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

"Who are you?" The people who stopped them were not yamen runners, but two sturdy young men.

Xia Qin glanced at them, took out the bronze token symbolizing the status of the prefect and waved it in front of the two of them.

"Are you the new Jinghai County Governor Mu Jinyan?" The man in blue looked at Xia Qin, then turned his gaze to Mu Jinyu, "This should be the Zhenjun General Mu Jinyu?"

Huo Jinying looked at the two men and asked in a serious tone, "Who are you? Are you addressing the two adults by their names?"

The blue-clothed man's originally serious expression suddenly became a little awkward.

The other person quickly explained: "Sir, we are both rough people and don't understand these things. We don't mean to offend."

Mu Jinyu looked at the two men and asked when he saw the weapons in their hands, "You are the members of the 3,000 anti-Japanese army, right?"

The man in blue clasped his fists and said, "General Mu has good eyesight. My name is Wang Rulong and his name is Tang Kekuan. We are captains in the anti-Japanese army. Brother Wu asked us to wait for the two superiors here."

Brother Wu? It should be that Wu Baipeng, right?

Xia Qin looked at the two of them. Wang Rulong looked like a man of the world, and Tang Kekuan also looked like a warrior.

"Let's go to the county government office first. I heard that the county magistrate was killed by Japanese pirates." Xia Qin explained briefly.

When Wang Rulong heard Xia Qin say this, he immediately replied: "Hey, we don't have to worry about them, that Wu..."

Tang Kekuan grabbed him and said respectfully, "Then the two of us will wait here for the two superiors."

Xia Qin, Mo Ye, Mu Jinyu and Huo Jinying entered the county government office, while the others waited outside.

The county government office was in chaos at the moment. Xia Qin had already walked to the center of the hall when a gray-haired old man came forward and asked, "Who are you?"

"Mu Jinyan." Looking at the scene in the county government office, Xia Qin was not in a good mood.

"Mu Jinyan? Who are you looking for?" The gray-haired old man replied nonchalantly, "If you're looking for our county magistrate, he just died!"

Xia Qin was speechless for a moment. It seemed that the people in the county government were not as good as the two people at the door.

Huo Jinying also opened his eyes and reminded in a deep voice: "This is the newly appointed governor of Jinghai County!"

The old man shook his head before reacting. He immediately bowed and said, "It turns out to be Lord Mu. I am Fan Tu, the county magistrate of Zishi County. I didn't know that Lord Mu had come from afar. I am sorry for being impolite. I hope you will forgive me. But this county magistrate..."

Xia Qin was stunned.

Why call her Lord of the Mansion? Not Lord Governor?

Hey, why didn’t I study the official system of the Great Xia carefully?

But this matter is not difficult for her clever little brain.

She replied with a serious expression: "I already know about this matter. How can the county government be in such a mess? You will temporarily take charge of Zishi County and handle the county's affairs."

"This..." The old man's eyes showed his hesitation, "Your humble servant..."

"That's settled. I have other things to deal with. Next time I come, I hope everything here is in order!"

The old man was speechless, but how could he disobey the prefect's order? He could only bow respectfully and say goodbye.

Xia Qin turned around and several people left.

She is not good at the ways of officialdom now, and just wants to go and see those anti-Japanese soldiers and wipe out the Japanese pirates as soon as possible.

Unlike the battle in the north, she is fully motivated to wipe out these Japanese invaders who have invaded Daxia!

"Let's go! Take us to see your leader." Mu Jinyu said to Wang Rulong and the others.

"Well, General Mu, please follow us." But Wang Rulong said with some embarrassment, "Our base is relatively hidden, so many people..."

"Brother Huo, please wait for us at the county government office. We can help the county magistrate sort things out," Xia Qin said cheerfully. "My brother, Mo Ye and I will be able to go."

Huo Jinying glanced at Wang Rulong and the other two, and his intuition told him that they did not seem to be treacherous people. Thinking that the martial arts of Mo Ye and the other two were enough to deal with unexpected situations, he nodded.

Then, Wang Rulong and his companions took Xia Qin and the other two out of the county town, wandering around the main roads and small roads.

Perhaps because she didn’t sleep enough last night, Xia Qin felt a little tired.

Mo Ye felt a little distressed, and he said coldly to Wang Rulong and the others, "There is no one following us in the hilly area thirteen miles southeast, Luqiao Village. Let's not go around."

