Chapter 1338

"For the time being, we are safe; they have no intention of taking action."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible to get the grain so smoothly, and it would be impossible to help deliver it back."

"Everyone doesn't need to worry; as long as the road isn't cleared, we are still safe."

"Once this road is cleared, that's another matter."

Fan Zeng had no choice; having reached this point, they could only take one step at a time.

Now that they didn't have the hostage in hand, they would be much more dangerous.

But they were still safe for now; once the road was cleared, they didn't know what the situation would be.

Perhaps once the road was cleared, it would be the time for them to take action against them.

Fan Zeng carefully analyzed these things for Ren Xiao.

Ren Xiao nodded repeatedly; they could only think of a way to escape once the road was cleared.

Otherwise, they certainly wouldn't be the Imperial Army's match.

Things having reached this point, thinking about anything was useless.

They could only take one step at a time.

"Everyone disperse."

"During this period, pay more attention to the movements behind us."

"Don't let them come to our door without us knowing."

"Also, appease the soldiers more."

"Tell them they will reach the destination soon."

Ren Xiao waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

The generals also saluted and left; knowing there was no danger for now, they felt a bit more at ease.

Although they might have trouble once the road was cleared, who knew when the road would be cleared?

It might be that before they cleared the road, they would be out of grain again.

By that time, they wouldn't know where to find grain again.

These things were still somewhat far away; thinking so much was useless.

It was better to think about how to appease the soldiers' emotions.

Not to mention the soldiers, even they were somewhat anxious.

They had never thought that things would reach this point.

Ren Xiao showed some concern for Zhou Qi and let him go wash up and rest.

The credit would be recorded for now; they would make plans after leaving here.

Zhou Qi also saluted excitedly and left.

After the generals dispersed.

Ren Xiao and the others had another discussion.

It didn't end until it was time to eat.

Two hours later.

Ren Xiao and the others started to depart.

The soldiers were all fed, so of course, they had the strength to clear the path.

The departure of Ren Xiao and the others was all seen by the scouts of the Imperial Army behind them.

The Imperial Army had been closely monitoring every move of Ren Xiao and the others.

News of their departure would be reported up immediately.

In the temporary rest area.

Shangqing Meng Yi and the others appeared here.

After taking out so much grain, the hostage was finally exchanged back.

Grain or no grain didn't matter; the main thing was that the person could return safely.

The current Great Qin Empire was not lacking in grain and fodder.

It was just somewhat troublesome to transport it here.

As for giving Ren Xiao and the others so much grain, it was just to make them clear the path.

Otherwise, why would they give them so much grain at once?

Everyone looked at Shangqing Meng Yi with concern.

This was the person they had gone through all kinds of hardships to save.

He couldn't be allowed to be abused by the other side.

Seeing that Shangqing Meng Yi was fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Everyone, I'm sorry; I've held everyone back."

"To save me, everyone even gave so much grain to the other side."

"Shangqing Meng Yi expresses his deep gratitude here!"

Shangqing Meng Yi saluted everyone.

Han Xin hurriedly supported Shangqing Meng Yi; he couldn't accept such etiquette.

"Senior Minister, you are too polite; this is the Grand General's intention."

"At the same time, this is also the Crown Prince's intention."

"Otherwise, how would we dare to squander so much grain."

"Besides, all of this is to reach the Peacock Dynasty as quickly as possible."

"Senior Minister, don't blame yourself; Great Qin will not abandon its own people."

"Saving you was only a matter of time; we certainly wouldn't abandon you."

Han Xin explained.

He also asked about some of Shangqing Meng Yi and the others' recent situations.

He didn't know how he had been doing with the rebels.

But fortunately, the telescope could occasionally see the figures of Shangqing Meng Yi and the others.

Shangqing Meng Yi and the others also talked about some things that had happened recently.

Both sides exchanged some intelligence.

They understood some things that had happened recently.

Han Xin and the others weren't surprised.

Because they had been following Ren Xiao and the others all along.

But Shangqing Meng Yi and the others were incredibly surprised.

Someone had briefly told Shangqing Meng Yi about the various things that had happened in Great Qin recently.

From Shangqing Meng Yi being captured, to the arrival of the others, they had also told him some things.

And then they told him about the Crown Prince and Grand General Meng Tian rushing back to the northern border.

After listening, Shangqing Meng Yi was speechless for a long time.

These people had gone to great pains to save him.

He didn't expect the Crown Prince and the others to have already returned.

He didn't know about this.

Even his elder brother had returned to the northern border.

It was estimated that the situation there was not optimistic.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have rushed back in such a hurry.

And there was also letting the people in front clear the path, all the way to the Peacock Dynasty.

These various things were much more detailed than what had been said before.

The return of Shangqing Meng Yi and the others made Li Xin and the others feel at ease.

Everyone started chatting, and there were some questions about details.

Until—

A soldier came to report that the rebels in front had started to move.

Han Xin and the others ended the conversation.

Everyone also started to move and follow behind the rebels. ===== CHAPTER 1340 =====
