Su Bairen hurriedly said: "Now is a time of crisis, why bother with so much red tape, Yulan and Xiaohui are also Ziling's wives, they are definitely their own people, it is better to give them a temporary position, so that they can also help in the legion. ”

Su Zhirou smiled: "That's the best, I don't know what kind of official position my father gave us?"

Su Bairen said: "Qingshuang is the left commander, and you female generals will all be captains." The higher the military rank, the smoother your dispatch of troops and horses. ”

Su Zhirou clapped her hands and said: "That's the best! I heard that the position of lieutenant is quite big, and now we are all female generals, and when the husband comes back, we can work together in the legion, hehe......

Bai Qingshuang smiled: "Then you have to inform Yulan and Xiaohui as soon as possible, with Yulan by my side, I feel a lot more settled, and I don't worry about making mistakes impulsively." ”

Su Bairen and Ma Dai looked at Su Zhirou and Bai Qingshuang and laughed easily, and they didn't know what to say. They naturally knew in their hearts that the position of captain was quite high, and it was reasonable that it could not be arranged casually, and it was just an expedient measure to do so at this time. When the war is over, the positions in the army will inevitably have to be rearranged. It's just that Su Zhirou and Bai Qingshuang are quite happy about this, and they don't want to ruin their interest at this time.

The cavalry battalion outside the city came quickly, and they had already come to the city of Songhu while talking. At the forefront of the team were 2,000 female soldiers, led by the famous female general Hui Yinghong in the capital.

Hui Yinghong couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw that the gate of Songhu City had long been closed, and the sergeants on the city tower were neatly lined up and were looking at Luxia. She came quite low-key all the way, until now she still hasn't shown her flag, and she hasn't encountered anyone on the road, she thought she could smoothly blend into Songhu City, but she was closed as soon as she came to the city.

Hui Yinghong's left and right commanders were her fellow junior sisters Luo Meifeng and Ji Furong, and the two were also quite surprised, Ji Furong said: "Senior sister, seeing that Songhu City closed the city gate early, could it be said that they have already noticed our intention? But we haven't encountered anyone to check on us all the way?"

Hui Yinghong said: "We start with female soldiers, I think we can make the other party's vigilance a little, you can first try to open the city gate." ”

Luo Meifeng immediately slapped his horse and shouted: "Listen, the people on the city tower, we are envoys sent by the Nangong family, if you have something to ask to see Master Su, please quickly open the city gate and lower the drawbridge." ”

Ma Dai on the city tower said with a smile: "These leading female generals are heroic, and nine times out of ten they are the leaders of the Silver Yan Legion." Hui Yinghong is not cunning, she actually pretended to be the special envoy of the Nangong family, but she didn't know that we had an alliance with the Nangong family, and there would be special code gestures between the envoys of each other, how could we be so casually called two sentences to be confused!"

Su Bairen nodded to Bai Qingshuang and motioned for her to come forward and talk. Bai Qingshuang shouted on the city tower: "Now that wars are frequent in various places, anyone entering and leaving the city must check their identity during the special period, even if they are envoys of the Nangong family, they can't enter casually." What's more, your identity is unknown, and you don't even have the agreed code gesture, which is clearly ill-intentioned. Who are you and what are you here for?"

Hui Yinghong and the two junior sisters looked at each other, thinking that they were starting with female soldiers and pretending to be the envoys of the Nangong family, an ally in the east, and they should be able to deceive the city gate. Who knew that the city tower was not moved at all, and pointed out its own flaws.

Ji Furong complained: "I didn't expect Nangong Xia and Shi Ziling to be really careful enough, and they actually sent envoys with a fixed code gesture, what should I do now?"

Hui Yinghong thought for a moment, stepped forward and shouted: "Listen to the people in the city, we are actually envoys sent by the imperial court, and we have a secret decree to be issued to Lord Su Bairen. Because of the confidentiality, I had to hide my identity. Please open the city gate quickly, and don't delay the important affairs of the court. ”

Ma Dai shouted on the city tower: "You say that you are the envoy of Nangong Xia for a while, and you say that you are the envoy of the imperial court for a while, who knows if you are true or false! No matter who you are, you must not enter the city with a large group of people." You said you came to issue an edict, but what proof do you have?"

Hui Yinghong took out a yellow scroll from her bosom, held it high in her hand and said, "The Holy Decree is here, please come out quickly to receive the decree from Lord Su, the Governor of the Eastern Region and the City Guard of Songhu City!"

Su Bairen, Ma Dai and the others on the city tower were a little unsure of what to do for a while, and Su Zhiju, who was on the side, said: "Father, don't worry, we will use the method of procrastination according to what Sister Yulan said, and drag it out for a while." Anyway, no matter whether the holy decree in their hands is true or false, or what the content is, they must not allow their brigade to enter Songhu City. ”

As soon as Su Bairen heard the reason, he motioned to Ma Dai to reply for him. Ma Dai arched his hand on the city tower and said, "Don't hide it from the envoys, our Lord Su has been ill recently, and he is now in bed in the mansion to recuperate. Since you have a holy decree in hand, we can immediately go to the city guard mansion to report and see if Lord Su can come out to receive the order. ”

Hui Yinghong said: "You open the city gate first, and we will go to the city guard mansion to issue an edict, and we don't need to work for Su Da**." ”

Ma Dai said: "No, Lord Su has instructed, this is an extraordinary time, and there are frequent wars in various parts of the Mingyue Continent, no matter which way of people and horses want to enter the city, they must verify their identity." Even if you are really envoys of the imperial court, only twenty people can enter at a time, and the rest of the troops should all retreat to a distance of twenty miles, otherwise we will never open the city gates. ”

Luo Meifeng shouted: "How can this be reasonable! You dare to stop the team of the imperial court envoys, do you know that this is a felony of killing the head!"

