Pei Shu’er?"
Yan Huan Yu replied: "General, Mrs. Pei and those from Desolate Mountain are imprisoned now."
His words changed the atmosphere to something very peculiar, and everyone was too afraid to breathe loudly, while General Zhao’s expression was horrible.
He pointed his finger at Commander Qian, trembling with anger.
"Is this how intolerant you are?"
Commander Qian was about to defend himself when General Zhao furiously spoke.
"Someone, strip Commander Qian of his supervision duties, reduce his salary by half."
Commander Qian’s face turned unsightly.
It must be Pei Shu’er who set him up, leading to this situation.
Commander Qian knew he couldn’t keep silent, or this blame would definitely be pinned on him.
"General, every architecture plan was asked from Pei Shu’er, so she must have deliberately led me to make this mistake."
Tang Zan’s voice was cool, carrying a chill.
"Commander Qian, you said before that the construction was done alone by you. Now you say Pei guided you, then I ask you, how could Mrs. Pei lead you while she’s locked up in prison?"
His words stung, Commander Qian gritted his teeth. "I had her come to the site."
Tang Zan saluted General Zhao.
"General, I see someone so irresponsible and incompetent that they can’t even compare to a woman."
"I think it would be better to let Pei Shu’er supervise, at least she knows way more than Commander Qian, and those from Desolate Mountain listen to her."
