Chapter 126: Women in Ancient Times Had a Hard Life
Nangong Min saw that the time had come, and while no one was paying attention, he secretly took out the emperor's handwritten edict and read it out.
"The Emperor's order: Ji Huanan and the others only need to obey Bai Li from now on. No need to pay attention to anyone else."
"Your Majesty obeys!"
Everyone knelt down to receive the order. Ji Huanan took the imperial edict, glanced at it to make sure it was correct, and then put it in his arms.
"Captain Bai... Captain Bai, what should we do next?"
Ji Huanan didn't know how to address Bai Li for a moment. It sounded ridiculous to ask a second lieutenant to listen to the orders of a small captain.
No matter what favors she had done to the emperor to make this decision, she was, after all, the daughter of the old general, and they had raised her, so she was almost like their own daughter. When the time came, she would help give her some advice so that she wouldn't get into big trouble. It would also be considered as taking care of General Bai's daughter.
Ji Huanan had no idea how much trouble his self-righteousness would cause Bai Li.
Ji Huanan received the imperial edict and was taken away by Bai Zongren to be settled.
Today, due to Bai Li's arrangement, six teams of three thousand new recruits went to a hunting competition, so Nangong Min ordered that the prey be slaughtered in the evening to provide a snack for the new recruits, and it was also a celebration for the five thousand new recruits who had entered the barracks for one month.
During the meal, Nangong Min told Bai Li another good news that most of the women captured by Zhao Yuntian were willing to join the army and would arrive in a few days.
Bai Li was happy to hear this and ate two more bowls of rice.
Nangong Min looked at her little face which had become thinner, and silently picked up some vegetables and meat for her.
"Enough, enough, you really treat me like a pig!"
Seeing that she really couldn't eat anymore, Nangong Min ate his own meal in silence.
While eating, he would glance at her from time to time. He admired this little girl from the bottom of his heart.
Since the recruitment started after the beginning of the year, she, a little girl, has been busy recruiting soldiers, reorganizing them, and improving weapons. She is so busy all day long that even a grown man like him can't keep up with her. It is really not easy for a little girl like her to make it through.
Three days later, Wu Lanzhi, Gao Dani and thirty-six other women arrived.
"It's great to see you in the barracks."
"Bai Li, thank you for giving us a new life."
Bai Li saw that Wu Lanzhi and the others had smiles on their faces that came from the heart, and their eyes were shining. He was happy for them, knowing that they had moved on from the past.
The person who was happiest to see Bai Li was Gao Dani.
She ignored the looks of others and hugged Bai Li so tightly that Bai Li almost couldn't breathe.
"Bai Li, if it weren't for you, we would have no chance of survival. You saved us twice."
"Do you know? Many of our sisters who left home were sold to brothels by their parents, became widows, and many even hanged themselves!"
"They are so stupid! Why would they rather die than join the army?"
"By the time the news got through, it was already too late!"
"It's all my fault. I should have thought of it earlier!"
"Bai Li, this is not your fault, it's their fate!"
Seeing Bai Li blaming himself, Wu Lanzhi hurriedly offered comfort.
"You don't know, it's so hard for us women to live a good life!"
"Do you know? Many of our sisters who left home were sold to brothels by their parents, became widows, and many even hanged themselves!"
"They are so stupid! Why would they rather die than join the army?"
“By the time I persuaded my father to stop this from happening, it was already too late.
Women like us have lost our virginity and defiled our bodies, which is unacceptable to the world. If we hadn't come to the military camp, we would have followed in their footsteps!"
"When the news of the recruitment arrived, they had already..."
Bai Li understood that she was too slow. If she had asked Nangong Min to ask the emperor for permission right after returning, they wouldn't have...
"We women are no worse than men. We women can still hold up half the sky!"
"As long as we are strong enough, we can live the way we want!"
"Okay, I believe you, we will follow you from now on!"
Wu Lanzhi and others saw hope in Bai Li, and their hearts, which had been anxious all the way, finally calmed down at this moment.
They secretly decided in their hearts that if they went to the battlefield, they would fight their way out and make a way to survive for themselves and their sisters who were suffering the same hardships!
"Okay, you guys go down and rest first. You must have had a hard time along the way!"
Bai Li settled the female soldiers and turned to find Nangong Min.
As soon as I arrived at the door of his tent, I ran into Shangguan Yu and his sister who had returned home to visit their relatives.
As soon as Bai Li saw Shangguan Ying's pockmarked face with upturned nose walking towards her, she knew that trouble was coming again!
"Bai Li! You always take advantage of my absence to disturb the Major General. What's your intention?"
Bai Li died speechless. It was a miracle that this brainless guy could still live until now.
"Why, I was right, wasn't I?
I've seen it long ago. You have bad intentions and entered the military camp for other purposes!"
"Did your brain stay at home or was it not brought out of your mother's womb? How can you say such things!"
"I think it's you who has bad intentions and ulterior motives?
I'm kindly reminding you, don't shout your thoughts out loud so that everyone knows what's going on, or you might die without even knowing how!
"you!……"
Shangguan Ying was hit on the spot, feeling embarrassed and annoyed, and she was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped him.
"Little sister!"
Shangguan Yu was very anxious when he saw this, but it was too late for him to stop it.
Of course Bai Li would not be hit by her. He dodged to the side and reached out his hand. Shangguan Ying's tall body was pushed aside by her and fell to the side. At the same time, he was slapped in the face.
Several moves were performed in one go, and no one could see clearly how Bai Li made his move, but Shangguan Ying was hit and fell to the side.
"Ah!! Bai Li, I'm going to kill you!"
Shangguan Ying suddenly jumped up, pulled out a dagger and stabbed at Bai Li regardless!
The last time she was beaten by Bai Li, not many people saw it, so Shangguan Ying could still endure it. But now there are so many people watching in the military camp, and her brother Nangong just saw her embarrassment clearly. How can she still endure it?
"Little sister!"
"Shangguan Ying, no!"
Nangong Min and Shangguan Yu spoke at the same time, and both ran towards Bai Li.
How could Bai Li let her succeed? He kicked her with a sweeping kick, making her fall flat on her face.
Nangong Min: ...It was a false alarm!
Shangguan Yu: He was so anxious that he lost his mind. Ten Shangguan Yings would not be her match, but if he stabbed her, the consequences would be serious.
"Little sister, you're hurting people for no reason, are you crazy?"
"Brother! Are you blind? She was the one who hit me!"
The soldiers watching could no longer bear it and shouted, "You attacked her, and she fought back in self-defense. Did she really stand there and let you hit her?"
"Exactly. Your military rank is the same as hers. Why do you start cursing and hitting people right away?"
Everyone was talking at the same time, and Shangguan Yu felt so ashamed that his head almost fell into his crotch.
