Chapter 201 Everything is Ready
Isn’t Wen Chengyun fishing for his big fish? Why does he have his own things to do here?
"My Lord, the princess has arrived. I will go ahead and keep an eye on her."
After Wu Qi put Cheng Weiyao down, he turned and tactfully left. He was initially puzzled when he heard that the princess's assistance was needed. But since the master had given such an order, he must have had his own considerations.
"Madam, this is an emergency, and I need your help."
Wen Chengyun was originally observing the situation below from above the canyon, and only reluctantly withdrew after confirming that Cheng Weiyao had arrived.
The route Yelu Ye provided closely matched the fragments of information Wen Chengyun had gathered from the soldiers. This indicated the source of the information was accurate, and the key to the successful implementation of the "transplantation" plan lay in Cheng Weiyao.
Wen Chengyun's plan was to use Cheng Weiyao's space to intercept the real military rations and salaries in Liao Yu's hands, and then use the fake rations and salaries that had already been secretly replaced to provoke a fight between Liao Yu and Yelu Rong.
"I can indeed empty the military rations and salaries from the vehicle in an instant, but if the distance is too far, I can't take things from a distance."
After hearing the plan, Cheng Weiyao paused for a moment. The fake food and wages had already been prepared and piled aside. With a flick of her mind, she moved them all into the QQ Farm warehouse.
It is theoretically feasible to replace the original with the fake one, but I am far above the canyon, and it is impossible to frame the transport vehicle on the Beirong side from such a long distance, unless I can sneak into Liao Yu's army and get close to them.
"I know, so I hope Madam will accompany me into the depths of the Tiger Cave later. I will definitely do my best to ensure Madam's safety!"
From the previous theft in Zhang Daming’s mansion, Wen Chengyun also had a certain understanding of Cheng Weiyao’s spatial ability.
As a fireman, he was responsible for loading and unloading food and fodder, so bringing a disguised Cheng Weiyao with him was no problem at all. Furthermore, Liao Yu's barracks had recently expanded, and with many new faces, the chances of success would be even greater.
Cheng Weiyao nodded without hesitation, guessing that Wen Chengyun had included her in his plan. Did this mean that he trusted her?
After getting approval, Wen Chengyun's eyes became more determined. He stretched out his hand to measure the wind direction, and it turned out to be a southwest wind today.
Once the wind blows, the canyon will be filled with smoke and dust, and that will be the best time for Cheng Weiyao to take action!
Cheng Weiyao repeatedly practiced how to quickly store and retrieve items from the warehouse. After confirming that there was no pause at all, she changed into the uniform of a fireman.
When they returned to the military camp, they were just loading and unloading military rations and salaries. Cheng Weiyao kept her head down and followed Wen Chengyun closely.
"Everyone, be careful and check if there are any holes in the sacks. Otherwise, if food leaks out along the way, you won't even know it's going to go to waste!"
Because the food and fodder were to be sold to the Northern Rong, it was usually supervised by trusted aides like Lieutenant General Li.
Out of caution, the transport team he assembled this time consisted of entirely new recruits except for his own people.
First, to get these new recruits involved, so they could personally participate. Once on board, they would all be one family. Second, it would be easy to kill any who didn't know what was good for them. After all, they were just improvised soldiers, and their military status hadn't been reported to the court yet...
Although Cheng Weiyao is quite tall among women, she is not very tall among men.
Lieutenant General Li's gaze paused on Cheng Weiyao, his brows furrowed slightly. "You're recruiting someone this small? As a mascot?"
Cheng Weiyao's body stiffened slightly, but Wen Chengyun reacted quickly and pushed her back. He smiled and replied to Lieutenant General Li, "Lieutenant General, we are the Fire Department. We didn't specify any requirements when we recruited them."
"Okay. Hurry up and don't delay. We have to leave on time!"
Lieutenant General Li glanced at Wen Chengyun, who looked a little thin, and rolled his eyes silently. The man who spoke was not very good either, like a skinny monkey.
The ordinary soldiers had no idea that this would lead to the muddy water of treason. Once they received the order from their superiors, they put all their efforts into the work and finished it. In less than half an incense stick of time, all the food had been loaded onto the trucks.
Cheng Weiyao originally planned to replace them all while loading the truck, but then she thought that the Beirong people were probably not fools.
The goods will definitely be inspected during the formal transaction. If fake grain is discovered during the sampling survey, the plan will be ruined. We should just wait and see.
Liao Yu and others prepared food, while Yelu Rong naturally prepared real gold and silver. Of course, since they were purchasing military rations, the price was naturally much lower than the ordinary food price.
The two convoys soon met in the canyon. Wu Qi led his men above the canyon, ready to cause chaos at any time. Although the plan said that there would be a strong wind in the canyon today, a second backup plan was made in order to prepare for the emergency.
The reason why Yelu Ye had inquired about the route map was also for a second backup plan. If the southwest wind didn't arrive as expected, then they could artificially create falling rocks and smoke!
"Deputy General Li, how are you? As usual, we'll inspect the goods first and then trade. It's good for you, me, and everyone else."
When the Northern Rong people saw Lieutenant General Li, they reined in their horses and bowed, looking like smiling Buddhas.
"You're welcome. No need to waste time. Old price, old rules. Please inspect the goods on your own."
Lieutenant General Li raised his hand to signal the troops behind him to stop. When the newly arrived soldiers heard the two men's skillful tone, their hearts began to beat fast. Why didn't this look like a simple transport mission...
Under the command of their respective leaders, the soldiers on both sides concentrated the transport vehicles on their respective sides. One side was filled with rice bags, while the other side was shining with gold and silver.
Cheng Weiyao stared at the boxes on the Beirong side without blinking. Although the Beirong people didn't have much food, they were quite wealthy. No wonder Liao Yu and his group were so keen on reselling military rations.
Not only did he embezzle the court's military pay, but he could also make some extra money from the northern barbarians. This was indeed much richer than being a general.
"Okay, then we have a happy cooperation!"
Seeing that the transport convoys on both sides were about to exchange, and the southwest wind had not yet blown up, Wu Qiyi raised his hand and signaled his men to start pushing the fallen rocks to the bottom of the canyon.
Just as the rocks were falling, a southwest wind came, and the canyon was suddenly filled with smoke and dust. The horses were frightened, and everyone subconsciously began to stick to the cliff wall of the valley.
On the contrary, the transport convoy was placed in the middle with no one paying attention to it. After all, those were inanimate objects and would not turn into bloody messes if smashed.
People should prioritize self-protection...
