Chapter 127 Just stay in jail with peace of mind!
Yan Wanwan walked lightly into the prison.
As soon as you enter, it feels like you are wrapped in thick ink. It is pitch black all around and you can't see the end at a glance.
Heavy and turbid breathing sounds came one after another from both sides. Without looking, one could tell that all the prisoners detained here were male.
This group of people, who had been imprisoned for a long time and were unruly, suddenly became agitated as hungry wolves saw fresh meat when they saw someone coming in. They rushed towards the prison door frantically, roaring, "Let me out! Let me out quickly!"
The shouts caused the dust in the cell to fall, as if they were going to break the cage that imprisoned them.
Yan Wanwan acted as if she didn't hear anything. She had a cold expression and walked calmly as she walked straight through the shouting.
Suddenly, a hand covered in dirt, with black mud hidden between its nails, stretched out from the gap in the fence next to it like a sudden flash of lightning. Along with a disgusting stench, a vulgar voice rang out: "Hey, woman, are you here to accompany me?"
As soon as these words fell, a cold light flashed in Yan Wanwan's beautiful eyes, just like frost and snow suddenly falling.
In an instant, an invisible sword energy shot out with a "whoosh" like a poisonous snake hidden in the dark night, carrying a ruthless and resolute aura.
Then, the wretched man's scream, like a pig being slaughtered, broke the dead silence of the cell and echoed in the darkness.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the man kneeling on the ground, banging his forehead hard on the ground, over and over again, making shallow pits on the ground. He kept begging for mercy: "Auntie, I know I'm wrong! Spare my life!"
Yan Wanwan frowned slightly and snorted coldly, ignoring the plea for mercy. She looked straight ahead, walked forward steadily with her lotus steps.
After this incident, the cell seemed to be covered by a layer of frost. Those who had originally had evil intentions and wanted to say frivolous things were now silent, not daring to utter a single dirty word. They could only watch Yan Wanwan's back as she walked away.
Yan Wanwan walked towards the deepest part of the prison with familiarity, without any hesitation. Soon, the completely sealed iron door came into view.
The iron door was thick, with only a narrow air vent that let in a faint light, allowing one to glimpse what was going on inside.
She reached out and grasped the handle of the iron door. With a little force, the iron door slowly opened with a series of extremely sharp "swish" sounds, which echoed in the empty and gloomy prison corridor, raising a cloud of dust.
In an instant, a beam of light suddenly shone into the dim cell, and Qin Yu was seen sitting quietly on the ground with a calm and composed expression, as if this imprisonment was just an ordinary practice for him.
Seeing him like this, Yan Wanwan sneered sarcastically and said slowly, "General Qin, you seem to be living a carefree life here, but do you know what a mess it is outside because of you?"
Qin Yu was originally immersed in his own thoughts. When he heard this familiar yet unexpected voice, his whole body suddenly stiffened, as if he was hit by an electric current.
He hurriedly opened his eyes, his eyes full of astonishment and confusion, and asked anxiously: "You...why are you here?"
Yan Wanwan crossed her arms, raised an eyebrow, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Of course I'm here to get you out. What's the matter? Do you really want to stay in this dark prison forever?"
Qin Yu's expression instantly became complicated, and a struggle flashed through his mind. But in a moment, he gritted his teeth and flatly refused, "I can't go out now."
Seeing this, Yan Wanwan nodded slightly, as if she had already expected this response. She said calmly, "I can see that since you are determined to stay here, I won't force you. Let me tell you, most of the issues in the Western Regions have been settled, and your troops have food supplies. There is no need to worry, just stay here."
After she finished speaking, she turned slightly sideways, looked through the air vent, and looked at Qin Yu quietly, as if she was waiting for him to change his mind, or as if she simply wanted to look at him a few more times.
As expected, her words hit Qin Yu like a hammer, instantly throwing him off balance and making him speak incoherently with excitement: "Food? Where did you get it from? Where did all this food supply come from?"
You know, the reason he was so obediently trapped in this prison was because the soldiers at the border had been cut off from their food supplies. The enemy was advancing fiercely, and he simply couldn't mobilize enough food at once. In desperation, he could only risk his life and feign capture, just to secretly buy enough time for the transport team to resolve this urgent crisis.
According to the previously estimated journey time, the transport team would need at least five days to reach the border. Could it be that they arrived early?
Yan Wanwan had a mysterious smile on her lips, but she didn't answer. She just said leisurely, "Don't worry about this matter. I see that you are eating well and sleeping well here. You are living a very comfortable life. I won't disturb you from resting here, General Qin. I will go first."
After saying this, she really didn't hesitate at all. She turned around neatly and walked away without caring about the old friendship.
"Don't go yet!" Qin Yu shouted hurriedly when he saw this.
In an instant, a crack suddenly appeared on the tightly closed iron door, and then the crack quickly spread, like ice breaking in spring. With a loud bang, the iron door shattered to the ground.
Qin Yu stood tall and straight, with a calm expression. He walked out of the prison slowly and steadily.
"Let's go!"
Yan Wanwan chuckled softly twice, a hint of sarcasm curling up at the corner of her mouth. She thought to herself: This guy is really just pretending as always. In the end, she said nothing more and walked out of the prison with Qin Yu one after the other.
The jailer at the gate was shocked when he saw Qin Yu behind her. Just as he was about to open his mouth to shout, a black shadow flashed out from the darkness, raised his hand and slashed with a knife. The jailer collapsed to the ground in an instant and fell silent.
Ling Ying stepped forward and kicked the unconscious jailer. He then quickly walked over to Qin Yu, knelt on one knee, and said with a guilty look, "General, I am incompetent and failed to allocate food immediately. I deserve death."
Qin Yu glanced at Yan Wanwan meaningfully with deep eyes, and said slowly, "It's okay, Madam has already made preparations."
Upon hearing this, Ling Ying looked up at Yan Wanwan, then quickly lowered his head, agreeing with the statement.
His attitude made Qin Yu feel suspicious. He frowned slightly and thought to himself: Is there some hidden secret behind his appearance?
Yan Wanwan didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Let's go. I'll take you there to have a look. Otherwise, you might not be able to rest easy."
Qin Yu pursed his lips, a barely perceptible embarrassment flashing across his face.
Soon, they arrived at the temporary grain shop opened by Yan Wanwan.
At this moment, the grain shop was crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, and the noise was endless. There was a long winding queue outside the door, and the people were looking forward to it, waiting to buy grain.
"You sold the grain?" Qin Yu frowned instantly when he saw this scene, and there was a hint of questioning in his voice.
"Well, let's change some necessities." Yan Wanwan responded calmly and slowly.
"Nonsense!" Qin Yu lost control of his emotions upon hearing this, and raised his voice a few notches. "Food is the most important thing at the border. If the soldiers don't have enough to eat, how can they defend the border and resist the enemy? How can they have the energy to make other demands?"
His eyes were full of regret. Looking at the bags of food being moved out, his heart seemed to be tightened by an invisible hand. He really couldn't bear to see such precious supplies being sold at such a low price.