Ma Dai said with a smile on the city tower: "Don't dare, it's just that I've been an official for so many years, and I've never seen a whole 10,000 cavalry battalion as an envoy to issue an order." What's more, there are countless armies dozens of miles behind you, and such a special envoy is really a big ......pomp!

Hui Yinghong frowned slightly, and raised her voice: "This lord, you also said that there are frequent wars in various places now, and it is reasonable for us, as women, to come all the way from the capital and bring 10,000 cavalry to escort us. As for the people and horses in the back you mentioned, I heard that the militia groups from all over the country came to take refuge in Shiziling, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

Ma Dai saw that Hui Yinghong responded quickly, and he was also secretly admired. He smiled on the city tower and said, "I see! It's a pity that Shiziling is not in the city, even if those people and horses come to join Ziling, we can't let them enter the city for a while, and the same is true for your cavalry." That's okay, I'll go and tell Master Su to know, and see what he will decide. ”

Hui Yinghong couldn't help but be secretly anxious when she saw that Ma Dai refused to let her go. But if you can only bring twenty followers in, it will be difficult to make a difference in the huge Songhu City, and only one Duanmu family is enough to deal with them, not to mention that there are other masters in Songhu City.

In desperation, Hui Yinghong had no choice but to say: "Then you should quickly notify Master Su to come, and we will wait here." ”

Later, Hui Hongying ordered people to inform the follow-up men of the Yinyan Legion, so that they could temporarily hold their troops and stay stationed twenty miles away from the city, and not show the banner of the legion for the time being.

But until the sky got dark, there was still no movement in Songhu City, Hui Hongying and the others gradually became agitated, Luo Meifeng couldn't help but shout under the city: "Why hasn't Lord Su come out yet?

Ma Dai leaned out unhurriedly on the city tower and said, "I'm sorry everyone, Lord Su is sick and can't move for a while, otherwise I would like to ask the envoys to order your cavalry battalion to retreat to twenty miles away, and I will let the envoys go to the city to rest?"

Hui Yinghong and the two junior sisters looked at each other, and they couldn't imagine that the other party had made them wait for a long time, and they still refused to open the door if they pretended that Su Bairen was ill and couldn't come out. Luo Meifeng scolded angrily: "How can this be reasonable! You Songhu City dare to be so lazy in the face of the envoys of the imperial court, are you going to rebel and fail? If you don't open the door again, we will attack the city!"

Bai Qingshuang couldn't help but shouted: "If you are really the envoy of the imperial court, it is the same if you issue an edict outside the city, if you want to threaten the city, you obviously have bad intentions!"

Hui Yinghong heard that the true yuan energy contained in Bai Qingshuang's voice was extremely abundant, and it seemed that she was not far from herself, and seeing that the armor and clothing on her body were obviously quite high in the army of Songhu City, she couldn't help but ask, "Who is this female general, why do you always want to believe our identity?"

Bai Qingshuang shouted: "My aunt is the left commander of the Songhu Legion, Bai Qingshuang, my husband Jun Shiziling is not here, and I am fully responsible for the defense of the city." I don't care if you are an envoy of the imperial court or Hui Yinghong of the Silver Swallow Legion, as long as I am Bai Qingshuang, Songhu City will never allow you to enter and leave at will!"

Su Bairen's father and daughter, Ma Dai and others behind Bai Qingshuang couldn't help but laugh, they couldn't imagine that Bai Qingshuang was in a hurry to tell the truth, and she also claimed to be her aunt and grandmother, which was really funny.

Hui Yinghong, Luo Meifeng and the others' faces changed color together, listening to Bai Qingshuang's tone, they clearly saw their true intentions, and they were a little surprised for a while.

Hui Yinghong thought for a while, raised the holy decree in his hand, and picked up Zhenyuan and shouted: "Since this is the case, I will issue the decree here!"

"Listen to the people in the city, the imperial court heard that the commander of the Songhu Legion and the defender of the city, Shiziling, led the troops to the north without authorization, and annexed the three major towns in the northwest on his own initiative, obviously with the intention of rebellion, and now he specially ordered Hui Yinghong, the commander of the Yinyan Legion, to lead the men and horses to temporarily take over Songhu City, and remove all official positions in Shiziling!"

"In addition, Su Bairen, the governor of the eastern part of the country and the city guard of Songhu City, misemployed people and was suspected of being an accomplice with Shi Ziling, so he was ordered to be immediately dismissed from his post and investigated, pending further dismissal. Chin!"
