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

Su Jingkang also discovered that since that day, he had rarely heard any rumors about the discord between him and Mei Qian.

On the way thereafter, Mei Qian would occasionally talk to him.

During this period, Su Jingkang unexpectedly discovered that Mei Qian's family was actually neighbors with his maternal grandparents!

"Sister Nian likes my puppy very much and comes to our house almost every day."

"I heard from Sister Nian that there is a lady she really likes."

"Ok?"

Mei Qian had not expected that Sister Nian would mention her family in the letter to Su Jingkang. Even when Su Jingkang said that Sister Nian had a wife whom she loved very much, Mei Qian had subconsciously brought up her own mother.

It turns out that Sister Nian’s description didn’t seem quite right.

"Sister Nian said that you have a wife in your family who is very powerful in martial arts."

Mei Qian:? ? ?
"Sister Nian also taught me how to fight with others..." If Su Jingkang's expression at the moment was not very normal, Mei Qian would have thought that this person was teasing her.

Sister Nian taught Su Jingkang to beat people?

She even learned it from a lady in her family. How can she learn this?
Mei Qian then realized that Sister Nian admired someone else. Her aunt sometimes... well, she did look very secure.

Because of Sister Nian, Mei Qian didn't expect that her relationship with Su Jingkang would get better little by little. After all, their relatives are neighbors. Who wouldn't be moved to hear about such a fate?
A few days later, after Mei Qian and his men arrived in Ningcheng, Su Jingkang began to settle the troops. Just as he was about to discuss something with Mei Qian, he heard people say that Mei Qian had gone out of the city with some personal guards.

In the evening, Mei Qian came back in a good mood with a basket of wild vegetables. She heard people say that Su Jingkang was waiting for her and seemed to be in a bad mood.

"As soon as the military advisor arrived here, he disappeared without a trace. How could he let me handle military affairs alone?"

Mei Qian didn't come to Su Jingkang until dinner time. Hearing Su Jingkang's resentful tone, Mei Qian almost laughed out loud.

"I went out of town today to inspect the terrain around Ningcheng, and dug some on the way. Come, try some fresh wild vegetable pancakes."

Mei Qian seemed not to notice Su Jingkang's unhappiness and handed the baked wild vegetable pie to Su Jingkang.

When Su Jingkang heard Mei Qian say that they were going out of the city to check the terrain, he mumbled and almost didn't hear the words "I can come with you".

Although Mei Qian doesn't cook much anymore, when she sees something she wants to eat, she will specifically ask the chef in Huotouying for the recipe.

Just like today's pancakes stuffed with wild vegetables, the wild vegetables inside are mixed with eggs, dried mushrooms and animal oil. They are so delicious in one bite.

After taking a bite, Su Jingkang didn't rush to ask Mei Qian anything, but just focused on eating. Mei Qian waited with a smile on her face.

In the background of the system, Xiaomei was also talking to Meiqian about how many good reviews the #包春卷，一点鲜# she uploaded tonight had received.

Whether online or offline, the response has been very good.

After Su Jingkang finished eating and had his food cleaned up, he remembered what Mei Qian said today and said, "The terrain around Ningcheng is flat, with only a few hills in the southern part of the city."

"Yes, the only obstacle is the southern region. If the Western Rong soldiers in the capital are defeated and flee, people here will not be willing to come."

Who would run here when there is a flat place to run?
In other words, the two of them didn't even have a chance to collect kills after the battle, because no one would give them any!

Sure enough, after hearing Mei Qian's voice-over, Su Jingkang, who hadn't had a bad face for many days, became unhappy again.

"But there are plains on three sides here, and the location is open with a good view. If anyone has any ideas about the baggage army, we can respond quickly whether it is support, defense or active attack."

Mei Qian also talked about the advantages of this place. Originally, it was a transit station for supplying the army, and this advantage was really good.

However, in Su Jingkang's view, this is not only an advantage but also a disadvantage.

When Su Jingkang and his companions came today, he discovered that there were only a few civilians in the city. After a quick look, he found that many of them were old and young.

In other words, those who could run had already left the place. Mei Qian walked around outside Ningcheng and also saw no one.

This Ningcheng area was probably the favorite area for the Western Rong soldiers when they first moved south.

It is as flat as their prairie, and hunting can see the target at a glance.

"It's easy to attack but hard to defend. If His Highness hadn't already conquered all the areas above and below, staying in this place would be terrifying all day long."

After listening to Su Jingkang's words, Mei Qian thought about it carefully and discovered the problem.

Mei Qian and Su Ningkang looked at the map of Ningcheng and the map of Jiangbei again, looked at their own positions, and asked, "Do you think there is a possibility of a war here before the war?"

"Although the three armies have not moved yet, the food and fodder have gone first. If the Western Rong want to, they will definitely want to attack our food and fodder troops. If the Western Rong soldiers come directly to us, the army of Wuzhou and Luoling will not sit idly by."

Mei Qian shook her head: "Besides, the behavior styles of several famous generals in Xirong are rarely unexpected, and the teacher and other counselors have deduced this.

The probability of us being affected is very low."

Otherwise, how could Liang Ping have asked someone to arrange for Su Jingkang to be here?
Mei Qian thought so in her heart, and Su Jingkang also said in his heart:

No wonder the prince dared to send Mei Qian here.

···
"I rescued you and made you rise from a slave to become the prince of Xirong. Do you know what you need to do next?"

Inside Xing'an Prefecture, in the most luxurious mansion in the city occupied by the Western Rong people.

It was freezing and snowy outside, but there was a charcoal basin lit in the study, creating warmth.

Thornton was asking a shirtless young man a serious question.

His eyes were always on the hideous scar on the young man's chest, and on the scimitar in the other's hand that he never put down.

He heard from his slaves these days that after his health improved a lot, he practiced sword skills every day.

Thinking of this, Thornton's tone softened twice and said, "Cang, have you forgotten what your mother said before she died?"

When his mother was mentioned, Cang suddenly looked up at Thornton who was looking at him.

"She asked you to return to Xirong and recognize your ancestors. Now His Majesty has recognized you despite all the pressure.

Prince Yi Ge's brothers and the forces behind them are eyeing you covetously.

If you can't do something to prove your ability, and you have no support, and only rely on His Majesty's love...

It can disappear in the blink of an eye."

After Thornton finished speaking, there was a turbulent undercurrent in Cang's heavy eyes. Suddenly, he knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and said, "Please teach Cang, Master."

When he heard the other party call him Zhongfu, the corners of Thornton's mouth curled up.

This is much better than Yi Ge, who refused to listen to advice and went on to seek death.

Xirong is a place where people are most unconcerned about their birthplace.

He looked at Cang in front of him, who was seven points similar to the old King of Xirong. Compared with the enterprising spirit of the young King of Xirong, Cang was more reserved, which was not suitable for his age.

Their battle with An Guo has begun to go downhill.

This is one thing Thornton had to admit.

"Cang, the incident in the capital this time is not only a crisis for us Xirong, but also an opportunity for you." (End of this chapter)
