Our family has been rebelling for generations, and you've become the top scholar in the imperia

It was late at night.

On the city wall of Pingsha Pass.

Many soldiers watched the lowered basket, swallowing nervously.

Lord Qin's dozens of men actually wanted to leave the city in the middle of the night, and each of them was dressed in black, masked, and carrying a large bundle on their chest.

As for what's inside, nobody knows.

"Slow down, everyone do your own job. The agreed time is here. You must all finish before you set the fire. If you haven't finished, come back to me right now."

Qin Daniu licked his lips, then suddenly waved his hand, leading several people to quickly climb into the hanging basket.

The ropes were slowly lowered, and the basket landed the instant the ropes were lowered.

The group quickly stepped over the wild boar carcass on the ground and disappeared into the night.

"Those responsible for poisoning, follow me. We'll go around to the east, especially the water for the horses... Let's go..."

Liu Tu called to his brothers, and the moment the basket was pulled up, they immediately climbed up.

"Can you do it?"

The last dozen or so people waited for the basket to come up.

Qin Feng patted Cao Liang on the shoulder and asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, sir. The task I'm in charge of is the simplest. I just need to go around the military camp to the back and poison the water tank. It's much easier than the other brothers' task, and there will be absolutely no problem."

A rare opportunity!

If this matter were accomplished, Cao Liang dared not even imagine what reward he would receive.

Moreover, the work they do is the simplest.

Wild boar skin water tanks were kept separate from those used for livestock. Although cooking took place inside the military camp, water was clearly carried over from the very back.

Therefore, it can be deduced that the water vat was definitely behind the military camp.

There won't be too many people guarding it.

Moreover, Lord Qin's orders to them were that if they found it impossible to get there, they should return immediately and not force their way through.

In the future, they will all be people from the Thousand Household Office. We can't let Lord Qin's own people do all the work. They have to participate too. Otherwise, wouldn't Liu Tu and his people be able to dominate in the future?

"Alright, go ahead. I'll be waiting for your good news here. When the fire starts, no matter what you're doing, even if you're about to pour poison into the water, you must stop immediately and retreat. People are the most important thing. I don't want any of you to lose a single one of your lives."

Cao Liang and the others were slightly moved.

He nodded emphatically, then quickly slipped into the gondola and landed, leaving Pingsha Pass.

"It's still too dangerous; the Gou family army should go!"

General Gou let out a soft sigh.

The people under Qin Feng's command were all members of the Imperial Guard, also known as the Eunuch Party.

There wasn't a single good person among them.

did not expect.

This time, the experience at Pingsha Pass was completely different from the rumors outside. Everyone was very serious about their work and there was no slacking off or even embezzlement.

They'd even scramble to do things that require them to risk their lives.

If it were an ordinary soldier, it would be almost unthinkable.

"General, your Gou family army is formidable in battle, but to be honest, the secret police are the most suitable for this kind of work. They've been learning these skills all along."

Qin Feng smiled.

He glanced around and whispered a suggestion.

"I think that in the future, General Gou might as well select a few hundred people and train them specifically in the direction of the Imperial Guard, mostly like scouts, but more professional!"

"Nobody cares how they win, as long as they can win!"

"to be honest."

Qin Feng shook his head slightly as he said this.

"The best way to deal with the grasslands is not through annual gifts or by fighting, but by keeping the grasslands in constant chaos. We should arrange manpower in advance, and if a tribe produces a big leader, we should find a way to assassinate him. Let them continue to fight, and the grassland tribes will fight each other on their own without us having to lift a finger."

General Gou was taken aback and pondered it carefully.

This method...

It seems to be feasible.

Unlike the Great Zhou Dynasty, the grasslands have far fewer rules, and there are plenty of opportunities to get close to the chieftain.

The key point is that the grasslands and the Great Zhou Dynasty had opened a trade market, and many Great Zhou merchants were already staying there.

It would also be easier to conceal one's identity.

"After you hold Pingsha Pass, be careful. I can return directly to Chentu Pass, but you must return to the capital. Once these troops disperse..."

Upon hearing this...

Qin Feng nodded slightly.

"I understand."

Not only did they defend Pingsha Pass, but they also severely damaged the wild boars on the grasslands; their achievements were immense.

None of the civil officials in the court wanted him to return to the capital.

Moreover, the officials in these border prefectures would certainly not be willing to accept that if he returned and reported the situation truthfully, the Emperor would surely punish all the officials in the border region.

The problem is... Qin Feng isn't that kind of person.

While we have troops at our disposal, and these are soldiers who have fought against wild boars, we must nip the danger in the bud.

"It's good that you understand."

The two stood quietly on the city wall, watching the camp where the wild boar hides had been transported out, waiting for the firelight to come on.

As for whether it will succeed.

Qin Feng wasn't too worried; the people from Daliu Village were incredibly professional at this.

……

"Pfft!"

Outside the Wild Boar Skin Camp.

A wild boar skin leaning against the outside was found with its mouth covered and its throat slit; the body was quickly dragged into the distant bushes.

Qin Dali lay on the ground, his eyes fixed on the military camp.

He quietly assigned tasks to the people.

"Strip them, change into their clothes. It'll be dark and you won't see anything. Once you have enough clothes, grab the jar and go straight in. If anyone questions you, just stab them to death..."

"Wait a little longer, give the person who poisoned us some time."

"After setting the fire, did you see those tents? Push the wagons loaded with grain, light them, and push them over there. Leave from the same spot. Once the fire starts, the military camp will be in chaos."

They were talking.

The guy behind him pulled out a knife and carefully began cutting the wild boar's neck.

"I'm assigning tasks, what are you doing?"

"Don't you want the head? It's worth five taels of silver. Don't waste it. Hang it here for now, and tie it to your belt to take it back with you when you leave."

Qin Dali: "???"

"Hurry up, hang up, hang up!"

"Where was I? Oh right, things are getting chaotic inside. After we get out of here... let's find somewhere to hide. Let's not go back yet."

"Ah, aren't we going straight back to Pingsha Pass?"

"What's wrong with you? I'm the boss, you're the boss. Just do what I say, stop talking nonsense."

Qin Dali stared wide-eyed.

He muttered angrily in a low voice:

"Qin Feng is my son, how could I not know him? After the fire started at Wild Boar Skin, he will definitely put it out. This kid is waiting. Many soldiers in the city have been ordered to be ready to defend the city at any time tonight."

"After finally putting out the fire, the wild boar will be exhausted. Then, if you give it some drugged water, what kind of scene will that be?"

"I still don't understand, how many people would have to lie down?"

Upon hearing this...

The eyes of the group lit up.

He nodded emphatically immediately.

"If we're talking about people who aren't human, then it has to be these educated ones. When the time comes, the young master will definitely lead his men out to attack."

"It shouldn't be wrong, let's do it!"

Qin Daniu licked the corner of his mouth.

"A wild boar's hide and a head are only five taels of silver. If we're going to do something big, let's do something big. How much silver is the head of those tribal chiefs and big bosses worth? Let's take them!"
