One of the older women broke the silence.

"I want to follow the boss."

She explained the reason for her choice, "My husband died, and my parents-in-law and sister-in-law abandoned me on the road in their attempt to escape. If it weren't for A Pan and the eldest lady who passed by and saved me, I would have died long ago."

"It was only after meeting A-Pan that I realized that women can survive outside and can practice martial arts and kill monsters."

"Everyone says women are weak, but that's bullshit! How are we women weak?"

"The eldest sister is very powerful, even more powerful than A Pan. She can make so many men bow down to her, so I want to follow her. Maybe one day, I can also become a figurehead for all the sisters."

After hearing her heartfelt words and thinking of the deceased lady, some people burst into tears.

Life is so difficult, but they have survived until now relying on each other. They don’t even know why they are living, but just rely on instinct to struggle for survival.

"Okay, since Fangniang wants to follow the boss, then I'll go too. I've never been to Kyoto before, so let's go see what the capital city where the emperor lives looks like!"

The few people who had expressed their opinions in front of Wei Xiyin just now stood up.

"I'm going too! Instead of living in vain, we might as well go out and try our luck. Even if we die, we'll die a worthy death!"

"I'm following Fangniang. It was Fangniang and Apan who saved my life. Wherever they go, I'll go!"

Fang Niang pursed her lips and advised, "Sisters, don't act rashly. I'm not saying this to encourage you. This decision concerns everyone's life and death. It's a serious matter. Think it over carefully."

"What's there to think about! I've had enough of this world!" A trace of unwillingness flashed in the eyes of the other woman.

She has a strong character and is unwilling to be a plaything for those dirty men. She is unwilling to be humiliated and would rather die outside.

They had been prepared to die this winter, but fate had changed and they met the boss at this time.

Fang Niang was helpless. She turned her head and looked at the few people on her right who had remained silent. "You should go to Ling County. The boss said it's safe there now. Don't try to be brave at this time. It's a good opportunity to take the sick sisters there."

"I'll leave them...in your care."

Upon hearing this, the ladies lowered their eyes and shed tears, remaining silent.

A Pan also remained silent.

It was only after she saw the grain carts that she shamelessly asked the boss to take her in.

Now that the boss has agreed, he has given them food and even arranged a way out for them.

In A Pan's opinion, having received such a great favor, she could not but be loyal and turn around and abandon the boss without caring about him, and run to Ling County alone to avoid the disaster.

The boss is a good person.

There is nothing scary about Kyoto. The boss can go there, so why can't she?

The ladies quickly reached an agreement.

A small group of people took the patients to Ling County, and the rest followed the boss.

A Pan and Fang Niang brought people to the outside of Wei Xiyin's tent.

As soon as they saw the person, all the ladies knelt down in the snow and kowtowed to Wei Xiyin.

The scene was truly spectacular.

This attracted the attention of Gong Chun and Dong Zhiyao.

Ah Pan didn't care about the looks of those people. She raised her head, straightened her back, and said stubbornly, "This servant and others have made up their minds and are willing to follow the boss. From now on, we will only obey your orders."

"From now on, I will just follow the boss' orders!"

Wei Xiyin slowly stood up and walked out of the tent.

She personally stepped forward and helped A Pan, Fang Niang and others in the front row up.

“The world is not easy, life is hard.”

Wei Xiyin sighed and said, "Since you have made your choice and acknowledged me as your master, I can't guarantee anything else, but as long as I have something to eat, I will definitely not let you go hungry."

A Pan and others were slightly moved. They felt that their choice was indeed the right one!

Behind him, the ladies who decided to go to Ling County also came forward and kowtowed, saying shamefully: "Thank you, Master. We will remember your grace of rebirth."

The group kowtowed heavily to her.

Wei Xiyin stood still and nodded slightly, "Don't feel guilty."

"This is the most reasonable arrangement. Everyone has their own path, but you just haven't found it yet."

"But in today's world, it's better to rely on yourself than on others. You still need to practice martial arts and build up your physical strength. I hope that when we return from Kyoto, you will find the value of your life."

A Pan and others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that he would come back.

The sisters still have a moment of reunion.

The ladies nodded heavily and replied, "We listen to the master!"

"Go pack some clothes, we'll set off tomorrow."

"yes!"

Wei Xiyin watched them return to the cave, then turned and went to the next tent.

Gong Chun was sitting leisurely by the campfire, warming himself when he heard the curtain being lifted. He raised his eyelids and said, "Congratulations, girl."

Wei Xiyin asked in a gloomy tone, "What are you happy about?"

She grumbled to herself.

The effectiveness of the women's army will not be seen in the short term. They need to be equipped with complete equipment and strengthened training, and a large amount of food must be invested in the early stages to feed them.

When you go out, you only have limited food and supplies to carry with you.

What kind of happy event is this?

Equipment is easy to deal with. The most important thing to carry when going out is equipment. A Pan and others decided to follow less than a hundred people. The crossbows that Wei Ting got can be fully allocated to the female army.

Gong Chun did not comment on this.

Wei Xiyin asked: "By the way, where is Brother Yao?"

Unexpectedly, Gong Chun's expression suddenly changed, and he said coldly, "How should I know? Do you think I am his personal bodyguard?"

Wei Xiyin was confused. "I just wanted him to help train the female army." It was really confusing.

What are you angry about?

Are the two of them not getting along well?

But since they were together every day, she didn't notice anything wrong.

Gong Chun finally rolled his eyes and focused his gaze on her: "We have to hurry, how are we going to train?"

Wei Xiyin explained good-naturedly, "Traveling is also a form of training. It can increase endurance and physical strength, and it can also give them a chance to practice with those monsters. They've been dependent on each other for a long time, so naturally they have a certain tacit understanding."

In addition, they all have some martial arts background, so training should be easy, provided that their physical strength is built up first.

To put it simply, let them eat their fill first.

Brother Yao still needs to go and see how strong their fighting power is so that he can carry out targeted training.

Gong Chun stopped talking.

Wei Xiyin had nothing to say when she saw this and was about to leave when Dong Zhiyao came back with Wei Lang.

After a day's rest, Wei Lang regained his energy and became lively again.

"Sister! We just went to the deep pool to fetch water, and it hasn't frozen over yet!"

Wei Xiyin nodded perfunctorily. She was leaving tomorrow, so whether the pool was deep or not was not her concern.

She turned to Dong Zhiyao and said, "Chang Ying needs to coordinate the troops. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Brother Yao with the training of the women's army."

Dong Zhiyao did not refuse after hearing this.

He agreed to follow her out just to help Wu Niang with chores.
