The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Even if the grain-carrying vehicle took a shortcut, it would still take ten days.

How can the soldiers resist the enemy if they have only drank rice soup for ten days?

A lot of things could happen in ten days. I thought I had reduced the enemy's soldiers to only 4,000, which was equivalent to 50,000 compared with their 50,000-strong army. However, it was Wan Lianxing who fell into crisis.

……

In Prince Pang's mansion, Shang Xi was wearing a black cycling suit, with his hair standing up high and holding a horsewhip in his hand, looking exceptionally energetic.

"Mom, I'll go to the border and come back soon."

"Shang Xi, there are so many people transporting grain, why do you have to follow them?" Madam Wan obviously did not agree with Shang Xi going out to escort the grain. First of all, there were grain transport officers, and secondly, the people transporting grain were all grown men. Shang Xi, a prince's consort, was really not suitable to be among them.

But Shang Xi had made up her mind. She knew very well the importance of escorting this batch of food. Whether or not they could win the battle depended on whether they had food. An army without food was like a grasshopper in autumn. It could not struggle for too long. Within half a month, the entire army would lose its ability to fight. Therefore, Shang Xi would rather not eat the food than not send the food to the front line.

"Mom, we have a limited amount of food stored in Fengying. We cannot afford to lose any more of it!"

"But mother is more worried about your mishap!"

Shang Xi comforted Madam Wan in soft words, "Mother, there are many people escorting the grain. My safety is not a problem, but this grain is the rations of 50,000 soldiers. I have to go. If we encounter anything strange on the road, one more person can give more advice."

Shang Xi has made all the necessary preparations. In order to prevent the food from being destroyed by insects and ants, they have prepared a large amount of medicine that can kill insects and ants, and will never give them any chance.

Shang Xi was determined and ignored all advice. She resolutely followed the convoy. If something went wrong with the food, she would not be able to use it for emergency.

Madam Wan wiped her tears as she watched the convoy go by. Her personal maid Xing'er comforted her, "Don't worry, old madam. The Crown Prince's Consort will be back in less than half a month."

"It's the end of the year now. By the time she comes back, the New Year has already passed. The emperor has gone to war in person, and Feng'er has gone with him. Now Shang Xi is gone too, and the house has suddenly become deserted!"

"Madam, the emperor is still waiting for food at the border, let the Crown Prince's Consort go!"

Madam Wan understood the truth. She nodded slightly and said with some sorrow, "Yes, no one can let the soldiers guarding the border go hungry. Xing'er, accompany me to the Buddhist temple. I want to chant sutras and pray for the soldiers at the border."

"Yes, old lady!"

Ever since she learned that Wan Lianxing was going to lead the army in person, Madam Wan began to eat vegetarian food and worship Buddha, and had no interest in taking care of household affairs.

When Shang Xi was not at home, Shang Xi took care of the household chores, but as soon as Shang Xi left, many things were left unattended.

For example, He Ye, who lived on the north side of Prince Pang's mansion, hadn't seen Shang Xi for two days. Shang Xi had been collecting food during these two days and had not visited her.

Shang Xi left in a hurry today and had no time to say goodbye to her, so He Ye didn't know that Shang Xi was not at home at this time.

She came to Shang Xi's yard alone to look for Shang Xi, but there was no one in the yard except two servants. After asking, she found out that Shang Xi had gone to the border with the grain team today.

"How long has my aunt been gone?"

"They haven't been walking for long, and they probably haven't left the city yet!" The speaker was a little maid.

Hearing this, He Ye left in a hurry. She knew that the imperial city was far away from the border. She had walked that road before, and it would take several days to travel by carriage. She wanted to find Shang Xi to ask her when she would be back.

She jogged southward, but her legs were not as fast as the carriage, and she didn't see Shang Xi's convoy even after she ran out of the city gate.

She was very frustrated, but still unwilling to give up, so she found a high hill and looked into the distance. Suddenly, He Ye pulled the corner of her mouth into a smile. No wonder she hadn't seen any trace of the convoy all the way. It turned out that her aunt had already walked ten miles away.

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at my aunt!"

"There's another woman?" The man's eyes were filled with a greedy and evil smile, and he immediately ordered, "You guys go and capture her aunt. If she's an old woman, she'll do the laundry and cooking for us. If she's a middle-aged young wife, she'll be given to the brothers to entertain them."

"Yes, boss!" The voice was so obscene that it made He Ye, who was looking into the distance, shudder all over. In the past, she was sold to a brothel, and this kind of obscene and dirty voice was heard all the time.

Suddenly, she found a group of men around her. Her legs softened and she fell to the ground. As the men approached her, she was like a lamb to be slaughtered. Seeing that these people had ill intentions towards her, she suddenly shouted, "Help, help..."

The man called the boss was terrified of He Ye, and had no sympathy at all. On the contrary, the more frightened He Ye was, the more stimulated and excited he became, and the more despicable and shameless his words became: "Don't waste your energy, just follow me back to my village. If you serve me well, I will definitely treat you well."

This man had an untidy beard and his hair was scattered around his shoulders without a bun. It was obvious that he was not a good person.

He Ye sat on the ground and kept backing away, begging the people in front of her with a trembling voice, "Please let me go. I'll give you the silver you want. I have silver." As she said that, He Ye was about to take out her purse.

He is a bandit, how could he be interested in He Ye's money? He is clearly trying to rape her.

The man called the boss reached out and grabbed He Ye's arm and carried her directly on his shoulder.

He Ye desperately kicked her legs and screamed for help, but this group of bandits clearly had no intention of letting her go. The bandits would not let her go either. This was their trophy today, and they would torture her when they returned to the top of the mountain.

At this time, Ge Dongqing, who had sent Shang Xi out of the city, happened to be passing by on his way back to the city. He saw this scene and was furious. "In broad daylight, someone in the imperial city dared to rob a commoner girl. Chase him."

There was only one servant following him, who didn't seem to know any martial arts. Whether it was a fight or a heroic act, it all depended on the number and strength of the other party! The other party had more than ten people, while they only had the master and servant. Moreover, their master's weak body probably couldn't beat a servant like him. He had concerns in his heart and wanted to dissuade them, "Master, there are only two of us, can we beat more than ten of them!"

He thought that their wise master would give up the idea of ​​rescuing people himself and use his smart brain to save people. However, when the woman on the bandit's shoulder saw the two of them, she stretched out her hand in their direction, as if she wanted to grab their life-saving straw. She also screamed for help at the top of her lungs, "Save me, save me, save me..."
