After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

In the next few days, the entire capital city was immersed in this kind of frenzy atmosphere.

Frost is so busy that he has no time to spare.

He had to liaise with the Grand Chamberlain on the royal family's investment holdings, and also had to deal with all the officials.

Qin Yaoguang saw that this was not going to work, so he simply asked the emperor for a courtyard in the Taifu Temple to be used as the external office of the United Commune.

He also selected literate servants in the mansion to help Shuangjiang.

There are more than 20 people in the yamen, who are responsible for the investment department, logistics department, commerce department and other departments.

Since a brand new system has been introduced, Qin Yaoguang doesn't mind using modern titles.

She estimated that there would be more office staff in this government office in the future.

All things are difficult at the beginning, and all the intricacies need to be sorted out.

After arranging all this, she secretly left the capital with a small entourage and rode to the Women's Guard Camp.

The Queen Mother kept the secret of the Female Guard Camp for so many years. Qin Yaoguang didn't want it to be exposed as soon as it came into her hands, so she only ordered the Green Guards to follow.

Leaving the capital from the south city, go southeast along the official road, then turn into the mountain road and walk for more than ten miles to reach Cuihua Mountain.

The sun was high in the sky and Qin Yaoguang was riding on a horse. His inner clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck to his skin, making him feel very uncomfortable.

Xue Ke, who had gone to scout the road ahead, rode back and greeted Qin Yaoguang in a casual manner: "Master, there is a tea stand selling cold water at the intersection ahead. Do you need to rest?"

There are seven or eight people in their group, so if necessary, she will have to make arrangements in advance.

Qin Yaoguang wiped the sweat dripping down her neck with a silk handkerchief and asked, "How far is it to Cuihua Mountain?"

Qingbai glanced at the sun hanging high in the sky and estimated, "It will take another half an hour to ride."

"No more rest."

Qin Yaoguang squeezed her legs against the horse's belly and walked into the mountains with the Qingyi Guards.

Cuihua Mountain has a dangerous terrain and numerous mountains.

Halfway up the mountain, there is a valley village.

As the name suggests, the village is built in a valley surrounded by beautiful mountains on all sides.

Once we entered the mountain, we felt that the heat had mostly dissipated, and the breeze blowing through the woods brought a slight coolness.

Qin Yaoguang loosened the reins and walked slowly in the forest.

Qing Bai looked away from the map and raised his head to report, "Master, if you go in along this path, you will reach the Valley Village."

"let's go."

The quiet valley village was very different from what Qin Yaoguang had imagined.

The fields and paths are crisscrossed, and the sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard.

The houses are neat and the grass is lush and green.

What a secluded paradise scene.

Holding the reins, Qin Yaoguang looked around and saw villagers gathered in groups of three or four under the banyan trees and beside the fields, enjoying the cool air leisurely.

Their appearance was so abrupt and out of place.

Several village women who were washing clothes by the well discovered them. They said something to each other, and a little boy ran towards Qin Yaoguang.

The child's eyes are sparkling, showing his innocence and knowledge of the world.

"Excuse me, sir, are you from the capital?"

Qin Yaoguang got off the horse, smiled and nodded: "Can you take me to see Village Chief Su?"

When she got here, even the air became leisurely, and a smile naturally appeared on her face.

The boy had never seen such a beautiful woman before. He felt that she was like a fairy from a painting. He was stunned for a moment before turning around and running away.

Qin Yaoguang touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

Is she that scary?

It actually scared the child away.

If she hadn't raised five children, she would have doubted the value of her charm.

The child walked very quickly and ran to the well. He turned around and pointed in the direction of Qin Yaoguang and gestured.

A plump washerwoman stood up, washed the soap foam off her hands with water, wiped the water stains on her apron, and walked towards Qin Yaoguang.

When she came closer, Qin Yaoguang could see that she was tall and strong, with dark skin, and was the image of a woman who had been working all year round.

"I am Su Bai. May I ask what you may want to ask?"

Qin Yaoguang was surprised. She was Su Bai, the leader of the female guard camp?

This, this doesn’t look like it at all. Did I find the wrong one?

Suppressing her surprise, she took out the ivory token from her bosom and handed it to her without saying a word.

Su Bai narrowed his eyes and looked at the token carefully.

Then, her temperament changed completely, becoming cold, sharp and murderous.

She was clearly still dressed like a village woman, but no one would make a mistake.

"General Su," Qin Yaoguang said slowly, "I am here on the orders of the Queen Mother. From now on, you will obey my orders."

Qing Bai added: "General Su, our master is Princess Leyang."

Su Bai nodded: "Please follow me."

She led a group of people deeper into the village. Along the way, the villagers were not disturbed at all and continued to do what they were doing.

Only then did Qin Yaoguang notice the details that she had previously overlooked: these peasant women were all sturdy in build, with calluses on their hands, and they were military men.

Su Bai led the way to a mountain wall, and lifted the vines to reveal a path.

"Your Highness, please come inside."

Coming out of the small path, what appears before your eyes is a pasture with lush grass and water. In addition to cattle and sheep, there are more than 500 fat and strong war horses.

Hundreds of female soldiers were training on the wide parade ground.

It's just a road away, but no sound from outside can be heard at all.

Qin Yaoguang nodded secretly in his heart. It was indeed a unique place to hide troops. He didn't know how his father found this place back then.

The Queen Mother's management was also brilliant.

It was not used as a military camp, but rather adopted the system of fubing, combining soldiers and farmers.

In peacetime, they are farmers who cultivate the land and reproduce, and during the slack season they train. In wartime, they join the army and fight.

It is said that great men hide in the city and conceal their troops in the mountains and valleys. Even if outsiders accidentally set foot in, they will not arouse suspicion.

Su Bai's eyes were full of pride, just like a student who had scored full marks in the exam and was showing his answer sheet to others.

"Your Highness."

She clasped her fists and said, "Do you want to review the troops?"

Ever since the death of the previous emperor and the empress dowager locked herself in the deep palace, her army of a thousand men lost its backbone.

Living day after day, sometimes even she herself seemed to think that she was just an ordinary village woman and that war and war were far away from her.

Meeting her expectant eyes, Qin Yaoguang nodded: "Yes."

"Your Highness, please wait a moment."

Su Bai called another young female general and asked her to bring Qin Yaoguang to the reviewing stand.

Along the way, the word "curiosity" was clearly written on the female general's face.

Qin Yaoguang looked at her with a smile on his lips: "Whatever you want to ask, just ask."

The female general grew up in the valley and knew little about the outside world.

She had only heard from her predecessors that this army was a secret force personally commanded by the Queen Mother, but apart from daily drills, she did not notice any difference.

"Are you here to take us out to fight?" she asked.

Qin Yaoguang shook his head: "No."

She would not choose all-out war unless it was absolutely necessary.

If that day really comes, how many complete families will be left in this peaceful mountain village?
