Lu Pianpian used an iron pot and two kilograms of silk to offset the increased tax, and then sent away the wolf-like "gentleman".

"What a bitch, please be a gentleman."

"In less than a year, two heavy taxes were levied. Such a country should perish."

Lu Pianpian looked at the background of Li Chang leaving with cold eyes.

She heard that King Yan had mobilized 60 soldiers and more than a million horses and livestock of all kinds, and was preparing to unite all countries to form an anti-Yong coalition to attack Yong on three sides.

The coalition of various countries has millions of troops, three times the strength of Yong, preparing to completely crush Yong's dream of unifying the world.

However, Yong's army is a tiger and wolf army, brave and good at fighting, and rarely loses.Even if the coalition forces of various countries have more troops, they can fight independently and there is no guarantee of victory.

Therefore, King Yan was still recruiting more young men to train new soldiers, and he was even more violent in conquering the brown men in Guizhou, euphemistically calling it a national war.

In fact, even if the "national war" of the various countries is won, will the brown husbands of Guizhou have any benefit at all?

But he was fighting for the nobility, and he was still a serf, even with a heavier burden.

Lu Pianpian said hello to the old woman, then left the yard and went to the river to wash her clothes.

There was already a group of village girls with dove-shaped faces and yellow hair washing clothes by the river.

When the village girls saw Lu Pianpian, although they found her ugly, they also envied her figure and hair.

But I heard a village girl say: "Have you heard? Princess Wuyang is recruiting female soldiers, and she also wants to serve the king."

"Notices have been posted throughout the county, saying that any woman who is brave enough to fight can apply and become a female soldier, and her family will receive a share of the food rations."

"Is it true?" asked another village girl, "can women also be female soldiers and receive military pay?"

"It's true. Do you know why? Because the king was afraid that there wouldn't be enough soldiers, so he used women to make up the number."

"What? There are not enough soldiers? Don't you mean a million troops? So many people are on the battlefield, isn't it enough?"

"Yes. There are tens of millions of people in Yan country. With so many men, how can it be the weak women's turn to fight?"

"Although it's a bit strange and I can't figure it out, Princess Wuyang is indeed recruiting female soldiers. This is true..."

When Lu Pianpian heard this, she was immediately tempted.

This is a great opportunity!

Women in this world are just vassals of men and cannot be officials or nobles. Even bandit leaders cannot be made by women.

It’s so hard to get ahead.

It's not a question of ability, it's simply a question of system, customs and etiquette.

But now, Princess Wuyang of Yan Kingdom actually wants to recruit female soldiers!

This opportunity is so rare.

As long as she joins Princess Wuyang's female army, she will definitely be able to stand out and become the princess's confidant.

She has this confidence completely.

Lu Pianpian inquired about it and knew that the news was true, so she immediately paid attention.

She returned to the thatched cottage, sat next to the old woman, and tidied the old woman's messy hair.

"Mom, my daughter is going to join the army. Princess Wuyang is recruiting female soldiers..."

"When my daughter goes to war, the family will be given a ration."

The old woman raised her gray head and looked surprised, "Nizi...how can we women go to the battlefield? Could it be a lie?"

Lu Pianpian said: "There are notices posted in the counties and cities. It is the king's order. There are notices in the village pavilions. Not all women can be selected. They need to be brave and strong. It should not be fake."

"King Ming..." The old woman still didn't believe it. "Mom has lived for more than 60 years, so she has seen a lot of things. I have never seen anyone recruiting female soldiers."

"Is it possible that Yong's army is so fierce that it forces the king to recruit women? No way."

Lu Pianpian took her hand and said:
"Don't worry, mom. Since the princess recruits female soldiers, she will definitely need a ration. After my daughter leaves, mom will also have something to eat."

"It's a way of repaying my mother for taking me in..."

The old woman's tears fell immediately.

"Nizi, my husband and son all died fighting for the king back then. You can't even see their corpses."

"Now you, a woman, are going to fight... Wuwuwu..."

"Why don't you, Your Majesty, take pity on us..."

Lu Pianpian felt a little sad when she saw the old woman crying. She touched the old woman's hand and said softly:
"Mom, I am a child who was abandoned by my biological mother since I was a child. You are my mother."

"If my mother hadn't taken me in last year, I would have been homeless and wandering around the world."

"Mom, don't worry, I won't ignore you, I will definitely come back to see you..."

The old woman shook her white head, "I'm not afraid that you won't care about me, I'm afraid that you won't be able to leave me, and I'm afraid that there will be some ups and downs in your departure..."

She raised her hand like a dead branch and rubbed Lu Pianpian's face.

"My child, I know you must have been a very good-looking girl before, more beautiful than the most beautiful girl in the village."

"But the world is so bad. Gentlemen are not like gentlemen, and evil people are more like evil people. You can only ruin your own face, right?"

"Oh, you are a poor child, you must have a background."

"If mother guessed correctly, you must be from a noble family, but you are in trouble, right?"

Lu Pianpian smiled bitterly and nodded, "Mom guessed it right."

The old woman sighed, "So Mom knows that you will definitely leave. You are different from them."

