Nangong Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

At this moment, a subordinate hurried over to report: "Prince, something terrible has happened! All the food and supplies are gone!"

Upon hearing this news, Nangong Yu's eyes widened instantly and he roared angrily: "Gone? How could it be all gone? This is impossible!"

Nangong Yu turned his gaze towards Shangguan Xi, his eyes fierce.

"Shangguan Xi, I ask you, where did you transport my food and fodder? Hand it over immediately, or I will kill you without a burial place!"

Shangguan Xi looked confused and at a loss, trying to explain himself.

"Prince, I really don't know where the food went! This definitely wasn't me who did it. It must have been that Murong Bai, it had to be him!"

However, Nangong Yu laughed coldly.

"Shangguan Xi, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Yanmen Pass is heavily guarded. It's impossible for someone to enter without being discovered. Moreover, the entire military camp's food and fodder are stored in two separate locations. If no one is familiar with the layout here, how could they all be transported away without anyone noticing? Besides you, who else could do it?"

Shangguan Xi panicked and waved his hands repeatedly to explain...

"No, Prince, it really wasn't me. I had no idea what was going on. The barracks suddenly caught fire, and when I came out, I didn't see anything. As soon as I saw Murong Bai, he knocked me unconscious, and then I appeared here."

Nangong Yu sneered, his eyes full of disdain and ridicule.

"Shangguan Xi, I think you really think I'm a fool. Humph, you actually dared to deceive me? You're simply courting death! Come, teach this ignorant fellow a lesson and let him know how powerful I am."

When Shangguan Xi heard this, he turned pale with fright and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy.

"No, Prince, listen to me. Things are really not what you think. Please believe me, it was really Murong Bai who did it! He tricked me."

Nangong Yu remained unmoved. Instead, he sneered, "Shangguan Xi, I trusted you so much, but I never thought you would betray me. You keep saying it was Murong Bai. Well, let me ask you, how did Murong Bai manage to transport all the food and fodder away without anyone noticing, despite our strong defenses? Forget about burning it all. Look at the ashes on the ground. It's impossible for such a small amount of fire to burn so much food and fodder. Explain it to me!"

Shangguan Xi was suddenly speechless and complained in his heart.

Yes, he did not see Murong Bai transporting the food with his own eyes, it was just a guess.

But now, he couldn't explain it clearly no matter what.

At this moment, one of Nangong Yu's confidants came over with a whip with barbs.

Shangguan Xi was so frightened upon seeing this that he kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Prince, Prince, please believe me, it was really Murong Bai who came in. Please give me another chance!"

Seeing his men getting closer and closer, Shangguan Xi's scalp suddenly went numb and he was so scared that he peed on the spot.

"Prince, listen to me. I know Murong Bai's weakness. Leave it to me. I will capture Murong Bai for you and we will definitely find clues to the food supply."

However, Nangong Yu had already lost his patience and gritted his teeth and spat out a word: "Hit!"

In an instant, Shangguan Xi's miserable screams were heard in the camp.

The sound seemed to be able to penetrate the sky, making people feel creepy.

Shangguan Qing was hiding in the space, a smug smile on his face, and he felt very happy in his heart: "Haha, she really deserves it! This is God's first interest. But it's not enough..."

Murong Bai looked at Shangguan Qing in his arms, his eyes full of doting, and said softly: "Qing'er, if that's the case, then let's go to Huotou Camp now and take away all their food. This way, they will be completely in trouble."

Shangguan Qing nodded, and then she gently put her arms around Murong Bai's neck, signaling that he could set off.

After a few flashes, the two arrived at the Huotou Camp.

The Huotou Camp was unusually quiet at this moment. Too many things had happened tonight and everyone was out busy with other things.

Shangguan Qing looked around, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he put all the reserves into the space without any hesitation.

She didn't spare any pots, pans, or water jars.

Seeing this, Murong Bai couldn't help laughing: "Haha, that's good now. Even if they still have food, they can't cook it."

Shangguan Qing nodded with satisfaction and responded, "That's right, that's exactly the effect we want. Murong Bai, let's go back."

Murong Bai nodded, still holding Shangguan Qing tightly, and started his journey back.

Along the way, the two of them felt particularly happy.

However, when they returned to the city of Jiahe Pass, they saw piles of corpses outside the city.

Shangguan Qing frowned, knowing that it was the old Duke who had ordered people to collect the bodies according to his instructions. Fortunately, it was winter now and the bodies would not rot.

Shangguan Qing felt very uncomfortable, but this was a battlefield, a moment of life and death.

Shangguan Qing took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then said firmly, "Murong Bai, put these bodies into the space. We will take them to exchange for our soldiers. If they don't agree to the exchange, we can send them back to their hometown to rest in peace."

Murong Bai nodded in agreement, his eyes also full of seriousness and determination. They were all soldiers, fighting for the country. These people were not wrong, they just had different positions.

The two men acted quickly, collected the bodies, returned to the camp without hesitation, and immediately called an emergency meeting.

Yan Bei had been anxiously waiting for their return. Seeing that they were safe and sound, the heavy stone in his heart finally fell.

He breathed a long sigh of relief and said with emotion: "Prince, Miss, you are finally back!"

Shangguan Qing smiled and responded, "Uncle Yanbei, I told you not to worry. Not only that, I also found Uncle Yannan, and we also did something big this time!"

Upon hearing the news, Yan Bei was so excited that he could hardly control himself. Tears flashed in his eyes and his voice trembled a little.

"Really? That's great! I didn't expect Big Brother to still be alive..."

Shangguan Qing smiled and comforted him, "This is a long story. I'll tell you in detail later. Now, let Murong Bai arrange the next matters."

Murong Bai calmly analyzed, "The king and Qing'er have seized the food and fodder at Yanmen Pass. They will run out of food tomorrow. If they continue, they will either retreat to their garrison or attack us. The latter is more likely, so we must be fully prepared."
