Yan Qiuling was anxious. He gritted his teeth and hurriedly got up from the ground, then knelt in front of Shen Lanxi again.

"General, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Please save my sister!"

Shen Lanxi stared at him dimly: "You are kneeling here now, not because you are afraid, but because you see that they all listen to me!"

Yan Qiuling's pupils trembled. How could she know?

Shen Lanxi: "You know women so well, and the one who gave you advice and asked you to complain is also a woman, right?"

"Let me guess who it is? Your eldest sister Yan Qiuyu? No, Yan Qiuyu is dead. It should be your second sister, Yan Qiulian."

Yan Qiuling could no longer conceal the surprised expression on his face. He stared blankly at the person in front of him who was chatting and laughing, but whose every word could nail him to death.

There really is someone in the world who is more powerful than the second sister, and he is right in front of him!

"Yan Qiulian, the second wife of Zhang Shi, the commander of Yanyun Pass, gave birth to a son for Zhang Shi two years ago. The couple lives in harmony and is in perfect harmony!"

Shen Lanxi couldn't help but smile sarcastically after she finished speaking.

Yan Qiuling saw that he could no longer hide it, so he made up his mind and said with the determination to die: "Not long after I was sent out by the old soldier, my second sister's people found me. She settled me in a place very close to the garrison, and every time she searched the city, she couldn't find me!"

Being able to use this trick of hiding in plain sight shows that Yan Qiulian is a woman who understands military tactics.

"My second sister said, she said, you must be very powerful as a woman in charge of the army. Women are soft-hearted. If I come like this, you will definitely believe me!"

Shen Lanxi looked at Yan Qiuling and exposed him again: "Your sister must have told you that I have many backers."

Yan Qiuling lowered his head quickly, not daring to let anyone see the shock on his face. His sister did say this, how did she know?

"It doesn't matter. People have always been speculating about women in charge of the army. I just want to ask you a question." He also asked Yan Qiulian a question.

"If I send troops, I will kill her husband and her children will also be implicated. Can she be so cruel?"

Yan Qiuling stared at the ground in a daze. That was his family's blood feud, how could he not take revenge?

My sister can find another husband if she loses him, but what about the child?

Although Yan Qiuling is only eight years old, he has already experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature and understands more than ordinary children.

Which parent doesn’t love their own children? What if the second sister is soft-hearted?

Shen Lanxi: "You are just a child, I won't make things difficult for you. Tell this to your second sister, I will only give you one day!"

Yan Qiuling looked at her deeply, then staggered away, holding his chest, running faster and faster.

She thought she would have to wait till the last minute to get the answer or that she would never get the answer, but unexpectedly, someone sent her something that night.

The body of a child!

Wei Dongzhu stopped her from looking and just told her the situation.

"It's obvious that the kid was raised in a wealthy family, and he's wearing two gold bracelets on his wrists!" If that's true, Yan Qiulian is too cruel.

Ban Si Cao also came forward to check, and after checking, he said: "There are no injuries on the body, poison was used!"

Shen Lanxi felt depressed.

"Find a coffin for the body... and find a good place to bury it!" Even if this child was alive, he would be a thorn in Yan Qiulian's heart.

Early the next morning, Yan Qiuling came again. After negotiations, Shen Lanxi agreed to send troops to help the Yan family retake Yanyun Pass.

"General, my sister said that Zhang Shi should die the same way my father died!" Yan Qiuling's little face was full of hatred.

Shen Lanxi: "Sure!"

Yanyun Pass, which had not been hit by horse bandits for a long time, suddenly started to be hit by horse bandits. The surrounding towns were looted within a day, and two villages were even massacred.

After the news was reported to Zhang Shi, he personally led his troops to suppress the rebellion. Soon they engaged the bandits in Fengkou Town, but were defeated and killed by them.

The horse bandits were ferocious. In order to avenge Zhang Shi, they rushed into the city gate and killed Zhang Shi's family. Zhang Shi's step-wife luckily escaped because she went to the city to buy cloth.

The attack outside the city was caused by the "horse bandits", and the attack in Zhang Shi's house was caused by Yan Qiulian.

"It happened that the Zhenbei Army passed by and killed all the horse bandits, but it was too late. General Zhang Shi had been killed by the horse bandits. Fortunately, Yanyun Pass had a successor. Although Yan Qiuling, the son of Yan Yunfei, the former commander of Yanyun Pass, was young, he was both civil and military, and already had the potential to be a great general. The wife of the late commander Zhang Shi was Yan Yunfei's only daughter. All the descendants of the Zhang family were killed by the horse bandits. From now on, Yanyun Pass will be handed over to Yan Yunfei's son Yan Qiuling to command, and his sister Yan Qiulian will assist..."

After Che Mingyuan finished reading the lengthy memorial, he put it away and stepped aside.

Shen Lanxi held up the Moon-Ban Knife and walked among the soldiers at Yanyun Pass, then shouted, "If anyone refuses to obey, stand up now."

"I'll shout three times. If no one of you stands up, Yan Qiuling will be the commander of Yanyun Pass from now on!"

"one…"

"two…"

"three…"

Shen Lanxi walked to the stage with a solemn face and looked down at the soldiers of Yanyun Pass.

"Your Majesty's decree, all the generals in the northwest are to obey my orders!"

"I have something to say in advance. If you listen to my instructions, you must follow my rules!"

"You will follow my rules. There will be no shortage of food and fodder!"

"Each of you will have an equal opportunity for promotion."

"Read my rules to the soldiers!"

The treasure of the Zhenbei Army, the military regulations that must be recited during daily inspections, were carried onto the stage.

Wei Dong began to read out the injunctions one by one: "Those who disobey military orders will be killed!"

"Those who molest women will be castrated!"

"Anyone who drinks alcohol in the army will have his hands chopped off!"

"Anyone who gambles in the army will have his hands chopped off!"

"Anyone in the army who spreads poetic rumors will have his tongue plucked out!"

"...divided into pieces by five horses!"

“…torn to pieces!”

With each point Wei Dongzhu recited, the skin of the soldiers at Yanyun Pass tightened a little. After he had recited ten points, those who had been standing with hunched backs before now stood as straight as poplars.

Having already been delayed at Yanyun Pass for two days, the Zhenbei Army must set off as soon as possible.

The Yan siblings sent Shen Lanxi out of the city gate.

"Even if I send you thousands of miles away, we will eventually part ways. So I'll just send you here!" Shen Lanxi looked at Yan Qiulian.

No wonder she was able to be married to Zhang Shi as his second wife, Yan Qiulian was extremely beautiful.

Yan Qiuling had a secret conversation with Shen Lanxi for an hour last night, and they reached a consensus.

She looked at the handsome face in front of her and smiled, "It's a pity that we have known each other for such a short time. If we had known each other for a longer time, we would definitely have become friends."

Shen Lanxi smiled and said, "Some people are just nodding acquaintances even if you have known each other for a lifetime."

The two looked at each other, and when their eyes met, they understood each other.

"I don't know when we will meet next time!" After all, the Northwest is too small. She has a premonition that once Shen Lanxi leaves, she will never come back.

Shen Lanxi smiled and said, "Next time I pass by here, I will definitely come and ask for a cup of tea!"

Yan Qiulian envied Shen Lanxi's free and easy style and courage. If she had been as capable as Shen Lanxi before, her family might not have died.

Yan Qiulian said solemnly: "If there is a need in the future, my Yan Family Army will definitely go all out!"

Shen Lanxi smiled: "Okay, I'll keep your words in mind. Get stronger quickly. If I really encounter difficulties one day, I will definitely not be polite to you!"
