Hunting system, and I ended up becoming the empress!

These princes of the Northern Barbarians are all tough guys. I wonder if Xiao Kui will be angered to death by the impending chaos?

He boasted that he was in control of the situation, but he forgot that he was an old lion and the cubs had grown up with sharp claws, and were all waiting for this opportunity to compete.

She didn't have time to go to the South tonight, so she suppressed her worries and worked honestly during the day, handling various affairs in the Northern State.

News from Mu Wan continued to arrive.

After she arrived in Xiazhou, she left other matters to Gu Tianyang and immersed herself in the construction of the women's army.

The first thing she did was to rush to Xining Pass to visit her family, and after a touching conversation, she immediately asked for money and territory.

The younger generations of the Mu family immediately changed their expressions and ran away.

Mu An couldn't run because his arms were tied, and Mu Liangyi couldn't run because his legs and feet were not convenient.

The father and son accepted their fate with a wry smile.

Mu Wan was not cold and indifferent in front of her family, and showed her daughter's attitude, "Dad, Grandfather, Wan'er's female army is so poor, there are only 98 people, and they are all poor girls. They have no family and rely on Wan'er to survive."

"Look, shouldn't you help Wan'er take care of them?"

Mu An coughed dryly.

Mu Liangyi's face was stern, and he subconsciously covered his beard, "Tell me, how much do you want?"

Mu Wan smiled sweetly, "There's no need for food and money. Prince Yuan Sheng will deliver them. I just want a piece of land for the garrison and a letter from my grandfather."

Mu Liangyi's eyes moved slightly, "What announcement?"

Mu Wan smiled, "A public notice calling on all the women in Xiazhou to join our Women's Army to defend our country!"

Mu An and Mu Liangyi remained silent, waiting for her to continue using her big move.

"The settlement fee for female soldiers is 35 taels per person, paid in one lump sum. After joining the army, they will receive at least 5 taels of salary per month. Those who kill the enemy will receive generous rewards."

"But they have to sign a written agreement with their families. They will then belong to our women's army and can take care of their families. However, their marriage and discharge will no longer be decided by their families. Each of our women's army members will become a female household, and the women's army will be responsible for the compensation and resettlement of their injuries."

In other words, it was equivalent to selling oneself to the women's army, but not becoming a slave, because one could decide for oneself the major events in life in the future.

There are many injustices in this world towards women. This is what Xiao Zhixing can do for them. It depends on whether they dare to take this step.

Of course, more girls may be sold to the female army by their families. The huge sum of thirty-five taels of silver can allow a family of five to have a few good years and also buy a few acres of fertile land. The temptation is too great.

But isn't this saving the girls?

As for whether those family members would go back on their word, Xiao Zhixing was not a soft-hearted person.

As for whether the girls will be soft-hearted?

It is wise to start brainwashing after joining the women's army.

Knowing that there is a chance for a new life, who wouldn’t want to live freely?

If she really can't be saved, then there is nothing we can do. Respect her fate and never force it.

Even the savior cannot save those with holes in their brains.

After hearing Mu Wan's words, Mu Liangyi and the others fell silent.

The first thought was, is Xiao Zhixing so rich?

Once this notice is sent out, many families in Xiazhou who are starving will send their daughters here.

This is an astronomical sum of money.

Girls from poor civilian families were already cheap and could be sold for thirty-five taels of silver. Even though they knew they might die in battle, there were still cruel people who would do that.

Some girls even sell themselves to save their families.

Mu Wan urged, "Grandfather, just tell me if it's okay?"

Mu Liangyi sighed, "Wan'er, with such a big commotion, Grandfather is worried that you can't handle it. Grandfather is old and afraid that he can't protect you."

Not to mention Shengjing City, even Xiazhou will be in turmoil.

Those pedantic Confucian scholars will inevitably slander her. Once something goes wrong and the opposition is too loud, can he protect her?

