Chapter 165 Growth
The audience could clearly see Lan Ning's growth and changes.
From being timid at the beginning to having an increasingly determined look in his eyes.
After the female general died in battle, Lan Ning resolutely took over the duties of the female general and led a group of female soldiers to guard the border and fight a bloody battle with the enemy.
"We don't know how long it will take for the imperial court to support us. What we face today is that we may be isolated and helpless! In the past, we women could only stay in the back house and could not step out of the house, let alone have the opportunity to join the army or become an official."
"It was the general who used his wisdom and hard work, endured the cold stares and disapproval, and withstood the pressure, step by step, to buy us the opportunity to join the army!"
"Now we are wearing this armor bought with the blood and bones of our companions. We must not retreat! If the country is destroyed, how can there be a home? Women can also stand tall and proud."
"We will never let the enemy set foot in our Central Plains!"
"Fight to the last soldier!"
The armor on Lan Ning emitted a silver light under the sun, making her look like a sharp sword shining with cold light.
The female soldiers behind him all had fearless expressions on their faces, and the words they shouted were so loud that they almost broke the sky.
They originally had no choice, and they could see the end of their life from the moment they were born.
Yes, someone.
He fought for them to have the opportunity to join the army.
Yes, there is someone.
Guide them to pick up swords and guns.
Yes, there is someone.
Stand in front of them and guide them towards another path. Compared to getting married and having children, they want to realize their own value and try their best.
Now that the female general has died in battle, it is their turn to fight.
"Fight to the last soldier!"
"Fight to the last soldier!"
"Fight until..."
This part of the drama is extremely exciting, from Lan Ning's initial despair and collapse, her mind full of pain and resentment of being abandoned by her husband, to the end, when she stands in the vast snow, facing the corpses on the ground.
What about love, what about family affairs, what about not being a good daughter-in-law, not being a good wife and mother, all these, at that moment, were so insignificant and ridiculous.
She suddenly didn't want to miss the days when she was married anymore.
Watching the enemy troops charge across the border, watching companions die one by one, watching women fight hard for their country and themselves, watching the status of women gradually rise and gain recognition and respect from this era.
She suddenly came to her senses, worked hard to build up her physical strength, and rushed forward with a knife, creating a new world for herself.
The curtain slowly fell amid the excitement of the crowd, and this time the curtain did not rise again, indicating that the play had ended.
But the audience below the stage was already fascinated by the show and couldn't help but want to shout along with the female soldiers on the stage.
Miss Lu stood up excitedly and wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief.
At this moment, she seemed to understand something...
what is it then?
What she wanted from the beginning to the end was just a choice! She was not told from the moment she was born that she would get married and be filial to her parents-in-law and not fight back when they beat and scolded her.
You have to be docile, obedient, and do this and that.
"Did you see that last scene?"
"Some of the female soldiers gave birth to children, but when they left, the children looked at their mothers with admiration, as if they were looking at a hero. I have never seen such eyes..."
"It turns out that women can also go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and defend their country... The power gap is so huge, can they really do it?"
