Chapter 78: General, you actually like this kind of thing!
Infiltrating the Wuhe Kingdom’s encampment was not a difficult task.
At least, Gu Yu had easily infiltrated it.
After incapacitating a soldier with medicinal powder, Gu Yu extracted a lot of useful information from him.
He learned about the Wuhe Kingdom’s plan to poison the Linfeng Kingdom, the main general’s residence, and even the daily arrangements within the military camp.
Finally, after Gu Yu asked the soldier for his name, he immediately sent the soldier to see Yama with a single strike.
Then, under the guise of the soldier’s name, Gu Yu successfully blended in with the other soldiers.
Although the Wuhe Kingdom’s army was small, they were prone to disruptions. Ever since the last war, the main general would reassign soldiers in the camp every two days, making them reacquaint themselves and fostering a sense of familiarity.
It was said that this was done to make the Wuhe Kingdom’s soldiers accustomed to coordinated combat.
Even if they didn’t know each other, they were expected to have good tacit understanding so as not to suffer greatly on the battlefield.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yu recalled the previous war when Gu Mengyao led the Spike Team and routed the enemy soldiers, causing them to flee in disarray.
Let alone coordinated combat, their own friendly fire had resulted in many casualties.
Perhaps realizing this deficiency, the Wuhe Kingdom’s generals intended to change things from now on, reduce this significant weakness, and strive for substantial improvement the next time they went to battle.
Unfortunately, this now provided convenience for Gu Yu.
Even though Gu Yu assumed the identity of the deceased soldier, no one suspected anything.
It was understandable, after all… Who would believe that someone from the Linfeng Kingdom would dare to come so openly and quickly blend in with the soldiers of the Wuhe Kingdom’s camp?
When Gu Yu saw that the sky outside was getting dark, he pretended to go relieve himself. Upon returning to the tent, he had two jars of wine with added ingredients and a roasted chicken in his hands.
The newly added medicinal powder was not fatal. It merely induced a state of clouded consciousness.
Similar to being drunk, they would return to normal after a few hours.
Smelling the aroma of roasted chicken and wine, the soldiers who had trained all day could not resist the temptation. They quickly urged Gu Yu to bring the items over so they could all eat, drink, and have a good time!
Although some people were suspicious about the origin of the items, they did not dwell on it too much.
It was good enough to have wine, so why question it?
They were all comrades, and there was no need to worry about being harmed.
They just needed to be careful not to be discovered by the general.
Thus, after drinking the spiked wine, the soldiers became dazed in a short period of time.
When Gu Yu wiggled his index finger in front of a soldier and saw no reaction, he nodded with satisfaction.
Now, the first step of the plan had been successful.
Next, it was time to proceed with the second step of the plan…
After collecting all the soldiers into his space, Gu Yu left the area.
When he encountered patrolling soldiers on the road, Gu Yu merely said that he had an upset stomach and wanted to use the latrine, but it was occupied by other soldiers, so he was looking for another one.
Upon hearing this reason, the patrolling soldiers did not trouble Gu Yu. They only told him to finish quickly and return to rest.
Gu Yu naturally nodded repeatedly, saying that he would return after using the latrine!
Thus, Gu Yu stole the Wuhe Kingdom’s granary.
The second step of the plan was completed, and now it was time to start the final step!
Afterwards, when Gu Yu quietly approached the main general’s tent, he first used a dagger to cut a small opening in the tent and then blew sleeping powder inside.
With the increased dosage, Gu Yu was not worried that the enemy’s main general would not be affected.
When Gu Yu confidently entered the tent, he saw a man lying on the ground with his eyes closed, clearly having inhaled the sleeping powder.
Gu Yu did not rush to do anything to the main general. Instead, he looked around the tent.
Unlike the tents where the soldiers lived, the main general’s tent was not only large but also made with exquisite craftsmanship.
It could also hide things.
When Gu Yu took out a chest from a hidden compartment in the tent, he thought that this main general was too careless, and his method of hiding things was too naive.
Being discovered so quickly by him clearly indicated that he was not qualified.
The chest was locked. Gu Yu looked at the keyhole, then stripped off the main general’s clothes and found the key hidden in his embrace.
However, after obtaining the key, Gu Yu did not open the chest immediately.
The Wuhe Kingdom was skilled in poison techniques. Gu Yu had sensed this since he approached the area.
Previously, while chatting with the soldiers, the most frequently discussed topic was the production of poisons.
This made Gu Yu wonder if everyone in the Wuhe Kingdom used poison? How could even the soldiers know these things…
Therefore, Gu Yu did not want to take any risks.
However, the chest had to be opened.
He could only resort to extraordinary measures…
Gu Yu inserted the key into the keyhole and turned it to unlock it. He did not immediately lift the lid of the chest. Instead, he prepared himself and then carried the chest and smashed it directly onto the ground.
At the same time, Gu Yu touched the red mole at the corner of his eye with his left hand and swiftly retreated into his space.
