Don't panic if your home is confiscated or you are exiled, just empty the warehouse and stock u

The two men confronted each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Jiang Nianwei signaled her brother not to act rashly, "Brother, it's okay, just step aside first."

Jing Qiudie held her daughter's hand and said, "Nianwei, what if you..."

Jiang Nianwei shook her head gently, "Mom, we look crude and ugly, and I'm really afraid of offending these officials."

Old Qian pointed at Jiang Nianwei and Jiang Siyu and said in a serious tone, "Stop talking nonsense and wash your face quickly!"

Jiang Siyu's little hand tightly grasped her sister's sleeve, and an inexplicable uneasiness surged in her heart, "Sister, do we really have to do what he said? What if..."

Jiang Nianwei patted the back of her hand gently, "Siyu, don't be afraid. Just do as he asks."

She squatted by the stream and began to wash the dirt off her face. She did wash off a part of it at first, and the exposed part was white, and you could vaguely see that she had a good foundation. But when she washed the last piece, she couldn't wash it off no matter what. The red scar was glaring and hideous, stubbornly covering up her original beauty.

Jiang Hao's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. He knew his cousin's appearance very well. It was once a fair and flawless face. How could there be such a glaring red scar?

"This... How is this possible? It's absolutely impossible! When did this scar on your face appear?"

Jiang Nianwei sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "Cousin, do you remember the miasma forest we passed by before? There are always all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants there, and it is hard to guard against them. Once, Siyu was accidentally bitten by a poisonous insect. Although the wound was treated in time, it became like this after recovery."

Her explanation sounded reasonable, which made Lao Qian feel a little regretful.

He looked at the little girl in front of him and sighed secretly: "If it weren't for that shocking scar, this little girl could be called a beauty. What a pity, what a pity. If not, I might really be able to take you to Xizhou Island, where you can eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks. Why bother to suffer here? But now, don't scare those nobles. Go ahead and continue your work."

Seeing this, Jiang Siyu hurriedly hid behind her eldest brother, carefully stuck her head out, and looked at Jiang Nianwei with worry in her eyes.

Old Qian turned his gaze to Jiang Nianwei, who was standing next to him. He looked her up and down and asked maliciously, "What about you? Were you bitten by those poisonous insects as well?"

When Jiang Nianwei heard what he said about Xizhou Island, other ideas came to her mind. Since they wanted to take her there, she might as well go with the flow. She heard that Xizhou Island was rich in mineral resources, and she wanted to see it for herself.

So, she slowly raised her hand and gently wiped away the dirt on her face, revealing a beautiful and charming face. Even her originally dull eyes seemed to be full of autumn water.

When Lao Qian and Sun Niu saw this, they couldn't help but feel ripples in their hearts. Their eyes lingered on her and they became distracted.

Jiang Hao was standing aside, and couldn't help but laugh inwardly when he saw this.

He took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire and said, "Gentlemen, am I right? My cousin is very beautiful." There was a hint of pride in his voice.

Yunniang, who was standing behind him, witnessed all this and couldn't help but yell, "Jiang Hao, you are such a heartless person! How dare you use Nianwei as a bargaining chip? Do you still have any humanity?"

The urticaria on Yunniang's face would take some time to recover, so it did not attract the attention of the group of officers and soldiers.

Jiang Hao usually seems dull and stupid, but I didn't expect that he has been disguising himself and hiding such a cruel heart secretly.

"Aunt Yun, I advise you to control your temper." Jiang Hao's tone was threatening, "Do you think you can rest easy now that you have found someone to rely on? The world is unpredictable, who knows what will happen in the future, like now."

Just as Jing Qiudie and Jiang Yan were about to argue, Jiang Nianwei interrupted them with a smile. She gently held her mother's hand and said softly, "Mom and Dad, I am not going to suffer, but to enjoy happiness. You don't have to worry about me. Besides, all this is thanks to my cousin's great help."

She glanced at Jiang Hao beside her and gave a faint smile.

Qiu Die heard this, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, she held her daughter's hand tightly, "Nianwei, do you know where they are going to send you? How can you make such a rash decision?"

Jiang Nianwei pretended to lean on her mother's side, leaned close to her ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Mom, don't worry, I have already made a thorough plan and will never let myself get hurt. After I leave, you can explain everything to Dad."

