471: It's the New Year
Not only is Li Shu not optimistic about the peace talks, but even Pei Ye's diving parties are not optimistic.
Ling Chao was so angry that he bombarded the group with emojis, and the bombs that swiped the screen made people's eyes hurt.
"Peace talks? β
Lang Hao reminded: "The gentleman does not speak vulgar words. β
After a pause, he sent another message, then quickly retracted.
"I don't even talk to them, just hit them. β
Everyone looked at the prompt of "Lang Hao withdrew a message" and fell into deep thought.
Pei Ye stood on the tuyere and smoked a cigarette, and the faint smell of tobacco wafted into the tip of the young man's nose, and she said: "It's very simple to let Chaoxia extinguish the peace talks, and make things happen, so that Yan Huoluo will hate Chaoxia to the bone, and when we don't consider the choice of peace talks, we will succeed." β
Ling Chao's eyes lit up, this method was simple, crude and effective.
It can not only dispel the big dream of the Spring and Autumn Festival of the group of "peace talks", but also make contributions and leave a name in history.
The young man in red felt excited when he thought about it, as if a blazing flame was burning in his chest.
"Mr. Pei is right, we should do this!"
Pei Ye snuffed out the cigarette butt and threw it on the ground, then crushed it with his toes, and turned over on the horse's back again.
She said to Lang Hao and the others with a rolled horsewhip: "Take advantage of the momentum, continue to hurry." β
The energetic young man in red suddenly howled, like a wilted flower bone, hanging his head.
The group of three soon approached the warring border between the two countries.
In order not to reveal their identities, they simply disguised themselves as the three brothers and sisters who fled, and the war horses were also sold and replaced with dilapidated carriages.
"These people even stripped the dead bodies of their clothes...... It's good to leave someone with some dignity after death......"
Ling Chao and Lang Hao sat outside and drove away, and from time to time there were malicious glances skimming over the carriage, as if looking at a fat sheep. Ling Chao and the others were naΓ―ve at first, they would stop the carriage and give some dry food to the begging refugees, but when they found that the other refugees had gathered to rob them, they had to wave the whip at the refugees, scaring them all away, and they themselves were sweating.
Pei Ye is the youngest of the three on the surface, and he is also the most calm.
Whether it was the refugees gathering and looting or picking up the rags from the dead bodies, it seemed that she could not arouse her empathy.
"Do you think the dead or the living are more important?"
Ling Chao said: "This, this...... People cannot be resurrected after death, so it is naturally more important to be alive. β
Pei Ye said again: "So the decency of the dead is not to be taken into account. β
The clothes of the living are not yet able to keep out the cold, so is there anything wrong with them stripping off the clothes of the dead bodies on the side of the road?
Ling Chao frowned slightly.
The truth is this, but thinking about the tragic situation of the corpses on the side of the road that no one has to claim, he is still a little embarrassed and uncomfortable.
It would be great if we could create a prosperous and peaceful world, and the people could live a stable life, and there would be no such tragic situation.
At leastβ
At least don't let this kind of suffering befall Chaoxia, and don't let the people of Chaoxia bear it.
Pei Ye's calm and indifferent gaze fell on the end of the horizon.
"You're young, it's your weakness and your strength, you have more time to create a better situation," she said. β
Lang Hao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
Ling Chao didn't understand the deep meaning.
He smiled while driving: "Of course the master will do it." β
After another two days of rapid travel, he finally arrived at the destination that Li Shu had circled.
Ling Chao and the others were so tired that their bones were about to fall apart, and their skin was darker by more than one degree, and they looked even thinner.
However, they were in excellent spirits, and they couldn't wait to fight with Yan Huoluo's baggage convoy.
Pei Ye silently took out a large plate of firecrackers from his sleeve.
Two: "......"
Ling Chao couldn't help but complain: "How can such a big thing fit into your sleeves, your disguise is too careless." β
Translated, it's taking off your pants and farting, and that's more.
Ling Chao had been abused by Pei Ye's string of bamboo leaves for so many years, and he had long known that Pei Ye was not a mortal.
Is it strange that people who can drive bamboo leaves to do things will have a little method of taking things out of the air and having everything in their sleeves?
Not surprising at all.
But what Ling Chao couldn't bear was that Pei Ye liked to take out all kinds of snack gadgets from his sleeve.
Lang Hao also said: "We are not blind. β
At present, he has met King Rong, a blind man, and Pei Ye's method of fooling people has deceived King Rong.
Pei ** straightened his chest and said: "What do you two children know, the Qiankun in the sleeve is the Qiankun in the sleeve, where does the Qiankun come from without the sleeve." β
It's not like she has to pick up her sleeves to fool people.
This was said righteously and strictly, and Ling Chao and the others almost believed it.
"And what's this red thing?"
Ling Chao picked up the big red plate firecracker that was rolled up, sniffed it, and smelled a little sulfur.
Pei Ye said: "Firecrackers, lighting will crackle, a festive picture." β
Firecrackers?
Ling Chao has played with firecrackers, but firecrackers are completely different from the firecrackers on the group emojis.
The essence of firecrackers is more in bamboo than gunpowder.
"Can I play?"
Ling Chao suddenly forgot about anything else, holding the big red firecrackers and not letting go.
Pei Ye said angrily: "After this shot, go back and let Ji Cang accompany you to play whatever you want." β
Lang Hao: "......"
