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

Chapter 239 Hot Area
Zuixing County,
Mu Ying listened to the latest war news and had an idea in his mind. He thought that the capital city might be captured before May.

Wang He, who told Mu Ying the news, finished reading the letter, then looked up and glanced quietly at Mu Ying, who had been tanned a degree due to spring plowing recently, and carefully looked at his physique.

Well, he didn’t become thin because of starvation.

Before leaving, Mei Qian specifically reminded herself that Prince Mu Ying was planning to recruit him as a subordinate, and letting him do these hard work was just to kill his energy and stop him from sitting there quietly thinking about things all day.

Since Mu Ying submitted to their prince, his rank must be higher than his own.

Wang He didn't want to offend a man who had both skill and strength.

At this moment, the door of the wooden house where Mu Ying was resting was opened again, and Chang Ping walked in from outside. Mu Ying looked up at him. When Wang He noticed Chang Ping's gaze, he immediately understood and left.

After Wang He had completely left, Mu Ying asked, "Why are you here? Aren't you usually very busy?"

"No matter how busy I am... the capital is almost taken, so I should relax a little."

As he spoke, Changping opened the oil paper packages he had brought over. One was a snack and the other was a roast chicken.

Mu Ying looked at the snacks, then raised his head to look at Chang Ping, and couldn't help but chuckle: "It's amazing that you still remember things from your childhood."

"It's hard for you, remember."

Chang Ping and Mu Ying were actually orphans who were selected into the Imperial City Bureau together, trained together, and grew up together. However, based on their training performance, Mu Ying continued to stay in the Imperial City Bureau and serve the emperor with his master.

Changping then served in the Qianyuan Guard, the crown prince's personal guard.

The identity of Qianyuanwei is far more secretive than that of the Imperial City Division in the hands of the emperor. Apart from the emperor and the candidates chosen by the emperor, only the commander of the Imperial City Division knows their identity.

However, his master did not have the chance to explain all this before he died. Mu Ying just thought that Changping's training performance was not good, and after being kicked out of the Imperial City Division, he found his own way and chose to follow the rebel king.

Therefore, the relationship between him and Changping has been very tense ever since Changping left the Imperial City Bureau and appeared in front of him again.

It was only during these few months that the relationship between the two of them became slightly better because Mu Ying became a prisoner and was under the jurisdiction of Chang Ping.

But this doesn't stop them from being sarcastic to each other occasionally.

"Once the secret decree is produced, I think you will be reinstated."

Speaking of reinstatement, Mu Ying certainly knew what Chang Ping meant. Mu Ying took a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly without saying much.

"What, you don't want to?"

Seeing Mu Ying so silent, Changping thought that this man still had feelings for Jiangnan.

"Am I the one who doesn't want to?" Mu Ying swallowed the cake, looked up at Chang Ping, and said, "The Imperial City Bureau is the monarch's confidant. I don't have much contact with His Royal Highness Prince Yongning."

"As long as you say 'the monarch's confidant', that's all." After Chang Ping finished speaking, Mu Ying did not continue the topic but asked, "Mei Qian, how have you been lately?"

"Why are you thinking about Mei Qian?"

Changping was startled by Mu Ying's sudden question.

Could it be that Mu Ying has taken a fancy to Mei Qian?
"After all, he is half a member of the Imperial City Division."

Changping was speechless at Mu Ying's discussion of kinship.

All those who entered the Imperial City Bureau were orphans, and Mei Qian was just someone whose grandfather had once worked in the Imperial City Bureau.

Changping was thinking so when he heard Mu Ying say that he had been defeated by Mei Qian. Now he saw Mei Qian working for Qi Chen. He wanted to know what Mei Qian could achieve with her strength.

What Mu Ying meant by this was that "if she fails to achieve results, he, Mu Ying, will feel ashamed."

Chang Ping couldn't help but chuckle when he thought about this, and said, "She is now the military advisor of a general. Although she was not the main fighter in the attack on the capital, she also made a great contribution."

"Oh? Someone was so blind that he bumped into her hands?"

When Mu Ying heard Chang Ping say that Mei Qian was not in the fighting army, he knew that Mei Qian had been placed in a safe position.

