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

Chapter 274 Story
Mei Qian really made a fortune this time.

When Qi Fei was taking advantage of the situation to drive the Western Rong soldiers out of Yunzhong City, she received news from Mei Qian.

It was still a dream. Before Prince Jing told Qi Fei what Mei Qian had done, Qi Fei first lay in Prince Jing's arms and cried, talking about how she had come back in the past few years.

Prince Jing did not interrupt Qi Fei's actions. He also knew that the goal of returning to Yunzhong City had supported Qi Fei for a long time.

Now that he is back again, not only Qi Fei, but also Prince Jing is filled with emotion.

After Qi Fei calmed down, Prince Jing told Qi Fei about how Mei Qian had annihilated the enemy in Xitu and seized a large number of cattle, sheep and war horses.

Qi Fei didn't expect that Mei Qian had earned so much. As soon as she opened her eyes at dawn, she immediately ordered someone to go and pick her up.

However, when she gave the order, he had just entered Yunzhong City not long ago. It was the critical period for him to continue chasing the Western Rong soldiers who were fleeing north.

Seeing Qi Fei suddenly transfer a small group of troops, although the number of troops was small, it still caught Min You's attention.

Min You asked Qi Fei what was going on.

Qi Fei blurted out what Mei Qian had done in Xitu.

But Min You was a little confused.

"My Lord, where did you get this news?"

Qi Fei:?
She suddenly forgot that she and Mei Qian knew all this through her father's dream, but Min You didn't know?

All military letters must go through Min You's hands, and Qi Fei couldn't find any reasonable reason for the moment.

Min You looked at Qi Fei's suddenly embarrassed expression, and he had already started to imagine the reason for Qi Fei's "unspeakable secret".

Could it be that the person who delivered the message cannot be told?
Thinking of this, Min You remembered Chang'an who used to be with Mei Qian, and that was someone close to Qi Chen.

Although Chang'an was never seen with Mei Qian again, it does not mean that there was no one related to Qi Chen by Mei Qian's side.

Just after thinking so much, Min You also discovered Qi Chen's special regard for Mei Qian.

Ever since Mei Qian came to Li Su's mansion, has Qi Chen been sending people to deliver letters more frequently?
And there are more letters written specifically to Mei Qian.

If the probability of Mei Qian replying was not as high as Qi Chen sending a letter, he would not have been so slow until now.

what!
Thinking this way, Min You felt more and more that he had guessed the truth of the matter.

So, when Qi Fei couldn't think of any reasonable explanation, Min You specifically asked in a low voice:

"Is it... specially assigned to Mei Ruokong by the prince?"

"Ah, yes, yes! That's it."

Qi Fei immediately followed Min You's reasoning and answered. Anyway, her uncle was thousands of miles away, so there was no way they could confront each other face to face, right?
Afraid that Min You wouldn't believe it, Qi Fei even pretended to be profound and said, "Some things... just need to be known in each other's hearts, no need to speak out."

Seeing Qi Fei like this, Min You immediately pretended to be “I understand, I understand”, and then kept silent.

Mei Qian didn't know that the gossip about her and Qi Chen had been "deeply processed" in someone's mind again.

She is very happy now, and those people rescued by Mei Qian are even happier!
Every day brings me closer to home.

Except for some missing people from Li Su Prefecture, all the others were captured from various places in Anguo and Jiangbei. When they heard Mei Qian say that the Xirong people were being driven back to Xirong, many of them sat on the ground and cried and laughed like crazy.

These days, as I followed Mei Qian back, my mood didn’t fluctuate as much as it did at the beginning.

They are not in the mood for big ups and downs.

After all, Mei Qian has always advocated taking advantage of others when it comes to finding people to do work.

Since you guys have been rescued by me, you have to work hard and be obedient.

Thus, a group of novice herders set out on their journey.

In this way, the Guli army brought by Mei Qian would not have to waste guard manpower to look after the cattle and sheep.

A group of novice herdsmen were clumsily herding cattle and sheep, and riding horses was a bit difficult and they were about to fall.

Comparing this to the heroic Guli Army not far away, some people couldn't help but sigh:
"This war is really not a place where people can live. Even the young lady has been forced to go out to fight~"

"I can tell at a glance that you are not from Li Su Prefecture. The Guli Army is very famous in our place. It has existed in the past and specializes in fighting against horse thieves from the Western Regions. In the early years, when the Western Rong invaded Anguo, these female soldiers were the ones who fought against them all the time!"

A local from Lisu Prefecture and someone who didn't know about the Guli Army were whispering about the origin of the Guli Army.

Sigui carefully lay on the horse's back, holding a long shepherd's pole in his hand and carefully driving the sheep around. Hearing someone say this, Sigui couldn't help but ask, "Is Tianxue City a place that specializes in producing female demons?"

After these words were spoken, many local people in Li Su Prefecture either glared at Si Gui in anger or were speechless about his words.

