I opened a treasure chest on the road to escape

Chapter 55 Making trouble
  Finally, they decided to take action.

The woman has already made her choice, so they should make a choice, have different paths, and not conspire against each other.

In order to prevent being discovered, Chen Chuxue picked out the medicine that was easily soluble in water to avoid being discovered.

Then they began to wait.

There are two ways to add medicine to the water. One is to wait for cooking, and the other is to add medicine to the bucket in the carriage.

They chose the first one, although it was more risky, but they didn't want to delay it any longer.

If you want to add medicine to the water source, you have to wait until night, when it is quiet, but not everyone may be asleep by then.

In addition, there were two large wooden barrels in the carriage. If you wanted to make everyone unconscious, it would definitely require a very large amount.

But the medicine in Chen Chuxue's hands might not be enough.

After much deliberation, I decided to do it while waiting for the porridge to be cooked.

After making the plan, several people started waiting.

Fortunately, it was soon evening when everyone began to stop and set up camp.

Uncle Geng accidentally came near Li Zhao, and Li Zhao immediately glared at Uncle Geng.

Ever since he was defeated by Uncle Geng, he felt that he had lost face. His companions were laughing at him. After all, they were people who had experienced hundreds of battles. Uncle Geng was just a mountain villager. How could he defeat them.

Therefore, after Li Zhao was defeated, he was laughed at by his companions.

He was very angry in his heart. He felt that he failed last time because he underestimated the enemy and because Uncle Geng made a sneak attack.

Uncle Geng came here to stir up trouble. Seeing Li Zhao's expression, he said, "If you are dissatisfied, let's compete again."

"Let's compete, who's afraid of you!"

Li Zhao suddenly became furious. This man dared to provoke him. Did he really think he was so powerful?
  Uncle Geng ignored them, but looked at everyone, "Just in time, everyone is here to bear witness."

"Whoever defeats me will get these five taels of silver."

With that said, he took out five taels of silver from his arms, which was given by Chen Chuxue when Uncle Geng said he wanted to compete with Li Zhao to attract everyone's attention.

Chen Chuxue then came up with an idea, which was to place bets and gamble money. Only money can attract everyone.

"Five taels of silver?"

Everyone's hearts moved. Five taels of silver was still a lot for ordinary soldiers like them.

But they had seen Uncle Geng's power yesterday and easily defeated Li Zhao, so they were not necessarily their opponents.

"Everyone knows that Marquis Qingyun is my uncle..." Chen Chuxue stood up and pulled the tiger skin again to raise the flag, "I will give another twenty taels to whoever wins Uncle Geng."

Wow!
  As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly boiled.

Twenty taels!

That's a lot of money.

They worked hard to suppress the bandits, but their income was only five taels. Unless they were lucky and got some silver from them while suppressing the bandits, otherwise, they would not earn even one tael or twenty taels.

Therefore, everyone was immediately moved.

"Can anyone do it?"

"of course."

Uncle Geng's purpose is to make things big, and Li Zhao can do it with just a few punches, but he won't be able to attract everyone's attention.

"Don't worry, everyone." Uncle Geng clasped his fists at everyone, "Come one by one."

"you wanna die!"

Seeing that Uncle Geng didn't take him seriously, Li Zhao was immediately furious, "Don't think you were proud of the fact that you defeated me last time. I was just careless and you attacked me that time."

"is it?"

Uncle Geng looked disdainful and deliberately confronted him tit for tat.

At this time, because the camp had been set up and everyone was waiting to finish their meal, Pad had nothing to do. He happened to hear the movement in front and was immediately attracted to it.

"I heard no, as long as you defeat the man named Geng, you can win five taels..."

"No, no." The person next to him quickly retorted, "Now it's twenty-five taels." Uncle Geng took out five taels, and Chen Chuxue took out twenty-five taels. It was indeed twenty-five taels.

As soon as these words came out, other people's eyes suddenly lit up.

"real or fake?"

"Let's go and take a look!"

Even if they can't get twenty-five taels, they can still go and see the excitement.

Even the few soldiers who were monitoring the cook in the kitchen were eager to watch the excitement when they heard the commotion outside.

It's just that firstly, they have to monitor the cook, and secondly, they have to help in the kitchen.

The cook alone might not be able to prepare food for hundreds of people in half an hour.

But now that they heard about the twenty-five taels bet outside, they wanted to give it a try even if they were not tempted.

just in case…

What if they win?

Everyone will have a feeling of luck in their heart.

They stood at the entrance of the tent and watched more and more soldiers gathering there, becoming even more impatient.

They just want to finish what they are doing as soon as possible and then go watch the fun.

"If you don't mind, brothers, I can help..." Aunt Geng walked out at the right time.

She looked around for a long time, and when she found that the two of them were in love but couldn't leave, she came out to rescue them in a hurry.

"you……"

The two soldiers naturally knew Aunt Geng. After all, there were no women in the army. With so many coming in at once, it was impossible for them not to know.

However, it was said that those people were so powerful that even the general did not dare to neglect them, so no one dared to disturb Chen Chuxue and the others.

Usually when I see them, they don't come forward. After all, they are not from the same world.

"That's right." Aunt Geng nodded and said, "I am the cook, and I am responsible for the young lady's meals all the way."

"Because my little lady is young, I specially planned to borrow the kitchen to help some older brothers."

After hearing Uncle Geng's words, the two soldiers looked at each other, then looked back at the food that was already cooking, and nodded.

"That's fine."

"I can lend you the kitchen, but you have to help us prepare dinner. If there are only mistakes, you can't get any benefits even if you have the background."

Anyway, they had already cooked the porridge, all they needed to do was steam the cakes, and they didn't dare to do anything about it.

After a few people finished explaining, they ran to watch the excitement.

Aunt Geng and the cook were soon left in the kitchen.

Seeing Aunt Geng, the cook glanced outside and whispered, "I'm warning you one last time, don't make any evil plans, otherwise I won't miss the old relationship."

As soon as these words came out, Aunt Geng, who originally wanted to persuade him, sighed, but she quickly forced out a smile.

"nature."

"I just want to cook some food for our little lady this time."

After saying that, Aunt Geng added, "In addition, if there is anything else I can do to help, just ask..."

"Let's see how salty the porridge is." Seeing that Aunt Geng didn't persuade her, the cook said nothing more, "If you're hungry, you can take the opportunity to drink some."

This is one of the reasons why the woman doesn't want to leave. Being in charge of the kitchen can take advantage of the opportunity to eat secretly. In this famine era, it is good to be full.

Aunt Geng nodded, put away the pot lid with one hand, stood aside to block the cook's view, poured the medicine into the pot with the other hand, and then quickly stirred it with a spoon.

"What are you doing!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded, interrupting Aunt Geng's movements.
