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

"yes!"

One of his men bowed and accepted the order, then roughly pushed aside the onlookers and walked away.

Some villagers were about to lose their temper when they saw the winged tiger pattern on the scabbard of the other man's sword. They immediately shut their mouths, lowered their heads and hands, and quickly made way for him.

"damn it."

The villagers looked at the middle-aged men carrying knives in the crowd and spat at them from a distance.

"Why are the Flying Tigers here too?"

"How could they not come? They and the Flying Cavalry are mortal enemies."

The onlookers whispered among themselves, huddling together.

"When has there ever been a peaceful day for those battalions of the Longxing Garrison? They look down on each other and are constantly causing trouble for one another."

"Why?"

"Why? Don't you even know if you're a local or from out of town?"

The villager who was speaking glanced at the six or seven middle-aged men from the Flying Tigers battalion, and after confirming that they couldn't hear him, lowered his voice and said:

"Because the military pay from above is insufficient."

"Huh?" The person next to me stared wide-eyed.

The villager who said this cupped his hands towards the upper right and said, "The government's military pay is enough, but these people below have to increase revenue and cut expenses, right? If you cut expenses and I cut expenses, by the time it reaches the hands of the Longxing Garrison, there won't be much money left."

He counted on his fingers: "Flying Cavalry Battalion, Flying Tiger Battalion, Flying Falcon Battalion, Flying Armor Battalion, Flying Sea Battalion, Flying Python Battalion, six battalions, more than a thousand mouths, it's impossible to feed them all."

"So the county government started a crooked scheme to select the best soldiers and give them more pay. Whichever battalion performed well would get more pay."

"Yay!" exclaimed a villager who had been listening intently. "How could they come up with such a stupid idea? These six battalions are going to wreak havoc!"

"Keep your voice down!" The villager who had spoken gestured for silence. "Are you out of your mind?!"

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

"Just you wait and see..."

The villager who was speaking looked at Lu Jing and said with great certainty, "These people that the Flying Cavalry Camp found don't look friendly."

After saying that, he turned to look at the Flying Tigers members mixed in with the crowd: "The Flying Tigers will definitely not let this go, and they might be up to something again."

"So what?" His companion waved his hand. "It has nothing to do with us common folk. I heard that Wang Lu has taken over Anping County again. Who knows when he will come to attack us? We won't live long either."

"Alright, alright, stop saying discouraging things. Let's hurry up and get going. We haven't finished the work in the fields yet."

The villagers shook their heads and left.

In the distance, Lu Jing and the others, led by Fang Shengtian, mounted their horses, entered the city, and headed towards the Flying Cavalry Camp's encampment.

"Finally, I can leave!"

Qin Liniang took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, first handing it to Lu Jing to wipe his sweat, then taking it to wipe herself, saying as she wiped, "It's so embarrassing, so many people are watching, and we're just standing there like monkeys."

"That's right!"

Ji Tangtang somehow got hold of two locust leaves and stuck them on either side of his nose to absorb the oil: "I originally wanted to enter the city discreetly, but there was no way. Now look what's happened, the whole city is in an uproar."

"That's right, that's right," the other female prisoners chimed in.

"Alright, stop arguing."

Lu Jing said, "Hurry up and catch up, wait..."

He carefully checked: "Where did the wood ginger pear go?"

"A pear tree?!" Wen Lanxiang exclaimed in surprise. "It was just here a moment ago, where did it go?"

"Here it comes, here it comes!"

Lu Jing and the others turned around at the sound and saw Mu Jiangli riding up from behind, holding a paper package in her hand and a white thing in her mouth.

"What's the rush?"

Mu Jiangli reined in her horse and handed the paper package to Lu Jing, while simultaneously biting down on something in her mouth.

click-

Lu Jing and the others realized that she had just bitten into a piece of peanut nougat.

I opened the paper package in my hand, and inside was also nougat.

Lu Jing asked, "Where did you come from?"

"I bought it." Mu Jiangli crunched the candy, chewing it with a satisfying crunch.

"Will you have money?" Lu Jing wondered.

"Hehe," Mu Jiangli smiled mysteriously, "I told the candy vendor that I was from the Flying Tigers, and he just gave it to me without spending a penny."

"You!" Qin Liniang poked her forehead, and the other female prisoners next to her laughed.

Mu Jiangli laughed along, but as she laughed, she suddenly felt a chill all over her body, and the other female prisoners next to her also stopped laughing.

Sensing something amiss, she looked around and saw that Lu Jing had a dark face and was radiating a terrifying and oppressive aura.

"Lord Lu," Mu Jiangli shrank back, quickly extinguishing her smile, "Is...is there something you need?"

Lu Jing's face was cold, and his voice, though not loud, sounded extremely oppressive: "Mu Jiangli, you left the team without permission to buy things. You will be punished."

Everyone, including Mu Jiangli, held their breath and listened attentively to Lu Jing's reprimand.

"Ten strokes of the cane."

After Lu Jing finished speaking, Mu Jiangli gritted her teeth, not daring to say anything, and could only accept it.

But when Lu Jing announced the next punishment, she immediately raised her head.

"A fine of three months' salary."

"Three months?!"

Mu Jiangli said anxiously, "Lord Lu, you can punish me however you want, but please don't take away my salary."

"Four months' imprisonment!" Lu Jing said coldly.

"My lord!" Mu Jiangli burst into tears.

"Five months!" Lu Jing said mercilessly, "Say it again and you'll be punished again!"

"I, I..." Mu Jiangli was angry but dared not say anything more. She could only breathe rapidly with a wronged expression, and her eyes reddened.

One monkey, one tethering method; teaching according to aptitude.

For someone like Mu Jiangli who is obsessed with money, simply punishing her by beating her is not enough; she wouldn't even blink an eye.

But if they were to punish him by cutting off his salary, that would be the death of her.

"I'm punishing you so you'll remember this lesson!"

After speaking to Mu Jiangli, Lu Jing turned to the other female prisoners: "You too, if anyone leaves the team without reporting it, you'll end up like Mu Jiangli. If you're not afraid, just go ahead and try!"

"Yes." None of the female prisoners dared to speak, and they quickly nodded in response before following Lu Jing.

Lu Jing and his group followed Fang Shengtian, and after turning several corners, the view suddenly opened up to a huge square.

There was nothing on it except rows of hitching posts.

If you walk further ahead, you will see the gate of the Flying Cavalry Camp.

The vermilion-colored, riveted gate was open, and the shouts of soldiers training could be heard from inside from time to time.

He dismounted.

"please!"

Fang Shengtian spread his arms and led Lu Jing and his group inside.

Walking inside, it was pretty much as Lu Jing had expected.

Neat buildings, soldiers lined up in formation are drilling on the training ground, and rows of weapons are on wooden racks nearby.

Great! That's wonderful!

Looking at all this, Lu Jing felt as if he had returned to the military camp in a dream.

He squinted and scanned his surroundings.

Next, I'm going to make this place my territory.
