In the spring of the fourteenth year of the Wei calendar, Shixia had mixed feelings, braided a man's hair for himself, and then wrapped his chest tightly with a cloth to make it no longer look so obvious.

After doing this, Shixia looked at the sky, it was the fourth watch, and it was about an hour and a half before dawn.

Shixia looked at the cleaned room again, lifted the bag on the bed, carried it on his back, and left the Shiquan Dart Game with guilt and excitement.

She was excited because she was about to join the army, and she was guilty because her family had always opposed her joining the army, because it was impossible for a woman to enter the army!

Shixia has been a strong girl since she was a child, and she doesn't agree with the statement that women can't participate in politics and join the army, so why are women inferior to those stinky men?

That year, a small soldier came to Hongyun City, a border city in northern Xinjiang, with outstanding martial arts and great wit, and the road to promotion was like a rocket, and he went from a small soldier to a captain in just half a year.

At that time, there was a group of wanderers outside the northern frontier, known as the "locust army", who killed people and burned houses and destroyed fields wherever they passed, taking away everything that could be taken away, and leaving no grass to grow in that place every time they passed.

The number of this group of wanderers is small, only more than 1,000 people, and they are familiar with the surrounding terrain, and they will escape every time they send troops to encircle and suppress them.

The border city does not necessarily represent the territorial demarcation line, but the position where the border city is located is the most conducive to defense, so the border city is set here, and there are many territories around the border city that also belong to the Wei State, and in that territory, there are also many villages and the people of the Great Wei.

There is the largest village outside Hongyun City, called Hongyun Village, with more than 300 households and a population of more than 1,300 people.

"Xiao Xia, it's here. As usual, Shixia pushed the door and walked into a house where he was cooking.

"Grandpa Huang, Grandma Huang. Shixia saw Grandpa Huang chopping firewood and Grandma Huang choosing vegetables.

"Xiao Xia, you haven't revealed your identity, right? We Da Wei, but women are not allowed to join the army, you will be known by Your Majesty, but you are guilty of bullying the king, and you will be killed. Grandpa Huang put down the axe in his hand, walked to the side and pulled a small homemade bench for Shixia to sit on.

Grandpa Huang and Grandma Huang knew the identity of Shixia women, on the way to join the army, Shixia was weak due to illness, and there was no timely treatment and conditioning after a long journey, so when they walked to Hongyun City, they fainted at the southern gate of Hongyun City.

At that time, Grandpa Huang and Grandma Huang happened to return from visiting relatives, and they were going to enter the city from the South City Gate, pass through Hongyun City, and then come out from the North Gate and return to Hongyun Village.

Seeing a handsome young man lying on the side of the road, the two old men were also kind and took Shixia back to their homes to take care of them.

Back home, Grandpa Huang checked Shixia's physical condition, because he lived in the village all the year round, usually went up the mountain to collect medicine or something, and knew a little about medicine, so according to Shixia's situation, Grandpa Huang went to the city again to buy medicine, and Grandma Huang stayed to take care of Shixia.

When cleaning up Shixia's body, Grandma Huang discovered Shixia's secret, where is this handsome young man, she is clearly a white and tender little girl!

Grandma Huang told the old man who had returned from buying medicine about this discovery, and Grandpa Huang pondered for a moment and felt that Shixia was not a bad person, so he kept her.

After a few days of careful care, Shixia's situation improved, and he became familiar with the old couple, and when the old couple learned that Shixia was going to join the army, they spoke out to stop her, warning her that women were not allowed to join the army.

In the current dynasty, even in the past hundreds of years, how could there be any women in the army?

However, when the Shixia inspection was going to go, the old couple couldn't resist her, so they had to tell her to hide her identity.

Shixia took the stool and sat down, everything has become accustomed to it, the old couple has long regarded Shixia as a relative, and Shixia also treats the old couple as their elders.

"No, Grandpa Huang and Grandma Huang, don't worry, no one will be able to find out my identity, and one day when I become a general, I will disclose my identity again, so that those people will be surprised! I will definitely be able to change something!" Shixia said optimistically.

"Then you have to protect yourself when you fight! Our baby didn't fight decades ago. Grandma Huang sighed, and Grandpa Huang hurriedly ran over to hug Grandma Huang.

The son of the old couple, who was also a soldier, died in a war with Yan thirty years ago.

The old couple were not originally from the northern Xinjiang, but moved here later, they just wanted to stay in this place and feel the place where their children once lived.

Moreover, their children died here, and they could stay here to get closer.

That's what the old couple thought.

"Brother Huang, he will protect me, I heard that our Brother Huang is also outstanding in battle, killed a lot of enemies, and now there are still many people in the army who remember him, we have a military chef who has been in the army for decades, he is Brother Huang's former comrade-in-arms!" said Shi Xia with a smile.

