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

Mu Lie looked at the young "old rival" in front of him, ignored his words, and asked calmly: "General Yin has mobilized so many troops, is he here to chat with me?"

"Alas, there are some things we can't talk about after we go back," Yin Ruoshui sighed, and immediately changed his tone and ordered coldly, "Take them all back, including the one lying on the ground pretending to be dead!"

Qin Zhengran was lying on the ground with a sad face. He was lifted up by the neck like a chicken with Newcastle disease, and was tied up and thrown onto the horse's back unwillingly.

Half a day later, both the Yancheng Army and the Mobei Army learned that Mu Lie, Mu Jinyu and Qin Zhengran were ambushed and captured.

Upon hearing the news, Xia Qin, who had just recovered from his injuries, immediately led the Night Owl Squad to Mobei City.

As soon as she entered Mobei City, she immediately asked, "What's going on? Why did you let my father and brother come here?"

Dongfang Yi was also very anxious. Seeing Xia Qin's worry about her father and brother, he stepped forward to comfort her, "Miss Mu, General Mu and the others will be fine. Since they were not killed but taken away, they must have some requirements."

Xia Qin ignored Dongfang Yi's words and continued to ask forcefully: "Who knows the time and route of my father and brother's visit?"

On the way here, Xia Qin thought about it over and over again. This time, what happened to her father and brother was the same as what happened to her seven days ago. They must have been betrayed by a traitor again.

"What does Zhonglang Mu mean by this?" Seeing Xia Qin looking at him, Qin Ruoran asked with hostility, "You are a Zhonglang, how can you suspect that someone among us is colluding with the enemy?"

Xia Qin stared at Qin Ruoran and said without question, "Do you still need to doubt this? My father and brother came to Mobei City at your last minute notice, and the route is so hidden that the enemy must have prepared at least half a day in advance. If someone hadn't tipped them off in advance, how could they have been ambushed?"

Qin Ruoran felt a little guilty and replied casually: "Maybe I accidentally encountered a spy from the enemy country."

"Humph, spies from the enemy country?" Xia Qin snorted coldly, "My father has been fighting for many years, and my eldest brother's martial arts are not inferior to General Dongfang. He is also escorted by more than ten personal guards. Do the spies from the enemy country have the ability to take them away?"

Seeing Xia Qin being so aggressive this time, Qin Ruoran also replied unhappily: "The only ones who know about this are me, Brother Dongfang, and several generals of the Yancheng Army. Do you mean that we are colluding with the enemy? Is it possible?"

"What's impossible?"

"you……"

Just as the two were arguing, a soldier suddenly ran in hurriedly.

"Report! General Dongfang, someone from the enemy army just delivered a letter!"

"Delivering a letter?" Dongfang Yi asked immediately, "Where is the person?"

"He left...he left the letter at the foot of the city and left. This man is very skilled in martial arts, so we were unable to stop him."

As the soldier spoke, he presented the letter to Dongfang Yi.

Dongfang Yi took the letter and saw six words written on it: "From Miss Mu."

Xia Qin also stared at the letter in Dongfang Yi's hand, and naturally she could see the large characters.

Dongfang Yi hesitated for a moment, but still handed the letter to Xia Qin.

Xia Qin immediately opened the letter and read its contents.

"Tomorrow at noon, please ask Miss Mu to bring the Goryeo army to the north of Mobei City thirty miles away and use the two of them as hostages in exchange for the visiting General Mu Lie and his entourage."

Xia Qin looked at the content and whispered a few words to Huo Jinying beside her. Huo Jinying nodded and immediately left Mobei City.

Dongfang Yi looked at Xia Qin and asked in a low voice: "Miss Mu, what did the enemy say?"

After Xia Qin handed the letter to Dongfang Yi, Dongfang Yi immediately objected loudly with some excitement: "I don't agree!"

Qin Ruoran saw Dongfang Yi's reaction, and the muscles on his face twitched. He suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked in a low voice: "Brother Dongfang, what's wrong? Is it a letter from the enemy?"

Dongfang Yi didn't say anything, but handed the letter to Yun Feiqi.

After reading it, Yun Feiqi said with some doubt: "The enemy army wants to exchange General Mu and a prisoner for General Mu Lao and General Mu Shao."

When everyone present heard this, their first reaction was to find it difficult to understand.

Although Mu Lie is not as respected as he was during the reign of the previous emperor, he is still officially the General of Cavalry. The position of Grand General of the Great Xia Kingdom has been vacant for many years, and Mu Lie is the highest-ranking person in the military. Mu Jinyu is not only his son, but also the newly appointed General of Suppressing the Rebellion.

Although Qin Zhengran was just a dandy boy, he was also a soldier in the army and the son of Tingwei, one of the nine ministers of the dynasty.

