Before confiscating their property, they emptied the imperial city and exiled them!

After a long and arduous journey, Zhao Ziyuan, along with Lin Xiaoxiao and Eleven, finally found Song Wenjing's location.

When they lifted the tent flap and went inside, the people who were discussing things all looked up and their eyes immediately focused on Lin Xiaoxiao.

The faces of those people all showed expressions of extreme surprise, as if they had witnessed something unbelievable.

The most shocked of them all was Song Wenjing. He was sitting leisurely in his tent drinking water when his eyes fell on Lin Xiaoxiao, and he froze as if struck by lightning.

The next second, the water glass he was holding tightly slipped from his fingers and crashed to the ground with a loud bang, splashing water everywhere.

However, Lin Xiaoxiao was not disturbed by this sudden situation. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, with a faint smile in her eyes, and her beautiful eyes looked straight at Song Wenjing.

She said in a sweet voice, "What's wrong? It's only been a few days since we last met, don't you recognize me already?"

Upon hearing this, Song Wenjing snapped out of his daze and hurriedly walked to Lin Xiaoxiao's side.

He reached out and gently took Lin Xiaoxiao's delicate hand with careful, slightly trembling hands, afraid that he might accidentally hurt the person he had been thinking about day and night.

At this moment, his voice unconsciously carried a hint of longing: "You... how did you suddenly come here? Did something happen at home?" His words were full of concern and worry.

Lin Xiaoxiao blushed slightly upon hearing this. She lowered her eyes, glanced shyly at Song Wenjing, and replied softly, "No...it's nothing. Everything is fine at home. I was just worried about the situation here, so I made a special trip to check on you."

As she spoke, she slowly raised her head and turned her gaze back to Song Wenjing in front of her.

Upon seeing this, she couldn't help but feel a pang of anxiety. Song Wenjing looked noticeably thinner than he had been a few days ago, and his once handsome face now appeared somewhat haggard.

Although the war had not yet officially begun, and everyone was simply waiting for orders at the foot of the city wall, the army was short of food and supplies, and everyone had become thinner.

The village chief of Peach Blossom Village was standing in the somewhat crowded military tent. He slowly stood up, and a bright smile immediately bloomed on his weathered face.

He then said, "Don't worry, we are all safe and sound here."

The prefect of Yuncheng has already dispatched a carrier pigeon to the capital requesting assistance. In my opinion, reinforcements will arrive soon, and then this crisis we face will be easily resolved!

However, after hearing Yang Chunsheng's words, no one present showed any joy.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Song Wenjing, in particular, had just returned from the capital not long ago and were well aware of the current situation there.

Knowing full well that given the current situation there, it would be difficult to provide them with effective support.

At this moment, the enemy troops outside the city seemed to know what everyone was thinking.

These days, they have been playing with the people in the city like cats and mice, and this long and agonizing wait seems to have lasted for more than half a month.

This period of time must have dampened the enemy's enthusiasm considerably, but it also made them certain that the people in the city had been besieged to their limit and could no longer hold on.

Due to prolonged lack of food, these people's physical condition deteriorated, and they lost most of their original abundant energy.

Meanwhile, the scheduled time for the siege was drawing ever closer, and the time left for them to prepare and respond was becoming increasingly shorter.

Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at the group of people in front of her. Seeing their haggard faces and thin figures, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly, wondering why she had forgotten to bring some food.

After a moment's thought, she quickly excused herself to the others, saying, "Actually, I did bring some food with me, but just to be on the safe side, I hid it in the dense woods outside."

Now that we've located your exact location, I'll hurry over and retrieve those supplies to feed you all!

Upon hearing this, Song Wenjing, who was standing to the side, immediately expressed his concern and hurriedly said, "No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. I'd better go with you!"

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded slightly after hearing this, indicating that she agreed with his suggestion and did not refuse.

At the same time, Song Huai'an knew that the city was extremely short of food and the situation was very difficult.

But he still spoke with concern, saying, "Although life is very difficult here, we can still barely manage to get by..."

Just take care of yourselves in the city!

Song Wenjing knew Lin Xiaoxiao's secret, so he wasn't worried, but he didn't know how to explain it to these people.

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and told them about the food they had found in the abandoned courtyard.

Hearing that everything was alright at home, Song Huai'an felt much relieved.

So, Lin Xiaoxiao and Song Wenjing walked together towards the woods.

They did not attract the attention of other officers and soldiers along the way.

After they went out into the woods, they did not look for any food.

Instead, she found a secluded spot and took out a lot of steamed buns and dumplings from her spatial storage.

The steamed buns and mantou were still steaming hot.

But there's no need to worry. It's cold outside, and by the time they get back, the heat will probably have dissipated.

Song Wenjing carried the vast majority of the heavy items on his broad, sturdy shoulders.

On the way back, the two walked carefully and stealthily, trying to avoid noisy crowds as much as possible.

Their movements were somewhat furtive, like those of thieves, as they dared not make a sound for fear of attracting the attention of others.

And so, after a period of anxiety and constant hiding, the two finally made it back to their tent.

However, when the other people in the room saw the bulging bundles on their backs, everyone's eyes widened instantly, and their mouths opened into a big "O" shape.

His face was filled with disbelief and utter astonishment.

Everyone eagerly opened the bundle, their eyes sparkling with surprise when they saw it was full of food.

Lin Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "Eat quickly, everyone is starving."

Without any hesitation, everyone picked up their food and began to wolf it down.
