Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

Jia Cheng naturally knew what to do to maximize Chen Shouye's desire to win.

What's more, he had just been beaten up by his own father.

"Yes."

A carrier pigeon landed on the windowsill. Jia Cheng hurried over, untied the note from the pigeon's feet, and handed it to Gu Xingyan with both hands.

After reading it, Gu Xingyan curled his lips slightly.

The next morning, the two did not accompany Yang Luo into the palace, but went to the military camp.

On this day, the Canglang Army began recruiting new soldiers.

Li Shuangwan submitted a memorial to Gu Xingcheng a few days ago, asking him to agree to recruit a female army in the Canglang Army, with a tentative plan to recruit 1,000 people.

After reading the memorial, Gu Xingcheng approved it without any hesitation.

Not only did he ask the Ministry of Revenue to allocate enough silver, but he also built a separate military camp two miles away from the men's barracks.

The notice was immediately sent to all parts of Daliang.

When Li Shuangwan and Gu Xingyan rode to the military camp, it was only two quarters past three in the morning, but a long line of new recruits had already formed outside the camp.

Looking from afar, there was a dark mass that seemed to have no end in sight.

Of course there are women here too.

Li Shuangwan had thought that not many women would come to sign up, and since it had only been a few days, many notices had not even arrived yet. But at a glance, there were more than a thousand people!

When Li Shuangwan saw this scene, his eyes lit up. The horse under his crotch seemed to feel his master's excitement and kicked back and forth.

Gu Xingyan smiled as he looked at the girl beside him: "It seems that recruiting 5,000 people is not a problem."

"There are so many people, Xingyan, why are there so many women here?"

"Brother, the decree that women can enter the government and the military was not just a casual remark. It was announced to the entire Daliang several months ago."

It turned out to be the case.

Gu Xingyan took out the note sent by the carrier pigeon yesterday and handed it to Li Shuangwan.

"what?"

Gu Xingyan raised his eyebrows: "Open it and take a look."

"So mysterious."

But when he saw what was written on the note, every pore of Li Shuangwan's body seemed to be filled with happiness.

If they hadn’t been in the military camp and the two of them hadn’t ridden their horses yet, Li Shuangwan really wanted to jump up and hug Gu Xingyan.

"Xingyan, Lord Wu is so fast. When we left, we asked him to gather those persecuted women and find something for them to do. I didn't expect that he would set up so many embroidery and weaving workshops so quickly."

"Are you relieved now?"

Li Shuangwan nodded vigorously. At that time, the two cities were lost and tens of thousands of women were raped by Zhaoguo soldiers.

After the two cities were recovered, some of those whose family members were still alive were taken back home by their families.

But more are homeless again.

Some women who have families are even forced to die because their families have lost their virginity, calling them shameless and bringing disgrace to their ancestors.

Li Shuangwan was afraid that there might be a woman here who couldn't figure it out or was desperate and would really hang herself.

Now that they have something to do, they have the skills to survive and will no longer be depressed.

"Great, now I can rest assured."

The two men dismounted.

Gu Xingyan turned sideways and rubbed her head: "Let's go and take a look."

"Marshal, General Shu!" He Si was busy as hell. When he looked up, he saw the two of them coming. He ran towards them with sweat all over his forehead.

He pointed at the long line and said, "Marshal, General Shu, look, I didn't expect so many people to come. We are recruiting 50,000 new soldiers. At this rate, we will be able to recruit enough soldiers in less than ten days."

Gu Xingyan patted He Si's shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

He Si smiled innocently: "It's not hard."

Following Marshal Gu, the whole person became more energetic. Unlike before when he was in the Twenty-four Guards Battalion, the soldiers did not act like soldiers, but rather like scoundrels.

At this time, Li Shuangwan saw several familiar figures in the crowd.

Those people tried their best to lower their heads, and some even turned their heads away.

Gu Xingyan also followed her gaze.

He Si saw their expressions and looked over: "What's wrong?"

Li Shuangwan said: "It was Lu He and those girls who were in the governor's mansion in Rangcheng."

It was they who led He Si and others to burn down Zhao State's arsenal, and after the war, they helped everyone clean up the battlefield.

When He Si heard this, his expression changed slightly: "Why are they here?"

"Not only Lu He and the others, many of the women here are from Rangcheng and Yongzhou."

It seems that these girls had secretly come to Sijiu City before Wu Peikun opened his embroidery and weaving workshops.

He Si pursed his lips and said, "Marshal, General Shu, I have to go and get busy first."

"Ah."

Gu Xingyan saw Li Shuangwan laughing secretly: "What's wrong?"

"We will be leaving for Northern Jin in two days. I was wondering who will be in charge of the training of the women's army, even though we have recruited them, since I have not been in Sijiu City for the past six months."

"Red Frost."

Hong Shuang, who was following behind Li Shuang Wan, said hurriedly: "Master, Princess, I want to go to Bei Jin with you."

Li Shuangwan had never wanted to take her with him, but he said, "When you were at Bishuiquan Villa, there were many dignitaries in Shengjing who knew you."

If Hongshuang is recognized, she will be in danger.

Hong Shuang shook her head: "I have asked Miss Luo for some medicine and applied it on my face. I guarantee that even if they stare at my face, they won't be able to recognize me."

Besides, her original seductiveness was also fake.

"no problem?"

"Princess, aren't you very clear about Miss Luo's medical skills?"

Li Shuangwan smiled and said the same.

When she first arrived in Shengjing and entered the palace, she took the medicine given to her by Luo Luo and applied it on her face. So when she entered the palace last time, the empress dowager and His Majesty thought that Gu Xingyan was fickle and had changed his wife.

It would be bad if Yanyan didn't have a servant who knew martial arts by her side. Gu Xingyan nodded: "Then let's leave it to He Si first."

Li Shuangwan thought about it and felt that it was feasible.

"You go ahead and do your work. I'll go check out the women's recruitment office, too."

Gu Xingyan watched Li Shuangwan leave.

In the afternoon, Shu Wenbo, Liang Tianyou and Cui Jingyu compiled the entire list of names of the fallen soldiers and their family situations and brought them to him.

In this battle, 100,000 soldiers were sacrificed in Rangcheng, 50,000 in Huaizhou City, and the Canglang Army lost more than 50,000 soldiers and more than 20,000 were injured in the battle with Ava.

Although soldiers above the rank of centurion have also been doing this during this period, the amount of pension silver to be distributed to each person still needs to be reviewed by Gu Xingyan.

After a busy whole day, when I got home, the moon was already above the willow branches.

Gu Xingyan realized that there was something he had forgotten to tell Li Shuangwan.

Li Shuangwan was also exhausted. After dinner, he soaked in the bathtub.

Hongshuang was guarding the door.

However, not long after, Li Shuangwan noticed someone approaching the window.

"who!"

Li Shuangwan quickly stood up from the bathtub, without having time to wipe off the water stains on his body.

He tore off his moon-white nightgown and put it on, tied the belt around his waist, and held a dagger in his hand.

The movements are smooth and smooth, done in one go.

It was at this moment that a man climbed in through the window.

Li Shuangwan was extremely fast. When he dodged to the window sill, the dagger was already against the man's neck.
