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

After the great victory outside Mobei City, the Mobei Army led by Dongfang Yi still held on in the city, preparing to use it as a base to attack Shuofang City in the northwest.

On the other side, Mu Lie led the Yancheng Army to station in Huangshi Town, an abandoned town fifty miles east of Mobei City. The geographical location of this town is very critical. It forms a horn with Mobei City, echoing each other, like a sharp sword across the earth.

This small town called Huangshi is only eighty miles away from Yunzhong City which was occupied by the Huns. Yan Mulie's decision to station here was obviously a well-considered one.

In this way, no matter which general eventually takes over the important task of commanding the Yancheng Army, he will be able to carry out the next military operation more conveniently.

Mu Lie, his daughter and his two daughters as well as many generals of the Yancheng Army would gather in the commander's tent every day to discuss subsequent military plans.

Of course, they were not immersed in tense war discussions all day long. In their spare time, they would also chat about some light topics to relieve their tense nerves.

"Brother Jinyu, who do you think is the reinforcement general sent by the capital this time?" After a great battle and having been together for such a long time, Shi Qing and other generals of the Yancheng army had become very familiar with Mu Lie and the other two.

After this great victory, the emperor considered the strength of the enemy coalition and arranged for a general to lead 20,000 new soldiers to come to support.

Mu Jinyu thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I really don't know. Does Brother Shi have any news?"

Shi Qing chuckled and said mysteriously, "She is Qin Ruoran, the daughter of the Chief Justice Qin Huimu and the niece of the Grand Marshal Qin Huiqi!"

"Qin Ruoran?" Mu Jinyu scratched his head. He knew Qin Huimu. He had brought his good-for-nothing son to propose to Xia Qin before. But when did his daughter join the army?

Mu Lie and Xia Qin were also surprised. A female general? Even if they didn't like gossip, they had never heard of such a special thing.

Seeing the father and daughter all looked confused, Shi Qing became interested: "Maybe you didn't pay attention to the court in the past few months. Qin Ruoran joined the army a few months ago, and followed her cousin General Xu Haoran to fight on the western front. Although she hasn't fought with Yuelan Kingdom recently, she led her troops to eliminate many bandits alone. I heard that she is a great beauty and her martial arts are also excellent!"

Mu Jinyu suddenly realized that if it happened a few months ago, it was normal for the three of them in their hometown of Pengzhou City not to know about it.

Shi Qing said this, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "But this time she came here, I'm afraid she came to be a military supervisor."

Mu Lie looked at Shi Qing's excited expression and couldn't help but asked with a smile: "General Shi, why do you say that?"

The young lieutenant of the Yancheng Army said bluntly: "Isn't it obvious, old general? You have relieved the siege of General Dongfang this time and defeated the coalition forces of the Xiongnu, Yuelan, and Goryeo. Why are you only rewarded but not promoted? If you are promoted again, you will only be promoted to the rank of general. Will you be superior to the Xu family in the army?"

Shi Qing patted his head gently: "Chu He, even if it's true, you can't tell it, especially to Qin Jianjun. Bah, after Miss Qin comes, you have to watch your mouth!"

Xia Qin couldn't help laughing when looking at Shi Qing. She thought, you are the one who should watch your mouth the most. It's unbelievable!

After Shi Qing told Chu He to shut up, he analyzed the situation seriously: "Look, old general, we now have you, Brother Jinyu, and General Dongfang as our generals on the northern front. Who can't lead a large army? If we just want to send in new soldiers, why do we need to transfer Miss Qin back from the western front?"

Although Shi Qing was a big mouth, what he said did make sense. Mu Lie sighed and said, "Over the years, I have already become indifferent to these things. As long as we can protect the stability of the northern border, it doesn't matter who does what."

After hearing this, Shi Qing also sighed: "I hope so."

At this point, he suddenly scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and said to Xia Qin: "By the way, I heard from my generals a few days ago that Brother Jinfeng is very skilled in martial arts. He defeated the commander of Yuelan Country and saved General Dongfang alone. The martial arts in this world are also interesting. I wonder if you can give me some pointers."

