352: The Stranger (IV)

"Illiterate?"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

"What exactly is going on?" Zhao Ben also just realized that Wu Laocu was indeed illiterate before!

Although he didn't know if the Outlanders could truly "possess" and control Wu Laocu's body, Wu Laocu's act of "reading a book" was still somewhat unusual!

"I... I can read now!" Wu Laocu said, feeling a bit guilty.

"What book are you looking at? Bring it out!" Zhao Ben said in a deep voice, his stare making Wu Laocu feel a bit timid.

Zhao Ben didn't give him a chance to refuse. This matter had to be clarified, otherwise any rumors among his subordinates would affect morale.

This matter had to be resolved now, or else once it left this Great Tent, the story would spread in who knows what way!

He knew all too well the character of the Soldiers in the Military Camp!

During leisure time, under the tense Military Camp life, any small matter would arouse their intense interest, and in the end, the story would spread in who knows what way!

"Alright! Shen Fu, just you wait!" Wu Laocu gritted his teeth.

But Shen Fu just laughed uncontrollably, completely unmoved.

"Bring it out!" Zhao Ben said sharply.

"Yes." Finally, under Zhao Ben's pressure, Wu Laocu reluctantly pulled a book from his 懷.

"Give it to me!" Zhao Ben yanked hard, finally snatching the book from the unwilling Wu Laocu.

But at the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief. Since Wu Laocu dared to bring it out, it largely proved that Wu Laocu was innocent!

This made his uneasy heart feel a little better.

"General, be gentle." Wu Laocu felt a bit distressed, worried the book might be damaged.

"Get out of here!" Zhao Ben cursed, then respectfully presented the book to Prince Fusu and General Meng Tian.

Fusu took it and looked, then couldn't help but exclaim with some emotion: "It's actually 'Wei Liao Zi' by Wei Liao, our Great Qin's former State Commandant. Colonel Wu has truly put his heart into it."

"Yes." Wu Laocu nodded woodenly.

"'Wei Liao Zi'?

Wu Laocu is actually reading 'Wei Liao Zi'?

This is truly a sign of the sun rising from the west!"

All the Generals who knew Wu Laocu were somewhat surprised, and even Shen Fu looked at Wu Laocu with disbelief.

"Hmm?" Fusu casually flipped through it, then smiled somewhat forcedly: "A misunderstanding. You can take this book back."

"Yes!" Zhao Ben stepped forward to take it, then casually said to Wu Laocu: "I didn't realize you were reading 'Wei Liao Zi'. Lend it to me for two days first."

"This..." Wu Laocu seemed to want to say something but hesitated, but under Zhao Ben's pressure, he still didn't dare to speak.

Then Zhao Ben casually flipped through it, and immediately his hands trembled.

"Holy crap!" Shen Fu, behind Zhao Ben, suddenly exclaimed!

Everyone's gaze once again focused on Shen Fu!

"This isn't 'Wei Liao Zi' at all, it's an erotic painting!" Shen Fu exclaimed in surprise.

As the saying goes, after three years in the army, even a sow looks like Diao Chan. Upon hearing of such a treasure, the Generals all went crazy with red eyes, pouncing towards Zhao Ben. Seeing this, Zhao Ben directly threw the book backward, then regained his calm demeanor.

"Bang!

Thump!

Don't snatch!"

The book landed directly above a Gentleman of the Household under Yang Wengzi. Everyone suddenly pounced on him!

The people around him scattered in a hurry, but that Gentleman of the Household was miserable, directly sat upon by others!

"Ah!"

"Silence! Stop! Do not be disorderly!" Luo Xi shouted.

But the Generals were deaf to his words; telling them to mind their manners was like playing a lute to a cow.

In the end, it was Wang Da Tou, whose injuries had not yet fully healed, who successfully repelled all his opponents, climbed to the top, and retrieved the book, finally ending this farce!

"Not a single one of them can fight."

Wang Da Tou left a disdainful look, then leisurely returned to his original spot. He flipped two pages, then exclaimed in surprise, and directly tore off two more pages, reaching past She Jian to hand them to Lin Yue.

"Brother Lin, quick, look, it's super realistic!" Wang Da Tou praised endlessly.

Lin Yue was a bit surprised, took it and glanced at it. An erotic painting, rendered in a modern art style, leaped onto the paper. As Wang Da Tou said, it emphasized realism, far superior to some of the more impressionistic ancient paintings. Although limited by materials, it was far from as realistic as later generations, but in this era, it was already far superior to other erotic paintings!

It seemed that modern culture was unknowingly and quietly impacting the culture of Great Qin.

From happy fatty water to these disguised erotic paintings, Lin Yue couldn't imagine what changes these players would bring to Great Qin in a few more years.

But at this moment, Lin Yue was in no mood to look at such things. He distractedly glanced at them twice and then passed them on, still feeling a bit nervous.

He didn't know if General Meng Tian was referring to him, but most of the high-ranking Generals present were "veterans" like Shen Fu and Wu Laocu, who had served in the Great Wall Legion before the Outlanders arrived!

Only he was a newcomer to the Great Wall Legion, and what's more, he had truly disappeared for three days. From every perspective, his suspicion was the greatest!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt General Meng Tian was referring to him. His heart grew increasingly tense, until General Meng Tian's voice sounded again, and his heart sank into an abyss!

"No one admits it? The Outlander disappeared for three days a while ago. Such a long time, it's impossible to hide it, no matter how hard you try." General Meng Tian said in a deep voice.

The Generals were also silent at this moment. The Great Tent suddenly fell into a deathly silence!

"Then don't blame me for disregarding our camaraderie and not leaving you even a shred of dignity!" General Meng Tian said in a deep voice, clearly on the verge of anger.

"I..."

Lin Yue slowly stood up.
