Gu Xiao had decided to visit the camp. After covering his face, he used Qing Kung Fu and jumped to the outside of the patrol camp. At first, he was worried that the patrol soldiers were patrolling heavily and would not be able to sneak in, but he did not expect this. The military tent has been set up in the camp, and the soldiers have all gone into the tent to rest. No one is patrolling for the time being.
Unknown about the details of the patrolling army, Gu Xiao did not dare to sneak in rashly, so he had to hide outside the camp and wait and see for a while. After some exploration, he finally found the previous Guzi Primary School outside the first military tent.
At this moment, he was walking swaggeringly through various military tents. Seeing his honest and honest look with a smiling face greeting him from a distance, Gu Xiao would not put him together with the ruthless man who just killed the ordering soldiers with a sword.
He could vaguely hear laughter coming from every military tent he visited. Gu Xiao finally understood why the young man in snow clothes gave him the oiled paper bag. It seemed that this man was very popular among the patrol. Excellent, if he goes to do the poisoning, he can do it easily.
Gu Xiao thought to himself: "No, regardless of whether some of the patrol officers are secretly colluding with the bandits, if he gets his hands on it, the consequences will be disastrous."
He hid and watched for a while, and saw that there were really no soldiers patrolling and guarding the troops. After making up his mind, Gu Xiao didn't wait any longer and jumped into the military camp.
After hiding in the military tent, he looked around and happened to see Huzi walking out of a military tent with a smile. Seeing him walking towards the military tent where he was hiding, he hurriedly hid behind the military tent.
Not long after, the sound of the tent curtain being lifted was heard, accompanied by gourd laughter reaching Gu Xiao's ears through the military tent.
"Brothers, you are in good hands today. The general has sent an order. We will camp here tonight. The general's distinguished guests have traveled thousands of miles and brought wine and meat to everyone. Our general Gao has sent a message to ask for troops. Let’s have a banquet to thank the guests, and everyone will have a good meal and warm up in a while.”
"Thank you Brother Huzi." The soldiers in the camp were already on their way in the wind and snow. When they were tired, they were naturally happy to hear the news of setting up camp. They were even more happy when they heard that they had prepared food and wine. They got up one after another and headed towards the military tent. The man without armor stood up and clasped his fists.
"You don't have to be polite. My young master has known General Gao for a long time. When passing by Yanbei, he saw that our brothers have worked so hard for our people. It is appropriate to reward everyone for their hard work."
Although Gu Xiao was outside the military tent, he could hear the words spoken by the man in the tent, and knew that this person was definitely not a sergeant in the army. Moreover, there was inner strength in this person's voice. He could tell as soon as he heard it, it was probably the words spoken by Mr. Xueyi. Arrange people in the military tents of the patrol army.
From this point of view, the young master in snow clothes wanted to poison him first and then strike. I didn't expect him to be so bold and vicious. From what I heard from the soldiers, there were at least ten people in the military tent. Thinking about it, Gu Xiao looked around and roughly estimated that there were at least fifty tents in the patrolling army.
"He actually had the evil intention of killing all the five hundred soldiers." Gu Xiao's heart froze, and he immediately thought of the small oil paper bag that the young man in snow clothes handed to Gouzi's hand.
The masked man hadn't appeared yet, but Gu Xiao couldn't wait any longer. The lives of these five hundred soldiers depended on his own thoughts, because Gu Xiao had already seen Huzi walking towards the next military tent.
Whether it was the smell of fireworks that was constantly emanating from the military tent, or the screams of living creatures, it didn't take much thinking to know that the military tent was where the kitchen was. At this moment, live birds were being slaughtered, and the fire was made to make rice. The patrol banquet is being prepared.
"Suffer it."
Gu Xiao muttered to himself, he was really in a dilemma at this moment. If he rushed into the military tent to stop him, as an outsider, let alone whether these soldiers could believe that the gourd was poisoned, if the gourd was raked up, he would be unable to defend himself.
"To catch a thief and seize the stolen goods, you have to find a way to prevent him from doing it himself."
I remembered what the young man in snow clothes said when he was outside the military camp. Since he wanted to wait until these soldiers were poisoned before taking action, if these soldiers were not poisoned...
