Chapter 14 - night raid
“Which jar of wine was sent to the tower?”
Facing the middle-aged chef, Cheng Huaiqian had a cold face, his aura and the weapon in his hand put a lot of pressure on the chef.
The chef cooperatively pointed to the two jars of delicately packaged drinks placed beside the stove, and returned decisively: “It’s the two jars, for the barbarian leaders, and the barrel next to it is for the common barbarians.”
Cheng Huaiqian gave Xia Ruize a look, Xia Ruize immediately tied the young helper’s hands with hemp rope, put a piece of burlap in his mouth, and pushed the young helper into the corner of the kitchen.
After making sure that they were both under control, Xia Ruize took out the bag of sweat medicine, and poured half of it into two jars of delicately packaged wine, and the rest was poured into the wine barrels prepared for ordinary barbarians.
There was no mention of the dosage in the introduction of the Mongolian sweat medicine that burst out of the treasure chest. The two had to guess and put it away. Fortunately, they only regarded this plan as an alternative. Don’t be afraid to let go.
Seeing Xia Ruize’s actions, the eyes of the middle-aged chef and the young helpers also lit up, and they became excited for no reason.
At this time, the chef suddenly reminded them: “Strong man, the barbarians with wine are coming, you hide first!”
Cheng Huaiqian stared at him deeply, his eyes full of threats, and then dragged the young helper and Xia Ruize to hide behind the clutter in the small kitchen.
Sure enough, two barbarian elite warriors soon opened the door of the small kitchen and shouted loudly. The chef took out two jars of beautifully packaged wine, and brought two large bowls of dishes.
Two barbarian elite warriors, one holding wine and the other carrying dishes, returned to the tower with a laugh, and laughed at the three barbarian compatriots who had been assigned to guard the kitchen as they passed by.
They were in a hurry to return the food and wine to the leaders’ table, and they didn’t even notice that the comrade they thought was drunk was actually not even breathing.
Not long after, two ordinary barbarian warriors came, one carrying the barrel of wine, the other holding two large pots of vegetables, and returned to the camp where the ordinary barbarian warriors gathered.
When passing by the compatriots guarding the kitchen, one of the barbarians even stretched his leg and kicked one of the barbarians who had been fixed by Cheng Huaiqian in a state of drowsiness, shaking the fixed barbarian and slowly fell to the ground.
In this scene, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize, who were secretly hiding by the door to observe, felt tight in their hearts. Cheng Huaiqian’s sword was already clenched, and Xia Ruize’s crossbow and arrows were ready. The two were ready to explode at any time. barbarian.
The wine with ingredients has just been delivered to the tower, and it will take time for the barbarians on the tower to drink more and sleep more deeply.
Fortunately, the two barbarians themselves were too drunk. After making their own jokes, they continued to walk forward, not finding any abnormality in the fallen compatriots.
Watching them walk away, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
The chef, who had been cooperative, looked at them with bright eyes and pleaded:
“Strong man! Please, you must save our grandpa! We are forced!”
“You continue to cook in the kitchen, no matter what happens outside, hide and don’t come out.”
Cheng Huaiqian ordered coldly, and after mentioning the collar of the young helper, he carried him out of the kitchen.
“Don’t worry, we are also from Daxia, we are here to deal with the barbarians and will not hurt you.”
Xia Ruize looked at the chef eager to pull his son back but was afraid of Cheng Huaiqian, comforted him, and followed Cheng Huaiqian out of the kitchen.
Now is not the time to be soft-hearted. They are not sure which side of the two people in the kitchen is on. It is better to act cautiously. Having one hostage in hand will at least make the other one have scruples.
Taking advantage of the absence of the patrol team, Cheng Huaiqian took the young helper to a courtyard, pushed him inside, tied the hemp rope to the doorpost, and turned away.
Cheng Huaiqian wasn’t ready to do anything to this young guy, he just needed to stay here quietly.
Taking advantage of the night, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian found a place where the barbarian patrol team rested. Tonight’s patrol mission in the barbarian camp was completed by nearly 30 barbarians under a big boss. There were four to five barbarians in one team, and there were six teams in total. Take turns patrolling.
The patrolling barbarians are not allowed to binge and drink in order to stay sober, so they rest in two separate courtyards a little far from the barbarian camp, just to separate them from other barbarians who indulge in pleasure and reduce temptation to them. .
Each squad is responsible for patrolling for two hours, so except for one squad that is constantly patrolling around the camp at this time, the barbarians of the other five patrol squads have already lay down and fell asleep.
At eleven o’clock in the middle of the night, these barbarians had already slept for four or five hours, and had already entered a deep sleep, so there was only one after another snoring in the small courtyard, and there was no movement of the barbarians.
The only barbarian who kept vigil lowered his head, and little by little, he was about to plunge into the fire in front of him.
