Chapter 121 Borrow or Steal
Seeing General Wei asking aloud, Shen Yuexi felt bad.If you let the other party know your identity, things will be even more difficult.

She thought about it, and now made up an identity: "The little girl's name is... Yang Cong, and she came here on behalf of Xiaogang Village."

Anyway, Yang Cong definitely wouldn't care, so let's borrow her identity first.

"Yang Cong?" General Wei looked Shen Yuexi up and down on the city wall, "Why are you covering your face so tightly?"

"The wind and sand along the way were fierce, and my face was chapped," Shen Yuexi said, "Although the little girl came from a poor family, she still pays attention to skin care."

General Wei snorted, turned around and said to the sergeant beside him, "You all go down to enjoy the fire."

Seeing the soldiers on the city wall leaving one after another, Shen Yuexi was puzzled.He sent all the sergeants away, as if he was going to whisper something.

After the sergeant left, General Wei replied, "Are you the deposed concubine Shen Yuexi?"

With such a tight face, the other party could recognize her?
"The general recognized the wrong person. The little girl doesn't know Shen Yuexi."

Qiu Liming also echoed: "General Wei, she is indeed a villager in Xiaogang Village."

"I knew you two were lying to me together," General Wei said to the two, "General Qiu, when you led the soldiers to pass by me, I shouldn't have opened the door to let you pass by. Later, Meng Yue led the soldiers to pass by me as well. ,right?"

"That's right, Qiu is deeply grateful for the general's kindness." Qiu Liming clasped his hands together immediately.

"Even if you didn't say it clearly, Wei knew that you were going to follow the prisoner Xiao Zhuo, why did you let you go?"

"Please tell the general."

General Wei said: "Wei's parents died at the hands of Beidi people."

Shen Yuexi understood.This General Wei is not a fool, he knows where Qiu Liming and Meng Yue are going, and he let them go out because Xiao Zhuo fought against Beidi and avenged his parents.

"So that's how it is." Qiu Liming said, "The general has clear grievances and grievances. Let Qiu repay you in the future."

"So you two don't have to lie to me. How can a dignified general be side by side with a village girl. Apart from Shen Yuexi, I can't think of anyone else."

Seeing that General Wei saw through it, Shen Yuexi no longer concealed it.He reached out and tore off the scarf, revealing his face.

"General Wei, I am Shen Yuexi."

General Wei nodded: "Shen Yuexi, Your Majesty ordered you and Xiao Zhuo to be captured. Wei should have sent troops. It's just Zhao Shuai's order that no soldier or soldier at the border guards can leave the border. Wei won't be arrested if he doesn't dare to violate the military order. is you."

Shen Yuexi saw General Wei's kindness, and said: "General Wei, I accept your wish. It's just that these five thousand captives have come all the way, and they are already hungry. I hope the general will send food to save them."

"Xirong and Beidi are raccoons of a feather, and Wei hates them deeply," General Wei said, "But my soldiers have lived in the border for a long time, and they are extremely boring. I will lead all the soldiers to hunt in the afternoon, leaving only the soldiers of the beacon tower to guard, and return at noon tomorrow. . Farewell, farewell."

After finishing speaking, General Wei turned around and left.

Qiu Liming raised his hand to shout, but General Wei had long since disappeared.He patted the horse's head and said:
"You didn't give us anything, why did you just leave?"

"No, he has already agreed," Shen Yuexi nodded and said, "This General Wei is not bad."

"What did he promise?" Second monk Qiu Liming was puzzled.

"Let's talk about it when we go back," Shen Yuexi turned the horse's head, "It's windy here, and my face will be chapped after staying for a while."

Although she started impersonating Yang Cong, she didn't want to really become Yang Cong's skin.

Back at the camp where the captives were, Yang Cong came forward to meet them.Seeing that the two returned empty-handed, he asked, "Will the border gate accept you? Didn't they distribute food and grass?"

Her voice was quite loud, and the prisoners sitting in the camp heard it clearly, and seeing Qiu Liming nodding, they immediately became commotion.Many prisoners began to cry softly.

"Prince Concubine," Qiang Lin, who was beside the group of captives, said weakly, "Princess Concubine."

Shen Yuexi got off her horse and walked quickly to Qiang Lin.Now the captives are already reeling from hunger, and many of them can no longer stand up.She was not worried that the captive would violently hurt her.

"Qiang Lin, I'm here." She squatted in front of Qiang Lin.

Qiang Lin leaned on a Xirong sergeant, and said to Shen Yuexi: "Crown Princess, you have done enough to keep us alive. It has nothing to do with you not to distribute food and grass at the border."

Shen Yuexi comforted: "Don't worry, tell everyone, if you persist for another afternoon, there will be something to eat in the evening."

Qiang Lin said: "The gods let us die here, we have no resentment."

His voice became lower and lower, and finally became inaudible, and he closed his eyes.

Seeing that he had no strength to speak, Shen Yuexi stood up and walked out of the crowd, shouted Qiu Liming aside, and said to him:
"Shuai Zhao has ordered that General Wei not be allowed to lend food and grass. He will definitely not dare. However, he has already promised to help us, and the rest depends on our own abilities."

Qiu Liming said: "Madam, the general didn't understand."

"He can't take the initiative to lend the grain and grass. If the grain and grass are stolen, he can find a reason to shirk it."

"Ma'am, you mean...to steal?"

Qiu Liming was taken aback. After all, the wife was born as a lady of the Duke's Mansion. Why are petty thefts on her mind?

"It's not stealing, it's borrowing." Shen Yuexi quickly corrected, "General Wei specifically told us that he led his soldiers to go hunting in the afternoon and return at noon tomorrow. Why did he tell us specifically to give us time to do this?"

"Ah," Qiu Liming suddenly realized, "but how to get food, the city wall is so high, and we don't have ladders."

"Since they agreed to lend food and grass, we naturally go through the city gate. What are you doing with the ladder?"

"The city gate must be closed." Qiu Liming still didn't understand, "If you force it open, wouldn't it be a siege?"

"Don't worry, I have a way to open the lock. When it's late at night, I'll go under the city wall first, and you send five hundred soldiers to follow behind. Don't use torches, but use the method of stealing camp."

Qiu Liming looked at Shen Yuexi with disbelief, what did the second lady of the Duke's Mansion learn before marrying the prince?

He scratched his head: "Why don't we go now?"

"Go now, let the sergeant see it, and it will be embarrassing for him. This thing can only be done secretly."

"Oh."

Shen Yuexi turned around and called Yang Cong, saying, "Let the captives drink some more water, everyone stay till night."

"Ma'am, everyone has had a full stomach of water," Yang Cong looked at the group of captives in embarrassment, "The more you drink, the hungrier you become, and you can't drink any more."

"Persist a little longer, there will be food." Shen Yuexi said while looking at the city wall in the distance.

She must save these five thousand lives.

In the middle of the night, she got on her horse first and galloped down the city wall alone.Qiu Liming led five hundred soldiers and followed on foot.

The city wall was pitch-black, without a single torch, and there was no sound.

Shen Yuexi jumped off the horse and reached out to touch the heavy door.

This city gate is not an official city gate for pedestrians to enter and exit. It is only three meters high and can accommodate a carriage.She tried to push it lightly, the door shook slightly, and the sound of iron locks rattled inside the door.

It became.

Shen Yuexi withdrew her hand and said silently in her heart: "Is Big Bear here?"

"Dear master, Big Bear is here. May I ask what you want to make?"
