Judging from the time it took for the guards to return, the Crown Prince of Libei was not in the commander's tent at all.
As for why they created the illusion that others were in the main tent, it was probably to deceive others.
Lu Qiqi returned to her tent and then entered her spatial dimension.
She remembered finding sour and astringent green fruits in the forest of the space when she was fleeing famine.
The forest in the space is quite large, and if the amount of green fruit is substantial, it can largely solve the problem of scurvy caused by vitamin deficiency among the soldiers.
As soon as she landed on the grass, she saw Wangcai, with its big tail tucked between its legs, dart through the air like an arrow and rush straight toward her.
As it got closer, it slowed down its running speed and ran up to Lu Qiqi, nuzzling her skirt with its round head.
Lu Qiqi returned to the cabin, slung a bamboo basket over her shoulder, and led Wangcai to the Green Fruit Forest.
She hadn't explored the entire forest before, as it was quite large, and with the space upgrade, the forest seemed to have expanded as well.
I wonder if there's room for further upgrades in this space. If there is, it can continuously expand its territory, and who knows, it might even be able to accommodate an army.
Lost in these whimsical thoughts, she walked into the woods.
Looking up, she saw many green fruits hanging on the tree. She reached out and picked the one closest to her, wiped the dust off her sleeve, and put it in her mouth to take a small bite.
The green fruit is still very sour, but the astringency has faded. If it is allowed to grow for a while longer, the sourness will fade and it will ripen and become sweet.
However, the soldiers in the army have now been found to have scurvy, so it is impossible to wait for the green fruit to ripen and become sweet.
Despite the sour taste in her teeth, Lu Qiqi ate a green fruit and then carried a bamboo basket into the depths of the forest.
The trunk of the green fruit tree in the space was very large, with a diameter of three inches. It was unknown how long it had been growing in this space.
Looking at the tree full of green fruit, Lu Qiqi couldn't help but think of the famine when the number of green fruit was pitifully small. Could there be some special medium that caused the green fruit to not only increase in production several times over?
Just like how the space automatically upgrades when the empty land in the space is fully cultivated, is the expansion of this forest a bonus?
The further Lu Qiqi went, the more certain she became of her guess.
She estimated that the green fruits in the space could not possibly supply an army of 70,000, but they could help a small number of soldiers escape danger.
To completely cure scurvy, you need plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.
But finding an excuse to take out so many green fruits from the space and replenish the soldiers' vitamins became a major problem.
Lu Qiqi wandered around most of the woods but couldn't come up with a good solution.
So he could only carry the empty bamboo basket back to the small wooden house.
The newly added land after the space upgrade has been filled with radishes, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, which have already grown. She then carried a hoe and went down to the field to harvest them for preservation.
Radishes can be used to supplement vitamins, while potatoes and sweet potatoes can be used to replant crops.
After all, crops produced in this space can be cultivated and improved, which would likely lead to a significant increase in yield and survival rate.
Thirty thousand mu of land is definitely not enough. Even if it is just a drop in the bucket, once wave after wave of grain seeds are cultivated, the amount will be immeasurable.
Lu Qiqi directly cuts off time inside the space from time outside, which means that no matter how long she stays in the space, time outside will not flow.
The main strategy is to take advantage of time gaps to avoid being noticed by outsiders.
From this perspective, the upgrade in space leads to more rational use of space, transforming it from a low-end version to an advanced version.
After harvesting all the crops in the field, Lu Qiqi was so tired that she could barely stand up straight.
She supported her back, slowly straightened up, looked at the empty land, and thought about planting rice, wheat and corn in the open space.
Then set aside another plot of land to continue planting vegetables, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and radishes.
Ever since experiencing the famine, Lu Qiqi has always felt at ease only when she has enough food at home; otherwise, she always feels uneasy.
After working for an unknown amount of time, Lu Qiqi was covered in mud, so she took a bath in the spiritual spring water to clear her meridians and dispel her fatigue.
While her hair was still slightly damp, she left the space with her hair down.
The air inside the tent was indescribable compared to the fresh, clean air outside. It wasn't that it smelled bad, but the difference was obvious.
Lu Qiqi casually picked up a hairpin from the dressing table and tied up half of her hair, letting the waterfall of black hair cascade down her back.
"The village head? The village head!"
It was the sound of nineteen.
After not seeing each other for a few days, I suddenly heard Nineteen making a racket, and for a moment I even missed her.
Lu Qiqi lifted the tent flap and saw Nineteen and the people around him.
A familiar face appeared before my eyes.
It's Gu Shaoqing!
How did he get into the military camp?
Seeing familiar faces always brings joy, especially since Gu Shaoqing's arrival meant he brought a large amount of lime.
In this way, the supply of alcohol in the border town was guaranteed.
Looking at Gu Shaoqing's travel-worn appearance, Lu Qiqi smiled and asked, "How did you get in?"
Gu Shaoqing said, "It was Brother Changlong who found Brother Nineteen and brought me into the military camp."
Previously, the two had an employer-employee relationship; their reunion was like old friends meeting again.
Lu Qiqi didn't want to invite the person into the tent, and it wouldn't be appropriate to bring them to the wounded soldiers' camp either. Fortunately, Shijiu was quick-witted and simply brought out a stool from the main tent so that the two could talk outside.
After serving tea to the two of them quickly, Lu Qiqi asked, "Did you encounter any obstacles on your way back?"
These words naturally refer to the promise made by the chief of Tiger Mountain.
Gu Shaoqing had been traveling for several days, and his eyes were visibly bruised, but there was no sign of fatigue on his face; in fact, he looked somewhat relaxed.
He delivered the lime to the distillery, settled all the accounts, told Li Changlong that he had another matter to attend to, and then rushed into the military camp.
Setting down his teacup, Gu Shaoqing smiled and then said, "No, now that people in the martial arts world know that I've gotten on the good side of the government, I'm afraid no one will dare to stop me in the future."
The journey from Heshun Prefecture to the border town was long and fraught with complications. By using the guise of government escort, much trouble could be avoided.
Aside from desperate outlaws who are unafraid of having their entire families implicated, ordinary bandits in the mountains wouldn't do something as foolish as burning down an anthill.
As he spoke, Gu Shaoqing said, "I came here on someone's behalf to deliver some things to the village head."
This was unusual. She asked, "Who commissioned you? And what are you delivering?"
Gu Shaoqing unloaded the bundle from his back, placed it on the table, and slowly pushed it toward Lu Qiqi with his right hand, saying, "Princess, you'll know once you see it."
Lu Qiqi glanced at Gu Shaoqing suspiciously, only to see him pretend not to see her, picking up his teacup and gently skimming the foam to taste the tea.
She reached out, bent down, and untied the bundle, only to find several small cloth bags inside.
Has she opened a nesting doll?
