Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Huang Fei and the other three exchanged glances once more.
“So what if you are a woman? Leader, your ability and talent far surpassed men! Besides, the Second Prince treated Leader so courteously and didn’t mind Leader’s female identity.”
The other three also looked at Qin Xiaoyao. Evidently, they fully agreed with Huang Fei’s words.
They had followed their Leader all the way, and their Leader’s bravery and strategizing had impressed them.
When they found out that their Leader was a woman, although they were shocked, their respect and admiration for their Leader did not change.
Even if their Leader was a woman, she was still the most powerful woman in the world.
It was their honor to be able to follow her.
Qin Xiaoyao seemed to be deeply moved, and she was actually a little surprised.
It was said that in ancient times, men were considered superior to women, and society was prejudiced against women.
However, the men of this era that she had come into contact with seemed to be quite accommodating toward her.
Her husband was like this, and so was the Second Prince.
Now, her four little followers didn’t have any other thoughts even after they found out she was a woman.
“Alright… I’ll tell you the truth.
“I actually came out this time to look for my husband.
“I’m married and have a family. Furthermore, I love my husband deeply.
“I don’t want to be separated from my husband for fame and fortune,” Qin Xiaoyao said earnestly.
Married people had to be responsible.
As the pillar of the family, she had to take care of all the matters in the family. That was what she had always reminded herself constantly.
When Huang Fei and the others heard Qin Xiaoyao’s words, they were all dumbfounded.
Their Leader’s explanation was bold and direct.
After the initial shock, the four of them couldn’t help feeling curious about Qin Xiaoyao’s husband.
They did not know what kind of man had actually caught their Leader’s eye.
“This… is actually fine. Leader, you can always arrange for your hus… Ahem, brother-in-law to stay by your side.
“At that point, wouldn’t it be a wonderful thing for a noble wife to bring glory to her husband?” Huang Fei said somewhat against his conscience.
A noble wife bringing glory to her husband? If this were to happen to him, he would be afraid of other people saying that he was living off a woman.
However, their Leader’s situation was special. How could an ordinary man compare to their Leader?
It was such a waste of her ability and talent to let such a powerful character like their Leader help her husband and raise his children.
Qin Xiaoyao was stunned momentarily
“A noble wife bringing glory to her husband?” Surely they meant a glorious husband ennobling his wife?
Besides, she had never felt that her husband was less capable than her. It was just that they were good at different things.
“Ahem. Don’t try to persuade me on this matter. When I go to High Pass Town and find the Second Prince, and then after I find my husband, I will leave.
“As for you guys, I’ll make arrangements for you guys before I leave.”
After all, they had been together for a few days and she had taken them in as her followers. She should at least do this for them.
In addition, they weren’t stupid, and after this period of experience, they had become more capable.
It shouldn’t be a problem for them to get official positions in the army camp in the future based on their accomplishments.
“Leader…” Huang Fei quickly tried to dissuade her.
However, he was stopped by Qin Xiaoyao as soon as he opened his mouth.
“You don’t have to persuade me anymore.” Qin Xiaoyao’s words immediately crushed the other four men’s intention to dissuade her.
“I’ll be staying in Yellow Flower Town for a while. You will be assigned to Colonel Chu’s team and come under my command.
“We’ve burned the Liao army’s food rations and we have reclaimed Yellow Flower Town.
“But right now, we’re also trapped on our own. After this, the Liao army will not let us off. It’s only a matter of time before they attack us.”
Qin Xiaoyao looked at the four of them.
“This is both a good and a bad thing.
“When there’s a war, there’s a chance to make a contribution.
“From now on, perform well. As long as you can make a contribution, I will make the decision for your promotion.”
She couldn’t guarantee anything else, but with the abilities of Huang Fei and his three brothers, it shouldn’t be a problem for them to be promoted to decurions first and then centurions.
Huang Fei and the other three exchanged looks with one another.
They knew that it was useless to continue persuading Qin Xiaoyao, so they finally agreed.
“Yes, Leader!”
In any case, it was not the final moment yet, and everything was still in a flux.
They would work with their Leader first, and talk about the other things in the future.
“That’s enough. Everyone’s tired tonight, so you can ask Liu San to help you arrange lodgings.
“Then, come and look for me tomorrow,” Qin Xiaoyao said with a wave of her hand.
“Yes, Leader!” The four of them then retreated.
After they left, Qin Xiaoyao asked the soldiers outside the tent to prepare water for her to wash up.
After hastily tidying up, she went to sleep.
The next day, when Qin Xiaoyao brought Huang Fei and the others out of the army camp, Yellow Flower Town had already become orderly.
Qin Xiaoyao couldn’t help but admire Chu Jin’s ability to manage the army and make appropriate arrangements.
After meeting with Chu Jin at the North Town Tower, Qin Xiaoyao took over the troops stationed at the North Town Tower and became the person in charge of the North Town. (Since Yellow Flower Town only had two town gates, when Qin Xiaoyao took over the north of the town, it was equivalent to taking over half of the military strength of Yellow Flower Town.)
Thus, Liu Hong became a general under her direct command.
Qin Xiaoyao was very satisfied with the arrangement. She quickly led Liu Hong and the others on a tour of the North Town.
They made some adjustments to the original deployment.
In just half a day’s time, Qin Xiaoyao had a clear understanding of the situation in North Town.
Of course, this was because she had investigated North Town before.
After that, the peace and quiet in Yellow Flower Town only lasted until the evening.
Qin Xiaoyao was drinking tea at a tea stall on the street when a soldier suddenly came to report that a large number of Liao soldiers had arrived at the North Town Gate.
Qin Xiaoyao put down her teacup and went to the North Town Gate.
Over there, they saw a large group of Liao soldiers gathered not far from the town.
There were about four to five hundred of them spread out in an impressive array.
“Colonel Qin…” Liu Hong looked at Qin Xiaoyao worriedly.
As they felt that “Deputy Colonel” didn’t sound nice, everyone addressed her as “Colonel Qin” now.
In any case, their Colonel and Teacher Qin had different surnames.
Qin Xiaoyao withdrew her gaze from the Liao army.
“Just guard the town gate tower well. If they dare to come within 300 feet of the town gate, order the archers to shoot.”
“Yes, Colonel!” Liu Hong immediately answered.
Qin Xiaoyao turned around again and looked at the Liao army outside the town.
“In addition…” She suddenly narrowed her eyes.
“Tell the Special Forces Team to get ready. If the Liao army doesn’t come after dark, we will take the initiative to attack,” she said in a low voice.
That was right. The first order she gave after taking over North Town was for Liu Hong to select 30 of the bravest soldiers from his men to join the Special Forces Team.
These men were selected based on their ability and not their military ranks.
If they were holding any military ranks, their military duties would be temporarily assigned to their deputies or competent subordinates.
After the candidates were selected, she personally inspected them to ensure that every Special Forces Team member was qualified in terms of capability.
After these people were selected, they were assigned to Huang Fei and the other three to receive urgent training.
The content of the training was not physical fitness. It only comprised one topic, and that was the Liao-style saber technique.
Huang Fei and the others were originally refugees, but after learning the Liao-style saber technique, they improved their skills by leaps and bounds in a short period of time.
These soldiers, who had already experienced hundreds of battles, would only improve faster.
During the apocalypse, she had worked with her teammates to come up with the Slaying Blade technique. If it was deployed on the battlefield, it would have a tremendous effect..
