The two searched for a while and found the kitchen.
Several cooks came over with a recently slaughtered cow and were breaking down the carcass with knives when they suddenly noticed Xie Yuan and Huo Qubing.
"You two look so familiar, are you new here?" Lao Wang, who was holding the knife, raised his eyebrows.
"Well, yes, the new one." Xie Yuan nodded, "The boss asked us to come to the kitchen to help you."
"Finally, you have done something serious for me. You guys are here just in time. Follow me to deliver some things later. I have to run alone every time. My bones really can't bear it."
While grumbling, Lao Wang raised his knife and quickly peeled off the cowhide and tore apart the beef.
Soon, a complete skeleton was revealed, leaving Huo Qubing stunned.
Xie Yuan didn't take it seriously.
Everyone has their own strengths, it's just that practice makes perfect.
Soon, everyone carried the beef in. Lao Wang put the horns and bones into the cowhide, wrapped the whole thing, and put it into a wooden barrel.
"Follow me." Putting the barrel on the cart, Lao Wang glanced at Xie Yuan and Huo Qubing.
The two followed immediately.
Leaving the kitchen, the three of them came to a private place.
There is only one ice house here.
Lao Wang opened the ice room and found all wooden barrels inside.
No need to guess, these are all cowhide and beef bones.
"One person pushes three buckets, follow me." Lao Wang pulled over two carts.
The two looked at each other and loaded the barrel neatly.
Lao Wang walked into the ice room and opened a mechanism. There was an extra secret passage somewhere.
After passing through the secret passage and arriving outside, we were already in a deep mountain and old forest.
When we entered a camp, there were soldiers patrolling all around.
When Lao Wang brought his people, a heavy army came to meet him. When he saw two unfamiliar faces, he couldn't help but frown.
"They are new here." Lao Wang moved the barrel down and said calmly,
"How many more cows do I need to kill? I'll go see if there are enough cows."
"Just kill the rest and that's it. Wait for the rest..." The soldier gave Lao Wang a look.
"I got it." Lao Wang waved his hand impatiently, and then left with Xie Yuan and Huo Qubing.
After returning to the ice room, Lao Wang closed the secret passage, looked at the two of them, and said in a low voice: "This is a secret that no one knows yet. They want to kill people to silence them. When the last batch of cattle is killed in a few days, you can change it."
Just change your appearance and go away, I'll just pretend I've never seen you before."
"Thank you, old man."
…
After returning to the inn, Xie Yuan immediately took out the Xiteng paper and charcoal and drew the route to the ice room.
Cui Xunzhi came over and asked curiously what it was.
"We found that they slaughtered the cattle, skinned them and removed the bones and sent them away one after another. There was an ice house in the Su Mansion, and there was a secret passage in the ice house. We walked through the secret passage at a normal pace for half an hour.
Only then did we see the light. The outside is connected to the deep mountains, where they hide their troops." Huo Qubing explained.
"When we went out, the sun was setting in the west, and it was right in front of my face. The camp was facing west and east. The Su Mansion was facing north and south, the ice room was in the south, and the secret passage was in the southwest corner. If my guess is correct..."
Xie Yuan found a map of Wulingkan, drew a circle on a mountain range, pointed here and said,
"The land of the Tibetan army is here."
"If these are Su's private soldiers, then they sent cow hides, bones and horns to the military camp, wouldn't it be..." Thinking of something, Cui Xunzhi's face turned pale.
"You can't scare the snake away." Xie Yuan rubbed his chin and suddenly said, "Unjust, help me grind the ink. I want to write a letter to Yu Zhi."
