After Reincarnating into Ancient Times, She Bound a Express Delivery System

Chapter 271: Bones by the Indeterminate River: A Tale of Woe

Chapter 271

Qi Huan thought carefully.

Now that the war was nearing its end, she still had 370,000 points, more than enough to purchase supplies.

So, she said, "Upgrade!"

The System worked hard to upgrade, upgrading to a level 12 system!

It turned the volume up to maximum and proudly declared: "This System, the handsome and clever old do-gooder, has reached max level in the third year of Yan Qi!"

"Thank you to the generous, beautiful, lovely, talkative and hearty host!"

"Thank you to the System Management Bureau!"

"Thank you to Li Country, thank you to the people!"

"Thank you to every line of code in this System's programming!"

"......"

When it finished its long string of acknowledgments, it discovered it had been muted by its host.......

One incense stick later.

Qi Huan unmuted it and asked, "What are the new functions gained?"

"In response to the host, the level 10 function is that your truck has materialized in physical form."

Qi Huan looked at the broken road outside the door and fell silent......

"The level 11 function is that your truck's fuel tank can automatically refill!"

Not only could this save points on refueling, but it also allowed unlimited use of the power supply in the cab.

Qi Huan was very satisfied!

Then, the System announced the final function she had been most looking forward to.

"The level 12 function is that you can connect to the exclusive hotspot shared by this System!"

"The hotspot name is: Host host, who is the cleverest System in this world?"

"The answer is: rixingyishanzhilaoyingjunlaojiling (The handsome and clever old do-gooder)"

Qi Huan fell silent again.......

She quickly took out her phone from her space and connected to the internet, but was disappointed to find she couldn't log into WeChat or Douyin.......

She didn't have a phone number.

"Host, there are always more difficulties than solutions, my condolences."

"I won't accept that!" Qi Huan issued a command: "Help me buy a phone number from Taobao!"

"...But there's no signal here."

The System paused, then continued to deliver bad news: "The host's phone can only receive information from the previous world, it can't send information."

After digesting this for a while.

Qi Huan resigned herself to opening Baidu, at least she could still access all kinds of knowledge from the internet.

She could still use Meitu XiuXiu to take photos, and watch a few episodes of Empresses in the Palace......

She could also read "After Reincarnating into Ancient Times, She Bound a Express Delivery System" on Fanqie Novel, which the System Lord gave five stars.

Qi Huan was content.

As the war neared its end, Southern Liang made a desperate last stand, dispatching their remaining half of troops to intercept the Li army's convoy transporting gunpowder......

What should have been an easy final battle suddenly became difficult.

Their own secret weapon had fallen into enemy hands.......

When Li Shuchen finished adjusting the battle plans and returned to his tent wrapped in wind and snow, Qi Huan stood on tiptoe to remove his cloak and proactively gave him a warm embrace.

"Shu, let me go to Liang Capital."

They had fought all the way to the Southern Liang capital, and the decisive battle was unfolding outside Liang Capital.

The enemy was here, and the gunpowder might be here too.

She could hide in her space first, infiltrate the palace, gather intelligence,......act as a spy.

Then, she could go to where the gunpowder was stored, collect it all into her space,......act as a great thief.

Finally, she could take the opportunity to eliminate the enemy country's emperor, leaving them leaderless and thrown into sudden chaos,......act as an assassin.

"Host, you've really made perfect use of the functions gained at levels 7, 8, and 9......."

Qi Huan chuckled twice: "Each function cost me 100,000 points, they must be put to use!"

As she was talking to the System, she was suddenly pulled back to reality by Li Shuchen's passionate embrace.

In the tent, a single lamp burned dimly.

Li Shuchen's eyes suddenly darkened, and he spat out two words through gritted teeth: "Not allowed."

He could spend more time, but he absolutely wouldn't allow her to be put in any danger.

As the commander-in-chief, it was unrealistic for him to suddenly disappear.

If word got out, it would cause even more trouble.

He couldn't split himself to accompany Qi Huan to Liang Capital, so he wouldn't allow her to take the risk of going.

She had already done too much for him, accelerating the process of establishing his empire that might have originally taken decades to complete.

How could he ask her to take such risks just for a quick victory?

Qi Huan wanted to say more, but was shamelessly silenced by his lips on hers,.......until she passed out from his vigorous efforts.

The next day.

