King Daxian showed a look of surprise on his face.

Only people from Buyuan Country would do everything they can to protect it. But she didn't look like someone from Buyuan Country.

He asked Mu Shuiqi, "Could it be that Miss Mu is also from our Buyuan Country?"

Mu Shuiqi looked at Qi Lie and repeated her answer to Qi Lie in full.

The king then asked, "It's a pity that your mother died so young. What about your father?"

Mu Shuiqi whispered: "My father and mother are both gone..."

The king asked about her sad story, but was too embarrassed to ask any more questions. He ordered A Dan to arrange a good room for Mu Shuiqi to stay in.

Mu Shuiqi declined his offer: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but I've settled down in Prince Qi Lie's camp and don't want to move."

Seeing that she had accomplished what she wanted to do and it was getting dark, Qi Lie wanted to take her back to the military camp.

In order to express his gratitude, A Dan repeatedly asked her to stay in the palace, but she refused.

She followed Qi Lie back to the main tent of the military camp, where Qi Lie held military meetings with other generals.

Heige and Chouchou were waiting for them in the tent.

"Xiu Xiu, why don't you go to bed?" Mu Shuiqi touched Xiu Xiu's head.

It's dark outside.

Stinky pouted, "I want to wait for you to come back. I feel uneasy when you are not around."

"Don't be afraid, the people from Li'e Kingdom will not launch a sneak attack tonight." Qi Lie said.

Mu Shuiqi disagreed. "Although their morale has been severely dampened today, they may come back at any time. You should not let your guard down."

Qi Lie nodded in agreement. "We have people on guard patrol every night in our camp. Princess Adan has also sent soldiers to patrol the city, and there are people keeping a close eye on what's going on outside the city gates."

Mu Shuiqi had an idea in her mind, but she didn't know whether Qi Lie would agree.

She heard from Chou Chou that in the mortal world of Xuanyu, the country of Li'e is the most powerful.

Since the Li'e Kingdom is so powerful, their army must have sufficient food and fodder supplies.

What the Buyuan Kingdom lacked most were food and soldiers.

Food and fodder are the most important.

Instead of waiting for the food and grass from Xiwa Kingdom to come from afar, it is better to rob the Li'e Kingdom's army stationed outside Tiangong City first.

Solve the urgent problem at hand.

Qi Lie saw that she was silent and wondered what she was thinking about.

"Miss Mu must be tired. Why don't you go and rest early?" Qi Lie said in a gentle voice.

Mu Shuiqi raised her bright eyes and said to Qi Lie seriously, "I want to rob the Li'e army of their food supplies tonight. Would you be willing to send someone to go with me?"

Qi Lie was shocked. She actually wanted to rob food and supplies?

This is no small matter.

The Li'e Army was stationed about ten miles outside Tiangong City.

Heiger, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up. "The Li'e army is massive, its soldiers are well-trained, and they've been fighting for years, so they're very experienced. If we're caught looting our food supplies, we'll have a hard time escaping. It'll be like walking into a wolf's den!"

Qi Lie certainly knew the danger involved, so he never thought about it.

The Li'e Army had about 200,000 soldiers stationed outside the city, and only sent about 50,000 to attack the city today.

If they were all sent over, he and Adam might not be able to resist this time.

The Li'e army was defeated today, and next time they might attack with their entire army.

"Heige, if we don't rob your food, your current food will only last about 10 days. Will it take 10 days to transport the food from Xiwa?"

Haig said, "Yes."

"Suppose that just as the food runs out, the Xiwa Kingdom's food arrives, and that would replenish the supply. But what if the Xiwa Kingdom's food can't be delivered as expected? Perhaps it's intercepted along the way, or perhaps something unexpected happens along the way, preventing it from arriving in time. How would the 100,000 soldiers here survive those days without food? Buyuan Kingdom is also short on food, and they simply can't provide you with any food."

“…” Haig was speechless.

