Prince Jing couldn't believe it. With the broadsword still at the general's neck and the general sweating profusely, how could she still laugh so easily and turn around to talk to him?
Aren't you afraid of accidentally causing injury?
"Stop talking and put the knife down!"
He Jiuniang twitched the corner of her mouth, removed the broadsword from the general's shoulder, and then casually threw it on the ground, making a sharp and piercing sound.
Before Prince Jing could speak again, He Jiuniang said to the general, "With your abilities, you're not qualified to be a general. You might as well step down and give way to me."
Just now, those people down there were spouting nonsense, saying that even without training, they could easily kill a young punk like He Jiuniang with one hand.
And what happened? With just that simple move, they were slapped in the face.
Everyone present was somewhat stunned, finding it rather unbelievable.
"That...that was because I underestimated my opponent!"
Even in that state, the general was still stubbornly refusing to admit defeat. He may have underestimated his opponent, but he shouldn't have been able to turn the tables so quickly. He was indeed no match for He Jiuniang, but he would never admit it!
He Jiuniang glanced at him but didn't take it too seriously. Men are all obsessed with saving face; she could understand that.
So she said to the group of stubborn men, "Come at me all at once. This time you'd better use all your strength, and don't underestimate me again."
His tone was clearly very gentle, even carrying a hint of concern and care, but in the eyes of these grown men, it was the ultimate mockery. They were all furious, and several of them had already stepped forward with their weapons.
He Jiuniang was still not satisfied and pointed to the group behind her: "You guys, yes, those guys who look unhappy, come up here together."
This really offended everyone, leaving even Prince Jing dumbfounded.
Haven't they already proven their strength? Why do they still need to fight?
And she has to fight so many people all by herself?
Even if they're not very capable, they can still overwhelm them with sheer numbers. These little soldiers don't even look like strong.
Prince Jing felt that the soldier was being arrogant and ignorant. If it weren't for Lu Baichuan and He Jiuniang's sake, he would have done nothing!
Just as he was about to speak, He Jiuniang glanced at him. Although she didn't say anything, Prince Jing understood what she meant.
She said: Mind your own business.
Prince Jing: ...
Forget it!
He doesn't care!
Prince Jing snorted, took a few steps back, and watched coldly. That brat had better not ask him for help!
Meanwhile, He Jiuniang was already fighting with that group of men. This time, she wasn't just using a calligraphy brush; she had switched to a small stick, which would hurt a bit when she hit someone.
She did it on purpose, to make these people feel pain so they would take it seriously and start training again. Otherwise, wouldn't all her efforts to instigate the war be a joke?
At the same time, there were quite a few people who attacked He Jiuniang, more than twenty in total, and they were all capable generals.
From this perspective, it seems like they're bullying them.
Even so, they didn't fare well. There were constant screams, all familiar to everyone. But a relatively thin figure moved through the crowd, easily beating them all up.
She was familiar with human anatomy and used minimal force to inflict maximum suffering on them. Before long, they all gave up and lay on the ground in agony.
This time, everyone really looked at this thin soldier with new respect, and their gazes towards her changed.
He Jiuniang was still putting on airs: "I really envy the lack of competition here. Even someone as incompetent as me can become a general. Unlike me, I'm not even ranked in our camp, so our general sent me to run errands and deliver messages~"
Everyone: !!!
It is highly damaging and extremely insulting!
That wasn't all; she continued, "People like you will only benefit the Dongting people. They'll kill you one by one and take you all back to earn military merit! No way, this time when I go back, I'm going to talk to our general and apply to be on duty at the border. I'd rather be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond..."
"That's enough, you're getting more and more outrageous!"
Prince Jing frowned, thinking that this kid was truly fearless.
However, she certainly has the right to be arrogant; to win so beautifully against multiple opponents is truly admirable.
This also raises doubts about these people's abilities. It seems they really need to be trained, otherwise they will be among the first to die in a real war.
The soldiers clenched their fists in anger; they were truly furious, gritting their teeth, yet utterly helpless against her.
You can't beat her, and you can't reason with her no matter what.
"What does Your Highness think of my moves?"
He Jiuniang turned to look at Prince Jing, ignoring what he had just said, and went straight to the point.
Prince Jing nodded. Although he was reluctant to admit it, it was undeniable that it was truly brilliant.
These moves are all deadly, and although they may not be entirely honorable, they will definitely earn you military merit.
On the battlefield, who has the mind to care about whether it's honorable or not?
"How long did it take you to learn all this?"
Prince Jing thought for a moment. Lu Baichuan should have taken office after the New Year. It hasn't been a few months, yet the troops he leads are already so strong.
"One month."
He Jiuniang remained calm and composed. The people she trained were indeed capable of doing it. She had even selected the two hundred best individuals for intensive training, and those two hundred had now been dispersed to other military camps to train other soldiers.
Since we're going to fight a war, then naturally everyone needs to be strong.
Everyone gasped. Wasn't it said that it takes ten years of practice to achieve three minutes on stage? How could someone be so amazing in just one month?
Seeing everyone's surprise, He Jiuniang continued, "Those who are in the military camp must have some basic skills. As long as they train their speed and reaction ability, they can learn these skills very quickly. The Eastern Court has been invading frequently, and His Highness the Crown Prince has decided to send troops. They are currently preparing provisions and will send a large army to invade when the time is right. If you are still so lifeless, what will you use to earn military merit?"
He Jiuniang's words were like a bombshell thrown into the crowd, causing a great uproar.
"What did you say? We're really going to go to war?"
"What's your basis? We haven't heard a thing about it."
"You're not lying, are you?"
"Explain yourself clearly!"
...
Everyone became excited. As they guarded the frontier, they naturally knew how outrageous the people of Dongting were. They always bullied the people on the border, but the emperor wouldn't allow them to fight, so they could only suffer that humiliation every time.
But now, this little soldier says that the Crown Prince has decided to go to war, which is going against the ancestral precepts?
Why do they find it so appealing?
He Jiuniang didn't want to explain too much to them, and simply said, "Anyway, that's all I have to say. I've come here to deliver the training program that my general personally wrote. If you're willing, you can follow along and train. You can earn military merit for yourselves, bring honor to your parents, wives, and children, and let them live a good life. If you're not willing, and your military merit becomes someone else's on the battlefield, then don't blame me for not giving you a friendly reminder."
