Exile? A mad, wicked woman empties the national treasury to escape famine.

The cold wind was howling, and coughs could be heard every now and then.

This gave Ji Yunshu some time. Although she was holding a silenced pistol, there was still a faint sound when the spike pierced the tent.

Ji Yunshu gripped the gun, her eyes fixed on the battlefield. Using the cold wind and the sound of her coughs as cover, she pulled the trigger.

"call out--"

A faint sound came from the air, so faint that it was almost inaudible. If Ji Yunshu and Xie Moyao hadn't been operating the pistols, they themselves wouldn't have heard it.

Ji Yunshu gave a big thumbs-up to the pistol in her hand, "It truly lives up to its reputation as a silenced pistol."

As Ji Yunshu pulled the trigger, a hole the size of a palm instantly appeared in the tent she had just aimed at.

The cold wind howled into the hole. Ji Yunshu closed her eyes, and with a thought, the tip of the sword that had been shot out reappeared in her hand.

Xie Moyao leaned against Ji Yunshu's back, staring in disbelief at the scene. He knew that Ji Yunshu had a space and that she was powerful, but seeing her take something out and retrieve it from a distance, making it suddenly appear in her hand, was still very impactful.

He doubted he was seeing things, rubbed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the sword tip was still in Ji Yunshu's hand, and Ji Yunshu had put it back on the muzzle of the gun.

The next second, she took the gun in her hand again, aimed it at the tent she had just been shooting at, and pulled the trigger. In the blink of an eye, a hole the size of a palm appeared on the other side of the tent.

The cold wind howled inside, and with a hole on each side, the wind kept pouring in. Xie Moyao saw with his own eyes that the originally flat tent was blown up by the wind.

He suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and could imagine that the people sleeping in the tent were sleeping as if they were in the open air.

It's estimated that they'll be woken up by the cold soon, and even if they are woken up, it's likely that they will freeze to death.

Ji Yunshu moved swiftly and decisively, constantly using her mind to retrieve the sword tips she had shot out, placing them back on the muzzle of her gun, and firing them at the other tents.

Each time, the faint sound was masked by the howling wind and the coughs of the villagers.

Even though many people in the crowd were still awake, none of them noticed anything unusual.

Before long, apart from Xie Moyao's two tents, the other tents all had three or four holes of various sizes.

The wind kept pouring in, making each tent bulge, and the torn holes and tattered pieces of cloth were blown around by the wind.

Amidst the howling wind and the sounds of coughing in the air, the rustling of cloth strips was completely unheard by the people sleeping soundly inside the tent.

Ji Yunshu didn't know which tent Chu Jingrui was in. She was angry at the moment, so she simply pitched holes in all the tents.

There were quite a few holes punched in each tent.

Once she was sure she hadn't missed anything, she was satisfied and put away her pistol and sword tip, throwing them back into her spatial storage.

"Alright, let's see how they sleep tonight."

She clapped her hands, looking at her masterpiece with satisfaction.

Xie Moyao looked at her with a smile. Only his wife was so clever as to come up with such a solution.

This is indeed a good way to punish the Second Prince and his men, since they always steal other people's things.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"Old woman, come sit a little closer. It's hot and warmer here."

"No need, move the baby over a bit. I'm an old woman, I can withstand the cold to some extent, but the child can't, he'll get frostbite."

Ji Yunshu and Xie Moyao were inside the tent, while the sounds of villagers talking could be heard from outside from time to time.

Every time someone spoke, it was accompanied by several coughs, each one louder than the last, as if they were coughing up their lungs.

Ji Yunshu glanced at the time in the space; it was only one o'clock in the morning.

They still have about five or six hours to go until tomorrow morning. With such heavy snow and wind, the villagers have no shelter and are dressed in very thin clothes.

Can you get through these five or six hours?

Ji Yunshu was somewhat worried.

If she hadn't seen it, it would have been fine, but since she had, she couldn't ignore it, especially since she had a pretty good relationship with Zhang Lizheng and Uncle Zhao.

She couldn't bear to watch these people freeze to death.

Xie Moyao sat beside her, noticing her hesitation, and asked calmly:

"What else do you want to do?"

His tone was somewhat worried. What Ji Yunshu did tonight was already quite bizarre, and Chu Jingrui would definitely become suspicious. He really didn't want Ji Yunshu to make any further moves.

Once Ji Yunshu's extraordinary abilities are discovered, they will face endless pursuit.

Although they had Ji Yunshu's weapons and were not afraid, being constantly hunted was still very annoying, and they couldn't spend their whole lives hiding in Ji Yunshu's space.

So even though he asked, he had already made up his mind to dissuade Ji Yunshu from the idea.

"I think……"

I disagree.

Before Ji Yunshu could finish speaking, Xie Moyao interrupted her calmly.

Ji Yunshu blinked: "Do you know what I'm going to say? You disagree?"

Xie Moyao sighed deeply, his eyes filled with struggle.

He was conflicted; he wanted to help the villagers, but he didn't want his wife to expose herself.

"I roughly know what you're trying to say, which is why I disagreed. You just punctured those guards' tents, which was quite conspicuous."

He stopped there and didn't continue. Ji Yunshu was a smart person and could understand the meaning behind his words.

Ji Yunshu opened her mouth. She understood Xie Moyao's worries and knew she couldn't expose herself any further. After thinking for a moment, a sudden inspiration struck her:

"I've got it! I have a solution that can both shield the villagers from the cold wind and cover up the fact that I just punctured the tent. What do you think?"

Xie Moyao raised an eyebrow: "You tell me first."

Ji Yunshu excitedly leaned close to Xie Moyao's ear and explained her idea. Xie Moyao listened and nodded slightly.

"Your idea sounds good, but who's going?"

Seeing that Xie Moyao didn't object, Ji Yunshu was overjoyed and pointed to the tent next to her:

"Let Second Sister-in-law go! Second Sister-in-law and the others stay in the tent. If she takes things out of the tent, no one will suspect anything. I can also go over there and tamper with the things she takes out so that no one will notice anything unusual."

Her eyes lit up; she was already quite impatient.

"So how do you plan to get there? It seems your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law don't know about your space yet. Are you sure you won't scare them when you go there..."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
