Time Travel: The Foolish Lady is Forced to Become a Female General

With the addition of Hong Shengxiang, the atmosphere was no longer so awkward.

Cen Hua was indeed interested in martial arts and had asked Wang Rulong for advice before, but Wang Rulong was a little bit out of his league.

She watched Hong Shengxiang's demonstration carefully and for a moment forgot the purpose of her coming here.

After Hong Shengxiang finished his awkward demonstration, Cen Hua couldn't help but praise him, "Senior Hong is really good at fighting! If every soldier fighting against the Japanese had this kind of skills, we could have conquered the Japanese island!"

In this way, Cen Hua came to the manor early every day for three consecutive days to watch Hong Shengxiang demonstrate his sword skills.

Cen Hua was becoming more and more fascinated: "Senior Hong, thank you for your demonstration these days. I will practice hard when I go back!"

"Well, sister," Hong Shengxiang finally couldn't help it, "Shaoqing is 25, and I am 31, you can just call me Brother Hong."

Hong Shengxiang's words made Lu Shaoqing unable to hold back his laughter, and he laughed so hard that his wounds hurt.

"Well, sister," Hong Shengxiang saw Lu Shaoqing's evil smile, but he didn't indulge him, and deliberately said, "Actually, the main reason you came here is to see Shaoqing, right? It just so happens that I have something to do outside, so you two can chat here slowly."

Having said that, Hong Shengxiang left without looking back, leaving Lu Shaoqing to face Cen Hua alone.

The atmosphere suddenly became cold and both of them fell silent.

It was Lu Shaoqing who broke the awkward situation. He smiled helplessly and said, "Captain Cen, I am very curious about something. Do you know what I look like?"

Cen Hua looked at the messy beard on Lu Shaoqing's face that had not been shaved for who knows how long, and shook her head honestly.

"Well, then why do you think I'm good?" Lu Shaoqing asked back in a serious tone.

Cen Hua had indeed been immersed in her swordsmanship these past few days, and had not originally thought much about matters between men and women. However, when she heard Lu Shaoqing's secret rejection again, she inexplicably became stubborn.

She deliberately said angrily: "I just think that Master Lu's full beard looks manly, plus his elegant swordsmanship, I fell in love with Master Lu that day. Goodbye! I'll come again tomorrow!"

Lu Shaoqing was alone, disheveled in the wind. He stroked his beard which he had grown for more than ten years and could not help but smile bitterly.

In Hailing County, Xiaqin's new village is about to be completed, with 500 simple civil engineering houses neatly arranged.

More than 300 workers are building various public facilities under the leadership of Lu Cheng.

Although Xia Qin was not proficient in construction, he knew a thing or two about road systems, drainage systems, and irrigation systems. Since he was building a new village, he naturally wanted to strive for perfection.

In addition, at the northernmost part of the village, a grand mansion is about to be completed.

Looking at the initial shape of his "experimental field" and thinking that Mo Ye would be back soon, Xia Qin was in a good mood and brought his father, brother and Xiaoyu to observe.

My father and brother both came from military backgrounds, so naturally they didn’t quite understand it, but when they saw the tidy new village and its complete facilities, they were full of praise.

"Dad, brother, I have thought of a way to deal with the Japanese ninjas these days," Xia Qin has not been idle these days, "Let's go back and study it, and we can take action when Mo Ye comes back."

"The training has shown initial results. We can give it a try. Let's go back to the secret room in the manor." With that, Mu Jinyu, Mu Lie and Xia Qin walked towards the manor along the newly built road.

"Yan'er, this road is really solid." Mu Lie was surprised when he stepped on it.

“Dig shallow trenches in the ground, pour a mixture of gravel, crushed stone and clay with water over them, and let them dry.”

Mu Jinyu smiled and praised: "Xiao Yan, you really seem to have learned a hundred arts. When we take back the entire Jinghai City, you will definitely be a good governor!"

"Of course! After all, I have such an excellent father and brother." Xia Qin smiled mischievously.

As soon as they returned to the manor, they saw a man in white standing alone in the manor with a feather fan in his hand, looking at them from afar.

The manor is heavily guarded, and there are people arranged by Mo Ye guarding it all around. How could a stranger come in?

Huo Jinying asked cautiously: "This gentleman..."

The man looked at everyone. Xia Qin thought he looked familiar. After walking closer and smelling the alcohol on him, she asked in a daze, "Brother Lu? You..."

Compared to Xia Qin, Mu Lie's expression was more shocked and complicated. He looked at Lu Shaoqing in disbelief.

Although they had met several times, Lu Shaoqing had a beard before, and this was the first time Mu Lie saw his true appearance.

"Your surname is Lu?"

Lu Shaoqing looked apologetic, looked around to see that there were no outsiders, and bowed, "Uncle Mu, it's me, Shaoqing. I was disrespectful for hiding my identity before."

"You have been with Yun Chen all the time?" Mu Lie was not very excited, but obviously very surprised.

"I guess so. It was just a coincidence that I met him since he left home. We have indeed been together ever since." Lu Shaoqing said these words with a sad tone and a wry smile on his face.

"Ah..." Mu Lie looked at Lu Shaoqing, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and seemed to be lost in the memories of the past. However, he did not say much to this junior, and only said lightly, "Drinking is harmful to the body."

"Junior, remember this."

Xia Qin looked at her father and Lu Shaoqing with a bewildered look on her face.

Her memory had been restored a long time ago, so why didn't she remember this Lu Shaoqing? She had never heard of this name either.

"Uncle, you guys go and do your work. I'm waiting for someone here." Lu Shaoqing was very respectful to Mu Lie.

Mu Lie nodded and left. Mu Jinyu also nodded to Lu Shaoqing.

Xia Qin could see that her brother and Lu Shaoqing should know each other, but they were not very familiar with each other.

Moreover, when his father saw him, it was obviously different from when he saw Mo Ye and Chu He. It was so strange.

Half an hour later, several people came out of the secret room and Mu Lie went back to rest.

After Xia Qin asked Huo Jinying and the others to go to the new village, she immediately approached Mu Jinyu and asked, "Brother, who is that Lu Shaoqing, Brother Lu? How does Dad know him?"

"The last Imperial Censor, one of the Three Dukes, and the eldest son of Lu Banya. I calculated that he should be five or six years older than you."

"Why don't I have any impression of him? Why are Brother Yunchen so familiar with him?"

Mu Jinyu sighed softly, "I'm not that familiar with him. His father was executed a few years ago, and the Lu family was also confiscated."

"Searching his property? He survived?" Xia Qin didn't know if she was not smart enough or if there was something wrong with Lu Shaoqing. "Was it Brother Yunchen who saved him? Moreover, even if he survived, he didn't even change his name?"

Although the beard could hide his appearance, he didn't even bother to conceal his name, which was really incomprehensible.

Lu Shaoqing is not a fool, and Mo Ye is even less so. Why?

Mu Jinyu shrugged. He really didn't know. "In fact, military generals don't usually interact much with children from civil official families. You can ask Yun Chen about this later. But since he is not wanted with a reward, it is natural that the court believes that Lu Shaoqing of the Lu family is dead."

At the manor, Cen Hua arrived on time as usual, but the only one waiting for him today was Lu Shaoqing.

"Well, where is Brother Hong?" Cen Hua only saw Lu Shaoqing's figure and asked curiously.

Lu Shaoqing turned around and replied softly, "Brother Hong went out for something today."

When Cen Hua saw Lu Shaoqing's expression, she seemed to be frozen, her eyes fixed on Lu Shaoqing's face and unable to move away.
