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

Lu Jing pushed off the ground with both feet, using the momentum to quickly retreat.

Having just killed the man with gap-toothed teeth, he was nearly exhausted. If he were to fight the two men before him head-on, he would likely not be able to escape unscathed.

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle; if he can't win, he runs away.

"Don't let him escape! Cut off his escape route!"

"I'll go!"

The two jailers, who had turned against each other, saw Lu Jing approaching the exit steps and immediately coordinated, one chasing and the other blocking him.

This is bad; we're about to be attacked from both sides.

Lu Jing quickly turned to the side and leaned against the wall to avoid exposing his back.

"I've disliked you for a long time, you surnamed Lu."

"You're so young and you're already riding high on us. We'll send you to see the gap-toothed man."

call!call!

The blows of the sticks were whistling as the two jailers, one aiming at Lu Jing's head and the other at his groin, were heading straight for his life.

We'll give it our all.

Lu Jing raised his waist, lifted his foot, and then raised his stick to block the opponent's attack from both sides before attempting a counterattack.

Clang, clang.

Two muffled thuds.

Two deadly blows with a stick were blocked.

But it wasn't Lu Jing who blocked it; it was his four subordinates who had been standing behind him and hadn't kept silent.

Without time to think about anything else, Lu Jing seized the opportunity created by the four of them and immediately changed his tactics.

First, poke the left jailer in the neck with a short stick.

*Pfft*, it pierced through.

Then turn the stick around and stab it into the eye of the jailer on the right.

*Pfft*, it pierced through.

"ah!!"

"ah!!"

The two prison guards screamed and fell to the ground, rolling around in agony, blood gushing from their wounds, leaving red spots all over the ground.

After a few twitches, the two men's wild kicking gradually stopped. Their heads tilted to the side, their pupils staring blankly at the wall, and then they stopped.

"call."

Lu Jing let out a long breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then turned to look at his four subordinates who had helped him.

"Boss Lu, you don't need to thank me."

The leader of the henchmen shook his head: "If you hadn't taken us to brothels all the time, we wouldn't have bothered to save you."

"Yes, yes, Boss Lu, you've been good to us."

Beside him, three other subordinates echoed his sentiments.

"The money you extort from the families of criminals will always be shared with us."

"Just mention your name at a nearby tavern and you can get a free meal. You can even take some home with you after you've eaten your fill."

"Especially when you run a private gambling den and act as the bookmaker, you ask us to lend money and cheat for you, and you always give us generous rewards."

In a corner of the cell, a female prisoner muttered softly: "Scumbag."

"Yes, Boss Lu, you still..."

"Okay, okay, that's enough."

Lu Jing quickly stopped the other person from continuing.

Good heavens, the original owner was actually a wicked person who indulged in all sorts of vices, including drinking, gambling, whoring, and prostitution.

No wonder even after Wen Hexiang was rescued, not many female prisoners were willing to follow her.

"Boss Lu?"

"What for?"

Lu Jing noticed that his four subordinates looked at him with surprise, sizing him up and down.

Even though the four of them didn't say anything, Lu Jing could guess what was going on from their expressions.

The original owner was good-looking but physically weak, had no marital home, and had various bad habits.

How can someone so addicted to alcohol and women possess such formidable skills?

"Boss..."

Before the four could say anything more, Lu Jing raised his hand: "Stop! Just tell me if you want to come with me or not?"

With a wry smile, the four jailers shook their heads.

"Boss Lu, there's no way you can escape, there's absolutely no way you can escape."

"Wang Lu's army is different from others; they only carry a small amount of military rations. After conquering a city, these guys, besides burning, killing, and looting, will also..."

"Boss Lu, without a horse and with a bunch of women with you, how do you think you can escape?"

Lu Jing frowned: "I asked you if you wanted to, but you said you couldn't."

The four were speechless.

"never mind."

