Seeing the military uniforms Qi Huan and others were wearing, the soldier relaxed again, waved his hand and said,
"Go away and patrol elsewhere. You still can't take care of grandpa's food and grass camp. If you delay grandpa's sleep any longer, I won't provide you with food and grass tomorrow, and you will all eat shit."
Hearing this, Qi Huan almost laughed angrily.
He glanced at the soldiers lying in a mess, then slowly took out the dagger from his waist and rushed forward.
Qi Huan pushed the soldier onto the haystack, covered his mouth with his left hand, and swung the knife with his right hand, directly cutting the soldier's throat.
The trachea and aorta were cut off, and the soldier's eyes widened instantly. He wanted to scream but couldn't, and could only slide down weakly.
The people behind Qi Huan immediately moved and jumped on the soldiers, killing them neatly.
This process was very fast. In less than a minute, all the soldiers guarding the food and grass were killed without making a sound.
Qi Huan led people to bring the burning oil basins from the roadside and sprinkled them evenly on the grain piles and haystacks. In an instant, a raging fire broke out in the grain and grass camp.
The fire here was soaring into the sky, and the patrol team on the other side noticed it immediately and shouted,
"It's gone! It's gone!"
After hearing the shouting, Qi Huan immediately waved his hand and led everyone to escape outside.
The shouts of the patrol woke up the entire battalion. Many people ran out of the tents and looked at the flames soaring into the sky. They were panicking and didn't know what to do.
"Get water quickly and put out the fire!"
The blazing flames and the air waves formed made it impossible for anyone to get closer within a few dozen meters. Even if someone brought water, they could not get close. They could only splash it from a distance, but it was of no avail. Not above the fire.
After Qi Huan and others rushed out of the grain and grass camp, they quickly sneaked outside. Suddenly, a general in armor called out to them,
"Hey, you guys, why are you running?"
Qi Huan immediately stopped and said,
"General Qi, we are looking for buckets to fetch water to put out the fire."
"The buckets have been taken away. There are still a few buckets in the general's tent. Go and get some water."
"As you command!"
Qi Huan looked at the escort behind the general, thought of a sneak attack, and then led everyone into his camp.
In the camp, Qi Huan found six or seven large and small buckets. When he was about to leave with the buckets, he suddenly saw the wine bottle on the table.
Qi Huan immediately took out the poison, opened the wine bottle, went in, and then hurriedly left with everyone.
"Brother, there are people everywhere, we can't climb over the wall and leave."
Li Mo looked at the chaotic military camp and said anxiously to Qi Huan.
"What are you afraid of? Come with me."
Qi Huan led them and ran towards the gate of the camp.
After arriving at the gate, the soldier guarding the gate shouted,
"What are you doing? Go back!"
Qi Huan lifted the bucket in his hand and said,
"The water inside has been drained. We have to go out to fetch water quickly. There is a small river to the west. We have to get there quickly!"
The soldiers guarding the gate looked at the buckets they were holding, then looked at the firelight in the camp, and said,
"Okay then, go quickly!"
The soldiers hurriedly opened the camp gate and let Qi Huan and others out.
In the handsome tent, Liu Hu was sleeping soundly and was awakened by the noise outside.
He opened his eyes dissatisfiedly, and when he heard shouts from outside that the water was gone, the water was gone, he immediately sat up straight and his eyes widened.
Liu Hu stood up in a hurry, not even bothering to put on his shoes, and rushed out with his robe on.
As soon as he went out, he saw the fire soaring into the sky in the distance, and the sweeping heat wave hit his face, almost making him breathless.
"Someone is coming! Someone is coming!"
"grown ups!"
The general who had been talking to Qi Huan ran over.
"General Ning, what's going on!"
Liu Hu asked with wide eyes.
"Sir, for some reason, a fire suddenly broke out over the grain and grass area, and the soldiers guarding the grain and grass were burned to death!"
"What do you mean there was a fire all of a sudden? That's because the food and grass were burned! There must be a spy in the camp. Check the camp immediately and find out the spy!"
Today he is just burning food and grass, but tomorrow he wants to chop off your and my heads, what should I do? "
"General I understand, I will go check it out now!"
"you come back!"
Liu Hu shouted, looked at General Ning and asked,
"Tell me, how much food and grass can be saved?"
Hearing this, General Ning replied hesitantly,
"Sir, the fire is too strong. It's high and dry now, and it's not raining. The soldiers can't get close. I'm afraid... I'm afraid they won't be able to save much."
"Then tell me what the soldiers will eat tomorrow!"
Liu Hu shouted with wide eyes.
"This... we can only transport food and grass from the county government here."
"The supply of food and grass is so slow. It takes at least five days to walk from the county government here. Are all the soldiers in the army going to be hungry in these five days? Are they so hungry that they don't have the strength to be killed by the bandits in Qingfeng Village?"
Liu Hu paced back and forth angrily. Suddenly, he stopped and said to General Ning,
"Early tomorrow morning, you will lead a team to collect grain in villages, towns, and villages. You will collect as much grain as you can. You will take 3,000 people out and send them to each village in small teams to collect grain!
In addition, hurry up and send people to the county government to collect food! "
"I will obey your orders!"
General Ning held his hands.
"Go quickly! Go investigate the spies first!
You incompetent idiot, it’s all your fault that the food and grass were burned! If you were not the only general left now, I would chop off your head first!
Go quickly! "
General Ning turned his back to the county guard and strode away, gritting his teeth secretly, feeling extremely tight in his chest.
After returning to his tent, General Ning sat down on a chair and began to sulk.
It's none of his business if the damn food and grass are burned. The bastard county governor throws all the blame on him, isn't he just bullying him as a junior official?
After working hard all night, being burned and scolded, General Ning felt as if his chest and stomach were being burned.
He grabbed the wine bottle on the table and drank it down.
After drinking, he suddenly felt a cramp in his abdomen, then foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground with a plop.
When the guards outside heard the sound, they immediately ran in and saw General Ning twitching on the ground, with more air coming out and less air coming in.
Seeing this, everyone shouted in horror,
"Hurry and report to the county guard!"
A guard immediately ran out quickly. When he came to the handsome tent, he saw Liu Hu putting on his shoes and shouted,
"Sir, Lord Sheriff, it's not good, General Ning committed suicide by taking poison!"
"What? Commit suicide by taking poison?"
Liu Hu suddenly stood up, feeling like the world was spinning and he was about to fall down.
The guard next to him rushed over to help him.
Liu Hu pointed at the guard of General Ning and shouted,
"Quick, take me to see it!"
