Inside the camp, Sun Yong quietly approached Lu Yinheng, his face full of flattery, and said, "Brother Lu, do you know what we've been chosen to do? We're not going to send us to the battlefield, are we?"

This time, the Sun family sent Sun Yong from the eldest branch of the family and Sun Jie from the second branch to serve in the military.

The two brothers completely inherited the Sun family's cowardly nature.

When Sun Yong saw Lu Yinheng in the military camp, he felt as if he had seen a savior.

Even though Lu Yinheng's expression was cold and he clearly didn't like him, he still kept moving closer to him.

Upon learning that they had been singled out, they panicked and hurriedly sought out Lu Yinheng to inquire.

Lu Yinheng had no good feelings towards the Sun family. He said expressionlessly, "Once you're in the army, going to the battlefield is perfectly reasonable!"

"What should we do then?" Sun Yong panicked immediately. "Brother Lu, you know kung fu, you have to protect me then."

Fang Zijian, who was standing to the side, heard his words and immediately said with disdain, "On the battlefield, swords have no eyes. Brother Lu doesn't have time to care about you."

If you're so scared you're wetting yourself at this point, you might as well hang yourself with a hair; that way you won't embarrass yourself on the battlefield and bring shame to our Great Zhou."

Although he was a scholar, he was full of passion and could not stand people like Sun Yong who were afraid of death.

Sun Yong glared at him defiantly and said, "Who are you? I'm talking to my older brother, what's it to you?"

Fang Zijian scoffed and said, "Your surname is Sun, and his surname is Lu. Who are you to call yourself his younger brother? Have you no shame? You've been following Brother Lu around like a shadow these past few days."

Sun Yong spat, "You're just jealous because you couldn't keep up, aren't you? Look at you, still calling him Brother Lu, can you honestly say you're not thinking the same thing? You just want Brother Lu to protect you?"

Fang Zijian angrily retorted, "You're just a coward with a filthy heart, and you think everyone is like you?"

"You're the one who's afraid of death!" Sun Yong's eyes widened, and he was about to make a move.

"Enough!" Lu Yinheng snapped. "Go use your energy on the battlefield, don't fight amongst yourselves here!"

He was about to say a few more words when he suddenly heard someone exclaim, "Uh... why are there women in the camp? What's going on? Why are they coming this way?"

He looked up and saw Ji Yunshuang walking towards him. His first thought was that he was seeing things.

But as Ji Yunshuang approached step by step, her appearance became clearer and clearer before him, and he knew that he was not seeing things, it really was her.

Why did she come to the military camp?

Lu Yinheng frowned involuntarily as he looked at Ji Yunshuang's strategist and Fu Ci.

Do they know each other?

Just as I was thinking this, I heard Fu Ci say, "This is Commander Ji. You will be under her command for this mission."

As soon as Fu Ci finished speaking, hushed whispers arose from the crowd.

Some people bluntly said that the officials in charge must have gone mad to entrust them to a woman.

Some people questioned how Ji Yunshuang, a woman, could become a captain. What gave her the right? Wasn't this a joke?

Which official in charge is risking everyone's lives just to please a woman? Isn't this going too far?

Only a few people, including Lu Yinheng and Fang Zijian, who knew Ji Yunshuang, said nothing.

For a fleeting moment upon seeing Ji Yunshuang, Fang Zijian's eyes even flashed with a hint of surprise. However, a moment later, the surprise turned into worry.

Fu Ci observed everyone's reactions, but he said nothing.

If Ji Yunshuang can't even subdue these few greenhorns, she has no ability to compete for power and status among men.

She was even less likely to accomplish that impossible task.

This could be seen as a test for her, and he will not offer her any help.

Ji Yunshuang didn't take the whispers of the crowd seriously.

She looked around at everyone and was slightly surprised when she saw Lu Yinheng. She hadn't expected him to be among the people assigned to her.

She couldn't help but glance at Fu Ci, suspecting that he knew about her relationship with Lu Yinheng and was doing this intentionally.

However, it's not a bad thing to have him come along on missions; at least Lu Yinheng is quite skilled.

As for the others, those who doubt her abilities, they'll behave themselves after a bit of discipline.

Ji Yunshuang didn't say much for the time being, but only instructed everyone to take their weapons and set off with her immediately.

Although everyone was dissatisfied, they dared not act rashly in front of Fu Ci and Xie Liang, and could only reluctantly follow Ji Yunshuang.

Once they left the military camp, some people began to loudly complain.

Some even made vulgar jokes about Ji Yunshuang, asking her whose woman she was and how she got the position of general manager.

"Why bother being a lowly platoon leader when you've already latched onto a powerful figure? Wouldn't it be better to stay at home as a noblewoman? Women should stay home to be wives and mothers, not to show their faces in public."

"That's right, Commander Ji, please have some decency and stop joking around with our lives. This is going to the battlefield, not for you women to bicker. If this goes wrong, people could lose their lives."

"That's right, take us back now and talk to your superior, who's your lover. It's still not too late to go back now, but if we wait too long, it will be too late."

……

Ji Yunshuang didn't react at first, but just watched them quietly. Only after she had clearly seen those who disobeyed her did she suddenly draw her sword.

In just a few moments, they shaved off most of the hair of those people who had been spewing powder from their mouths.

Her movements were swift and fluid, like a blur, and she shaved off the hair of more than a dozen people in one fell swoop.

Everyone only reacted after he sheathed his sword. Looking at their severed hair, they all broke out in a cold sweat.

If she hadn't shown mercy, their heads would be gone by now.

And is she even human?

How could she be so fast? It felt like only the blink of an eye, and she had pierced through the crowd with her sword, accurately finding those who disobeyed her and shaving off their hair.

It was so fast that they couldn't even react.

This is something no human could do...

Ji Yunshuang looked at the group of people with an icy expression and said, "Do you still think I should go back to being a wife and mother?"

The people whose hair had been shaved all knelt on the ground.

Many soldiers whose hair hadn't been shaved also straightened up and unconsciously knelt down.

"We were blind to your greatness, Commander Ji. Please give us another chance."

After someone spoke up, others quickly followed suit, begging Ji Yunshuang for forgiveness.

Ji Yunshuang looked at them coldly and said, "I'll let you off this time because I have a mission. But if there's a next time—"

Before she could finish speaking, the crowd below shouted in unison, "There won't be a next time. From now on, we will all listen to Commander Ji. If you tell us to go east, we will never go west. We will obey Commander Ji's orders in everything."