She assumed that they had all thought about this question, but did not dare to think about it in detail.

Everyone was hoping that the food and fodder from Xiwa would be delivered on time.

"Miss Mu..." Qi Lie hesitated to speak.

"Just call me Mu Shuiqi."

"Okay, Mu Shuiqi, how do you plan to rob the food supplies?"

"Chou Chou and I will go explore the area and find the granary. Send someone else to wait for my signal. I'll try to lure away the people guarding the granary, and then we'll work together to transport the grain."

This was a serious matter, and Qi Lie didn't dare to make a decision lightly. He stroked his chin and paced back and forth in the tent, unable to make up his mind.

Would it be too difficult for him? Mu Shuiqi couldn't help but regret her impulsiveness.

"Qi Lie, let's not discuss this matter for now." Mu Shuiqi said.

Qi Lie suddenly asked, "How many people do you need to rob the food?"

"Uh...how many people do you think are enough?" Mu Shuiqi was not sure either.

Qi Lie was stunned. It was she who said she wanted to rob food, but she had no specific plan.

It seems that I was too impulsive.

Qi Lie laughed dumbly, "Never mind... You have no combat experience, so it's better not to take risks."

"Since we're going to steal, it's not appropriate to have too many people, as it will easily attract the enemy's attention. If we have too few people, we won't have enough manpower to transport the food. Do you think a hundred people will be enough?"

"One hundred people..." Qi Lie felt it was a little too few.

"Qi Lie, you can send a hundred people to lie dormant nearby first, and then come over when I give you the signal. Of course, if you feel it's dangerous and don't want to come, you can return to Tiangong City. Don't worry about me, I can leave there on my own."

Having said that, if Qi Lie doesn't send troops to cooperate with her, it would seem he is not decisive enough.

Even if we take a step back and assume that this food robbery fails, the loss of a hundred men would be painful, but would not have a big impact on the entire army.

At least there is hope for the subsequent supply of food and fodder.

"I'll tell the people below to get ready, and I'll go with you." Qi Lie finally made up his mind.

He wanted to believe her.

Just like Adam chose to believe her, and finally saved the old king's life.

Mu Shuiqi seems to be a mystery. Qi Lie can't understand her, but he is willing to choose to believe her.

Because she seemed to have infinite power, a power that brought hope to people.

Unexpectedly, Mu Shuiqi disagreed with him going. She said, "You are the commander of an army. What if you fail? A hundred thousand soldiers are waiting for you to lead them. And A Dan needs you too."

The last sentence made Qi Lie look a little embarrassed.

Mu Shuiqi wanted to ask him if he had something to hide, but she held back.

The most urgent thing is to find the granary before dark.

She and Chouchou went to explore the way first.

Haig would bring his men and pull the carts transporting food and fodder to the place they had agreed upon to wait for her letter.

About ten miles east of Tiangong City is a grassland next to a river.

This place is open and easy to spot enemy attacks. There is water here, so it is easy to get water.

The Li'e army set up camp on a relatively high slope here.

Chouchou flew high in the sky, keeping a distance from the ground.

She flew as slowly as possible so that she could see the ground clearly while avoiding being discovered by the enemy.

Looking down from the air, it is indeed easier to see the distribution of the Li'e Army.

She felt something was wrong.

She counted the number of tents and found that there were definitely not enough to accommodate more than 200,000 troops.

I didn't see the granary, and I didn't see the soldiers who were supposed to be guarding the granary.

At most, there are only 30,000 to 50,000 people left in this position.

It is possible that the team that is going to attack the city today is stationed here.

"Qiqi, what did you see?"

She said, "This isn't the only place where the Li'e Army is stationed. There's no granary here, just some rations and fodder. You see, the defenses aren't that tight."

"Where will the other soldiers be?"

"Do you see any valley or anything like that nearby?"

Chouchou looked ahead. His night vision was better than hers. He said, "There seems to be a mountain two miles ahead."

"Let's go over and take a look."
