The Rise of a Farm Girl

Chapter 112 Food Delivered

Xuanyuan Lei and his men's military camp was located ten miles away from the imperial city, in a relatively remote woods.

It took Wang Jingru some effort to find it. When she arrived at the gate of the military camp, soldiers stopped her.

This is a military camp, please leave immediately. No outsiders are allowed to approach.

Wang Jingru took out the token, and the soldier saluted her and said, "Princess, please wait a moment." Then the soldier entered the barracks and went to report to the prince.

Xuanyuan Lei was also anxiously waiting in the military camp, having been out of food for two days. Prince Gong led a group of people to buy food from a nearby farm.

Just as I was worrying, a soldier came running in, panting, and said, "My Lord, there is a princess outside who wants to see you."

Before the soldier could catch his breath and finish his words, Xuanyuan Lei ran out.

The soldiers stood there in a daze, the prince ran too fast.

He hadn't even finished talking yet! He hadn't even mentioned which princess it was, but the prince ran out in such a hurry.

The soldiers reacted and hurriedly ran out, following the prince from a distance.

When Xuanyuan Lei saw Wang Jingru, he almost cried. Ever since he sent a letter to Wang Jingru, his heart had been in his throat.

He knew how dangerous the journey was, and he was worried every day because his wife was still in his sister's magic weapon.

If his sister was in danger, it would be like his wife was in danger too. He regretted it right after he sent the letter.

How could he let his sister go to the imperial city alone? He regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. Fortunately, his sister arrived safely.

He ran to Wang Jingru and hugged her tightly in his arms. It was like a lost treasure that was found again. He had watched this girl grow up since she was a child. He had thought about marrying her when he grew up.

Later, he saw that she had chosen his best friend Wu Tianyang. He was also very happy, as long as she was happy, he would be willing to sacrifice his life for her.

Wang Jingru patted Xuanyuan Lei's chest and said, "Brother, are you going to suffocate me to death? I didn't die when I encountered danger on my way. If I was suffocated to death by you, I would be so wronged!"

After Wang Jingru finished speaking, Xuanyuan Lei quickly let go of Wang Jingru and checked her from head to toe to see if she was hurt. Xuanyuan Lei was so nervous that he said, "Brother, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired from the journey."

Xuanyuan Lei hurriedly took Wang Jingru's hand and walked inside the tent arranged for Wang Jingru. Without taking a rest, he just sat down to drink a sip of water and began to ask about the current situation in the military camp.

Upon hearing that the military camp had been out of food for two days, he hurriedly asked Xuanyuan Lei to take him to the granary. Xuanyuan Lei took Wang Jingru's hand and came to the granary.

There was no one in the granary. All the soldiers were starving. Some of them were lying in their tents and refused to come out.

They didn't have the strength to walk. Their legs were so weak that they could only lie down to conserve their energy.

Wang Jingru hurriedly started putting grain into the granary from the first one. He filled all the granaries with grain, and there were about ten granaries in total.

Wang Jingru also placed a lot of fruits, vegetables, and various kinds of meat and eggs on the open space.

After putting away the things, Wang Jingru returned to the tent and pulled Xuanyuan Lei into the space, allowing the couple to reunite. She returned to her room, washed, ate and rested.

Xuanyuan Lei and his wife were reunited, and the house was filled with warmth and happiness. They had experienced the pain of separation and welcomed the joy of reunion.

At the moment of reunion, their eyes met, revealing their longing and love for each other, and they hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's warmth, as if time had never left them.

Fu Ya talked about the baby in her belly, shared the baby's dynamics in her belly, and shared every wonderful moment with her husband. Xuanyuan Lei was also looking forward to the birth of this little life.

When Wang Jingru had enough sleep, it was already afternoon. He took Xuanyuan Lei out of the space again. It was not the time for Fu Ya to come out. Now it was outside. There was chaos and it was very dangerous.

There is also a little life in the belly. If anything goes wrong, there will be two lives, one dead.

Xuanyuan Lei cannot take this risk, and Wang Jingru cannot let such a thing happen.

The two of them left the space, Xuanyuan Lei and Wang Jingru left the tent, led the soldiers, went to the granary to carry food, and then collected the fruits, vegetables, meat and eggs on the open space.

When the soldiers saw so much food and heard that it was brought by Princess Jingru, they all cheered.

They didn't know how the food was delivered here, and they didn't care about that. What they cared about was that they could have a full meal today and not go hungry.

