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

"You could smell it?"

At the entrance to the mountain, the subordinates looked suspicious upon hearing Lin He's words, and then sniffed hard.

Hiss--

The subordinate scratched his head: "Boss Lin, I can't smell anything?!"

"Go to hell," Lin He slapped his subordinate on the head, "You said you'd smell it, and you actually did."

Touching his head, his subordinate dared not speak. Lin He raised his head and said, "I'm talking about feelings, understand? Feelings!"

His subordinate gave an awkward smile and shook his head.

"never mind."

Lin He rolled his eyes in disgust: "I can't explain this to you idiots. In short, there are definitely people on this mountain. Find them for me!"

"The one who finds it first will be promoted to corporal."

Lin He sneered and added, "Not only will you be promoted, but you can also share the women from those raids with them. You'll be eating them..."

At this point, Lin He paused deliberately, weaving his thumb back and forth between his index and middle fingers: "Fuck it, it's up to you to decide."

"yes!"

"Lord Sherin!"

The bandits' eyes lit up, and they were all eager to fight, with some even shouting excitedly.

"Shut up!"

Lin He slapped the shouting soldier across the face again.

"Did you eat chicken poop? All that commotion is making. If you alert them and they escape, I'll kill you first. Get out of here!"

The bandits dared not utter a word and immediately set off to search the dense forest.

"Found it."

Meanwhile, Lu Jing led the female prisoners to the back of Eagle's Beak Peak, where they found the cave they had discovered earlier.

"First, move the rain stones over, then gather some wormwood."

Lu Jing directed the female prisoners to cover and hide the rocky opening.

Just as it was nearing its end, everyone suddenly heard Liu Zhezhi whisper:

"Lord Lu, and all of you, come and see!"

Upon hearing the sound, Lu Jing and the others immediately put down what they were doing and looked in the direction Liu Zhezhi was pointing.

In the distance, at the foot of the mountain, lies an unnamed temple.

A group of bandits in leather armor, leading their horses, stormed in.

They loosened the reins, picked up their knives, and searched the temple in pairs, even looking into the wells.

"Luckily, we evacuated in advance."

Liu Zhezhi said with relief, "We arrived one after the other. If we had been any later, we would have run into these damned bandits one by one."

"Yeah yeah."

The women all nodded in agreement. Qin Liniang looked at Lu Jing with pride and then said to everyone, "Thanks to Lord Lu's foresight, otherwise we would have been in big trouble."

"Yes, yes!"

The female prisoners looked at Lu Jing and expressed their gratitude to him together.

"Thank you, Lord Lu!"

Lu Jing frowned and waved his hand: "Alright, why are you saying all this? We're all one team. Do you think I'd abandon you all?"

"Hehe, that's true."

The women laughed.

"Alright, stay hidden."

Lu Jing clapped his hands and said to the women, "Standing here and looking is too conspicuous; if the bandits see us again!"

"yes!"

The female prisoners responded immediately, scattering to continue the work they hadn't finished.

Lu Jing beckoned Wen Lanxiang over.

"Lord Lu."

With her usual cold expression, Wen Lanxiang walked over and bowed to Lu Jing first.

"Have you hidden everything you looted from the raid?"

"Don't worry, Lord Lu," Wen Lanxiang nodded, "They're all in the cellar, and there are also stones and miscellaneous items piled up at the base of the wall, so the enemy won't be able to find them."

"That's good, go ahead and get busy."

"Yes, Lord Lu."

After Wen Lanxiang left, Lu Jing summoned Qi Xiaomei and asked her, "How's Chang Qingzhou?"

"She's fine," Qi Xiaomei said with a smile. "I had Ye Qingqing carry her on her back, so she doesn't have to walk."

"Um……"

Just as Lu Jing was about to say something, Qi Xiaomei, as if on cue, immediately added, "Don't worry, Lord Lu, I told Ye Qingqing and the other sisters that Chang Qingzhou is one of the sisters who got separated from us before, and she finally managed to find us."

"Besides, I used Anshuisan (a sleeping pill), and Chang Qingzhou has been sleeping the whole time, so she won't talk nonsense."

"good!"

Lu Jing praised, "You've done a great job. I'll remember this as a major achievement, and you'll be rewarded accordingly later."

"No need, Lord Lu!"

Qi Xiaomei blushed and said, "It was just a small thing I did casually, it's not worth rewarding at all."

Lu Jing was too thin, so she told her to stop saying it: "Don't always feel like you're not good enough, you are."

Qi Xiaomei blushed even more, nodded, looked down at her feet, said nothing more, bowed, and left.

After everyone entered the cave, Lu Jing instructed Wen Lanxiang to take good care of everyone before leaving the cave.

"grown ups!"

Qin Liniang quickly asked, "Where are you going?"

"Know yourself and know your enemy. I'm going to follow those bandit soldiers and see if I can gather any useful intelligence."

Upon hearing this, all the women volunteered:

"My lord, I want to go with you."

"I'll go too; it's too dangerous for you to go alone."

"Yes, adults, let's go together, so we can look out for each other."

Lu Jing frowned: "Alright, stop arguing. I'll go by myself. Too many people will only make us more likely to be spotted!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and walked out of the cave without looking back.

Inside the cave, the female prisoners looked worriedly at Lu Jing's retreating figure as he disappeared into the bushes.

Inside an unnamed temple.

The bandits gathered in the square, forming a circle around Lin He.

"Boss Lin, we've searched everywhere, but we haven't found anything."

"There's no one, no food, just a pile of junk."

"Let's go look around somewhere else."

Lin He remained silent, carefully observing every blade of grass and tree around him.

Everything seemed normal, but he just felt an inexplicable sense of human presence.

"Have you searched thoroughly?"

With his arms crossed in front of him, Lin He kicked the blue bricks under his feet hard. His men immediately replied, "Search thoroughly, Boss Lin. We've checked the well, there's nothing there."

"Um."

Lin He stared coldly at the stone beasts on the roof ridge, then turned and walked towards the backyard.

After about the time it takes to smoke a pipe, he returned and said to his men, "Let's go, that's enough."

"Yes, Chief Lin, we'll head deeper into the mountains right away..."

"No need to look anymore, they've hidden themselves."

"Huh?" the men asked, puzzled.

"Those who raided the camp must be living in this temple. They anticipated that we would come to search the mountain, so they hid well. No matter how hard we search, it will be in vain."

"What should we do then, sir?" the men asked, puzzled.

"Those raiders are most likely watching us from the shadows," Lin He said in a low voice. "Let's leave first, then come back under cover of darkness to catch them off guard!"

Upon hearing this, his subordinates beamed with excitement: "Brilliant plan! Brilliant plan!"

"But sir, how can you be so sure they will stay here?"

Lin He sneered, "Did you even find a restroom?"

"The outhouse?" The men were taken aback. "We looked, but no one was there."

"idiot!"

Rolling his eyes in disgust, Lin He said, "If no one has lived here for a long time, the outhouse would have dried up long ago. So why is there still fresh shit in it?"
