Facing Li Xing who was standing nearby, Li Long said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"When my mother begged you to let her go, did you ever think of letting her go?"

"She has lived most of her life without any desires or requests, just content with living in a corner, just because she saw you..."

"Shut up! Shut up!" Li Xing suddenly jumped up, snatched the sword from the guard's hand and put it on Li Long's neck, "I told you to shut up, did you hear me? Otherwise I will kill you immediately!!"

Li Long snorted and laughed, "Come on, kill me! I am alone now, and I have nothing to lose. I will die if I want to.

I wonder if you are willing to let your beloved and your own flesh and blood accompany me on this journey?"

Li Xing: “…”

If looks could kill, Li Long would have been cut into pieces by Li Xing.

"Get lost!" Li Xing shouted angrily in the direction of Gu Jingyan and his group, "Get lost immediately before I regret it!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Jingyan took a step forward, broke through the obstruction of the Beimeng guards, took Li Changle in his arms, and quickly retreated.

"Are you hurt anywhere?" Gu Jingyan pursed his lips and started checking her hair.

Li Changle pulled his hand down and shook his head, "It's okay, I'm not hurt."

The swelling on my head has gradually subsided over the past few days.

She looked at Li Long, tugged at Gu Jingyan's sleeve, and asked anxiously, "Can we take Thirteen away as well? Will the Northern Meng Crown Prince really kill him?"

"Don't worry." Gu Jingyan confirmed that she was fine, then he felt relieved and pulled her behind him to protect her. He turned his gaze to the Li Long brothers and said to her softly, "Prince Kang will not be in danger of his life for the time being."

The guards brought by Li Long were confronting Li Xing's guards. He shouted at Gu Jingyan, "Take her away! The mountains and rivers remain unchanged. As long as I am alive, Xiao Lele, we will see each other again!"

"Go! Leave Beimeng!"

Li Changle was still frightened by this kind of scene. Everyone was holding swords and fighting to the death. It was so bloody!

Gu Jingyan pulled her, Lin Hai and the others to quickly retreat, leaving behind a cold sentence in the dark night, "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Kang, for your help! See you later!"

-

Not daring to waste even a moment saying a word, the group rode on horseback all night long. When it was gray and dawn was about to break, they finally left the northern Mongolian territory and arrived at the border of Dayan.

Gu Jingyan got off the horse and carried Li Changle off the horse's back. "We have been traveling all night, let's take a rest first."

Li Changle almost collapsed to the ground as soon as he got off the horse. He had been running for several hours straight, and both sides of his thighs felt like they were on fire, burning with pain, and probably rubbed red.

Gu Jingyan placed her on a slightly flat stone surface, and took out a cloak from his bag to pad her butt.

Lin Hai and his guards walked away, driving the horses to graze elsewhere.

Li Changle took the thermos cup lid handed to him by Gu Jingyan and took a few sips of hot tea.

"Did it scare you?"

For several hours, this person remained silent, which made her feel guilty for no reason.

Obviously, the person who was kidnapped was me.

Gu Jingyan lowered his head and looked at her, "Yes."

At this moment, his face was calm, but his heart was still beating fast.

Fortunately, she was right in front of me, within reach.

Li Changle subconsciously tightened his sleeves, thinking back on the journey, and began to complain angrily:

"I was scared to death! In broad daylight, they knocked me unconscious and kidnapped me. This act of robbery is quite shocking in the Chinese security community."

"They covered my eyes the whole way."

"My hands are tied when I sleep."

Looking at the man, she squeezed out two tears, "Yu'er Shixi must be crying to death if he can't find me."

With every word she said, Gu Jingyan's face darkened. Finally, he couldn't help but take her into his arms and sighed deeply, "Don't go back to Li County. I will arrange for Leng Yi and Leng Er to send the two children to Beiding. You both stay with me."

Otherwise, he would be thinking about it all the time, which would be really uncomfortable.

Li Changle didn't expect that he got stuck when he mentioned this.

She just wanted to play the victim and gain some sympathy, and she had no intention of leaving Li County immediately.

