My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!

Chapter 551 - 276: Yun Zheng Really Wants to Slap These Two Brothers

[Second brother, are we there yet?]

The faint sounds of conversation woke Yun Wanqing. It was pitch black inside the fox fur, and she wrinkled her nose to sniff the air. She extended a small hand to gently rub her eyes, feeling lazily content.

"Yes."

Yun Wanye responded softly, using his Inner Strength to send words through to her.

"We’re now outside the military camp. The guarding soldiers have reported to Father. We’ll just wait a bit longer, and we can see Father."

"Is Little Sister hungry? Want some milk?"

Since she fell asleep in the afternoon, she hadn’t woken up, nor had she had any milk. By counting the time, it had been quite a while.

Yun Wanye was really worried that she might be starving.

[No rush, Second Brother; we can talk after seeing Father.]

She’d been sleeping all this time, so she didn’t feel hungry.

After responding to Yun Wanye, Yun Wanqing reached out to lift a corner of the fox fur. Her little head poked out, and she shivered instantly.

[Oh my, it’s so cold!]

[My head’s frozen awake; how can it be so chilly outside?]

[Big Brother and Second Brother, it’s really tough for you both.]

The cold allowed Yun Wanqing to deeply appreciate the harshness of a winter night, and she couldn’t help but admire her big brother and second brother, along with the many soldiers standing properly at attention before her.

These soldiers have to stand here all night. The cotton clothes inside their armor aren’t made of the finest cotton but of old cotton used countless times, greatly reducing their ability to ward off the cold.

Yet, they stood watch through the night without a word of complaint—it was truly admirable.

At that moment, a large hand pressed onto her forehead, forcibly pushing her small head back into the fox fur, sealing it seamlessly again.

"Yes, it’s cold outside. Little Sister should stay inside to avoid catching a chill."

[...]

[Second Brother, let me take a look. I haven’t seen the ancient version of a military camp yet. We’re already here, let me have a peek.]

[Besides, I only have my head out; I won’t catch a cold.]

[Please, Second Brother, just a glance...]

Yun Wanye: "..."

"Little Sister could use spiritual power to see."

[Spiritual power can see, but it doesn’t feel the same as seeing with my eyes. I want to use my eyes.]

Yun Wanye: "..."

"Little Sister isn’t afraid of the cold???"

[Not afraid, not afraid; I just didn’t anticipate it would be so cold. I’m not actually afraid of the cold, really.]

"Fine then."

Unable to resist her playful pleading, Yun Wanye reluctantly agreed.

[Second Brother is the best, love you, Second Brother.]

After giving a perfunctory compliment, Yun Wanqing opened the fox fur again, poking her head out.

There wasn’t anything to see outside; they were still at the sentry post on the outskirts of the camp, two miles from the real military camp.

A simple fence surrounded dozens of people standing guard neatly outside.

All around was desolate; apart from large patches of malnourished bushes, there weren’t even many trees to be seen, somewhat resembling the desert sites Yun Wanqing had seen online in her previous life.

How could this place grow crops?

Too barren, really too barren, even the air was full of the taste of dust.

Yun Wanqing could instantly understand why Su Qianxue decided to give up the mission so resolutely after being transported here.

Such a place was truly unfit for living.

And yet, this place was home to large troops and countless border residents.

These people struggle daily in such a harsh environment, but they stand tall to build a strong line of defense for the nation.

Deep inside the military camp.

A large tent was rooted in the center.

Inside it hung a striking red command flag. Beneath it was a formidable tiger skin chair, and in front of the chair burned a blazing fire pit.

This was the Commander’s Tent.

The hour was late, yet Yun Zheng hadn’t gone to sleep. He was discussing the situation of the two armies around a sand table with several of his subordinates.

Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside the tent.

"Report..."

The voice successfully interrupted all discussions. Everyone immediately closed their mouths and turned towards the tent’s entrance.

Yun Zheng sent a personal aide to inquire, and soon the aide returned.

"Who is it and what do they want to report?"

"Reporting to the lord, the messenger is a soldier on duty from the southeastern sentry post, saying that the two sons, under orders from the mother, have come to visit the lord, and are currently waiting outside the sentry post."

What?

Yun Wanchen and Yun Wanye are here?

Yun Zheng was greatly surprised and then looked at the generals inside the tent.

"I’m sure you all heard. I need to go meet them now; we’ll leave it here for tonight. Everyone should head back and rest. We’ll discuss further tomorrow."

After saying this, before the generals could react, he decisively lifted his legs and hurriedly headed towards the tent entrance, soon vanishing from everyone’s view, leaving the generals exchanging bewildered glances.