The soldiers moved all the food, vegetables, meat and eggs to various kitchens.

After a while, cheers were heard from all the kitchens in the military camp and the soldiers lying in their tents.

They came out to check what was going on and saw smoke coming out of the fire in the kitchen.

They came to the kitchen with doubts and saw bags of rice, vegetables, meat and eggs on the ground.

They were stunned, but after being stunned they were happy. They didn't ask where this thing came from. They just wanted to cook it and eat it quickly.

All the soldiers were busy, some were chopping wood, some were making fire, some were washing rice, some were washing vegetables, and some were cutting vegetables. They were busy in full swing.

Soon, the aroma of food lingered over the military camp. Everyone was impatient to wait. As soon as the food was cooked, everyone couldn't wait to take their own bowls and chopsticks to eat.

When they found out that the food was brought by Princess Jingru, they were very grateful. When they saw Wang Jingru walking around in the military camp, they would respectfully bow to her and greet her.

Without the food brought by the princess, they would have starved to death. Soon it was dark, Wang Jingru went into the space to sleep, and Xuanyuan Lei followed in to be intimate with his wife.

That night, Prince Gong led people to buy food and did not come back.

Early the next morning, a soldier came running back. He was seriously injured and covered in blood. He fainted as soon as he ran to the gate of the military camp.

Wang Jingru and Xuanyuan Lei have already left the space. Wang Jingru has finished washing up and is eating breakfast.

Xuanyuan Lei was discussing something with the military advisor in the tent. The soldiers came running in in a panic, saying that something was wrong with the prince. A young soldier who went to buy food with Prince Gong came back covered in blood and fainted at the gate of the military camp.

Someone had already taken him to the military doctor for treatment. Xuanyuan Lei was very anxious when he heard this. He hurried out of the tent and came to the military doctor's tent.

After being treated by the military doctor, the soldier woke up. When he saw Xuanyuan Lei, he wanted to sit up.

Xuanyuan Lei hurriedly said, "Lie down quickly and tell me what happened." The soldier said to Xuanyuan Lei in a hoarse voice, "The prince took us to Liushu Village, fifty miles outside the city, to buy grain."

We went through a lot of trouble to buy 10,000 kilograms of grain, which we pulled back on a horse-drawn carriage.

On the way back, the prince was robbed by bandits. He was seriously injured and taken to the mountains by the bandits.

During the fight, I was pinned under corpses and barely managed to escape with my life, but my arm was injured. I saw the bandits had all gone back up the mountain, so I crawled out from the pile of dead bodies and ran back to report the news.

After hearing this, Xuanyuan Lei hurriedly told the man to rest and recuperate. Then he instructed the military advisor beside him to quickly gather a group of soldiers, as he wanted to raze the stronghold to the ground.

Let these bandits know how powerful he is. They dare to rob everything, even the soldiers' food. I will let them know what the consequences will be if they mess with all our soldiers.

This gang of bandits cannot be kept here, they are rotten to the core. Any man with a bit of blood in his veins will respect the soldiers of the country.

You can't rob anyone, but you can't intercept the soldiers' rations. This group of bandits has lost their humanity, and there is no need to keep them.

When she heard that there was going to be a war, and that it was about fighting bandits, Wang Jingru was excited and wanted to go too.

Xuanyuan Lei coaxed her like a child, Jingru, be good, we are going to fight, not to play.

Wang Jingru said, it’s not like I haven’t fought against bandits before, have we fought less at sea?

If you don't let me go, I'll go by myself after you leave. After Wang Jingru said this, Xuanyuan Lei had no choice but to take her with him.

Wang Jingru rode a horse and followed Xuanyuan Lei, who was followed by many soldiers. It took about an hour of riding to reach the mountain where the bandits lived.

Wang Jingru and the others got off their horses, settled the horses, and planned to go up the mountain. Xuanyuan Lei said no, if we go up the mountain directly, we don't know if the bandits have set an ambush. If they do, we will be wiped out.

Xuanyuan Lei said I will lead the charge, go ahead and check the situation, and see where the bandits' lair is. Then I will send out a signal flare, and you guys can come up.

Wang Jingru also wanted to go with Xuanyuan Lei, but he wouldn't let her, fearing danger. Wang Jingru insisted and wanted to go with him. Xuanyuan Lei said, "Your Qinggong is not as good as mine. I have to protect you if you are in danger."