The old couple also smiled, the military chef, they know, and they will come to see them during the New Year's holidays.

After dinner, Shixia said goodbye to the second elder and rode to Red Cloud City, she had one day off every month, and she would use this day of vacation to visit the second elder.

Shixia rode up to the highlands and returned to Hongyun City from Hongyun Village, and had to climb over a small hill, which was not high, but it was a little laborious to climb.

"This is ......" Shixia suddenly saw a little light coming from a distance, heading towards Hongyun Village, and as the distance narrowed, it gradually became clear, it was a torch.

The number of torches is not known to be hundreds, and it is accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground, and the scale of the sound is no less than a thousand.

"Locust army!" Shixia's face changed greatly, and he immediately reined in his horse and returned, wishing that the horses could fly.

After a wild run of incense, Shixia rode back to Hongyun Village, but the scene in front of him was a purgatory on earth, with red light everywhere and houses burning.

Shixia rushed into the village and saw dead corpses everywhere, each corpse was cut out of several large cuts with a big knife, and the appearance of the skin and flesh rolling was very terrifying.

As the house approached the second elder, Shixia's heart beat faster and faster, until a feeling of suffocation appeared.

The house was on fire, and the two elders curled up and hugged each other, and in a corner, they were hacked to death with knives.

Later, she did not return to the barracks for half a month, and when she returned, the clothes on her body had become black and brown, which were the traces of being soaked in blood and then withered.

When he came back, he led more than 100 tall horses, and each tall horse dragged hundreds of heads behind them!

The human heads were tied with threads and their hair was connected, like strings of giant sugar gourds, but they were really not sugar gourds, but human heads.

On a tall horse beside her, two men were tied face to face and hugged each other, a bloodless man and a woman.

It was the leader of the "Locust Army" and his wife.

If you look closely, the two people are already dead, in the back of the man, there are nine fatal wounds, and in the back of the woman, there are thirteen fatal wounds.

On the night of the raiders who looted Hongyun Village, Grandpa Huang and Grandma Huang hugged each other, huddled in the corner, and were hacked to death with knives.

On Grandpa Huang, nine knives! Grandma Huang, thirteen knives!

I'll do to you as you would have treated the people I care about!

The return of Ten Summers caused a sensation in the entire Red Cloud City, because she actually wiped out the headache-inducing You Kou with her own strength!

That's a "locust army" that has sent more than 10,000 troops several times but can't be eliminated!

Zuo Xiuping, the general of Northern Xinjiang, sat in the city gate tower, his face was indescribably angry.

"Damn!" Zuo Xiuping slapped the tabletop, the solid birch table was smashed, and the generals on the side trembled in fright.

As a general, what he hated the most was desertion, and he did not return for half a month in Shixia, and was listed as a suspected deserter, so the Military and Political Department sent someone to investigate Shixia.

The Department of Military Affairs is a department jointly established by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, which is specially set up for military discipline, and has the responsibility of supervising any soldier and even a general.

However, the scope of responsibility of the Military Administration Department is too large and too special, and it is directly responsible to Emperor Wei, but most of the time it is handled and decided by Lu Zhengxuan, the master of the criminal prison of the Criminal Department, and only in major matters is Emperor Wei can be seen.

Shi Xia was just a school captain at that time, of course, Lu Zhengxuan directly decided and sent someone to investigate.

As long as Lu Zhengxuan wanted to investigate, there was nothing in this Wei State, or even the whole world, that he couldn't find out, and Shixia's true identity was quickly revealed.

Ten Summer is a woman!

The reason why Zuo Xiuping was so angry was not because Shixia was regarded as a deserter, but because such a good seedling turned out to be a woman!

Moreover, she also made a mistake, originally a woman was not allowed to join the army, and now it is a violation of military discipline, so the two crimes will be punished together, and the head will not be able to escape.

Zuo Xiuping felt very uncomfortable.

Even at the risk of killing his head, Zuo Xiuping dared to fight with His Majesty and save Shixia, but unfortunately she was a woman!

In the end, Zuo Xiuping ordered people to escort Shixia back to Beijing, waiting for Emperor Wei to fall, but on the way, he encountered a little accident, which led to Shixia's death, and he was not escorted to the capital.

In October, after knowing what happened to her sister, her anger rose in her heart, and she felt that it was too unfair, so she registered under her name and signed up for the competition, she was trying to get justice for her sister!

At the scene, everyone fell silent after listening to the story told in October, not knowing what they felt in their hearts.

Shixia is definitely a qualified soldier and an excellent soldier, the mistake is that she is a woman!

At that time, Zuo Xiuping, the general of Northern Xinjiang, asked Shixia if he regretted it, and if Shixia did not chase and kill Youkou, her identity might not be exposed.

Shixia's answer was crisp.

No regrets.