"No... no, are you all coming to Beiding? My farm hasn't opened yet! It's not easy to interrupt Shixi's studies!"

She gestured with her fingers, "I'm just a little short of merit! I have to accumulate enough."

Gu Jingyan stared at his wife in front of him, still unable to tell whether the merits she was talking about were true or false.

"how much longer?"

Li Changle couldn't lie when looking at this handsome face, so he forced himself to look away and replied, "Before winter, when the next wheat harvest in Li County is ready. Then I'll bring Yu'er and Shixi to see you. Let's spend the New Year together in Beiding this year, okay?"

"really?"

"More real than pearls!" he swore to heaven.

Gu Jingyan pinched her soft earlobe and compromised, "Okay."

Li Changle smiled so hard that his eyes curved.

After Li Changle dozed off in Gu Jingyan's arms for an hour or so, she got on the ox cart that Lin Hai had found from somewhere. The ox cart had a carriage and the seats inside were thickly cushioned.

Lin Hai, worthy of being the top official inside and outside the country, has thought very carefully.

Several people are going to enter the border city to rest.

Bac Ninh City borders the Northern Mongolian grasslands and is an important border town. When war breaks out, this city is likely to be the first to be baptized by flames.

The more than ten-meter-high wall of Bac Ninh City is very thick and solid, and the watchtowers on the wall are guarded by soldiers twelve hours a day.

Li Changle lifted the curtain and asked Gu Jingyan, who was riding a horse outside, about something.

There were large tracts of wasteland outside the city, overgrown with weeds, and it was hard to find even a single person anywhere in sight.

Li Changle: "The sweet potatoes in Li County have been harvested. Li Huaitong should have sent people to various villages to negotiate and buy a lot of sweet potatoes. Later, he should gradually expand the scope of seedling cultivation in several neighboring counties.

I saved the one from Xiao Zhouzhuang for you. I’ve been busy lately and forgot to ask you how to arrange it.”

She pointed to the uncultivated wasteland and said, "Xiaozhouzhuang harvested hundreds of thousands of kilograms of sweet potatoes. If they can be transported to the border town and planted quickly, the people here will be able to eat them this winter."

"Or... Gu Jingyan, there should be dry land in the north, right?" Her eyes sparkled and she stuck her head out of the window, "Wheat! Let them grow wheat! Wheat is cold-resistant and drought-resistant!"

Gu Jingyan listened to her quietly without interrupting.

I came back to my senses when my sleeves were pulled up again.

He explained to Li Changle the current situation of the people living in the border areas. "The people in the city have farmland, and 80% of it is dry land. The soil here is worse than the dry land in Lvshui Village, Li County. The food we harvest is not enough to make a living."

"Farmers rely on the weather for their livelihood. God will give them some rain, but the harvest also depends on God's will."

"We can't even cultivate the land we own, so no one would waste energy to cultivate the unowned wasteland outside the city. In the past, the enemy camp in the north of Mongolia often carried out surprise attacks, and even the horse market outside the city was stopped."

"Someone will be responsible for transporting the sweet potatoes from Xiaozhuang Zhou directly to several counties in the north that have been hit hard by the disaster. They will be planted locally. The counties have all been affected to some extent by the war, so they can't wait to slowly expand their planting."

Li Changle listened carefully, "Are all the counties in Beiding Prefecture?"

"Yes, Bac Ninh City is an important border town with garrison troops stationed here. They are all under the control of Bac Dinh Prefecture."

“Ah…I see.”

After hearing this, Li Changle obediently lowered the curtain and sat in the carriage thinking for a long time.

Her new map mission has been opened.

Although she cannot stay in the North for long, can she sow the seeds of the mission here first, reap the harvest two months later, and collect contribution points directly from the system?

The system popped up at the right time: "Host, theoretically it is possible. We are using the system's seeds, and the service group is within the scope of the mission."

Li Changle: "Hey, if you say so, I won't be polite."

The people in the north have just rebuilt their homes, and most of their food for this winter has not yet been sourced. For these people who have suffered from natural disasters and man-made calamities, isn't this the Great Mother System in her that they need most?
