I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

"I wouldn't say I feel heartbroken, I just think it's funny." Lin Jin curled her lips. She didn't feel heartbroken. If you want to do big things, you have to endure what ordinary people can't endure.

She didn't know whether those who achieved great things were particular about details or not, but she knew that they must have extraordinary endurance and self-control in some aspect.

"I used to think that Song Shiqiu got all the good things, but it turns out he deserves them all." Fang Yuzhu joked. Although she was in charge of the imperial examination for women, the real power was still in the hands of Song Shiqiu. She occasionally had to endure Song Shiqiu's anger, and only then did she feel that she had vented her anger.

Lin Jin: "Are you scolding me or him? If you scold him, don't scold me, okay?"

"No way. Why do you have a comfortable life while I work so hard every day?" Fang Yuzhu only realized how many unpleasant things there were after she became a female official. She could only vent when she had a day off.

"Tell me honestly, who lives a comfortable life every day?" Lin Jin couldn't believe what she heard. If she felt comfortable like this, she might have to turn into a spinning top. "You just talk nonsense. If you say that, why don't you follow me for a day tomorrow and see if you feel comfortable."

Fang Yuzhu snorted and said angrily, "I don't want to. I have to run for a whole day and my feet will hurt so much."

Lin Jin: “…”

The north was covered in snow, but the trees in the south were still evergreen. Ever since Lin Lin improved the farming habits and various seeds in the south, every household in Lingnan wore cotton clothes, and there was no need for the government to provide porridge in winter because everyone had surplus food.

Lin Lin drank a bowl of hot wine and took a nap on the soft couch by the window. There was a charcoal basin lit in the room, so it didn't feel too cold even with the window open.

"Princess, that girl sent a coat, saying that she embroidered it herself... She will leave Lingnan today." The maid saw that Lin Lin's eyelids moved, but she still didn't open her eyes. She knelt on the ground and didn't dare to speak.

Lin Lin hummed as if he was half asleep and half awake: "Are the guards you hired from Jiang'an Escort Agency?"

"I haven't heard the girl say this." The maid lowered her head.

"Put on your coat and go to Jiang'an Escort Agency. Ask them to follow her. It's enough as long as she's alive." Lin Lin turned over, as if he was going to sleep.

The maid looked at the exquisite embroidery and beautiful patterns on the coat, and couldn't believe that such a beautiful coat was given to her: "Yes, I will go right away."

Lin Lin opened his eyes slightly, looked at the coat, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

No matter what.

She looked at the hairpin with peony flowers. She didn't know if Lin Jin was still in Taiyuan Prefecture, but she seemed to have seen the generator the last time she went to Taiyuan Prefecture.

Lin Lin sat up with a sleepy look. What's the point of working on the generator? If the South-to-North Water Diversion Project was so easy, would it take so many years to complete? It was really unrealistic and overestimating one's own capabilities. Without any professional equipment, and with only these half-baked people, they still wanted to control water. It would be a dream without several generations.

"Bring me some paper and pen." She leaned her head forward, wanting to sleep or not.

The route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and the details of the water pumps used at each checkpoint were drawn one by one, and even the conditions of each layer of the land were clearly written down.

Lin Jin didn't know she was thinking this way. Even if she knew, she would probably just fight back. She had to give it a try whether it worked or not.

With Xianglian's warning, Xi Lilong immediately changed his tactics. Instead of taking the ancient road, he took the small path on the east side. Although the path was rugged, it was easy to hide his figure.

But just halfway through, Xi Lilong realized something was wrong and hurriedly pulled the reins. The flags behind him shook a few times, indicating that there might be a trap ahead and everyone should not move.

"General Xi, why don't you leave?" The person who asked was the chief general of the guard.

"Something is wrong. Although it's a small path, we shouldn't..." Before Xi Lilong finished speaking, a series of loud noises came from the mountain. Rocks were blown apart, and large and small pieces of rubble fell down one after another. "It's a trap. Retreat quickly!"

But just as they were about to retreat, a muffled sound suddenly came from the ground in the middle of the army, and the people scattered like the rocks that had been blown apart.

"Gunpowder horn, the barbarian country has really joined forces with the Turks." Xi Lilong didn't have time to think about it. The series of explosions didn't give her time to think too much. She could only quickly find a place to hide and wait for the explosion to pass.

The gunpowder barrel caught Xi Lilong and his men by surprise, and its power was indeed huge. In just an instant, one-tenth of the people on their side were reduced, and many of them were injured.

"Capture them alive!" The Turkic soldiers appeared in front of them as if they were assisted by gods, with the beast flag flying. "You cowards of Daxia, surrender and let the women fight. Your men are all weak-kneed!"

Xi Lilong gritted his teeth and said in a voice like a devil from hell: "Kill!"

So many of their sisters died before the battle even started.

Xi Lilong took the lead, pulling the bow to its full length. Her anger made her strength surge. The sharp arrow from three hundred steps away broke through the air and took the head of the opposing commander. She threw the bow and arrow to other sharpshooters behind her, and holding the spear in her hand, she was like a killer star descending to the earth, killing gods and Buddhas.

The Turks did not expect that Xi Lilong was not scared away by the battle just now. Instead, she led the Yuanyang Army to fight more and more bravely. The Turkish generals were a little horrified and did not understand how a woman could have such a strong murderous aura.

The most important thing in war is morale. The morale of Daxia was not reduced, but was instead filled with hatred. Each of them was braver than before, and they were actually a little weaker than the Turkic side with more than 10,000 people in a head-on confrontation.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Turkic general was about to retreat, but Xi Lilong would not let him get away. She loosened the pressure of her spear and changed it to a stabbing attack, directly piercing the heart of the Turkish general. She could not pull out her spear, so she simply picked up her double maces, stood up from her horse, and stepped on the weapons and heads of the Turkish soldiers to chase the Turkish general.

"General!" Xi Lilong's personal guards were horrified and swung their weapons even more vigorously, intending to rush to Xi Lilong to protect her.

"You bastard! Give me your life!" Xi Lilong met the other party's panicked gaze and used one mace to block the opponent's iron spear, and the other mace to directly knock off the opponent's head. She was very strong, and even with a helmet, she still made the opponent see stars.

She knocked him off his horse and snatched the horse, then rode over him. She wielded her double maces with great power, and was not inferior to the Turks. The guards and personal soldiers soon came to her side, and the Turkic leader who had avoided Xi Lilong's arrows was eventually killed under the horse's hooves.

The Turks were frightened by Xi Lilong's desperate fighting style, and with their main general killed in battle, they fled in all directions. The Yuanyang Army wanted to chase them, but Xi Lilong ordered his troops to retreat.

"Don't chase the desperate enemy to prevent them from ambushing." Xi Lilong looked back at the blown-up mountain on the mountain path. Those soldiers of the Yuanyang Army who were killed in the explosion were the first to die. Most of them were trampled into meat paste during the battle.

Xi Lilong closed his eyes and asked them to clean up the battlefield and count the number of people after returning to the camp. He then used the excuse of going to the bathroom to calm down alone.

"General Xi, there will always be life and death on the battlefield." The commander of the guard army hesitated to speak, and finally just said one sentence and sighed.

"They died unjustly." As Xi Lilong finished speaking, a sound of earth-shaking was heard, but the sound was far away.

“It looks like it’s coming from the direction of the ancient road.”

Xi Lilong gritted his teeth and said, "This time, we must destroy the Turkic beasts! We can no longer let them retire to the north to recuperate."
