Time Travel: The Foolish Lady is Forced to Become a Female General
Chapter 19 Let us protect the young lady?
In her previous life, she had experienced such scenes countless times, sometimes with a gun in her hand, sometimes with a saber, but every time she would be the only person standing among a pile of corpses. This is also the origin of her nickname "Bloodthirsty Rose".
"Yan'er?" Mu Lie looked at Xia Qin, who was covered in blood, with a look of shock and unfamiliarity, but more of heartache and worry. He quickly walked to Xia Qin's side and asked, "Are you okay?"
Mu Jinyu also looked at her sister with concern.
Xia Qin shook her head and whispered, "Dad, brother, I'm fine. I'm fine."
At this time, Xiaoyu, who had been hiding in the distance, also ran over and said with his head down: "Master Mu, Brother Mu, the young lady ran out when she heard the noise, and I didn't stop her."
After checking and confirming that Xia Qin was not injured, Mu Lie breathed a sigh of relief: "Forget it, Yan'er is not injured. This time it's all thanks to her."
Mu Jinyu looked at Huo Jinying and the other three, knowing that they had risked their lives to come to help, and solemnly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your help, and forgive me for what happened before!"
Seeing Mu Jinyu say this, Huo Jinying scratched his head and grinned, "We took the wrong path before. We have fought so many battles with General Mu and Army Officer Mu, but we didn't expect that we can fight the enemy together again. It's worth it!"
"Old Meng, take your men to put out the fire and clean up the bodies. Tell the county magistrate tomorrow morning." Mu Lie looked at the bodies scattered on the ground and the gatehouse that was about to be burned, and instructed Meng De, then looked at the four people who came to help, "Your name is Huo Jinying, right? It's late at night, and I guess you have nowhere to go. Rest in the mansion tonight."
"General Xie Mu!"
Mu Lie looked at the pirate leader and asked curiously, "Are you from Daxia or Japan?"
"Humph! Is there any difference? You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you!"
Mu Lie shook his head, turned around and led everyone back to the Mu family. Mu Jinyu raised his knife and the sound of heads rolling could be heard on the ground.
Xiaoyu couldn't help but mutter beside Xia Qin: "Sister, Brother Mu really likes to chop off people's heads. It's creepy."
"Yu'er, Yan'er, is everyone okay?" After returning to the Mu Mansion, Mu Lie asked tiredly while sitting on a chair.
"Two of the guards at home were slightly injured, and two of the four deserters were also slightly injured, but none of them were serious." Mu Jinyu replied.
"It's also thanks to them and Yan'er for harassing us outside, otherwise my old bones would probably be injured." Mu Lie was very surprised and appreciative of Xia Qin's performance this time.
"Yan'er, are you recovered?" Mu Lie asked since there were no outsiders around.
"Dad, my daughter is almost well now, but I still can't remember some of her memories."
Xia Qin previously felt that she was staying in the mansion because she was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would continue to harm her and bring her troubles. But after today's battle, it would be inappropriate for her to continue playing dumb in front of her father and brother.
"That's good! That's good!" Mu Lie's eyes were a little red. Although he had already noticed that Xia Qin was getting better, Mu Lie knew that she must have her own ideas.
This time Yan'er disappeared for a month, and when she came back she seemed like a different person. Although I can't tell what happened, no matter what, as long as my daughter is healthy, it's all good.
"Father, you've been busy for half the night. You should take a rest." Mu Jinyu was also very happy that his sister had recovered. It was late at night and there were still things to deal with tomorrow.
"Well, Yu'er, Yan'er, you should also take a rest."
On the next morning, not only the county magistrate of the county where the Mu family lived, but also the prefect of Pengzhou City rushed to the scene after hearing the news.
Although Mu Lie had lost his military power, he was still a General of Cavalry and a second-rank official in the imperial court, and Mu Jinyu was also a fifth-rank military officer. If something happened in their territory, they might lose their heads.
When they hurried over, they saw the thirty bodies of the Japanese pirates that had been buried. They were panicked, but when they saw that Mu Lie and Mu Jinyu were safe and sound, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as they were about to exchange pleasantries, Mu Lie said directly, "These Japanese pirates attacked my Mu family last night and I executed them on the spot. You guys can take care of them."
The governor of Pengzhou City said immediately: "This group of Japanese pirates have been roaming around for a long time, but they are elusive and have no fixed place to stay. We have been chasing them for half a year and have caught nothing. Thank you, General Mu, for eliminating this great threat for the people of the city!"
