Chapter 736 Young General vs. Rich Lady 39
At night, Pingyang City was under curfew, and even the number of patrolling Huo family soldiers decreased significantly.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The gongs and drums of the midnight watch had already been struck three times. The last group of Huo's soldiers withdrew, and the leading team leader was yawning and feeling sleepy.
"I don't think we need to patrol anymore. Who would come out in the middle of the night? The Major General manages Pingyang City with military discipline. No one dares to act recklessly. We brothers have been guarding for so many days and haven't even seen a mouse. Why don't we all take a break tonight?"
"Yes, yes, yes. We have to train during the day and build the wall. We also have to take turns patrolling at night. I am so tired. I can finally get a good sleep tonight."
"If you don't tell me, and I don't tell you, the Major General won't know that we've been lazy. Nothing will happen. Those on patrol will get extra meals. Let's go back and eat some meat and drink some Coke!"
The kerosene at the warehouse door was extinguished, and the Huo family soldiers on the lookout tower were also dozing off. A dark shadow was lying in the dry ditch, hiding his figure, waiting for the patrolling Huo family soldiers to leave. He got up and ran away very quickly.
In an abandoned house one kilometer away, it was dark and a few people gathered together. On the table was a map of Pingyang City. The map was drawn very roughly, but one could barely see the layout of Pingyang City, marking important locations such as granaries, military camps, general's mansions, and even some secret tunnels.
They didn't dare to light the lamp. With the moonlight outside the window, Guo Qing lowered his voice and said, "Wang the Shorty has found out that the Huo family army is exhausted after defending for these days. They have all gone to rest. Now is the best time for us to take action!"
The one-eyed man was missing one eye, with no cover on his face, leaving his dark eye socket exposed. He looked particularly terrifying. His voice was also hoarse and unpleasant, like the friction of rough sand, which was particularly creepy in the silent night.
"We'd better be cautious. What if it's a trap? The whole city is saying that the Huo family army has the help of gods, and the food comes out of thin air. If there really is something supernatural, I'd rather not do this!"
Guo Qing moved a little further away from the one-eyed dragon without leaving a trace. The one-eyed dragon himself looked like a ghost and was much scarier than the elusive gods and ghosts.
If there were not a shortage of manpower and the one-eyed dragon wanted a small share, he would not have cooperated with the one-eyed dragon.
Guo Qing had killed people, eaten human flesh, and traded human flesh. He only believed in his own fists and never believed in ghosts or gods. He sneered, "It's just a trick that Huo Xiao came up with to fool people. He has no guts and can't control Pingyang City, so he deliberately pretends to be a ghost."
"He was lucky last time and suppressed the people who were rebellious, otherwise I would have seized the food long ago. Fortunately, it is not too late now. The drought is still continuing. Even in Lu, rice can be sold at a high price!"
"I guess the food was transported in through a secret passage. Only Huo Xiao knows where the secret passage is, so he can use the food to control Pingyang City and make the people in Pingyang City work for him! He seems generous, but maybe the food he sent out will be taken back immediately. He is just trying to make himself look rich and stabilize the situation in Pingyang City."
"Even if it's a trap, we can still get a batch of food by force and sell it outside. We won't have to worry about not having a market. After doing this, we won't have to worry about the rest of our lives."
"One-eyed dragon, if you're scared, get out of here and don't delay my fortune!"
The one-eyed man licked his lips and finally made up his mind, "Fuck him!"
The group quietly approached the granary under the cover of night. They did not encounter any patrolling Huo's army along the way and had no obstructions.
They were lying in ambush in a dry ditch, with hundreds of people lying densely packed there. If you looked carefully, you could find something wrong, but the people on the lookout tower were sleeping soundly leaning against the pillars and didn't even look over here.
Guo Qing was delighted that he would be able to grab the food soon, but he acted very cautiously.
"There is a dog hole next to the granary. Wang the Shorty, you sneak in and open the door from the inside. We brothers will go in and move the grain out. Try not to alert the Huo family army. Just grab the grain and leave."
The dog hole was very small and an adult could not get in at all, but Wang Aizi was a dwarf and crawled in quickly.
Guo Qing waited and waited, but there was still no movement in the granary.
The one-eyed man lay in the ditch, his legs bitten and itchy, even mosquitoes crawling into his eye sockets. He said impatiently: "Is it going to work? I knew that the dwarf was unreliable. He won't get lost in the granary, will he?"
"Let my people come. Gouzi, go and kill the man in the lookout! If we brothers just go in, we won't have to worry about alerting the Huo family army."
The dog was tall and thin, and very agile. It climbed up to the lookout tower in a few steps and knocked the person on the tower to the ground with one move.
The dog didn't get up for a long time, and the lookout tower was quiet, without a single sound.
The one-eyed man didn't dare to shout loudly, so he sent a man over, but he also fell to the ground and was motionless.
"This is outrageous! If one more person goes, I don't believe that we can't defeat the Huo family army who is dozing off!"
The guys looked at each other, pushed and shoved each other, and no one was willing to go over.
"Boss, why don't we go together? This place is not clean, and more people will bring more yang energy."
With a creak, the door opened.
A figure emerged from the darkness. It was Wang the Dwarf.
Guo Qing was overjoyed, "My people are still better. According to what we agreed before, I will get 70% and you will get 30%. I want to get the majority."
"Brothers, grab your weapons and rush in. We have a lot of wealth right in front of us. I have already inquired about it. There is a carriage in the backyard. Let's use the carriage to load the loot and take as much as we can. We are going to be rich!"
A group of people rushed into the warehouse. There was a yard at the entrance and stone houses all around. There must be some delicious rice inside.
Shorty Wang was delighted. “This place is really huge! It’s just a small dot on the map, but who knew the roads inside were so complicated? I crawled in through the dog hole on the side and almost got lost. I ended up in a dead end several times.”
"Then I discovered a few secret doors that were not tightly closed, which led me here by groping. I finally found the right place and opened the door."
Guo Qing laughed loudly, "Each generation is worse than the last! How could the Huo family army be so lazy when Huo Yuanyi was here? Huo Xiao, that young brat, can't even manage his subordinates well, he's worse than me!"
"A piece of trash like this will definitely not be able to defeat the Northern Rong. When the Northern Rong attack the city, everyone will die. After grabbing the food, I will take my brothers and escape. Only a fool will stay here and wait to die!"
Guo Qing strode forward, opened the door of the granary, and shouted: "Brothers! Grab the grain..."
The cheers were stuck in his throat. After his brain reacted, his body had already dodged backwards and barely avoided the knife.
Torches were lit all around, the door of the stone house opened from the inside, and a large number of Huo's soldiers poured out.
There was no shelter in the yard, and Guo Qing and others were trapped, with no way to escape.
Huo Xiao held up his sword and sneered, "You dodge pretty quickly! Capture them all. If there is resistance, kill them!"
