However, he overheard someone say that women are very feminist and no woman wants to be overshadowed by a man.

But every time he did this, his wife seemed to enjoy it.

Of course, he enjoyed it even more.

From body to mind.

Therefore, he never worried whether his wife loved the Third Prince more.

Because how could someone who allows him to be so unrestrained not love him?

Thinking that his wife would be taking up her post in the outskirts of the capital the next day, Yuan Xihua was quite unrestrained that night. After all, it was his wife who said that a moment of passion was worth a thousand pieces of gold.

...

The next day, Ning Yan got up listlessly and went to take up her post in a daze.

In the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.

The deputy general had already received the order from above and led a group of generals to welcome her, the newly appointed commander-in-chief, early in the morning.

Ning Yan had heard from the Crown Princess that some of these people were her people and would cooperate with her work, but there was also a group of "troublemakers" who would definitely not obey her discipline.

Ning Yan listened with a smile.

Today she saw these "troublemakers".

Because as soon as she arrived, a general suggested taking her to the training grounds.

Ning Yan also wanted to see how the soldiers were training, so she agreed.

Several generals walked alongside her, explaining things to her as they went. Just then, a dark gray object shot straight at her temple with lightning speed.

Exclamations of surprise rippled through the training ground.

Ning Yan swiftly drew the longsword from the deputy general's waist, flicked it with her hand, and the dark gray thing immediately returned along its original path. With another wave of her hand, the sword returned to its sheath at the deputy general's waist without moving.

At the same time, the dark gray thing slammed heavily onto a burly woman not far away.

The woman was knocked back several steps by the impact and finally sat down on the sand pile.

Ning Yan walked over with a smile, "What kind of training are you doing? Iron Head Kung Fu? You don't need a helmet anymore, so you're just throwing it out?"

The woman stammered, unable to speak, when someone kicked her. "Apologize now!"

Ning Yan: "Hey, no need to apologize. It was just an accident. Just focus on training."

Ning Yan left after speaking, ignoring the countless gazes that were fixed on her on the training ground.

"Where were we? Oh, the daily training hours, General Shen, please continue."

General Shen paused for a second before continuing, "The soldiers in our camp train for at least four hours every day, and each one of them can take on ten men."

Ning Yan asked, "What about the food? Is the food adequate?"

General Shen reported the camp's food rations again.

Ning Yan frowned as she listened.

With such a high training volume, yet not even getting a single meat meal a day, how did that shrew get such a figure?

As they were talking, another longsword came toward her face, and the lieutenant instinctively covered the hilt of his sword.

This time, Ning Yan drew the general's broadsword with her left hand, and the longsword pierced a willow tree on the edge of the training ground with a thud.

The surroundings fell silent again.

Now they were certain that the new commander-in-chief was not some weak scholar; she was truly skilled in martial arts.

As expected, the emperor doesn't randomly select troops.

General Shen gave the soldier who "accidentally" dropped his weapon a severe scolding. The soldier obediently stood there and let the scolding continue, even apologizing to Ning Yan. Ning Yan smiled and forgave him, then punished him by making him do 10,000 frog jumps. That was the end of it.

Clever people have already given up on some of their scheming, but aren't there still those who are all brawn and no brains?

When they reached the south side of the parade ground, a soldier twice the size of Ning Yan stood in front of her. "I heard you're the newly transferred commander?"

Ning Yan nodded and looked the woman in front of her up and down. She looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a muscular build and a height that was top-notch for a woman, probably over 1.9 meters tall.

"You're not suggesting that your commanders are all incredibly powerful, that you can't be in the position unless you're strong, and that you want to try beating me, and if I can't beat you I'll have to leave, are you?"

The lieutenant immediately stepped forward and scolded, "It's you again, Ge Qing, you troublemaker! Get back to training right now, or you're not eating dinner tonight!"

Ning Yan smiled. What kind of troublemakers are these people? The real troublemakers are those who stand on the sidelines and watch the show.

But it doesn't matter, there will always be only one voice where she is, and she will let those who are well-behaved have their way.

Chao Geqing beckoned with his finger, "Come here."

Ge Qing took three steps forward and stood in front of Ning Yan. "Are the meals in the military camp enough to eat every day?"

Ge Qing hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Ning Yan looked at her and said, "Tell the truth."

Ge Qing scratched his head. "I'm not full. I have a big appetite; I can eat twenty steamed buns in one sitting without any trouble."

But the food in the military camp was limited, and sometimes I couldn't get enough to eat.

Fortunately, our boss would occasionally share half of her food with me.

The generals turned their heads helplessly. The food in their camp was already quite good, but they had no choice but to deal with such a glutton...

"Would you like to have a good meal?"

Ge Qing immediately shouted, "Yes!"

"I'll give you a chance. If you can knock me down within fifteen minutes, I'll treat you to a big meal!"

Are you serious?

"certainly!"

Ge Qing immediately perked up and charged towards Ning Yan.

The people on the training ground had already stopped, and Ning Yan and Ge Qing were surrounded by a huge crowd!

Everyone watched as Ge Qing, the strongest among them, circled around the newly arrived commander.

He couldn't even catch a glimpse of her clothes.

After spinning around for a while, Ge Qing was covered in sweat. She said unwillingly, "You kept dodging. I'm not as agile as you, so I couldn't catch you at all."

Ning Yan smiled upon hearing this, "Okay, then I won't move, you can do it."

After saying that, she stood on the ground with her hands hanging naturally at her sides, in a posture that was almost like surrendering.

Ge Qing laughed and reached out her large, fan-like hand to grab Ning Yan's shoulder. With a forceful movement, she was about to give Ning Yan a back throw, but, oh, it didn't move.

I tried harder, but hey, it still didn't move.

The next second, Ning Yan had already grasped her wrist and with a gentle force, Ge Qing was sent flying.

With a "bang," a large piece weighing over 200 pounds crashed heavily to the ground.

Ge Qing was convinced.

Everyone on the training ground remained silent.

Because they already understood that the newly appointed Grand Commander by the Emperor was truly capable.

He was the top scholar in the imperial examination, and his martial arts skills were so outstanding, so it seems that he would have no problem becoming a great commander.

Ning Yan walked over and helped Ge Qing up. Ge Qing was stunned for a moment, and her body ached, but it was only for a moment. Because of her good constitution, she recovered quickly.

"Shall we compete again?"

Ge Qing: "No need, I accept defeat wholeheartedly."

Ning Yan patted her arm, "It's okay, even if you lose, I'll still treat you to dinner tonight, I'll make sure you eat your fill."

"You were held back before because you weren't getting enough to eat, otherwise your strength could have doubled." (End of Chapter)
