Chapter 14 Mixed in "A team of Cuihua!"
"Your Highness has great methods." Song Sheng chuckled and said meaningfully, "Your Highness is truly omniscient and omnipotent. I am far behind you."
Min Shian's words were equivalent to admitting that Jiang Wuyin was hers. On the one hand, he was telling him the exact information to shut him up, and on the other hand, he was threatening him with Song Tinglan.
As expected, Song Sheng didn't say a word about her husband until the end of the banquet.
With Song Sheng's tacit consent, Min Shi'an was able to meet Jiang Wuyin, but Wen Liu was busy with military affairs and could not be delayed, so he was absent.
"When will you and Wen Liu be smarter? If I end up on the streets, I'm afraid you two might not even notice until you starve to death."
Min Shian said in a bad tone, "If Song Yanxuan makes things difficult for you, you must tell me."
"Yes, Your Highness." Jiang Wuyin responded with a wry smile.
She gave some more instructions before returning to the Sea Crossing Guard to meet up with Song Sheng.
"Song Yanxuan, how did you realize it was me by the sea?"
Min Shian stood side by side with him and asked casually, not expecting Song Sheng to answer. Unexpectedly, he stopped, his eyes fell on her arm, and slowly said: "When Tinglan was young, she boasted to me that she and Your Highness had a mole on the same place on their arms."
"That night, when Your Highness was tying up his hair, I saw it."
Min Shian burst out laughing. She had been thinking about it over and over again these days and guessed countless possibilities, but she didn't expect the truth to be so absurd.
"It's just a mole, isn't that too arbitrary?"
"Well, so I later deceived Your Highness. Your Highness's reaction..."
Song Sheng smiled and continued, "It's really interesting."
Min Shian walked out with a cold face. Before she got close to the carriage, she saw thick smoke rising from the northwest.
It's a beacon tower!
The smile on Song Sheng's face faded, his eyes became deep, and he rode his horse towards the front-line camp. Min Shi'an's face was solemn. After thinking for a moment, he casually took a horse and galloped to catch up.
"Your Highness!"
Min Shian raised her voice and said, "As a princess of a country, how can I turn a blind eye to the invasion of foreign enemies?"
"I can cooperate with the military doctors to treat the wounded."
Song Sheng did not insist any more and simply said, "If anything unexpected happens, I will order someone to escort Your Highness to safety."
A group of wounded soldiers had been sent back from the front line. Min Shi'an dismounted and took the cloth that had been steamed by the military doctor. He squatted down nearby and bandaged the wounded soldiers.
Everyone just thought she was a maidservant of Song Sheng who came here on orders. The situation was urgent and no one thought much about it. Min Shian quickly integrated into the group and was busy sweating profusely.
The wailing sounds came one after another. A trace of pity flashed in Min Shi'an's eyes, but his hands moved decisively. After straightening the protruding bones, he hurried to the next injured person.
A steady stream of wounded soldiers were sent back. Min Shi'an had no time to care about anything else. He wished he had three heads and six arms, and he shuttled back and forth among the wounded almost without touching the ground.
Until it got dark and the number of wounded soldiers sent became few and far between, she was no longer needed. Min Shian walked to an inconspicuous corner and sat on the ground, lowering her head and emptying her mind in meditation.
During the day, she pieced together the general situation of the battle on the front line from the fragmentary words of the wounded.
Thick clouds and fog rose over the sea, and it was pitch dark. The patrol soldiers had taken strict precautions, but they never expected to be ambushed.
Song Sheng set up three layers of checkpoints on the sea surface away from the ferry coast to prevent enemy attacks. However, man proposes, God disposes. The sudden sea fog gave Beiwu an opportunity to take advantage.
Fortunately, Wen Liu was on the front line, cooperating with the warships. After several rounds of fighting, the enemy was temporarily repelled.
No one dared to take it lightly, and the maritime patrol force increased its strength by another 10%.
As the night deepened, the bright moon hung high in the sky, dispelling all the sea fog, and the sea became calm again.
For several consecutive days, the Northern Witches did not launch any surprise attacks. Song Sheng returned to the guard corps from the front line and searched for a long time before he saw Min Shian by a lake.
"Your Highness, I will send someone to escort Your Highness back to the capital."
Min Shian turned around and replied, "Okay."
An inconspicuous gray carriage quietly left the city. Min Shian got on the carriage under Song Sheng's gaze. She estimated the distance, then lifted the curtain, bent down and stretched out her long arms, using the force to quickly exchange the stone with the stone that had been prepared on the roadside.
Blood oozed out, Min Shian shook his arm, not caring much, and waited for Wen Liu's men to arrive.
In fact, Wen Liu had advised her more than once that war was cruel and swords were merciless. If she wanted to study military tactics more deeply, he could draw actual combat illustrations for her to study.
At first, Min Shian was too lazy to explain to him, and he always gave vague answers and didn't take it seriously.
Later, whenever Wen Liu saw her, he would talk to her for two or three hours before he would stop.
"If you try to stop me again, I'll break your legs!"
Finally, under Min Shi'an's fierce threat, Wen Liu stopped mentioning this matter and began to concentrate on explaining to her the possible deviations between military books and actual combat.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard. Min Shian looked from afar and saw dust flying. Then, a carriage stopped steadily in front of her.
