Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Is this guy a human?

Lu You stared at Lu Yi with wide eyes, feeling confused.

Even after listening to all the analysis, she still couldn't believe how Lu Yi put so many things together.

"Lu Yi! Follow me from now on!"

On the side, Wen Chengjie, whose secrets were exposed, had excitement in his eyes.

"With a brain like yours, follow me and become a lieutenant general."

"Three years... no, two years!"

"Just give me two years, and I can definitely train you into a qualified garrison commander. In time, you can even become a commander!"

"How about it? Think about it?"

Hearing this, Lu You looked at Wen Chengjie with a toothache.

"Wen Chengjie, are you a human being? You poached people in front of me, and the person you poached was my brother. Did you have water in your brain when you took a shower this morning?"

"Besides, you just planned to trick me, and now you're saying this bullshit, do you think it's possible?"

Wen Chengjie waved his hand when he heard this.

"Ah! That's all in the past."

"I want you to help defend the city because I only see that you are a warrior."

"But it's different now. Lu Yi has such a brain. Even if it's just to make him follow me, I will do my best to protect you."

Looking at Wen Chengjie's self-righteous look, Lu Yo felt as if someone was pinching his throat and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

In his two lifetimes, Lu You experienced a lot of things and met all kinds of people.

But the Wen Chengjie in front of her was definitely the most bizarre person she had ever seen in her two lifetimes combined.

What he said a minute ago, he can say is a thing of the past!

She's willing to risk her life for him one second, and the next second she's willing to protect herself for Lu Yi.

This was the first time that Lu You saw the word "capricious" and it was so concrete.

"Lu Yi, I'm serious, as long as you serve as a soldier for me."

"I can meet all your requirements, how about that?"

Wen Chengjie asked Lu Yi again, his tone full of expectation.

"You are just a captain, and you dare to give me the garrison position?" Lu Yi looked at Wen Chengjie coldly: "Do you think I will believe you?"

Wen Chengjie smiled and shook his head: "Lu Yi, I am a Qianzong because I want to be a Qianzong, not because I have no choice but to be a Qianzong."

As he spoke, Wen Chengjie waved gently to the soldiers around him.

A few people understood and turned around to disperse the people around the west gate and ordered them to return home.

Wen Chengjie spoke again when Lu You and the other two were the only ones left around.

"I did plot against you, but I only did it to defend the city."

"Can you just defend the city and ignore my life or death?" Lu You said contemptuously.

"Sure!" Wen Chengjie answered without hesitation: "In order to defend the city, I can not only take your death into account, but also my own life and death."

Lu You and Wen Chengjie looked at each other again, but each other's eyes were still extremely clear, and it didn't seem like they were lying.

"Can you really sacrifice yourself to protect this city?" Lu You asked again.

"can!"

Wen Chengbo answered with a smile again.

"In my opinion, the greatest goal of war is victory."

"And what I can control is the less than 4,000 defenders in this city."

"My victory is to close the city gates and wait for the arrival of the Yanzhou army."

"For this goal, I can sacrifice anyone, including myself."

Having said this, Wen Chengjie turned and looked at Lu Yi.

"Didn't you say I was just a captain?"

"There's no one else here. I can tell you that my father has long wanted to hand over the entire Qingzhou City garrison to me."

"But I don't want to take it, because once I take it, I can only command from behind and won't be able to fight in the battlefield."

As he spoke, Wen Chengjie reached out and handed the token to Lu You.

"It's a pity that although Lu Yi is smart, he has never learned how to march and fight. If you really have the talent to be a general, I would even be willing to give you the command of the troops in the city."

"What I'm saying to you now is from the heart."

"The city is 130 miles away from Qingning County, and about 300 miles away from Pingchang County."

"Even if the Jin army takes two cities in a row, it will take at least three days to get here, including the time it takes to recover."

"The token in your hand can open the city gate once before the Jin soldiers arrive."

"You have one night to decide whether to use this token to leave the city or to open the door to pick someone up."

"Also, Lu Yi, I really hope to have you under my wing."

"This war with the Kingdom of Jin will definitely not be over in a short period of time. Even in the next few years, the entire southwest of Wu Kingdom will be plunged into endless war."

"Your mind is very suitable for making achievements at this time."

After saying this, Wen Chengbo nodded slightly at the two of them, then turned around and left without any hesitation.

Lu You held the black token and turned to look at Lu Yi.

"what do you think?"

"Don't even think about it." Lu Yi said calmly, "Wen Chengjie is a fickle person. There is no way I will follow him."

"I know." Lu You sighed and said, "I mean how to use this token."

After hearing Wen Chengjie's words, Lu You had a vague premonition.

This time in the capital city, they might not be able to wait for their uncle and aunt to arrive.

"Wait."

After a slight hesitation, Lu Yi looked up at Lu You.

"Second sister, let's wait a little longer. If the Jin soldiers arrive and Third Uncle and Third Aunt haven't arrived yet, can we leave later?"

Looking at Lu Yi's almost begging eyes, Lu You raised his hand and threw the token in his hand to Lu Yi.

“It has to work!”

"Take the token. It's up to you when to leave."

"Don't worry, I can definitely protect you!"

…………

That night, when Lu You and the other two returned to Wen Chengbo's courtyard, Wen Chengbo had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time.

"Why did you come back so late? The food has gone cold while I was waiting for you guys!"

Wen Chengbo welcomed them into the main room, where a large table of dishes and half a bowl of meat patties had already been prepared.

Wen Chengbo sat at the table carefree, picked up a meat pie and put it into his mouth.

"We are both warriors, so we have big appetites."

"Eat as much as you want. If it's not enough, I'll ask them to make it anytime."

Lu You looked at the table full of meat and felt his appetite growl. He sat down and started eating with Wen Chengbo.

Lu Yi turned his head to look at the yard, where the skinned goat was being eaten by the black panther and placed in a wooden basin.

"Second Young Master, who ordered the preparation of this goat?"

Wen Chengbo was eating, and when he heard this, he turned around and looked at the black panther outside.

"My eldest brother."

"At sunset, he sent a message to the palace, asking them to prepare a skinned goat and send it here every day."

"It is said that Miss Lu has a black panther, and this is specially prepared for it."

"what happened?"
