Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

Meng Qi did as he was told, pretending not to notice the people sneaking around with the food. He walked straight up to the archers and said,

"The boss said that those people outside the door will definitely not cause any trouble. You don't need to guard here. Go back and rest."

The archers were a little worried. "But there are 30,000 people outside the gate. What if we don't guard against them and they become desperate?"

Meng Qi quietly winked at them and said in a voice that could be heard by those outside the door:

"We have nearly 300,000 people. How could we be afraid of their mere 30,000 people?"

"Besides, they still want to be taken in again. They will definitely keep their tails between their legs. How could they jump over the wall when they are desperate? Don't worry about it."

The archers understood, "Okay, we'll follow the boss's orders."

The archers retreated, and there was not even a person on duty at the huge gate.

The people outside were all dissatisfied when they heard this. "What do you mean by humiliating others? They are too insulting. Big brother, we must make them regret it tonight!"

"Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you."

Huang Bing warned in a low voice that this was someone else's territory after all, and it was easy for someone to eavesdrop.

The generals were a little anxious. "It's been so long since the signal was sent out, why hasn't anyone come? They can't really completely disregard the friendship we've built over the years, right?"

Some are more pessimistic. "As the saying goes, whoever gives you milk is your mother. They have enough food and drink now, so why would they care about us?"

Meng Qi scolded, "Shut up, it's brightly lit now. It will take them some time to get through here without being seen. Why rush?"

After being scolded like this, everyone lowered their heads and stopped talking.

Slowly, the candles in the tents went out one by one.

The sky and earth gradually melted into the snow, snoring sounds were heard everywhere, and the whole camp fell into silence.

When everything was completely silent, a group of furtive figures cautiously moved towards the front door.

"Brother, look, someone is coming!"

There was a flash of surprise in the eyes of the people who were eagerly waiting. They shook off the snow on their bodies and stood up to crawl at the gate.

Under the light of the snow, there were about a hundred people walking towards them with food in their pockets.

Huang Bing couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, okay! They are indeed my brothers, Huang Bing. I knew I wouldn't be wrong about them."

Those people handed the things out, their brows full of caution, and they did not forget to look around to see if anyone noticed this place.

"General Huang, there's only so much we can do. We can only sneak some food for you."

Huang Bing took the food and paused, but soon regained his smile. "Why are there only over a hundred of you? Where are the others?"

These people said truthfully, "They don't want to cause any more trouble and have gone to bed."

Huang Bing almost lost the smile on his face. "Have they all forgotten who protected them on the battlefield before?"

These people sighed, "Everyone remembers, but everyone has a family. Besides being your brothers, we are also the sons of our mothers and the fathers of our young children."

In such an extreme environment, everyone just wants to survive.

Originally, Huang Bing and the others could have lived, but they chose not to. They have been standing firmly behind him for so long, that's enough.

Huang Bing took a few deep breaths and tried to calm his temper. He tried to put on a kind smile.

"I'm sorry to have wronged you. It must be hard to live under someone else's roof."

In the past, these people, as followers of Huang Bin, enjoyed many conveniences in the military camp. Among the 300,000-strong army at that time, they were always the ones who were given special treatment.

But times have changed, and they are now far inferior to those ordinary soldiers who could only envy them for drinking and eating meat.

They even have to consider everyone's mood when eating and doing things. Such a gap is actually difficult for them to accept, but they have to swallow their anger in order to survive.

Such a caring word immediately aroused the grief and anger buried deep in the hearts of these people.

Their eyes were red. "Brothers, we are not wronged. It's just that we are powerless now. Even if we want to help you, we can't do anything."

Huang Bing was waiting for them to say this. Hearing this, a calculating look appeared in his eyes as he said, "No, you have a way to help us. You only need to do one thing!"

"what's up?"

Huang Bing pulled out a packet of medicine powder from his bosom. "This stuff was originally prepared by the old general to deal with the enemy. I have been keeping it carefully. Now that they won't leave us any chance to survive, there is no need for us to care about their identity as compatriots."

Everyone was shocked, "This...is this poison?"

Huang Bing nodded and said, "That's right. You can secretly put this poison into the water tanks used by the firemen for cooking. Once they die, this place will be ours."

There was venom in his eyes.

He didn't want to do this, but it was because the woman surnamed Song was so ungrateful and the others were so flattering.

The one hundred men didn't immediately take the poison. They moved their lips and said with a guilty conscience, "General Huang, isn't this too much?"

"Pass? She drove tens of thousands of us out and left us to die. So you can't pass? Now it's either them or us."

Huang Bing further brainwashed them, "Don't worry. They are private soldiers with unknown origins. They are likely rebels. It is only natural and legitimate for us to eliminate them."

"But this is the lives of hundreds of thousands of people..."

The people inside subconsciously wanted to refuse. This was different from going into battle to kill the enemy. These were truly their compatriots, and they actually saved their lives.

If it weren't for them, they would have frozen to death from hunger and cold along with General Feng.

If they do that, they’ll become the snake in the story of the farmer and the snake!

If people knew about this, they would definitely criticize them and they would feel guilty about it.

Huang Bing saw their refusal and coaxed them in a low voice, "Don't think too much, just put this packet of poison into the water they use for cooking.

Once we occupy this place, all the good food and wine will be ours. Not only will you no longer have to look at their faces, you will also be the great hero of all of us!

When the snow melts, we will return to the capital and ask the Emperor to grant you promotions and honors."

Huang Bing offered tempting conditions step by step. As a soldier himself, he knew best what could move these people's hearts.

These people looked hesitant and tormented in their hearts, but selfishness and greed ultimately triumphed over morality.

They took the medicine bag and said, "Okay, let's give it a try."

The faces of the 30,000 people outside suddenly showed joy. They all felt hopeful, as if they had already seen the scene of themselves taking the snow cellar where the food was stored in the camp for themselves.

Although Huang Bing was also very happy, he still kept his emotions under control.

He looked around and said, "Hurry up and get back to work! Tomorrow morning, when they're having breakfast, that's when they'll die!"