"Why are you here?"
Min Shian paused, then quickly entered the carriage and asked, "Song Yanxuan didn't notice, did he?"
Jiang Wuyin made himself look dirty and ragged. Fortunately, Min Shian took a closer look at him, otherwise he really wouldn't have recognized him at first.
"No, Wen Liu was worried about others coming, so he sent a message to me, asking me to come and meet His Highness."
"Your Highness's disguise is ready."
Min Shian changed into the soldier's uniform in the carriage, tore off the human skin mask on his face, and carefully made a new one.
She had originally prepared it, but to prevent Song Sheng from searching her body when crossing the sea, she quietly threw it into the sea. Otherwise, there would not have been so much trouble.
The human skin mask was finely crafted, and even though Min Shian had perfected her skills, she couldn't make it flawless in just a quarter of an hour. She stopped the carriage, grabbed a handful of mud and smeared some on her body and face, and then returned.
With the arrangement of Jiang Wuyin and Wen Liu, she joined the first team of the Sea Crossing Guard as she wished.
Song Sheng didn't like fancy divisions during battles, so he simply divided all the sea-crossing guards into four small teams.
The first team is responsible for charging into battle, often at the forefront, and is also responsible for exploring the way;
The second team is responsible for following behind the first team to protect the safety of the first team and prevent the enemy from outflanking from both sides;
The third team followed far behind the second team, forming a fault zone in the middle. They were the rear guard, always keeping an eye on any unexpected situation on the battlefield and responding accordingly.
The fourth team served as a reserve guard, and was always on duty to obey Wen Liu's orders in the military camp and would not leave the camp without the general's orders.
The patrol guards are randomly drawn from each team in batches.
Min Shian was very lucky as he was assigned to the patrol team on his first day in office.
"A team of Cuihua!"
"arrive!"
Min Shian suppressed his shame, spoke in a loud and firm voice, and held his head high with his chest out, looking straight ahead.
She reasonably suspected that Wen Liu arranged this name for her because of a personal grudge.
The captain glanced at her and asked casually, "New here?"
"yes!"
The border has been uneasy in recent years. Dajin does not object to women joining the army, but most of them are in Beifeng and Yeping. There are very few women in the sea guard, and people around them can't help but take a second look.
"What are you looking at?! What nonsense!"
The captain put the roster away and shouted loudly. Everyone shuddered and dared not look at it again.
Min Shi'an had also heard of this captain. Although the patrol guard members were random, the captain was fixed. This person had a bad temper, could not tolerate any sand in his eyes, and was extremely harsh. His nickname was "Yan Luo", which made everyone a little afraid of him.
Then, the captain divided everyone into five groups, each with fifty people, and led them onto the ship.
Although there is no distinction between men and women in the army, everyone takes care of "Cuihua" more. When the group plays finger-guessing games to decide who will steer and row, they consciously avoid her.
Min Shian raised her eyebrows, rolled up her sleeves, stretched out her dirty hands and joined in. She said, "Do you all look down on me, Cuihua?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "How could this happen!"
"We are grown men, strong and sturdy. How can we let a little girl like you do such hard work?"
"That's right."
Seeing this, Min Shian said nothing more, smiled brightly, and stepped aside.
After a few shouts, the helmsman and the oarsman were quickly chosen,[1] while the rest stood in various corners of the ship with spears.
Min Shian stared at the sea intently, with the sounds of the whistling wind and the oars paddling the waves in his ears. Seabirds flew by from time to time, but there was nothing unusual.
The big man next to her was probably a little bored, so he whispered to Cuihua, "Hey, big sister, what brings you here?"
"Brother, it's about defending our country! Why can't you let it go?" Min Shian answered in a low voice.
The two chatted for a while, and the big man was afraid that "Yan Luo" would find out, so he didn't dare to talk any more and stared intently at the endless sea.
After patrolling for three hours, the patrol team began to change shifts. After a simple meal, everyone returned to their respective teams and began training.
Min Shian followed a few people from the same team as during the roll call calmly, neither too close nor too far, to prevent anyone from noticing that she didn't know the way.
Teams one and two shared the East Training Ground, which was very close and they arrived in less than half an hour.
Wen Liu had briefly told her some basic information about the Crossing Sea Guard earlier, so she was not completely ignorant. She returned to the team with the others and started training.
Currently, they are training with spears, repeating the swinging and stabbing movements for a long time to develop their instantaneous explosive power and spear-using skills.
"Cuihua!"
"Where's Cuihua?!"
Min Shian was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that he was being called, and quickly shouted, "Here!"
Then she trotted out, walked to the front of the team, and said, "Captain!"
When she saw the captain's face clearly, she was slightly surprised for a moment. The man had a handsome face and fair skin, and he stood out among the bronze-skinned crowd.
"You just arrived, go over there and start basic training first!"
Min Shian immediately had a bad feeling. She looked in the direction the captain pointed and saw dozens of people swinging their spears in a somewhat clumsy manner.
"yes!"
She ran towards the group of new recruits, and when she got closer she found that it was Song Sheng who was correcting their movements in the crowd!
It was too late for Min Shian to go back, because Song Sheng had already looked up at him.