Although they knew they were not enemies, Wang Rulong and Tang Kekuan still looked at him warily when they saw that Mo Ye knew their hiding place so well.

Mu Jinyu also looked a little unhappy: "Two brothers, stop wasting time."

Seeing this, the two stopped beating around in circles and headed straight for a lower path.

"We are both following orders, please don't blame us, General Mu."

Mu Jinyu didn't say anything, but observed the surrounding environment and terrain.

Xia Qin looked at the two and asked, "Have you not fought with the Japanese pirates recently?"

"No, we don't have military supplies and fodder," Wang Rulong's mood was always written on his face, and now he looked lonely, "and the Japanese pirates have been looking for us everywhere, and the remaining two county magistrates are also traitors."

Mo Ye looked at him, wanting to test their understanding of the Japanese pirates, and deliberately asked: "Are there many Japanese pirates nearby? You also have nearly 3,000 people. Haven't you tried to attack the occupied counties of Jinghai County?"

"Ah!" Wang Rulong sighed heavily, "My dear brother, to be honest, there are not many Japanese pirates in each county, but they are scattered and move quickly. When we attack a place, we can't find a few of them, but they can quickly gather tens of thousands of people to surround us. That's how we were beaten down to only 3,000 out of 10,000 people."

They did not walk fast and it took them half an hour to reach the anti-Japanese army's camp.

As far as the eye can see, there are hills of all sizes and heights, and secret sentries of the anti-Japanese army are everywhere.

Under the leadership of Wang Rulong and his companions, they successfully arrived at a village that looked very desolate on the surface.

As soon as he arrived at the village, Wang Rulong shouted, "Brother Wu, General Mu and Lord Mu are here!"

He had a loud voice and his voice could easily be heard throughout the quiet village.

Soon, many soldiers walked out of the houses that looked abandoned for a long time, and the whole village immediately became lively.

One of them, a middle-aged man in a white gown, was particularly eye-catching.

His face was calm and profound, his brows revealing an elegant and peaceful temperament, and his smile was light and friendly.

His sleeves fluttered in the wind, elegant and refined, but the long sword at his waist told people that he was not a scholar, but a general.

Xia Qin and others understood that this man should be the leader of the anti-Japanese army, Wu Baipeng.

"Your humble servant Wu Baipeng pays respects to General Mu and Lord Mu!"

Wu Baipeng walked forward quickly, bowing respectfully, then he looked at Mo Ye and asked politely, "Who is this?"

"My name is Mo Ye, a wandering man in the martial arts world."

Mo Ye clasped his fists politely.

"Since you are here, you must be a close friend of General Mu and Lord Mu," Wu Baipeng bowed respectfully. "I am originally the chief clerk of the Jinghai County Governor. I am just a civil servant. I was ordered to organize the anti-Japanese army in times of crisis. Now that the two superiors are here, I will hand over these 3,000 soldiers to them."

Xia Qin looked at this Confucian general and asked Mo Ye in a low voice: "In Daxia, what is the adjutant of the governor?"

Mo Ye bit his ear and replied, "Sima Beijia, you can exercise the duties of the governor when the governor is away."

Xia Qin nodded, looked at Wu Baipeng and said in a serious tone: "From today on, you are the deputy Sima of Jinghai County! The seat of Jinghai County is temporarily located in the county government of Zishi County."

Wu Baipeng bowed and accepted the order: "I obey your order, but I would like to remind you that the magistrate of Zishi County may be in collusion with the Japanese pirates, so it is not appropriate to set up the government there."

"That county magistrate?" Xia Qin said lightly, "He's dead. I heard he was killed by Japanese pirates."

Wu Baipeng was stunned: "He's dead?"

Mu Jinyu also added: "He died, and the magistrate of Zhishui County also died. It seems that he had a conflict with some Japanese pirates before he died."

Wu Baipeng didn't dare to question what Xia Qin and Mu Jinyu said, but his eyes showed that he didn't quite believe the news.

At this time, a young man rushed in from outside, ran to Wu Baipeng and said breathlessly: "Brother Wu, the county magistrates of Zishi County and Zhishui County are all dead. Next to their bodies are the bodies of four Japanese pirates. It seems that they fought each other."

The news was correct, and the doubts on Wu Baipeng's face disappeared.

But then he turned a little worried: "My two superiors, we are facing a difficult problem right now."
