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

Chapter 189 Xiao Jian: I thank you

"it's over?"

Hearing the movement behind him, Chang An, who was feeding mosquitoes not far outside the tent, turned to look at Mei Qian, who had just opened the tent, and asked.

"It's over." Mei Qian nodded, looked up at the clear, cloudless night sky and suddenly asked, "Would you like a late night snack?"

"There should be no one at the Nod Guy camp, right?"

Chang'an was just about to say that Mei Qian's behavior of trying to trouble people to eat in the middle of the night was not good for the two newcomers, when he heard Mei Qian say:
"Get your own food."

After Mei Qian finished speaking, she pretended to take out the salt and pepper potatoes from the tent.

Chang'an glanced at the black lumps of earth and asked, "What is this?"

"I treat people to dinner, and they treat me. I don't know where I got it from. It shouldn't kill anyone."

Chang'an: "..."

Ah, there are still undead souls feeding the living?

So is this thing edible?

But he watched Mei Qian put the black lump on the campfire to heat it, and then pushed it away with her hands. A simple and alluring fragrance instantly penetrated his nose.

"Is there such food in this underworld?"

Mei Qian almost choked while eating potatoes, and turned to look at Chang An, speechless.

What underworld?
Where did the underworld come from?
Mei Qian: "Is it possible that this is what living people eat, so they gave it to me because they couldn't eat it?"

"Oh oh oh~ That's it, but why haven't I seen this thing?"

"There are so many things you haven't seen before. Have you seen the undead?"

Chang'an, who was insulted by Mei Qian, was not angry. He shook his head and suddenly felt less burdened by the dark potatoes in his hand.

He imitated Mei Qian and ate the soft and fragrant potatoes, and silently he remembered what he wanted to ask just now.

"Um...what news did you inquire about just now?"

When Mei Qian heard Chang'an's question, she quickly ate all the potatoes in her hand to prevent herself from choking while eating later.

After finishing the potatoes, Mei Qian sat on the haystack outside the tent and blew in the cool breeze and said, "I asked for a former city defense map of Zuixing County, and unexpectedly discovered that there is more than one secret road in Zuixing County."

"really?!"

Chang'an was shocked. He didn't know who Mei Qian asked for. He only knew that there was more than one secret passage and he was extremely pleasantly surprised.

This way, they also have more choices!
"Hmm... But then again, these secret passages aren't just like those on the streets, are they?"

When Mei Qian thought about being caught by the people from the Imperial City Department when she left the secret passage, she felt a shadow in her heart.

"That's not true. Only the local general officials and some of His Majesty's intelligence agencies know about this kind of thing."

Mei Qian: "..."

So it’s possible that the Imperial City Secretary knows about this secret passage?

Mei Qian grabbed a handful of hay, tugged it, and then rubbed it in her palms for a long time, taking into account the variable of the Imperial City Division.

"Are you planning to let Chang Ping use this secret passage to rescue those adults?"

"It turns out that this is the last resort, but - you mentioned the Imperial City Division. I think it's best for our people to not show up as much as possible."

Letting Chang Ping take action is not Mei Qian's best solution. How to rescue this person and send him back without arousing the emperor's suspicion is what matters! "When I was in Zuixing County, I heard that the envoys who were talking about peace talks were coming with troops, right? They just didn't enter the city."

Mei Qian remembered that the number was not that big, but there were still a few thousand people.

After being reminded by Mei Qian, Chang'an also thought about it and said: "Yes, about three thousand, all on the riverside. They are all under the command of Marquis Weiyuan, and they are also the Forbidden Army."

Listening to what Chang An said, Mei Qian's brows gradually relaxed and she said, "So, we are anxious, and those soldiers must be anxious too, right?"

Mei Qian turned to look at Chang An with a "you understand" expression.

Chang'an also quickly understood what Mei Qian meant, but Chang'an hesitated and asked, "Do they really dare to save people?"

"Don't dare. Are they planning to be deserters? Do you think these soldiers really dare to leave these officials and take a boat back to Jiangnan?

They are the Forbidden Army. If they run away, can the emperor trust them to be the Forbidden Army again? "

If something really happened, could the emperor trust a group of soldiers who would run away if something happened?
Just as Mei Qian said, the soldier parked on the abandoned dock by the river was also very anxious at the moment.

The sentry looked at the pier built by the Xirong people, which was only a few miles away from their boat. At night, the pier was still brightly lit.

These days, the Xirong people have never stopped building docks. They are determined to cross the river, and even rough guys like them can see that this is not good.

"What should we do? The Marquis and your lords are trapped in the city and can't get out. They sent people to ask but were beaten back. What should we do?"

Lieutenant General Zhang Tai and several other Xiao Jian's cronies looked haggard, obviously causing trouble over this matter.

"In the past two days, the Western Rong soldiers have been shrinking their troops and gathering in the direction of Zuixing County. I heard that it was King Yongning's army who was attacking."

"This army didn't come sooner or later, but it happened at this time..."

"Be careful!"

The lieutenant glared at the man who spoke indiscriminately and told him to shut up.

Everyone knows why King Yongning came here, and it’s not because of the peace talks?

They don’t know how many times they have murmured about this in private. If this matter is negotiated, then the land in Jiangbei will really be gone!
These people are all traitors in disguise!

Who wants to bear this infamy?
It's like their marquis has been pretending to be dead since they arrived here, and they are not willing to get involved. As a result, they have been hiding for a long time, and they can't come back even after eating. They, this group of soldiers, are like ants on a hot pot.

"How about we lead troops to rescue the Marquis and others?"

As soon as someone made this suggestion, another person was heard scolding: "Are you stupid? How many Xirong soldiers are there in Zuixing County? They will be gone before we can get to the bottom!"

"Then how can we do nothing? Have you never thought about what if the soldiers of the Western Army were beaten badly by King Yongning's men, and in a rage, we, the Marquis, and those adults were chopped down to make them angry?"

A few big bosses were chattering, and they missed the days when the Marquis made all the decisions.

"Then if the Xirong soldiers defeat King Yongning, will our Lord Marquis not die?"

As soon as these words came out, the person who said these words received the death gaze from everyone.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If King Yongning fails, the peace talks will be useless! The Xirong soldiers immediately cut down the Marquis and his companions' sacrificial flags and headed south!"

The deputy general suddenly had an epiphany, as if his Tianling Cap had been opened.

He suddenly realized that his Marquis looked like he was going to die!
This discovery also caused other people in the tent to suddenly become silent. Suddenly, the tent was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

It seems like this, their Marquis really can't survive?
What about these people?

Everyone: Otherwise, we won’t save him, right?
