"I am Lin Boming, the brigade commander of the 3rd Regiment, 1st Battalion of the Dayuan Army Cavalry Regiment. Are you from Suyab City?" Lin Boming asked with some doubt, looking at the dozens of knights in front of him who were obviously dressed as Hu people.
It's no wonder Lin Boming was puzzled. The Great Xia Dynasty had been trying its best to assimilate the Hu people within its territory, especially the military, where the assimilation methods were direct and effective. After joining the Great Xia army, they would wear Great Xia army uniforms, and their speech and behavior would be Sinicized.
These days, Lin Boming has been hanging out with Bado. If Bado hadn't revealed his identity, Lin Boming wouldn't have known he was a Qiang. But apart from the weapons in their hands, the scout cavalrymen in front of him didn't look like soldiers of the Great Xia at all.
"You think you're a high-ranking military officer? You're just bragging!"
A tall, magnificent Ferghana horse suddenly appeared, circled Lin Boming five or six times, and then the rider asked uncertainly.

Lin Boming only realized it was a woman when he heard her voice, and immediately questioned her without any politeness.
"Oh! You don't seem that old, nor do you have the imposing presence of those high-ranking officials and volunteer soldiers..."
The female knight removed the headscarf covering her face, and her beautiful appearance calmed the anger that had just surged in Lin Boming's heart.

"I won't hold it against you... Our main army is only fifty miles behind us. You should quickly report to your city lord and prepare to welcome them!"
"...Alright! Judging from your armor, you do look like a real high-ranking general. I am Talia, welcome to Suyab!"
"Talia? That's a lovely name. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Talia blinked, a sly glint in her eyes. "Oh! I'd be happy to meet you if you gave me a musket!"
"...What if I give you three?"
Talia's eyes lit up even more. "...I'll drink with you tonight!"
Seeing the beautiful woman from the Western Regions staring intently at him, Lin Boming suddenly felt a little uneasy; his alcohol tolerance was indeed not very good!
