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

"My superiors, you are so slow!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Xia Qin immediately jumped off the carriage. Mo Ye was walking towards her with a smile on his face, and the boy A Gui whom she had seen before was standing in the distance.

"Yun Chen?" Mu Jinyu also came out to check the situation, "Why are you here?"

"I've been here for almost a month," Mo Ye smiled bitterly, "I heard that you were coming to Jinghai County, so I waited here. Who knew it would take so long."

Xia Qin was used to his nonsense, so she said in a fake tone, "Could it be that you are enjoying your stay in Soul Devouring Valley and don't want to leave?"

Xiaoyu said bluntly: "Master, my sister scolds you every day because you haven't gone to the capital yet."

"You, Xiaoyu, which side are you on?" Xia Qin pinched Xiaoyu's chubby little face.

Mu Jinyu laughed and teased, "Yun Chen, you've been here for so long and you didn't even bother to pick us up. We haven't been quiet all the way."

"Brother Jinyu, I'm dealing with something nearby," Mo Ye walked over to Xia Qin and Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, why did you turn into a fathead fish? Is the food at the Mu Mansion so good?"

When Xiaoyu heard Mo Ye insult her, she immediately changed her stance: "Master, you haven't come to the capital for such a long time, and there is no news from you. You are really untrustworthy. I am angry for my sister!"

However, the moment Xia Qin saw Mo Ye, her anger disappeared.

Mo Ye gently took her hand and said softly, "I have been here to prepare for you all this time. I can't show up every time you are in danger. That would be too undignified."

"Well, I know, I believe you." Xia Qin's eyes are now full of Mo Ye.

"Cough cough!" Mu Jinyu coughed loudly twice. Xia Qin turned around and saw that it was Mu Lie who got off the carriage.

Realizing that she had lost her composure, Xia Qin quickly shook off Mo Ye's broad, big hand.

"Yun Chen? You're here already. Let's go to Zishi County in Jinghai City first." Mu Lie looked at the county town that was already vaguely visible not far away.

Mo Ye also put away his tenderness just now, and immediately changed into a serious look. He nodded and greeted, and replied: "Uncle Mu, there are some situations in the county town. Don't go in yet. I have prepared a place to stay."

"Is there something going on?" Mu Lie looked into the distance vigilantly.

Mo Ye nodded: "Well, Uncle Mu, let's settle down first."

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions!"

Mo Ye brought everyone to a manor several miles away, covering an area of ​​about thirty acres.

This is a quaint manor. At the entrance of the manor, there stands a quaint and elegant stone archway with exquisite vines and flowers carved on it.

It was early spring now, and the manor was full of life.

Passing through the stone arch, a winding cobblestone path comes into view, lined with lush shrubs and well-manicured flower beds.

In the flower beds, flowers of various colors are in full bloom, red, yellow, and purple, interweaving into a colorful picture. When the breeze blows, the fragrance of flowers fills the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Deep in the manor are dozens of houses of different sizes and functions. Next to it is a pond of several acres with several strange round wellheads on it.

This place seems to be incompatible with the war outside, and every inch of land is filled with tranquility and harmony.

Seeing the exquisite decoration inside, Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful here, Master, have you been taking care of this manor all this time?"

"Jinghai County was originally a prosperous place, with many officials and wealthy businessmen living here, but due to the Japanese invasion, most of them have fled," Mo Ye led them to the backyard, "The owner of this manor also moved his family to the vicinity of the capital a few days ago, so I bought it."

"Master is so generous!" Xiaoyu obviously likes this place very much.

Xia Qin looked at the environment of the manor and was also a little amazed. It was much bigger than the Mu Mansion.

Mo Ye smiled and said, "Uncle Mu has been conferred the title of Duke of Weiguo. This place can be used as a residence from now on."

Mu Lie quickly waved his hand and said, "Yun Chen, you can use this place as a temporary place to stay. How can I occupy your manor?"

Mu Jinyu was not shy: "Father, we are all family. It's okay. Your body needs to rest. This place is just right. If it doesn't work, you can just buy it from Yun Chen at the original price."

These words made Xia Qin's face blush again.

"Yun Chen, you just said that there was something going on in Zishi County?" Mu Lie was only thinking about clearing out the Japanese pirates.

"Well, let's talk in the secret room!"

Mu Lie and the others were stunned: "Secret room?"

As he spoke, Mo Ye brought Mu Lie, Mu Jinyu, Xia Qin, Xiaoyu and Huo Jinying to a side room and gently turned the oil lamp on a chair.

A secret door slowly opened. After a zigzag walk, several people followed Mo Ye into a huge secret room in amazement. Judging from the location, this secret room should be under the pond in the manor.

There are several upward passages above the center of the secret room, which look like the strange wellheads on the pond?

It seems to be used for concealment and ventilation.

Xia Qin stared at Mo Ye and asked quietly, "Is this also the work of the original owner?"

"Of course not. I asked someone to prepare this for you half a month ago." As he spoke, he pointed to an exquisite sand table in the center of the secret room.

"What is this?" Mu Lie stared at the sand table, "The sand table of Jinghai County?"

Mo Ye's expression became serious, and he said seriously: "That's right. Five of the seven counties in Jinghai County have been occupied by the Japanese pirates. Among the five county magistrates, two died in the battle, one was captured, and two defected to the Japanese pirates."

When Xia Qin heard this, she couldn't help but blurt out, "Traitor dog!"

"Ah?" Mo Ye was interrupted, "What did you say?"

"Nothing, just continue talking about the situation in Jinghai County." Xia Qin stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly.

Mo Ye pointed to the northernmost part of the sand table and said, "Not only that, the county magistrates and some officials of the captured Zishi and Zhishui counties also colluded with the Japanese pirates, but there are still 3,000 anti-Japanese soldiers stationed in the two counties, so they dare not act rashly."

"These 3,000 anti-Japanese soldiers were organized spontaneously. Some of them were veterans who had retired from the army, but most of them were ordinary people from Jinghai County."

"Also, Jinghai County..."

Mo Ye found that Xia Qin and Mu Jinyu were staring at him with some ill intentions.

He felt uneasy when being looked at, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Jinyu, Xiaoyan, is there something you don't understand?"

Mu Jinyu asked directly: "Yun Chen, how do you know these situations so clearly?"

"I'm just bored here," Mo Ye said deliberately, "so I can gather some information for you."

Xia Qin and Mu Jinyu looked at him with suspicion.

Mu Lie stared at the sand table in a trance and urged: "Yun Chen, ignore them and continue to talk about the situation near Jinghai County."

Upon hearing this, Mo Ye ignored the gazes of Xia Qin and Mu Jinyu and continued to introduce the current situation in Jinghai County in detail.

After listening to him, Mu Lie praised: "Yun Chen, when you were little, I said that you were the smartest among the kids. Now it seems that you are still the smartest. It is rare to have such a high level of investigation even far away from the battlefield."

Mo Ye smiled awkwardly, and when he saw Xia Qin and Mu Jinyu looking at him, he quickly changed the subject.

"The most pressing issue now is how to deal with the county magistrates of Zishi and Zhishui counties."

"Kill him!" Xia Qin and Mu Jinyu said in unison.

Mo Ye looked at the two of them speechlessly and murmured, "You siblings really are becoming more and more alike."
