Knock! Knock! Knock! At this moment, someone knocked on the door.

Everyone in the room immediately fell silent.

Qin Xiaoyao gestured for Huang Fei to open the door.

Huang Fei went to the door and asked in a low voice, “Who’s there…”

“It’s us!” Huang Shi and Huang An’s voices could be heard from outside the door.

Huang Fei heaved a sigh of relief and opened the door.

When Huang Shi and Huang An saw Huang Fei, they entered the house, beaming happily.

“Leader.” After they entered the house, they cupped their hands and greeted Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao nodded at them.

“How’s the situation on your side?”

Huang Shi and Huang An looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.

“It’s settled,” Huang Shi said with a smile.

“We went to the gambling den and asked people where we could buy wine. In the end, someone took the initiative to approach us.

“That man is a wine seller in Yellow Flower Town. He happened to have some wine that he wanted to sell.

“He only told us the details when he saw that we were willing to pay the deposit.”

Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes were filled with curiosity.

“After the Liao army entered the town, they robbed everything. A lot of his wine has also been looted,” Huang Shi explained.

“The remaining wine he has now was stored in the cellar by his family in advance.

“In the beginning, he didn’t know our background and was only willing to sell us one or two jars. But then he saw that we were generous with our money and wanted to buy more, and we were also able to pay a large deposit straightaway. After some negotiation, he told us the truth and led us to see his wine.

“There were at least a hundred jars of wine left in his cellar. If we buy all of them, we’ll have enough to burn the Liao scumbags’ food rations!”

Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes flickered momentarily.

“Well done!” She praised the two men.

Huang Shi and Huang An exchanged glances. They also felt that they had done a great job this time.

“Now, I know about your situation. So, let me tell you about my situation,” Qin Xiaoyao replied quickly.

Then, she took out the map that she had drawn earlier.

As she explained her findings, she pointed out the various locations on the map.

“According to my observation, there are many people who enter the army camp to collect food rations every day.

“Usually, they come in teams of five to fifteen people, and these people are probably from the surrounding towns.

“If we hold a food-transporting team hostage prior to their entry, and swap places with them, then we can mix in with the crowd and use the token to enter the army camp.”

Qin Xiaoyao continued to point at the map.

“When the time comes, we’ll enter from here and pass through here. Well soon reach the place where the grain is stored.”

Huang Fei and the rest looked at one another and nodded.

“When we enter the warehouse, well first get rid of the guards inside. Then, we will pour the wine and set the place on fire. After that, well split up and retreat.”

As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyao pointed out two more routes.

“When the time comes, I’ll take this path alone and lead the pursuers away. You guys go this way.

“After we leave the army camp, well leave the town separately. Before midnight, we will meet up about 3 miles north of the town.”

Everyone’s expression changed at once.

They exchanged looks with one another before nodding their heads.

Their skills were far from their Leader’s. If they insisted on following their Leader, they would not only be of no help, but they would also be a burden to their Leader.

If the four of them left together, they would be able to take care of each other and have a higher chance of escaping.

Qin Xiaoyao was very satisfied with everyone’s response.

“Then well act separately tomorrow morning and confirm our escape routes.

“In the afternoon, well go outside the town and wait for a food-transporting team. Well start the operation after dark.”

“Alright!” the four of them answered.

Qin Xiaoyao said a few more words before dismissing everyone.

That night, everyone fell asleep in a state of nervousness and excitement.

The next day, Huang Fei and the other three left the inn together early in the morning.

Qin Xiaoyao woke up slightly later.

After breakfast, she strolled along the streets.

The streets of the town occupied by the Liao army were not lively, and there were very few shops open for business.

Qin Xiaoyao was dressed in the Liao soldier’s uniform and was able to walk freely on the streets.

She didn’t go into any shops. She simply looked around to confirm the layout of the streets in Yellow Flower Town so that she could evacuate more easily later at night.

After strolling around for a while, she suddenly saw a grocery store in front of her.

A sudden thought popped into her mind and Qin Xiaoyao entered the shop.

She didn’t buy anything on display, but she bought a large box of needles from the shopkeeper.

In fact, she much preferred darts, but they were too big and she couldn’t carry too many at once.

Moreover, she had to escape at night. Once the darts were shot out, they could not be retrieved, which was a waste.

Therefore, a small needle was the most suitable for her.

With her accuracy and strength, even a small flying needle could kill someone in an instant.

After buying the item, Qin Xiaoyao returned to the inn and waited for Huang Fei and the others.

The four of them rushed back before lunchtime. They looked very confident, and it was obvious that they had arranged things well.

After the five of them had lunch together, Qin Xiaoyao led them out of the town brazenly.

Then, they went to a fork in the road and waited for their prey.

After waiting for more than two hours, a group of Liao soldiers pushing carts finally arrived.

Qin Xiaoyao pretended to be a Liao soldier in the town and went forward to chat with the other party.

After confirming that the other party was from Welkin Gate Town and obtaining other basic information, she suddenly shot a look at the few people behind her.

Following that, the five of them quickly drew their sabers and attacked.

Before the Liao soldiers from Welkin Gate Town could even figure out what was happening, they had already died under the blades of those five people.

“Quick, clean up the site and change your clothes!” Qin Xiaoyao said in a low voice.

The five of them moved quickly.

Before long, they had all changed into the clothes of the Liao soldiers from Welkin Gate Town.

They even threw the corpses into a ditch by the road and hid them.

As she looked at her followers who had changed their clothes, Qin Xiaoyao’s lips curled up into a smile.

“The carts are all available for our taking. It seems that we can save on the money to rent the carts,” she said.

Huang Daqiao reached out and patted the cart in front of him, smiling brightly. “This cart is indeed good!”

“Let’s head back to the town!”

On Qin Xiaoyao’s order, the group headed toward Yellow Flower Town.

When they entered the town, the Liao soldiers guarding the town only checked the token before allowing them to enter.

After returning to the town, the group of five pushed the carts and went to buy wine.

Naturally, four carts couldn’t hold a hundred jars of wine. In the end, Qin Xiaoyao only bought forty jars.

She found some rope and tied all the wine jars to the bottom of the carts, securing them firmly.

Then, she covered the carts with some large pieces of sackcloth.

Once the sky turned dark, if the Liao soldiers did not pay attention, it would be difficult for them to discover the wine jars hidden under the cart.

At night, after dinner, Qin Xiaoyao led the group to embark on their mission.

With prior experience of pretending to be Liao soldiers, the group was very self-assured.

When they arrived at the army camp, the Liao soldiers on duty saw the group of people and routinely checked Qin Xiaoyao’s token.

Then, he didn’t ask any more questions and let them in straight away.

After that, Qin Xiaoyao brought her group to the grain storage area.

The checks here were more stringent.

The warehouse officer checked Qin Xiaoyao’s token again. When he saw that she was a new face, he asked more questions.

“Why did you guys change the people transporting the food rations for your Welkin Gate Town today?”

Qin Xiaoyao smiled ingratiatingly.

“Oh, our Captain Tuqiu was delayed by something today, so he arranged for me to make this trip.”

The warehouse officer glanced at Qin Xiaoyao and nodded.

“You can go in,” he said.

Since the new guy knew the fellow Tuqiu, the warehouse officer had no further doubts..
