Liu Jing turned around and saw that the person embracing him was a Northern Li man.
The man's face was flushed, and he looked like he had drunk too much. He slurred his words and handed him a wine bowl, saying, "Brother, come on, drink, drink. This wine is pretty good today... come on, drink."
Liu Jing had no choice but to take the bowl and drink the wine, which was very strong.
He sat down with the man and began to pay attention to the topics being discussed by those around him.
Just then, Liu Jing noticed a group of people standing to the side of the government office who were not participating in the revelry, but instead walking out in a calm and orderly manner.
Liu Jing took another gulp of wine, nudged the drunken Bei Li man next to him with his elbow, and asked, reeking of alcohol, "Brother, where are they going?"
The man, drunk and slurring his words, didn't notice that Liu Jing's accent was different from theirs and casually waved his hand.
"These are the brothers from Team Six. It's their turn to be on duty at the Gu Camp today. Never mind them. Come on, let's keep drinking. Tomorrow it'll be Team Seven's turn again, and then we won't be able to drink anymore." After saying that, another bowl of wine was handed over.
Gu camp?
Or is it Guying?
Or perhaps a stock camp? A drum camp?
Was it the Gu he was thinking of?
Liu Jing remained calm, took the bowl, and downed it in one gulp. The man clapped his hands happily, "Good, good, good brother."
Just then, a woman came over to pour them drinks. The man smiled, narrowed his eyes, and pulled the woman over, causing her to gasp in surprise. However, she dared not resist and let his hands do whatever they wanted to her body, her eyes reddening.
Liu Jing couldn't care less about the woman at this moment. He took the opportunity to stand up, gave one of his men a look, and the man also got up. The two of them slowly approached the sixth team and followed at the very back.
Fortunately, the Northern Soldiers all wore the same uniforms, and the whole team numbered around fifty people, so no one noticed the two extra people.
Liu Jing and his companion kept their heads down and followed the group outwards, passing through Liuzhou City and arriving at the gate of a large household in the west of the city.
A plaque with the words "Liu Mansion" hung on the door, and more than ten guards stood in front of the door.
Upon seeing Liu Jing and his group approach, a guard stepped forward to verify the token in the captain's hand before opening the gate of the Liu residence.
The team went straight in, and there were clearly no more people from the Liu family inside; it was all guarded by Northern Li soldiers.
Liu Jing found it very strange. Even if the Liu family mansion was very large, it was still a large courtyard house with many individual rooms inside. Could it really hide demon soldiers?
Or perhaps he really misheard, and the person meant something else entirely.
But since he was already here, he couldn't just leave now, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go along to see what was going on.
The group arrived at a warehouse, and the warehouse guard opened the door.
The warehouse was filled with boxes, but there wasn't much dust.
It must have been the Liu family's storeroom before. Judging from the state of things, the Northern Li people must have emptied the storeroom. The Liu family is probably doomed.
But what are they doing in this empty warehouse?
Then they saw the leader walk to the wall, turn the candlestick on the wall, and a rumbling sound rang out, revealing a secret passage in the floor.
At that moment, Liu Jing instantly realized what was happening.
I see.
Everyone went down the tunnel one by one, and then came a very spacious room, almost a quarter the size of the Liu family mansion.
You should know that the Liu family mansion is a large house with four courtyards. Liu Jing never thought that there was such a large space underneath the Liu family mansion.
Like the storeroom above, this large basement had boxes, cabinets, and display shelves scattered along the walls.
This must be the place where the Liu family used to store gold, silver and other treasures. Now that the Liu family is in the hands of the Northern Li people, the whereabouts of these treasures are self-evident.
Besides these scattered miscellaneous items, Liu Jing also saw what he was looking for.
In the middle of the room stood rows of demonic soldiers, all with their eyes closed and motionless, standing one next to the other.
Looking around, there are at least thousands of them.
