Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

Keqing gestured, and Qizhou continued:

"Although they pretended to be refugees, I could tell they were well organized and well-planned. Their skills and physical condition did not look like refugees."

"There is greed and cunning in their eyes, and their hands have cocoons that are unique to their weapons. They don't look like ordinary people."

"Oh? How did you know that?"

Geng Hu asked curiously.

"Haha, I have been a refugee after all, so I know what refugees are like. Other refugees have no light in their eyes, their bodies are dirty, their clothes are tattered, and their soles are covered with wounds and blisters."

"And those people..." Qizhou thought for a moment, "They don't look like refugees at all, except that they wear the same tattered clothes as the refugees. If I can't tell that, then I may have poor eyesight."

"Moreover, the refugees are not as calculating and purposeful as them. At least when facing the princess's convoy and the soldiers, everyone's first reaction was fear. It was the people's fear of the noble. How could anyone have such thoughts?"

"Unfortunately, they were too fast. I didn't have time to report to the princess."

Riots always happen when people are extremely angry and can no longer survive. But now everyone is still alive and not very angry, so how could a riot break out so easily? There must be some people instigating it.

"Then you want to..."

Since the other party came to see me, he must have more than just something to say.

"Since the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, why not lure them out?"

Qizhou is outspoken.

"Since they want to instigate the refugees to fight you, you might as well go along with their wishes."

"You want to use yourself as bait?"

"Yes, after your previous move, they will definitely not dare to come out for a while. At least the other refugees are scared out of their wits, so they will definitely turn their attention to us."

"Firstly, we have been following you, so they think we know your background. And with so many of us, we are considered a good fighting force. I can have everyone pretend to be dissatisfied with you, then lure out the secret people, tell them their background, and then catch them all in one fell swoop!"

Qizhou spoke eloquently and was determined to win.

His idea was not brilliant. It was nothing more than misleading information. Since that group of people had instigated them, they certainly didn't know the relationship between themselves and the refugees, let alone that he had saved the lives of the refugees.

I don’t know what Qizhou did to prevent the refugees from leaking their information, but his plan is not bad.

Keqing also doesn't want anyone to be plotting against her secretly. Before, it was a refugee riot, so who knows what will happen next?

It's better to catch this kind of guy as soon as possible. She doesn't want to delay too much.

.

So she agreed with Qizhou's idea and asked Genghu to assist him.

After all, if they really want to fight, they still have to do it themselves. Afterwards, Qizhou quietly returned to the team, and then notified everyone to start spreading some news that was dissatisfied with the princess.

"This, this... Mr. Scholar, do we really have to say this?"

"Would it be inappropriate..."

When they heard the scholar asking them to speak ill of their benefactor, they subconsciously wanted to refuse, but since it was the scholar who said this, they felt very conflicted.

"Don't worry, the princess has agreed. Just tell me, the lady won't blame you."

"really?"

"Of course it's true, how could I lie to you?"

Hearing that it was the benefactor who agreed, the others finally felt relieved.

So they began to say bad things about the princess intentionally or unintentionally, and spread some specious news and complaints.

"These nobles are so greedy. They robbed me of my good food."

"Yes, my third brother's eldest brother's younger brother died because he hit his head on an argument with them."

"And the water source. We were the ones who discovered it, but they took it away. Now we are hungry and thirsty."

They began to tell such lies intentionally or unintentionally as instructed. God knows how frightened they were when they said these complaints, for they were afraid of being blamed by their benefactor.

While repeating "don't blame me" in my heart, I said these words to attract people.

Soon, because of their attitude, someone took the bait.

"Hey, man, what are you complaining about here? Food, water, etc.... Could it be that the food is actually yours?"

A round-faced man with a kind look came up and asked questions like gossiping.

"Hey……"

The person being questioned shook his head and looked at the convoy in front with a hint of fear in his eyes.

The round-faced man knew something was wrong when he saw it, and he immediately smiled and said:

"What's so embarrassing about it? Tell me and maybe I can help you solve it!"

"You? How could you possibly…"

"How can it be impossible for me? Do you look down on me?"

The round-faced man made a lot of gestures before he heard some news.

"What? So all that food belongs to you? You even found a water source earlier!"

"How confusing! Why did you just give it to them like this?"

These guys were so lucky that they found the hidden food. How come their brothers didn’t encounter this before? !

But even if it is found to be useful, it will still be stolen.

The round-faced man felt disdainful in his heart, but did not show it on his face.

"What a pity, all your things were taken away..."

"Yeah, you said you can solve it, what can you solve!"

The man looked unconvinced, and the round-faced man smiled slightly.

"Hey, maybe I can help with this."

The round-faced man gestured.

"Really?"

The man said in surprise.

"Of course it's true... If you really want to take back what belongs to you, I have something good for you. Didn't you say that your brother's sister-in-law was captured and forced to cook for the nobleman?"

Speaking of this, the round-faced man looked at it and took out a waist bag from his pocket.

"You should ask her to put the medicine in the pot, then I can ask my brother to help you get the food back..."

"Are you lying to me? What can this little medicine do? Are you and I so kind for no reason?"

The man doubted.

