Chapter 352 Food
I saw two people lying in the dirty corner. No one knew how long they had been dead. Their faces were dark and blue, and something was faintly moving on their bodies.
Jiang Tangtang vomited immediately.
Lu Shiyan hurriedly carried Jiang Tangtang away from the corpse and found a new place to enter the space.
Jiang Tangtang didn't feel better until she breathed the pure air in the space.
After Lu Shiyan brought water for Jiang Tangtang to rinse her mouth, he took a handkerchief to wipe the water stains on her lips.
He looked at Jiang Tangtang worriedly, "Are you feeling better?"
Jiang Tangtang pressed his chest and said, "I'm fine."
In fact, it's not that she had never seen a corpse before, but she had never seen such a tragic one up close.
Although she said she was fine, Lu Shiyan was still worried, "Why don't you just not go there for a while, change your clothes and go to your room to sleep."
Jiang Tangtang objected without even thinking, "How can that be possible?"
She came here not only to use the space as a mobile warehouse to quickly empty Xirong's granary, but also because the space has a concealment function.
With her following him, Lu Shiyan's safety would be more guaranteed.
She stood up and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. If you're worried, I'll jump through hoops for you."
Although her complexion did look better than before, Lu Shiyan's worry remained unchanged. "Those two people must have died of the plague. We were quite close just now. We should go take a shower quickly."
Jiang Tangtang actually had a guess in her mind. She suspected that because they had been absorbing the spiritual energy of the space for a long time and eating food containing spiritual energy, their physical constitution had changed. They would not be easily infected by the plague.
But these were just her guesses and had no factual basis. She thought about it and decided not to say it out loud.
Went to the bathroom with Lu Shiyan.
After bathing, the two changed into the Xirong costumes that had been prepared earlier.
Because they are mostly nomadic people and the winter is relatively cold, the Xirong people like to wear some fur on their winter clothes.
In order to make it easier for spies to enter the Western Rong without being exposed, they not only learned about the clothing, eating habits, etc. of the Western Rong people, but also made preparations for clothing.
After changing their clothes, the two left the space again.
Some of the places the two of them were going to required Lu Shiyan's lightness skills, but the golden eagle was too big and too conspicuous, and it would be easily discovered if it flew too low, so the two of them did not bring Gugu with them when they left the space this time.
Lu Shiyan used Qinggong to take Jiang Tangtang away.
It was already early morning and it was raining heavily, but many refugees were huddled on some of the more remote streets.
These people just huddled there as if they didn't feel the heavy rain.
What terrified Jiang Tangtang the most was that some people died while just sitting there.
The living and the dead were crowded together in such confusion.
They seemed to be accustomed to this kind of thing, and their faces showed numbness as if they had already accepted their fate.
Jiang Tangtang felt like something was blocking her heart and she felt very uncomfortable.
Lu Shiyan knew that she was soft-hearted and kind, so he whispered, "After this matter is settled, let's give Xirong some medicine."
Jiang Tangtang shook her head. "There's no rush for this. We'll talk about it later."
Even if we have to give it, we have to give it in their name so that all the people in Xirong will remember their kindness.
It would be best to destroy the Xirong royal family first.
Lu Shiyan just couldn't bear to see her sad, so he comforted her. When it comes to considering the overall situation, he knows better than anyone else.
He stopped looking at the refugees on the street and quickly walked towards the granary with Jiang Tangtang.
Lu Shiyan's Qinggong skills were already good, and with Jiang Tangtang using space to hide from time to time, the two of them moved through Xiacheng like ghosts.
Soon, the two arrived at the granary mentioned in the secret report.
For the Western Rong, this battle was a gamble in which they risked everything.
Not only did he take out all the life-saving food left in the national treasury, but he also found many wealthy merchants to prepare food.
But judging from the situation in the granary, the grain has not yet been harvested.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Jiang Tangtang did not take the food away immediately. Instead, he and Lu Shiyan hid in the space.
In order to monitor the situation outside, the two took turns sleeping in the space.
Through this surveillance, the two not only learned their plans, but also learned a lot of military secrets.
The two hid in the space for a day. When the Xirong soldiers prepared the food and were about to set off, the two quietly came out of the space and transferred all the food into the space.
Before the army set out, the food and fodder that had been carefully prepared were stolen, causing an uproar in the Western Rong.
When the Xirong Emperor received the news, he was furious. "This Lingnan envoy is plotting something! Close the city gates and search every inch of the city. I will make sure they can't escape."
The general said, "Your Majesty, many people have spoken of the appearance of gods and immortals, saying that such deeds have occurred in Lingnan before."
"There are no gods. It's just Mrs. Lu's tricks."
The Xirong Emperor angrily shouted, "Investigate this thoroughly, don't let even a mosquito go."
While the Xirong Emperor was commanding his soldiers to search the city for someone, he didn't know that the two had already secretly entered his palace.
At this moment, Jiang Tangtang was studying the emperor's private vault. Lu Shiyan looked at Jiang Tangtang and said, "Opening this lock will leave traces."
Leaving traces behind, the rumor of divine punishment was broken.
Jiang Tangtang sighed regretfully, "Forget it then."
The war supplies of Xirong have been taken away, so this war should not be fought!
Seeing her regretful look, Lu Shiyan said, "It doesn't matter if there are traces left. I can fix it."
Jiang Tangtang waved her hand, "Forget it, it's not worth the bother."
After they returned, they had to go to the Western Rong soldiers stationed in Da Zhou, take away their last bit of food, and drive them back to the Western Rong.
While the two were climbing walls and climbing over rooftops in Xirong and destroying their war supplies, someone also set their sights on the granary in Bohai County.
The fourth prince Xiao Yu sneaked into Bohai County with a group of people, persuaded a group of refugees, and headed straight for the largest granary in Bohai County.
According to their people, the sea rice harvested by Bohai County this year is stored here.
Xiao Yu planned to rob a batch of food, then flee to the southwest, slowly raise troops, and then lead them to retake the country in the future.
But what he didn't expect was that after he went through so much trouble and lost a lot of men and horses, he finally entered the warehouse, and found that it was filled with sand.
Xiao Yu suddenly felt something was wrong and shouted to the soldiers he brought with him, "This is a conspiracy, everyone, retreat quickly."
But it was too late.
The soldiers who had been lying in ambush earlier rushed out and captured them all.
Although the soldiers didn't know what method Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan used, they moved the food away without anyone noticing.
But someone came to steal the food but failed to get it. Just this fact was enough to make everyone happy.
They all praised him, saying, "The general and his wife are truly foresighted. They actually predicted in advance that someone would come to steal the granary."
"That's right. You don't know the look on Xiao Yu's face when he found out that the food in the bag was actually sand."
"How could I not see it? You don't know how happy I was at that time."
