Chapter 246 In a desperate situation, I ran into a snag!
After a long silence
"Even if General Shen is a woman, she is no ordinary woman!"
"Yes, could any woman lift that big sword?"
"Women, no, no, what kind of image would it have to be of women mixing with male soldiers!"
"Women are the root cause of chaos in the military camp. We must join forces to stop General Shen!"
Sun Zhong: "You'll be leaving in a few more days, right?"
There was another moment of silence.
Not long after
"No, we've guarded the Northwest for so long, we can't let it be ruined by these women!"
“General Sun, you are the highest-ranking person here, so you should lead us in signing a petition to stop General Shen.”
Does a woman with some strength think she can fight a war?
What a joke! If that were the case, we should just appoint strongmen as generals and see if they could repel the foreign invaders.
A large group of people went to Shen Lanxi's office. When they arrived, they learned that she had gone to the conscription office, and then they went to the conscription office in a large group.
When they arrived, there were already many women lining up to register.
Cheng Zheng and others set up six tables to register these people.
"General Shen!" After greeting Shen Lanxi, the dozen or so military officers turned their attention to the women who had signed up.
They lingered for a while, and so many clueless women had already signed up. No, they had to get rid of these people quickly.
"General Sun, Deputy General Hou, Military Advisor Jiang..." Shen Lanxi greeted them.
Apart from Sun Zhong and Deputy General Hou, everyone else was somewhat surprised.
They were usually in the military, and at most they had only met once, when welcoming the delegation, and hadn't seen each other since.
She called out their names and positions without the slightest hesitation; this woman has something going for her.
“General, how can you recruit female guards? There’s no such rule in the army!” Seeing that neither Sun Zhong nor his deputy spoke up, Jiang, unable to contain his temper, took the initiative to attack.
Shen Lanxi: "I also want to recruit male soldiers, but we need to have some!"
These words stunned everyone.
They thought Shen Lanxi would strongly protect women and would break off relations with them because they disagreed with the female guards.
Unexpectedly, they ran into a snag in their desperate attempt to get away with it!
Shen Lanxi swept her gaze across the crowd: "If you are all willing to stay, I will immediately disband the female guards and never recruit any more female guards in the future."
The military officers felt as if they had a large goose egg stuck in their throats, choking them and making it hard for them to breathe.
Wei Dongzhu pointed towards the male soldiers and said, "The male soldiers who come to sign up are either old or young." Just then, an old man came to sign up carrying his grandson. When asked, he said that he was going to die and that if they weren't accepted, they would just be waiting to die!
Shen Lanxi: "Everyone, tell me, what can they do if we recruit them into the army?"
The military officers were speechless; they tried to speak several times, but no sound came out.
There's no way they'll stay!
Unexpectedly, Shen Lanxi's recruitment of female guards was actually a ploy to force them into submission; it's somewhat...
They are the people of the Prince of Zhennan. Isn't Shen Lanxi afraid of offending the Prince of Zhennan by openly poaching them?
"I think we should just forget about it!" Jiang Canjiang, who had shouted the loudest, lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly.
Although it is said that a scholar will die for one who understands him, Shen Lanxi is a woman, and it would not sound good if word got out that he was working under her.
Furthermore, a servant cannot serve two masters. No matter what method Shen Lanxi uses, they will not stay!
"General Shen, I have been waiting for your recklessness!"
"General Shen, farewell!"
The people who came in a big fuss left in the blink of an eye, looking utterly desolate!
"General, what's wrong with them?" Xiao Fang asked, puzzled.
Shen Lanxi also found it quite amusing.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Yanhui and the others arrived at Huangtu City, braving the fierce wind and snow.
Shen Lanxi had already prepared a welcome feast, with the main dish being bighead carp caught from Qinglong Lake!
The kitchen has been taken over by the women of Liuzhao Village. The women of Liuzhao Village have learned many exquisite skills from Wang Mama, and this welcoming feast is no less than that of the best restaurants in the capital!
"General, this is a wine I came across on the way here. It's sweet and won't make you drunk." Liu Yanhui personally opened the wooden barrel and served Shen Lanxi a bowl.
There were three wooden barrels, each the size of a water vat, in the hall. As soon as the lids were opened, a sweet fragrance wafted out.
Afterwards, Liu Yanhui poured a cup for the others, but compared to Shen Lanxi's offering with both hands, the others were more perfunctory.
A large water ladle, just fill it up and you're done; how much or how little you fill it depends entirely on your mood.
After tasting it, Ban Si Cao nodded: "Authentic!"
Shen Lanxi also took a sip, and then they discussed matters while eating the fish.
Towards the end of the banquet, the maids served each table a bowl of hangover soup.
Ban Sicao tapped her finger lightly on the table twice. Shen Lanxi glanced at it casually, then downed her drink in one gulp!
Those who have been following Shen Lanxi all know what this means.
After the banquet, Sun Zhong and other military officers, along with members of the marriage alliance delegation, left one after another.
Slightly drunk, Shen Lanxi was taken to a room to rest by the guards of Peach Blossom Valley.
A moment later, several heavy thuds were heard outside, followed by the door creaking open.
"Shen Lanxi, you brought this upon yourself; you have no one to blame but yourself!"
"The Empress originally didn't want me to deal with you so quickly, but you pushed me to my death, so you can't blame me!"
A dragging sound rang out.
"Which lady? The Empress?"
A heavy thud was heard as the door opened and two groups of people filed in.
Shen Lanxi took the strong tea that Qiushuang brought and drank two sips.
Chunxue reached out to grab the black-clad man's mask, but he nimbly dodged it.
"Ginkgo, stop struggling, we all know it's you!"
A resolute glint flashed in Ginkgo's eyes. Just as she was about to bite down on the poison sac in her teeth, she found that she had no strength left in her body.
With a thud, the ginkgo leaf fell to the ground, and the face towel was knocked off!
Shen Lanxi stared coldly at Yinxing: "I don't need to know who's behind you. If that person wants to harm me, they'll definitely send someone else!"
"I'm the kind of person who won't retaliate in kind to others, but will retaliate tenfold!"
"You put aphrodisiac and benzoin in my hangover soup, you know what I mean!"
Ban Sicao grinned wickedly: "I know, everything and everyone is ready!"
Shen Lanxi showed a satisfied expression, but also saw fear in Yinxing's eyes.
"This person is a spy sent by the three Turkic tribes. Don't let her die. Although the people of the Northwest can't avenge themselves for now, they can still vent their anger!"
"yes!"
Ginkgo was so frightened that her whole body was trembling.
"No," she said. She said everything, not caring about living, but only wanting to die quickly!
Ginkgo was taken away in extreme fear.
"General, are you really not going to ask anything?" Shen Yuanhao felt it was a pity not to find out who sent them!
Shen Lanxi looked at him quietly and said, "You're free, so you can eat more walnuts, or fish!"
Shen Yuanhao: What do you mean?
Is the older sister concerned about him?