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize hid outside the courtyard to observe, then Xia Ruize aimed the crossbow and arrow at the barbarian who was watching the night, and shot two arrows in a row, and the barbarian fell backward.
Cheng Huaiqian walked lightly and quickly into the small courtyard, and gave a hand to the barbarians who were vigilant before they finally touched the ground, hardly making much noise.
After confirming that the barbarians in the vigil had been eliminated, Cheng Huaiqian cautiously approached a room on the edge.
Xia Ruize waited at the door with a crossbow and arrows, waiting for the wind, while Cheng Huaiqian cautiously opened the door. After entering the room, Cheng Huaiqian did not give in to the barbarians sleeping side by side on the big kang. The result was in sleep.
Cheng Huaiqian, who had just learned the swordsmanship technique, made the knife more handy, without any jerky feeling, and solved the sleeping barbarians with a neat and tidy handle.
Soon, all five barbarians in a room fell asleep forever.
Cheng Huaiqian walked out of the room with a knife and exchanged glances with Xia Ruize who was watching the wind at the door. The two walked to the door of the next room together.
Just when Cheng Huaiqian entered the room to deal with the sleeping barbarians, the door of the last room with barbarians suddenly opened with a creak.
I saw a barbarian walking out of the door, facing Xia Ruize who was guarding the door of the next room. In an instant, Xia Ruize felt that his heart was about to stop. He widened his eyes, held his breath, and subconsciously pulled the trigger and shot out. Crossbow, arrow.
As a result, an unexpected scene happened to Xia Ruize. As if the barbarian who woke up at night did not see Xia Ruize standing two meters away, he rubbed his eyes and continued to **** in the direction of the courtyard wall.
“There’s a good chance they have night blindness.”
Cheng Huaiqian had finished dealing with the barbarians in a room again, and walked out lightly, just in time to see this scene, so he leaned over and whispered in Xia Ruize’s ear.
Xia Ruize nodded in agreement. If these barbarians are not rich in recipes and lack vitamin A, it is not difficult to understand that all of them have night blindness.
Fortunately, Xia Ruize was not night blind, and he could see a lot of things clearly even in the moonlight. He kept staring at the barbarians who were up at night and walked to the courtyard wall, then set up crossbows and arrows, and aimed at the necks of the barbarians who were releasing water, one after another. Two arrows fired.
The barbarian, who was not yet fully awake, clutched his neck in a daze and fell down. His chaotic brain couldn’t understand what happened.
After solving the accident, Cheng Huaiqian dragged Xia Ruize into the last room.
The barbarians in the previous two rooms were solved by Cheng Huaiqian himself. It wasn’t that he wanted to monopolize the record, but that Xia Ruize’s melee swordsmanship and movement skills were not as professional as his. .
But in the end, this room could be a little bolder.
So Cheng Huaiqian stood by and was ready to make amends, Xia Ruize stood by the bed and fired crossbows and arrows one after another at the sleeping barbarians.
Although the movement was a little louder in the end, and the barbarians who didn’t die immediately struggled and fluttered a few times, but fortunately, the two joined forces to suppress the resistance and successfully eliminated all the barbarians in the room.
In the dark of night, Cheng Huaiqian took Xia Ruize to leave the small courtyard together. No one knew that the small courtyard had completely fallen into silence, and there was no more movement.
The action of the two has not yet ended. There is a small courtyard next to it. Two of the three rooms are sleeping barbarians, and the other one is empty and belongs to the barbarian team that is currently patrolling.
In the first room, as usual, Xia Ruize was watching the wind at the door, and Cheng Huaiqian started to deal with the barbarians in a room with ease.
In the next room, the two walked in together, and then noticed that there were only four barbarians on the big kang in this room. Looking at each other, the two guessed that this room was probably occupied by the four personal guards of the barbarian leader.
At this time, there is no need to worry about what tricks these barbarians can turn out. Cheng Huaiqian prepares to make amends as usual, and Xia Ruize uses crossbows and arrows to deal with these barbarians one by one.
These personal guards are worthy of the elite warriors of the barbarian race. Xia Ruize just finished two of them, and the other two woke up and slashed in the direction of Xia Ruize as soon as he touched the big knife beside the bed.
Unfortunately, their big swords were blocked by Cheng Huaiqian’s swords without touching Xia Ruize at all. Cheng Huaiqian easily attacked the two barbarian elites to serious injuries, and then left them to Xia Ruize to kill them.
In less than half an hour, the two teamed up to solve the barbarian fighting power in the two yards, which made them feel a lot easier.
In case the city gate becomes lively after a while, the drunken barbarians are not a big threat, but the barbarians of the patrol team who stay sober are the biggest threat.
Unfortunately, this group of barbarians only wanted to patrol the entire camp, and never dreamed that someone would dare to attack them at night.
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize were very happy in the cradle of successfully eradicating the threat in advance, not to mention that this team of barbarians not only provided them with a lot of physical fitness values, but also revealed a lot of useful items.