Someone said quickly, "The young lady knew how to mount her horse and draw her sword to fight against the bandits of Xirong, but you are a man who can only kneel down and beg for mercy and live in disgrace. What kind of man are you?" "Hey, why are you scolding us for no reason?"

Sigui also knew to pull others along, but others didn't want to have anything to do with Sigui.

Regardless of whether they look down on women in their hearts, now that a female army has saved them, they know what to say.

As soon as Sigui finished speaking, someone said, "That brother wasn't scolding us at all. He was obviously scolding those ungrateful people. You're so upset after being rescued. Why don't you go to heaven?"

"I..." Sigui was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to die. He looked at the people around him who looked at him with contempt. He was a little angry and said, "I, am I wrong? Who would dare to marry such a fierce woman? My mother and my sister used to say that women should be gentle and virtuous, so that they can find a husband easily."

"Then where are your mother and sister now?"

I don't know who asked this question, but Sigui, who was thinking about what the old scholar next door usually said about how women should be, suddenly stopped talking.

He suddenly opened his eyes wide, without blinking, and two lines of tears fell as if he remembered something.

His biological mother and his gentle and obedient sister had died long ago.

"Can gentleness survive in this world?"

A tall, thin man with a dark face lying on the horse's back suddenly burst into tears. Compared with Sigui's stupid look at the moment, he opened his mouth and howled, saying that if his only daughter could have the demeanor of the Guli army women, she would not be bullied on the way of escape.

He was not so depressed that he was not discovered and tortured to death by the Xirong people. Instead, he jumped into the river and committed suicide.

"There are people like you! You have to judge whether others are good or bad? Ugh!"

The man suddenly turned his head with a look of resentment and spat in Sigui's face: "You are all servile grandsons who live in shame. How dare you blame women? Are you born without a mother?!"

This time Sigui did not talk back. He silently wiped the saliva off his face and his gaze fell on the group of female soldiers again. There was an inexplicable bit of envy in his eyes.

Then he laughed nervously and said, "Yes, I am not qualified... When I was in the workshop before, I saw with my own eyes a man who wanted to live a better life and offered his wife and daughter to the Xirong people to be abused... At that time, many people imitated him."

"brute!"

"not human."

Some people here were not like Sigui. They came from the West where people were trained to be slaves in workshops. When they heard these people, they started to curse and swear at each other.

Some people, like Sigui, also came from other workshops. When they heard his words, they remembered that similar things were happening around them.

"Later, the Xirong people were defeated again, and they wanted to take all of us slaves away. Before I left, I accidentally saw that the guy who had given his wife and daughter to the Xirong people to be raped had died.

He was hacked to death by his wife with a knife."

Sigui still remembers that the woman was covered in wounds. There was chaos and no one cared about her. She took advantage of the chaos and found her husband with a knife. Her eyes were full of anger and resentment, and she vented her anger on the man with one knife after another.

Sigui was hiding in a corner watching the horrific scene and was so scared that he almost peed his pants.

"What then?"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

"The woman committed suicide." Before Sigui finished speaking, someone suddenly retorted, "No, the woman is not dead."

When Sigui heard the voice, he turned around and saw Mei Qian riding a horse in front of them at some point.

Mei Qian's black and white eyes stared at Sigui and said, "The great revenge has been achieved, and this is a new moment in life. Why should she die?"

"But, but she was raped by the Xirong people, her body is not clean anymore..."

"Huh, are you going to commit suicide if you get bit by a dog?
Your body is not clean. What do you mean by clean? I see that you are not clean at all. Why don't you wipe your neck?"

"I..." Sigui's face flushed red. He didn't know whether the woman in front of him was the leader of the group. He didn't dare to refute, but he felt that Mei Qian's words were really insulting, so he said, "I'm just stating the facts. Why do you have to take it so seriously?"

But Mei Qian couldn't help but snorted coldly and said:
"State the facts? I think you are just making up a story. If all the suffering women in the world hear your story and are inspired to die, you will be a murderer.

There is a law in An State that says, 'Anyone who kills ten people shall be sentenced to death.' Do you want to be torn into pieces by five horses or cut into pieces by a thousand knives?"

"Sir, how do you know that I'm not telling the truth? I clearly saw it..."

When Mei Qian heard Sigui's words, she laughed and then looked at him sharply:
"Oh? Really? The defeat of the Xirong soldiers you mentioned didn't happen in Zuixing County, did it? Unfortunately, I was there during that battle, and I was also involved in some of the post-war resettlement issues.

You've never seen a woman who killed Western Rong soldiers and Western Rong spies to avenge herself and her daughter.

She also received awards and rewards from the government, and now she lives a good life. Tell me, why do I know you lied?"

There are many people like the "Four Nobles" in the world, but some people are just like dogs that can't change their eating habits and will not listen no matter what reason is thrown in front of them.

Fortunately, the four nobles here will gradually get better.
