Li Yi: "How is the county government's defense?"
Li Ergou: "There aren't many guards, only a few dozen."
Wang Tianyou: "My identity as a yamen runner in the county government has not been exposed yet. I will go in first today to meet you."
"There are several patrols on the streets, but don't worry. They only patrol once every half hour."
Li Yi nodded and took out a scented substance from his pocket: "This is the key to our army's repeated victories—the Soothing Breeze."
"At midnight, release a gentle breeze from a downwind location; anyone who smells this gentle breeze will fall into a coma."
"At that time, not only were the people in the county government unable to resist, but the soldiers patrolling the streets also lost their fighting ability after smelling it."
"This stuff is colorless and odorless, and not easily detected."
Li Yi handed a copy of the book to Wang Tianyou: "You can release him in the county government office with this copy."
"promise……"
He handed another copy to Li Ergou: "This one will be released when you meet us."
"promise……"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the sound of clattering hooves came from outside.
Everyone quickly held their breath and focused.
Soon, a patrol of cavalry passed by the land temple.
"Damn it, once we kill Jiang Tian, these cavalrymen will be ours."
…………
County government office.
Inside Jiang Tian's room.
Fairy Miaomiao and Qin Hongyu were serving her.
"Young master, let me soak your feet." Fairy Miaomiao knelt before Jiang Tian.
In front of Jiang Tian was a pine wood pitcher. A basin of boiling water was poured into it, and a strong aroma of pine wood quickly wafted out.
Fairy Miao Miao placed her jade-like hands in the water to test them.
The little girl's hands were scalded red.
"Does the young master prefer the water to be hot or cold?"
"It's better if the water is a little hotter." Jiang Tian looked at the pair of twin sisters, who were even more beautiful than Li Xue'er and Li Fei'er.
Especially Qin Hongyu, who had fought on the battlefield for many years, exuded confidence and wildness between her brows.
This confidence and wildness are qualities that the twin sisters, Li Xueer and Li Feier, do not possess.
"From now on, there's no need to arrange foot baths anymore; we can take a hot bath every day."
Fairy Miao Miao nodded.
"Young master, shall we have the new bride serve you tonight?" Qin Hongyu glanced at Jiang Tian, then turned her face away again.
"No need, I'll sleep alone tonight."
Before I could finish speaking, I heard a system notification.
[Ding! General Li Yi, subordinate of Zhang Shicheng, has gained 888 points of rage.]
[Ding, Li Ergou's rage value +555]
[Ding, Wang Tianyou's rage value +666]
[Ding, from...]
Jiang Tian was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
Wang Tianyou was one of his men in the county government.
How did this bastard suddenly contribute a wave of anger points to him in the middle of the night?
The last time someone contributed his rage points in the middle of the night was when they attempted to assassinate him.
Could it be the same this time?
It seems we need to be careful.
"Qin Hongyu..."
The little girl quickly looked up, her face full of anticipation.
"What are your orders, young master?"
Do you know Li Yi?
"Which Li Yi..." Qin Hongyu asked quickly.
"Is there a general named Li Yi under Zhang Shicheng?"
"Yes... This person is exceptionally capable. Although his ability to lead troops is average, Zhang Shicheng has several personal guards, among whom the Shadow Guards are the most deadly."
"Li Yi is the commander of the Shadow Guard."
"He's here."
"What..." Qin Hongyu was somewhat incredulous.
"What I mean is that the man named Li Yi has already brought his men, and they should have already entered the city."
Upon hearing this, Qin Hongyu immediately tensed up: "The Shadow Guards kill without blinking an eye. The people in the county government are no match for them at all."
Upon hearing this, Fairy Miaomiao immediately became anxious: "Sister, what should we do?"
"Gather more manpower."
Jiang Tian heard this but didn't take it seriously.
"Let them in first."
Qin Hongyu anxiously grabbed Jiang Tian's hand: "Young master, you don't know this, the Shadow Guard has a kind of poison called 'Sad Breeze,' which is colorless and odorless."
Once we smell it, we all become powerless and completely at their mercy.
Is there an antidote for this drug?
Qin Hongyu shook her head.
Fairy Miaomiao was even more anxious: "Young master, it's better for me to hide. There's no need to get entangled with them."
"What would happen if they smelled this colorless and odorless poison? Don't they have an antidote?"
"As for whether there is an antidote, I don't know either. When we fought against the enemy in the past, the Shadow Guards would usually release the Sorrowful Breeze."
Ordinary soldiers would need to prepare a large rag, pour water onto it, and cover their mouths and noses to avoid poisoning.
Jiang Tian immediately understood that this thing was not a high-level poison at all.
"Let's play along," Jiang Tian whispered a few words to Fairy Miaomiao and Qin Hongyu.
The two little girls nodded repeatedly.
...
Yelü Hongyan's room.
Ever since Yelü Hongyan was forcibly taken by Jiang Tian, this young girl has developed a strange feeling for Jiang Tian.
This feeling is not hatred.