Lu Jing didn't want to waste any more words. He bowed to the four people with his hands clasped in thanks for their help, then turned and walked up the stone steps toward the exit.

Behind them, the two sisters, Wen Lanxiang and Wen Hexiang, followed with a limp.

In the corner, the female prisoners, seeing Lu Jing about to leave, immediately asked nervously, "Um, Warden Lu...?"

Lu Jing turned his head.

The female prisoners asked timidly, "Can we...leave too?"

"casual."

Lu Jing uttered two words, took a step, and disappeared around the corner of the stairs in an instant.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

"It's not walking, it's running!"

The women all stood up, like moths drawn to a light in the dead of night, and rushed toward the exit.

Outside the dungeon.

The sunlight was so bright that it was hard to open one's eyes.

The female prisoners stopped, closed their eyes, and looked up at the sky.

This was the first time they had enjoyed the sunlight since being locked in the dungeon.

Hoo-ha—Hoo-ha—Hoo-ha—

Everyone breathed heavily, letting the sunlight stream down from head to toe, feeling the heat rising from above.

After basking in the sun for a while, someone shouted, "Let's go! The rebels are coming!"

The female prisoners reluctantly withdrew their heads and hurriedly ran towards the stone gate of the county prison.

"Where do we go now?"

"I don't know, just follow along."

Dengdengdeng-

With hurried, unsteady steps, the women rushed out of the stone gate, heading towards the long-awaited world of freedom.

Unlike them, Lu Jing did not rush to escape. Instead, she slowed down and analyzed her next course of action.

The rebels are about to break into the city; staying inside will only make us lambs to the slaughter.

To survive, you must leave the city.

However, they had no knowledge of the mountains, rivers, and waterways outside the city. Even if they managed to get out, they would be completely in the dark, wandering around like headless flies.

The best approach is to first obtain a map of Anping County.

Only after understanding the location and surrounding terrain can the best escape route be determined.

Ok……

Lu Jing tapped his temples with his hand.

If you want to get your hands on a map, you have to go to the Jiage Treasury, where all kinds of official documents are stored.

Yes, that's what we'll do.

"Let's go." Lu Jing waved to the Wen Lanxiang sisters beside him, signaling them to follow.

"This is the place, Lord Lu Jing..."

"Hmm?" Lu Jing stopped and turned around, looking at Wen Lanxiang with a puzzled expression.

"I'm sorry, Lord Lu."

Wen Lanxiang bowed with her hands clasped in a gesture of respect. Her face no longer showed the panic and fear she had displayed when her sister suffered misfortune. At this moment, her expression was solemn and her tone was indifferent. Even when she spoke words of apology, there was no trace of remorse in her voice.

Lu Jing roughly guessed what he meant and tentatively asked, "You're not coming with me, right?"

"Yes," Wen Lanxiang nodded slightly, then shook her head, "but that's not right either."

The two contradictory statements made Lu Jing frown.

"You saved my sister, and I will never forget your kindness. I will do everything in my power to repay you. However, the enemy soldiers are about to enter the city, and the two of us alone are powerless to save them. It's just a pity that my sister is still so young and should not have to suffer this calamity..."

As she spoke, Wen Lanxiang's eyes softened, and she reached out to gently stroke Wen Hexiang's face.

"Therefore, I want to settle my younger sister first, and then I will come to meet you, sir, to repay your kindness."

Lu Jing asked, "How do you plan to settle them?"

"I have a distant relative in the city. I know there is a secret room in his house. I hid my sister there and escaped the rebels' search."

Lu Jing snorted: "Do you think this method can evade Wang Lu's army's search?"

"I don't know," Wen Lanxiang hugged her sister tightly, "but it's better than us wandering aimlessly through the city."

Lu Jing calmly said, "If that's the case, you didn't need to say you were coming with me in the dungeon earlier."

"I was afraid that no one would follow you, sir, which would be awkward and make you lose face."

