When Shi Wei heard that the food was gone, he grabbed the soldier by the collar and asked, "What? The food is gone? What happened?"
The Hu soldier first glanced at Qi Meng, then stammered, "Sir, this morning, we found rice grains at the door of the granary, but the door was locked. I...we suspected that after opening the granary, we found that all the food was gone."
Shi Wei was furious. He let go of the soldier, took out a whip, and hit Qi Meng in the face.
"Qi Meng, is this how you guard the food? You let the thieves steal the food right under your nose?"
Qi Meng was also confused. He quickly asked, "All the food in the four granaries is gone?"
There are five granaries in Yanbei City, two in the east and three in the west.
The one that Langbu had taken away before was the one in the east of the city.
Shi Wei immediately asked, "What about the granary in the west of the city? How is it going there?"
The soldier was only guarding the granary in the east of the city. "Sir, I don't know the situation in the west of the city yet."
At this time, Shi Wei hurriedly gathered his men and said, "Let's go to the west of the city!"
"Yes, my lord!"
So everyone immediately got on their horses and ran towards the west of the city.
Qi Meng did not dare to delay and immediately called for help and ran towards the west of the city.
At this time, they had no time to think about Qin Wan.
Because food is much more important than her. If there is no food, more Hu soldiers will starve to death.
They will also have no way to continue fighting the Han people.
At this time, Qin Wan, Zhao Zhen and others had already transported half of the grain in the last warehouse.
Although I really want to continue pretending, it’s dawn and time waits for no one.
"Zhao Zhen, it's daybreak, we have to evacuate quickly."
Zhao Zhen glanced at the soldiers carrying the food and said decisively, "Stop, don't load anymore, hurry up and take the food into the tunnel."
The soldiers did not dare to delay after receiving the order and quickly carried the food down the tunnel.
"Shi Ce, you go down too and take them away! After you leave the city, give the food to Jing Rui."
"Yes, eldest son!"
Qin Wan locked the doors of the three granaries again.
When Qin Wan saw the food on the ground, her expression changed, "Zhao Zhen, we missed some food, and the east side of the city might have been exposed."
Zhao Zhen saw Qin Wan's anxiety and said, "Don't worry, let's leave quickly."
Zhao Zhen cleaned up the area around the secret passage, including the footprints and food, for fear that the entrance to the secret passage would be discovered.
Qin Wan was carrying a small bag. She had packed her things last night. "Okay, let's go!"
Guard Xu You didn't say anything at first, but he listened attentively, and his face suddenly became nervous, "Master, it's bad, a group of people are approaching this way."
Zhao Zhen took a look at the entrance of the tunnel, but still felt unsafe. If he didn't attract the enemy's attention, they might find the entrance of the secret passage quickly.
"Xu You, take Qin Wan away first. I will attract the attention of the Hu people."
Xu You would never agree, "Master, you take the Madam away, I will..."
Qin Wan saw that the two were about to quarrel and asked, "Can't the three of us go together?"
Zhao Zhen didn't have time to explain to Qin Wan because the sound of horse hooves was getting closer.
He hurriedly carried Qin Wan on his back and said, "Let's run together!"
Xu You was also following closely behind the two of them at this time. It was not a matter of whether they should separate or not. There was no time left.
Shi Wei came with a group of people and saw three people running away. He immediately ordered, "Catch them! See who they are."
The Hu soldiers behind Shi Wei immediately chased after him on horseback.
Qi Meng saw Qin Wan behind Zhao Zhen. Although he didn't see her face, he recognized her clothes.
"Master Shi, that is Zhao Zhen's daughter-in-law, hurry up and catch her."
Shi Wei now feels annoyed whenever he hears Qi Meng talking. Although capturing people is important, food is the most important.
"Qi Meng, can you send someone to check if there is anything wrong with the granary?"
Losing one warehouse was already a serious crime. If all the others were lost, Shi Wei’s head would not be worthy of being chopped off.
Qi Meng now only wants to capture Qin Wan. In his opinion, as long as the four city gates are guarded well, the food will not be lost.
As long as he searched house by house afterwards, he would always find it, it would just take some time.
"Master Shi, don't worry. The four city gates are guarded. So much food must have not been transported out of the city yet. Now we just need to guard the city gates. It's only a matter of time before we find the food."
Shi Wei was very impatient. "Hurry up and have someone open the granary. I want to check it."
"Sir, the granary is ahead. We need to move forward a little."
Shi Wei sat on the horse and looked around, but found nothing unusual.
However, he still felt that the appearance of those three people just now was too coincidental.
However, he didn't feel that there was anything different here. There were still mottled walls and horizontal wood, and it was obvious that no one had lived here for a long time.
The only thing to see is a well in this mile.
Judging from its cracked appearance, it should be a dry well.
At this time, Qi Meng's noisy voice sounded again, "Master Shi, let's go quickly and stop wasting time here. Once we catch Qin Wan, we both have an explanation."
Shi Wei glared at Qi Meng, kicked his horse's belly, and walked forward.
When he arrived at the three granaries, Qi Meng did not see any Hu soldiers on guard, and he became panicked.
"Quick, open the position!"
Soon, the first granary was opened.
There is still half of the grain in the first warehouse.
Qi Meng originally didn't know whether the warehouse was full or half full, so he said excitedly: "Master Shi, the grain is not lost, not lost! Hahahaha!"
Shi Wei's complexion finally looked better.
If only one position was lost, the loss would be barely acceptable.
Soon, the remaining two granaries were opened.
Then everyone was dumbfounded!
It's empty inside!
Qi Meng rubbed his eyes vigorously, "Ah? How could it be, how could the food disappear without a trace?"
Shi Wei’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot!
He no longer trusts Qi Meng. This man is just a good-for-nothing.
"Come on, let's chase them. Those three people are definitely stealing food. We must catch them."
"Yes, my lord!"
Soon, the remaining dozen or so soldiers followed immediately.
When Qi Meng heard Shi Wei say this, his eyes rolled and he also thought of the person who was taking the blame.
"Let's go and catch Zhaqin. It must be her and Langbu who are behind this. Let's go catch them too."
Qi Meng didn't know that as soon as he said this, the other Hu soldiers looked at him in surprise.
They are almost saying that no one is better at telling lies than you.
But they are just soldiers and have no say, so naturally they do whatever the leader says.
Soon, Qi Meng and his men caught up.
Zhao Zhen wanted to run to the Marquis' Mansion with Qin Wan on his back, but the Hu soldiers were too close to them and they had no way to get to the Mansion.
After all, you will be caught before you even enter the secret passage.
Zhao Zhen was also a little anxious at this time. Qin Wan's belly was pressing against his back. He knew that Qin Wan was uncomfortable, but he couldn't slow down and didn't know where to run.
"Zhao Zhen, let's run to the city gate. Which city gate do you think we are closest to?"
