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

Chapter 166 Dress Up
"Your secret passage is quite convoluted."

After King Yongning wrote back and agreed to Changping's plan, everyone left through the secret passage.

This was also the first time that Mei Qian knew that there was a secret tunnel leading to the outside of the mountain dug beneath the place where they lived.

Mei Qian almost felt claustrophobic as she walked through the twists and turns of the secret underground passage.

In the middle of the journey, she couldn't help but complained about the terrain here.

What I got was a serious explanation from Chang'an: "This was originally dug based on the terrain. It's a bit circuitous, but it's safe."

"Yeah, safety comes first."

Chang Ping also opened his mouth and said this.

Hearing Chang'an and Changping constantly encouraging her, Mei Qian stopped complaining and cheered up again and said: "Safety comes first."

This time, after King Yongning replied and agreed to Changping's proposal, he also sent another letter to Mei Qian.

When the other party wrote to Mei Qian, he gave her a ladder to reply to the letter, and also recognized that Mei Qian was working for him.

This made Mei Qian very happy.

What makes Mei Qian a little confused is that King Yongning wrote four elegant and handsome characters on the letter - "Safety First".

In this regard, Mei Qian was a little confused about what the new boss meant.

After more than two days of twisting and turning on secret roads and mountains, Mei Qian and the others appeared at the foot of the northern part of Wuya Mountain.

After checking that no one was in private, Chang Ping once again told everyone what to do next:
"This time we need to sneak into the nearest workshop in the area occupied by Xirong, and wait for Zuixing to send someone to move us to the front."

She already knew what Xirong's workshop was when Shanli Meiqian learned about the relevant plans.

This workshop was where the craftsmen and servants captured by the Xirong soldiers after they broke through the Anguo city were settled.

These people are not ordinary slaves, because the craftsmen's craftsmanship also allows them to provide these Xirong people with the same material enjoyment as those of high-ranking families like Anguo.

These Xirong people are not completely brainless.

They killed the common people who had no power to restrain them, and they also killed the rich people who cherished wealth.

But those craftsmen who may seem inconspicuous but are closely related to everyone’s lives will be left behind.

Sometimes corruption can happen so quickly.

The Xirong people who were still fighting on horseback now have some people starting to enjoy it.

Mei Qian thought, if the craftsmen in this workshop have some "wrong ideas", or if someone takes the lead, everyone can work together to invent more things that make Xirong people addicted and addictive, so as to weaken the will of Xirong people.

But this is Mei Qian's imagination. This kind of plan requires brains first and time second.

As for the people in Jiangnan, Mei Qian felt that the time spent by the Xirong people's will might be longer than the time spent by the court in Jiangnan.

Thinking like this, Mei Qian glanced at Chang Ping who was arranging matters with others. After Chang Ping finished speaking, Mei Qian asked again:
"Among the officials who came this time, are we sure that the only ones we have contacted are Wu Hui, the Minister of Rites, and Lu Ji, the envoy of the vassal academy? Are we not in contact with the rest?"

Mei Qian also received information about the officials she wanted to contact early in the morning. The team for the peace talks was headed by Xiao Jian, the Marquis of Weiyuan, Wu Hui, the Minister of Rites, the Prime Minister Hu Linchun, and Lu Ji, the envoy of the feudal lord. There were no less than twenty people, large and small, accompanying them. A civil servant.

Mei Qian recalled the list carefully, laughed suddenly, and said: "Speaking of which, as a military general, Marquis Weiyuan is actually a little green among the reds. Do you need to get in touch with this one?"

"Marquis Weiyuan is the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army. This time he came with soldiers. He came here mainly to guard the safety of civilian officials. He will not participate in the peace talks."

Chang Ping revealed the identity of Marquis Weiyuan. The deputy commander of the imperial army was also considered a confidant of the emperor. What could Mei Qian win over?

"I didn't say win over, provoke, isn't it okay to provoke?" Mei Qian curled her lips, looked at Chang Ping, and then added, "Everything is about the overall situation, if there is a chance~"

"Well, the main thing is to contact the Minister of Rites and the Envoy of the Domain. They have always been neutral. One of the reasons for coming here this time is due to their status, and the other is that there are people in the court who have long disliked them."...
"I lost."

Wu Hui, who was worried about Mei Qian and the others, sighed and put the chess pieces in his hands into the chessboard and decisively admitted defeat.

Chen Jizhong, who was so frightened that he played chess with him, felt his heart tighten and said with a trembling smile:
"Sir, I know your chess skills well. I saw that you are tired today. I think you are a little sleepy. How can I count you as losing this game? Why don't you take a rest and play chess with me again."

"Hmph~ If I say I lose, I lose."

Wu Hui looked at Chen Jizhong's flattering smile, took a deep breath, and said: "When you cross the river, you are not allowed to show such a servile look to those people in Xirong!"

"Ah, yes."

Chen Jizhong put away his smile and cursed Wu Hui, the official, half to death in his heart.

What does he want?
If he had a choice he wouldn't come at all, right?

How could he face the Xirong people? !

Old guy, no wonder the Prime Minister is unhappy with him!
Chen Jizhong returned to his room on the ship alone in angrily. He scolded a lot of people before venting his anger.

Chen Yi looked at his resentful look for a long time, then directly moved his gaze to the rolling green mountains on the river bank outside the window, remaining silent.

[When you go to Jiangbei this time, there will definitely be chaos. After you deal with Chen Jizhong, you must take advantage of the chaos to leave and hand the letter to King Yongning. 】

"When you go back to the workshop, Mei Qian, make yourself as ugly as possible, and don't reveal your identity as a woman.

Unlike the men in the workshops, who are mostly craftsmen, the women here are almost all prostitutes and don't want to expose themselves. "

Everyone was changing their clothes again. Because Mei Qian was a girl, she stayed away from the group of men. Chang Ping stood on the wind outlet and warned in the direction of Mei Qian.

When he saw that everyone was done, but Mei Qian hadn't come yet, he remembered that others only said that women would take longer to wash and change clothes than men, so he told Mei Qian this.

She was afraid that Mei Qian would clean herself up too much.

"I know." Mei Qian responded and walked out of the woods. She had disheveled hair and a khaki face. Even the exposed skin of her hands, feet, and neck was khaki, with some plaster on it.

The more you complain, the more you complain.

Just like when she fled last year.

When Mei Qian saw everyone looking at them in shock, she grinned proudly, but her white teeth were a little weird.

However, it is precisely because of this little white tooth that Mei Qian's rustic and slovenly image becomes more clever and lovable.

"How about it?"

Mei Qian came closer and showed everyone how she was dressed. Changan said yes, and Changping nodded in approval, and then said: "The color of your skin..."

"Ah, the wild fruit I saw when I was changing my clothes just now. If you apply the juice on your face, it will turn your skin yellow."

She told herself to use wild fruits to change the color of her skin. Mei Qian's condition last year was incomparable with this year. She didn't use it last year, but she used it this year.

"Will it fade? For example, if it comes into contact with water or something."

Although Mei Qian's current cross-dressing looks perfect, Chang Ping can't help but worry about the instability of Mei Qian's complexion.

Hearing Chang Ping's question, Mei Qian smiled more confidently.

She immediately took some muddy water from a small puddle on the side and put it on her face. She personally verified that this thing would not fade when exposed to water: "Don't worry, this thing needs to be washed away with alcohol, ah no, or oil. Water is Can’t be washed off.”

Mei Qian: Chou Chou is more at ease.
