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

"Prince, it seems that no one from that city came out to chase us."

Late at night, a cool breeze blew across the plain.

A group of exhausted Xirong soldiers finally got a moment's rest. They stared at the campfire with lifeless eyes, seeing the desolation all around.

Among this group, there are still a few whose fighting power seems to have not disappeared. One of them has taken the initiative to arrange the night patrol and sentry matters. He is the newly announced prince of the King of Xirong, Cang (I made a mistake before and wrote it as "Cangshui", which has now been changed back).

Cang heard his subordinates' questions and replied, "The city's garrison may not have as many soldiers as ours, so we dare not move out rashly."

When he heard that they were outnumbered, Cang looked at his subordinates' eyes that suddenly lit up, and said, "Don't forget, our mission is to save our people. If we attack a city temporarily and are caught up by the chasing team behind us, it will be a loss."

"But……"

Tu Ji turned his head and looked at the group of Xirong soldiers sitting dejectedly around the campfire. A hint of contempt flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Such losers, even if they return to Xirong, there will be no place for them..."

Before Tu Ce finished speaking, a fierce look flashed in Cang's eyes, which made people shudder.

After a while, Tu Ji felt his back soaked with cold sweat from being stared at by the other party, and then he heard the other party speak again: "In order to keep themselves alive and have a place to stay, they are willing to risk their lives a second time."

When they return to Xirong like a stray dog, they will find that the only person they can choose to follow is themselves.

"By the way, is there still no news about Jingzhu?"

Thinking about Jingzhu who had left with the light cavalry during these days, Cang couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

He did not have a good relationship with Jingzhu. On the Xirong side, apart from the prime minister and the king of Xirong, there were not many people who were friendly to him. Some of them even wanted to find any reason to attack him.

What if Jingzhu returns before him and deliberately confuses right and wrong to ruin his reputation? Even if he proves that the other party is lying after he returns, a rumor can spread much faster than the truth.

"No, after we surrounded and killed the baggage train, General Jingzhu learned from them that there was a city in the east that stored food, so he attacked it. We haven't heard from them since, so who knows..."

Tu Ce didn't dare to continue, but they both knew in their hearts that the lack of news was probably not good news.

"Atlas, do you remember that we deliberately chose the eastern hills as our escape route this time?"

"My subordinates remember."

"Have we seen any small eastern towns along the way?"

"This..." After Cang's reminder, Tu Ji suddenly opened his eyes wide, looked up at Cang in disbelief, his lips trembling slightly, "Prince, you mean... that city just now..."

"It seems that Jingzhu has indeed failed."

What Cang and the others didn’t know was that Jingzhu’s defeat was too complete.

So thoroughly that not a single person came out alive to tell them that they had failed...

···
"Let me transport the food this time."

"I'll do it."

"I think I can..."

At this moment, after Ningcheng received the news that Qi Chen wanted Ningcheng to transport a batch of grain to the capital, the two sides started a fierce argument over who would escort the grain to the capital.

Mei Qian felt that she could go, and Su Jingkang felt that he was also qualified to go. The two argued for an hour, and perhaps Qi Chen remembered and wrote another letter, asking Mei Qian to go.

Su Jingkang: ...

Mei Qian was so excited after receiving the order. Now that she was going to the capital, she might be able to witness with her own eyes the secret decree to appoint Qi Chen as emperor, right?
Mei Qian was naturally extremely excited at this historical moment, and it took him less than three days to reach the camp outside Beijing.

After arranging the food and other things, Mei Qian took the pass token from the camp outside the capital and entered the capital. Although the capital was captured again, there were not many troops stationed in the capital, and most of them were still in the suburbs to prevent any accidents.

Mei Qian was riding alone on a horse, watching countless soldiers dealing with corpses on the road.

Whether it's our own or the enemy's, we must clean them all up.

It has been several days, and the corpses have not yet been cleaned up. Mei Qian knows how heavy the casualties were in this battle in the capital.

The weather was getting hotter, and a stench of decay was gradually rising in the air because of the corpses.

Mei Qian frowned as she looked at the soldiers carrying the bodies, then stopped and asked about how to deal with the bodies.

"The weather is getting hotter, and leaving corpses for too long can easily make people sick, so these Xirong soldiers were dragged directly into a pit and burned completely."

At that time, people were very taboo about crushing bones and scattering ashes. Mei Qian couldn't just burn the bodies of his own people, but he could do it for the Western Rong soldiers.

As for the bodies of their own people, Mei Qian learned that they planned to bury them first after their identities were confirmed, and then send the remains of the soldiers back after all the wars were settled, so he said no more.

By the time they entered the city, it was already completely dark. Mei Qian was arranged to stay in the house of a former wealthy family in the capital.

"This house is well preserved."

Following the soldiers to their resting place, Mei Qian unexpectedly discovered that the houses in this area were all well preserved.

"Of course, it was built this well, and those Western Rong soldiers who broke in knew how to enjoy themselves, so they naturally kept these nice houses for themselves to sleep in...

Ah, but don't worry, sir, our people have already cleaned the place where you live inside and out.

Those Xirong people, they turned their well-kept houses into their birthplaces, really..."

Mei Qian was also a talkative person, and he led the soldiers to talk nonstop.

So he also described in great vivid detail how he defeated them and led the Western Rong people into the capital, and how they fled in panic!
"Sir, you don't know! Some of those Xirong people, we have already beaten them to their doorsteps, but they are still doing that... Oh! Oops, sorry, sir, I have polluted your ears."

“No problem, those Xirong people finally broke into the capital of Anguo, so naturally they will do some disgusting things to them.

There is no hope of defending the city, so it would be nice to do something happy before dying..."

Mei Qian shook her head and suddenly stopped talking. She looked up at the soldier and asked, "Where did they come from who did that?"

Mei Qian asked this question herself. The soldier didn't see her face turning ugly and pale in the night. He sighed heavily when he heard it.
"They are all girls from the capital who did not escape. They are all girls from good families..."

The little soldier thought of the dull eyes and the dull looks when they saw their group of soldiers appear, and remembered that he also had brothers and sisters at home.

"Many of them didn't react when they saw us coming. When they came to their senses and realized that the Xirong people were finally leaving, they ended up committing suicide again..."

As the soldier spoke, his mind flashed back to those half-naked women. Some of them bit their tongues without saying a word, some of them suddenly laughed like crazy and hit their heads against a pillar and died, and some of them directly drew their swords and hacked at the dead bodies of the Xirong people for a long time before finally committing suicide...

Thinking of this, the soldier suddenly sniffed and said, "They, they haven't seen their families yet... wuwuwu."

He didn't even dare to think about it. What if one of his sisters died because of this? Then, how would he feel? !
Bah! I have a bad mouth!

"My Lord, I have lost my composure."

The soldier couldn't hold back his sobs and his snot bubbles burst out. He quickly apologized to Mei Qian.

"nothing."

Hearing Mei Qian not blaming him, he didn't know if it was Xiaobing's illusion, but he always felt that the adult behind him seemed to have a hoarse voice? (End of this chapter)
