Jiang Nongqin sneered while looking at his penis.

“You didn’t?”

Who would believe that?

Her glance made the soldier have somewhat of a reaction. His penis vaguely stiffened.

He was about to enjoy the beauty a while ago, but he never thought that the strong man would come in. He was frightened.

That was not all. Without giving him a chance to explain himself, the strong man dragged him away from the beauty. He was so scared that his penis was in a flaccid state.

“I really… really didn’t…” The soldier looked at his penis with deep embarrassment, and hurriedly pulled up his trousers that had gathered at his calves. He continued, “It’s obvious that this fool is framing me on purpose. I know that the military orders prohibit such acts, so why would I do such a thing?” the soldier vowed solemnly. However, the marks on his body were obviously abnormal. Jiang Nongqin shifted her gaze to the strong man and questioned him with her eyes.

The strong man kept a straight face and explained with some strain, “He has indeed violated the military order. However, the person in the cottage isn’t a woman, but a man.”

Upon hearing those words, the soldier suddenly said with confidence, “Lieutenant Jiang, did you hear that? I really didn’t violate the military order!”

Jiang Nongqin smirked. She took a few steps forward quickly, lifted her foot, and kicked the man in the face. She pinned the soldier down with her foot.

“Arrest him! He has violated the military orders. The lord will decide after the war!”

The soldier looked despaired upon hearing those words and continuously cried out for justice.

He did not do anything to the women. He just could not help himself when he saw a handsome man.

Was this also a violation of the military orders?

Jiang Nongqin lowered her eyelids with a terrifying chill in her eyes. “The military order states that one mustn’t commit adultery with the people. Who are the people? Could it be that you think that the people are just women and not men? Instead of repenting, you’re still trying to refute violating the military order. You’re doubly guilty! Drag him away.”

Two female soldiers stepped forward. The violator was still trying to resist.

At that moment, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulders and felt as if his arms had lost control. He could not even move his fingers, let alone struggle with his hands. His lower jaw was even broken by one of the female soldiers.

Jiang Nongqin looked at him in disgust. “Drag him away!”

Having encountered such an incident, Jiang Nongqin was in a bad mood, but she secretly approved of the female troops’ skilled means.

Although they were still young, their hands were not very strong. They had done a pretty good job.

After the soldier who made the mistake was dragged away like trash, Jiang Nongqin then had the time to look up at the brawny man who caught the soldier.

“What’s your name?”

She focused her gaze on the heads on the man’s shoulders and waist. She frowned.

“I’m Dian Yin, the new recruit in the third battalion.”

The brawny man lowered his head and looked respectful. However, he was a lot taller than Jiang Nongqin, so he looked like he was looking down at her.

Dian Yin?

The name sounded somewhat familiar.

Jiang Nongqin thought about it and finally remembered who Dian Yin was.

Li Yun paid special attention to the new recruit called Dian Yin. She asked him out of her curiosity, and he said that the lord had named Dian Yin was the one she wanted.

According to Jiang Pengji’s instructions, Dian Yin should be transferred to her side once the first stage of training for the new recruits had ended. However, Xiangyang District was preparing for war when the training for the new recruits had just ended. Li Yun transferred Dian Yin to the third battalion. He wanted to give him a chance to render meritorious service.

However… was he too honest?

Even Jiang Nongqin could not help but feel pins and needles upon seeing the heads on his back and waist.

Jiang Nongqin said, “You don’t have to chop off all their heads… The lord doesn’t like such a rough way…”

War was war, but there was no need to deliberately play havoc with the enemies’ corpses. First of all, there was no time for that. Secondly, it showed that one had too much time.

Dian Yin asked in a rough manner, “Isn’t one rewarded based on the number of heads chopped off?”

Jiang Nongqin could not help but laugh. She replied, “In the ancient times, there was an outstanding, famous warrior who could chop off thousands of heads by himself. However, merits aren’t calculated based on the number of heads chopped off. If so, what will happen if the troops behead the innocent people in order to deceive the others?”

Dian Yin could not answer. He just thought that the real fight was the same as the stories told in novels.

Dian Yin pondered. He unloaded the string of heads and threw them to the ground. The heads thudded depressingly when they hit the ground. However, he looked unperturbed. Many female soldiers felt a chill down their spines and wished they could be slightly further away from the scary, brawny man.

Was he not afraid when he ran around with so many heads hanging on his body?

It turned out that Dian Yin was really not afraid of it. He only felt that his anger had been worked off, especially when those heads belonged to the Tsing Yi Army.

“Okay, I get it,” Jiang Nongqin said. “This place has now been blockaded by the female soldiers, so men aren’t allowed to enter. You can leave now. As for the heads on the ground, you’re a brave man who doesn’t fear danger. Nobody can erase your meritorious service. I’ll mention you to the lord.”

Dian Yin did not need such a gesture, but since the lieutenant had spoken, he would accept it.

Ever since the unknown female soldier had nitpicked the entire new recruit battalion, Dian Yin who did not look down on women dared not underestimate women even more.

Taking the lieutenant just now as an example, even a person like Dian Yin would feel a chill in his bones when she stared at him.

It was a very subtle aura, commonly known as ominousness.

The others could not feel it, but the aesthesia of martial artists was far more acute than that of ordinary people.

The lieutenant was probably also a person who killed people like flies and had an immeasurable amount of blood on her hands. Otherwise, she could not have such a strong ominousness.

The Tsing Yi Army was routed. Jiang Pengji’s troops took the opportunity to broaden their victory.

They had captured all the members of the Tsing Yi Army who could be held captive. Those who could not be held captive were directly killed. Anyone who violated the military orders of the military camp would be taken away on the spot.

Wei Ci thought that conquering Chengan District would require a day’s time. In fact, it did not take long. They had only used up half a day.

The situation in the city was under control. Nine chieftains of the Tsing Yi Army were captured.

According to their confessions, another twelve people had escaped. Meng Hun and the others had already dispatched some soldiers to pursue them.

Jiang Pengji rode on Dabai into the city. The doors of the houses on the streets were still tightly shut. However, her aesthesia was extremely sensitive. She knew very well about how many pairs of eyes were observing the surrounding houses. She did not care about it. Anyway, Chengan District had already been conquered. This place would be hers.

Having gotten used to seeing the cleanliness and prosperity of Xiangyang District, the audience in the streaming room felt indescribably uncomfortable upon seeing Chengan District for the first time.

The contrast between the two was like the difference between a first-tier city and a small village in the mountains.

However, according to the previous contents of the stream, Chengan District was the most prosperous place in Fengyi County.

“How many captives are caught?” Jiang Pengji was welcomed into the district headquarters of Chengan District. It had been tidied up roughly, but there were still blood stains which were turning black on the ground. One could even find stumps and broken bones if he had a careful look. She sat in the front seat like she was unconcerned.

“Except for the members of the Tsing Yi Army who are slaughtered and those who have escaped from the other side of the city gate, there are a total of 1,800 captives.”

1,800 captives… Jiang Pengji’s army currently totaled up to nearly 10,000 people. There would be a huge expense if these captives were fed.

Wei Ci asked, “How do you plan to deal with them?”

“Is this even a question? I’ll just throw them to the mines. These members of the Tsing Yi Army don’t have decent behavior, so they’re not suitable to be recruited, so as not to destroy the ethos in the military camp.” Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows and casually said, “There are indeed iron ore veins in Xiangyang District. We just happen to lack mining workers…”
