After several battles in a row, Tianqi dared not to fight back, and the soldiers of Lingyue were celebrating wildly.

Laughter floated outside the tent, and the rich aroma of wine and meat filled the air, as if victory was within reach.

"This battle is exciting. Brothers, just eat your meat. The court will not lack our food and money. When we capture Jiaguan, there will be a generous reward waiting for us from the regent."

"Haha, then let's drink to our heart's content tonight, and then take Jiaguan in one fell swoop tomorrow!" The soldiers clinked their glasses excitedly, their morale high.

"The commander has ordered that everyone should eat meat with big mouthfuls and drink less wine. When we capture Jiaguan, there will be plenty of good wine for everyone to drink."

"That's right. After we capture Jiaguan, we'll eat meat and drink wine and collect our rewards."

"Capture Jiaguan and receive the reward!"

Everyone responded in unison, emotions boiling, all looking forward to future glory and rewards.

Some soldiers thought the meat had been on the grill for too long, so they just took it up and took big bites.

"It's still better to eat this way."

A piece of lamb leg was bitten off, revealing bloody raw meat.

"Hahaha, it makes me greedy." Seeing this, others also picked up the raw meat and ate it.

Mu Chaochao and Ye Huaichen sneaked in and happened to see this scene.

"Tsk tsk! Our white tiger no longer eats raw food, so these soldiers have returned to living the life of savages!" Mu Chaochao sighed.

“He is no longer a normal person.”

"You guys keep drinking, I'm going to relieve myself."

Seeing a man walking out, the two followed him. There was no one around, so Ye Huaichen knocked the man unconscious and cut his hand, and Mu Chaochao took out the Gu King.

The Gu King smelled the blood and flew towards the bleeding wound. The smell of the Gu King could attract the Gu worms to come closer. After a while, they saw Gu worms wriggling on the soldiers' arms.

Ye Huaichen put the Gu King back into the box and put it aside with the lid open. After a while, a small head with two long whiskers popped out and shook left and right, identifying the direction and crawling towards the Gu King.

This is a black insect with long whiskers and a narrow body. Most poisonous insects are afraid of the Gu King and the Gu Emperor. The corpse Gu are more domineering. They are afraid of the Gu Emperor but not the Gu King and can even fight with the Gu King. The two heard from Senior Bai Ye that they could use the Gu King to lure out the corpse Gu.

Ye Huaichen quickly put the corpse insect into the bottle. Mu Chaochao put his nose into the soldier's nose, but the man was already dead.

After hiding the bodies of the soldiers, the two carefully searched for the tent of the evil cultivator Bai Fu.

"Master Protector, Mu Yunfeng was shot by your arrow. He must be like a dead fish now. He can only watch his body rot away bit by bit. There is no need to be afraid of him.

But Ye Huaijue let him escape last time, and the commander was injured. We have been shouting outside for a few days, and our morale must be low. In my opinion, we should attack the city and take Jiaguan tomorrow."

"The gates of Jiaguan are closed. Have the people sent out found out any information?"

"It's just that Tianqi's generals are clamoring to come out to fight, nothing else?"

"Are you sure no one went in?"

Deputy General Huang Zhongliang patted his chest and assured: "I am sure that no one has entered."

"Master Protector, it seems that Tianqi and the other two are still in the Eastern Capital. Why don't we take this opportunity to capture Jiaguan." Commander Sun Shangzhi said.

Bai Fu was silent for a moment, then said, "We won't attack the city for now, we'll continue tomorrow."

"Master Protector, if you delay for one day, you may miss the opportunity. Please think twice."

Huang Zhongliang didn't understand why Bai Fu was so afraid of the two young men from Tianqi. The two armies had been fighting each other for many years, and they finally had a chance to break into Tianqi. Naturally, he was extremely anxious.

“This Dharma Protector has decided not to attack for the time being. Deputy General Huang, you will lead 3,000 soldiers to the city of Jiaguan to continue to provoke the Tianqi Army.

General Sun, you lead the other 50,000 soldiers to wait within two feet. If the Tianqi army does not come out of the city to fight, then attack the city."

"Yes!"

Mu Chaochao and Ye Huaichen looked at each other and quickly left.

"They won't send out troops if we're here. So we're so famous. So we cut off their retreat?"

"Okay!" Ye Huaichen nodded in agreement.

The two decided to cut off their food supplies. It was impossible for all the food in the military camp to be stored in one place, so Mu Chaochao asked Bai Xiaoli to find them all.

"Tsk tsk! With more than a dozen granaries, Lingyue Kingdom must have enough food!" Mu Chaochao took away all the food and replaced some of it.

"Lingyue's terrain is suitable for growing rice, the soil is fertile and the yield is high. You can see that there is a lot of food, and the taxes paid by the people are higher than those of our Tianqi. Baili Jin has made full preparations to attack Tianqi."

"The national treasury has nothing right now. Even if Baili Jin has a jade mine, it's not possible to replenish the granary so quickly. Haha, his wishful thinking will fail."

They found a granary far away from the military camp, lit a fire, and then left satisfied.

Soon, the raging fire lit up half the sky, and the soldiers of Lingyue Kingdom were panicked.

"What's going on? Where is the fire?" "It seems to be in the direction of the granary!"

"Go and tell the general quickly, and come with me to put out the fire."

However, the fire grew bigger and bigger, and by the time they arrived, it was out of control. When Sun Shangzhi learned the news, he was furious.

"The granary couldn't have caught fire for no reason. It must have been done by spies from Tianqi! Search it for me!

Deputy General Huang, send someone to check other granaries. If nothing happens, leave this person to guard the granary."

"Yes, General."

The military camp of Lingyue Kingdom was not peaceful tonight. The arsonists Mu Chaochao and Ye Huaichen had already left quietly, and they could not find anyone at all.

"General, only one part of the granary was burned. I found a fire starter. It must have been someone sent by Tianqi to set the fire. I'm afraid the arsonist has already escaped."

The people who were checking the granary opened the warehouse and saw that it was full of grain, but they did not open it to check. Little did they know that Mu Chaochao had replaced the grain, and there was no grain inside.

"Fortunately, only one granary was burned. Soldiers should be sent to guard the other granaries strictly. We must not let the Tianqi thieves succeed again."

"Yes, General."

"How did they know that was the military camp's granary?" The place that was burned was the farthest grain storage place, and Bai Fu couldn't figure it out.

"Sir Protector, I think they discovered it accidentally." Only a few generals knew where the grain was stored, and they were all trustworthy. General Sun did not doubt his own people.

Bai Fu believed that if the generals took Baili Han's medicine, no one would betray him.

Mu Chaochao chose the farthest granary to burn grain, mainly to obscure his whereabouts.

They didn't know that the two people they feared had already appeared in their camp tonight. If someone opened the granary and checked the bags of grain, they would find out. Unfortunately, there is no if.
