Tibetan beads

Chapter 400

Xu Yin laughed: "What you said is not wrong, but you are the only one now! So the clerk can't remember your name, otherwise, it will be inconvenient not only for you, but also for others, and the officers will not be able to manage it. The army must be disciplined, and once it becomes chaotic, it will be difficult to fight."

The girl hesitated for a long time, and had to admit: "Okay! What you said makes sense."

She thought about it but was unwilling: "Then can't you set up a women's camp? There are always women who want to join the army like me."

Xu Yin sighed: "It's not easy for women. How many men can beat men like you? Look, there are not many women who can escape here."

The girl was saddened by what she said: "But..."

Xiao Sang couldn't help but said: "Girl, our lady is not that kind of person. We also have well-trained female guards in our mansion, who can ride horses and bows. But fighting is very complicated, and some things are not easy to deal with. You can do it, take your time.”

The girl's eyes lit up: "Then can I also be a female guard? Miss Xu San, you accept me? I can fight, really!"

Xu Yin glanced at Xiao Sang.

Xiao Sang understood, and said, "Miss, is she going to take my job? Then I have to win first, and then I will talk."

"You?" The girl looked suspicious when she saw her thin and frail.

"Don't look at me like that, you may not be able to beat me." Xiao Sang said confidently.

Unconvinced, the girl stood up: "Then come!"

Seeing that Xu Yin did not object, Xiao Sang raised the curtain: "Let's go outside."

"it is good!"

Xu Yin didn't follow out, and continued to read the information calmly.

There was a commotion outside, presumably there were many people watching the fun, applauding and cheering, and some people were fanning the flames beside them, fearing that the world would not be chaotic.

After a commotion for about a quarter of an hour, two girls came in again.

Both of them are fine, their clothes and hair are fairly neat, but there are many leaves and grass roots stuck to their bodies.

Seeing the girl's dejected look, Xu Yin knew that Xiao Sang had won.

"How is it?" Xiao Sang asked with a high air.

"I admit defeat." The girl said, "However, Miss Xu San, although I am not as good as your maid, I am much better than the soldiers outside. If you don't accept me as a female guard, can I lead the horse for you? ?”

It's only been a few days, and another one wants to lead a horse for her.Xu Yin smiled: "I don't know how to go into battle to kill the enemy, and I don't need someone to lead the horse."

The girl couldn't help being embarrassed: "Then what can I do? I don't want to wash clothes like them. This is not my strong point."

Xu Yin asked, "Why do you want to join the army?"

The girl's expression dimmed, and she said: "My family is gone, and my father is dead. I want to earn a living and avenge my father!"

"Revenge? Those rebels?"

"Well. This year's harvest is not good, and the tax is high. My father and the others asked the government to reduce the tax. They went out to ask for an explanation that day, but they never came back. Later, I heard that the county was captured by the mountain people, so I took my mother to find me. Dad, it turns out..."

"In the end, it was the rebels who captured the county."

She looked sad and angry: "Those people entered the city among the mountain people, and after they captured the county, they killed my father and the others."

Xu Yin sighed: "What about your mother? Is she still there?"

She nodded: "I brought my mother all the way here. I heard that Ms. Xu San is here to take in refugees, so I came here together. My mother is outside. If you accept me, my mother will stay here to wash clothes and cook. Anyway, it’s not for nothing.”

"What's your name?"

"Chuncao, Feng Chuncao."

Xu Yin thought for a while and said: "You lost the competition just now, so I can't accept you as a female guard. But what you said is also reasonable. You are not good at washing clothes, so it is not appropriate to do this. Let's do it this time. Take a servant, lack someone to do chores, can you do it?"

"What chores?"

"For example, take care of my horse, drive me a cart if necessary, and sometimes ask you to do things that are inconvenient for men."

Feng Chuncao thought about it, this should be the servant of a big family, right?Although it's a bit boring, it's better than washing clothes, and beside Miss Xu San, you can practice with them, maybe you can get a chance to fight!
"Okay! I'll do it!" She agreed and asked again, "However, can I get armor and weapons?"

"Yes." Xu Yin smiled slightly, "If I am in danger, you have to protect me."

"No problem!" Feng Chuncao was gearing up, "I can work now."

"Don't worry, go to the clerk with Xiaosang to register, and then settle your mother down before coming back."

"Okay!"

Feng Chuncao went out happily.

After a while, Xiao Sang came back and said, "Miss, in fact, what she does is the job of a guard!"

Xu Yin's voice was slightly melancholy: "She said that's right, I have earned a small world for women, so how can I not give other women a chance? If she was a man, she would have recorded the roster by now, and made a big show. Skilled."

Xiao Sang said sincerely: "Miss is really kind."

Xu Yin smiled and shook his head: "Not yet. The background of that Miss Qi from earlier can be checked, so it's okay to stay. Whether this Feng Chuncao claims to be a mountain man is credible or not is another matter. You should pay attention to it. If she is really not problem, it won’t be too late to bring her closer.”

She paused, and continued: "If she is trustworthy, then there will be girls like this in the future, and they will all be gathered together to fulfill her desire to fight the enemy."

There are many concerns about women forming an army.But how do you know if you don't try?
……

When Xu Yin settled the refugees, Du Ming and Wei Jun had already arrived outside Xingtong City.

There are many people in the city, many people will die if they take it back one day later, so Du Ming didn't delay a day and directly built soil to attack the city.

On the other side, Wei Jun mysteriously pulled a cart over.

"What?" Du Ming wondered.

"Good stuff!" Wei Jun stepped back and pulled away the oilcloth on it.

The car was full of buckets, and the lid was lifted, the oil paper was removed, and a smell rushed out.

"gunpowder?"

Wei Jun nodded: "This is a new recipe we found a while ago. We tried it in Hexing, and it's powerful enough to open mountains and crack rocks. But it's not easy to operate. We have to think about it. If the arrangement is proper, blowing up the city gate will not be a problem .”

"Does Third Miss know?"

"Of course, Miss San asked us to try."

Speaking of it, I have to thank Young Master Chu Jiu. Nanyuan is a small place, and there are no mountains that are inaccessible. They have been unable to find a place to try.When we arrived in Hexing, there happened to be a mountain on the road to the Wangfu Garden, and it had been cleared beforehand because of the nobleman's trip. If we don't try such a good condition, when will we try it?After a trial, the power was astonishing, and the entire slope was blown up.

"Okay." Hearing that the third lady knew, Du Ming didn't hesitate, "Tell me what precautions you should take, and we'll find a way to blow it up."

"Okay!" Wei Jun smiled openly.

If the city gate is successfully blasted, it will be his credit, right?
