Huji Town. Early morning.

After Gu Xi and his group of seven finished their breakfast, they packed up and continued on their journey.

This time, Aunt Lian and Gu Ying are here again.

Aunt Lian always called herself a servant, rushed to do the work, and was very cautious.

Gu Ying is always timid too.

Fortunately, Gu Yuan always played with Gu Ying. Children naturally like to play with other children, so there was laughter and joy all the way.

In the afternoon, they finally arrived at the south gate of Dingxi County.

Most of the people in the group were women and children, so the guards at the city gate did not conduct too many inspections and they entered the city smoothly.

But the duo who had been following them were not so lucky.

As soon as they arrived outside the city gate, they were surrounded by a dozen soldiers who wanted to capture them.

"Hey, hey, hey, I ask you, do you have any sense? This is a major general!" Wu Dajiang shouted anxiously.

"The general has ordered that we should arrest the major general immediately if we see him! Please forgive us, major general, we are only following your orders." said the leading soldier.

Facing more than a dozen soldiers, Chu Zhao was confident that he could escape, but if he really escaped, the price he would pay when he came back would be even greater.

So he said:

"You don't have to do anything. I'll go with you. But since the general's order is to arrest me, you only need to take me back. Others are not within your scope of responsibility. Can he go?"

The leading soldier was not stupid, so how could he offend the young general to death? So he said:

"The Major General is right."

Chu Zhao quickly winked at Wu Dajiang, asking him to keep an eye on the woman.

Once he is caught, we don’t know when he will be able to leave the house. It will be very difficult to find him again.

Wu Dajiang took the order and hurried into the city.

Chu Zhao followed the soldiers directly back to the general's mansion and was locked up in a small dark room. Two soldiers were guarding the door, saying that they had to wait for the general to return to deal with him.

Chu Zhao's mother, Ren, felt sorry for her son and came to bring him food and bedding from time to time.

"Mom, when my dad hits me later, if you shed a few more tears, he will go easy on me. If you really can't cry, you can fumigate your eyes with green onions in advance."

Chu Zhao was gnawing on a chicken leg while talking to Ren.

Ren extended his index finger and tapped his forehead:

"You only know how to cause trouble. When will you let your mother have some peace of mind?"

Here, Chu Zhao had eaten and drunk his fill, and was lying on the bed waiting for his father to come back and beat him up.

On the other side, Gu Xi and others also settled down in the inn.

As they looked along the way, they felt that although Dingxi County was located in the frontier, it was not desolate at all.

Although it is not as lively as Huji Town, the streets and alleys are constantly crowded with people, and the vendors and shops are all well organized.

Qi planned to go to the General's Mansion to visit her acquaintance Ren again tomorrow.

As soon as Gu Xi entered the inn, he said that he was tired and needed to rest more. Then he went into the room, locked the door, and jumped out of the back window.

She had to leave the city quickly, otherwise the city gates would be closed.

Gu Xi had already inquired about it. Out of the north gate and fifty miles north was the Northwest Army’s base.

Since it is not wartime and the army is only stationed at the border, there is no restriction on pedestrian passage.

Residents from nearby villages and towns also often go in and out of the city.

Tonight, she has to solve the Northwest Army’s food shortage problem.

Although she had a space full of food, she was troubled by the fact that she could not take it out in public.

So, you'll have to endure some hardship tonight.

She traveled lightly, and even though she knew some martial arts skills, she still broke out in a thin layer of sweat after walking for a long time.

On the way, she saw a group of people rushing towards the city quickly. They seemed to be soldiers from the North Camp, and the leader was dressed like a general.

I thought to myself: It’s better to know how to ride a horse.

It would be very tiring for her to walk like this, and by the time she arrived, it would probably be daybreak, which would make it inconvenient for her to do anything.

However, although she can't ride a horse, she can drive a car!

When it was completely dark and there were no pedestrians on the road, Gu Xi walked into a relatively secluded forest and took out the off-road vehicle from the space.

Then he opened the door, got in the car, headed north, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away.

Although she was an unlicensed female driver, this was grassland, there were no mountain roads, and no traffic restrictions. The off-road vehicle had good performance and was easy to drive.

But Wu Dajiang, who had been following Gu Xi all the way, was completely shocked.

Because it was dark and far away, Wu Dajiang couldn't see clearly when Gu Xi entered the woods.

He was groping towards the woods when he suddenly saw a huge monster rushing out of the woods and heading straight north.

Oh my god, the baby is scared to death!

Wu Dajiang squatted on the ground.

I was so mad that I thought I had encountered a monster and that I was going to die.

The huge monster also raised a large amount of dust.

Wu Dajiang was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide without closing it in time, and he swallowed a mouthful of dirt.

Gu Xi drove north for a cup of tea and stopped the car when he saw the twinkling torches of Beidaying in the distance.

In order to avoid being discovered, she changed into the night clothes in the space.

Then he put the car into the space and used his lightness skills to approach the camp.

When she was about a mile away from the camp, she dared not go any further.

What if she was mistaken for an assassin? Wouldn't it be a big loss for her who came here to do good deeds?

Then she started taking food out of the space.

A few minutes later, food piled up into a small mountain in front of her.

The task was completed in such a simple and crude way.

Then she quietly left.

I thought to myself: I am truly a living Lei Feng, doing good deeds without leaving a name.

They had not left far when a noise came from the grain mountain. The soldiers of the Northwest Army discovered the pile of grain.

After a while, Gu Xi saw several soldiers riding horses and galloping quickly towards the county town, probably to report to the general.

She hid in the bushes and waited until the people were far away before she took out the SUV and drove back to the woods.

At this time, the city gate should have been closed. It would only be opened in case of emergency military information. Gu Xi could only spend the night in the car.

As soon as the car stopped, a golden light flashed and the system reward came.

【Complete the Northwest Army's food and grass shortage mission.】

[Completion Reward: Upgrade any skill by one level. ]

【use or not? 】

Gu Xi thought about it and decided to upgrade her camouflage skill, which was her first skill and was currently at level one.

A golden light flashed before my eyes, and the system prompted,

【The camouflage skill has been successfully upgraded.】

[Current level: Level 2 camouflage.]

The skills she now possesses are: level one light body kung fu, level one fighting skills, level two camouflage skills, and level three storage space.

Because the food has been unloaded, the storage space is now relatively empty. Before going to bed, Gu Xi was still thinking, what should he stock up?
