Wei Xiyin paused when she heard that, and subconsciously looked up at the tall figure in front of her.

The leader was about eight feet tall and very strong. She stood out from the crowd, making the women behind her look even more petite and charming.

She is also a woman?

Wei Xiyin asked her, "Do you have a place to stay?"

A Pan's eyes were full of vigilance, and he did not let his guard down because of her identity as a woman.

One of the centurions, named Luo, frowned slightly. This man was one of the Yuyang yamen soldiers.

Captain Luo stepped forward and said, "Girl, there is a cave nearby, at the back of the valley. It is where we hid the survivors."

Hearing that these people actually knew their hiding place, the ladies behind them all panicked.

The other side had more people and better equipment, and they were no match for them at all.

At this moment, they were like lambs to be slaughtered. Whether they lived or died seemed to depend on the thought of the boss in front of them.

"Why did you flee to the mountains?"

Wei Xiyin tried to soften her tone, "Don't worry, I mean no harm. If you're willing to truthfully report what happened outside, I can give you food."

Gong Chun behind her glanced at her when he heard that.

Is it a slap in the face?

Who said last night that it was impossible to deliver food?

Gong Chun certainly knew that she did this to find out the truth about the outside world, so that they would not be caught in the dark after leaving Yizhou and suffer from other people's tricks.

But who made Miss Wei speak so confidently last night?

The young ladies looked conflicted, not knowing whether what she said was true or not, and turned to look at the tall woman again.

A Pan's eyes were dim as he looked at the mighty army behind the boss. There were so many strong soldiers, and carts piled high with grain, which stretched as far as the eye could see.

And there are even war horses!

Even the boss's horse was dressed better than them.

Ah Pan looked at the grain carts, thought of the women behind him, gritted his teeth and said, "I can tell the boss, but we don't want the grain. Can we follow the boss?"

As soon as the words fell.

The ladies behind her were stunned.

Didn't seem to expect this option.

Many people have already realized it and turned their worries into joy.

Yes, the food will run out sooner or later, so it is better to find a strong backer for everyone, so that we don’t have to be displaced in the future.

The team in front of them is quite strong, and the leader is a woman, so they might be willing to take them in.

But A Pan was actually gambling.

The world is unfair. Women have a harder time surviving than men, and they have no way out.

If she could choose a wise leader to live with, she would be willing to work for him, just to ensure that everyone can survive.

Wei Xiyin chuckled when she heard this, "You are quite clever. No wonder you managed to survive with so many people."

A Pan: "Then will the boss agree?"

Wei Xiyin didn't respond. "First, tell me the truth about what you know, and then I'll see if I should agree to your request."

If this was in Qinghe County, she would take the person back without saying a word.

But the journey to Kyoto is long and dangerous. She would not bring a group of burdens to hold back the guards. At most, she would let them follow the mountain road and go to Qinghe County on their own.

There is strong wind and thick snow in the mountains.

I stood still, but after a while I felt my body gradually losing consciousness.

This is not the place to talk.

Wei Xiyin looked around and said without question, "Lead the way to the cave where you are staying."

A Pan looked disappointed and led the way resignedly.

Resistance is useless, they know where they are hiding. Even if she is good at fighting, she is no match for the boss's men.

Everyone followed A Pan and the others down the mountain from the back and came to a small valley.

The area around is full of rocks. It is dry in summer and no grass grows. The cave inside is very small, but it is sheltered from the wind and is actually warmer than outside.

Gong Chun was already used to being ignored, so he was looking for a suitable place on his own and preparing to set up the tent.

Seeing this, Dong Zhiyao, who was standing by, decided to join him in the fight.

They will be able to leave Yizhou in two days at most. The information outside is very important. It seems that they can't leave today.

Chang Ying was afraid of a trap, so he first let a few guards follow A Pan and others into the cave, and then escorted the girl inside.

The cave was not deep and was divided into two parts by a curtain hung with tattered cloth.

What was slightly surprising was that there were several women in the cave, lying behind the innermost curtain, and they seemed to be sick.

Wei Xiyin stepped into the cave under the protection of Chang Ying.

The cave was surrounded by rock walls, and piled on the ground were some daily necessities that they had found from somewhere. There were a lot of things, but they were arranged neatly and did not look messy.

Wei Xiyin glanced behind the curtain, looked silently for a while, and then looked away.

She was not born heartless, but the medicinal herbs she carried were limited. If she saved everyone she saw, these herbs would not last until she reached Kyoto.

What if someone among the guards falls ill in the future, and she uses the medicinal herbs to save the people...

How can she win the support of others if she doesn't put the safety of her subordinates first?

"Take off your hats, didn't you say you wanted to follow me? You have to let me see your true appearance."

Upon hearing this, A Pan took off his hat.

She looked behind the curtain with a worried look in her eyes. She had just come back from outside. Everyone was cold and it was difficult to go in.

Seeing this, the women behind him also took off their head coverings.

They were all young ladies who looked relatively young, the youngest being about thirteen or fourteen years old, and the oldest no more than thirty years old.

The first impression he gives is that he looks pale, thin, and a little listless.

Wei Xiyin was suddenly stunned.