Wang Jingru had no choice but to give up and wait at the foot of the mountain. Xuanyuan Lei walked up the mountain quickly alone. The road on the mountain was very wide, and it was all trampled out by this group of bandits.

It seems that this gang of bandits has lived in this mountain for quite some time. Xuanyuan Lei walked up the mountain along the path he had trampled. He kept paying attention to the sounds around him, fearing that the bandits had ambushed him on the mountain.

When they were almost at the top of the mountain, Xuanyuan Lei changed his route and did not follow the road up the mountain.

The experience Xuanyuan Lei gained from fighting over the years was correct.

There were several bandits in the dark, standing guard there. Xuanyuan Lai avoided the bandits in the dark, and when he was about to pass through, he found the bandits' lair.

There are a lot of people in this bandit's nest, probably thousands of them. Now it's not completely dark yet, Xuanyuan Lei uses his lightness skills to circle around the outside of this bandit's nest.

This group of bandits are really smart. They set traps and arranged soldiers to stand guard in the dark.

They hid it very well. If Xuanyuan Lei hadn't gone up the mountain in advance, they would have suffered a great loss.

After walking around the entire village, it was already dark. Wang Jingru and the others hid in the dark and waited anxiously, fearing that something might happen to Xuanyuan Lei.

They waited until midnight before Xuanyuan Lei fired a signal flare. When they saw the signal flare, they quickly rushed up the mountain. Wang Jingru led them and told them to walk lightly and not make too much noise to avoid being discovered by the bandits.

Xuanyuan Lei did not wait for them at the top of the mountain, but halfway up the mountain. Wang Jingru was the first to notice someone in front of her. Xuanyuan Lei whispered, "It's me, girl."

Wang Jingru then put away her weapon. She was holding a foreign gun. Seeing Xuanyuan Lei, Wang Jingru handed him the gun and bullets.

Wang Jingru took out another gun and some bullets. If it weren't for Heitian, he wouldn't dare to take things from the space so blatantly. When the soldiers behind caught up, they saw the young general waiting for them.

They were confident that the young general would get hurt, so Xuanyuan Lei led them to take a shortcut through the woods. It was very dangerous in the woods at night, and everyone had a big knife in their hands, so they climbed the mountain much more slowly.

After all, it was not as fast as climbing the mountain during the day. When they climbed to the top of the mountain, Wang Jingru and Xuanyuan Lei went in first to deal with the gatekeeper, and then everyone rushed in.

Wang Jingru whispered that while the bandits were sleeping, they should fight quickly and get rid of the bandits on the mountain quickly because there were so many bandits, more than a thousand of them.

When they came out, they only brought thousands of people with them. If the numbers are equal, it is better to take the enemy by surprise and win quickly.

The people standing guard outside were all drugged by Wang Jingru, and the rest were sleeping.

The soldiers were well-trained, and killing people was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables. Moreover, these people were all fast asleep, and soon the strong smell of blood filled the entire mountain stronghold.

At this time, Wang Jingru went to plunder the bandit's nest. She did not touch the food and let the soldiers transport it back later, but she had to keep the money because she loved money like her life.

Wang Jingru looted all the money in the bandit's den, leaving not even a penny.

Xuanyuan Lei knew that Wang Jingru was going to extort money.

He smiled and shook his head without saying anything. He didn't have the time to collect money now. He had to find the dungeon where people were imprisoned, where his father was imprisoned.

Xuanyuan Lei found the place where people were imprisoned in a cave in the back mountain. There were many people in it, and the majority of them were women. I don't know where these beasts got so many women from.

His father was imprisoned in the innermost part, and it was only because Xuanyuan Lei shouted loudly, otherwise he would never have found him.

Xuanyuan Lei shouted loudly, "Father, where are you?" At the same time, the guards following Xuanyuan Lei also shouted loudly, "Prince Gong, where are you?"

Prince Gong heard the shouting and called out, "Is that Lei'er? Come on, father is here." The two followed the voice and found Prince Gong.

When Prince Gong saw them coming, he said angrily, "Why did you come so late? You don't care about me at all. If you came one day later, I, your father, would have lost my life."

Prince Gong came out of the prison and said angrily, "Have you caught the bandit leader?" At this moment, the bandits are kings of the mountains, and they are Xuanyuan He's men.

I have been captured today and reported to Xuanyuan He. I am waiting for his order. According to those who are guarding me, Xuanyuan He has already given the order to kill me.