You have your plans, and I have mine.
He didn’t believe that this wouldn’t prevent it. Even if there was poison, it would be the sleeping main general who suffered.
During this time, Gu Yu was not in a hurry. He even tidied up his space to pass the time.
After half an hour had passed, Gu Yu emerged from his space.
There were no other changes in the tent. The main general was still lying on the ground, fast asleep.
It seemed that the chest was not poisoned, and he had been too cautious.
However, being cautious was better than losing his life.
Seeing this, Gu Yu finally turned his attention to the broken chest. Upon seeing the silver notes scattered all over the floor, Gu Yu’s eyes involuntarily lit up.
He had the foresight to accumulate wealth. Gu Yu felt that he should praise this Wuhe Kingdom main general more.
After all, these were now his.
He quickly collected the silver notes, then picked up two books explaining poison techniques, and even found the general’s commander’s seal, which Gu Yu also collected into his space.
After finishing collecting the items, Gu Yu picked up the brush on the desk, dipped it in ink, and wrote the words “Linfeng Kingdom Special Envoy visited here ❤” in large, conspicuous letters.
Originally, he had come here to cause trouble.
The more trouble, the better!
Therefore, before leaving, Gu Yu did not forget to give the Wuhe Kingdom’s main general a big gift.
After bringing out the Wuhe Kingdom soldiers he had collected into his space earlier, Gu Yu also called out Xi Yang. Then, the two of them worked together to strip off all the soldiers’ clothes and threw them onto the bed.
The equally **main general, after being tied up a bit, was also thrown onto the bed…
Coincidentally, Gu Yu kindly gave the main general an antidote.
The main general quickly woke up, but his vision was covered by a black cloth. When he tried to speak, he found that his mouth was also stuffed with something.
It smelled foul, very much like the socks he had just taken off…
Seeing that the main general had woken up, and after completing his preparations, Gu Yu did not linger in the tent any longer.
Taking advantage of no one being around, he quickly took out firewood from his space, piled it around the outside of the tent, and then set it on fire.
He believed that this would give the Wuhe Kingdom’s main general an unforgettable night.
Then, as soon as the fire was lit, Gu Yu quickly left the scene of the crime, not staying to watch the excitement.
When the main general was rescued, there would surely be a thorough investigation in the military camp!
Therefore, for safety reasons, he felt it was better to lie low.
However, as he ran outwards, Gu Yu directly shouted at the top of his lungs, “Fire!”
This attracted many soldiers who, upon seeing the flames, rushed towards the main general’s tent, holding basins of water ready to extinguish the fire.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Gu Yu slipped into his space when no one was around, planning to sleep soundly in his space for the night.
He would emerge from his space when morning arrived.
After going to such lengths, one had to see the reaction.
…
Because he was very eager, Gu Yu did not sleep in. After waking up in his space, he directly came out, wanting to find out about the situation.
As a result, he saw that the soldiers had very serious expressions on their faces.
The tense atmosphere in the military camp at the moment was such that saying anything would cause an explosion. The soldiers’ nerves were highly strung, and they dared not make any mistakes at this time, lest they incur wrath.
What happened yesterday was simply too shameful to describe.
However, there were still some fearless soldiers who gathered in groups of three or four. With someone keeping watch, they began to proudly recount the events of last night.
“You guys have no idea! What happened yesterday was really exciting!”
“What exactly happened? When I rushed over yesterday, I just saw a circle of people surrounding the general’s tent, preventing anyone from approaching easily.”
“Heh heh, you were too late! I was among the first to go in. When I rushed in directly with a basin of water, I was thinking of rescuing the general and would receive a lot of rewards.”
“Then what? Don’t keep us in suspense, tell us quickly!”
“Then! My eyes saw a large area of white, like fat, plump pigs crowded together in a pigsty, making me feel like I was going blind!”
“???”
While the storyteller occasionally became excited, the few soldiers listening looked confused. They didn’t know exactly what happened yesterday, so they could only listen to others.
As a result, upon hearing the word “white,” they became even more confused!
What was white?
“You’re still keeping us in suspense, tell us quickly.”
“Exactly! Guo Tuoli, don’t say these random things. What exactly happened yesterday?”
“Quickly tell us, I’m getting anxious just listening!”
Gu Yu blended in with the group. When the people around started urging, he also said a few words.
However, he was genuinely anxious and wanted to quickly hear how things had developed last night.
“Honestly, can’t you guess? I’ve already described the ‘white’ with pigs… Okay, okay, I won’t keep you in suspense anymore. After rushing in yesterday, I found the main general and a group of men lying naked together, tied up in strange positions that made people not dare to look a second time.”
Seeing the anxiousness of the people around him, the speaker no longer kept them in suspense and simply recounted what happened yesterday.
It made everyone gasp involuntarily.
General, you actually like this kind of thing!
…
Hmm, do you readers happen to have monthly tickets? (Hint hint)
