Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

Lingyan was very happy to see Jiang Muxue like this.

He then smiled and invited her inside.

After she entered the room and closed the door, the two couldn't help but embrace each other.

Jiang Muxue hugged Lingyan tightly and said excitedly, "It really is Ya Ya, you're here! I really didn't expect you to come, I'm so happy."

Her voice is no longer as weak as it used to be; it is now full of strength and confidence.

Lingyan was also infected by the joy of this reunion.

She responded to Jiang Muxue's embrace, her voice full of emotion and relief: "We were on our way to Xuan Yue Kingdom, so we thought we'd come and see you while we were passing through. Now that I see you like this, I feel relieved and relieved, and I'm happy for you too."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Muxue slowly released Ling Yan, but her eyes remained intense, as if burning with raging flames.

She smiled at Ling Yan, her eyes shining with determination: "Of course! Here I can be myself to my heart's content, and my family is very happy that I've returned to being myself. Now I also have a position in the army, and if war breaks out, I will not hesitate to go to the battlefield and shed my blood for Da Zhao! You wait and see how I bring glory to all women in the world!"

When she said this, her eyes were full of unwavering conviction and determination.

Lingyan smiled and supported her, saying, "Of course I believe you can do it. I'll wait and see that day."

Although the Great Zhao Dynasty did not have an explicit rule prohibiting women from joining the army or going to the battlefield.

However, for a long time, conventional wisdom has been like an invisible shackle, binding women's steps.

Although women have also distinguished themselves on the battlefield in recent years.

However, many families are still unwilling to let their female relatives serve in the military.

Therefore, they have always restricted their access to such things.

The women had no opportunity to learn martial arts or study military strategy; they had only heard of such powerful women.

Some women don't care about this, but others envy and yearn for it.

They also wanted to leave their homes, go to the battlefield, and make contributions, just like those women.

But they had never studied this kind of thing before, so were they just going to be a hindrance on the battlefield?

Secondly, they were unable to resist their families, so they could only give up regretfully.

However, Jiang Muxue's situation was different.

Firstly, she was of noble birth; secondly, her family was open-minded and did not object; and thirdly, she herself was exceptionally talented and possessed superb martial arts skills.

Therefore, if she wanted to join the army and fight on the battlefield, it would be an extremely simple matter.

And no one will stop them.

Of course, no one dared to stop it.

Since Emperor Jingzhao had already made it clear that women could also go to the battlefield, he would naturally not be an obstacle, but would be happy to see it happen.

Therefore, even if there are some rumors or reservations in the world, it has no real impact.

It neither shook Jiang Muxue's resolve nor affected her progress.

In fact, Jiang Muxue knew in her heart why many families did not allow women to join the army and go to the battlefield.

Firstly, they clung to outdated ideas, believing that women should stay within their proper roles and not deviate from the norm, and that fighting on the battlefield was not something women should do.

Secondly, they worried that with so many men in the military camp, women might be...

Even if they don't, they will inevitably face criticism, which may even affect the family's reputation and consequently impact marriage arrangements.

Therefore, they stubbornly adhered to this concept and resolutely opposed women joining the army.

Of course, there are also families who love their daughters dearly, but simply don't want their daughters to face the dangers and cruelty of the battlefield.

They would rather their daughters lead ordinary lives than have them struggle to survive amidst violence and danger.

In short, whatever the reason, there are very few women in military camps nowadays.

That's why Jiang Muxue wanted to change this situation herself.

I also want to show everyone just how amazing women are on the battlefield!

They can be just as brave and fearless, and they can also achieve great things!

Lingyan naturally supported her idea unconditionally and believed that she could do it.

At this point, Shen Qingchen and Chu Xiyao had been left out for quite some time.

Lingyan then remembered to introduce the two of them to Jiang Muxue.

Jiang Muxue learned who the two were through the introduction.

So he smiled, clasped his hands in greeting, and greeted the two of them.

The two returned the gesture with a fist and palm salute.

