Shen Yuexi stood at the gate of the camp, looking to the west reluctantly. The fire dragon in the distance squirmed and gradually disappeared into the darkness.

The intensive sound of horse hooves no longer existed, and only the cool night breeze caressed her hot cheeks.

Shen Yuexi reached out and touched her lips, and Xiao Zhuo's scent still lingered on them.

My heart felt empty.

Xiao Zhuo led nine thousand cavalry to rescue the King of Xiliang. She was not worried. Xiao Zhuo had already proven his talents. She believed that Xiao Zhuo would be invincible and return in triumph. The loss in her heart was more due to the fact that her sweetheart was far away. .

This powerful man has been protecting her.

As long as he is by her side, she feels that she can face any danger. This man gives her a strong sense of security, so that she does not have to be afraid of the difficulties and obstacles in this world.

In this ancient world, women were an absolutely disadvantaged group. Women could hardly engage in any important professions, nor could they take scientific examinations, and the door to politics was directly closed. Many women's lifelong goal is to marry a good man. Although she has almighty The manufacturing machine is close to me, but like these ordinary women, she hopes for the protection of men.

In terms of emotional needs, she is no different from other women.

Fortunately, she met Xiao Zhuo, an extraordinary man. Unfortunately, this extraordinary man had his own goals.

Now, in order to establish his position, he left with his troops.

When Xiao Zhuo mounted his horse, she was so inseparable that she once thought of calling him to stop him.

Don't save the King of Xiliang, and don't worry about the Yongde Emperor. Let's find a quiet and elegant village with blooming flowers, and live our little life together. How pleasant it would be.

It's a pity that she only dared to shout these words in her heart. She knew that Xiao Zhuo would not listen.

She is just an ordinary person who works in the laboratory all day long. She is satisfied with inventing advanced equipment, is happy to eat the food she likes, and is obsessed with counting her salary.

As soon as she got here and was still lying on the ground, she was thinking about finding a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and relying on the universal manufacturing machine to live a retirement life in advance.

It's a pity that those are not what Xiao Zhuo wants. He can tolerate the worst living conditions, crawling in muddy water, sleeping on thatch, eating food without any seasoning, and dealing with rude villagers without saying anything. care.

He tolerated all the above just to one day regain his lost dignity and status.

This is his reverse scale. He doesn't allow anyone to come between him and his goal.

"Ms. Pei, Miss Pei!"

Yang Cong's panting voice came from the night in the south along with the sound of horse hooves.

She reined up the horse in front of Shen Yuexi, jumped down neatly, and said with a pout: "Prince Mei has arrived safely in Xiaogang Village, and he has been arranged to stay next door to our house. Li Zheng has ordered the rest not to disturb the prince. "

"Isn't this great?" Shen Yuexi nodded and looked at Yang Cong, "Why do you look unhappy?"

"It's not like those villagers," Yang Cong scratched his head and said, "They are not willing to cook for the prisoners."

"You didn't relay what I said to them?"

"It's paraphrased. I also said 'preferential treatment for prisoners', 'lenient treatment' and so on, and my words were worn out. But everyone said they would never feed the evil wolves like Xirong." Yang Cong spread his hands, "Everyone They are all preparing meals for our soldiers. As for the prisoners, they all said that they should just let these Xirong people starve to death."

Shen Yuexi held her forehead and was speechless.

Her request was not high, as long as each of the prisoners drank a bowl of porridge to survive the night. It seemed that this was not feasible.

In order to convince Yang Cong, who hated Xirong, she had spent a long time talking. After finally convincing Yang Cong, now it was the turn of the entire Xiaogang Village people to disagree.

It is understandable that everyone hates Xirong. Xiaogang Village has been invaded by Xirong for many years, and the two sides have already buried deep hatred. This will not be resolved in a short time. She does not want to go to the village to give a speech at this late night .

Besides, giving a speech may not work.

She lowered her head and thought.

These villagers are not enlightened people, and it won't work to talk too much to them. You have to go some other ways.

"Come, let's go find General Qiu." Shen Yuexi took Yang Cong's hand and walked into the camp.

The sergeant guarding the camp gate took Yang Cong's horse and said to Shen Yuexi: "Madam wants to see General Qiu, and a sergeant has already called."

Before Shen Yuexi could take a step, Qiu Liming walked over with a sword in his arm, followed by several sergeants. He had put on a suit of Xiliang armor, and the armor leaves rustled when he walked, reflecting the light of the camp fire.

"Madam, I don't know what you want to give me to the general?" Qiu Liming came closer, cupped his fists and bowed his hands in salute.

"General, there is no need to be polite," Shen Yuexi looked at the camp, "Can we set off on time tomorrow morning?"

In order to rush for time, she originally wanted to set off tonight. But setting up camp was not as easy as she thought. The prisoners did not need to live in tents, but the 1,500 soldiers guarding them had to have a place to live. Just clearing these roads If you want to use something, it will take you one night.

Qiu Liming said: "The general is dealing with this matter. If there is no accident, we can set off at sunrise tomorrow."

"I want to use the things left in the camp."

"Madam, there is no need to discuss with the general," Qiu Liming quickly waved his hand, "The general's duty is to protect the madam, how dare he overstep his authority. Madam, just make arrangements."

"That's good," Shen Yuexi turned to Yang Cong, "Onion, why don't you go out and send a message to the villagers?"

Yang Cong said: "No matter what Mrs. Pei says, Yang Cong's life is yours. It doesn't matter what you say. But I'm worried that it will be in vain. Everyone will not be happy."

"Go and tell everyone: Mrs. Pei said that if all these Xirong people starve to death here, five thousand corpses will rot and the plague will spread. If the wind blows the plague to Xiaogang Village, Xiaogang Village will be in danger. .”

"No way, plague...plague!" Yang Cong became frightened, "What kind of plague will we get?"

"Black Death!" Shen Yuexi made nonsense.

She found that sometimes just talking the truth didn't work, so she had to scare everyone.

Qiu Liming, who was next to him, gasped and whispered: "What kind of disease is this? Why have you never heard of it before?"

Yang Cong reached out and covered his eyes: "Just hearing the name is so scary."

"There are so many people, it will be troublesome if they starve to death," Shen Yuexi continued, "Just let everyone cook a meal for the prisoners. After the prisoners eat, they will have the strength to leave tomorrow morning. By then, the camp will be Whatever is left belongs to the villagers and they can use it as they please."

Yang Cong glanced at the entire camp and responded: "Okay, I'll go right away."

Watching Yang Cong leave, Shen Yuexi felt a little unsure. If the villagers in Xiaogang Village were determined not to make food for the captives, they would have to walk faster on the road. But the captives would have to walk slowly if they didn't eat and had no physical strength. .

What a headache.

When she first came to this world, she was an exiled prisoner. Now she transformed into a leader escorting five thousand people.

If Xiao Zhuo were here... No, he would order the killing of all these prisoners and end the trouble once and for all.

Now that she had taken over this big trouble, she had to find a way to solve it.

While she was thinking about the next thing, a sergeant came over and said, "General, the Xirong prisoners want to see my wife."

"Why do you want to see Madam all of a sudden?" Qiu Liming looked at Shen Yuexi with some confusion.

Shen Yuexi didn't understand why the Xirong people suddenly wanted to see her, so she cast doubtful eyes on the sergeant.

The sergeant patted the repeating crossbow on his back and looked at Shen Yuexi with admiration.

"The leader of them said that they want to meet a strange woman who can make a powerful weapon like a repeating crossbow."
