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

Inside the west wing, the female prisoners looked at Lu Jing's face, illuminated by the moonlight.

His expression was serious, without any playful or mischievous smile.

"Sir, why did you burn down the military supply depot?"

Wen Lanxiang frowned, her usually expressionless face finally showing some emotion; "If we burn it, won't we be exposed?"

"That's right!"

Mu Jiangli interjected, "It's not even dawn yet. Once the fire starts, it can be seen from miles away. Are you worried that the enemy won't know where we are?"

The two spoke for everyone, and the women quickly echoed their sentiments.

"Yes, Lord Lu, why burn it when it's perfectly fine?"

"So you're thinking of burning what you can't take, and leaving nothing for the rebels?"

Alright!

A sharp shout came from the crowd, and all the women turned around to see Jiang Duyue pushing through the crowd and walking forward.

"Make way for me, you're too fat, you take up the space of two people."

Jiang Duyue tilted her head: "You've all misunderstood Lord Lu Jing. I know why he burned down the military supply depot."

Oh?

Lu Jing raised an eyebrow and smiled, crossing his arms and asking with considerable interest, "Tell me, why?"

"To vent the anger of my sisters."

Tilting her head towards Lu Jing's direction, Jiang Duyue held up a finger: "There's only one reason. Lord Lu knows we hate the rebel soldiers, so he used the burning method to condemn their crimes. Lord Lu..."

"Why."

Did I say anything wrong?

"You didn't get any of it right..." Lu Jing sighed, "The reason I burned down the military supply depot was because I wanted to..."

Halfway through her sentence, Wen Lanxiang raised her hand: "My lord, do you intend to set fire to create chaos? This place is only a stone's throw from Ying'en Gate. When the fire starts, the guards at Ying'en Gate will rush to investigate. Then you can lead us to escape in the chaos?"

"Why!"

Lu Jing sighed, pointed at Wen Lanxiang, and turned to Jiang Duyue: "Look at her!"

Jiang Duyue: "..."

"That's right!"

Lu Jing raised his hand to pat Wen Lanxiang's shoulder, but the latter instinctively dodged. Lu Jing could only change his gesture and pointed at Wen Lanxiang, saying to the women, "Wen Lanxiang has spoken my mind. She is quick-witted. I hereby appoint her as the deputy captain of the special forces brigade."

"She was in charge when I wasn't there, did you hear that?"

The women were still stunned, staring at Wen Lanxiang in astonishment.

Lu Jing raised his voice and repeated, "Did you all hear that?"

"I heard it! I heard it!"

The women snapped out of their daze and immediately responded, while also offering their congratulations to Wen Lanxiang.

Congratulations, Lanxiang.

"Congratulations," Qin Liniang said, but her eyes were full of envy and disappointment.

"From now on, you're our second-in-command," Ji Tangtang said, raising an eyebrow. "Second-in-command!"

Wen Lanxiang shook her head and pointed at Lu Jing: "We only have one leader, Lord Lu."

Upon hearing this, the women quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, only Lord Lu."

"Alright, enough talk, hurry up and check if everything is packed!"

At Lu Jing's command, the women dared not delay and immediately loaded boxes of goods onto the carriage.

Fortunately, the stable had eight or nine good horses and two carriages, enough to carry everything and people.

Everything was loaded onto the wagon, and then driven out onto the street with the horses, hidden behind the ruins in the shadows.

Lu Jing originally thought they were all pampered young ladies who wouldn't know how to handle horses and livestock.

To his surprise, everyone except the three who couldn't ride a horse could.

"You're quite the hidden talent," Lu Jing said with delight, watching the women leading the horses. "I never imagined that you pampered young ladies, who never lift a finger, could handle livestock."

"Sir, we usually play polo at home."

Oh!

Lu Jing suddenly realized.

"I see. Playing polo naturally leads to horseback riding. I must say, the sports of noble ladies are quite unique."

After instructing the female prisoners to control the horses, Lu Jing, along with Ye Qingqing, Wen Lanxiang, Qin Liniang, and Ji Tangtang, poured buckets of tung oil throughout the military supplies warehouse compound.

They even went to the outhouse.

call--

Lu Jing and his four companions lowered torches and ignited the tung oil.

boom--

The flames followed the trail of tung oil, forming five lines that flew in all directions of the courtyard.

Bang!