"Just messing them up with firecrackers?"
Lang Hao watched Pei Ye move out one plate after another of oversized red firecrackers, and suddenly felt that the success rate of the plan was cut in half.
Pei Ye said: "Of course it's not all, if we have enough time, we can arrange enough cattle and horses to let them carry the flammable materials on fire to attack Yan Huoluo's army of baggage and grain." It doesn't take too much, maybe a thousand heads. But there are only three of us, and we can't get so many cattle and horses, so this plan is not feasible. But there are also advantages of fewer people, and it is not easy for us to be exposed when we act. β
She pointed to the pile of firecrackers with her long fingers.
"Three people, that's enough. These firecrackers were loud enough to explode at their feet, and the sound was enough to scare the heart. Not to mention the men who carry the grain, even the soldiers who escort them will not be able to react. At this time, if a fire is ignited again, the purpose of burning grain will be achieved. β
Lang Hao frowned and said, "These firecrackers can really ignite all the grain and grass?"
Pei Ye said: "Naturally, it is not dependent on them to ignite the fire. β
As she spoke, she took out a large white vat half a person tall as if she were moving, and the liquid in the bucket smelled a little pungent and yellowish in color.
"What are these?"
Pei Ye smiled and said, "Oil, something that can be used with a little bit." β
Lang Hao said: "It can also burn at a point, and the smell is not big, and it is much easier to use than black oil." β
The color of the black oil is mixed, and it is easy to be seen when the sky is a little brighter, and the smell cannot be concealed.
The oil that Pei Ye brought out was easy to use, and it was not easy to be discovered by the enemy.
Ling Chao asked a stupid question.
"Li Junshi estimated three paths, and all three are possible. We don't know which way they go, so what if they don't?"
Isn't their arrangement in vain?
Pei Ye rolled his eyes and said, "If they don't go here, we will set off firecrackers for a day tomorrow." β
Ling Chao trembled subconsciously when he heard this.
Pei Ye added: "Tear your clothes and use them as a fire." β
Ling Chao immediately made a gesture of shutting up, and grabbed his collar by the way.
"Go ahead, they'll come. β
In terms of the strength of gathering intelligence, no one can compare with her.
Ling Chao and the others did as they were told.
The route of carrying grain is not an official road, but a road with dirt and gravel.
This kind of road is not like the cement road and asphalt road in the future, not to mention that if you don't take care of it for a year or two, it will be overgrown with weeds if you don't take care of it for a month or two.
People don't have to spend extra energy hoeing, as long as the road can be walked.
This also greatly facilitates the movement of the trio, who can hide the firecrackers in the weeds, use the dense weeds to cover the firecrackers wrapped in red paper, and then connect the firecracker introductions. Finally, the oil is poured down and a very long lead is laid......
By the time they were done, their waists were so sore that they couldn't stand up.
Ling Chao gritted his teeth and said, "If you can't burn up their food this time, then I'm really sorry for the toss of the young master today." β
The grizzled Lang Hao sat on the ground eating dry food, and looked at the bamboo leaves that surrounded Pei Ye.
"Mr. Pei has such skills, so it's not a problem to sprinkle beans into soldiers, right? Why ......?"
Why don't you make a spell and kill all the enemies, and instead choose such a stupid and laborious method?
Pei Ye said: "He Zhong told me that the purpose of fighting a war is to resolve contradictions. Even if I can slaughter Yan Huoluo's army by sprinkling beans into soldiers, the contradictions and factional divisions that exist in Chaoxia will disappear? No! What can truly solve the contradictions among mortals still depend on the means of mortals. At most, I'll help you open the back door and cheat, and let me do it myself, it's a matter of principle. β
Ling Chao asked her.
"These firecrackers and oil can also be regarded as mortal means?"
Pei Ye said firmly: "Yes, mortals in the future can do it." β
The three of them ate a simple meal in disgrace, and hid in a hidden place to observe the movement here.
It wasn't until it was close to dusk that the bamboo leaves sent a warning.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Ling Chao suddenly became energetic, his eyes were fixed on the lead while holding the weapon hanging from his waist, his breathing and heartbeat were slightly rapid.
"What's ...... in a hurry"
Pei Ye muttered as he took the cigarette lit next to his mouth.
"When their large army comes, there will be two or three kittens in the lead. β
Ling Chao and the others waited for a long time with their hearts beating wildly, and finally waited for the baggage convoy to approach.
At this point, they were so nervous that they held their breath, for fear that they would be discovered by the enemy if they breathed loudly.
"Mr. Pei, you said they wouldn't find firecrackers and oil, right?"
Pei Ye held a lit cigarette in his mouth and squatted in the grass looking down.
"It's hard to say, but what if you find out?"
I have never seen firecrackers, and oil and water are not easy to detect, even if they are found to be abnormal, they can't think of their use, so at most be vigilant.
Pei Ye held the unburned cigarette butt between his fingers.
"A word suddenly occurred to me that might ease your nerves. β
Pinching the lighter, Ling Chao, whose fingers were trembling, asked her in a low voice.
"What?"
"A real woman who never looks back at an explosion. β
As she spoke, she flicked her fingers.
The cigarette butt with the flame turned out in a wonderful arc in the air, landing precisely on the oiled fuse.
"It's the New Year. β
She smiled.
