Everyone is Fleeing Famine, I Have a Granary Full of Supplies

Song Ning transmigrated and found herself in an ancient era plagued by famine. Her family couldn't get enough to eat or warm clothes, and a group of problematic relatives were waiting to mock h...

Chapter 300 Exposed

As soon as Zhang Ping left, Song Ning quickly pulled her head back, gently closed the box, and slipped into the space.

She was in the space and could hear the sounds outside.

It's still early, so I might as well lie down on the floor and take a nap.

I was half asleep when I vaguely heard some noise outside.

I sat up abruptly and heard the sound of car wheels turning.

Song Ning sat quietly on the grass in the space, listening until the car wheels stopped and voices finally came from outside.

We must have arrived at the main gate of the training ground, where the guards were checking the items in the vehicle.

She heard the clanging sound of a box being opened.

After the inspection was completed and no problems were found, the person was allowed to enter.

This process lasted for about ten minutes.

The car drove all the way to the kitchen, and the person delivering the vegetables started chatting with the people in the kitchen.

This person was indeed from Beiliang. He was pretending to be from the Jin Dynasty just to fish.

Judging from the tone of his voice, quite a few have probably been caught and taken in for severe interrogation by the big boss.

However, Song Ning received good news from their conversation: the man had something to do today and probably wouldn't leave so soon, which gave her time to make her move.

It's too conspicuous during the day; it's safer at night.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was outside, Song Ning went out and found a corner not far from the kitchen to hide in. Then she went back into the space to wait for the night to take action.

Back in my room, I ate and slept to recharge. When I came out in the evening, I heard noises from the kitchen, so it must be dinnertime.

The place was tense on the outside but relaxed on the inside. She observed from the shadows for a while and found that most of the people who came to eat were from the west.

The fact that there are many guards on the west side indicates that something important is located there.

Now that most people are here to eat, it should be the time when the guards are least vigilant. Song Ning took advantage of the darkness to carefully leave the kitchen.

She even changed into a black outfit and slowly walked westward along the wall.

Patrols would occasionally pass by in the courtyard, but fortunately the light was dim and they couldn't see very clearly. She tried to walk in the shadows and managed to get through relatively smoothly.

After walking for quite a while, we finally saw a place that looked like a place to store grain and fodder.

There were several rows of houses in a row, and quite a few guards outside.

Just as I was thinking about how to get closer to those houses, chaos suddenly broke out outside.

A number of people rushed in, said something, and then everyone hurriedly ran out.

Song Ning didn't have time to think much and quickly slipped into the room while no one was around.

The house had no windows, and it was pitch black inside.

When I turned on the flashlight, I saw that the room was filled with funnel-shaped black boxes, each covered with a black cloth.

I lifted one of them and took a look. Good heavens, it wasn't any grain or fodder at all, it was gunpowder.

These rows and rows of houses are filled with gunpowder; that amount could probably flatten the entire Qingyang.

Just as she was about to put these things into her spatial storage, she suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside. Song Ning quickly slipped back into her spatial storage.

As soon as the people outside pushed the door open, they started moving things around: "Move all of these outside."

If we're going to use gunpowder, are we going to attack some city again?

Or did they discover the Northern Liang army that they had killed on the road?

After moving a few boxes out, there was no more noise outside.

With so much gunpowder, it couldn't be left to continue harming the people and soldiers of the Jin Dynasty, so Song Ning put it all into his spatial storage.

When I came out of the gunpowder room, the boxes inside were empty.

The space was filled with piles of gunpowder, and my mind was filled with the space's cursing and swearing.

Song Ning walked eastward along the wall again, and just as he reached the outside of an octagonal gate, he suddenly heard a lot of people moving around on the other side of the gate.

I sneaked in for a peek, and it was all so easy to get it.

Aren't those people in the yard carrying grain?

It seems the grain is stored in those houses in front.

After they left, Song Ningsheng emerged from the shadows and was about to sneak back in when a large hand suddenly appeared behind her and pulled her into the bushes behind her.

Just as they were being dragged inside, several patrolmen walked in through the octagonal gate.

Song Ning wisely didn't move. After the patrolmen left, the person behind him lowered his voice and said, "You're too bold to come here alone."

Song Ning was taken aback; from these words, it seemed as if they knew her.

"Waaah"

Song Ning sobbed twice before the person behind her removed their hand from her mouth.

"Who are you?"

"Never mind who I am, tell me why you came here alone? This is where the Beiliang people store gunpowder and grain, how did you get in?" The man's tone was full of disbelief.

Song Ning remained silent, and the man's voice rang out again: "I know even if you don't say it, you came in with the delivery person, right?"

They were so surprised because they knew she had come in with the food delivery person. Everyone here has to go through strict checks to enter and leave, and so far, no outsider has ever been able to get in alive.

Song Ning was startled: "How did you know?"

The man sneered: "Whose credit do you think you got here so easily all night?"

If he hadn't seen her earlier, she probably would have been discovered long ago.

Song Ning: ......

Why say it out loud?

She had just felt quite proud of herself for managing to take all that gunpowder away without being discovered.

Their true feelings had already been exposed long ago...

Okay, maybe she was just too confident.

His brow furrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you?"

She recognized this person, and yet, despite thinking for a long time, she couldn't figure out who it was, how they could appear in this heavily guarded area without being detected by the guards.

He thought of everyone he knew who had come from this time travel, but none of them matched.

The person behind her released her and finally emerged from the darkness, also dressed in night clothes and with their face covered.

Song Ning seemed to hear the person opposite her sigh slightly, with a hint of amusement in their voice: "I wasn't wrong, you really are bold. Come with me."

Her intuition told her that the man meant her no harm, so she followed him without asking any further questions.

After turning down several corridors, we finally stopped in front of a room.

The man pushed open the door, went in, turned on the light, and told her, "Wait for me here."

After saying that, he turned and went into the inner room.

Song Ning felt like she had heard that voice somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place it.

Who is it?

I walked around the house and the furnishings didn't look like a servant's room, but rather like the master's residence.

People from Northern Liang?

But she only heard about the Northern Liang Kingdom for the first time during the Chinese New Year.

Just then, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and froze.

The man had changed into a light green robe, and a slight smile played on his lips: "What, haven't seen you for days? Don't you recognize me?"

Song Ning's eyes widened, her lips parted slightly, and she involuntarily stuck out a finger: "You...you...it's you?"
