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

"Eating out?!"

Mu Jiangli was the first to ask, "Sir, do you mean we should go to a restaurant, order food and wine?"

Or perhaps...

Ji Tangtang glanced at Lu Jing warily, "Sir, what new training program have you arranged? Are you just teasing us?"

Ok?

Upon hearing this, the other female prisoners also became wary.

Everyone looked at Lu Jing, their faces no longer showing the excitement they had when they first heard "going out to eat".

Lu Jing sighed, "Do I have no credibility whatsoever in your eyes?"

The women exchanged glances, then stared at Lu Jing, and shook their heads in unison: "No."

Lu Jing shrugged: "Alright, when we get to the post station ahead, I'll go to the restaurant myself. Don't follow me."

"There really is a restaurant?!" The female prisoners quickly reined in their horses and looked at Lu Jing expectantly.

Pointing to a dot on the map, Lu Jing said, "There's a post village ahead. Coal miners from the mountains often stop there to rest. There are restaurants and dry cleaners there."

"We haven't been eating properly these days, let's go over and grab something to eat."

Great.

The female prisoners were excited, but Wen Lanxiang asked coldly:

"Sir, there are restaurants, but we have no money."

Ah!

The excited light in the women's eyes dimmed instantly.

"Yes, we don't have any money."

Jiang Duyue, who was riding on the same horse as Ye Qingqing, sighed and said, "We can't buy anything to eat even if we go to the restaurant. If we want to eat, we can only beg the shopkeepers to be kind and give us some."

"You make it sound so pitiful..." Mu Jiangli muttered, "but you're not entirely wrong."

Upon hearing this, the women all sighed.

"Alright."

Lu Jing smiled, then patted the suede bag around his waist: "I have money. I took it from the Anping County government's granary."

"Lord Lu!"

The women exclaimed in delight, "You really have foresight!"

"Alright, stop yelling."

Lu Jing said seriously, "Although we have left Baixi Mountain, we are not completely away from danger. The enemy could catch up at any time. Let's hurry on our way."

"Yes!" The female prisoners suppressed their smiles, whipped their horses, and focused on their journey.

Traveling south, Lu Jing led the female prisoners for two hours.

"arrive."

Lu Jing sat on horseback, looking at the map.

"We've arrived?" The women immediately perked up, quickly spurring their horses and keeping up with Lu Jing.

Ahead, we've passed the hillside.

The group saw the archway of the post station, behind which was a group of wooden buildings. The foot of the road in the middle was not yet paved with bluestone bricks, but only with some gravel scattered on it.

As you can see, this village is not large, and the residents are all ordinary families; otherwise, why wouldn't there be a single brick house?

"grown ups."

Walking through the village, Wen Lanxiang rode her horse to Lu Jing, bowed, and said, "We are both criminals; isn't it too conspicuous of us to eat at the village's restaurants?"

I understand your concerns.

Lu Jing looked at her and said, "But people can't always be tense. They need to relax occasionally to be in better condition. As a general, you have to take care of your subordinates' physical health as well as their mental health."

Wen Lanxiang listened with a mixture of understanding and confusion.

You'll understand later.

Lu Jing smiled and urged everyone to hurry up.

After crossing another street, Lu Jing and the others arrived at an open space with a dozen tables and benches. Behind it was a small courtyard surrounded by a fence, with a towering pillar at the entrance and a sign with the word "food" hanging on it.

"We're here!"

The female prisoners were thrilled and dismounted one by one, following behind Lu Jing.

"How many of you are there, sirs...?"

The shopkeepers and servants who came out to greet them were stunned when they saw Lu Jing and his group.

Their astonishment wasn't due to the large number of people; sometimes even more coal miners would come from the mountains, and there weren't enough tables and chairs, so they had to squat on the ground.

To their astonishment, all the people who came were women.

"That's all the people."

After Lu Jing finished speaking with the shopkeeper, he waved his hand, signaling the female prisoners to sit down first.

"Oh, please have a seat."

The shopkeeper immediately told the waiter to boil more water, then walked up to Lu Jing, but his eyes never left the female prisoners.

Snapped!

Lu Jing snapped his fingers: "Watch me."

"Oh, oh," the shopkeeper quickly smiled and said, "What would you like to eat, sir? We have steamed buns, flatbreads, roasted mutton, roasted chicken, and wines like Sanlejiang and Longgao wine."

"Okay, then we need to..."

"Boss, they're all old women!"

A shout interrupted Lu Jing, who looked in the direction of the sound, and the female prisoners looked over as well.

A dozen or so soldiers stood on horseback.

Each of them wore a black turban, with a reddish-brown headband tied in front and two strips hanging down behind their heads.

They were all dressed in tight-sleeved ochre-yellow short brown clothes, with dark brown leather armor over them.

The armor plates were woven together with hemp rope, and round iron plates were nailed to the front and back.

A leather belt three fingers wide was tied around his waist, a horizontal sword hung on his left side, and a quiver hung on his right side, the white feathers of the arrows trembling slightly in the wind.

Lu Jing then looked at their lower bodies.

She wore dark brown trousers and her calves were tightly wrapped in white cloth.

A water bag, a food bag, and a small bronze gong were also tied to the saddle.

This outfit clearly identifies them as regular soldiers from the Great Wilderness.

"not good."

Ye Qingqing instinctively grabbed the hammer handle, but was stopped by Lu Jing next to her.

At the same time, he gestured to the other female prisoners with his eyes, telling them not to make any rash moves.

"Don't panic."

Lu Jing whispered to the others, "It's the Great Wilderness Army, not Wang Lu's bandits. Besides, they probably don't know our identities. Let's not act rashly."

The women nodded, then frowned and looked at the Great Wilderness Army.

"you."

The bearded soldier riding a chestnut horse dismounted, pointed his whip at Lu Jing, and then at the female prisoners: "What's your background?"

"What business is it of yours where we came from?"

Mu Jiangli stood up with her hands on her hips, her eyes practically rolling to the top of her head.

"You old hag, stop making a racket here!"

The bearded soldier threw down the reins and stepped forward, followed by other soldiers who dismounted.

But a young man on the black horse in the middle remained seated, watching the spectacle with great interest.

It seems this kid is the leader of this group.

Lu Jing remained outwardly calm, but secretly drew an arrow and placed it next to his bow.

"Why are the government troops bullying people?"

"Do you think we're afraid of you?"

Faced with the "aggressive" government troops, the female prisoners did not dare to show weakness. They slammed their fists on the table, stood up, and rushed forward.

The two sides faced each other across a table.

The bearded soldier glanced at the female prisoners and sneered, "Judging by your attire, you're not exactly good people."

Mu Jiangli retorted, scoffing, "Yeah, you're all eager to fight Wang Lu. What are you doing here?"

"You old hag!"

The bearded soldier choked, his face turning red. Holding his riding whip, he pointed at Mu Jiangli and said, "I don't care where you lunatics come from, get out of here right now, let's eat."

"cut."

Ji Tangtang sneered and chimed in from the side, "We won't let you, so what are you going to do about it?"
