Jiang Ling didn't expect that San'er had such good fortune. The difficulty of going to the northern wilderness was now solved.
"You, you go in and work first, and wait until I have made all the arrangements. That Mo Xiaotong will be your stand-in, and you can come with me when the time comes."
"Oh, what are you going out for?"
Jiang Sheng came back to his senses, his eyes brightening: "Brother, you want to take me out to store the grain, right? That's great, I'll go in and harvest it first, there are still a lot of fruits."
Jiang Ling watched him disappear with her eyelids twitching. No matter how many times she watched, she couldn't accept it.
He placed his hand on his chest, calmed his breathing, and walked out.

Mo Xiaotong came to the old military doctor's tent. Leng Feng was holding a long sword, standing beside him with a cold face, staring at him straight, which brought a strong sense of oppression.
"Huh? Why are you back, little boy?"
"I... came to see Master. How are you doing lately? Your legs still hurt."
The old military doctor looked a little confused when he heard this, and said puzzledly: "It's my old cold legs. Didn't you give me a medicinal bath recipe? I soak my feet every day and I feel much better."
"Little boy, how could you be so forgetful?"
Mo Xiaotong smiled awkwardly, feeling that things and people had changed after not seeing him for a while, as if no one remembered him anymore.
An inexplicable sadness surged in my heart, my eyes became wet and I wanted to cry.
The fake one was so powerful that he completely replaced him in such a short time. If the two of them confront each other in the future, who would know who was the real one and who was the fake?
When Mo Xiaotong thought of this, he couldn't help but feel scared. He wanted to escape and run far away. Now it seemed that he was no match for the fake.
Staying here is a dead end. The masters have all been bribed by fakes and can't recognize him. Woo woo...
Seeing his expression changing from time to time, the old military doctor asked with concern: "What's wrong, little boy? You are not feeling well. If you have anything on your mind, tell the master. Don't keep it in your heart."
Mo Xiaotong shook his head with red eyes: "No, nothing happened. I feel relieved knowing that Master is doing well now."
"It's getting late, you should go to bed early."
As he said that, he stood up and was about to walk outside.
The old military doctor looked at his back and murmured, "What's wrong with this child? He's been worried lately. But his eyes are better now, which is a good thing."
Mo Xiaotong returned to the tent and waited for the cold wind to go away.
I started searching but didn't find anything valuable, so I could only pack up my clothes and run away before dawn the next day.
I spent the whole night feeling uneasy.
The next day before dawn
Mo Xiaotong went out with the bag on his back, thinking that he would be stopped and his heart was in his throat. However, the guard just took a look at him, smiled and didn't ask any questions.
Seeing the guards like this, Mo Xiaotong felt even more upset. If a real confrontation came up, he would have no chance of winning.
It was obvious that they were thinking of Mo Xiaotong, the one who could cure the plague, but he had no way of curing it. How could he win? He would only die...
After walking a few miles, we were sure we were far away from the military camp.
Mo Xiaotong wanted to find a village to rest and think about where to go. At least he had to have something to eat. It was better to live a miserable life than to die.
The sound of horse hooves came from behind me, and my heart skipped a beat. Just as I was about to hide, the road was blocked.
Leng Feng stared at him with a cold expression: "Doctor Mo, where are you going?"
"I, I'll go to the town and take a look."
"You don't need to bring so many things to town, right? Where are you packing?"
"Oh~~~~"
Jiang Ling dismounted and walked towards him step by step, with a smile on his face: "Little boy, you just came back, why are you running away?"
"Leng Feng, give the medicine to Doctor Mo and take him back to the barracks. Keep strict watch on him and don't let him leave."
"Yes, sir."
Mo Xiaotong looked at it with horror and kept backing away.
"Major General, what exactly do you want to do? I have never offended you. Why did you poison me?"
Jiang Ling had a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold. She said in a cold voice, "Don't worry, I just don't want you to talk nonsense. As long as you listen to me, I will let you go."
"when?"
"When the dust settles, as for now, I'll have to inconvenience Doctor Mo. Don't worry, I'll take care of all the food and drink expenses for you."
Leng Feng poured out the pills and fed him the poison directly.
Mo Xiaotong couldn't help coughing, and it took him a while to calm down: "The fake one is the general's man, so why bring me back? Wouldn't it be easier to just kill him?"
"Well, this has nothing to do with you. Leng Feng, take the person back."
"Yes, sir."
When the sound of horse hooves faded away, Jiang Ling glanced at the person beside him and said unhappily, "Have you finished watching the show? Let's change our clothes and I'll take you somewhere."
Jiang Sheng rubbed his face, took off the human skin mask, felt much more comfortable, and tied a black scarf on his face.
"Brother, it's ok, let's go somewhere."
"Come with me."
Jiang Ling led his men through the woods. They didn't know how much time had passed. They stood in front of the mountain wall and groped with their hands. As the mechanism was opened, clicking sounds continued to be heard.
Jiang Sheng followed him and groped around for a long time before finally getting out of the cave.
I slowly opened my eyes and looked at everything in the valley in silence.
What you see are colorful flowers, vast fields, and people working, making it look like a paradise.
I couldn't help but stare wide-eyed in disbelief at the scene before me.
Jiang Ling's lips curled slightly, and he said calmly: "No one else knows about this except you, not even Dad."
"Do you think that the army relies on the imperial court for food and fodder? If that were the case, I'm afraid the Jiang family army would have starved to death long ago."
"So this is my brother's secret granary."
"Um."
Jiang Sheng took a deep breath and felt his head buzzing.
Since my brother had already made a backup plan, why did the Jiang family end up in such a tragic situation in the previous life?
On second thought, I understood.
My brother's tragic death was too sudden, and no one else knew about the existence of this place. Later, my father was also gone, so the Jiang family naturally had no chance of making a comeback.
It’s the time and the fate!
Jiang Ling led the way in front, greeting the people working from time to time, with a gentle and kind look.
Jiang Sheng looked at the people who looked satisfied and asked in a low voice: "Brother, why are these people willing to stay here? If someone escapes, it will be troublesome."
"No, firstly, they are all foreigners. They don't speak the language and have no way to survive outside. Secondly, they hope to live a peaceful life away from the war."
"If they need anything from the outside world, I'll send it to them."
"Similarly, the price of sheltering them was that they asked their ancestors to grow food for me. I couldn't bear it at first, but later I didn't expect it to become life-saving food for the soldiers."
When Jiang Ling thought of this, the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Man's plans are ultimately inferior to God's plans!"
Jiang Sheng came back to his senses and asked in confusion, "Brother, why did you bring me here? They can't enter the space to help me collect food."
"Ah, do you want me to put the food here?"
