"Hahaha……"
Suddenly, a deep laugh was heard in the room. Qin Ran quickly looked towards the source of the sound. It was Li Shiwen who had woken up.
He sat up from his bed, looked at him jokingly, and laughed, "Brother Qin, you can't do this! I don't think you have any authority as a master."
Of the three people present, only Li Shiyin could not tell that these words were meant to mock Qin Ran for being a henpecked man.
Qin Ran could tell, but he didn't care whether his ears were soft or hard. He smiled and asked Li Shiwen, "So, what do you think it takes to have the prestige of a master, Brother Li?"
Li Shiwen did not answer him, but shouted to Yuchi Zhen: "Zhenzhen, come here." Yuchi Zhen then obediently walked to his side.
"Yes, kiss me." He pointed to his bearded cheek, signaling Yuchi Zhen.
There were strangers in the room, and Yuchi was really shy, but he still kissed Li Shiwen with a blushing face.
Li Shiwen raised an eyebrow at Qin Ran and boasted, “This is prestige.”
Qin Ran watched Li Shiwen display his masculinity and smiled in his heart.
Li Shiwen thought he was in control of everything. Yuchi Zhen was very well behaved and he had the final say on all matters at home. Little did he know that Yuchi Zhen was the one who had the final say in their family.
Yuchi Zhen is a typical example of a beauty whose soft sword can cut souls. Li Shiwen had already been controlled by Yuchi Zhen invisibly.
On the surface, the relationship between the two of them is that Li Shiwen dotes on Yuchi Zhen, but in reality, it is Yuchi Zhen who dotes on Li Shiwen. Perhaps, Li Shiwen is just a big boy in Yuchi Zhen's eyes.
Qin Ran saw it clearly, smiled, and said, "Not bad."
But he was not praising Li Shiwen, but Yuchi Zhen.
Several people were joking back and forth, but there was a fool in the room who was puzzled. She asked, "But brother, you are not my sister-in-law's master!"
As soon as these words were spoken, those who understood understood, and everyone in the room burst into laughter.
Li Shiwen was unconscious for a long time because of an overabundance of elixirs. His injuries had actually been healed long ago. Now that Qin Ran had extracted the excess medicinal power from his body, he would be basically fine.
It was even a blessing in disguise. His physique improved further and became even stronger... pushing the limit of mortal strength one step further.
Yuchi Zhen helped Li Shiwen put on his coat and shoes, and helped him get up and down from the bed.
"What is the specific situation in Wuyi City?" Li Shiwen asked.
As Qin Ran judged, Li Shiwen had regained consciousness when he was still unconscious. He heard some of the words in this room and knew that it was Li Shiyin who relieved Wuyi City.
But he only heard a few words and didn't know the details.
"The situation has come to a standstill." These words were not said by Li Shiyin or Qin Ran, but by Yuchi Zhen.
Li Shiwen frowned and asked, "Wuyi City was not captured, and Xuan Qin did not withdraw its troops?"
"No." Yuchi Zhen said.
Li Shiwen's face became heavy. He walked to the window, opened it, and saw the snow outside. He was puzzled: "How can Xuan Qin's logistics withstand it?"
"With the monks, logistics is not actually a problem." Qin Ran gave him the answer.
Li Shiwen reacted and sighed.
He looked up at the gray sky for a long time, then asked Qin Ran, "Logistics... Shiyin is so powerful, can we cut off their logistics?"
“Too difficult.” Qin Ran replied, “It’s not a question of whether we can defeat them or not, but that we can’t find them. In this vast world, we need to find a few monks to transport supplies…”
He shook his head, like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Li Shiyin's fighting power is very high. If she doesn't come out of the Nascent Soul stage, there are very few people she can't defeat. And it's impossible for a Nascent Soul stage leader to deliver supplies to the army, so if someone can be found, it is possible to let Li Shiyin rob supplies.
…I just can’t find anyone.
"Could it be..." Li Shiwen looked down at the thin layer of snow piled up on the ground and whispered, "God wants to destroy us Northern Chu."
"Where did God...will come from..." Qin Ran was about to comfort Li Shiwen, telling him that man can conquer nature, but he suddenly thought of the miserable state he was in when he was going through the golden elixir tribulation, and realized that there seemed to be a God in this world. He looked out at the sky and did not continue speaking.
"Now, Xuan Qin has cultivators transporting supplies, while Bei Chu can only use the army to transport supplies. On the contrary, Wuyi City is short of resources..." Li Shiwen sighed, "How many people will be frozen to death in this snow?"
Qin Ran was silent. He wanted to say that if there were water cultivators, or if their cultivation was high enough, the weather could be controlled, either by blocking the cold air or breaking up the clouds in the sky... But he didn't say it, because he was a water cultivator, and he couldn't do it.
After talking for a while, they packed up and went out to the city to have a look. No matter how much you heard or thought about it, it was better to see it with your own eyes.
It was unknown whether Li Shiwen's injuries had not fully recovered or the drug was too strong and damaged his muscles, but in any case, he looked like he could not walk and always needed Yuchi Zhen's support;
I don’t know if Qin Ran also couldn’t walk, but Li Shiyin held one of his hands and walked close to him.
The four of them left the City Lord's Mansion and went to the street outside.
The streets were deserted, with only a few people walking around. They all hunched over to reduce their contact with the cold wind, and then ran past quickly.
But, there are people on the streets. On the contrary, there are a lot of people on the streets!
One after another, ragged, pale and skinny refugees crowded on the street, filling the street like a mass grave.
Some of them covered themselves with ragged linen clothes to keep warm, but the clothes were covered with snow; some of them had nothing on their bodies and huddled together to keep warm, but their bodies were covered with snow. Some of them shivered in the cold wind, while others did not.
These are the people of Northern Chu who were chased by Xuan Qin all the way to Wuyi City. Some people were sent to the rear area, but these were not sent away for various reasons.
This situation is truly hell on earth.
When someone passes by, they will numbly stretch out their hands to beg for food, drink and clothes.
Li Shiwen had nothing on him, so he took off his coat and handed it out. If someone else wanted it, he thought he was not afraid of the cold, so he handed out his inner clothes, leaving only a pair of trousers to cover his shame.
Li Shiyin couldn't take off her clothes and give them to others. She just walked from one end of the street to the other. Her Qiankun bag was empty. She had given away all the food, drinks and utensils in it.
Yuchi Zhen couldn't give anything, but among the four, she was the most ordinary. She was also shivering in the cold wind, and she was the one who could empathize with these people the most.
As for Qin Ran, he did not speak a word during the whole process. He did not deliver any supplies, nor did he stop the Li brothers and sisters from their childish acts of kindness. He thought he had long been numb to the various aspects of human life, but only then did he realize that he was not.
The four of them walked through the streets and finally arrived at the city wall. Zhuifeng lay on the top of the city wall, his big butt and long tail hanging on the wall, and the incense under the city wall made him look scorched yellow.
They climbed up the city wall and looked towards the Xuanqin military camp. From a distance, they saw smoke rising from the camp.
Kieran finally understood what war was.
