Seeing that Lin Rui looked like he was enjoying the fun, he quickly patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to come to the rescue.
It would be easy for Han Wenjing to cheat others at the negotiation table or in military affairs, but he could not say anything harsh to a princess who was sent to marry a foreign race and suffered humiliation.
Lin Rui cleared his throat and said, "Princess, you have escaped to Huangmo Pass after a narrow escape from death. I believe you are trying to find a way to survive. Huangmo Pass is relatively peaceful and prosperous now. If you two princesses want, we can register your household registration. From now on, you can live here incognito and lead a normal life."
Yan Ling laughed so hard that tears came out: "Marriage? Getting married? With a body as filthy as mine and a blood feud on my shoulders, how can I ever have a peaceful life?"
Lin Rui said sternly, "Princess, this isn't your fault, it's the fault of the ruler of this dynasty. He's cowardly and incompetent, and after kneeling for so long, he can no longer stand up. He sacrificed the lives of your women for a life of his own. It's you who have endured the hardships and abuses of this alien race. No one has the right to judge you anymore!"
Seeing that Lin Rui's eyes were serious and there was no perfunctory or contempt in his expression, Yan Ling finally hugged Yan Yu and burst into tears.
Han Wenjing was about to speak when Lin Rui shook his head to signal him not to speak first, and to let him vent his grievances first. Otherwise, if he kept holding back his anger, he would become depressed and manic in the long run.
Finally, Yan Ling and Yan Yu finished crying and faced Lin Rui with a serious expression: "No, we don't want to live in hiding. Please find some martial arts masters for us. We want to learn martial arts."
Lin Rui had a bold guess: "You want..."
Soon his guess was confirmed. Yan Ling and Yan Yu both nodded, "Yes, we must also be like ordinary soldiers, kill all the aliens and avenge our hatred!"
This... this is quite difficult to deal with. If it were two ordinary weak women, perhaps he and Han Wenjing could make the decision.
Now the identities of these two people are princesses. Not to mention that their Xing Family Army has rebelled, but in the eyes of the world, the Xing Family Army has always claimed to be an army of justice. If they fail to handle the affairs of the two princesses well, it will bring disadvantages to their reputation.
"Clap, clap, clap!" Applause rang out from outside the door. "Great! Even the women of my dynasty have the courage to fight against foreigners. Why shouldn't the Xing family army accept them?"
Lin Rui and Han Wenjing looked back and saw that it was Xing Lie who had returned. They quickly saluted him.
"My Lord!"
"My Lord!"
Xing Lie waved his hand, signaling that there was no need for formalities. He looked at the two skinny princesses, his eyes flashing with complexity. "You two princesses may rest at Huangmo Pass. I will find a martial arts master for you to learn from. However, the princesses have been raised in luxury and their bones have already grown. Even if they learn martial arts now, their achievements will ultimately be limited."
Yan Ling nodded, already aware of this possibility. She looked at the three people and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as we can kill someone, it's fine."
As she said this, her eyes were about to bleed. The dark days she had lived in the hands of foreigners must have made her unable to get out of the deep pit for the rest of her life.
"Good!" Xing Lie praised again.
After settling the two princesses, the master and his ministers sat on horseback and chatted on the way back, discussing the situation outside the Great Wall.
Xing Lie had been running around with his men these days collecting information. He couldn't help but sigh when he heard Lin Rui's question. "Life is too difficult. People are struggling to survive. I thought the horrific events at Yishu Pass were isolated cases, but after investigating, I found they're everywhere. When will this world ever get better?"
Han Wenjing also felt heavy-hearted after hearing this. He also came from the common people, and he had concerns and worries about his compatriots who were once like him, but more importantly, he felt powerless.
Lin Rui said, "My lord, peace is won through fighting. Whoever has the biggest fist, the strongest military force, and the support of the people will unify the world. Strong military force and armaments are the key to a country maintaining peace. Now that Huangmo Pass is ready to go, it's time to go out and make our Xing Family Army famous."
Xing Lie's eyes lit up and he looked at Lin Rui: "That's exactly what I was thinking!"
So Lin Rui's words touched his heart. If it wasn't Lin Rui who said this today, Xing Lie would have to think about it, but since the words came from Lin Rui's mouth, it meant that Lin Rui had the ability to supply food and grass, so that he would not have to worry about anything while fighting on the front line.
There was no other way, because Lin Rui, the chief logistics officer, was so trustworthy. More than 60,000 soldiers of the Xing family army knew that as long as Lord Lin was there, they would not be allowed to fight on an empty stomach.
If Xing Lie is the spiritual leader of the Xing Family Army, then Lin Rui must be the Xing Family Army's staunch backer. Looking at the whole world, it is quite amazing that more than 60,000 military camps can eat meat every day. Which military camp can do this? In the whole world, it is difficult to achieve it except for Lord Lin.
Think about how hard their lives were before Lord Lin came to the military camp. After Lord Lin arrived at the military camp, they had better food, warmer clothes, and were equipped with armor on a large scale. Even the swords with rolled blades were replaced.
The princes outside the Great Wall are now fighting each other to death, but if the Xing family army goes out rashly, they will definitely be besieged by the united forces. Two wolves can fight to the death, but once a tiger comes into their territory, they will have to cooperate temporarily to drive away the tiger.
Now the Xing family army is like the tiger being confronted, and it seems difficult to break the situation for the time being.
Han Wenjing's brain was quick, and he extracted the essence from the information Xing Lie had just revealed: "Didn't the Lord mention that the Marquis of Jiangyin still has an old girl who is still waiting to be married?"
Calling her an old girl is a bit of an exaggeration. Xing Lie is the same age as Lin Rui this year, both are twenty-one, but the girl from the Jiangyin Marquis family is only eighteen. Why is she old? Because in ancient times, people would get engaged at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and get married at the age of sixteen. Some would even get married earlier, giving birth to children at the age of sixteen.
In this environment, it was indeed a bit late for the daughter of Marquis Jiangyin to be engaged and married at the age of 18.
Xing Lie didn't understand Han Wenjing's intention in asking this, but instead picked out some of the information the spies had gathered about the daughter of the Marquis of Jiangyin: "It's not that she hasn't been engaged before, but she was engaged twice, and the men died in succession, leaving her with a reputation as a jinx."
Lin Rui probably knew what Han Wenjing meant.
As expected, Han Wenjing asked, "My lord, do you believe these strange and supernatural stories?"
Xing Lie shook his head and laughed, "How can I believe this? If I lead my troops into battle and countless souls fall under my sword, and if they all turn into evil spirits and come to take my life, how can I possibly survive?"
Han Wenjing smiled and nodded, very satisfied with this statement.
Xing Lie looked at him and said, "Master Han, what do you think? Why don't you just tell me?"
Han Wenjing immediately made no secret of his intentions and offered a feasible suggestion: "Marquis Jiangyin's daughter is unmarried, and the general is also single, and we are of similar age. Why don't we form an alliance with Marquis Jiangyin, win over a powerful faction, and then open up the situation?"
