Chapter 1291 Sugar-coated bullets
Xinchengji, in the central military tent of Xiaochuangying Station...

"Sister Huimei, how could you agree to that uncle?"

Listening to Huijian's complaints, Huimei felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. After all, it was really painful that her decision was not understood by her sisters, especially for a simple woman like Huimei who valued feelings.

Fortunately, Aunt Lu, who is always steady, has learned the whole story from the conversation just now, although she also does not approve of Huimei's unborn baby being adopted by the Earl of Yongning and his wife.

However, Aunt Lu is old, and her social experience and knowledge are not comparable to those of Huimei and Huijian, two young girls.

She knew very clearly her current situation. Like Huimei and Huijian, she always believed that King Chuang would defeat the government army and win on the battlefield.

But now Huimei and the 200 female soldiers she brought with her were indeed deeply trapped in the government army's formation. Even if King Chuang finally defeated the government army, there was no guarantee that Earl Yongning would not become angry and take his anger out on these female soldiers.

So in Aunt Lu's eyes, if the official army of the Earl of Yongning won the battle, Huimei and the 200 female soldiers would definitely not be in danger. But if the army of King Chuang won, the life and death of these 200 female soldiers and Huimei would be in danger!

"I don't think there's anything wrong with what Miss Huimei did."

Hui Jian was stunned by Aunt Lu's words. She angrily asked loudly, "How can this be a good thing if you recognize a thief as your father?"

Huimei had originally agreed to let the unborn baby recognize Ji Xuanzhu as her godmother out of consideration for Ji Xuanzhu, but deep down she didn't know whether this was right or wrong...

Now hearing Huijian questioning Aunt Lu like this, she was also waiting for Aunt Lu's answer with great interest.

"Hui Jian, you must know that Second Aunt hates these incompetent officials just like you do. I wish I could skin them alive and eat their meat."

When Aunt Lu said this, her gnashing teeth looked terrifying, as if she wanted to eat someone.

"Then why do you still recognize Sister Huimei's child and the thief as your father?"

Aunt Lu looked at Huijian's angry expression and felt that she was both annoying and ridiculous. What was annoying was that she could not see the current situation clearly, and what was ridiculous was that she admired and believed in King Chuang so much.

However, Aunt Lu still patiently explained to her: "Look, Huijian... we are now trapped in the army. Although it looks the same as usual, we are no different from prisoners. The life and death of the two hundred of us depends on the words of the Earl of Yongning.

Fortunately, Madam Ji and Huimei are getting along well, so our food and safety are not a problem for now, but in the long run, we are still in danger, so we still have to be cautious and not be careless."

"What are you afraid of?"

Hui Jian looked unconvinced and said angrily, "At worst, we can fight with these dog soldiers. Killing one will pay for itself, and killing two will earn us another one!"

"Silly girl……"

Second Aunt Lu scolded Hui Jian with a smile, and then continued, "You silly girl, you are not afraid of death, and Second Aunt knows it. But you are now the captain of these 200 female soldiers, so you should always do more for them.

What's more, you should think more about your sister Huimei and the fetus in her belly... You are not alone now, and you only need to consider your own life and death. You are now responsible for the life and death of more than 200 of us.

Although everyone in their hearts remembers the kindness of King Chuang and always hopes to return to his side, regardless of life or death, they can't die in vain, right?" Hui Jian was speechless after hearing her words, and her face flushed as she said anxiously, "If they are fed well every day, some of them don't want to hold a knife anymore. If they are fed for another year or two, I'm afraid that few of them will still remember the kindness of King Chuang."

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Lu and Huimei shook their heads at the same time...

…………

It turned out that the 200 female soldiers they led did not have a strong rebellious spirit and will in their bones. They just did not want to starve to death and had a little blind worship of King Chuang.

Although they were in the enemy camp, they did not feel any danger at all...

This group of officers and soldiers who called themselves the "Yongyi Army" seemed to be different from other officers and soldiers they had encountered before. They enforced military regulations very strictly, so the military discipline was very good, and there had never been any harassment of these female soldiers.

Another thing is that they can have a full meal every day, and the food is much richer than when they were in the Chuangjun Army. Although Huimei still insists on making them do exercises every day, such a stable life has already subtly influenced their hearts.

In particular, Ji Xuanzhu, the wife of the Earl of Yongning, would often enter Xiaochuangying and reward these female soldiers as Huimei's sister. Although the gifts were not expensive, such small favors were the best way to win people's hearts.

Ji Xuanzhu's status in the eyes of the female soldiers of Xiaochuangying is second only to Huimei. Even the prestige of Huijian and Aunt Lu is declining, and they are retreating behind Ji Xuanzhu, the wife of the Earl of Yongning.

This is exactly what makes Huijian and Aunt Lu worried. Their worries are not unreasonable. If the current situation continues to develop, it may not take more than a year before these 200 female soldiers no longer belong to King Chuang.

…………

However, Aunt Lu now has to maintain the unity within Xiaochuangying, and more importantly, maintain the prestige of Huimei, the flag of Xiaochuangying. She believes that as long as Huimei's heart is firm enough, Xiaochuangying will always be Xiaochuangying.

"The female soldiers are just looking at our expressions. As long as the three of us are of one mind, loyal to King Chuang, and want to return to King Chuang's army, these female soldiers will definitely follow us wholeheartedly."

As she spoke, she took Huijian's hand, walked to Huimei, and said, "The most important thing now is to ensure the safety of the female soldiers. As long as King Chuang defeats the government troops, we will have a chance to return to King Chuang's side."

"Well. This is the only way." Hui Jian didn't say anything else.

Huimei felt a mixed feeling in her heart when she looked at Aunt Lu and Huijian. Although she still missed Prince Chuang and Madam Gao, for some reason she couldn't hate Earl Yongning and his wife.

This made her feel very conflicted. She didn't know if her thoughts were correct. Sometimes she even hoped that King Chuang would not fight with Earl Yongning. If they could sit down and chat, maybe they could become friends!
But as soon as this thought came to her mind, even she found it ridiculous - how could this be possible?
"We can only control these female soldiers, prevent them from coming into contact with the government troops, and insist on daily training. We may have to fight our way back to King Chuang's camp on our own in the end."

After hearing Huimei's words, Huijian and Aunt Lu nodded heavily, their hearts full of hope...

"But can King Chuang really defeat the official army of Earl Yongning?" Huimei said again unconsciously.

Hui Jian quickly replied with certainty: "Yes, I can!"

"I hope..."