"Nizi, you can go if you want. Being in the princess's army might be a way out."

"Mom won't stop you, I just want you to be safe."

Lu Pianpian hugged the old woman, feeling the old woman's broken bones, and said with tears:
"Mother, my daughter will definitely come back to see you. My daughter likes to eat the black buns steamed by my mother the most."

The old woman laughed and said, "Black buns are what us bitter savages eat. How are you used to eating them? You know how to coax me."

After saying that, she got off the kang, walked to the innermost wall, pointed to the ground, "Mom can't dig, you dig."

What?Lu Pianpian was startled.

Immediately, she started digging.

Soon, a rusty bronze mirror was dug out.

It was a bronze mirror with rough workmanship, and no one could be seen in it.

Lu Pianpian could tell at a glance that this was an extremely ordinary folk bronze mirror and had nothing to do with treasure.

But the old woman cherished it in her hand.

"Nizi, this is my most valuable thing. I used it when I was young. It can still be exchanged for more than ten dollars. I'll give it to you."

After speaking, he put the bronze mirror into Lu Pianpian's hand.

"mother…"

"Take it. Mom doesn't have a piece of jewelry or a knife. All she has left is this mirror. Just take it as a thought..."

"If you really come back, pull the weeds from my mother's grave."

"Mother..."

.........

The next day, Lu Pianpian said goodbye to the old woman, took a wooden stick for self-defense, and left the village for the nearby fairy city.

Although everything is not peaceful now and there are so many thieves, the county town is only a dozen miles away and there will not be large groups of thieves.

But Lu Pianpian was still very careful.

Maybe she just had bad luck.She passed a forest less than ten miles away from the county seat, and two thieves with spears jumped out in front of her.

Then, two thieves holding spears appeared from behind.

"So ugly!" the thief in front spat, "What a shame! Leave your belongings and get out!"

A thief behind said: "Brother, her face is ugly, but from the back, she is so attractive!"

"She's so cute, she's as thin as she should be, as curvy as she should be, as round as she should be, her neck is white and tender, her hair is black and shiny, tsk tsk...who can stand this?"

"In my opinion, don't look at her face. Just cover her face, that's fine..."

The other thief in front laughed, "That's right. Ugly girl, take off your clothes and cover your face!"

Lu Pianpian sneered and said nothing, but held a long stick and was heavily guarded.

"Hey!" The four thieves laughed strangely, holding spears and surrounding Lu Pianpian.

At first glance, these four thieves looked like unattractive things. Not only did they have no armor, they didn't even have a bow.

Even their spearheads were rusty, without a pound of iron.

However, the four of them had weapons in their hands after all, which were much longer than Lu Pianpian's stick.

"Hehe, this ugly girl is interesting. I'm even more interested. Why is it that the more I look at her, the more I like her!"

"Put down the stick! Or I'll stab you to death! Put it down!"

"Grandma's bear! If you dare to resist, you will have to kill first and then rape!" Lu Pianpian felt that her legs were a little weak, but she knew that she must not put down the stick.

Once she put down her stick and lost her weapon, she was no match for four thieves armed with spears.

Her physical body is indeed stronger than that of mortals, but she is also made of flesh and blood. If she is stabbed with a spear, she will die.

Moreover, she has not had a full meal for more than half a year, and her physical strength has also lost a lot.

She has no weapons at her disposal.The stick is shorter than the spear and less powerful.

It would be much better if you have a long knife in your hand.

"Get out of the way!" Lu Pianpian shouted, his eyes filled with murderous intent, like an angry tigress.

There is absolutely no intention of disarming.

Seeing that she refused to surrender, the four thieves finally lost their patience.

"on!"

Suddenly four spears stabbed at the same time!The movements and coordination are actually very proficient, obviously he has done it many times.

Lu Pianpian dodged, dodging the stabs of two spears with quick movements, and swung away the third spear with her long stick.

The next moment, she used the force of her long stick to turn, blocking the fourth spear, and struck a thief in the face.

The movements were dazzling, much faster than the four thieves.

"Ah—" the thief screamed, threw away his spear, and fell down covering his face.

"Kill!" Lu Pianpian, with a long stick like the wind, once again pushed away the stabbing spear, turned around, and smashed the throat of a thief with one stick.

The thief didn't even bother to hum, he just fell down!
But the fall of the two thieves was not without effect after all.

Soon after, Lu Pianpian knocked down two thieves, and the other two spears had already stabbed them.

Two spears, almost inevitable.

In desperation, Lu Pianpian suddenly shot out with a backhand stick, and at the same time turned to one side.

"Ah—" The stick hit the third thief in the eye, and the thief immediately howled in agony.

He actually got a stick inserted into his head.

But almost at the same time, the fourth spear finally stabbed Lu Pianpian in the chest.

The fierce thrust of the spear drove Lu Pianpian's entire body back a few steps.

But the spear that was finally stabbed did not penetrate Lu Pianpian's body!

what!
The thief was so horrified that Lu Pianpian grabbed the tip of the spear before he could take it back.

