Chapter 149: Looting The Grains
It’s a pity that with Du Yuanwei guarding the rations, it’s not easy for them to steal the rations. Squinting his eyes, Qi Baijun observed his surroundings calmly.
After a long silence, he said, "It seems that they have anticipated our attack tonight."
The captain frowned and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to continue with our plan?"
Qi Baijun thought for a while, and said, "Change the plan. Seal the soldiers’ meridian gate to immobilize them, and then break their necks. We must not shed a drop of blood tonight, so as not to alarm the enemy."
The soldiers nodded and said in a low voice: "Yes, Your Highness."
Qi Baijun is very confident in his Black Qilin Army, because one of them is equal to a hundred well-trained soldiers. With their martial arts, there is no problem in executing his orders smoothly. Also, immobilizing an enemy before killing them will keep their body in the same position as it was in before they died. This is a great trick to create a smoke screen for them, and to provide enough time for them to steal rations.
Qi Baijun and the others waited until only the guarding soldiers were left, and then acted silently. One by one, the members of the Black Qilin Army appeared behind the guards, sealed their meridian gates with a few flicks of their fingers, and then quietly broke the guards’ necks without any effort.
Leaving those dead soldiers in their standing positions, Qi Baijun and his soldiers went to the granary. There were two of them who were guarding the entrance, while the rest went into the granary.
Inside the granary, Qi Baijun saw bags of grain piled high. Before they came in, he remembered seeing some carts outside the granary. He thought for a while and said, "Take those carts outside and move as much rations as possible to the carts."
