Half an hour later.
The snow was a mess.
Several barbarian cavalrymen fell in a pool of blood, their eyes full of fear before they died.
"Take all their clothes off."
"When it gets dark, we'll go back the same way."
The others immediately understood what Xia He meant.
"Brother He, are we going to sneak in?"
"Why, afraid of death?"
"Of course I'm not afraid, Brother He, I'll do whatever you say!"
"If we can burn the food and fodder and cut off the barbarians' food and fodder, what a great achievement this will be, I don't need to explain it any further, right?"
Everyone looked excited and nodded.
As the sky gradually darkened, Xia He, Er Pang and Ming San, who had already put on the barbarian costumes and covered their faces with scarves, put their scimitars on their waists, mounted their horses, and gradually approached the camp.
"Hey, what are you doing? Scout... why did you come back just now?"
Xia He's heart tightened, he quickly got off the horse and grasped the dagger at his waist.
Erpang and Mingsan behind him also tensed up, with their eyes flashing with ferocity, ready to kill at any time.
“Brother…Brother!”
The barbarian came over drunkenly, and sprayed alcohol on Xia He's face.
"What are you still standing there for? Drink...why don't you drink?"
Xia He breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be a drunkard. He quickly put on a smile:
"How can that be possible? I'm just... I'm just afraid of drinking too much and causing trouble."
"What's the mistake?"
Tuoba Xiong put his arm around Xia He's shoulders.
"Today is... it is the Barbarian God Festival! With the Barbarian God's blessing, we... we are invincible!"
Xia He was embraced by the barbarian and followed him to the center of the camp.
Erpang and Mingsan looked at each other and had no choice but to follow.
In the center of the camp, flames shot up into the sky. A dozen barbarian wizards danced strangely around the statue, muttering something.
The statue is three meters tall, pitch black, with a ferocious face and curved horns on its head.
"Is that...the statue of the barbarian god?" Xia He asked in a low voice.
“That’s right!”
Tuoba Xiong burped: "This is... it is carved from thousand-year-old ironwood! I heard... I heard it took three whole years to carve it!"
Xia He narrowed his eyes and looked at the statue carefully. Suddenly, he noticed that there was a pile of hay and firewood under the statue base, which was obviously prepared to be burned at the end of the sacrifice.
A thought flashed through Xia He's mind.
"brother,"
He leaned close to Tuoba Xiong's ear,
"I heard... I heard that offering wine at the Barbarian God Festival can gain the Barbarian God's special blessing?"
Tuoba Xiong's eyes lit up: "Really...really?!"
Xia He took off the wine bag from his waist and said, "I have some excellent mare's milk wine here, why don't we go and offer the wine?"
"Okay! Okay!" Tuoba Xiong excitedly pulled Xia He towards the statue.
Erpang and Mingsan were stunned and felt a little tingling on their scalps.
Is this barbarian blind?
However, it was already dark when this happened, and the barbarians around were all drunk.
If not, they would have been discovered long ago!
But Xia He secretly winked at them, and the two of them understood and slowly moved behind the statue.
Xia He was pulled by Tuoba Xiong to the front of the statue, where an old wizard dressed in animal skins was chanting with his eyes closed.
Tuoba Xiong shouted with his tongue sticking out: "Great...Great Wizard! Let's...let's offer wine!"
The old wizard said nothing, as if he was in a trance.
After a while, he finally spoke: "Those who offer wine need to drink three bowls to show their sincerity."
Xia He poured out three bowls of wine. Tuoba Xiong grabbed one and drank it all: "It's great!"
Xia He also pretended to lift his face cloth and prepared to drink a bowl of wine, secretly pouring the remaining wine on the hay under the base of the statue.
At this moment, the old wizard suddenly raised his staff and shouted: "The Barbarian God is coming!"
Xia He sneered. He could see that this so-called wizard was just an ordinary person.
But Tuoba Xiong looked at him with great awe in his eyes.
Xia He supported Tuoba Xiong and said with pretended concern:
"Brother, you've had too much to drink. I'll take you back to rest."
Tuoba Xiong muttered in a daze:
"No...I didn't drink too much...I can still drink..."
Xia He secretly used his internal strength and gently slapped Tuoba Xiong on the back of his head.
Tuoba Xiong's body softened and he collapsed directly onto Xia He's shoulder.
"Looks like he's really drunk." Xia He shook his head helplessly and shouted to the barbarians who were watching the fun.
"I'll send him back to rest, you guys continue drinking!"
The barbarians laughed loudly, not paying any attention to Xia He's strange accent, and continued to sing and dance around the statue.
Xia He supported Tuoba Xiong and slowly walked to the edge of the camp.
When passing by a large tent, he suddenly heard a roar from inside:
"Why should my Canglang tribe be asked to guard the food supplies? I, Tuoba Lie, am here to fight the enemy!"
Xia He had an idea and quietly approached the tent.
Through the gap in the curtain, he saw a red-haired muscular man with a naked upper body, holding a wine bowl and roaring loudly.
The sturdy man was muscular, with a ferocious wolf head tattooed on his chest and red eyes. It was obvious that he had drunk a lot of alcohol.
"Chief, calm down!" a general advised.
"Those guys from the Iron Hoof and Blood Axe tribes are clearly jealous of our Canglang tribe's reputation and deliberately left us behind."
"fart!"
Tuoba Lie smashed the wine bowl.
"I, Tuoba Lie, want to make a name for myself on the battlefield, not be a watchdog!"
Another general also said angrily:
"Chief, how about... we secretly take people out to kill them? Anyway, those Qin insects don't know that we have hidden the food here! Nothing will go wrong."
A fierce light flashed in Tuoba Lie's eyes:
"Okay! Let's do it! Take some people out tonight and kill him!"
Tuoba Lie is worthy of being the leader of the Canglang tribe. Just sitting there, he gives people a sense of oppression like a ferocious beast.
Xia He could feel that the other party's aura was astonishing. He was at least a master at the Refining Organs realm.
At this moment, Tuoba Lie suddenly turned his head and looked at the door of the tent, and shouted:
“Someone outside!”
Xia He's heart trembled, but he immediately heard,
"Hurry up and bring me some wine."
As he spoke, an empty wine bottle was thrown out and the three of them quickly dodged it.
"liquor……"
"Tonight went better than I thought."
A smile appeared on Xia He's lips.
If the Canglang tribe goes out to kill people, the food and grass here will definitely be left unguarded. Just seize the opportunity.
Tuoba Lie waited for a long time, but the wine had not been served yet, so he walked out of the tent angrily.
The scene outside made him even more annoyed: several soldiers on guard duty were lying on the ground, snoring loudly.
"A bunch of rubbish!" Tuoba Lie kicked a soldier awake.
"Go, wake everyone up! Get weapons and prepare horses!"
The soldier got up in a daze:
"Chief...what are you doing?"
"What?" Tuoba Lie sneered.
"Of course I'm going to kill people! Do you want to be a watchdog here?"
Soon, the whole camp was in turmoil. The drunken soldiers were scrambling to find horses, and some even put the saddle on the wrong way.