"Hey, how can you say that, brother... This medicine is a top-grade drug that can confuse a tiger, let alone a human. As for why I'm helping you, look, we can split the food in half, right? What do I want these days? It's just food..."

"I'll help you and you'll give me half, then..."

After the round-faced man said this, the man suddenly understood.

"I was wondering why you were so kind, so this is your idea."

He hesitated, then took the medicine package.

"I don't dare to do it alone. You can ask the others. If they agree, they also have relatives who have been captured and are working for the nobles. If they agree, then maybe it can be done."

Hearing the man say that, the round-faced man narrowed his eyes slightly, and then he quietly asked other people. After getting almost the same information, he believed the man's words without a doubt. Of course, he did not forget to send several other secret sentries to inquire separately. The information they got was the same, and they also knew that some of their people had been captured and served those soldiers and nobles.

Thinking of this, the round-faced man confirmed that the news was correct, and then he began his own plan. He persuaded all the refugees with his eloquence and gave them medicine packs.

Chapter 558 Planning (1 more)

"Are you sure they all agree? Second brother, we lost several brothers this time..."

Late at night, in an inconspicuous corner of the mountain, a round-faced man was whispering with someone, and in front of him, a strong and sturdy-looking man was in front of him, his rough face was tense, and he looked actually brutal and capable.

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, somewhat skeptical of what the round-faced man said.

"Before you said it was difficult to do, I was a little hesitant, but now you say it can be done, are you trying to frame me?"

Wang Du frowned.

He said this with some hesitation. He was a cautious person by nature, and he had instigated the refugees before just to test the bottom line of the convoy.

Even he could tell that the people escorting the convoy were unusual. Even if they were low-key, their standard weapons, fine leather armor, and the luxurious convoy and supplies could not be concealed even with a low profile. It would be strange if they were not big shots and had no connection with the court.

Before, I was blinded by greed, so I had the courage to give it a try. However, when I saw those refugees being dealt with one by one in a swift and decisive manner, I couldn't help but feel a little bit discouraged.

"Second brother, although we need food, there is no need to take such a big risk... If it were you, I would just forget it..."

When the round-faced man heard this, his brows furrowed deeply.

"Brother, are you backing down so quickly? Although the convoy has a distinguished origin, we can still deal with it with some tricks. A head-on confrontation is not an option, but can we not do something behind the scenes?"

"Do you want to rely on that guy forever? In the past, we worked for him and he gave us food, but now, God doesn't give us face, and he doesn't give us face either. He actually threatens us and makes us work for nothing!"

Speaking of this round-faced man, Li Hu, the corners of his mouth curled up, full of sarcasm.

"Why not get rid of his control and work on our own? Isn't there the Goddess Cult in the south? Why can't we take it?"

"It's better to be the master of your own life, so why should we be someone else's dog? Whatever sh*t religion can do, why can't we rise up in rebellion? Not to mention that people are worthless in this world, and there are refugees everywhere. This is the perfect time!"

"As long as we have enough food, we can stand up and win over more people. With more people, it won't be a problem to attack the city, and we can also grab more food! Big brother, aren't you tempted!?"

The round-faced man spoke earnestly and eloquently, and every word he said hit Wang Du's heart. His thoughts also changed accordingly. Just as Li Hu said, why not give it a try? A hint of determination flashed in Wang Du's eyes.

"In that case, what do you say?"

he asked intently.

"It's actually very simple, Boss... I just went to..."

Li Hu recounted the news and plans he had heard one by one, and Wang Du's eyes became brighter as he listened.

"Are you sure this can work?"

There was a hint of surprise in his tone, but also some uncertainty.

"Don't worry, Boss. I can take action. What's the problem?" Li Hu said confidently. "Besides, we can try it first. If we don't take action, it will be the refugees who are causing the chaos. It doesn't matter if they are killed by us."

Li Hu paused, and smirked:

"But if it succeeds, then we can't blame ourselves for reaping the benefits... Don't you think so..."

There was a gleam of determination in his eyes!

"Okay, let's do as you say!"

Soon, they began to plan and came up with a charter.

Let the refugees take action. They gave them some weapons and asked them to deal with the guards of the convoy. They were waiting behind and only needed to seize the opportunity and judge the situation.

If it fails, that's fine. If it succeeds, that's when they close the net.

The plan was set for the evening.

On the other side, after confirming that the bait had been taken, Qizhou also quietly came into the convoy.

"Is this the powder they gave you?"

"Yes! They told me to put it in the food tomorrow night. They said it was some kind of love potion."

Keqing took the small package wrapped in yellow paper, folded it open with her fingers, revealing the white-gray rough powder with distinct grains inside.

Keqing sniffed and found a strong strange smell. While the two weren't paying attention, she dipped her little hand in it and licked it gently with her tongue.

"The princess!"

"My Lord Princess!"

Genghu and Qizhou hurried to stop them, but Keqing waved her hand.

"Well, it's nothing wrong. It's just an ordinary Ecstasy drug, but it's made a little crudely."

Seeing that the princess was fine, Geng Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

"How can you taste it yourself, Princess? What if it is poison?"

"Don't worry, General Geng. I'll know the efficacy of this thing once I smell it."

Is this the same thing as this? Geng Hu complained in his heart, but didn't say anything.