Then the waiter brought the food, and the four of them ate and chatted together.

This meal allowed Ling Yan to witness Jiang Muxue's true appetite.

It was probably twice as much as her appetite.

And she does seem to really enjoy eating meat.

After lunch, Jiang Muxue asked Ling Yan, "How long can you stay in Licheng?"

Lingyan replied, "Three days. After all, I need to get back to the capital by the end of the year, otherwise I'll be stranded on the way due to the heavy snow in winter."

Jiang Muxue said she understood, and then said, "Then I will take you to experience the prosperity of Licheng for the next three days."

Ling Yan smiled and replied, "Okay!"

Then Jiang Muxue asked, "Do I need to inform my father about your visit?"

Lingyan shook her head and said, "No need. I will try to keep my departure from the capital a secret. Besides, there is no need for me to see Marquis Anyuan in a special way."

Jiang Muxue nodded in understanding.

The four then left the inn, and Jiang Muxue led the three of them on a tour of Licheng.

Jiang Muxue now walks with a brisk pace, and Lingyan often can't keep up with her.

Seeing this, Jiang Muxue deliberately slowed down and walked alongside her.

It must be said that Licheng was indeed very prosperous under the rule of Marquis Anyuan.

The streets are bustling with people coming and going.

The vendors' cries rose and fell, filling the air with the vibrant energy of daily life.

Fresh vegetables and fruits filled the stalls, their vibrant colors and enticing aromas filling the air.

The fish and shrimp that the fishermen had just caught from the river were lively and jumping, attracting customers to stop and buy them.

There are also various handicrafts, such as exquisite wood carvings, delicate ceramics, and ingenious embroidery, all of which demonstrate the skill and ingenuity of the people of Licheng.

The architecture of Licheng is also unique.

The towering city gate stands majestically, its gray bricks sturdy and heavy, showcasing the city's majesty.

The mansions in the city are arranged in a well-organized manner, with flying eaves and brackets, carved beams and painted rafters, showing their luxury and grandeur.

Ordinary people's houses are neat and orderly, with white walls and black tiles, simple yet cozy.

Exquisite sculptures and fountains can be seen from time to time in the streets and alleys, adding an artistic touch to the city.

The city of Licheng has a unique charm at night.

The streets were lined with bright red lanterns, illuminating the entire city as if it were daytime.

The restaurants and inns were brightly lit and packed with guests.

People enjoyed delicious food while watching wonderful song and dance performances.

The musicians played melodious tunes, and the singers sang sweetly and danced gracefully, captivating the audience.

At the night market, a wide variety of snacks are on display, filling the air with their aroma.

The sizzling lamb skewers are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside; the sugar-roasted chestnuts are sweet and delicious, leaving a lingering aftertaste; and the steaming hot wontons, noodles, and other noodle dishes are both comforting and heartwarming.

The cultural atmosphere in Licheng is also very rich.

Inside the school, the sound of reading aloud filled the air as children diligently studied under their teacher's guidance.

In the academy, scholars gathered together to discuss poetry, prose, classics, history, philosophy, and literature, creating a lively and intense academic atmosphere.

Inside the theater, wonderful opera performances were staged one after another, with each actor showcasing their unique talents, immersing the audience in the world of art.

In addition, Licheng has very convenient transportation.

The wide official roads stretched in all directions, connecting the surrounding cities and villages.

At the post station, the horses were strong and the drivers were warm and attentive, providing convenient services to travelers.

On the river, boats shuttle back and forth, laden with goods and passengers, spreading the prosperity of Licheng to far and wide.

In short, under the rule of Marquis Anyuan, Licheng, even though it was far from the capital, was full of prosperity and vitality.

It's practically the paradise on earth that everyone longs for.

The people live a peaceful and prosperous life, and everywhere there are warm and harmonious scenes.

After three days of sightseeing, Lingyan and her two companions had to say goodbye to Jiang Muxue.

It was the early morning of the fourth day, and Jiang Muxue escorted them from the inn to the outskirts of the city.
