Time Travel and Love

Chu Qingmeng ran towards the border day and night. Feiying advised her to rest several times, but she refused. She ran two horses to death and finally arrived in Qi County. After contacting the informant, she learned that Mu Lingxue had not arrived yet. Chu Qingmeng was instantly exhausted. She found an inn, booked a room, and fell asleep as soon as she entered. Feiying looked at her like this and helplessly picked up the quilt to cover her. He sat on the footstool under the bed and took a nap.

The next morning, Feiying glanced at Chu Qingmeng and saw that she was still sleeping. He knew that she was very tired, so he did not deliberately wake her up for breakfast. At noon, Feiying woke Chu Qingmeng again and asked her to eat something before going to sleep. Chu Qingmeng was in a daze and did not want to wake up at all. Feiying saw that she lay down again after being called twice, so he had to let her wake up a little and take a nap in bed. Chu Qingmeng had no choice but to drink a bowl of porridge in a daze and then fell asleep again. Feiying had no choice but to stop calling her. At night, she still sat on the footstool under the bed and took a short nap. It was not until the next evening that Chu Qingmeng woke up and ate something. The informant said that Mu Lingxue would arrive the next morning. Chu Qingmeng went back to the room and continued to sleep.

The next morning, Feiying woke Chu Qingmeng, "Master, Princess Sinong has arrived." Chu Qingmeng paused for a moment, looking at Feiying in bewilderment. Then, he remembered that Princess Sinong was Mu Lingxue. He quickly got up, dressed, and headed straight for Mu Lingxue, who was already waiting on the path outside Qi County.

"Lingxue!" Chu Qingmeng caught up from behind on horseback.

Mu Lingxue waved and also mounted her horse. As they walked, they talked, "I've already told you the general situation in my letter. I have brought enough food for the army, but the situation has changed. The enemy has besieged the city! We can't get the supplies in! We have to find a way to get into the city."

Chu Qingmeng thought for a moment, "How many people are there?"

Mu Lingxue frowned and said, "The army besieging the city is estimated to be 100,000 strong, while the defenders are only 50,000. But I only received this number half a month ago! Now, no information can be sent in or out."

Chu Qingmeng felt the future was uncertain. The enemy had too many people. Mu Lingxue continued, "We only have those transporting food, and they're just our secret guards. Even if we were to fight ten of them alone, we wouldn't be able to break in."

Chu Qingmeng said, "Lingxue, I have four grenades on me. Do you understand chemistry? Can you make them?"

Mu Lingxue smiled. "I've already thought of it. I've been collecting materials along the way, almost a ton. But time is tight, and the grenade shell is made of a special material we don't have here, so all I can make is homemade explosives. According to the literature from our war of resistance, the explosion rate of homemade explosives is only 70%. (That's just nonsense! Don't take it seriously!) So these explosives can only be counted as 1,400 kilograms."

"That's enough! This much is enough to blow the entire Yuezhi nation into rubble!" Chu Qingmeng quickly came up with a solution. He said, "Do you have any information about their defenses?"

"Yes. Look." Then she took out the garrison map she had drawn. "Before Mo Liuyuan left for the expedition, he told me that the Yuezhi king would be accompanying the army personally, so they have a lot of momentum."

"Lingxue. Look." Chu Qingmeng pointed to a spot on the defense map and said, "Besiege Wei to save Zhao. Do you think this is feasible?"

Ling Xue's eyes lit up. "That's doable! My mind has been full of explosives and food all the way here, and I can't concentrate on looking at the defense map. If we continue at this speed, we'll be able to enter the war zone by tomorrow morning at the latest."

"Lingxue, medicine." Chu Qingmeng frowned, "I forgot, there are still medicines to prepare."

"I'm prepared, don't worry." Mu Lingxue smiled. "The problem now is that this defense map was drawn up half a month ago. We don't know what the battle situation is like in the past half month, but based on probability, it's very likely that the situation in the city is very bad."

"Forget it. I won't think about it anymore. Tomorrow is here, and we'll see the battle situation clearly. It's useless to have more plans now." Chu Qingmeng sighed deeply, reached out to Feiying and asked for a pill, threw it into his mouth, and said, "When we get close to the battle zone, we have to find a place to hide our things. If the enemy launches a raid, our efforts will be in vain."

"Yes, I have found a place." Mu Lingxue nodded.

"Have you tested your gun? Test it in advance to avoid it getting stuck at a critical moment." Chu Qingmeng took a sip of water to moisten his throat and instructed, "Let me check my ammunition reserves and we can redistribute them."

Mu Lingxue nodded. Chu Qingmeng opened his backpack and began to count the bullets. 27 pistol bullets, 28 shotgun bullets, and four grenades. After reporting the count, Chu Qingmeng said, "I'll give you all the pistol bullets. I'll take the shotgun and give you two more grenades."

Mu Lingxue nodded but said with some concern, "Can you do it? The shotgun needs to be reloaded frequently."

"It should be fine." Chu Qingmeng frowned and looked ahead with a worried look on her face. Feiying looked at her in a daze. Is this still the girl who cried like that?

It can only be said that Feiying doesn't understand Chu Qingmeng well enough. She is the kind of person who is afraid before and after something happens, but she is not calm when dealing with things.
