Indeed!
Because the soldiers were unconditionally loyal to him, Qin Feng had not been concerned with the specifics since entering Zhuo County.
But not inquiring didn't mean these matters didn't exist!
The daily affairs of ten thousand men!
Especially in a place with underdeveloped conditions like ancient times.
Seeing the murderous look in Li Xiuning's eyes, Qin Feng knew how tired she was.
"Um...!"
Qin Feng, feeling a bit guilty, rubbed his nose and solemnly promised:
"Xiuning, don't worry, I'll find someone to replace you today!"
"Heh heh..."
Li Xiuning smiled noncommittally, not holding out any hope.
"My lord, as your strategist, it's normal for me to help you manage things."
"But I am a woman after all, and I can't truly connect with the soldiers. Over time, it might affect the army's combat effectiveness."
"You should find a suitable general as soon as possible!"
"Don't worry, don't worry..."
Qin Feng, quickly opening his system inventory, said with determination:
"Today, today!"
"I, your lord, will definitely find a suitable candidate for you today!"
"Really?"
Seeing Qin Feng's solemn expression, Li Xiuning was a little suspicious.
"You're not going to find just anyone to get by, are you?"
"If that's the case, I might as well hold on for a couple more days!"
"How could that be!"
Taking out the general card from the beginner's gift package, Qin Feng said confidently:
"Don't worry!"
"Although not a peerless famous general, it's enough to manage those guys."
As he spoke, Qin Feng silently recited the command to use the general summon card in his mind.
"Ding~!"
"Respected host, Random General Summon Card (Purple) x1... Use successful!"
"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained: The Yang Family Generals..."
"Huh?!"
Hearing this, Qin Feng's eyes lit up, and his smile widened.
It's settled!
These are the Yang Family Generals!
Whether it's the seventh or sixth son, their martial prowess can dominate an era!
However,
Qin Feng was a little confused. This was only a purple card, and according to logic, it shouldn't summon anyone too powerful.
Could it be some of the less prominent Yang Family Generals?
Never mind!
The entire Yang family was loyal and righteous. Whoever came would be fine.
However,
Before Qin Feng could recover from his surprise, he heard the system continue:
"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained: Yang Family Generals, the Yang Women Generals... Yang Bamei!"
...
[Yang Yanqi]
Alias: Yang Bamei
Ranked eighth among the Yang Women Generals, hence called Yang Bajie/Bamei. She is intelligent, eloquent, daring, and her talents are evident.
Martial Prowess: 94
Command: 92
Intelligence: 87
Politics: 84
Skills: Yang Family Spear Technique, Horsemanship, Saber Technique, Formation...
Special Attribute: Heroine (Martial prowess randomly increases by 1-5 points during duels.)
Special Attribute: Female General (When commanding an army, morale increase of 30%, combat effectiveness increase of 20%.)
...
"???"
"This..."
Looking at the attribute table before him, Qin Feng's smile instantly froze.
Yang, Yang Women Generals?!
No!
Although Yang Bamei's attributes were also very good, this wasn't what he wanted!
Damn system, what about the Yang Family Generals we agreed on?!
"Heh..."
Hearing Qin Feng's questioning, the system let out a faint scoff.
"You want Yang Family Generals from a purple card? Are you not awake or what?"
"I..."
Qin Feng, already feeling depressed, was choked speechless.
It's deliberate!
This damn system is definitely deliberate!
Two consecutive cards were for girls. Qin Feng didn't believe the system wasn't doing it on purpose!
But why?
Could it be... to force him to go to the battlefield himself?
"You're overthinking it!"
Facing Qin Feng's questioning, the system said with pity:
"I just saw that you've been single for so many years and wanted to give you some benefits within the rules!"
"???"
Hearing the system's explanation, Qin Feng almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
What the heck?!
I, I've been single for so many years, so what?
Did I eat your rice?
Damn it!
Knowing that I've been single for so many years, you still keep bringing girls around me.
Isn't this asking for trouble?
If I could handle girls, would I still be single for so long?
"This..."
Hearing Qin Feng's inner monologue, the system was also a little dumbfounded.
It seems so, doesn't it?
There's a reason this guy has been single for so many years.
A typical case of having the heart but not the courage!
Li Xiuning is so beautiful with those long legs, and not only does he not ask her to warm his bed, he even asks her to manage the army.
It's only been a few days?
She's literally gotten thinner by several pounds from exhaustion.
Simply not human!
But giving him girls is the limit. The system can't exactly pull his pants down and force him, right?
That wouldn't be proper!
So,
While Qin Feng was lamenting his fate, the system, which was always considering the host, was also a little depressed.
How difficult is it for a system to have a tsundere host?
...
The Prefectural Governor's Mansion,
The main hall,
Li Xiuning, who had been waiting there with curiosity, had a darkened expression on her face.
"My lord~!"
Looking at the tall, young girl with a long spear on her back, Li Xiuning gritted her teeth and said,
"Th-this... this is the Zhuo County guard general you found?"
"Ahem~!"
Qin Feng, who had just snapped back to reality, instantly blushed and waved his hand with a sheepish grin,
"Xi-Xiuning, would you believe me if I said this was a misunderstanding?"
"I believe you!"
After nodding her small head forcefully, Li Xiuning turned around and walked out.
"I still have military affairs to attend to, so I won't disturb your highness's leisure!"
"Don't, don't..."
Qin Feng instinctively reached out and stopped Li Xiuning, quickly appeasing her,
"Xiuning, well, actually, we don't need to do everything ourselves, right?"
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
Li Xiuning didn't really want to leave. She crossed her arms, pouted, and said,
"If you don't handle it, and I don't manage it, should we just hand it over to those people in Zhuo County?"
"Hmm?"
Qin Feng's mind was racing, and his eyes lit up at her words.
"That's not a bad idea!"
"What?"
"I said it's not impossible to let the Zhuo County officials handle it!"
"..."
Li Xiuning gave Qin Feng a speechless look, a mix of exasperation and amusement on her face.
"Let them manage the army?"
"Don't joke around!"
"My lord, aren't you afraid they'll seize control of the army?"
"Heh~!"
Thinking of the system's loyalty setting, Qin Feng's lips curved slightly.
"Xiuning, you don't understand!"
"If they dare to do that, they might as well round up all the unruly elements at the same time."
"Uh?"
Seeing that Qin Feng wasn't joking, Li Xiuning's brows furrowed.
"My lord, are you serious?"
"Of course!"
"But..."
"Don't worry!"
Sensing Li Xiuning's concern, Qin Feng held her fair, tender hand and calmly comforted her,
"I'm not an idiot, am I? Would I do something I'm not sure about?"
"Is that so?"
Li Xiuning glanced at the bewildered Yang Bamei and shrugged noncommittally.
It was clear,
After dealing with an unreliable Zhuo County guard general, Li Xiuning no longer fully trusted her lord's decisions.
