As soon as Xiao Qirui finished speaking, the surroundings instantly fell silent. Even the soldiers who were originally wailing did not dare to make a sound.

Xiao Qirui had brought the imperial court’s army to Nanling Pass two months ago. At that time, the Wu Kingdom’s army would only occasionally send a few scouts to cause trouble. The local army did not take them seriously at all, and the imperial court soldiers were treated like outsiders.

Xiao Qirui was young, but he was on equal footing with General Meng the moment he arrived. Naturally, they were unconvinced.

Even Meng Wu thought that Xiao Qirui was here to split the power.

It was not that Xiao Qirui did not Imow, but with a powerful enemy in front of him, he did not want to cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, he had never fussed over small matters.

This was the first time everyone had seen him embarrass the Meng family in the two months he had been here.

Tears slowly welled up in Meng Linlang’s eyes. She looked at Xiao Qirui with tears in her eyes. “Brother Xiao, you…”

Song Huan dug her ears. “Hey, are some people deaf or can’t understand human language? Call them General Xiao.”

Meng Linlang glared at her. “You!”

“Call me Lieutenant Song,” Song Huan reminded her kindly.

Meng Linlang was speechless. She scolded angrily, ‘Who do you think you are? With a single sentence, my father can make you…”

“Shut up.” A stern voice sounded behind her.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in armor walking over angrily.

There was a soldier beside her. He was the one who had listened to Xiao Qirui’s instructions to look for Young General Meng.

However, this woman was not Young General Meng.

“Second Sister, he bullied me. Hurry up and get someone to capture him.”

Before Meng Linlang could finish, her hands were grabbed by the female soldiers Meng Linyan had brought.

“Second Sister, what are you doing?” She widened her eyes in disbelief.

Meng Linyan ignored her and cupped her hands at Xiao Qirui. “General Xiao, my sister is insensible. I’ll take her away now.”

Xiao Qirui nodded and looked at the surrounding soldiers who did not dare to breathe loudly. He shouted, “What are you waiting for? Go do what you need to do. ”

With that, he ignored the two sisters of the Meng family. He glanced at Song Huan and turned to leave.

Song Huan understood and made a face at Meng Linlang, whose face had turned red from anger. She jogged after Xiao Qirui.

“Ah! Second Sister, look at her!” If not for the fact that she was being held up,

Meng Linlang would definitely have rushed up to fight Song Huan to the death.

Meng Linyan looked unhappily at the figure who was walking behind Xiao Qirui. She turned around and instructed someone to send Meng Linlang into the carriage before following her.

Meng Linlang was furious. “Let go of me.”

Meng Linyan instructed, “Go outside and guard us.”

After the two female soldiers left, she looked at Meng Linlang coldly. “Didn’t

Father say that you’re not allowed to come to the pass again? Who let you out?”

“No one let me out. I came by myself.”

Meng Linyan glanced at her. “If you lie again, I’ll send you to Father. You can explain it to him yourself.”

Panic flashed across Meng Linlang’s face. She said angrily, “Alright, it’s fine if you don’t help me teach that brat Song a lesson, but you even used Father to suppress me. Father did say that he wouldn’t let me come to the pass, but we’re both daughters of the Meng family. Why are you allowed to come here?”

At this point, she paused for a moment and continued with a sneer, “Don’t you want to know who let me out? Let me tell you, Mother opened the door for me and instructed the coachman to send me over.”

“Hmph, aren’t you going to complain to Father? Then go ahead. If Mother gets scolded by Father, it’ll be your fault.”

Meng Linyan clenched her fists and took a deep breath. “I’m allowed to come to the pass because I’m willing to fight the enemy. Do you dare to do the same?”

The women at the border were not like the daughters of wealthy families in the capital who stayed at home, nor did they have so many rules.

This was especially true for the children of military families. Most of them had been training with their fathers and brothers since they were young.

However, Meng Linlang was different because Madam Meng was a woman who had come from the back residence. Under her influence, Meng Linlang had liked to learn from those well-bred young ladies since she was young. She did not expect the environment to be like this. In the end, she learned nothing.

Now, she couldn’t even lift a knife, let alone go to the battlefield.

Meng Linlang choked. “You…”

“I won’t send you to Father, but sooner or later, someone will report that you’re here. You can either return to Qingyang City immediately, or think about what to say, so that you won’t implicate Mother when you see Father.” Meng Linyan glanced at her. “Also, it’s best not to mention that you’re here for General Xiao.

He doesn’t like you at all..’