Mu Lie was too lazy to listen to these flattering words, and waved his hand gently and said: "Okay, you guys take care of the rest. I was tired last night and need to rest for a while."
"Yes, General Mu, I will do it right away!"
After the prefect of Pengzhou City and the magistrate of Wuyuan County left, Mu Lie called Huo Jinying and four others over.
"Tell me, I saw last night that you are not the cowards who are afraid of death. Why do you want to be a deserter?"
When Huo Jinying heard this question, the muscles on his face trembled. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "General Mu, we are not deserters, we are abandoned soldiers!"
Hearing this, Mu Lie's face changed and he asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
"When General Qin Haoran took over the command of the Western Army from the old general, Lieutenant Cheng Jinzhong was leading our 5,000 Fire Camp soldiers to guard Xishan City. As soon as General Qin Haoran arrived, Yuelan's 150,000 troops were divided into three groups, each with 50,000 soldiers to attack Xishan City where we were, Yangguan City where General Qin Haoran and his main force were, and Yinshan City where General Li Wei was."
Mu Lie and Mu Jinyu didn't say anything, but listened quietly. Although they were far away from the battlefield, their old subordinates were on the Western Front, and they also wanted to find out what had happened.
"There are only 5,000 Fire Camp members in Xishan City, and only 8,000 Mountain Camp members in Yinshan City. Qin Haoran has 80,000 main forces, but he chose to stay indoors and not fight or rescue the 50,000 Yuelan Army. Yinshan City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it can still hold on. Xishan City has no defenses at all, but Qin Haoran watched Xishan City being slowly swallowed up by 50,000 enemy troops without any reaction."
"When the city was breached, Captain Cheng led the remaining less than 500 soldiers to fight desperately to break out. In the end, there were probably no more than 100 people who escaped, and they all got separated during the escape. The Yuelan army was still there, and we had nowhere to go. In addition, we were angry, so the four of us did not return to the court to report. We wanted to find a peaceful place to live in anonymity, so we came to Pengzhou City. Unexpectedly, we met General Mu on the street. General Mu knows everything that happened next."
Mu Lie asked in confusion: "Didn't Qin Haoran say in his memorial to Your Majesty that Yuelan Kingdom has closed its doors and will no longer attack our Great Xia Kingdom?"
Huo Jinying sneered and said, "The Yuelan Kingdom has taken over Xishan City and Yinshan City, eliminating the threat of Daxia to their Tianchi City. Naturally, they will not attack the heavily guarded Yangguan City in the short term."
Mu Lie understood the reason, sighed heavily, looked at Mu Jinyu and asked, "Yu'er, you know all this, right?"
"Father, the guards have indeed told me all this, but you told me not to communicate too much with the soldiers on the front line, and I don't want to cause you more trouble, so I didn't say anything."
"Qin Haoran is not a mediocre person. He probably has ulterior motives for doing this." Mu Lie rubbed his temples, thinking of his current situation, and said softly, "Forget it, we can't do anything about these things. You four have nowhere to go. If you are willing, you can stay in the Mu Mansion in the future."
Huo Jinying and his companions did not hesitate and immediately said, "Thank you, General Mu!"
Mu Lie looked at them and said, "There is no other job in the Mu Mansion. You will be responsible for protecting Yan'er's safety from now on."
Huo Jinying and the others looked at each other, remembering Xia Qin's murderous look last night, and asked weakly, "Will the four of us protect Miss Mu's safety?"
"What's wrong? Is there any difficulty?" Mu Lie asked with a frown.
"I obey my orders!"
"Okay, go down, I think we can have some peace these days.
After this incident, the rest of the days were indeed much calmer, and the prefect of Pengzhou City also learned his lesson and arranged some soldiers to guard the vicinity of Mu's house.
After Huo Jinying and his friends became familiar with Xiaoyu, they shamelessly bought delicious food to "bribe" Xiaoyu. Today it was cakes, tomorrow it was candied haws, and the day after tomorrow it was roasted chicken legs. They also begged Xiaoyu to learn some military boxing, grappling and fighting techniques with Xia Qin.
Xiaoyu was satisfied with the food every day. Xia Qin, considering Huo Jinying's loyalty and his kindness in saving her, taught them Sanda and fighting techniques.
In this way, Xia Qin and his family rested comfortably in Pengzhou City. His health was completely restored and his martial arts skills improved a lot.
However, the world cannot always be so peaceful. After three months of such harmonious days, two major events occurred in the Great Xia Kingdom.