A massive amount of tung oil was ignited.

With almost no time to prepare, the military supply depot, once an inconspicuous collection of thousands of buildings in the darkness, instantly transformed into a sea of ​​orange-red flames.

"Go, hurry up!"

Lu Jing held up the burlap sack he had torn into pieces beforehand and covered his mouth and nose: "Don't let the fumes knock you out, get out of here quickly."

"yes!"

Ji Tangtang and the other three quickly took out burlap to cover themselves and rushed out with Lu Jing.

"Don't make a sound."

Lu Jing rejoined the others who had taken cover: "Don't rush, wait until everyone is hidden before running, Mu Jiangli!"

"what?"

Hearing the shouts, Mu Jiangli, who was chewing on a sesame seed cake, quickly came over: "Go to Ying'en Gate now. As soon as the guards leave, come back and report immediately."

"Yes." Mu Jiangli quickly stuffed the pancake into her mouth and rushed out in a hurry.

After instructing Mu Jiangli, Lu Jing turned to the other female prisoners: "We're about to break through. Control your horses, help each other, and if anyone has any ideas, speak up now. We won't have time to think about anything once we're charging."

The women looked at each other, then shook their heads at Lu Jing to indicate that they didn't.

"it is good."

Lu Jing turned back and continued to stare at the street corner. Behind him, Qin Liniang said to Ji Tangtang, "Lord Lu's 'military democracy' is truly excellent."

"That's true," Ji Tangtang nodded. "You can speak freely about your ideas on combat."

"That's right," Qin Liniang said admiringly, looking at Lu Jing's back. "And the final decision rests with Lord Lu. With him weighing the options, there won't be any mistakes."

"Yes, that's nice."

Hearing Qin Liniang and the others discussing behind him, Lu Jing smiled and thought to himself: This is a fine tradition of our People's Army. Gathering ideas from all sides and then having the commander make the final decision can fully mobilize the enthusiasm of every soldier. Of course, it's good.

Before long, Lu Jing and his men heard a series of urgent mooing sounds from cattle, followed by the sound of gongs and shouts from patrolling bandits.

"It's burned!"

"Come quick, the fire's raging!"

Fire?

Lu Jing muttered something under his breath, and Wen Lanxiang explained, "Huilu is a combined name for the fire gods 'Wu Hui' and 'Lu Zhong' in ancient mythology. Therefore, 'Huilu disaster' is used to refer to fire disasters."

"Oh, I understand."

Lu Jing nodded, while Qin Liniang muttered beside him, "I know that, Lord Lu, but Wen Lanxiang always answers first."

"Shh, keep your voice down." Lu Jing pointed ahead, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

Dengdengdengdeng-

Waves of bandits rushed in from all directions, some of them naked, without even a coat on.

Some of them carried buckets, while others used ladles or broke banana leaves to use as water buckets, and they all rushed over to put out the fire.

"They didn't panic or get flustered even when the fire started. These bastards are well-trained."

Lu Jing sighed, and Mu Jiangli rushed back, breathless.

"Lord Lu," she said, supporting herself on her knees, "the guards at Ying'en Gate..."

"They all came to help put out the fire, right?" Lu Jing said, speaking up for her.

Yes, yes.

"Then let's hurry up and go!"

Lu Jing urged him on, then mounted his horse, pulled on the reins, and made the horse move.

Other female prisoners also boarded the vehicles or mounted their horses, and amidst the noisy and chaotic footsteps and shouts, they raced quickly along the prison wall.

They were about to reach Ying'en Gate.

"Who are you people?!"

"How come I've never seen you before?"

A squad of armored night patrol soldiers, armed with long halberds, suddenly appeared from the east.

"Stop!"

They held long halberds horizontally, with two soldiers blocking the way in front and four soldiers on each side, blocking the road.

Seeing that they were about to collide, Lu Jing decisively reined in his horse.

"Dry!"

As Lu Jing dismounted, he drew his sword.

"If they dare to block our way, kill them."

The other female prisoners also dismounted to fight.

The soldiers with halberds were taken aback when they saw that all the people rushing towards them had long hair.

"A woman?!"

They then noticed the various weapons the female prisoner was holding.

"A woman who can use a knife?"

"They...they still dare to charge at us?"

"Is this... going to war with us?"

The soldiers holding halberds could not believe their eyes and exclaimed in horror.

Is this city haunted?
