At this time, Chen Xiaobei had been living in the inn. Although Liu Tie and others repeatedly persuaded him to temporarily stay at Liu Xiangnan's house, Chen Xiaobei did not want to go.
Because when he saw Liu Xiangnan, he thought of Liu Rumei.
At this time, Liu Rumei, who was thousands of miles away, also felt the pressure. In the past, they could pretend to be soldiers of the Earth Kingdom and wander around. It was not difficult to find food and drink. They could also buy it directly from someone, but it was different now. Now she had to be on guard against the real Earth Kingdom soldiers who were hunting for her, so the cat did not dare to go out in the ravine. The food accumulated in the early stage would soon be exhausted.
Xiao Qing once again proposed to go out to buy food, but Liu Rumei directly rejected it. It is too dangerous to go out now.
"Miss, if we don't go out to find food, we will run out of food in two days, and it will be really hopeless. It's such a cold day."
Liu Rumei actually didn't know this, but she didn't want to take any more risks. The people around her had survived through countless hardships.
At this moment, there was another sound of horse hooves, followed by a roar. Zheng Hai quietly went out to check, but with little effort, he came back with a joyful smile on his face, "Miss, the opportunity has come. Here comes the front." There are twenty or thirty people escorting a dozen carriages, should we stop them?"
Liu Rumei thought for a while, "No, it can't be robbed. If it is robbed, the other party will need to search for it along the way!"
"The risk in this calamity is too high. I don't think it's better to put on the military uniforms of the Earth Kingdom and follow me out. Let's try to figure out what's in the carriage first, and then act based on my look."
Zheng Hai led a dozen people, wearing the military uniforms of the Great Earth Kingdom, and followed Liu Rumei as they swaggered out of the ravine.
The soldiers escorting the people on the official road in the distance were very nervous at first when they saw some people emerging. But when they saw that they were also wearing the military uniforms of the Great Earth Kingdom, they asked loudly, "Which general are you under?" what are you doing?"
Liu Rumei waved her hand and said loudly, "On the order of His Highness the Crown Prince, we are searching for the remaining soldiers of Dacang Kingdom."
"What do you do? Where are you going?"
Obviously, Liu Rumei's answer did not arouse any suspicion on the other side, and the other side immediately responded, "We are the subordinates of General Yelu Chuang. We are leaving the capital and going to the Xiaoqing River."
Yelu Chuang, of course Liu Rumei is no stranger to this name.
Liu Rumei felt relieved when he heard that he was one of his subordinates.
"We are tired after searching for a while, and we have finished the water we brought. Can you give me some water?"
As Liu Rumei spoke, he led Zheng Hai and others forward. These soldiers did not have any suspicion. Someone reached into the carriage and took out two large water bags with little effort. One was handed to Liu Rumei and the other to Zheng Hai.
Liu Rumei took it and drank a few sips, then handed it to the soldier behind him, as did Zheng Hai.
After drinking the water and handing the water bag back, the relationship between the two parties seemed to have become closer. Liu Rumei followed them forward, and the leader of the other party asked her, "How can you be in this ravine in such a cold weather?" Suffered.”
Liu Rumei sighed, "Oh, I've been searching for several days, but there's been no progress. By the way, where are you staying at night?"
"Ah, you can live wherever you go. Soldiers are not so particular."
Liu Rumei nodded, "Then you have to suffer. By the way, do you have something to eat? Give me some ready-made food. It will take us half a day to reach our camp over the mountain."
Liu Rumei raised her finger and pointed at the mountain behind her.
These soldiers of the Great Earth Kingdom were not on guard. They opened the curtain again and took out a cloth bag. When they opened it, there were some flour cakes and the like inside.
After giving each of them two pancakes, the soldier put the bag back.
"You guys, you follow His Highness the Prince every day to eat and drink, and all we have here is noodles!"
Liu Rumei broke off a small piece and put it in her mouth. The two pancake shells were very precious, so she had to save some and take them back to the brothers in the valley.
Zheng Hai and others also responded by eating slowly, stuffing bits and pieces into their mouths.
Liu Rumei cupped her fists at these people and said, "Thank you very much. We will see you later."
The leader waved his hand and told his men to leave.
Watching them walk away, Liu Rumei turned her head and looked at Zheng Hai, "Their cars are full of wine."
"It doesn't make much sense for us to grab it, but just now they said they were going to Xiaoqinghe, which means Yeluchuang is still guarding Xiaoqinghe, and we really can't get out."
Zheng Hai sighed and looked at the two pancakes in his hand, "But in a few days, we will run out of food."
Liu Rumei looked up at the sky, "Yes, we have finished eating the food. What should we do next?"
After returning to the small ravine, everyone shared the cake and ate it.
Each of the dozen or so people brought back only two pancakes, which added up to thirty pancakes. Only three people could get one, and each person could only eat a few bites.
This is nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
Liu Rumei looked at everyone present and said, "Brothers, tell me what we should do next."
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said a word.
After a moment of silence, Xiaoqing said, "Miss, I think we might as well just go to the Xiaoqing River and cross the stone bridge. How long will it take to wait like this?"
Liu Rumei shook her head, "Relying on dozens of us to strengthen the Xiaoqing River is undoubtedly like throwing an egg at a stone."
"We have to preserve our strength."
"Everyone. That's what I think. We can easily be exposed in this wilderness."
There is a town fifty miles from here to the capital.
We went to the town and found some inns to stay at.
Hearing this, Zheng Hai opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Miss, the Great Earth Kingdom is looking for us, and we are running towards his capital. Aren't we surrendering to a trap?"
Liu Rumei smiled slightly: "I don't think Jonah would have thought that we would dare to go to a crowded place, so his main focus is on searching in this wilderness. After he searches for a while and can't find anything, maybe he will slowly Stop it."
"Okay, it's settled, everyone, rest, we'll set out after dark."
Everyone ate something and stayed in the ravine until dark, then tidied up and set off.
In order to be more concealed, they did not dare to light torches or light up lamps, so that if they encountered a search team and saw the firelight from a distance, they could avoid it.
For them, fifty miles is only a matter of an hour.
It's one hundred and fifty miles from Yujia Town to the capital, almost a day's journey, so this town is quite prosperous.
There are many inns and restaurants in the town, but it is winter now, so business is naturally not so good in the middle of winter.
Liu Rumei ordered everyone to spread out and stay in one inn for more than ten or twenty people. Find a few more inns and keep in touch on weekdays. This would be okay and prevent them from being wiped out by the enemy.