What a coincidence, when Gu Xiao was just settling down his thoughts, he looked into the empty military camp from a distance and saw a row of teeth "floating". He was really startled, and when he stared, he could see clearly that the person had a dark complexion, which was different from the night sky. blended together, thus creating an illusion.
Heaving a long sigh of relief, Gu Xiaoxing's eyes showed no fear, but a look of joy, because Gu Xiao saw the spatula in this man's hand...
Lao Jin is Gao Deng's cook and one of Gao Deng's most trusted people in Yanbei. It was Lao Jin who pretended to be a commoner and falsely accused his master. At this moment, Lao Jin was rushing from the general's camp to the kitchen tent. .
For Lao Jin, stewing his favorite mutton soup for General Gao was the most important thing in Lao Jin's heart.
Humming a little tune and shaking the big spoon in his hand, Lao Jin was still thinking about the mutton in the pot. Those guys were very careless. If the meat was not stewed badly, they would have to be taught a lesson.
Suddenly his eyes flashed, and Lao Jin suddenly felt his collar tighten, and his whole body was pulled over. His row of snow-white teeth were all pulled by this sudden tug. He couldn't react in time and almost fell into the snow. Although he was unprepared, he was caught He pulled it away, but he held the spatula tightly in his hand and never dropped it.
Before he could react, Lao Jin felt a cold sharp instrument placed on his neck. He was about to look back when he heard the person behind him speak in a deep voice.
"Don't look around, dare to speak out, be careful about your life."
Lao Jin really couldn't understand that there were still people who dared to break into the dignified Yanbei patrol, let alone why this man would embarrass himself as a cook. However, Lao Jin had been following Gordon for many years and he could be considered to have seen the world. He only said: I met a stupid thief, so I suppressed the smile in my heart and spoke.
"Hero, I'm not laughing at you. Don't you see what kind of place this is. It needs money, but we don't have it. But if the hero is hungry, our cook has never starved to death. We can take care of the big steamed buns with mutton soup, but that's it. ...When a good man is full, he might as well leave on his own."
Gu Xiao had always been "sharp-tongued and eloquent", but this time the waiter's words left him speechless. Hearing him say "big steamed buns in mutton soup" again, his stomach growled unsatisfactorily, and he almost asked him where he could eat "big steamed buns in mutton soup".
He quickly shook his head and shook "mutton soup steamed buns" out of his mind. Gu Xiao continued to speak in a deep voice: "Someone wants to harm you, and I'm here to save them."
How could Lao Jin believe that these dignified patrols would dare to harm anyone and who they would harm? When he almost laughed out loud, he heard the person behind him continue to speak.
"Has a group of people arrived in your army recently? Also, is there a small school named Guzi in this army?"
Hearing this, Lao Jin couldn't help but laugh. If the "stupid thief" behind him had ulterior motives and saw the distinguished guests entering the camp, that would be a reasonable explanation, but Guzi was definitely not someone who could just say it casually and suppress the smile on his face. Yes, I already believed it when I opened my mouth.
"How can a good man say this?"
"They want to take action against the patrol, but they are afraid of being defeated. The only way is to poison them, and the person who poisoned them is Gouzi."
Hearing this, Lao Jin, who was already convinced, couldn't help but laugh. If it weren't for the bright long sword beside his neck, Lao Jin would have looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Hero, how about we talk about the big steamed buns in mutton soup?"
Gu Xiao also knew that it would be difficult for the other party to believe what he said. He suddenly thought and said, "Didn't you say that there have never been people who starved to death in the hands of cooks? What if your big steamed bun with mutton soup killed someone?" You will regret not listening to my advice.”
When it came to food, Lao Jin was a little shaken. Then he thought again, there is always a chance in everything... This "stupid thief" would not sit around and come to patrol the army to do such stupid things as making false accusations and breaking into the military camp without permission. It's a serious crime, and he might even risk his life here.
"Hero, tell me how you got the news."
Hearing the waiter's tone, he already had some confidence. Gu Xiao immediately said: "It's a long story. I happened to hear about it. Gouzi has gone to the kitchen tent. Is there anything wrong with him? You’ll know once you try it.”
