For those who are afraid of death, making a choice isn't actually that difficult.
We'll take it one step at a time. Before the knife falls, we have to get through this hurdle first.
He still had some of the money he had extorted from Xingming.
Even though I'm extremely reluctant, saving my life is the most important thing right now.
The soldiers took out the silver grain and bribed the guards at the gate, lying to them that the grain was a little wet and they wanted to take it outside to dry in the sun before bringing it back...
To avoid being punished by the military supervisor...
The guards had never seen so much silver before, and besides, they figured these two wouldn't dare to be so bold as to openly steal grain and transport it out in broad daylight...
Moreover, there are checkpoint guards...
After hesitating for a moment, he was finally swayed by the silver and let the carriage pass.
Even more ridiculously, the guards used the same methods and excuses to get the sentries at the checkpoint to let them pass as well.
They sent two men to confirm with the guards at the granary, and learned that the guards were aware of the situation and agreed to let them pass...
Even though she felt it was inappropriate, she was ultimately moved by the silver coins in her hand...
Hoping for the best, they gambled that the guard wouldn't be so audacious...
After the carriage had traveled a distance and she was sure no one was around, Ning Xi'er knocked out the two guards and put them into her spatial storage.
Several horse-drawn carriages appeared in the space, loaded with grain...
Zheng Ye had a bold guess: since the warehouse had also been moved, could it be that this time it was the granary that was being moved?!
Even though it hasn't been confirmed yet, Zheng Ye couldn't contain his excitement!
That was so satisfying!
These bastards completely disregarded the villagers' lives when they stole their steamed buns...
He just wants to see if they'll show any more compassion when they're starving and have nothing to eat!
When Ning Xi'er returned to the barracks, she remained invisible.
The two guards were released and given the antidote before they regained consciousness. They were also given a hallucinogenic drug made from datura pollen...
They will forget everything that happened before.
Ning Xi'er left satisfied and returned to the village before releasing Zheng Ye.
"Was that right? Was the grain from the granary?"
Zheng Ye, still unable to hide his excitement, immediately asked a question.
"If you're sure everyone else is as composed as you are, then you can certainly raise your voice even higher..."
Xie Zhun, sitting in a wheelchair, was pushed out to remind Zheng Ye.
Zheng Ye opened his eyes wide and immediately shut his mouth.
As evening approached, Xie Zhun looked out the door several times, and Xuan Feng and the others immediately understood that their Highness was missing the Princess Consort.
Therefore, the two went out on patrol, one kept watch around the perimeter, and Xuanfeng stayed by their side.
As soon as Ning Xi'er appeared, Xuan Lei and Xuan Dian immediately returned to report the news...
As soon as Ning Xi'er arrived in front of the village chief's house, Xuan Feng pushed Xie Zhun out.
Are you tired?
Xie Zhun looked up and asked.
Ever since he discovered that His Highness cared so much for the Princess, Zheng Ye, this blockhead, suddenly had a breakthrough...
He casually remarked, "Has the old Taoist priest returned yet? I'm starving!"
He knew better than anyone that the food was all taken out of Ning Xi'er's spatial storage...
That's just a way of changing the subject and casually moving on.
Ning Xi'er raised the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, looking somewhat smug, "Not tired at all..."
How could I be tired?
She's really looking forward to the show!
Everything is ready, except for Xingming, who is the "scapegoat"!
So, Ning Xi'er walked towards the back of the village and shouted:
"Old Taoist priest, come out here! I'm hungry!"
Villagers gradually returned, their eyes lighting up, thinking that the princess's summons would once again conjure up food for the old Taoist priest Xingming...
Only Xingming, hiding in the shadows, knew that the princess wanted to take over his business and bring the things in the space into the open...
Ning Xi'er turned her head, but didn't see Xingming anywhere. She called out, "You're not going to drink the wine!"
Xingming immediately jumped out, covered in broken branches and leaves, looking quite disheveled.
He leaned close to Ning Xi'er and pleaded, "Your Highness, please! I was just a little slow coming out, you can't withhold my wine anymore!"
Ning Xi'er gave him a disdainful look, then put him into her spatial storage and took him to the duty room's shower room...
I helped him adjust the water temperature, told him how to wash up, and took a set of clean clothes from the storage space.
When Xingming emerged from the space again, Zheng Ye couldn't help but admire him, "He looks quite presentable!"
With Ning Xi'er and Xie Zhun absent for the next three days, the prepared steamed buns were confiscated by the guards, leaving the people of the Prince's Mansion and the Duke of Huguo's Mansion barely able to fill their stomachs...
Joining the villagers, we pulled vines to make cakes...
The Duke and his wife are elderly, and Eunuch Xu is also quite old; it's not easy for them to get along...
Xingming was quick-witted enough to let everyone take a few sips of the spiritual spring liquid left by Ning Xier to prevent gastrointestinal damage.
Ning Xi'er had just released two guards; it was dark, and many soldiers had already gone to sleep...
If those two want to cause trouble, the earliest they can do so is tomorrow morning.
Therefore, Ning Xi'er conjured up food from her space that was even better than steamed buns—hot meals with a mix of meat and vegetables.
The villagers had long regarded Xingming as a deity...
Seeing so much delicious food, I felt no surprise or fear, but rather tears welled up in my eyes, and I was extremely grateful.
