Regardless of Xiao Cheng who went out and headed straight for Yubo Tower, Yuchi Yangyun encountered the biggest challenge in his spy career.
Yuchi Yangyun rushed straight to the kitchen after leaving the room. He rushed in and grabbed Wang Xiaoyu, who was making twice-cooked pork for the group of soldiers. With a head full of sweat, he asked, "What the hell did you put in that? Why can't I even drink a pot of cold tea to reduce the heat?"
"Can't lower it?" Wang Xiaoyu glanced down and realized the situation was quite serious. He was stunned for a moment. "This shouldn't be right." Wang Xiaoyu turned around and shouted, "Song Wusao, how much did you release?"
Mrs. Song Wu was wearing an apron and coarse linen clothes, but she looked neat and tidy. She looked like a capable worker. Although she was over 30 years old, it was said that her husband had been captured and forced to serve as a soldier, and no one knew where he died. She was quite popular among the refugee group where there were more men than women.
However, Song Wusao had seen many miserable situations of women in troubled times and had no intention of remarrying. It just so happened that Lin Hai also needed to recruit a few female agents, otherwise the overseas intelligence station would only have a bunch of bachelors, and they would always have to hire people to do laundry and cook. If outsiders were allowed into the station, something would happen sooner or later. So Song Wusao, who had only come to apply for a cook position at the time, inexplicably became a member of the Intelligence Department's Jinguancheng Intelligence Station.
Mrs. Song Wu walked into the kitchen and took a look. She said, "You mean that soup? We ran out of the medicine we made ourselves a long time ago, and you needed it urgently, but we couldn't go out to buy it. We really had no choice. I made some for breeding cattle, so I gave it to you first. Don't worry, it's safe for humans and it works wonders."
Yuchi Yangyun gritted his teeth and said, "How could I not know whether it was effective or not? You actually put in animal medicine. You... well, how much did you put in?"
Mrs. Song Wu was stunned. "It's for animals to eat. Isn't it normal to use animal medicine? I didn't put much in. I just grabbed two handfuls."
"Hey~~~~" Wang Xiaoyu had to give a thumbs up to Song Wusao and said, "One handful is enough for a cow, and you put two handfuls in the soup. Well, that's courageous." After that, he winked at Yuchi Yangyun, indicating that they should talk outside.
Song Wusao sensed something was wrong and looked around Yuchi Yangyun. Although Yuchi Yangyun had tried his best to hide himself from her, Song Wusao, who was well-informed, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "So it was you, Boss, who ate it. It doesn't seem to have much effect. I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't told me..."
Although Wang Xiaoyu tried his best to recommend Yubo Tower to Yuchi Yangyun, and if that didn't work, any other tower would do, Yuchi Yangyun finally refused, after all, he had a lot of work to do now.
After soaking in a large vat filled with cold water for a long time, Yuchi Yangyun finally felt his sanity gradually returning to his brain, so he called everyone together to prepare for a meeting.
"Boss, you just soaked the water in the kitchen tank." Wang Xiaoyu said.
"I know you can't let me go out in the middle of winter and swim in front of everyone."
"Then this water..."
"You were responsible for putting the medicine in, but you asked Song Wusao to do it. If anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible. But after today's meeting, you will first clean the water tank and fill it with water. If you can't do that, just drink the water in the tank. Drink it all in one gulp, and I can pretend nothing happened."
"Boss, why don't we get down to business first..."
"Old Li just went to Yubo Tower to inquire about it. Come, Old Li, tell me the situation." Yuchi Yangyun certainly knew that business was the most important thing.
"Boss, brothers, I just got back from Yubo Tower. Actually, there's no need to inquire too closely. News of Xiao Cheng's incredible display of power has spread everywhere, and many are now wondering how Captain Xiao became so extraordinary in just two hours. Rumor has it that Captain Xiao used a mysterious dietary supplement, and a wealthy businessman has already offered a hefty price of one hundred taels for it." At this point, Old Li glanced at Wang Xiaoyu and continued, "According to the insider we hired at Yubo Tower, Captain Xiao will be bedridden for at least two days after this battle."
"That means we still have two days to prepare. Is this judgment accurate? Has the message been sent out?" Yuchi Yangyun asked.
"The judgment should be accurate. Our insider has rich experience in this industry, and her judgment should not be wrong. The message was sent out in the afternoon, and it went through a single line." Lao Li replied.
"That's good. But we'll only be here for two days at most. After all, whether Xiao Cheng wants to delay or not, the prefect will tolerate him staying for two more days. After two days, as long as Xiao Cheng can still mount a horse, he will lead the team to set off. I hope the county is ready."
"Boss, Xiao Cheng has taken everyone away. Jinguancheng will become extremely empty. Should we go?" It was Lao Li who asked the question. As the leader of the action team, Lao Li envied his colleagues in Meng Yang. Look at what they do, while he is just a gathering of information and a messenger. Fortunately, Jinguancheng Station is the largest station in the department.
"We've been told not to act rashly. We need Gao Bin to hold the line. Now is not the time for us to show up. But we also have to be prepared. Once Xiao Cheng takes the troops away, it's normal for some public security incidents to occur in Jinguan City, where the city defenses are weak. We need to be prepared to break into the prefectural government."
Hearing this, Old Li became excited: "Boss, do you mean to create some manpower vacancies in the prefectural government?"
"Yes, otherwise they'd always use their own people, which would be too troublesome for us. We've received a strict order from above: before the beginning of next spring, all important positions in the prefectural government must be filled by our people. As long as we don't openly quarrel with them, we can handle some of these radical plans."
"I understand, but why does Governor Gao insist on recruiting people from his hometown?"