Mu Wan's face was resolute, "Grandfather, Wan'er is not afraid. Wan'er is willing to be the pioneer and will not regret it even if she dies!"

With Xiao Zhixing supporting her from behind, she has nothing to worry about.

If you don't live a glorious life once in your life, won't you regret it when you die?

Mu Wan knew their worries, she winked and smiled slyly: "Grandfather, you don't have to protect me, I am the prince's man now."

If they have the guts, they can go find Xiao Zhixing and see if the prince will allow them to speak out.

Mu Wan felt extremely comfortable as soon as she said this. Is this the feeling of having a powerful backer?

Mu Liangyi and Mu An: ...

Well, what else can they say?

Indeed, Wan'er has now surrendered to Xiao Zhixing, and it would be bad if they interfere too much.

That's it.

As the recruitment notice for the women's army was posted, Xiazhou became lively.

In just half a month, nearly 20,000 girls joined the women's army, and they were carefully selected.

Those who were too young or in poor health were rejected.

This actually makes more people want to send girls to join.

The joys and sorrows of each family were of course different, but in general, the women's army was greatly expanded, eventually reaching 50,000 people.

Xiao Zhixing was waiting for Shengjing to reply and give her the right to negotiate. At the same time, she ordered Mu Wan to garrison in one place and concentrate on training troops.

She planned to go to the south in the evening, where there were two more subsystems to be dealt with.

Yin Yi suddenly sent a message, "Your Highness, Miss Li Ningxiu is suddenly seriously ill. Someone in Shengjing said that Master Li's fate was changed because he married Miss Qi and his first child did not survive. He may be unlucky in marriage."

Xiao Zhixing: …

Her mind raced, and she instantly thought of the conversation between Zhao Yunqi and the Emperor System.

Why do you think of them?

Didn't they make Li Jun the first choice for the crown prince?

And they planned to arrange marriage between the prince and themselves!

In this case, Li Jun could not get married for the time being, so Li Ningxiu fell seriously ill, confirming the fact that he was invincible, and naturally he took the initiative to cancel the engagement in order to save his life.

In order to prevent Li Jun from getting engaged again, this wife-killing fate is a good reason.

By the way, he also took advantage of Qi Mengshu.

Because Qi Mengshu was a member of the Xiao family, the Li family did not dare to divorce him. In addition, the death of his first child was suspicious, so the Li family did not dare to make it public.

I can only suffer the loss of being dumb.

The Li family will also wonder who is plotting against Li Jun. Are they trying to destroy the marriage between Li Jun and the Grand Tutor's Mansion?

Or is it simply to ruin Li Jun's reputation?

Then he had to find out his enemies. Who wanted to harm Li Jun?

No one would doubt the emperor.

When Xiao Zhixing figured this out, he concluded that it was Zhao Yunqi who was behind it.

She asked Yin Yi to focus on the matter and not to investigate it too much.

But I have to tell Li Wenxiu about this.

Unexpectedly, the girl clapped her hands and cheered, "It's good to cancel the engagement. My cousin was wronged by marrying him. Look, now he has brought bad luck to her. They are really not a good match!"

Xiao Zhixing shook his head and laughed, "Aren't you worried about your cousin?"

Li Wenxiu pouted, her eyes slightly red, "So what if I'm worried? My grandfather won't let me contact my family."

My cousin will be fine.

Xiao Zhixing patted her head and said, "Don't worry, she will be fine."

She will have people keeping an eye on her, and it will be more than enough to save Li Ningxiu, but she will have to suffer.

Li Wenxiu smiled and was completely relieved.

She was not stupid. She vaguely felt that the prince had some hostility towards Li Jun. In this case, she was relieved that her cousin and Li Jun broke off the engagement.

Thank God, she won't have to be caught in the middle anymore.

After Xiao Zhixing finished his work, he and Bai Feng flew to the south that night. Alas, what a hard life.
