Chapter 223 Crafty
There was a special doctor in the escort team to inspect the wine and food, so there was certainly no problem with the food, so he let the servants prepare it with confidence, and then in the evening, there was another big meal.
"You look very happy." The old eunuch made a pot of tea. The tea that the princess left in the car was of first-class quality and the old eunuch enjoyed it very much.
"To be honest, I'm really afraid that the person who comes to deliver the food and drinks is someone I know." Zhao Yushu took the teacup, took a sip, and grimaced because of the heat.
"It's just one more prison van."
You make it sound simple, they are all my friends. I don't feel any psychological pressure to ride in a perfume car while two big monks ride in a prison car. But if two more girls come, how can I sit there?
Let's just go to Dongdu peacefully. Once we get there, I'll have the old eunuch lead the team to squat at the gate of the academy and see if you, Gu Changfeng, can save your dignity.
As night fell, fresh wine and meat were prepared, and the camp was filled with joy. But at this moment, another convoy arrived.
"Thanks to the eunuch's help, I didn't know there were so many soldiers. I didn't send enough wine and food. I quickly sent some more while the city gates are still open. Fortunately, I didn't miss your dinner."
It turned out to be that local tyrant again. From what he said, he was encouraged by the old eunuch, so he just flattered him and sent another bunch of supplies over.
There was no need to alarm the old eunuch for such a small matter. The Jinwu Guards took over the convoy with a wave of their hands. The sight of a fifth-level cultivator being so humble in front of mortals like them greatly satisfied the Jinwu Guards' inner vanity.
The monk was also very tactful. He delivered the gifts and left without asking for anything.
The camp for hundreds of people is not big, but it is definitely not small either. The Jinwu Guards in particular are used to a life of luxury in Xijing, and they would never be like the soldiers who are crowded in dozens of people in one tent. Anyway, there are sufficient supplies and time, so the camp is actually several miles in radius.
Whether it was a coincidence or luck, the old eunuch's perception was all focused on the area dozens of feet around Zhao Yushu, and he knew nothing about the little thing that happened at the gate of the camp.
Most of the new deliveries were fine wines. This escort mission was originally an easy one, with a big boss from the inner court in charge. The Jinwu Guards were just there to make things look more formal, and many of the rules in the military camp were thrown aside. Most people were given a lot of fine wine.
The lax military discipline in the Tang Dynasty can be seen from this.
There was nothing wrong with the food and wine that was delivered the first time. When it was delivered the second time, the doctors were basically resting, so no one asked them to check it carefully again. Even if they did, they would not find any poison in it. But it was better to be cautious. They chose to deliver it at this time, and it was the second time, so they successfully paralyzed everyone.
Moer didn't use poison.
The only purpose of the fifth-level cultivator that Mo'er hired at a huge expense was to show up at the first gift delivery in order to lower the guards' vigilance. As for whether it would be traced back to him in the future, he could only blame himself for not being capable enough if he took money to help others get rid of disasters and didn't have the ability to handle it.
The one who came the second time was naturally Mo'er himself.
Under her secret method, the local tyrant only needed to stay alone in the room for a period of time as required, and he could just become invisible so that no one could see him.
One stick of incense was enough time for Moer to deliver the gift and leave.
After drinking, the Jinwu Guards felt a little hot. It might be because the alcohol was too strong, or it might be because it was summer and the weather was hot.
The heat was getting stronger and stronger. Some soldiers had taken off their armor and unbuttoned their clothes, but it was of no avail. Fortunately, there was a stream nearby, and some people had left the camp to take a bath despite the ban.
The little commotion in the camp eventually caught the old eunuch's attention, and he immediately called a servant to check it out. When the servant came back, he looked embarrassed and said, "Maybe he drank some wine, and the alcohol took effect, so he went to take a bath."
The old eunuch snorted coldly, "A bunch of useless people, relying on the influence of their ancestors to get a position in the Jinwu Guard, it's fine if they act arrogantly in Xijing, but they also walk around in circles when they go out, which is embarrassing. Go, give the leader fifty lashes!"
The servant took the order and left. The old eunuch turned around and immediately put on a smiling face: "They are all sons of nobles. It's okay for them to do ceremonial work, but if they really travel through mountains and rivers, their true colors will be exposed."
Zhao Yushu nodded: "Originally, they could have followed the prince back directly, but I have suffered so much, and it is rare to have good wine to drink, so I can't help but indulge myself."
"Don't worry, if anyone dares to complain to you, or even give you a disrespectful look, I will just pick up the food he eats."
Zhao Yushu suddenly grinned. You made the murder sound so nonchalant with such a smile on your face. I am really not perverted enough and can't keep up with your pace.
The Jinwu Guard who led the way into the water was beaten up, and everyone calmed down a little. However, the old eunuch didn't know that his behavior was the last assist for Mo'er. If everyone took turns to soak in the cold water of the stream, perhaps they could suppress the situation for a while longer. But now this heat cannot be solved by discipline and willpower alone.
An inexplicable heat slowly spread downward from the stomach and intestines. Some of the Jinwu Guards who had special hobbies began to look at their companions with strange eyes.
Mo'er gave me an aphrodisiac.
Mo'er didn't have much contact with Zhao Yushu, so in Zhao Yushu's eyes, Mo'er was a well-behaved, proud and lovely little girl.
As the liaison between Yun Gu and Ghost Town, Mo'er is extremely talented. She has reached the fifth level of the sky at a young age. In a small place, she is already a master who can establish her own school. However, Ghost Town is the most chaotic place. As a woman, even if she is a white lotus, she has long lived up to her name.
Only she could come up with such a sinister method, simple enough and effective enough.
The riot finally began, with verbal abuse, fighting and some unspeakable things. Initially, it was suppressed in a small area by those who were barely sober, but it soon got out of control. Except for a few servants and guards who did not have the opportunity to drink, the entire camp was in chaos.
After the old eunuch took great pains to find out the reason, he was unusually angry. The escort team was tricked. If the other party had just rushed in and hacked people, the old eunuch would have given him a thumbs up and praised him for being courageous. However, the other party's move was too outrageous. The actual killing power was small, but he lost all his face.
What made the old eunuch even more angry was that the man used aphrodisiacs on his opponent. In the eyes of a eunuch with physical defects, it was hard to say that the other party was not deliberately slandering him.
Zhao Yushu secretly broke into a cold sweat for this hero whose identity he had yet to figure out, and could only pray that he would not be caught by the old eunuch.
However, this was indeed a good opportunity to escape, because the camp was in chaos. The old eunuch was too arrogant at the time. He was the only monk in the entire team, and the servants were ordinary weaklings. There was not even anyone who could suppress the riot.
Unless he wanted to use his spiritual power to shock everyone to death here, otherwise it would be true that even if there were 500 pigs, he would not be able to catch them all in a short time.
The old eunuch's figure kept flashing, and every time he showed up, a disheveled Jinwu Guard would be knocked unconscious by a slap. Judging from his speed, it would take about half an incense stick to solve the problem.
Zhao Yushu hesitated whether to take a gamble and run away with Bujie and the others, but he felt his whole body lighten and his figure slowly disappearing.
At the same time, the old eunuch widened his eyes and looked outside the tent. Zhao Yushu's figure glanced at him, then ran out of the camp and fled south quickly.
Zhao Yushu stood there in a daze. At this moment, as long as he used Madam Xu's trick to hide his spiritual power and casually changed into the attire of a Jinwu Guard, there was a high probability that he would be able to avoid the old eunuch's perception and slip away in the chaos. But now, he had only one thought in his mind.
"Oops!"
