At the city gate, under the watchful eyes of the masses.

Riding a black horse, Fang Shengtian led his men, whipping their horses as they galloped toward Lu Jing and the others.

The people glanced at the horse team, then at the female prisoners under the shade of the trees, and then pointed at Lu Jing and the others, discussing among themselves.

"Commander Fang was shouting at these people under the shade of the tree."

"Under the shade of the trees, oh, oh, there are some merchants."

"That's strange. Look how enthusiastically Captain Fang is greeting them. When have we ever seen him so familiar with merchants?"

"Really a businessman? He doesn't seem like one."

"Let's go, let's go, let's go take a look."

Pedestrians put down what they were doing and moved toward Lu Jing and his group.

Hundreds of eyes were fixed on them.

Lu Jing and his group all sighed in exasperation, rubbing their foreheads and pulling their hoods down low.

"Lord Lu..."

Ji Tangtang secretly looked up: "What do we do now?"

"What else can we do?" Lu Jing covered his face. "Don't speak, just keep your head down."

Brother Lu! Brother Lu!

Da da da da da da——

The sound of hooves echoed Fang Shengtian's shouts as the black horse galloped forward.

As Fang Shengtian charged toward Lu Jing, he reined in his horse. The black horse neighed and raised its two front hooves.

Boom!

Without saying a word, Fang Shengtian jumped off his horse, threw the reins to his subordinate Sun Rendi behind him, and then strode towards Lu Jing.

"Brother Lu, you've finally arrived!!"

Fang Shengtian grabbed Lu Jing's hand and shook it violently, while also patting his shoulder.

"Brother Lu, Brother Lu, you've really kept me waiting."

clap clap-

Feeling the heavy force in the other person's hand, Lu Jingtou tapped his head repeatedly.

"Hey, Brother Lu?"

Fang Shengtian looked at her, then turned to look at the female prisoners, and asked in bewilderment, "Masters, why are you all dressed up like this? Why are you all covering your faces?"

Now that things have come to this, there's no need to keep a low profile anymore.

"Take it off."

After Lu Jing finished speaking to the female prisoners, he took off his hood and smiled at Fang Shengtian: "It's hot, so we wear this to shield ourselves from the sun."

"Oh, I see!" Fang Shengtian laughed.

shhhhh--

Wen Lanxiang and the others had no choice but to take off their hoods as well.

When everyone revealed their true faces, the surrounding people rushed forward, crowding around even more tightly, making it impossible to see them.

"woman?"

"Are they all women?"

"Good heavens, and they're all beautiful old women!"

"This caravan is really interesting; it's full of beautiful women."

The crowd surged forward in waves, eager to get a closer look at the female prisoners.

This scene reminded Lu Jing of some celebrities in his previous life who would encounter fans waiting for them at the airport after getting off the plane.

They are exactly the same.

I wanted to keep a low profile, but now I'm really being as high-profile as I could possibly be.

Brother Fang.

Lu Jing grabbed Fang Shengtian's arm: "Now that we've been picked up, let's get to the military camp without delay."

"Hey, Brother Lu, no rush!"

Fang Shengtian grabbed Lu Jing's hand and pulled him up, saying, "Come, come, Brother Lu, look, all you nuns, come on over."

As he spoke, Fang Shengtian enthusiastically pulled Lu Jing along, beckoned the female prisoners, and led them to the front of the acrobatic troupe, proudly introducing them:

"To welcome you all, I specially found the best troupe in all of Dangning. What do you think? Not bad, right?"

Lu Jing's lips twitched, but he forced a smile and nodded, saying, "Not bad, not bad."

"Come on!" Fang Shengtian pointed at the juggling performer: "Give my brother Lu a good act!"

"Alright, Lord Fang!"

"No, no need," Lu Jing quickly stopped her.

But it was too late.

ka ka ka-

The juggler did more than thirty somersaults in one go.

"Brother Lu, is it good?" Fang Shengtian was overjoyed.

"Okay, can we go now?" Lu Jing asked, both amused and exasperated.

"What's the rush, Brother Lu? There's something even better. Show us something you're good at!"

"No, really, there's no need!" Lu Jing was about to explode.

ka ka ka-

Another acrobat jumped across forty or fifty iron thresholds.

"Brother Lu, isn't he amazing?"

"Wow, amazing!"

"There's something even more powerful, come on..."

"Alright!" Lu Jing said, both amused and exasperated. "Brother Fang, that's really enough. We're done watching the acrobatics; we want to get to the camp with you right away, right?"

As Lu Jing spoke, he looked back, and the female prisoners behind him quickly nodded.

Ye Qingqing: "Yes, yes, we can't wait."

Wen Lanxiang: "Let's hurry up and go, military affairs are more important."

Mu Jiangli: "Exactly! Give us our wages first. We don't need to watch any of the acrobatics."

The women all said they wanted to leave, and Fang Shengtian then stopped the acrobatic troupe and gestured to Lu Jing and the others.

"please!"

"please."

Lu Jing let out a silent sigh.

Finally, this awkward situation is over, and I can quickly leave and breathe a sigh of relief.

But after taking only two steps, Fang Shengtian suddenly stopped, turned around, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, and called out to the onlookers, "Dear friends and relatives!"

My brother!

Lu Jing sighed, rubbing his forehead.

What kind of trick are you going to pull this time?

After bowing to the onlookers, Fang Shengtian pointed at Lu Jing and the others and shouted, "Today, we are honored that these virtuous monks have chosen to join our Flying Cavalry Camp, making our camp even stronger."

Wow, there's even a live speech...

Lu Jing could only wave to the crowd, offering a polite yet awkward smile.

The other female prisoners also waved in his manner.

Ji Tangtang grinned with a bitter expression: "I wanted to keep a low profile, but Fang Shengtian is just too noisy."

"Alas," Liu Zhezhi sighed, "Now look what's happened. Everyone knows about it. We've become famous in Dangning even before we've entered the city."

"It's not all bad," Mu Jiangli said, waving her hand.

The women quickly asked her, "What did you mean?"

Mu Jiangli explained, "Now all the people in Dangning City know that we are from the Flying Cavalry Camp. When we go shopping or eat out, we can use that name to get them to give us a discount or pay more."

"Tch!" The women rolled their eyes. "Mu Jiangli, you're really obsessed with money!"

While the women were whispering amongst themselves, Fang Shengtian spoke passionately: "Fellow villagers, I hope that you eminent monks will continue to look after me. I thank you in advance."

Then, he changed the subject: "Of course, if you don't give the high monks face, you're also not giving me face."

Upon hearing this, the onlookers quickly waved their hands and repeatedly said, "No, no!"

Meanwhile, the county residents were puzzled and discussing among themselves.

"Are these women all monks?"

"Didn't you hear what Lord Fang said? Yes, that's right."

"Good heavens, this is the first time I've ever seen a nun join the army."

"Yes, yes, but nuns can't carry heavy loads, how can they join the army?"

"What is Captain Fang up to?"

The people were buzzing with discussion and speculation, their eyes fixed on Lu Jing and his group.

Meanwhile, in the crowd, there were seven or eight middle-aged men wearing robes and carrying swords at their waists, staring at Lu Jing and his group with hostile eyes.

"Go check it out."

The middle-aged man at the head of the group pointed at Lu Jing and said to his men, "Take a look at that kid and these nuns, see where they come from."