At this moment, Lao Jin was already convinced. He nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I believe you for the time being. If that's the case, let me go back to the kitchen and military tent to take a look."
Gu Xiao was in trouble, and he didn't know whether to believe the waiter's words. If he left, he would immediately shout for reinforcements and put himself in danger. But he wouldn't let him go until the gourd dropped. Once poisoned, it will be irreversible.
As soon as his mind moved, Gu Xiao had an idea and said: "If you find that what I said is true and you need help, come here to find me. If you want to call someone, don't blame me for being ruthless. If I can catch you silently, I can take your life in the midst of this patrol."
In fact, Gu Xiao's worries were somewhat unnecessary. At this moment, Lao Jin was no longer in the mood to care about the origin of this mysterious "stupid thief" behind him. He just wanted to go back to the kitchen and have a look. He quickly responded: "Don't worry, hero. If what he says is true, there's no need." The hero said, I will also come to ask the hero for help, even if the hero's words do not come true, I will not report the hero's painstaking efforts."
As soon as Lao Jin finished speaking, he felt the coldness on his neck disappear. He quickly looked back. In the cold winter night, apart from the barracks, there was an icy land. Where was the figure of the mysterious man? His hair suddenly stood up, and he subconsciously wanted to He opened his mouth to summon the soldiers, but then he thought about what the mysterious man had just said, and had to swallow the words that came to his lips.
He looked sideways at the kitchen tent, and then at the general's camp. He tightened his grip on the spoon in his hand, gritted his teeth, stopped talking, and turned around to look at the kitchen tent.
Opening the curtain, Lao Jin immediately saw Gouzi greeting everyone with a smile, and couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.
Seeing that it was Lao Jin who was coming, Gouzi calmly put his hand into the pot, clasped the oil paper bag used to wrap the poison in his hand and hid it, looked at Lao Jin with a bigger smile and said hello.
"Lao Jin, you are back. I heard that you were called to the general's tent. I was a little worried, but thinking that you are the most capable person in front of General Gao, I feel relieved... Hurry, hurry, do it. Give us a bowl of mutton soup to taste."
If it were in the past, Lao Jin would have grinned and immediately ordered a bowl of gourds to be served so that the boy could satisfy his greed first. But today, Lao Jin couldn't smile no matter how hard he smiled. Thinking of the words of the mysterious "stupid thief", he thought: Using the method of testing, he made up his mind and gave instructions.
"Then...who, hurry up and serve a bowl of mutton soup to the gourd."
Hou Zi keenly caught Lao Jin's expression and realized that something was wrong. It seemed that Lao Jin today was not as carefree as in the past. He was very enthusiastic. There was a cold look in his eyes, a look of concern on his face, and he said: "Why? Okay, Lao Jin, could it be that you were reprimanded by our general? No, you are an old man in front of our general, so I won’t reprimand you."
Lao Jin took advantage of the situation and took the mutton soup from the hands of his waiter. He tried his best to smile and said as if nothing had happened: "General, how can you think of scolding me? You are just thinking about this mutton soup. Okay, you kid, hurry up while it's hot." Have a drink and go on errands."
A pair of eyes stared fixedly at Gouzi's eyes, and Lao Jin handed the mutton soup in front of Gouzi.
Gouzi really wanted to slap himself twice. He had long been used to coming to this gang's military tent to eat and drink. Just now, in order not to make Lao Jin doubt him, he blurted out the soup thing. This time he really shot himself in the foot. .
Looking at the mutton soup brought to him, Gouzi's eyes moved, he put on a smile, took the mutton soup, put it aside, put his arms around Lao Jin's shoulders and said with a smile: "I think you are wrong, Lao Jin, are you from the past?" General, what benefits did you get? You are hiding it and don’t want to show it to me. Come on, come on, come on, show me what good stuff there is.”
Lao Jin was being hugged by Gouzi's shoulders this time, but he glanced at the bowl of mutton soup that had been put aside. Thinking of how he usually came to the kitchen tent to eat and drink, he already believed the mysterious man's words. .
Some people died, but not completely...