Xia Qin was stunned, and immediately agreed: "My personal bodyguard, Brother Huo, is very skilled in martial arts. I will ask him to practice martial arts with General Shi a few more times later."

Seeing Xia Qin being so straightforward, Shi Qing said excitedly, "Thank you, Brother Jinfeng!"

At this point, Xia Qin asked curiously, "I heard from General Dongfang that the enemy commander is a prince?"

Mu Jinyu nodded: "Yes, his name is Yin Ruoshui, the half-brother of King Yin Chengye of Yuelan. He started leading troops to fight at the age of fifteen, and it has been seven years now. He is insidious and cunning, and will do anything to achieve his goals. It is said that he recruited a large number of people from the underworld in Yuelan, and while learning martial arts from them, he trained them to be death warriors. Now it seems that this rumor is true."

Mu Lie commented with some approval, "I have fought with him several times. This man is a genius in terms of both wisdom and adaptability. If we are talking about people of the same age, I am far inferior to him."

Shi Qing added, "However, I heard that because he is too dazzling, the King of Yuelan has always been worried and suspicious of him, but he has to rely on him to fight against the surrounding countries and maintain this unstable relationship between the monarch and his subjects."

"That's true. Because of this, my father and I also used the strategy of alienating him when we confronted him, and it really worked."

Xia Qin listened quietly. Looking through the history of countries around the world, it seemed that there were always such people who were so successful that they frightened their rulers, and their endings were always sad.

"Alright, General Shi, reinforcements will be arriving soon, so we should hurry up and train to prepare for the attack on Yunzhong City!"

"Yes, old general!"

It is early winter now and the rivers in Mobei have frozen. Xia Qin, wearing fur clothes, is walking slowly along a small river in the town accompanied by Xiaoyu. Before they know it, they have walked several miles out of the town.

"Xiaoyu, have you been here before when you were in Mobei City?"

Xiaoyu shook her head and said, "I was still young when I fled the famine, and my parents were often not around, so I couldn't come to such a far place."

Xia Qin gently stroked Xiaoyu's hair and asked, "Were you sad when you returned to Mobei City a few days ago?"

Xiaoyu nodded, but then shook her head and said with some sadness: "The old house is long gone, and there are no acquaintances there. It seems that I have become a stranger there, and there is no place to be sad."

Xia Qin did not ask any more questions. Xiaoyu was right. If the familiar buildings and familiar people were gone, what was the difference between this place and other places?

What about those people she is familiar with? Will she meet them again?

For example, Mo Ye, I haven’t seen him for four months. Will he show up again?

When both of them were feeling sad, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from afar.

A white horse galloped straight towards them. It was Dongfang Yi.

Xiaoyu saw Dongfang Yi coming and asked in a low voice: "Sister, should I step aside?"

Xia Qin was somewhat speechless: "What's there to avoid?"

As the two were talking, Dongfang Yi jumped off his horse and said politely, "Brother Jinfeng, I went to the military camp to look for you just now. Your guard said you were out to relax, so I came to find you?"

Xia Qin glanced at him and said calmly, "General Dongfang, is there something wrong?"

"Brother Cheng Jinfeng saved me last time. I have been busy with military affairs in the city these days. I came here specially today to thank you!"

Xia Qin still replied calmly: "Oh, we are all serving the country, it is our duty, General Dongfang is too polite."

After Dongfang Yi finished speaking, he still stood there, hesitating and wanting to say something, but seemed a little embarrassed.

"General Dongfang, is there anything else?" Xia Qin looked up at the young general who was only a few years older than her.

Although Dongfang Yi had been fighting outside for many years and his skin was a little dark, his handsome face was clean, especially his clear eyes, which made people feel comfortable when looking at them.

Xiaoyu looked at Dongfang Yi and muttered softly, "Sister, I think I really need to wait over there for a while."

Dongfang Yi waved his hands quickly, and seemed to have made up his mind and said, "That day, when I saw Brother Jinfeng fighting with the enemy general, he used martial arts techniques. Brother Jinfeng also saw it at that time. We fought hand-to-hand on the ground, and I was no match for that man. If Brother Jinfeng doesn't mind, could you give me some pointers?"
