Chapter 912
"When people are tired, they want river water. When horses are tired, they want to eat grass. If we can knock down those officers and soldiers by poisoning them, we can steal that batch of food without any casualties." Guan Ning blurted out.
Hai Mei's beautiful eyes were startled when she heard this, and she couldn't help but tease: "You really have a lot of tricks."
"How else could I trick you into bed?" Guan Ning turned around and joked.
"Rogue!" Hai Mei cursed with a low laugh, but there was no trace of embarrassment on her face as she brought disaster to the country and the people.
After walking for a while, the sound of rushing water came from a low-lying area on one side of Feihong Road. It was a clear lake hidden in the water plants, sparkling in the rising sun.
At first glance, Guan Ning's face looked a little disappointed.
"Benefactor, what's wrong? Isn't this the place you are looking for?" Chen Yong was nervous.
"No."
"What's wrong?" Hai Mei asked in confusion.
"The water here is flowing. Even if medicine is added, it will be diluted quickly and washed away. The effect will probably not be good." Guan Ning frowned.
Hai Mei also hesitated after hearing this.
"Are there any other water sources?" Guan Ning asked again.
Chen Yong shook his head: "No, there are definitely no more in this area."
Guan Ning was somewhat disappointed. Even if the plan of drugging the water source had failed, drugging the water source would not be very effective and might even harm the people downstream.
After thinking about it, he decided to think of another way. At this moment, suddenly: "Buzz..."
Bursts of noisy sounds rang in his ears. Although they were faint, Guan Ning still heard them and subconsciously looked to the left of his head.
In the dense woods, black objects hung on the cliffs and treetops, and many bees were tossing back and forth, making buzzing sounds.
"Ok?"
"Isn't this an ordinary bee?" Guan Ning raised his eyebrows.
Chen Yong took a look and said, "No, this is a wasp."
"Benefactor, let's stay away from it. If you get stung by this thing, it will be extremely painful." He retreated fearfully, fearing that he would be stung accidentally.
Instead of retreating, Guan Ning looked up at the sky and became more interested.
“Are there many hornets’ nests here?”
"There should be quite a few. There is a sea of flowers on the other side of the mountain. They bloom luxuriantly in spring, so there are a lot of bees and wasps nearby. They have even bitten people to death before." Chen Yongdao.
Guan Ning smiled, thinking, "This thing is pretty good! It's better than swords, guns, sticks, or clubs! It really came without any effort."
"Okay, you guys wait for me here." With that, he went into the woods alone.
"Benefactor!" It was too late for Chen Yong to stop him, and he could only watch Guan Ning go in.
After about a cup of tea, Guan Ning returned the same way with a smile on his face.
"Let's go back to Shu."
"Is it over?" Hai Mei was stunned.
"Yes, I found a solution." Guan Ning said.
Hai Mei seemed to have guessed something and whispered, "This wasp kills one thousand enemies but loses eight hundred of its own. How do you want to collect it?"
"Hey, I have my own way."
"These Xiliang rebels have robbed the people's food, so I will take it back and give it to the people. It belongs to them anyway." As he spoke, Guan Ning raised a sly smile.
A day later, Guan Ning returned to Shu. After settling Chen Yong and his wife, he began the final preparations.
He first had a large amount of silt brought in. This silt was not the kind from the sewer, but a kind of silt naturally formed underground. It had a special smell and was very unpleasant.
When applied on the body, it feels like a thick layer of paint, and flies and mosquitoes will even stick to it.
To ensure that everything went smoothly, he even asked someone to attract some bees to conduct the experiment, covered his body with mud, and then let the bees sting him.
But the strange thing is that all the bees avoid it, not only don't bite it, but even stay away from it.
After the experiment was successful, Guan Ning was overjoyed and immediately prepared to set off.
A total of 650 people were used in this operation. 500 of them would receive food and fodder at the foot of the mountain on the side of Feihong Road, and the remaining 50 would follow Guan Ning to rob food.
As for the other one hundred people, they infiltrated and made tampering on the road that must be passed through Cangyun County to ensure that the rebel reinforcements could not catch up in the first time.
