Chapter 339 Going to the Northern Barbarian Army Camp

Qiu Li felt that Guo Rong was acting strangely today. Shouldn't she have made a big fuss and accused Meng Jichang of spending all his time in her concubine's courtyard?

Feeling uneasy, she ordered her servants to thoroughly reprimand all the servants inside and outside the house after Meng Jichang left.

Li Yunwan finally managed to strike up a conversation with Wen Zizhou, but after talking for a long time, she couldn't get any information out of him.

Song Tingwan knew that Wen Zizhou only had food and drink on his mind and had no interest in romantic relationships.

Unable to bear seeing her unhappy, Li Yunwan only gave her half a month.

If Wen Zizhou is still the same as it is now, then it can only be said that they are destined to be apart. She will have no choice but to take Song Tingwan back to Qingzhou County to report back.

Wen Luozhi was unaware that not long after she left, Wen Zizhou had become the target of her advances. At that moment, she and Wen Zixun were looking for a place to start a fire and cook.

Wu Yao was tied up and thrown into the carriage where the food was stored. She took a deep sniff of the aroma of the food.

With her mouth covered, she tried to bang her head against the carriage to make a noise and attract attention.

Just as she was about to bump into it, she remembered that Wen Luozhi had said her face couldn't be bumped or hit, so she pulled her head back and kicked the carriage.

Hearing the commotion, Mo Li lifted the carriage door. "What are you doing?"

Wu Yao was so anxious that she kept making noises, but Mo Li finally understood what she meant when her stomach growled twice.

He turned to look at the group of people cooking not far away, then turned back and said with dissatisfaction, "Can't you eat a little less?"

"You do nothing all day but eat so much, and you get hungry so quickly."

He said it, but Wu Yao's appetite is frighteningly large; she eats more than a grown man.

If this continues, this woman might eat all our money before we even get home.

Wu Yao shrugged. What could she do? She was still useful, after all.

Wen Luozhi was still a little worried when she saw Mo Li talking to her. She got up and walked over. When she saw Wu Yao looking at her with shining eyes, she knew that Wu Yao was hungry.

She leaned against the carriage, arms crossed, and said with a hint of helplessness, "Starting today, your meals will be halved."

Wu Yao shook her head in dissatisfaction. Wen Luozhi pointed to her waist and said, "After eating too much, you'll have a rebound effect. Your waist will be as thick as a bucket."

I said that to scare her, because Wu Yao was like a bottomless pit that could never be filled.

If she keeps eating like this, she'll really bankrupt us, and we probably won't even reach the Northern Barbarian territory in the next couple of days.

She can't easily take things out of the system, so they have to hold on for a while.

Wu Yao finally gave in, and in the end she only got a bowl of white rice porridge with some pickled vegetables and a steamed bun made from two kinds of dough.

While she was still marveling at how well Wen Luozhi had treated her after finishing her meal, the rest of the group, except for Xian Nian and his apprentice, were all enjoying their meat with gusto.

A shadowy figure appeared out of nowhere at night, seemed to want to say something but hesitated, then turned to leave after a moment's thought.

"What happened? Tell me before you leave," Wen Luozhi called out to him. At this moment, Tieyi also came out.

The shadowy figure glanced at him, and he recounted the war situation in the north without a second thought.

Helian Yue had already entered the military camp, but could only offer advice from the shadows. The recent battle finally allowed Da Jing to win a round.

The morale of the Great Jing was high, but unfortunately, at this critical juncture, there was a problem with the food supplies.

The northern barbarians robbed our supplies halfway through the journey, and now the army can only last for ten days at most.

If the second batch of provisions from the imperial court arrives, the soldiers will probably be too weak to fight.

Even Helian Yue was helpless in this situation; they could only watch anxiously, unable to offer any assistance.

"Madam General, you..."

The dark figure disappeared from the spot, carrying the iron armor, leaving Wen Luozhi completely bewildered by the unfinished sentence.

From the shadows, the shadowy figure couldn't help but punch Tie Yi twice. "Why are you saying these things to the general's wife?"

"Then why did you go looking for the general's wife?" Tieyi muttered defiantly, pouting.

The shadowy figure was speechless for a moment, seemingly unaware of the situation himself.

Ironclad chuckled and hooked his arm around the shadowy figure's shoulder. "Boss, don't you also have a gut feeling?"

The dark figure, his face grim, turned to look at him, sword in hand. "What intuition?"

"I think the general's wife will have a way," Tieyi said secretly, and the shadowy figure remained silent this time.

The journey was bumpy, and Wen Luozhi couldn't sleep, so she simply sat up and tried to think of a solution.

If she used the system, she could easily solve the problem, but if she suddenly produced so much food, everyone would definitely become suspicious.

There's only one way then...

Stealing the grain and provisions from the northern barbarians!

Thinking about it, she realized this was also difficult to handle, so she finally stopped the carriage under the pretext of needing to use the restroom and called the shadowy figure.

"Could you get me a map of the Northern Barbarian army camp? The sooner the better."

The shadowy figure's eyes lit up. "I can get it to you within three days."

He vanished again, leaving Wen Luozhi with only a gust of wind.

When Wolf Overlord saw her return, he stood up and shook his fur. "Are you going to steal something?" he said confidently.

Wen Luozhi slapped him on the head. "What do you mean by stealing?"

"I went there to reclaim what belongs to our Dajing, and incidentally collect some interest."

Wolf Overlord snorted, transformed into human form, and sprawled out on the soft couch. "Then remember to take me with you then."

He definitely can't miss out on something this exciting; he might even get to show off a bit.

Three days later, they finally arrived at the territory of the Northern Barbarians. Now that Langhuai had a conflict with the Northern Barbarians, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Mo Zhengfu and his grandson, along with Wu Yao, were stuffed into the hidden compartment of the carriage.

After purchasing a cart full of goods, the group set off westward towards the Kingdom of Langhuai.

Estimating it would take another five days to reach Langhuai Kingdom, Wen Luozhi summoned Mo Zhengfu and his grandson.

"Mr. Mo, I have something to attend to that moment."

"You guys go first, I'll be there shortly after."

As she spoke, she took a box from a hidden compartment and handed it to Mo Li, saying, "There are some silver notes inside that you might need when we get back."

"If I am unable to arrive in time, you must stay close to Master Xiannian; he can protect you."

Wolf Overlord scratched at her twice, and then she remembered that she had forgotten something.

She took out a transparent, teardrop-shaped object from her sleeve, with a thin white string tied to it.

She placed the item around Mo Li's neck and instructed her, "You must not give this to anyone who asks to see it, not even close relatives."

Mo Li found it strange, but still nodded.

"Sister, you must come!"

He tightened his grip on the box, his eyes glistening with a faint moisture. Wen Luozhi smiled as she watched him, beckoning his little finger. "You came right away. You'd be a puppy if you lied to A-Li."

The group parted ways, and Wen Zixun was a little confused as to why Wen Luozhi was turning back.

The horse galloped swiftly, and upon reaching the border, Wen Luozhi turned to Wen Zixun and asked, "Sixth Brother, will you follow me no matter what I do from now on?"

Actually, Wen Luozhi didn't need to ask to know the answer. It would be better if Wen Zixun didn't follow her. If he did, she would have to come up with an explanation to cover it up.

As expected, Wen Zixun nodded heavily without even thinking.

They had already arrived here, and he had a gut feeling that his sister was about to do something big.
