Everyone had rice crusts along the way, so they were all well fed and warmly dressed. Although it was a night attack, with heavy frost and dew, and the road was long and difficult to travel, it was already the easiest marching mission for the Zhenbei Army.

"Report to the General, we're almost there! The map this witch gave us is so detailed, it even marked the traps for us. We've easily penetrated deep into the area!"

Lu Yan was also in front, and he saw that the group of people guarding the prisoners were already feeling sleepy.

He had been shooting arrows since he was young and never missed his target. He and General Xiao Li had silently shot all the captives to death with arrows in less than half a minute.

"Divide into three groups. One group will follow me here to rescue the captives. Another group will follow General Li to set fire to the grain and fodder. The rest will go and look for their cattle and sheep. If they can be brought back to us, it will mean the surprise attack was successful. We'll then have a roasted whole lamb to eat when we get back!"

"it is good!"

This map and route were simply divine help. Chu Qingyin had specifically asked 101 to write down many detailed precautions for her, so everything that happened that night was under their control.

When the captives saw Lu Yan, their eyes widened as they were already half dead.

"Your Highness? You... why are you here... You haven't been captured by the Five..."

"We in Yunjin are going to perish... These barbarians are truly despicable!"

The captives in front of him were disheveled, their voices were hoarse, they had not eaten or drunk anything for many days, and they were in extreme pain but could not shed a single tear.

"Stop talking for now. I'll take you back. Today, I'm not a captive. I'm here to rescue you."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"how is this possible?"

For them, this is something they wouldn't even dare to dream of.

When they were captured, they clearly remembered that there was not much food left in the tent, and even drinking water was difficult.

Now he comes to rescue them!

Could it be that reinforcements are coming?

No, the Imperial Concubine and the Emperor originally sent Your Highness on such an impossible mission because they were displeased with him. How could they possibly send reinforcements to Your Highness?

However, although they had many doubts in their hearts, they also knew that time was urgent and did not waste time. They followed Lu Yan to leave the enemy territory as quickly as possible.

Lu Yan's mission was the most difficult of the three, but he was really quick and the people he kept around him were all the best. When he got out safely, General Xiao Li and the others had not returned yet, but there was no need to worry about them.

At this time, these captives who had been tortured all day long had the chance to take a break, drink some water, and listen to the little soldiers next to them telling the story of the witch with a smile on their faces.

The captives opened their eyes wide when they heard this:

"I... before my mother died, she did tell me the story of the witch, but I thought it was fake at first. I really deserve to be beaten..."

"Yes, this... this legendary witch actually has such divine power! God bless Yunjin!"

But Lu Yan didn't smile.

Looking at the captives in front of him, he only hated himself for having worked so hard to raise these orphans, and when they were captured, he had no idea how inhumanely they were treated by the barbarians.

Their hands were covered in blood and their bodies were covered in countless wounds. A few of them even had their legs and hands permanently disabled.

He only hated himself for not being strong enough. Of the nearly three thousand captives, only more than two thousand were left. However, among so many captives, not a single one of them said anything about betraying Lu Yan.

These people all knew that it was not easy for Lu Yan, the legitimate son, to live in the palace, but he still saved their lives.

He has given them the grace of rebirth.

"Your Highness, look what this is! Quick! Run!"

General Xiao Li had a smile on his face, but he kept moving his feet as he watched the flames in the distance glow slightly. The barbarians had not noticed yet.

We must take advantage of this opportunity to run away quickly.

This time they brought a large army, and after the surprise attack that night, the soldiers pulling the carts arrived just in time.

They had only a total of more than 500 broken carts. In addition to some seriously injured soldiers, they also had stolen cattle and sheep that had been killed and placed on the carts.

The soldier in front was riding the bus at full speed, and the rest of the people were also running fast.

"On this map, the witch even pointed out a path where we won't be chased. Let those who are carrying the wounded take this path!"

General Xiao Li led them, galloping on horseback, with the feeling of returning home with a full load.

I feel so happy and successful all the way.

The remaining Lu Yan led this group of elite soldiers and also moved at an extremely fast speed.

Not far away, they could actually see the raging flames of the barbarians, and the black smoke went straight into the sky.

"Your Highness, they won't chase us, will they?"

Lu Yan smiled faintly:

"The food and grass caught fire, and the fire was so big that they were already busy taking care of themselves, so how could they have the energy to chase after them?"

Although running on the road for the past two days was really tiring, these days were full of hope and expectation. Even on the last day of the journey back, they were all very energetic and ran very fast.

It was four hours earlier than expected.

When I arrived at my tent, it was just getting dark.

Lu Yan was happy and wrote a little more, telling Chu Qingyin everything that had happened in the past few days. He won a great victory.

Chu Qingyin originally had no relatives, but now every time she heard Lu Yan tell her this news, she felt happy.

Chu Qingyin felt really happy when she thought of so many of them sitting around and eating meat together.

"101, I'm teleporting again."

"Host, what do you want to do... They are already living so well. Besides, our system is originally designed for express delivery and for you to make money."

"The Zhenbei Army is now penniless, and you want to spend all this money?"

Chu Qingyin said:

"Let's not talk about whether it's a losing deal for me to treat them well now. Just looking at the current atmosphere in the Zhenbei Army, if I can make them happier, I will naturally be happy too."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"It's impossible for the barbarians to launch a surprise attack that day. They are enjoying beef and mutton tonight. I see they are happy, so I want to give them some wine."

101 sighed...

Life was already tough during the war, Yunjin was poor, and this was the frontier.

With Chu Qingyin's help, they had enough food and clothing and won two battles, but they actually wanted to drink?

"Beer... beer, hehe..."

Looking at Chu Qingyin's embarrassed smile, 101 suddenly felt a little sad.

The current host is just a little girl who is not even 17 years old, and there is no one in this world who loves her.

Now this group of Zhenbei soldiers respected her as a god. This affection was hard to resist, so she naturally gave it her all.

"Since you have successfully completed every mission for our East City Express these days, I will help you find a solution today."

"any solution?"

"Tonight, I'll let you dine with the Zhenbei Army."
