When they heard that Ying Changqing was going to take away these provisions, they were shocked.
Meng Yuruo's heart skipped a beat.
She understood that Meng Tian's army was in dire need of food.
If he lost these rations, although it would not hurt his bones, it would definitely give him a headache for a few days.
Meng Yuruo probed.
"This…Young Master, are you going to Fuping County?”
Fuping is the administrative office of Beidi County.
Meng Tian's army was there.
This young master of the imperial clan had brought so many soldiers and horses here, so there was a high chance that he was going to meet up with Meng Tian.
However, she was wrong.
Ying Changqing lightly shook his head and said,
"If it's not Fuping, I have my own plans.”
"Then where are you going?"
"If we continue north, we will pass the boundary of the Nine Peaks Mountain. That is the territory of the Xiongnu!”
Ying Changqing didn't say anything. Instead, he glanced at her blandly. A dim light flashed across his eyes.
Meng Yuruo felt a chill in her heart.
Then, she mustered up her courage and went forward, looking at him with hope in her eyes.
"Then…can you take me with you?”
She had sneaked out this time. She could imagine with her toes that Meng Tian would definitely be furious.
Moreover, they had encountered the Xiongnu on the way.
Meng Yuruo could not help but shiver at the thought of seeing Meng Tian again.
"No!"
"I can't let father see me like this. At least wait until the wind blows over.”
Meng Yuruo thought to herself.
Ying Changqing raised his eyebrows, glanced at her, then shook his head and said,"Go back to the Qin camp. I don't need you.”
"Is it because you don't need it, or does Young Master look down on women?”
"Are you questioning me?"
Ying Changqing narrowed his eyes.
This woman was quite bold. She actually dared to talk to him like this.
"Young Master, since you have such elite soldiers under your command, you must not be a mediocre person," Meng Yuruo said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.”
"Yuruo originally thought that Young Master's taste would be different from ordinary people, but it seems that I was wrong.”
After saying that, she turned around and pretended to leave.
He looked at her back as she turned around.
Ying Changqing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. It took him quite a while to recover from his shock, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
Such a clumsy method of goading her was really something she could use.
Ying Changqing rubbed his forehead and said,"Stop right there."
Meng Yuruo stopped her body. The corner of her mouth quietly curled into an arc. She immediately turned around and asked coldly,"Young Master, is there anything you need?"
"I can promise you, but I have to say this first. I will not give special treatment to anyone, regardless of gender.”
Ying Changqing didn't think highly of Meng Yuruo.
However, he remembered that the other party had grown up in the frontier fortress since he was young, so he definitely knew more about the environment here than he did.
Moreover, he also remembered a saying in his later life. If a man and a woman worked together, they would not be tired.
A vase on the road seemed to be a good thing.
Meng Yuruo turned around and said seriously,""Yuruo grew up in the military. If a man can do it, I can do it too!”
"I don't need any special treatment, but I hope that Young Master can treat me equally.”
"Very good."
Ying Changqing was very satisfied with Meng Yuruo's attitude. He nodded and said,""Find a horse to ride on!"
"But remember, my principles are very simple. If you cause any trouble for me, you can scram back to the Qin camp!”
Meng Yuruo pursed her lips and turned around to look for a horse without saying a word.

The sun was setting in the west.
The sun slowly descended.
Not far away from Nine Peaks Mountain, a bustling noise suddenly sounded.
A troop of over a thousand cavalrymen was rushing towards the Nine Peaks Mountain.
They were Meng Tian and the cavalry of the Forward Strike Battalion.
At this moment, an officer carefully reminded him,""General Meng, Nine Peaks Mountain is five miles ahead. Should we send a team of scouts to scout the way?”
Meng Tian frowned and pondered.
The terrain of Nine Peaks Mountain was complicated. If a Xiongnu group could appear to rob the grain, there might be a second group, a third…
Although he was burning with anxiety, he still had his rationality.
He knew that the more critical the moment, the more he had to be steady and not be impulsive.
"That's right. Quickly go and investigate!”
Immediately, a dozen or so fast horses broke away from the main group and galloped forward.
Meng Tian's army slowed down and followed behind.
Not long after.
"Report!"
"There's a situation ahead!"
Suddenly,
The scout who had gone to scout the way ran over with sweat all over his face.
Meng Tian's heart skipped a beat.
"General Meng, there's a situation! A large number of corpses were found at the foot of the Nine Peaks Mountain!”
In an instant.
Like a bolt of lightning, it struck Meng Tian's head.
It was over!
He was a step too late.
"Quickly check if there are any surviving Great Qin soldiers!”
Meng Tian clenched her fists, her eyes red.
"I hurried, but I was still a step too late!”
"How hateful!"
However, the scout continued," However, I found that all the corpses belonged to the Xiongnu. I only saw a small number of Qin soldiers.”
"How many bodies of the Xiongnu people are there?"
"No less than a thousand!"
"What?"
Meng Tian was stunned.
According to the information he had, there were only a thousand Xiongnu people who came to intercept the grain.
When he came here, he had imagined countless possibilities, but he had never thought of this.
Then, he roused his spirits and shouted,"All troops, listen up! Advance at full speed!"
Fifteen minutes later.
Meng Tian led the vanguard unit to the foot of Nine Peaks Mountain.
Looking at the densely packed Xiongnu corpses in front of him, his expression stiffened, but he could not say a word.
"General Meng, we've found our corpses!”
Qin Jun reported loudly.
Meng Tian hurriedly urged her horse forward.
Not long after,
Hundreds of Qin corpses were mixed with the Xiongnu corpses.
It could be seen that this place had definitely experienced a tragic battle.
Meng Tian couldn't care about anything else. She only wanted to know if Meng Yuruo was dead or alive.
He immediately dismounted from his horse and started searching the corpses on the ground.
"Yuruo, Yuruo?" he shouted as he searched.!”
Qin Jun, who was beside him, did not dare to be negligent. He quickly rolled up his sleeves and rummaged through the corpses.
After an unknown amount of time.
Qin Jun said with an ugly expression.
"General Meng, we've searched everywhere, but we haven't found any trace of Miss.”
"Continue searching!"
"Yuruo is in the grain transport team. Find her!”
"I want to see him alive, and I want to see his corpse if he's dead!"
Meng Tian ordered with a livid face.
However, another hour passed.
All the corpses of the Qin army were moved out.
However, he did not find Meng Yuruo.
