Chapter 473 – Where Are the Talents? (Part 4)
Jiang Pengji said, “I’ll go change clothes. You keep an eye on the people downstairs and make sure they don’t stir up trouble.”
Li Yun nodded, regaining his serious and aloof male god expression, looking somber as he began to watch closely.
Meanwhile, new recruit Dian Yin was seething with anger inside.
He had originally stepped up for the women of the village, having to lead the village men in a confrontation against the Green Garment Army, only to end up with his home destroyed and becoming an outlaw.
It could be said that he was the one who loathed the existence of camp prostitutes more than anyone else among the new recruits. Such an organization should never exist.
The military camp was supposed to be a resting place for brave men to build their achievements and fight in battles—how could there be such disgusting transactions happening in secret?
Maybe Dian Yin’s reaction irritated the two new recruits because one of them spoke up.
“Hey, why are you staring at me like that?”
Dian Yin questioned, “Do you even know what camp prostitutes are?”
The new recruit shrugged nonchalantly, “Of course, they’re just those shameless women. What, you want to pity them, black-faced big guy? No offense, but look at you—poor and ugly. Out there, you wouldn’t even get a woman’s hand. Yet here you are fussing over this crap.”
Dian Yin suppressed his anger, lowering his voice a notch, “Many camp prostitutes are innocent women and children, forcibly captured by others…”
The new recruit was annoyed and retorted, “What are you, a wooden stake? Looking for trouble? I couldn’t care less about how those women ended up here, whether captured or kidnapped, it’s none of my business.”
The new recruit stood up, raising his voice to attract others’ attention, and continued, “You better restrain yourself if you’re struggling to control yourself over there with the women from the female camp. Just take care of your own affairs. Don’t think you’re some kind of saint—”
Another new recruit piped up, addressing Dian Yin, “The women from the female camp weren’t captured or stolen. They came willingly after the county issued a notice. They voluntarily serve the men in this camp. Come on, bro, worry about your own life. The county’s magistrate is being considerate, thinking we work hard, and prepared those delicate ladies for us, just relax and enjoy without causing a fuss.”
Dian Yin had some hopes at first, but now he was completely disheartened.
How could the seemingly glorious Xiangyang County be so brazen about establishing a brothel camp?
A certain new recruit laughed heartily, “Yeah, don’t stir the pot! Otherwise, you’ll get what’s coming! With a brothel camp, we can have some fun when bored. Look at you, all rough and tough—probably still a virgin. When the time comes, we’ll take you along to experience it, and you’ll get to know what a woman feels like.”
These new recruits hadn’t even caught a glimpse of the serious expression on their training sergeant—so tangled.
The gall of these rookies to call the female camp a brothel?
“It’s a pity Jiang Nongqin isn’t here; otherwise, she’d teach these kids a lesson.”
“I heard from above that Jiang Nongqin will be bringing her troops from Hejian over to meet up, likely starting after the new year. If all goes well, she should arrive in about a month.” The troops used to look down on women, but now they definitely didn’t dare, especially that group of female troops.
They simply couldn’t provoke them; otherwise, they’d be cut off from future generations in no time.
Their tactics were brutal and shocking.
Honestly, if training hadn’t happened, they’d have thought they were going to get chopped into pieces.
Once the big men got touched by those women, they would definitely suffer.
Kicks to the groin, pokes to the eyes, strikes to the throat, bone-breaking, finger bending, foot stomping, heart stabbing…
The moves were brutal enough, yet the speed was astonishing; they wouldn’t even have time to block.
To be honest, even these well-trained big men wouldn’t dare to fight that dirty.
These guys probably never imagined that the future female soldier camp would be even slicker.
“They’re still too young, sigh—”
The training sergeant sighed softly, his eyes filled with amusement.
Who would’ve thought that with Jiang Nongqin absent, there were still “female soldiers” around to teach these rookies a thing or two.
Dian Yin felt both furious and disappointed, his rugged face filled with intense resentment.
The new recruits, under his intense gaze, thought he wanted to fight and instinctively stood up, shrinking into the crowd since Dian Yin was just too tall, putting them at a natural disadvantage.
“What do you want? If you dare stir trouble here, you’d better watch out or you’ll be thrown out!”
Dian Yin coldly chuckled, just about to say he didn’t even care to stay here when a clear voice came from behind.
“Which little brat is here yapping about how the female camp is a brothel? Step up!”
Dian Yin turned in surprise, seeing a tall, well-proportioned girl standing not far away, holding a wooden spear, with a cold, disdainful smile on her fair face, her gaze icy as she looked at them…
Not a good sign, and Dian Yin sensed the hostility radiating from her, instinctively taking a step back.
The others, however, didn’t notice, instead curiously stretching their necks to watch the newcomer from the female camp.
Li Yun had been paying close attention to the situation, nearly spitting out water when he saw Jiang Pengji show up.
Was his lord’s so-called cross-dressing really just changing into a set of clothes and tying up a women’s hairstyle?
What about the makeup?
She just came out bare-faced?
Where’s the little bit of meat on her chest?
It’s nowhere to be found!
Li Yun secretly glanced at his lord’s chest, which was completely flat.
But, truth be told, if his lord put on women’s clothes and styled her hair just a bit more feminine, there would be a certain charm… At least if someone’s eyes were bad enough, they might mistakenly think his lord was a woman.
Li Yun stood by, critiquing and waiting for his lord to sweep the new recruits away.
“Oh, this is a little lady, huh…”
Seeing Jiang Pengji’s attitude, some new recruits shrank back, but there were always a few bold ones who insisted the female camp was a brothel, thinking the women didn’t deserve respect since they were just there to serve men on a bed…
Even with Jiang Pengji’s imposing attitude, they were not only unafraid but also developed some inappropriate thoughts.
“Alright, alright, if the ladies insist the female camp isn’t a brothel, let’s change the name, how about?”
Jiang Pengji pouted, her wooden spear twirling around her deft fingers, executing a flourish.
“No how abouts!”
As her words fell, the wooden tip of her spear, guided by her movements, slapped the new recruit across the face.
“You filthy hag, why are you hitting people like that?!”
She struck so suddenly that the new recruit was caught off guard, raising his hand to wipe his mouth only to find blood.
Licking his teeth, he realized some were loose.
Jiang Pengji revealed a gentle smile yet said, “Not only am I gonna hit you, but I’ll make sure you can’t get back up.”
Sudden fights were Jiang Pengji’s style; she wouldn’t wait for others to get ready before attacking.
The wooden spear in her hand was as agile as her own arm, hitting wherever she aimed, the spear shadows flickering almost like illusions.
The new recruit merely spaced out for a moment, and he had already been struck multiple times, rolling on the ground to hide from the pain.
After a while, getting bored, Jiang Pengji asked the others, “Who else thinks the female camp is a brothel?”
Several new recruits, seeing her so arrogant, couldn’t help but flare up.
“Isn’t it?”
“It’s totally a brothel—”
Jiang Pengji coldly scoffed, holding her wooden spear, “Is your bone itching? Do you owe some grass?”
