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

The weather in early spring is still very cold.

Ningcheng is still some distance away from Wuzhou. Just after the New Year, Mei Qian and Su Jingkang took the lead in leading the army to leave Wuzhou.

Qi Chen stood on the wall, looking at Mei Qian's leaving back. Chu Ji stood beside Qi Chen, following his gaze, looking at the two people walking side by side in the distance, and suddenly let out a muffled laugh.

"what happened?"

Qi Chen glanced at Chu Ji.

"No, I always feel that these two are not very old, and they probably have bad tempers. When riding a horse, neither of them will give way to the other."

Logically speaking, Mei Qian should ride a horse and follow Su Jingkang.

But now these two people have an illusion that they are competing for the lead side by side.

Just because two people stand side by side doesn’t necessarily mean they have a good relationship.

Qi Chen and the others could tell something from their backs, not to mention the deputy generals beside Mei Qian and Su Jingkang.

The two men rode side by side on horseback, with the same sullen look on their faces. The lieutenants beside them felt that the warm spring sun actually gave them a feeling of a late spring cold.

After a few more days of marching,
"I don't mean to say that General Su and Military Advisor Mei don't get along well with each other."

In the evening, when they were resting in the camp, the two lieutenants gathered together at dinner and whispered about this matter.

"Have you ever seen them talking together?"

“It seems that there are not many.”

"Wow, have you seen it? I really haven't seen it."

The two lieutenants got food from the cooks and didn't go far away to gather together to talk. Mei Qian didn't need to float around to see clearly as she got the food.

As soon as she got closer, she heard the two of them talking about the rumor that she and Su Jingkang were not getting along. Before Mei Qian could get angry, she raised her eyes and saw Su Jingkang who was also approaching from another angle with food in his hand.

Not to mention, although they don't talk much, they have an inexplicable tacit understanding on some things.

"what are you guys saying?"

Compared to Mei Qian who preferred to just stay there and listen to what they had to say, Su Jingkang disdained to listen to gossip behind people's backs.

He stopped him just as he began to talk, and Wang Yu and Zhang Qi were so frightened that they almost dropped the food in their hands.

The two of them looked at Su Jingkang with their eyes almost popping out of their heads, and their heartbeats almost jumped out of their throats.

"General."

"what are you guys saying?"

Su Jingkang frowned, and began to reflect in his heart whether his expression in the past two days was too obvious?
How could there be any rumor that a general and his military advisor were not in harmony during a war?

"No, nothing. I didn't say anything."

Wang Yu kept shaking his head, indicating that he really didn't say anything, and he also pulled Zhang Qi to shake his head together.

Mei Qian's angle was also very clear. Because of Su Jingkang's voice, the two of them went straight towards Su Jingkang, completely ignoring that Mei Qian was standing behind them.

Su Jingkang could see clearly that Mei Qian was smiling!

"Really? I just heard you say that I don't have a good relationship with your general, right?"

Mei Qian appeared like a ghost at this time, and scared Wang Yu and Zhang Qi out of their wits. If Mei Qian hadn't asked them to hold tight, the two of them might not be able to eat tonight.

"No, no, we were just talking casually."

Wang Yu smiled very unhappily, fearing that Mei Qian would notice something.

Who understands? One in front and one behind, one white and one black, it seems like we are back to the time when Chu Ji and Mei Qian appeared on the stage together in the Wuzhou camp!

"I have no bad relationship with Military Advisor Mei."

Su Jingkang frowned, looking at the way Mei Qian's smile scared the two men so much that their faces turned pale, feeling a little displeased, so he opened his mouth to explain.

Mei Qian raised her eyes and looked at Su Jingkang, who looked like he was being forced. Who would believe what he said?

"Yes~ I have a good relationship with General Su." Mei Qian finished speaking, and then she saw Su Jingkang's tense expression stiffen again. So she curled her lips slightly and said, "It's just not obvious."

This made Su Jingkang's face even darker. The key point was that Wang Yu and Zhang Qi were still laughing dryly, as if they really believed what Mei Qian said.

Mei Qian waved her hand and said, "Okay, go eat. I remember you two were leading the patrol tonight."

Mei Qian's words made the two of them feel as if they had been pardoned. They ran away with the food, leaving Su Jingkang standing there with a thin-skinned look and a little regret on his face.

"I want to eat this." While Su Jingkang was distracted, Mei Qian had already walked in front of him and took away the only chicken leg in his hand tonight right in front of him.

"you!"

"Well, this is for you." Then Su Jingkang saw the steamed buns replacing the chicken legs.

It was quite unusual for him to eat three big steamed buns and a side dish late at night by himself.

Mei Qian had a steamed bun, a side dish, and a chicken leg.

There are meat, vegetables and staple foods, perfect!

"Look, we have such a good relationship, General, you even gave me a chicken leg~"

Mei Qian smiled and said, swallowing back what Su Jingkang was about to say.

Mei Qian saw that Su Jingkang really had no intention of refutation, so she raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said:

“Since the general invited me to eat chicken legs, I will naturally help the general deal with the discord between us.

Although Ningcheng is far away from the war, we are not going there to do nothing. General, please don't let your little emotion cause trouble for the future. "

"I don't have petty emotions!"

Su Jingkang denied that he was unhappy because he came here. Mei Qian listened and made a teasing sound, until she saw that the other person's ears were red from her sound, Mei Qian let him go.

With a smile, Mei Qian took her food and left.

However, before Mei Qian returned to her tent, she found two small bowls of boiled lamb on her plate.

When she entered the tent, Wang Yu and Zhang Qi were already waiting.

"military adviser!"

Seeing Mei Qian coming, Wang Yu and Zhang Qi's eyes lit up, and then their eyes fell on the boiled lamb on Mei Qian's plate.

With a "gulp", Wang Yu looked at Zhang Qi with disdain as he swallowed loudly, and wiped the corner of his mouth silently.

In the military camp, everyone from the soldiers to the generals had a fixed amount of food for every meal. Although the deputy generals also had meat, it was mostly dried meat. Fresh meat was rare, let alone juicy lamb.

"Thank you both for today."

Mei Qian smiled and handed the two small bowls of boiled mutton that Li Niang had exchanged with her to Wang Yu and Zhang Qi.

"I don't dare to take it seriously."

Wang Yu and Zhang Qi accepted the bowl of mutton humbly and honestly!
Woo woo woo, follow the military advisor and you will have meat to eat!
"Military Advisor, don't you want to eat?"

After getting the mutton, Wang Yu and Zhang Qi were not too overwhelmed by the food and remembered to ask Mei Qian one more question.

"No need, your general will reform and bribe me with a chicken leg~"

Mei Qian showed the two of them the chicken leg sandwiched in the steamed bun, and they were really stunned.

"General, General, it's true..."

"Yes." Mei Qian nodded. "Now that your general knows that everyone thinks he and I have a bad relationship, he is showing it."

Mei Qian said, his eyes met the gazes of the two people who were looking at Mei Qian, and he said, "When you get out, remember what to say, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes. If anyone says that the general and the military advisor are not on good terms again, I will be the first to rush over and beat him to death!"

Zhang Qi also echoed: "That's right! Our general and military advisor have a good relationship! Anyone who talks nonsense will be punished by military law!"

"That's good~" Mei Qian smiled with curved eyebrows, but the murderous intent in her eyes could not be hidden. She stared at the two and said, "I don't want to hear such rumors a second time. Do you understand?" (End of this chapter)