Then he raised his voice and continued calmly, "In the future, I will be able to follow the two officials and live a life without worries about food and clothing."

Hearing this, Old Qian laughed and said, "You are a very open-minded girl. As long as you behave yourself when you get there, there will be nothing delicious to eat."

"Thank you, sir. I only ask that you do not embarrass my family."

Hearing this, Old Qian raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a smug smile on his face: "If you know what's best for you, I won't make things difficult for your family. Did you all hear that? Hurry up and get to work, don't dawdle here!"

Sun Niu's eyes never left Jiang Nianwei's beautiful face. He was secretly satisfied in his heart. If he could present such a beauty to his superior, he might be able to get a considerable reward.

Lao Qian then patted Jiang Hao on the shoulder and said, "You did a good job, kid. If we get any benefit from it, we will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Having got such a beauty, they naturally had to hide her and be careful not to let other officers and soldiers find out.

After Lao Qian took her away, he originally wanted to taste it himself first, but the woman did not resist or cry, but stared at him calmly.

Jiang Nianwei spoke slowly: "Sir, if you plan to offer me to the officials above you, please be merciful and don't leave any marks on me. They always prefer innocent girls, you should know that. We actually each get what we need, you for profit, and I for survival. If we can help each other, when I am favored by those bigwigs, they will definitely say a few good words for you. But if you force me to be rude just for your momentary selfish desires, then I can't say what I will say."

Old Qian hesitated. She was right. If a beautiful woman lost her virginity, she would indeed lose her original value.

Sun Niu seemed more rational and pragmatic. He glanced at Lao Qian and said with some admonition: "Lao Qian, we have spent a lot of effort to find such a beauty. Why are you in such a hurry? When we are transferred to Xizhou Island in the future, there will be many girls there. There are all kinds of girls. We can sleep with any one we want. Why ruin our big plan for such a small profit?"

After calming down, Lao Qian could only suppress the desire in his heart, "You are right, we haven't been to Xizhou Island this month, why not take this opportunity to take this beauty with us so that we can have some fun."

"So good."

Jiang Nianwei heard the conversation between the two and thought that her plan was half successful.

She had no way to land on Xizhou Island now, so she took this opportunity to use these two officers and soldiers to go to the island to see how rich the mineral resources there were and see if there was any chance to bring some back.

Tonight, a mining ship happened to pass by here. The two men asked Jiang Nianwei to cover her face and carefully took her to the mining ship, avoiding everyone's sight.

Jiang Nianwei said nothing along the way, silently memorizing the route in her mind.

In less than half an hour, the mining ship was safely anchored in the harbor near Xizhou Island. Jiang Nianwei walked obediently beside Sun Niu and Lao Qian, making them relax their guard a little.

Sun Niu lowered his head in thought and began to analyze the current situation. "Although we are here today, if we want to meet Dusi, I'm afraid we have to wait until tomorrow."

Old Qian could no longer contain his excitement. He looked impatiently at the camp with dim lights not far away. "Now that we are here, how can we not enjoy ourselves?"

Sun Niu shook his head helplessly, "But what about her?"

Old Qian smiled maliciously, "Then take her with you. She's just a fugitive after all. Maybe she'll stay there in the future, and we can still patronize her business."

The two men unscrupulously made vulgar jokes to Jiang Nianwei, and her brows became more and more furrowed.

However, the behavior of the two men was exactly what she wanted.

When Jiang Nianwei followed the two men into the military camp, she took out the token and the guards let her in.

After twists and turns, we arrived at the camp prostitutes' tents, and what caught our eyes were the numb smiles etched on the girls' faces.

That smile seemed to have become their armor to deal with fate, covering up the helplessness and pain in their hearts.

They were not originally from brothels, and many of them were girls from wealthy families. They were only sent here to become camp prostitutes because their brothers or parents committed crimes.

Whenever a new batch of female prisoners was sent to the military camp, high-ranking generals would personally come out and conduct a detailed screening of them.

Those women with outstanding talents and beautiful looks would naturally be kept and exempted from doing heavy physical labor.

The duty of these women is to present graceful dances, beautiful songs, or play melodious music for the soldiers to dispel the haze in their hearts.

On weekdays, they also need to serve the soldiers' daily lives and meet their physiological needs.

Old Qian was an impatient man. He couldn't wait to hug a pretty woman and walk into the inner room.

