Shao Xuan hid in the wine house for four days. In these four days, he also learned a lot from the three slaves of the wine house. The three people who were close to the City Lord Palace and had a little bit of power naturally knew more than the lower slaves.
Shortly after returning from the Beast City, Snowfield City went to war with the Fire Hill City. The slaves who were chasing the tribesmen were also called back to participate in the war, but the number of defeats was relatively high. Occasionally, when they were about to win, the people of Rock Hill City stepped in and reversed the situation. Snowfield City was once again defeated.
In about twenty days, the number of people in Snowfield City had been reduced by more than a third. This was only a rough estimate. The specific number would only increase. However, for the slave owners, the lives of the slaves were not lives. If they were less, they could make up for it later. The important thing was to reverse the situation now.
"I heard that the king's lost things have still not been found." A slave lowered his voice.
"It is said that the people of the Fire Hill City stole it. Maybe there are people of Rock Hill City involved in this."
"Hey, when will this war stop? I don't want to go to war. "The slave who had been silent sighed.
If this continued, the three of them would be transferred. Now the situation was getting more and more serious. Defeat after defeat made the Snowfield King lose face. His anger soared every day. Because of the Snowfield King's anger, it was not known how many slaves were killed. Every day, slaves could be seen being carried out of the palace.
Just then, someone came to look for them outside.
The faces of the three slaves tightened, fearing that it was an order to let them participate in the war. However, when they came back in after a while, their expressions were much more relaxed.
"It turned out to be wine, ah. Scared me …"
"Tomorrow, send the rest of the wine to the palace. No, I have to drink it quickly. After sending it away, I won't be able to drink it. If I want to drink again, I don't know when I'll have to wait."
The person who had just passed the message asked them to send the rest of the wine to the palace tomorrow. The king wanted to reward the palace guards with this wine.
"The palace guards are good. I heard that they can eat and drink a lot of good things."
"It's good, but recently, a lot of people have been killed by the king." There were also many guards who died because of anger, which made the guards more or less have some other thoughts in their hearts. The Snowfield King ordered the people in the wine house to send the rest of the wine to the palace in order to appease the guards' hearts.
As the three of them drank and chatted, Shao Xuan, who was hiding in the utility room, also had an idea. He had been waiting for an opportunity all this time, and this time, it was worth a try. If he missed it, who knew how long he would have to wait?
Before nightfall, the three slaves put all the large and small jars of wine into two large wooden boxes. Because they had drunk some privately, several jars of wine were mixed with other things because the wine was not enough. Anyway, these wines were given to other slaves, so there was no need to pay much attention to them.
After loading the wine, the three slaves went to sleep. Shao Xuan took advantage of the time when they were sleeping to add something to their room so that they could sleep more soundly. Fortunately, in order to sneak into Snowfield City, Shao Xuan had prepared a lot of desert medicinal plants along the way.
When the three people fell asleep and made some movements, they did not respond at all. Shao Xuan went to the box of wine and took out the wine placed inside. He cut a wooden board of the utility room into a suitable size and put it in the big box of wine. He felt that it was good.
The wine jars were placed on the wooden board. Shao Xuan stood in the wooden box and then steadily lifted the wooden board with the wine. This thing was nothing to Shao Xuan. It was much lighter than the stones he used to lift.
He slowly lowered his body and used his hands and feet to carefully hold the wooden board with the wine jars and slowly put it down.
After hiding the wooden board and the wine jars, Shao Xuan moved his fingers. The sound of the silk thread flicking was heard and the lid of the wooden box was accurately closed.
Taking back the silk thread, Shao Xuan took a little rest and waited for tomorrow to come.
The next day, the three slaves were still sleeping. Because of Shao Xuan's addition, the three people not only slept deeply but also woke up later than usual. So when the people carrying the wine came, the three slaves in the wine house were still sleeping.
Some of the slaves carrying the wine were palace guards. It was rare to hear that the king wanted to reward them with something. Naturally, they were very active and specially brought people to carry it. Seeing that the three people in the wine house were still sleeping, they kicked the door open and rudely woke the three people up. Regardless of the confused and absent-minded three people, they went directly to the place where the wine was stored. When they saw that the two big boxes had been packed, they were satisfied. They opened the lid and looked inside, complaining that there was not enough wine. They dug out all the wine hidden by the three people in the wine house and threw it all into the wooden box. When the wooden box was full, they held it by themselves.
When the guards took the wooden box away, Shao Xuan could not see the expressions of the three people in the wine house. But when he thought about it, he knew that the three people must be cursing in their hearts. It was not easy to hide a little, but it was all taken away.
Because it was the palace guards who carried the wine, the guards at the gate of the palace did not check it strictly. They also talked and laughed with the people who carried the wine, discussing when the wine would be distributed.
The wooden box was carried to the cargo room. Although the slaves guarding it were eager, they also knew that the reward had to be arranged by the slave owners. If they privately divided it, they would be scolded. They only secretly took two small bottles of wine from the box and hid them in their clothes before leaving.
When the people carrying the wine left, Shao Xuan listened to the movements outside. There was no one around, so he came out of the box.
It was quite difficult to quietly come out from under the box piled with wine jars. Fortunately, Shao Xuan's strength was great and he was stable. If it was replaced by a weaker person with poor balance, it would be impossible.
When he came out, a bottle almost fell to the ground. Shao Xuan quickly used his foot to cushion the fall and let the bottle land safely without making a big sound.
Although it did not take much time to come out of the wooden box, the difficulty factor was high. After completing it, Shao Xuan was sweating.
Putting the wooden board in an inconspicuous corner, he put the bottle back into the wooden box and closed the lid. Shao Xuan waited until there were no guards outside before he slipped out.
The palace in Snowfield City was larger than the one in Luoye City. Shao Xuan was not clear about the layout here. He just walked and hid, avoiding the patrolling slaves. For those places with layers of guards, Shao Xuan also temporarily avoided them. Those places should be where the slave owners were.
Looking at the layout of the palace, there were basically only a few places that were heavily guarded. Other places were only guarded by a small number of slaves. They were also very loose, with low morale and no spirit.
In the place with few guards, Shao Xuan looked for a small circle. He heard two young men and women whispering about the stone room where the notes were hidden. Shao Xuan quietly followed them.
The two were not husband and wife, but they behaved intimately. They did not let the slaves follow them and went to the stone room where the notes were placed.
Here, it should be a place similar to a bookstore. There were three slaves at the door of the stone room. Two of them were relatively young, and the other was very old and blind.
"Second Young Master!" The three people respectfully saluted.
The man called the Second Young Master waved his hand and pointed to the blind old man. "You stay, the others go."
The three slaves seemed to have known this would happen. They did not need the Second Young Master to say more. The other two hurriedly left, leaving only the blind old slave to follow the man and woman into a room next to the stone room.
