Chapter 450: The Cook and Lang Zhong
It's not easy to lurk in the enemy camp.
Although it is difficult for the Hu people to find anything unusual in a short period of time, it is inevitable for Xiao Jing and the others to be shocked three times in one night and only drink raw water or something.
Fortunately, the search for Lu Shanshan gradually came to an eyebrow.
In order to show his closeness to the people, Cha Muzhao would walk around the camp when he had nothing to do, which gave Cao Chi a good opportunity to quietly follow him.
Finally, everyone circled a range of about ten zhang in length and width: no matter how the way of camping changed after the march, there would be guards in this area, and Cha Muzhao would run around every day, rain or shine, without exception!
Right now, it's only a short distance from the border. Once in the grasslands, it will be even more difficult to escape, and there are few large towns ahead, so it is impossible to take advantage of the opportunity of the large number of Hu people to go out and raid.
The matter has reached the point of urgency. After some deliberation, it was decided to start at dusk.
After a few hours, it was getting dark.
A large group of Beihu knights, who had been impatient for a long time, rushed out with torches and shouts. Today's trip may be the last chance to make a fortune, so everyone in the old royal army rushed to take the lead, and almost three-quarters of them were gone.
The Hu people who had to stay behind were all depressed. They wouldn't want to count the stars here if they didn't have to be in the camp to guard against the Darui army: who wouldn't want to go with their companions and make a fortune?
Now, there was a smell of laziness everywhere, the tents were empty, and the defenses were extremely lax...... It's the perfect time to save people!
Several people approached the area in three groups from different directions. The closest to the tent where Lu Shanshan was held were Xiao Jing and Cao Chi.
At this time, Cao Chi was holding a tray in his hand, which contained some food; Xiao Jing lowered his eyebrows and followed with a small box beside him, looking like he was following suit.
When she set out on the expedition, Lu Shanshan originally brought a few maids. After Cha Muzhao took control of the old royal court, he was afraid that the people around her would privately deliver news and contact the old ministry for her, so he replaced the people who served her with ordinary Han slaves.
The Han people who took refuge in Beihu often played the role of cannon fodder and coolies, and the work of running errands and serving people was already undertaken by them, and the characteristics of this group of people "have milk is a mother" made them not care whether the leader was Lu Shanshan or anyone else, and had no loyalty to the old master at all...... In this way, Cha Muzhao will be able to use them with confidence.
After finding out the situation, Cao Chi found the Han Huotou Army, who was responsible for cooking and delivering food to Lu Shanshan, and spent some time getting acquainted with him.
The man really wanted to pick up some "leftovers and cold burns" after the Hu people who burned and looted, but he couldn't get out; Cao Chi, who took the initiative to chat with him today, deliberately led the topic to this aspect, and after hearing his complaints, he patted his chest and took over the errand for him.
Of course, the overjoyed Huotou Army was of course very willing, not only said a lot of words of gratitude, but also told Cao Chi the information about the tent where Lu Shanshan was.
The original leader, Lu Shanshan, likes to eat the food of the Southern Dynasty, so he is of some use in this camp. If Lu Shanshan is not there in the future, he may have to be used as an animal by the Hu people like other Han slaves, which is unacceptable to him who has always lived well.
Instead of sitting and waiting, it's better to plan ahead and do a good job!
How could he know that Cao Chi, who seemed to have good intentions, actually had ulterior motives?
Soon, the two, who were gradually slowing down, were stopped by the guards.
"Fresh faces?" The man looked at Cao Chi's appearance with a questioning look on his face: "What happened to the person who delivered the food, why did he send you?" ”
Cao Chi accompanied him with a smile and replied in nonsense: "He was a little uncomfortable, and the witch doctor said that it might be tuberculosis, so he drove the person outside, and then let the villain cook for him." ”
The guard glanced at him carefully, then turned his gaze to Xiao Jing and said, "You are delivering food, so what does he do?" Does it take two people to deliver a meal? ”
Although he was a little nervous in his heart, Xiao Jing bowed respectfully, and said indifferently: "The villain is Lang Zhong, and he is here to see the princess." ”
As soon as his words fell, Cao Chi said: "Master Jun, this matter was specially explained by the sick Huotou Army. General Cha Muzhao had previously instructed him to take the opportunity of entering the service to pay attention to the princess's body and complexion, and if anything was wrong, he should find someone to treat him as soon as possible, but the last time he came, the princess lost her appetite and was sick......
You also know that our princess believes in the medical skills of the Southern Dynasty more, and the villain finally found a Han man. If you don't feel at ease, just ask him, and you'll know that what the villain said is true. ”
The guard waved his hand irritably. Where to find Lao Tzu? People were all driven out, either deliberately letting him go to harm the Da Rui people, or quietly finding a place to kill him and then digging a pit and burying him, in either case, finding him in this chaotic realm would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Besides, who is full of food and goes to find a tuberculosis ghost that others avoid?
His face showed a smile full of ridicule, and he smiled: "Our princess really likes the things of the Nanren." But what's the good of getting too close to a weak sheep? Hey, no wonder she can't even control her own tribe.
Since she was locked up by my general, she is like a bird in a cage, she is sullen every day, and many times the water sent in does not move much, which is strange if she does not get sick. If you want to go, go ahead, you don't dare to play any tricks......"
The guard said this to himself, not caring about the fact that the two people in front of him were southerners. After finishing speaking, he did not let Xiao Jing and Cao Chi in easily, but carefully searched the "cook" and "Lang Zhong" with his companions, and even opened the box in Xiao Jing's hand and looked at it until it was confirmed that it was just some ordinary herbs.
"Let's go inside." He turned sideways a little and moved out of the way, and said coldly: "The general doesn't allow others to disturb the princess's purity, you don't have to delay for too long, understand?" ”
Xiao Jing and Cao Chi said yes again and again, and then moved forward. I didn't go far before I heard the guards behind me laugh unabashedly at the people around me in a normal volume: "Today is really unlucky, let the southerners stain my hands......"
The two people with their backs to him just smiled faintly, and no one took it seriously.
In a few moments, what are you proud of?
Cao Chi was the first to enter the tent. Xiao Jing, who was following him, only felt that his eyes were dark, and when his eyes adjusted to the light here, he finally saw the person who had worried him during these days.