Sun Niu, on the other hand, seemed much calmer. He was not in a hurry to find his own happiness. Instead, he picked up a glass of wine, sat leisurely aside, and began to listen to the girls' singing.

Jiang Nianwei sat beside him, silent, her veil covering her heavy expression.

Sun Niu was drunk. He looked around, his eyes sweeping over the girls around him one by one, but finally fell back on Jiang Nianwei.

"Speaking of all the girls in this room," he chuckled, his voice a little drunken, "none of them is as pretty as you. This time, I, Sun Niu, have really found a treasure, hahahaha!"

Jiang Nianwei continued to pour him wine and secretly added some drugs into the wine, "Thank you for your kindness, sir."

Sun Niu's mind was as clear as a mirror. No matter how beautiful a woman's appearance was, it was just a more exquisite plaything and a tool for entertainment and indulgence.

There was an endless stream of officers and soldiers coming in and out, so Sun Niu was naturally not afraid that Jiang Nianwei would escape. He enjoyed her flattery with peace of mind.

The drug soon took effect, and Sun Niu fell limply on the table, as if he was drunk.

Jiang Nianwei pretended to be concerned and carefully helped him up. Seeing this, everyone did not suspect anything and just thought that Sun Niu had a poor alcohol tolerance and passed out early.

In fact, after Jiang Nianwei took him away, she stripped off Sun Niu's outer clothes and changed him into women's clothes.

They searched him, took away his token for entering and leaving the military camp, put on his clothes and disguised himself as a soldier.

After going out, he saw a drunken soldier coming over, so he led him to the room where Sun Niu was staying, "Here, there is a woman with a very beautiful appearance."

The officers and soldiers became interested when they heard this and walked in staggeringly.

Jiang Nianwei sneaked into Lao Qian's room quietly and found him abusing the woman under him.

When he was having the most fun, Jiang Nianwei appeared silently from behind and twisted his neck with all her strength. Old Qian's body went limp and he collapsed, no longer breathing.

The camp prostitute under him was so frightened by the sudden change that she covered her mouth and widened her eyes in horror.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. I just want to know the layout of the entire military camp."

The woman gradually calmed down and pointed at her mouth. It turned out that her tongue had been cut off. She was a mute and could not make any sound at all.

But she took out a handkerchief from somewhere, bit her finger and drew the layout on it with her blood.

Jiang Nianwei only felt the pain that she herself was feeling. Normally, she would feel pain when her skin was broken, so a bitten finger should be even more painful.

The woman gave her the layout map and pointed to the old money on the bed.

Jiang Nianwei nodded in understanding, "I will set a fire here later, you can take the opportunity to escape, and then wait for me at the coast."

When the raging fire started, the whole tent was in chaos. The mute girl had already notified the other sisters to be prepared.

Jiang Nianwei walked silently in the military camp. No one paid attention to her, and no one could tell her true identity under the uniform of an officer or soldier.

Now that she has entered this military camp, there is absolutely no reason for her to return empty-handed.

Jiang Nianwei vowed to plunder all the supplies in the military camp, even the iron ore still in the mine.

She lit another fire near Dusi's tent, and then began to shout loudly, "Oh no, oh no, there's a fire, there's a fire here!"

Taking advantage of the chaos in the military camp, where everyone was anxious to put out the fire and escape, she quietly moved through the camp until she found the hidden grain warehouse, and a smile appeared on her face.

Now all the guards were attracted by the fire, and no one was left to take care of the food and supplies.

Taking this opportunity, she quickly sneaked into the warehouse. Seeing the mountains of food and fodder in front of her, she started to act without hesitation and emptied the bags of food and fodder one by one.

Next, they came to the armory. The weapons in the military camp were far more sophisticated than those seen in the bandit camp.

She looked at these weapons carefully and couldn't help but admire them in her heart. There were so many of them that she couldn't count them. She could only move them into the walnut space one by one with her mind.

And deep in the armory, there are huge bows and crossbows and cannons, which are the most advanced weapons in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

With these things, they will be of great use if a war breaks out in the future.

In addition, there were various armors and medicines. Jiang Nianwei did not hesitate at all and decisively took all the armors and medicines, completely looting the military camp.

Jiang Nianwei then took advantage of the chaos to leave the military camp and came to the entrance of the mine. If there was only iron mines here, the imperial court would not need to send troops to station here.

There must be other more important secrets hidden among them.
