Poisoning These Monsters
"Are you saying that there are people from Xi Ou nearby who saw us opening the canal?”
Inside the tent.
Han Cheng put down the wooden chopsticks in his hand and the food he had picked up, asking Hei Fu in confusion.
Hei Fu's expression was serious." Yes, Lord Preceptor! When I discovered that they were spying on us, I immediately led my men to chase after them, but…we lost them.”
At this point, the dark skin on his face turned red with shame.
Xi Ou people…
Han Cheng nodded. After thinking for a moment, he said,"They are natives and are familiar with the terrain. It is normal for you to lose them. Don't take it to heart. Go and call Meng Jia over now. I have something to discuss with him.”
Heifu was surprised that he wasn't punished. He was stunned for a moment, and a feeling of revenge suddenly rose in his heart. He had to make the people of Xi Ou pay the price! Otherwise, he would be too ashamed to accept the tolerance that the state preceptor had given him.
He immediately complied with Han Cheng's order and left the tent.
A moment later.
Meng Jia hugged her helmet and rushed in casually. She shouted,"Preceptor! Have just told me! The Xi Ou people discovered that we were digging a canal! What should we do?"
At this moment, Han Cheng dug at the bottom of the bowl and slowly swallowed the last mouthful of food. He leisurely wiped his mouth and said,"Naturally, we will do what we should do. Everything will be as usual.”
When Meng Jia heard this, she was a little stunned." Everything is as per... as per normal? What was the meaning of this? Preceptor, if the Xi Ou people attack…won't we be caught off guard?”
"Everything as usual is just an illusion," said Han Cheng as he stroked his beard. It's used to deceive the people of Xi Ou.”
When the people of Xi Ou discovered that Great Qin had dug a canal, Han Cheng did not even need to use the Void Engine to deduce that the other party would definitely come to cause trouble.
Therefore, the entire army had to be prepared.
And he couldn't let the people of Xi Ou see through his preparations.
He had to make the other party think that what he thought was correct, so that he could catch them off guard and attack them when they were unprepared.
An hour later.
Meng Jia walked out of the tent with a calm expression, as if nothing had happened. Leopard Eyes glanced behind him, and he left with big strides.
……
An army of about three thousand soldiers of Xi Ou had quietly infiltrated this primeval forest.
Xi Ou General Tao Bobu personally led a small team to the nearest part of the river. In order to observe the enemy's situation.
There was a rustling sound in the forest. A few birds were frightened and flew away.
Climbing to the top of the tree and looking into the distance, Taupo Bu was still shocked, even though he was mentally prepared. The muscles on his face kept twitching.
Was the monster that was roaring in the wide river the monster that Qin Jun was wearing? Once they started fighting, how many people would it take to take down these giant beasts?
"What did you observe here? Report immediately." Tao Bo asked a scout who had come down from another tree after setting up the tree.
This scout was a member of the vanguard. He was much faster than the Xi Ou army and had been here for a long time.
It also meant that he had more information.
"General, the Qin army is using monsters to dig the canal!”The scout thought for a moment and answered seriously.
When Taubobu heard this, the veins on his forehead bulged. Who didn't know that the Qin army was using monsters to dig the river? "What else?" he growled.
The scout thought for a while and finally said something useful," General, the Qin country only has about 200 soldiers stationed here. They haven't discovered us yet. The leader of the Qin army seemed to be an old man in plain clothes. He would come here every half an hour to inspect. And those monsters, they drank water very frequently!”
The excavator was powered by water.
After working for a period of time, they needed to add water. In the eyes of the scouts, this naturally made them think that monsters drank water very frequently.
Taubobu thought for a moment and placed his focus on the water. He could not help but smile evilly.
"Good, very good. "Hahaha, Li Division, go and transport the Poison Miasma Powder over. The more, the better. I want to destroy this Great Qin army without wasting a single soldier!" And those monsters!"
Four hours later.
It was almost evening.
The setting sun was like blood, and red scales filled the sky.
Two Xi Ou soldiers sneaked up to the upper reaches of the Xiang River, unwrapped several cloth packages, and sprinkled the powder inside into the Xiang River.
The poisonous powder melted in the water and merged with the river water, rushing downstream.
Not long after.
A group of Qin soldiers came to the riverside and unloaded their carrying poles. They scooped up the river water with wooden buckets and carried them on their shoulders. They hurried back, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
After a busy day, when it was time for dinner, the water was used for cooking. The entire army was waiting to eat the steaming hot food.
The water was then sent to Han Cheng for inspection.
Ever since they arrived here, Han City had tested the water every time they used it to prevent any accidents from happening.
A large amount of data appeared in Han Cheng's eyes, but it dissipated after a moment. An inexplicable sense of mockery appeared in his eyes.
He gestured to a few soldiers. The soldiers looked at each other and carried two buckets of water into the depths of the camp.
"They've been fooled!"
"Hurry up and report to the general!"
When the Xi Ou people who were scouting in the distance saw this scene, they were overjoyed. They turned around and disappeared into the dense forest.
