The unique aroma of rice fried in the iron pan floated in the yard. Smelling that special rice aroma, the mood of the survivors in the yard calmed down a little. From today to now, most people have not eaten anything except finding the remaining dry food in the dart team to fill their stomachs. Everyone is in panic and confusion, but the burning bonfire and the lingering rice aroma made everyone's minds emerge some warm pictures of the past, and a little hope slowly ignited in their hearts.
Next to another fire, Yan Liqiang spoke out all his thoughts and plans without reservation.
After listening to Yan Liqiang's words, Wang Hui, Huang Sheng and Gong Dequan looked at each other. Although none of them spoke, the exchange in their eyes allowed them to immediately understand each other's intentions.
Apart from what Yan Liqiang said, the three of them could not think of a more comprehensive solution.
Wang Hui slapped his thigh fiercely, "Okay, let's do it!"
"Then I wonder who Brother Li Qiang is going to go to the capital with to investigate the situation?" Huang Sheng asked.
"I think it's just me and Brother Wang who can go. If there are too many people, it will be inconvenient for us to move around. If there are two of us, we can take care of each other and it will be convenient to go back and forth!" Yan Liqiang looked at Huang Sheng and Gong Dequan and said straightforwardly, "And after we leave, we have to leave someone here to watch over it and clear out the goods. We only have one day here. After we are ready, we must leave Jinling City after dark tomorrow!"
“Okay, without further ado, my brother Li Qiang and I will set out tonight. The Rhino Horse has night vision, so we can travel at night without any problems. This place is not too far from the Imperial Capital, so we will definitely be back before tomorrow evening. The horses of the escort team are still there, I will go down and have them prepare them, and we will leave immediately…” Wang Hui was also a man of decisive character, and he wanted to stand up as he spoke.
"If Brother Wang Hui and I can't make it back before dusk tomorrow due to an accident, you don't have to wait for us. Everything will proceed as planned. After you have dealt with the goods in the escort team, you will continue on the road. We will chase you. If we can't catch up on the way, we will meet up in Fengzhou City!"
"Okay!" Huang Sheng and Gong De both nodded.
Several people stood up from beside the fire, and without saying anything else, they started to get busy.
Yan Liqiang first found Gu Zexuan and Zhao Huipeng, and told them his plan. After hearing what Yan Liqiang said, both Gu Zexuan and Zhao Huipeng became excited. Gu Zexuan immediately shouted, "Boss, we can also accompany you..." Although Zhao Huipeng did not speak, his eyes were determined.
"We're going to Dijing this time just to check out the situation in Dijing and gather information. It would be inconvenient if there are too many people!" Yan Liqiang said, lowering his voice a little, and patted two people on the shoulders. "The three of us are all from Tianqiao Peak. If we all go, how many people from the escort agency will have to go? If the people from the escort agency don't go at this time, they will think that we want to take all the credit. Who knows what will happen later. Now we should unite to get through this hurdle. So, there is no need to argue at this time. Wang Hui and I will go, and you stay here and act with the people from the escort agency..."
Gu Zexuan is a smart man. As soon as Yan Liqiang said that, he understood Yan Liqiang's considerations and admired Yan Liqiang even more. Even at this time, Yan Liqiang's consideration of these details was still flawless, which is also a skill.
Zhao Huipeng clenched his fists tightly, "If I can advance to the level of Dragon Tiger Warrior or a higher level, I can help you at this time..."
Yan Liqiang smiled at Zhao Huipeng and patted him twice on the shoulder. "Huipeng, your performance today really impressed me. I didn't expect you to be so fierce and tough today. I believe that Dragon Tiger Warrior is not the end for you, Huipeng. The future achievements of the three of us brothers will be more than just Dragon Tiger Warrior. We three brothers still have a long way to go together, and it's not just this..."
Yan Liqiang's words made Gu Zexuan and Zhao Huipeng feel warm in their hearts. They were no longer depressed and nodded heavily.
"By the way, where's Yu Qing?"
Yu Qing is the woman that Yan Liqiang and his men rescued in Jinling City today.
"Is that woman doing needlework over there?" Gu Zexuan replied.
"Sewing?" Yan Liqiang asked curiously.
"Well, Boss, you'll know if you go and take a look. That woman's needlework skills are pretty good..."
…
The girl was indeed doing some needlework, not far from the fire, with her head lowered, quietly and attentively working on a piece of blue-dyed cotton cloth.
The cloth was found by Yan Liqiang and his men from a collapsed warehouse in the yard. Originally, the cloth was brought here by a traveling merchant to sell, but the merchant had not appeared since last night. When the people from the escort agency were cleaning up the ruins of the yard, they took out several bundles of cloth from under the ruins, and now they came in handy.
The girl cut the cloth into pieces of certain length, rolled them up, folded them in half, and sewed them together, leaving an opening that could be pulled open with a thin rope. In the girl's hands, the pieces of cloth became slings that could be tied around the waist, that is, long, thin pockets.
After the rice fried in the big iron pot cooled down, she put it into the saddle bags she made and distributed them to the people in the escort agency one by one, as food for everyone to carry with them for the next few days.
Seeing the focused look on the girl named Yu Qing's face, Yan Liqiang felt relieved. He knew that this girl would be able to leave with the escort team and they would not abandon her.
A girl like this who can swallow her tears after suffering a great disaster and still quietly do needlework for others in an unfamiliar environment can definitely keep going!
…
Yan Liqiang didn't need to prepare much. Just a hooded cloak for bodyguards to keep warm, a bow, two pots of arrows, a sword, some dry food and water, and that was about all he needed.
After Wang Hui prepared all his equipment, he led out the two best and strongest rhinoceros horses in the escort team.
Under the gaze of everyone in the escort team, two people rode directly on the rhino horses, shook the reins, and the two rhino horses took four steps and disappeared into the night...
The girl who was sewing raised her eyes from the firelight and watched Yan Liqiang disappear into the night with a longbow on his back. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and in a trance, the needle in her hand slipped, and a drop of blood appeared on the girl's finger...
…