The thief couldn't draw out his spear, so he just kept stabbing forward.

With a "pop!" sound, the spear stabbed Lu Pianpian's chest again, but not only did it still not penetrate, but the spearhead broke.

"You have armor!" The last thief screamed, dropped the spear that had lost its tip, turned around and ran away.

He never expected that this woman had armor!

I didn't expect this woman to be so vicious and powerful.

Lu Pianpian snorted coldly, picked up the spearhead that had not yet landed, raised her hand and fired out.

With a "Puff" sound, the spearhead shot into the back of the last thief.

The man screamed and rolled to the ground.

From the time when four people besieged Lu Pianpian to when they were all solved by Lu Pianpian, it only took a blink of an eye.

Although the time was short, it was thrilling.

Lu Pianpian was already covered in cold sweat, and her clothes were soaked with sweat.

She reached into her arms and took out a bronze mirror.

On the bronze mirror, there is a mark caused by a spear stabbing.

"Mother..." Lu Pianpian looked in the direction of the village with a bit of reluctance.

If it weren't for this bronze mirror, she would have been stabbed through the heart by the last thief's spear, and she would have died.

It was the bronze mirror that saved my life, and it can be considered that my mother saved my life.

Alas, this world is really too dangerous for Guizhou brown husbands.Women, in particular, are more at risk.

No wonder the women in the village usually dare not go too far out of the village.

When I left the village for the first time in more than half a year, I almost suffered an accident.

Lu Pianpian picked up a spear, stabbed the thief to death before he died, and then each of them took another spear, and then rummaged through the four people's things.

Hundreds of knives and more than a dozen pieces of jewelry were found.

Then, Lu Pianpian chose the best spear and continued on the road.

With the spear in hand, her confidence suddenly became much stronger.It is very different from the sense of security of a wooden stick.

Lu Pianpian entered the city of Wen County carrying a spear, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

An ugly girl actually has a spear!

"Who are you! How dare you enter the market with a spear!" Several men immediately shouted with knives.

"I'm here to recruit female soldiers!" Lu Pianpian pointed to a notice, "Isn't that the king's order? Her Royal Highness Princess Wuyang is recruiting female warriors from all counties."

Several gentlemen immediately lowered their guard, "It turns out she is a female soldier. Come with me!"

……

Three days later, more than thirty female soldiers recruited from Wen County were sent to Ji County together.

Then, the female soldiers who were recruited from the nine counties of Jijun were escorted to Wuyang.

Wuyang is the fiefdom of Princess Wuyang, and it is not far from the western border of Yan Kingdom.

The entire Ji County has a population of more than 200 million, but there are only more than 500 female soldiers who applied.

Out of 1 women, only five applied, which shows how low the probability is.

It shows that most people cannot accept the idea of ​​women joining the army.

Of course, these women who dare to apply are taller, stronger, more courageous, and have a fierce spirit.

It only took Lu Pianpian a few days to show off her spear skills and give a few pieces of jewelry, and she won the appreciation of the county officials and temporarily became the camp leader of more than 500 female soldiers.

How could Lu Pianpian let go of the opportunity?She fulfilled her duties as "temporary camp leader" in a serious manner, and also "promoted" a group of temporary "officers".

Along the way, Lu Pianpian used every opportunity to train more than 500 female soldiers and brainwash the "officers".

Even the officials who "appreciated" Lu Pianpian couldn't help but really look at Lu Pianpian with admiration.

This ugly girl is really talented.

Too bad she's a woman.Otherwise, he will look like a famous general.

Well, I must recommend it to Her Royal Highness the Princess.

I think Her Royal Highness the Princess will reuse it.

Lu Pianpian knew it well, and gave all the money he had obtained from the thieves to the escorting officials.

More than half a month later, the female soldiers from Jijun traveled more than a thousand miles and finally arrived at the gathering place: Wuyang!
Outside Wuyang City, the flag of the female army has been erected and it has become a temporary school ground.

There were nearly ten thousand female soldiers from various counties, all gathered in the school grounds in a chaotic manner, chattering and making a noise.

"Pass this military order." Lu Pianpian raised her spear, "Line up! Raise the flag!"

"No! Under my command!"

With an order, more than 500 female soldiers immediately lined up and marched forward, flying flags made on the road.

Above the flag were four big characters: "Jijun Women's Camp!"

The Jijun women's battalion entered in neat lines, which immediately attracted the attention of the female soldiers from each county and Princess Wuyang.

"Where is that female soldier? She's so powerful!"

"This is... Jijun Women's Camp?"

"It's really eye-opening..."

The female camps from all counties could not help but be secretly surprised.None of the female soldiers from various counties who came to gather this time were like the female soldiers from Jijun.

And on the high general's platform, a woman wearing gorgeous armor and a mask couldn't help but stand up.

This noble lady is Princess Wuyang.

"Eh? Jijun Women's Camp? Interesting!" Princess Wuyang smiled, "The leading woman is not simple!"

"Someone, let the ugly girl leading the team with the spear come to see me!"

"No! Princess!"

PS: What happens next?It will be a bit surprising. (End of chapter)
