Gu Yanming carefully helped Dong Xiao back to bed, and Ye Xinran changed the medicine for him.
The three of them then got down to business.
"Your Highness, I have something important to report." Dong Xiao's face was pale, but he still said respectfully.
Gu Yanming nodded, "You go ahead."
Dong Xiao looked at Ye Xinran beside her and hesitated.
"You can say whatever you want in front of the princess!"
Dong Xiao nodded, frowned, and said with some frustration, "Zhou Jian and Zhou Yan secretly defected to the Jin people. I guess our secret granary and military pay have also been sold to the Jin people by them!"
Ye Xinran raised an eyebrow.
Gu Yanming frowned and explained.
"For so many years, the Wucheng Palace and the Golden Armor Army have been guarding the border of Daliang. But the emperor is always suspicious, and it is common for him to withhold food and military pay.
Therefore, on the way to the north, in Yicheng, the Wucheng Palace secretly built a granary and a silver vault, just in case. "
Ye Xinran nodded.
Gu Yanming turned to Dong Xiao and asked, "Has our secret army been exposed?"
Dong Xiao shook her head. "Zhou Yan and Zhou Jian are just trying to get me to tell you something. They should know that we have a secret army near Yicheng, but they don't know where it is!"
Gu Yanming nodded, "That's good!"
"Now, the military pay and granary have been discovered by the Jin Dynasty." Gu Yanming frowned. "They will definitely take them back to the Jin Dynasty. If they can't take them away, they will destroy them. In any case, they will not leave them to us."
Ye Xinran nodded, "Where are the granaries and silver vaults?"
Gu Yanming was startled, and suddenly remembered Ye Xinran's ability, his eyes lit up. "Ranran has a way!"
Ye Xinran smiled and nodded.
Dong Xiao didn't know what the prince and princess were talking about, and didn't dare to ask more.
Ye Xinran asked Dong Xiao to rest, and she and Gu Yanming went back to the room to change clothes.
"Ranran, why are there men's clothes in your room?" Gu Yanming said a little depressed. It's not that he didn't believe Ranran, but he still wanted to hear her talk.
"What are you wearing?" Ye Xinran asked with a raised eyebrow.
Gu Yanming nodded.
"It belonged to my father in the last life! I bought it newly and was going to give it to him as a Father's Day present. But when I came here, I failed to give it to him!" He still felt a little sad after saying this. He didn't know how his father was doing now.
Gu Yanming was startled, touched his nose, and said embarrassedly, "Ranran, I'm sorry!"
Ye Xinran shook her head. "That's good. Don't keep things in your heart. Just say it out loud and make it clear!"
Gu Yanming nodded.
"You go to Dong Xiao's room first and keep an eye on him. I'll go outside the space to see if there's anyone there."
"No, it's too dangerous, I'll go with you!" Gu Yanming was worried.
Ye Xinran thought about it and said, "Okay, if there is something wrong, we can come back here."
Gu Yanming nodded and held Ye Xinran's hand.
Ye Xinran took him out of the space instantly.
Gu Yanming blinked his eyes and looked at the quaint house. He was still a little dazed after knowing that he had left Ranran's magical space. He felt as if he was in another world.
Ye Xinran first glanced around the room. The room was in a mess, and it was obvious that someone had searched it. Nothing should have been found. There was no one in the room now, and the door was casually open.
She pulled Gu Yanming to hide behind the door, and quietly lay down through the crack to look out. She found that there were people guarding outside the yard, but there was no one inside the yard.
"It seems we have to wait until night to go out!" Ye Xinran said in a low voice.
Gu Yanming nodded.
The two returned to the space.
Gu Yanming went to Dong Xiao's house to visit him.
Ye Xinran prepared breakfast.
When night came, Dong Xiao went to bed.
Gu Yanming and Ye Xinran put on their night clothes and quickly left the space. Then they went out in the dark, avoiding the gatekeepers and patrolling Jin soldiers. They quickly left the yard and headed for the secret granary.
The secret granary was located in a mountain village more than ten miles outside the city. After the two of them left the city, Ye Xinran took out his motorcycle and soon arrived at the mountain village.
Ye Xinran put away the motorcycle. Gu Yanming and Ye Xinran both had a lot of knockout pills. They did not confront the enemy head-on. They just threw a few knockout pills at the man, knocking him unconscious, and then slit his neck.
In less than half an hour, they arrived at the foot of a mountain. There was a big hole on the mountain wall. This was the entrance to the secret granary. After all the Jin soldiers on the periphery were knocked down, Gu Yanming and Ye Xinran took out their flashlights and walked in quickly.
After walking through a deep passage, we saw several large caves with food neatly arranged inside.
Ye Xinran didn't need Gu Yanming to speak, she directly put all the food into the space.
Suddenly, there were dense footsteps coming from outside.
"Hey, everyone inside, listen up! Just surrender and come out! Otherwise, I'll release poisonous smoke!"
Someone is shouting outside.
After Ye Xinran finished collecting the last of the food, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Yanming and said, "Are they setting a trap to catch us?"
Gu Yanming also reacted. He nodded, his face as gloomy as water.
"Is there anything else you want to take away?"
Ye Xinran ignored the threats from the outsiders. Poisoning, setting fire, and flooding were all useless to her. She had antidote pills, and if she was in a hurry, she could still enter the space. So she didn't take it seriously at all.
Gu Yanming thought about it, took Ye Xinran’s hand, and continued to walk inside.
The people outside saw that there was no movement and turned to look at their master.
Tuoba Yan frowned and looked to the side at the ordinary-looking woman, and said in a faint voice.
"Miss Zhou, are you sure King Wucheng is here?"
Yu Xiaodie followed Tuoba Yan and looked at Zhou Yan with contempt in her eyes.
Zhou Yan's face was pale and sinister. She was missing an arm, and although it had been carefully bandaged, it still caused her unbearable pain.
She clasped her hands together and nodded respectfully, her voice trembling as she said, "Your Highness, King Wucheng must have come! Otherwise, how would the people outside die!"
Tuoba Yan looked at the corpses of the Jin soldiers scattered all over the ground and stopped talking.
The Jin soldiers shouted inside again.
"Listen up, everyone inside. If you don't come out, I'll release poisonous smoke!"
Zhou Yan now only wanted King Wucheng and the women around him to die, so she waited impatiently.
"Your Majesty, you can just give the order to release the poisonous smoke. If you kill King Wucheng with poison, it should be a great achievement!" Zhou Yan said coldly. "There is a woman beside King Wucheng who is also very skilled in martial arts. To be on the safe side, it is most appropriate to use poisonous smoke to kill her."
Tuoba Yan frowned and looked at Yu Xiaodie beside him, wanting to hear her opinion.
Yu Xiaodie said expressionlessly, "Your Majesty, I'm a little tired. I want to go back first!"
Seeing that she looked really bad, Tuoba Yan nodded, "Then I'll send someone to see you off!"
