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

"Hmm?" Xia Qin's sudden apology made Mo Ye a little confused, "What's wrong?"

Xia Qin whispered, "I had agreed to travel the world with you after returning from the North, but I didn't expect to drag you to the battlefield again."

"Oh, about this," Mo Ye gently stroked Xia Qin's hair, "I thought you did something to let me down while I was away!"

"Bah! A dog can't spit out ivory!" Xia Qin was slightly angry.

"There's a reef over there where we can sit," Mo Ye held Xia Qin's hand and walked forward slowly, "Actually, whether we're in the martial arts world or in the imperial court, it doesn't make any difference. As long as we're safe and you're here, it's good now."

"What a smooth talker!" Although Xia Qin felt a faint happiness in her heart after hearing these words, she still spoke with disdain.

The two sat on the reef, and Mo Ye gently hugged Xia Qin.

Everything was silent except for the sound of the waves lapping gently against the shore in the darkness, producing a low and harmonious melody.

It was the end of the month and late at night. The edge of the sky began to turn slightly white and the waning moon was about to rise.

The breeze blew gently, carrying the saltiness of the sea water and the coolness of the night, passing through the hair and brushing across the cheeks, bringing a refreshing comfort.

It's also a bit cold.

Mo Ye hugged Xia Qin tightly, and the two of them watched quietly as the silver hook of the skyline slowly separated from the sea. The sea surface seemed to be covered by a layer of gauze, hazy and mysterious.

"Xia Xia, do you know?"

"Ok?"

"I always thought that you and my elder brother would recover. You and Brother Jinyu would become generals who fought everywhere. In the North, I knew you would be on the battlefield for a long time."

Xia Qin tilted her head to look at Mo Ye's handsome profile: "Why? Mr. Mo is also quite accomplished in the art of divination?"

Mo Ye also looked at Xia Qin. The moonlight sprinkled on her delicate face. Beneath her cold and heroic aura was the tenderness of a girl.

The sea breeze lifted Xia Qin's long hair, which gently stroked Mo Ye's gentle face and also stirred his heart.

Looking at the heroic beauty in front of him who was like a quiet painting, Mo Ye saw the mischief and expectation in her eyes.

"I know a little bit. Besides, I like to practice things that I am not very good at."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and slowly approached Xia Qin's face. His thin lips gently touched her cheek, and then slowly slid towards her lips.

Xia Qin naturally looked up and greeted him.

The two of them could clearly feel each other's intense heartbeats.

At this moment, they seemed to blend into the moonlight and waves, becoming a beautiful picture.

I don't know how much time had passed, the moon had risen to halfway in the sky, and the two were still snuggling together tightly.

"Xia Xia, are you cold?"

"It's not cold, you're warm."

Mo Ye gently stroked Xia Qin's long hair and touched her cheek which was still a little hot.

"It's indeed not cold." He said and kissed her gently again.

Xia Qin enjoyed Mo Ye's body temperature, looked at the ripples on the sea, and asked calmly: "Mo Ye, who are those men in black today?"

"Some ordinary people." Mo Ye answered seriously.

"Average?" Xia Qin moved slightly, "Why do I feel like their martial arts are better than mine?"

"They are not as good as you in martial arts," Mo Ye also looked at the sea, his eyes a little dazed, "but they are indeed ordinary people, including craftsmen, farmers, shop assistants..."

"Spy?" Xia Qin became curious again.

"Just grains of sand." Mo Ye's eyes were a little dazed.

"Did you train and arrange them?"

"Part of it," Mo Ye seemed to remember something, "and some of it was entrusted to me by others."

"They are all from the underworld, right?"

"People from the underworld? I guess so. That's why they obey orders from me, a wandering underworld person who doesn't look like a underworld person."

Xia Qin withdrew her gaze from the sea and looked at Mo Ye's face again.

"Don't you look like a man of the underworld?"

"Haha," Mo Ye laughed at himself, "I say every day that I am a wandering person in the martial arts world, but they never treat me as an ordinary person in the martial arts world."

"Who are you then?" Xia Qin felt that Mo Ye was doing something secretly.

"You'll know later. Let's go back and rest for a while. We still have a lot of things to deal with tomorrow."

"Ah."

The manor is quiet and beautiful in the morning, like an exquisite oil painting. The air is filled with a fresh scent, a mixture of the fragrance of flowers, grass and soil, which is refreshing.

Everyone gathered in the meeting room of the manor early to discuss the matter of entering the city.

"Yu'er, Yan'er, I will not go to the county today. One of you is a general and the other is a governor. You should learn to handle these military and government affairs independently. Your father is waiting for your good news here."

After hearing what Mu Lie said, Xia Qin and Mi Jinyu looked at each other, but they also understood their father's painstaking efforts.

"Yes, Daddy (Father)!"

Entering Zishi County is like entering another world.

There is no longer peace and tranquility, no more singing birds and blooming flowers, and people no longer have that peaceful mood.

Unlike the small town outside the bamboo forest of Xiling City, there are quite a few people here and it is not dilapidated.

But it wasn't lively, and the hawkers' cries on the street seemed weak.

There are scattered beddings in every corner of the street. It seems that some homeless people are sleeping outside at night, which is quite dangerous in this weather.

Everyone was covered in dust and dirt, and there was fear and confusion in everyone's eyes.

The place is bustling with people, but filled with a dead atmosphere.

Xia Qin and his group of about dozens of people entered the county town, attracting a lot of people's attention.

Their neat clothes and determined gazes seemed out of place in the entire county, but the people around them were more concerned about the military uniforms that most of them were wearing.

The county government office was just a hundred meters away, so they planned to go there first to take a look at the situation.

"Are you sent by the imperial court to kill the Japanese pirates?" An old man who was drinking porridge suddenly ran to Xia Qin and asked.

"Yes, old man." Xia Qin replied softly.

"That's good, that's good," the old man said tremblingly, "Now I finally don't have to run away anymore. I'm old. From Taizhou to Wuzhong, from Wuzhong to Jinghai, from Dongsheng County to Zishi County, my old bones can't run anymore."

"Uncle, there's no need to run anymore." Xia Qin comforted.

"It's bad! It's bad!" At this moment, several men who looked like yamen runners came running over, shouting, "The county magistrate has been killed! The county magistrate has been killed by the Japanese pirates!"

They shouted and ran towards the county government office.

"The county magistrate was killed?" Several civilians nearby suddenly became even more panicked, "Did the Japanese pirates break in?!"

"What should we do? Let's continue running north!" A woman said in horror, pulling the man beside her, who should be her husband.

"Humph!" a middle-aged man said disdainfully, "That dog official, the fat and big-eared one, let him die. The Japanese pirates didn't invade us not because of him!"

The originally lifeless streets became lively because of the news, and some people were even ready to pack their bags.

Xia Qin and his group quickened their pace and walked towards the county government office. Unexpectedly, they were stopped by someone as soon as they arrived at the gate of the county government office.