Yan Qing kept stealing glances at her, and finally stamped her foot and crept over to whisper:

"My lady, His Majesty told this servant to watch you and make sure you don't do anything rash."

"But this servant thought about it, and realized I've grown up eating your food, so I should listen to you more."

"What rash thing do you want to do?......This servant will help you!"

Hearing this, Qi Huan was taken aback.

After coming to her senses, she smiled and wanted to pat Yan Qing's head, but realized she had grown taller than her.......

"Qing Qing, do you think Shu doesn't understand your intentions? He must have arranged other secret guards to watch over me."

"Moreover, I want to help him, not make him worry. I won't act rashly on my own."

"Shu has the ability and tactics, I believe in him."

Although disappointed, Qi Huan did not sneak away without saying goodbye.

Until she saw their own soldiers injured by gunpowder.......

Among the wounded.

Er Gouzi lost a leg, Wang Fatty lost an arm, Liu Dazhuang lost his entire life.......

Although she understood that war was cruel, her heart was already biased, hoping that her own people could all return safely.

Return safely to marry their beloved.

Return safely to care for their aging mothers.

Return safely to hug their babbling children.......

They had come to Southern Liang together, and she wanted to bring them all back home safe and sound.

Due to her position, she only hoped that Li Country would quickly conquer Southern Liang and end the war.

As for why she didn't persuade Li Shuchen to negotiate peace with Liang Country to reduce casualties, it was because she knew that both Li Shuchen and the Southern Liang emperor were ambitious men.......

The world had been divided for too long, and conflict would inevitably arise again sooner or later.

Rather than waiting for sporadic conflicts to break out over the next few decades, it was better to seize the moment now, unify the three countries, and end the division.

She couldn't change the course of history, she just wanted to hasten the end of the war.

She found Li Shuchen again, and after demonstrating the functions of levels 7, 8, and 9 to him, she said very seriously: "Shu, I want to go."

Silence spread, and time seemed to pass for a very long time.......

Li Shuchen saw through the stubborn look in her eyes and compromised: "I'll go with you."

Qi Huan smiled with curved eyes: "If He were here, I would agree to you accompanying me."

"After these years, He has shown both courage and wisdom, and can be relied upon."

"But Mo Wangshan is all brawn and no brains, leaving him in charge of the army is worrying at every turn."

"Shu, perhaps after the war ends, we can establish a military academy, not only to teach martial arts, but also to instruct in military strategy, to cultivate a group of high-level military talents......"

"Mo Wangshan has outstanding military achievements, it wouldn't be excessive to grant him a title, but on the battlefield, he's only suitable as a vanguard."

"With the lack of capable generals, the main camp can't do without you."

Hearing this, Li Shuchen stared at her with bloodshot eyes, remaining silent for a long time.

Qi Huan smiled and hooked her arms around his neck, pulling him down to kiss the corner of his tightly pressed lips.

"Shu, trust me."

"Let's end this quickly and go home together!"

"I miss Grandmother, and Little Nian'en......."

Li Shuchen tightly gripped her waist, pinning her against the desk, and asked in a hoarse voice: "If I don't agree, is your next step to run away in secret?"

Qi Huan avoided his gaze and changed the subject: "Shu, did you know? Er Gouzi always helps me run errands, helps me call you back for meals."

"Wang Fatty is very strong, with a bright smile, he often helps me and Doctor Shen move the wounded."

"The compressed biscuits issued in the military camp, Liu Dazhuang couldn't bear to eat them, secretly hiding them on his person. I overheard someone ask him why he did this?"

"He said, such special food, Cui Hua has definitely never tasted it before, he wanted to bring it back for her to try."

"Poor bones by the endless river, still in a maiden's spring dream."

"......I once hesitated, thinking of persuading you to negotiate peace with Southern Liang."

"But I know that the royal family of Southern Liang is vengeful. If we don't completely defeat them and give them a chance to catch their breath, given their wealth and warlike nature, they will soon come back with a vengeance. In the end, we still won't be able to escape war."

"So, let's end this war as quickly as possible. With minimal cost..."

"My System is already an old, max-level system. It always says it doesn't want to part with its first max-level experience. It constantly reminds me to put goji berries in my thermos and drink more hot water, hoping I'll live to ninety-nine years old so it can enjoy the happy life of being max-level with me longer. Later, when it goes back to the System Management Bureau, it'll have something to brag about..."

"It says it will protect me."

"It's a powerful entity from the future world."

"Shu, don't worry."
