After quickly reading through the document, Qin Lizhi narrowed his eyes.

"Lieutenant Zhang!"

"exist!"

Lieutenant Zhang appeared looking disheveled and dirty. After the fierce battle, everyone was covered in blood and dirt.

"Go and ask if there are any wealthy households willing to exchange grain."

Mentioning this, Zhang's face visibly turned ashen.

“Young Marshal, the wealthy households are willing to continue exchanging grain. After all, the little bit they receive each day is barely enough to make ends meet. They have silver dollars and goods in their hands, so naturally, hundreds and thousands of them are willing to exchange.”

"But our grain reserves are almost empty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Lizhi's pupils contracted sharply!

He immediately got up and quickly walked into the warehouse. Sure enough, upon entering the warehouse, he could see that the grain that had been piled up high was now almost gone!

Now only two or three thin layers of rice and flour sacks remain on the ground!

"Young Marshal, what should we do?"

"The Japanese army is pressing us hard now, and our military rations are running out and won't last more than a few days."

"It doesn't matter."

Qin Lizhi loosened his clenched fist, turned around and gave the order!

"Immediately spread the word that we are out of food and are willing to exchange it for gold and silver. Anyone who wants to exchange should sign up now, or we will miss the deadline!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang's adjutant's eyes widened.

A moment later, he clearly thought of something and immediately gave Qin Lizhi a thumbs up.

"Young Marshal, that was a brilliant move!"

"As long as we get the gold and silver jewelry from them, we can use it to exchange for supplies with the fairy."

"This way, our military rations will be inexhaustible!"

"high!"

Qin Lizhi's eyes narrowed when he heard the words "little fairy".

"What fairy? Who gave you permission to call her that?"

A strong sense of crisis had already gripped Qin Lizhi's mind!

Personally, he didn't want anyone to know about Yu Yu's existence, but coincidentally, when Yu Yu called in via video, it happened to be on the battlefield.

Her presence this time must have sparked a lot of discussion!

After all, her existence was too extraordinary, and it even boosted morale, making the soldiers' blood boil and more actively throwing themselves into the battlefield!

Lieutenant Zhang: "It's Dr. Xing."

"We felt that Dr. Xing's way of addressing her was very fitting for her status as a goddess, so we simply started calling her that too."

"Shut up!"

"Give the order: anyone who dares to offend her like this again will be locked up in solitary confinement!"

"But……"

The next second, Qin Lizhi's sharp gaze swept over.

"Especially Xing Xingwen, if he's tired of living, I'll send him a bullet. From now on, it's strictly forbidden to talk about her in the army!"

"This matter is of utmost importance, are you aware of that?"

Seeing his serious expression, Lieutenant Zhang immediately realized the importance of the matter and quickly stood at attention, saying, "Yes, sir!"

"I'll give the order right away!"

"Get on with what I'm telling you right now!"

"Those who sign up for the exchange first will receive 100 jin of rice and 100 jin of wheat flour."

"Yes!"

*

Upon hearing that grain could be exchanged, the wealthy households in the mountain town responded enthusiastically.

After all, being trapped in this place and facing imminent death, these things were of no use to them.

If they can exchange for food, they can survive a little longer. Only if they live long enough can they see the dawn!

Someone immediately stepped forward.

"I'm willing to trade!"

"I have a Tang Dynasty tri-colored pottery vase here!"

"I'd be willing to trade!"

"I have a Yuan Dynasty inkstone here!"

"I—I still have calligraphy and paintings at home!"

"Lieutenant Zhang, I need to get the grain as soon as possible!"

Soon, Zhang, the adjutant, had amassed a large sum of money. Carrying a pile of the items he had exchanged, he turned and strode quickly toward the deployment room.

Meanwhile, the grain in the warehouse was quickly reduced by more than half!

Just then, a shifty-eyed face darted past the warehouse door and, while Zhang's adjutant was leading his men to transport the grain, quickly gathered information about the grain situation inside the warehouse!

As soon as Zhang the adjutant turned around, the man fled in a flash!

The man quickly disguised himself and sneaked into the enemy camp, arriving at Yan Wenyuan's residence!

"Knock knock!"

After two crisp knocks, Yan Wenyuan's tired voice rang out.

"Come in!"

Upon seeing the person enter, Yan Wenyuan's pupils contracted sharply!

Because the person in front of them was none other than Sihei's older brother, Erhei!

"What are you here for?"

Erhei didn't notice the anger in Yan Wenyuan's voice. Instead, he quietly stepped forward and whispered in his ear, "Master Yan, I sneaked into their grain warehouse today and saw Lieutenant Zhang leading people to exchange grain with wealthy households. The grain in the warehouse is almost gone!"

"I reckon they won't make it through today!"

"After lunch, they won't even have rice to cook for dinner!"

Erhei spoke with great seriousness, immersed in the joy of his impending merit, completely unaware that a fierce glint had been brewing in Yan Wenyuan's eyes!

Before he could say anything more, a force came from his neck, almost choking him!

Then Yan Wenyuan's calm face, concealing his anger, appeared before my eyes.

Yan Wenyuan: "Erhei, do you know why Sihei hasn't contacted you lately?"

Erhei couldn't make a sound, his pupils were filled with fear, and he shook his head violently, trembling.

But the next second, instead of fresh oxygen, the pressure on his neck intensified.

"Let me tell you, I personally shot Si Hei to death!"

"Guess why I shot him dead? Because he spread false information!"

"He's only been dead for two days. How about I do you a good deed and send you brothers to be reunited in the underworld?"

The fear of death gripped Sihei's head, and he shook his head violently.

But the next second, "Bang!"

Blood bloomed like flowers on his temples, and Erhei's body went limp, collapsing to the ground unwillingly.

The sound attracted the adjutant.

"Sir! What's wrong with you?!"

"Erhei is the last spy we planted next to Qin Lizhi!"

Yan Wenyuan put away his gun.

What use is useless trash?

"Yes, but..."

"How is Shintaro Ogawa doing?"

"It's said that the hospital has given up on saving him; there's no point."

"A new commander will be transferred in the next couple of days. The military camp is in complete chaos right now. Sir, what are our plans for the next step?"

A cold smile appeared on Yan Wenyuan's lips.

"What should I do? Salad!"

"Ogawa Shintaro's words really touched my heart."

"Since we're all going to die sooner or later, why should I grant these damned Japanese pirates my wish?"

"If I had known this would happen, I should never have betrayed you and become a damned traitor!"

"Sir, what do you mean?"

The adjutant was terrified.

"I've figured it out now. Working for those damned Japanese soldiers will only lead to our downfall sooner or later. Since that's the case, let's make dumplings together!"
