"Go that way! Search carefully! That spy won't be able to escape! "
"Put out the fire! Hurry up! Bring water!! "
"Why can't the fire be put out?!"
The camp was in a complete mess. Screams, fire, and hurried footsteps could be heard everywhere. Several singers had been hacked to death by angry soldiers, but no one had cleaned up their bodies. A woman had died with her head raised on a haystack, her eyes wide open. If she could still see, she would have found that the culprit who had caused their tragic deaths was hiding in the haystack under her.
Gong Dai wiped off the makeup on his face slowly, but his eyes were fixed on the search team that was getting closer and closer.
At this time, he was wearing the same black armor as the other party, but his hair was still in a woman's bun. He couldn't move too much, because the armor on his body would make a sound. He couldn't be slow either, because the other party was already in front of him …
Finally, when this group of people came closer, he lowered his body. When he saw that they were scattered to search, he waited for a moment when everyone's line of sight happened to shift, and quickly came out! With a backhand, he stabbed his sword into the body of the woman on the haystack! Blood splattered on his face, and someone looked at him strangely. He laughed, his face covered in blood couldn't be seen clearly.
"I just wanted to see if she was pretending to be dead!"
After that person heard Gong Dai's explanation, he didn't continue to stare at him, minding his own business in the haystack. And just now, if Gong Dai was a second slower, or a second faster, others would have seen him coming out from the haystack. Of course, if that was the case, he also had a way to deal with it …
Just like that, he was extremely daring, and calmly followed the team to search for the person.
There were more than ten thousand soldiers stationed to guard the provisions, but Gong Dai saw a few youths who were the same age as him in the team.
This showed that Lou Ye had put a lot of capital into this war. Even such a small child was banished to the army. It can be seen that the army they were talking about was definitely no less than two hundred thousand. Because they were young and useless, they were sent here as soldiers to escort provisions. Therefore, Gong Jue was very sure that they didn't know much about each other.
But he wouldn't gamble, so the blood on his face and the darkness of the night were his best protection.
After searching for a long time, they couldn't find anything. Someone looked at the burning granary with a sullen face and couldn't help but curse, "Are those people dead? Why wasn't the fire extinguished?! If this goes on, the general will be here soon and none of us will be able to escape! "
Someone whispered, "It's said that wine was used to start the fire …"
"How is that possible? How could the wine catch fire?! "
"It is indeed wine. A few days ago, a songstress gave me a recipe that can make wine very strong! It's especially tasty, and the generals especially like it. They drank to their hearts' content for a few days in a row. Today, all the generals died at the hands of one person … because they were drunk … "
"That's right! I drank that wine yesterday, and it's very strong! The lords are all very happy. Originally, they wanted to use this wine to make a lot of money after returning to the city, but they didn't expect it to become a death sentence for us! "
"Who knew that the wine could actually burn! This is simply unheard of! "
Gong Dai, who was following behind them, also had a miserable look on his face, but he was quickly calculating whether he had missed anything.
His man caught the woman and asked if she wanted to make a deal.
He told her that as long as she could bring him to Lou Ye when she returned to the country, he would tell her a way to make a fortune!
That was distilled wine!
One had to know that Lou Ye and Dai Yu State were the same. Most of the alcohol was fruit wine and rice wine, and the alcohol content was very low. For a man like Lou Ye, who was on horseback, drinking it was like drinking water. Therefore, in Lou Ye, almost everyone would not get drunk after a thousand cups!
But this person said that he had a way to make the wine very strong! If it was true, then it would definitely be very popular in Lou Ye!
The woman's eyes lit up, as if she could see a lot of money rolling in. In the end, she couldn't resist the temptation and agreed because in Lou Ye, a singer could redeem herself. As long as she had enough money, she would no longer be a plaything.
Moreover, she had a plan in mind. If the person in front of her really had a way to improve the wine, she would first trick him and then expose him. If he didn't … then she would directly send him to see the general. No matter what, it would be a great merit!
