You put me in charge of the prison and turned all the female prisoners into female military goddesse

Beep beep pop—

The fire used for warmth made the sound of burning and cracking wood.

Lu Jing looked at everyone, waiting for an 'answer'.

After a while.

"Um!"

A resolute voice.

The thin, frail girl looked at Wen Lanxiang and nodded vigorously: "I understand why I wanted to join the army, because of the road beating..."

She then turned to Lu Jing, raising her thin, slender arms like reeds: "Lord Lu, I want to join the army too!"

"We understand now!"

The women followed suit, raising their hands again: "Lord Lu, I want to join the army."

"good!"

Lu Jing's voice was enthusiastic: "Very spirited!"

"Then let's begin from now on—"

Beside her, Qin Liniang excitedly bowed to Lu Jing, saying, "Lord Lu, we are all your soldiers now."

"Yes! We will all be your soldiers, Lord Lu."

The women clasped their hands in a gesture of respect.

Lu Jing raised her hand to dismiss everyone's formalities, saying it was getting late and everyone should take the time to rest, as they had a lot of tasks waiting for them tomorrow.

However, before going to sleep, Lu Jing selected a few people to keep watch at night.

In the deep mountains and forests, in a temple with an eerie atmosphere, it wouldn't be good for everyone to fall asleep.

Besides himself, Lu Jing jumped on fifteen other people.

Before nightfall, Lu Jing had already explored every nook and cranny of the temple, and he knew exactly which spot was the most suitable for setting up sentry posts.

"You're here, yes."

"And you, here."

"And here, yes, right here where you're standing. And you, hide here. Don't show your face. Just hide here, and don't talk to the people in front of you. Don't say a word, understand?"

"I don't understand, Lord Lu."

The assigned female prisoner raised her hand, puzzled:

"I'm only three zhang away from the sisters on guard duty in front of me. If I hide in the small cubicle in the back, wouldn't that be the same as everyone else? Also, why can't we talk? It's such a long night, it's so boring not to chat."

The other party had no military experience, but Lu Jing didn't blame her and patiently explained:

"Your position is called a hidden sentry, while the one in front is called an exposed sentry. You are in the shadows, so the enemy doesn't know you exist. If the exposed sentry is attacked, you can still shout to warn everyone, so the enemy can't sneak in silently."

After his explanation, the women suddenly understood and exclaimed "Oh, oh, oh!" repeatedly.

"Lord Lu, you are truly remarkable."

"I can learn a lot from you."

Lu Jing chuckled: "That's nothing special. There are even more impressive things you haven't seen yet."

He meant that military skills are a lifelong pursuit, and there are always advanced levels to master.

But the female prisoners in front of them heard it in a different way.

The women raised their eyebrows at each other, exchanged glances, and each wore a mischievous smile, intending to "tease" Lu Jing.

They grinned mischievously, moved very close, puffed out their chests, and tried their best to bulge them out.

"Oh my, Lord Lu, let me see something even more amazing!"

"Yes, yes, sir, I can't wait any longer."

Lu Jing realized what they meant.

Haha, do you think I'm some greenhorn who would blush and get nervous over such a small trick?

"Okay, another day."

As he spoke, Lu Jing suddenly reached out as if to grab the female prisoners in front of them. The women were startled and cried out, covering their bodies.

Then everyone came to their senses and realized that they had been tricked by Lu Jing.

They all puffed up their cheeks and glared at Lu Jing.

With everything arranged, Lu Jing looked up at the sky; it was almost 10 o'clock, the hour of Hai (9-11 PM).

Inside the main hall, the female prisoners were fast asleep.

So much happened that day that everyone was exhausted and fell asleep almost immediately upon lying down; there wasn't even anyone grinding their teeth or snoring.

Lu Jing was not sleepy, so he got up and left the temple.

Although sentries were set up, both overt and covert, it was the first time these women had worked the night shift, and it was uncertain whether they could stay awake. Lu Jing was still worried.

I feel more at ease only if I patrol the area myself.

The moon is full tonight, its bright light shining on the quiet mountain forest, creating a scene reminiscent of an oil painting, further emphasizing the tranquility.

Lu Jing extended its patrol along the route it had taken at dawn.

Defense cannot be about sticking to a fixed call; it must be mobile and flexible.

"Hurry up, watch your step."

"I'm already going very fast, I've fallen several times already!"

someone!

Lu Jing heard someone speaking from below the tall grass to his side.

He quickly crouched down and hid in the nearby woods, lying prone and observing from between two trees.

What's going on?

The pursuers have come knocking on our door?

Dengdengdengdeng-

Footsteps were disordered.

Lu Jing listened carefully, first making a rough judgment that there should be about five people on the other side, then took out a slingshot and prepared to fight.

The footsteps grew closer.

Lu Jing held his breath.

Swish swish—

The grass swayed to the side, then was trampled and made a 'crack' sound, and then a big bald head jumped out.

"Hurry up, damn it, stop dawdling."

By the moonlight, Lu Jing could see the bald man's impatient face and the three fish-mouth-sized scabs on his head.

"You're shouting too softly. Speak louder so that Wang Lu's soldiers in Anping County can hear you."

A resentful retort came from the bushes.

The next second, a red-haired boy carrying a shovel emerged from the bushes.

Judging from their conversation, they were not Wang Lu's soldiers.

And what's with this red hair? In ancient times, when even bicycles couldn't be made, how could they have hair dyeing technology?

Lu Jing held his breath and continued to observe by the moonlight.

Two people came out first, followed by three more people.

There were five people in total.

Just like Lu Jing's judgment.

They carried shovels, hoes, and picks... seemingly heading out to dig something.

Lu Jing breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they weren't pursuers.

However, we cannot let our guard down. The other party's intentions are still unknown, and there may be hidden dangers.

Lower your body and carefully place your feet.

While remaining silent, Lu Jing sped up as much as possible to keep up with the five people.

We walked up the ridge for about twenty minutes.

The five people in front suddenly stopped, panting heavily, and Lu Jing stopped as well.

What's going on?

Lu Jing suddenly became alert.

Did they discover that I was following them?

No, I was very careful the whole way, there was no way they could have found me.

As it turned out, Lu Jing was right.

The five people hadn't actually discovered him; rather, they seemed to have reached their destination and were carefully observing and identifying him.

"Is this the place?"

"Let me see, move aside, don't block the way."

The red-haired boy pushed the bald man aside, took out a tinderbox from his waist, unscrewed the lid, and gently blew on it a few times. The small orange flame flickered in the darkness.

Using its faint light, the red-haired young man looked around and gave an affirmative answer.

"This is it."

"Let's begin."

"Come."

Clang, clang.

Several people took their tools off their shoulders, spat into their palms, and started digging with a clanging sound.

Lu Jing remained still, hiding behind a large blue stone, observing secretly.