To put it bluntly, Mei Qian might not even get a share of the spoils in the battle to attack the capital. As Chang Ping said, she could have made a great contribution, or someone from Xirong really had the ingenuity to rush under Mei Qian's nose.

"Yes." Chang'an nodded, and then couldn't help but sigh, "Mei Qian and his men wiped out all 10,000 light cavalry from the Western Rong along the way."

"Total annihilation?"

Ten thousand may not seem significant among the figures of hundreds of thousands or even millions, but the word "annihilate" has a very high value.

It was particularly surprising that not a single light cavalry unit, which was good at charging, escaped.

"Not one escaped?"

"not a single one."

Mu Ying seemed to have heard something very exciting. He chuckled and said something that made Chang Ping very angry: "If in the future... there is no place for Mei Qian in the court, perhaps I can make an exception and let her enter the Imperial City Department..."

···
After all, the Western Rong soldiers in the capital did not wait for reinforcements and began to flee in all directions at the end of April.

Even in Ningcheng, Su Jingkang and Mei Qian caught quite a few deserters. However, when Chu Ji wrote to Mei Qian last time to persuade her to do less killing, Mei Qian simply pretended to be blind.

Mei Qian and Su Jingkang had already issued orders that any Xirong deserters they saw should be killed without mercy.

Anyway, Mei Qian and the others felt that under normal circumstances there wouldn't be much traffic on their route, so they estimated that there wouldn't be much impact after killing them all.

Instead of capturing a few Western Rong soldiers to annoy others, it would be better to let your own men go and earn a few heads.

What Mei Qian didn't expect was that these Xirong people might be crazy.

It would have been fine if they had just launched a sneak attack and ran to Ningcheng, but this time the large-scale escape actually passed through Ningcheng.

Late at night, Mei Qian was once again awakened by the sound of enemy attack horns.

However, Ningcheng was not attacked this time. It was just that the scene of a large group of Western Rong soldiers leaving the vicinity of their city at night was really scary.

Mei Qian, standing on the city gate, saw under the moonlight tonight a large group of dark troops moving quickly towards the north on the plain.

"Is there anyone following?"

The other side had no intention of fighting, but at a rough glance, the number of people in that large group was at least over 30,000. The only 10,000 soldiers left in Ningcheng naturally had no intention of fighting.

It's so funny. What if you chase him and he gets angry and doesn't run away, but turns around and beats you up? What would you think?
But it wouldn't be right to just let them go.

"To answer your question, we had spies outside the city at first, but they were discovered by the Xirong people, who shot a few arrows at us to threaten us."

This group of deserters was different from the previous ones. They still had fighting power and were not even in a state where their wills had been broken or they were mentally ill.

At this moment, just using sharp arrows to warn them to stay away from them is the greatest kindness they can do?
When Mei Qian thought of this word for no apparent reason, she got goosebumps all over her body.

Mei Qian frowned even more after hearing what the soldier said. Su Jingkang said, "No matter what, we must inform His Majesty of this number of deserters. With such a large group of people, their traces of leaving will be very obvious. Wait until they are far away before sending someone to check their route."

"It can only be this way."

Mei Qian sighed after hearing this and couldn't help but mutter, "Why has our place become a popular escape area? According to the previous pre-war deduction, our place is not a popular area."

"Who knows? It's said that this place is extremely safe?"

Su Jingkang glanced at Mei Qian beside him, and felt that it was outrageous that the prince arranged Mei Qian here and claimed that it was safe.

Mei Qian: This group of people are really a mess, and they almost sent me to a place where it is easy to send it_(：3」∠)_——
People who have no sports foundation should never try any activities that may not seem very intense but are very effective in building muscle.

The night before last, my arms were so sore and painful that I couldn't sleep. I finally got up in the middle of the night and took ibuprofen before I could fall asleep.

My dad knew about this during the day and laughed at me. He said that I was not tolerant to pain and that it was not good to take ibuprofen when my muscles were sore from exercise. Then he quietly gave me the ibuprofen and put it away.

As a result, the effect of the medicine wore off in the evening, and I started to feel worse than death when typing at night. In the end, I ordered takeout and bought medicine late at night_(：3」∠)_
Arm pain is not at the same level as buttocks, waist and leg pain. It's too painful QAQ