And Gong Dai was just a little girl, so no matter what she did, she wouldn't be able to do anything!
Yes, Gong Dai was still young, and her eyes were delicate. Moreover, she had changed her voice with her vocal mimicry, so no matter how one looked at her, she was still a girl!
Therefore, the singer sold her body and finally persuaded the manager to allow them to try the method of improving the wine. Gong Dai disguised herself as a singer and used the most basic tools to purify the wine for them.
The distillation method was very simple, but after the distillation, a few ingredients were added by those skillful hands, and the wine immediately became clear and rich. When the manager tasted it, it was as spicy as burning fire, and as soft as a wave of heat. He was immediately overjoyed!
What were they fighting for? Wasn't it for money? With this wine, would they still be afraid of not being able to make a fortune?
Therefore, he hurriedly ordered Gong Dai to prepare more. It would be best if he could purify all the wine in the camp! He prepared to recommend it to the generals at the evening banquet. After all, they took the majority of the profits, so he would still get some soup.
And the amount of wine in the camp was really plentiful! When fighting in the cold weather, wine was the best thing to keep warm, so naturally, there would be no shortage.
Gong Jue agreed, pretending that he couldn't see the calculating eyes of the steward and the singer. Perhaps they had already conspired. As long as he finished steaming the wine, and they were familiar with the process and techniques, they would take him to the garrison!
It was a pity that wealth blinded the eyes, and wealth came from danger. Moreover, they were watching closely, so what could this person do?
As expected, Gong Dai didn't do anything. He obediently purified the dozen or so jars of wine and watched them move the wine back to the heavily guarded granary. Gong Dai smiled slightly. After two days of observation, every night, a bonfire would be lit around the granary. Not only did it raise the temperature and ensure that the food was dry, it also prevented people from sneaking in under the cover of darkness …
Therefore, all of this was so logical and logical.
Gong Dai looked at the firelight. His black jade-like eyes were as dark as an abyss, as if they could suck people in.
Sure enough, after two days of this wine's popularity, the manager and the singer had also figured out all the techniques of distilling wine. When the general heard the manager's tip-off, he smiled coldly and waved his hand in a daze. He wanted to see this person who seemed to be a spy but had brought them wealth. And it was said that it was a girl?
The main tent was always filled with singing and dancing, especially at night. It was as if they were not here to fight, but to celebrate. But ever since Gong Dai's wine, they were intoxicated and didn't know what was going on in the world.
When they entered the tent, it was already past thirty. The generals in the main tent were all swaying left and right. They didn't even take this little girl, who was suspected of being a spy, seriously.
The general in charge of the defense stretched out his hand to Gong Dai. Gong Dai raised his head and smiled sweetly. The moment his stunning face was illuminated by the firelight, several people's eyes were fixed on him …
But very soon, it was an assassination attempt that caused a complete mess!
Gong Dai alone killed three of the generals guarding here and released a signal flare. Eight men of sacrifice attacked from a direction. The soldiers stationed here didn't know how many people came. They only knew that there was a deafening battle cry and a signal flare. They didn't know if there was an army lying in ambush nearby!
The entire camp gradually panicked. Everyone was approaching one place. Gong Dai took advantage of the chaos to kill his way to the granary, broke the wine vat, and set it on fire!
The wine ignited as soon as it came into contact with the fire. Before the guards could recover from their shock, the fire was already out of control. Even water couldn't extinguish it!
The granary, which was enough to feed an army of two hundred thousand for a month, was instantly surrounded by flames. He was alone, and easily turned an imminent sneak attack into a false illusion! The camp of more than ten thousand people was in chaos because of him! And the culprit was taking advantage of the chaos. That calm and unruffled was something that even a slightly weaker person wouldn't be able to do!
Could it be that they had encountered a ghost?!
She was just a singer. Where could she hide?
