Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 127 Prince
What's going on in Jiangbei?
Mei Qian learned from Chang An that the situation was indeed more difficult than she imagined.

"Because the Xirong cavalry is not good at mountain roads, our prince currently leads his troops to operate in hilly and mountainous areas, and they occupy a lot of land."

When Chang An talked about this matter, he looked proud, obviously very convinced of the prince he spoke of.

"Prince? Who is the prince in your family and what does he do?"

Mei Qian suddenly became curious about what kind of person Chang'an was who was still leading the people from Jiangbei to fight against Xirong despite not having crossed the river.

"Our prince is the youngest son of the late emperor. He was named King Yongning when he was just born."

"Oh~ I was given the title of king at birth, so I seem to be very favored~"

"Of course, our prince has been favored by the concubine and His Highness since he was a child."

Obtaining new keywords, Mei Qian said: "Isn't your prince the daughter of the queen?"

"The middle palace has always had nothing to do." Chang'an said, and then added, "The imperial concubine is deeply loved by your majesty!"

"Oh~ Then why can't I be the emperor of this Yongning King?"

Mei Qian and Chang'an were currently on a small broken ship. Mei Qian spoke without any scruples, "My mother was favored and she was crowned king when she was born. She seems to be a winner in life. Why did the late emperor pass away without passing the throne to Yongning?" king?"

Changan choked heavily this time.

He could hear the confusion in Mei Qian's tone, and said: "That's, that's because our prince was not in the capital at that time, and King Pingkang just... just..."

"Are you trying to say that the death of the late emperor was strange?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Chang An looked at Mei Qian as if he had seen a ghost. He did not expect that Mei Qian would be so bold and ask the question without hesitation.

Mei Qian has no scruples, but Chang'an does.

Mei Qian saw Chang'an's face changing again and again, and then she said:
"It's not something that we, the people, can talk about."

"Oh? Then you can't say that your Majesty is called Prince Pingkang, and he has become the emperor after all... Doesn't that mean you don't recognize this person?"

Although Mei Qian didn't agree with it. He ran away after becoming emperor and left Jiangbei in such a big mess. Now he was not happy that someone was continuing to clean it up. But when Chang An said this, Mei Qian thought on her toes that something was wrong in the first place.

As soon as Mei Qian finished speaking, Chang'an's face turned completely dark. He simply refused to communicate with Mei Qian. Mei Qian almost stopped laughing when she saw this.

She originally thought that this man was taciturn and honest because he was cautious, but she didn't expect that he just couldn't speak and his secrets were revealed when he opened his mouth.

Mei Qian stopped talking about this topic and started where she started before, sighing: "The plains in Jiangbei are all good places to grow food."

Mei Qian seems to be chatting casually, but this is indeed the biggest shortcoming in Jiangbei's current fight against the Xirong soldiers——

They are short of food.

Otherwise, we would not have taken such risks to continuously transport food from the south of the Yangtze River.

"Yes, the plain is a good place to grow food..." Chang'an lowered his eyelashes, "Sooner or later we will take it back."

"Such a good place is now occupied by the Xirong people, but it also gives them an advantage. In this case, why not wait until autumn and find an opportunity to send people to burn the grain in the fields."

"What did you say?"

Chang'an raised his head in shock, as if he didn't understand what Mei Qian just said.

"It's ruining the other party's food. Since they can't fight back for the time being, they will definitely plant the land they get. Aren't you stupid when someone with a full stomach comes to deal with you hungry ones?"

But Mei Qian just said it casually. After all, if this thing was really implemented, it would be quite difficult, and one would have to consider that the other party would end up in a hurry.

After Mei Qian finished speaking, she also realized this problem and added, "Just listen to this for fun, I'm just joking. It doesn't stand up to careful scrutiny."

"Indeed, there are still our Anguo people in the places occupied by Xirong. They destroy the fields at will, and they are the ones who suffer in the end."

Chang'an nodded, naturally not taking Mei Qian's words seriously. He also told the simplest fact. "The Xirong soldiers don't regard the people of Anguo as human beings. Even if they don't have enough food, there are still..."

When the words came to his lips, Chang An's eyes turned red and he stopped talking. However, Mei Qian immediately understood the meaning and asked:

"Do you want to say 'two-legged sheep'?"

Chang'an didn't say that again.

Mei Qian turned her head when she saw this and continued to row the boat without saying anything.

She knew that what she said was indeed possible to discover. Otherwise, why would the people in the North call Xirong soldiers Xirong dogs?
The people in the north felt that those guys couldn't be called human beings based on what they had done.

Mei Qian held the oar and was no longer silent. She raised her head and the peaks on both sides of the bank were towering into the clouds. Against the clear sky, she seemed even smaller. Her chest, which was gradually suppressed, gradually relaxed.

"By the way, if I end up following you to Jiangbei, will you be able to send me back?"

It took a long time for Mei Qian to remember what she actually wanted to ask.

She accidentally boarded a "thief ship", what will happen next?
After Mei Qian asked, she turned to look at Chang'an and asked with hints in her eyes, "When will you go to Jiangnan to get food next time?"

Chang'an: "..."

He couldn't say that.

Seeing Chang'an's silence, Mei Qian's smile that she had just maintained gradually disappeared, and she asked uncertainly: "It won't take long, right?"

"Yeah." The other person answered quickly this time.

After receiving Chang'an's words, Mei Qian couldn't help but cursed, "I really owe you!", then she turned to look at Chang'an who felt guilty for dragging Mei Qian down, and asked again: "Do you know why my brother helped you? ?”

"why?"

Chang'an really didn't know, he just felt that he was really lucky to have met this kind-hearted family.

So Mei Qian told them exactly what happened when Mei Shitou met them in Qingyao, and how he was later imprisoned and tortured in prison without revealing anything.

When he understood the original story of the matter, Changan was shocked and guilty. He opened his mouth for a long time and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this, Mei Qian took the opportunity to say: "You have to repay such a great kindness, right?"

"That's natural."

"Well...then when I get to Jiangbei, you have to ensure food, shelter and safety."

"……it is good."

If she really couldn't go back, Mei Qian would still put her own personal safety first, but her attention was not on Chang'an at the moment, and she didn't notice the other person's hesitation at that moment.

Mei Qian was worried about her mother at the moment.

Mei Qian didn't dare to think about whether her eldest brother and sister-in-law would go into a rage on the spot and beat up Mei Shitou and Cui'er if the news that she was "lost" came out in the next two days.

···
"Are we going back like this?"

Cui'er sat uneasily in the donkey cart, watching Mei Shitou drive the cart at lightning speed. Fortunately, he was in the car now. Otherwise, once he got off, Xiao Hui would be so angry that he would kick Mei Shitou to death.

Xiao Hui: What are you urging me for? Going to a funeral?

"We have no choice but to talk about my sister, and we can't act like headless chickens. It's not like you haven't seen those people. Let's go back to Nai to get an idea first."

At this time, Mei Shitou realized that he had no way to find his milk...

Mrs. Mei: You know how to find me every day after you finish poking the basket! I'm so powerful, why don't I slap you all to death? ! !

Mei Qian: Lie down, jiojio.jpg
Mei Shitou: Tuxiazuo M(__)M, I was wrong! Milk, help!
Mrs. Mei: tui!