"Hehe, you're a really nice person. I should thank you!"

"No need to thank me, my lord, it's all what this humble concubine should do," Wen Lanxiang said earnestly.

"..."

Lu Jing was speechless. Who the hell is being polite to you? Can't you tell if someone is being nice or not?

"You may leave."

"Thank you, sir. I've settled my sister in. Where shall we meet up?"

Lu Jing waved his hand: "It's up to fate. Who knows if we'll even be able to reunite?"

"Then goodbye, Lord Lu," Wen Lanxiang said, bowing with her hands clasped. "May this goodness endure for a thousand years."

"Um."

Lu Jing casually replied, but his attention was drawn to the open door of Zhengcang, and he walked over.

After expressing her gratitude, Wen Lanxiang led her younger sister away.

The main warehouse was used to store various supplies for the county government, and it was always guarded by armored soldiers.

Now, the doors are wide open, but there's not a soul in sight.

The surrounding area was a mess.

Tables, stools, cloth bundles, military boots... were scattered everywhere.

creak-

Lu Jing used his arm strength to open the door wider.

Sunlight streamed in from outside, illuminating the interior. Lu Jing stepped inside.

The main granary originally stored grain, weapons, officials' salaries, local taxes and rents...

Right now, there's not a drop of salary or grain left, which is obvious because the county officials who fled took it all away. All that's left are some kinds of weapons, armor, felt hats, and the like.

Lu Jing might be among them, searching for items that could be useful.

Upon reaching the armory, he discovered a horn bow made of tung wood and a bag of feathered arrows.

Walk over, pick it up, and hold it in your hand.

The weight and size are just right.

Wanting to test his archery skills, Lu Jing's attendant Hu Lu took an arrow from his bag and nocked it on his bow.

Step out of the courtyard.

He aimed at the fish-shaped owl tail on the roof of the side room.

Visually, it is about 500 feet away, or about 150 meters.

Lu Jing held his breath and concentrated.

Pull it all out, loosen it.

Whoosh.

Bang! Crash...

The arrow struck the owl's tail squarely, embedding itself deeply and shaking off a shower of pebbles and wood chips.

Okay.

Lu Jing was relieved; his abilities were still intact.

In his previous life, Lu Jing was able to become the chief instructor of the Southern Sword Special Forces at a young age. In addition to his own efforts, he also had a little-known ability.

As long as he concentrates his mind, his vision will shift and change.

All data, including airflow trajectory, wind direction and speed, distance reference, and humidity level, will be clearly displayed in front of Lu Jing.

This special ability allows him to hit the bullseye every time, whether using a bow, crossbow, sniper rifle, or any other shooting device.

The soldiers were impressed by his accurate sniping skills and gave him the nickname: Yama's Roll Call.

After putting away his bow and arrows and his flask, Lu Jing took a set of lamellar armor from the shelf and put it on, then took a felt hat and found a clean gourd to keep for water.

With everything ready, Lu Jing, carrying a bow and arrows on his back, a sachet of glutinous rice, a gourd at his waist, and a sword he had found in his hand, strode out of the main storehouse and headed towards the storehouse, guided by the original owner's memories.

Just as I reached the wall, a commotion came from outside the courtyard.

Lu Jing immediately stopped and listened carefully.

Footsteps, panting, the clanging of metal, and most chillingly, weeping.

Clang.

Drawing his sword, Lu Jing quickly hid behind a hitching post, revealing his profile as he looked towards the stone gate.

Before long, the female prisoner who had escaped returned, her face filled with terror.

"Run! Run!"

"Wait for me!"

What's going on? Why did they all come back?

As Lu Jing was wondering what was going on, his ears suddenly twitched.

He heard a whooshing sound as if something was cutting through the air.

When they looked up again, three arrows shot out from outside the door, hitting the female prisoner running behind them.

Lu Jing's eyes narrowed instantly.

Enemy situation?!
