Huang An walked up and said, “I want five superior rooms, and prepare some hot water and some food.” He took out a silver ingot generously.
“Sure, sure, sure!” the shopkeeper quickly answered.
“Quick! Bring the officers to the third floor.” He immediately said to the waiter. “Sir… Sir, this way please!” The waiter hurriedly led the way.
Their small town had already been occupied by the Liao army. During this period, many members of the Liao army had come over to stay, eat, and drink, but they rarely paid.
Although five more demons of pestilence arrived today, they were generous and so they must be served well.
Qin Xiaoyao and her followers followed him upstairs.
On the third floor, they each checked into five individual rooms adjacent to each other.
Qin Xiaoyao asked the waiter to prepare some hot water.
After the hot water arrived, she took a bath and washed up.
Then, she asked the waiter to prepare some hot food.
A table full of food was served. Qin Xiaoyao was about to go out and call Huang Fei and the others over to eat.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
When she opened the door, it was Huang Fei and the others.
When Huang Fei and the others saw Qin Xiaoyao, they were all astonished.
After their Leader had washed up and let his hair down, he looked so delicate and pretty.
Ahem… He actually looked a little like a woman.
The four of them were stunned for a moment, but Qin Xiaoyao cleared her throat and brought them back to their senses.
“Come in. After you eat, help me with something,” Qin Xiaoyao said as she stepped aside.
Everyone quickly followed her into the room and dispelled the unrealistic thoughts in their minds.
Their Leader was extremely strong and valiant without peer. How could he be a woman?
“Leader, if you have any instruction, just say it!” Huang Fei replied.
Qin Xiaoyao went to the table and sat down.
“Let’s eat first,” she picked up her chopsticks.
After leaving Mountain Spring Town, she had been sleeping in the open and eating only dry food.
She could finally have some normal food tonight. She was already starving. “Mm-hmm.” Everyone answered and began to pick up their chopsticks.
Next, a flurry of activity swept across the table, and the large table of food was quickly wiped out.
After Huang Shi finished eating, he burped in satisfaction and rubbed his belly.
“It’s too delicious…” he muttered.
The other three also had smiles on their faces, their faces full of contentment.
Qin Xiaoyao had also eaten her fill and was in a good mood.
She looked at the few men.
“After this, you guys go outside and ask around to see what’s the situation in this town.
“And also whether the Second Prince is still in High Pass Town. In addition, find out roughly how to get to High Pass Town,” Qin Xiaoyao said.
The four men exchanged glances.
“Alright!” They all cupped their hands at Qin Xiaoyao.
“Be careful. Don’t give yourself away,” Qin Xiaoyao reminded them.
“Don’t worry, Leader. We brothers know what to do!” Huang Fei replied with a smile.
Before they followed their Leader, they often hung out in the streets and around gambling dens. They were not the kind of timid, honest countryside men.
Furthermore, after following their Leader for so long, they also learned a lot from him.
It was not difficult for them to carry out such a trivial task.
Very soon, Huang Fei and his brothers stood up and took their leave.
After Huang Fei and the others left, Qin Xiaoyao didn’t go out.
After the waiter had cleared the table, she found a place to rest and waited for her wet hair to dry.
After about two hours, Huang Fei and the rest returned.
Each and every one of them had a look of joy on their faces.
It turned out that they had all gone to the gambling den in town. Not only did they get some information, but they had also won some money.
“This Yellow Flower Town is only a small town, but because of its special geographical location, there are actually 2000 Liao soldiers stationed here.
“The Liao soldiers here don’t leave the town much to harass the people. They have only one task…” Huang Fei suddenly stopped.
“What task?” Qin Xiaoyao asked.
“To guard the food rations.” Huang Fei’s eyes lit up.
“With Yellow Flower Town as the center, the grain of the dozens of towns around the Liao army is being supplied from Yellow Flower Town.
“Most of the grain in Yellow Flower Town was looted by the Liao scumbags from our Great Jin State. Only a small portion was transported here by them.” Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes darkened slightly.
“Leader, since we’ve run into them, why don’t we go all out!”
“Burn the Liao scumbags’ food rations and cause them to fall into chaos!” Huang Shi suddenly said.
The rest of the group also looked at Qin Xiaoyao, their eyes filled with excitement.
If they hadn’t run into this situation, it would have been fine.
Now that they’ve encountered it, how could they let go of such a good opportunity?
As long as they could burn the food supply of the Liao scumbags, the Liao scumbags located in the dozens of surrounding towns would be in trouble.
If the Imperial Court’s army happened to attack, those Liao scumbags would definitely suffer a crushing defeat.
Even if the Imperial Court’s army didn’t attack, the Liao scumbags would definitely be in turmoil after losing their food supply and might even retreat. Qin Xiaoyao paused for a while. She was a little tempted.
However, she didn’t rush to reply and instead asked, “Is there any news about the Second Prince?”
Huang Fei quickly cupped his hands at Qin Xiaoyao.
“The Second Prince should still be at High Pass Town.
“The Liao scumbags both fear and hate the Second Prince. It’s because the
Second Prince blocked the main road at High Pass Town that the Liao scumbags who have entered the Great Jin State are unable to receive reinforcements.
“It’s a pity that the combat ability of the Imperial Court’s army is too weak. The capital wants to make peace. Otherwise, they would have killed all the Liao scumbags that invaded our territory!”
Upon hearing this, the other three also looked quite enraged.
“How far is it from Yellow Flower Town to High Pass Town? Have you found the way to get there?” Qin Xiaoyao asked again.
“I’ve already found out,” Huang Fei replied.
“Based on our previous speed, we should be able to get there in two days if we head north after leaving the town.”
“If we ride at top speed, it will only take a day and a night at the fastest.”
Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes lit up.
When he saw her reaction, Huang Fei wanted to say something but stopped.
“Leader, about those food rations…” He finally spoke again.
He knew that his Leader was eager to join the Second Prince’s army, but it would be a pity to miss such a good opportunity.
Moreover, if this matter really succeeded…
When they went to High Pass Town in the aftermath, they would be more highly regarded after making such a contribution, right?
The rest of the group also looked at Qin Xiaoyao. It was obvious that they had the same thoughts as Huang Fei.
Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Huang Fei, then swept her gaze across the faces of everyone else.
“Since Yellow Flower Town is where the food rations and army provisions of the Liao troops stationed in more than a dozen towns are stored, its defense must be strong.
“There are only five of us. I’m afraid it won’t be easy to burn the provisions.
“If our actions are exposed…”
“We’re not afraid! If we can burn the food rations of the Liao scumbags, it’s worth it even if we leave our lives behind!” Huang Shi suddenly said.
“Right! Burn those motherf *ckers’ food rations!” Huang Daqiao said.
“Leader, let’s do it! If something really happens, you don’t have to worry about us. With your skills, no one can stop you from escaping,” Huang An added.
Qin Xiaoyao was silent for a moment.
Then, she looked at them again.
“Fine! Since all of you have this intention, then let’s do it!” she finally spoke.
On the way from Mountain Spring Town, she had seen what the Liao soldiers had done and the suffering of countless people.
She did not have a heart of stone, so she naturally hated the Liao soldiers.
It was just one more day of delay, so she might as well just do it..
