The sun was setting in the west, gradually sinking, and the house became dark.

Zheng Wei pretended not to notice anything unusual about them, walked to the desk and twisted a wick, then reached for the oil pot with her other hand, and after shaking it, it turned out to be empty.

She looked back at Tuoba Yu in confusion and shook the bronze oil pot in her hand at him.

Tuoba Yu murmured and turned to look at Xia Houqing.

Xia Houqing said expressionlessly: "It's finished."

Zheng Wei nodded and said, "Send someone to get more. It's really uncomfortable to talk like this."

Xia Houqing didn't move. He glanced at Tuoba Yu for a while and said, "No more."

Tuoba Yu was a little embarrassed, "How did I know that such a big pass is short of lamps and oil? Those slaves who are cooking are spending a lot of money these days."

In addition, he lit the oil lamp all night, but in three days he ran out of oil.

In fact, Tuoba Yu and other Xianbei people like meat very much, but where can they find some minced meat in this military camp? It is good to be full.

In order to make the food less soupy and watery, those slaves naturally added more oil. Unexpectedly, they actually used up all the oil Mu Lingting had for ten days.

In fact, not only oil, but also food was running low. Although the number of people brought was not large, it could not sustain them from eating a lot.

Zheng Wei was speechless. She thought that Tuoba Yu was very resourceful for being able to lead people to defend Muling Pass alone, but if he ate one meal without caring about the next, he looked like he was being foolhardy!

Wasn't the Emperor of Wei afraid of wasting his opportunity and losing his son?

In fact, Tuoba Yu is also very angry. On weekdays, he just charges and fights, and he doesn't care about these trivial matters.

In the past, it was Xia Houqing who took care of these trivial matters for him.

According to Xia Houqing's plan, this matter would not have come to this point.

But Xia Houqing is Han after all, and has actually never been accepted by the Xianbei people. His father's reputation in the Wei Dynasty was hindered before, and Tuoba Yu also trusted him, and no one dared to stumbling upon him openly.

But in the current situation, everyone's minds are actually tense. They are not allowed to eat enough rations. Naturally, some people are dissatisfied. They try to stumbling and provoking him overtly or covertly, and naturally they will not obey his control.

This caused chaos. Xia Houqing tried hard to solve it at first, but later he told Tuoba Yu the truth when he saw that it didn't work.

Zheng Wei coughed slightly, breaking the silence in the room, "Second question, if the vanguard army comes, no matter how long you can resist, will you survive in the end? Or are you ready to die?"

After her words fell, she was still greeted by silence.

Zheng Wei didn't expect them to answer. She just wanted to add fuel to the fire among them and disrupt the enemy's position so that they could take advantage.

"The third question is that the vanguard army has been delayed in coming. Where did they go? Could it be that they have bypassed Muling Pass?"

As soon as the last question came out, Tuobayu couldn't sit still anymore and straightened up immediately.

"Who are you anyway? Why do you know so much?"

His face was no longer calm and calm, and his narrow eyes flashed with a dangerous light.

"I am just a little clerk's girl, but who can say that girls are ignorant?"

After asking the questions, Zheng Wei also knew that there would be no other gains, so he said boringly: "After talking for so long, I think you won't give me some food and water. Can I go back?"

Tuoba Yu also knew that nothing could be accomplished by asking such a painless question. He didn't want to use any methods on the porcelain doll for the time being, so he could only signal Xia Houqing to send her back.

"She is definitely not a clerk's girl."

Xia Houqing came back and said decisively:

"I was mistaken. I think the vanguards don't know these women. She will be whoever we want her to be!"

Tuoba Yu said in a deep voice.

Here, not long after Zheng Wei was brought back, someone actually brought her food and water.

She is stingy enough to have only one share.

Liao Wennan and He Li were a little surprised. She didn't know how to explain this preferential treatment, so she smiled helplessly and put the food in her sleeve pocket.

She thought about whether she would have food in the next few days, and thought about saving it for emergencies.

Then Zheng Wei picked up the bowl of water, drank a few sips, and handed it to Liao Wennan.

Seeing this, Liao Wennan took it and drank a little from the other side of the bowl without any pretense.

The rest is left to He Li.

On the contrary, the seven-foot man was a little embarrassed.

Zheng Wei quietly told Liao Wennan and He Li everything she knew, and now there was no one else to discuss it with.

When she was at home before, Zheng Wei was always the one who was protected. As long as those noble ladies from aristocratic families didn't try to trick her, she didn't even bother to make up her mind.

Maybe God has seen that she has been living too comfortably these past few years, so he has been tormenting her hard these past few days.

Zheng Wei felt that she was really exhausted.

She also told Liao Wennan about the abnormality she discovered.

Zheng Wei felt that not all the defenders at Muling Pass had been killed. When she walked through a door before, she vaguely heard painful groans inside.

Liao Wennan thought for a moment and felt that it was possible: "General Han is definitely not going to delay Qingzhou's battle plan because of these people. I think Tuoba Yu must have more chips."

"But there are too many chips and they don't have enough manpower. It's easy for something to happen." Zheng Wei answered, "The top priority is to find a way to know where those sergeants are and what's going on with them."

Liao Wennan lowered his head and looked at He Li, "I don't think I can be better than him. Without combat power, no matter how many people there are, it will be in vain."

"Otherwise, I'll find a way to find out." Liao Wennan saw Zheng Wei deep in thought and lowered his voice for a while before speaking.

Zheng Wei was surprised.

When Liao Wennan saw this, a bright smile suddenly broke out on his face. Zheng Wei was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at him carefully.

Looking at Liao Wennan's beautiful appearance, she couldn't help but think of a pre-Qin poem she had read before, which said: If it is increased by one point, it will be too long, if it is reduced by one point, it will be too short; if it is powdered, it will be too white; if it is applied with red, it will be too red;

His eyebrows are like green feathers, his muscles are like white snow; his waist is like a bunch of silk, and his teeth are like shells; his charming smile confuses Yangcheng and captivates Cai.

Although Liao Wennan was a little embarrassed at this time, he still looked like the beauty who walked out of the book.

An idea flashed through her mind. Zheng Wei lowered her head and glanced at Liao Wennan's hands. Although they were a little rough and there were light calluses between the fingertips, the fingers were round and slender.

She pretended to hold it casually. She was weak and boneless, not as clear-cut as ordinary men.

In the past, she always thought that Liao Wennan was like those smeared young men in Kyoto.

But when I thought about it carefully today, I discovered many differences. Liao Wennan never put on rouge, let alone incense, but the charm on her body would occasionally be revealed even if she deliberately concealed it.

Maybe she guessed the truth.

Zheng Wei reached out and grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground, rubbed it back and forth with both hands, and then smeared it on Liao Wennan's cheek. After looking at it for a while, she still felt dissatisfied, so she continued to smear it back and forth until it covered the entire face.

Only when he could no longer see her charming little face did he let go with satisfaction.

Liao Wennan was startled by her action, but he understood what she meant in an instant, and his heart warmed slightly, and he smiled at her again. Zheng Wei felt that his eyes were full of beauty, and his waves were clear.

With a serious look on her face, she lowered her voice and warned: "We will consider this matter in the long run. You are not allowed to laugh at others again."

After two days of this, only on the first day they were given a pot of black and yellow soup, and each person only got a little bit.

The next day there was only clear water.

In the past two days, commotions could often be heard outside, and Zheng Wei felt that Tuoba Yu and the others had not eaten.

Maybe the time they've been waiting for is coming!