If we simply view this matter as a transaction, the other party will be at a great disadvantage.

Unless the person from Goryeo who joined the army has some special identity, or Xia Qin has some special significance.

And there is another problem. Even if this deal is very profitable for the Great Xia Kingdom, I am afraid that General Mu Lie and Mu Jinyu will not agree to let Xia Qin go for the exchange.

Even Dongfang Yi in front of him strongly opposed it.

Sima Yun was outspoken. Hearing the enemy's request, he curiously asked, "Does Mu Zhonglang have any grudge against them? He was ambushed and killed last time, and now he is making such a request again."

Without waiting for Xia Qin to answer, Yun Feiqi quickly pulled Sima Yun aside and whispered, "What are you talking about? Mu Zhonglang had been in the Mu Mansion before. This was his first time to go on an expedition with General Mu. If there was any encounter with the enemy, it was only once when he saved the general at the beginning..."

Dongfang Yi frowned and thought for a while, then said again: "I don't agree with a direct exchange. We can take the opportunity to save General Mu when the other party comes to exchange."

Xia Qin looked at Dongfang Yi and said calmly, "General Dongfang, if I remember correctly, there is a desert thirty miles north of Mobei City. Moreover, it is noon. How can we arrange an ambush? Please tell me which is more important."

Dongfang Yi wanted to continue persuading him, but Xia Qin raised her hand to stop him: "General Dongfang, in public, I am a military officer under the General of Cavalry. In private, it is my father and brother who were arrested. They specifically asked me to go. I cannot escape unless Miss Qin, as the military supervisor, forbids me to do so."

As they spoke, everyone in the tent focused their attention on Qin Ruoran. Qin Ruoran was in a dilemma at this moment. As long as Xia Qin went to exchange, her brother Qin Zhengran would be able to return safely, and Xia Qin, the thorn in her side, would also be removed, which would be beneficial to her without any harm. However, under the watchful eyes of the public, she had to find a plausible reason.

Qin Ruoran glanced at Xia Qin, then glanced at the other people in the tent, and said righteously: "General Mu is the general of the cavalry of our Great Xia country. He has a high prestige in the army. He is also the commander of the Yancheng Army. He is crucial to the current battlefield situation. We must rescue him no matter what. Tomorrow, Mu Zhonglang will go there according to the enemy's request. When the time comes, no matter how much it costs, General Dongfang and I will find a way to rescue Mu Zhonglang!"

After saying so much, Xia Qin just needed to make sure Qin Ruoran didn't stop her.

"In that case, it's settled. Tomorrow at noon I will personally lead that Goryeo soldier to exchange for my father and brother!"

After returning to Huangshi Town, Xia Qin immediately thought of Zhou Hai, the traitor who betrayed her before. She found Huo Jinying to interrogate him to see if she could find some clues about the ambush of her father and brother.

"Miss, that man," Huo Jinying said awkwardly, "died on the second day of detention. Miss's injuries had not yet healed, so she did not report it."

"Dead?!" Xia Qin was deeply surprised. Could there be someone so blatant as to kill someone in Huangshi Town?

Huo Jinying whispered, "It was suicide."

Xia Qin breathed a sigh of relief. Well, now that things have developed to this point, this little minion is meaningless.

Xiaoyu at the side said worriedly: "Sister, are you going to exchange Master Mu and Brother Mu? I'll go with you, your injury has just healed..."

"Don't worry, Xiaoyu'er, sister will come back safely. If you go with me, I will have to distract myself to take care of you. Remember to stay in Huangshi Town honestly these few days and don't go anywhere!"

Xiaoyu understood this and nodded helplessly.

Xia Qin turned to Huo Jinying and said, "Brother Huo, don't act rashly these days. If Mo Ye comes back, you can follow his orders."

Huo Jinying looked embarrassed, his brows furrowed, his heart full of worries and struggles, but now it seemed that he could not do anything, so he could only nod slowly to show his agreement.

In the Mobei Gobi Desert, Xia Qin and Jin Wuchi walked slowly forward, followed by Dongfang Yi leading two thousand cavalrymen. Qin Ruoran and Yun Feiqi were also beside them. Huo Jinying and Xiaoyu were left behind in Huangshi Town by Xia Qin.

Today is not a good day. It is already bitterly cold in Mobei in winter. Now the sky suddenly becomes gloomy, as if a huge gray curtain covers the entire earth, and tiny snowflakes begin to fall.

Mu Lie and Mu Jinyu were escorted in front of the enemy army, with Qin Zhengran and several personal guards beside them. Seeing Xia Qin leading the Gaoli captives towards them, the two suddenly had a bad premonition.
