"What?" Brother Huo is bursting the porridge inside his mouth. He can not believe the stuff coming out of her mouth.

"You hear it…. I will walk and scoop out the dunk and pee from the latrine bucket from that cubicle, and drink it using my empty bowl from the porridge," Ni Qing is looking at him with all her seriousness and confidence.

"Brother Huo, are you really going to drink it?"

"jeez… I think I will be vomit just to think about it…"

"She is not a human being… who is on this earth will eat and drink it?"

"Let\'s go together to get the dunk and the pee on the bowl and drink it… whoever finishes it first is the winner," Ni Qing stand up with the empty bowl in her hand.

"You… You are crazy…" Brother Huo is holding back his neck to hold his anger to see the shameless creature in front of him. he never ever met with a shameless person such as her.

"Thank you, brother Huo… I take this as a compliment from you…" Ni Qing takes the token and her pouch back from the middle of the table. However, as she still wants to get more information from them. She sits down again and takes out two ingots of silver.

"I am not going to gamble with you again… Just go away as far as you can…" Brother Huo gives his hand gesture to let her go away. He still wants to vomit to remember the previous wager between them. He even smashed his porcelain bowl with half of the porridge to the ground.

"I pay you for some information… why all of your flee from Bai Lan? Especially when it is only the internal problem all along the royal family and their power," Ni Qing is pushing the money toward Brother Huo who rubbing his bald head.

"Fine… Fine… they actually paying all of us the refugee with some money… they give us a small stone of gold and if we can tell them all the information from inside Fujian, then they will give us gold ingot for every information. Apparently, we do not know anything regarding about their plan… we all just need the money in return of their information…" Brother Huo is telling her when his hand reaches out to the silver ingots. His subordinates are supporting his information.

"How do you tell the information and how they are going to pay you? Can we have some wine in here?" Ni Qing is taking one of the buns and eat it without any reservation for manner.

"Miss… we can not have any wine without any money…" one of young boy is telling her. Ni Qing does not care for the money. She takes out another tael of silver and handed it to the boy to get them some wine.

"You also know to make good companions…" Brother Huo is pointing his finger toward Ni Qing. The young boy comes back with a jar of wine. Ni Qing is looking around to find out the source of this wine.

"Come… Come… we drink together…" Ni Qing is getting the wine with the empty bowl from the porridge and drink it straight away. The wine is not the best, but it will do for this condition. Suddenly, she carves to drink wine made from the blossom peach. She passed the bowl to Brother Huo and the subordinate has another Jar for them.

"Just be careful with the guard… there are Yu Tian eyes and ear among the soldier…" Brother Huo talks while being intoxicated.

"Brother Huo… How about we take her to our cave? We can drink until we drunk…" one of brother Huo subordinate has the idea after finished the wine.

"Oke…."

They sneak out from the refugee camp and walks to the nearby cave hides from the tree and bush. One of them starts make a fire and the other one start to catch fish from the river. They are enjoying the wine and Ni Qing can get as much as information from them.

The eagle troops arrive in the fortress and see that Wang Bo kneels in front of General Lin Yue. Apparently, they can not find Ni Qing inside the refugee camps.

"Zhang, what is happening?" The Emperor is putting down his stamp and look at the commotion. Eunuch Wang knows about it and open the door to see clearly about the commotion.

Zhang and the eunuch are kneeling on the floor in front of the Emperor desk.

"Your Highness, we are apologizing for the huge crime… Please punish us," Zhang is bowing to the floor.

"What happened?"

"The eagle troop cannot find Miss Ni in the fortress and refugee camp… they are going to search Fujian city…" Zhang is reporting to the Emperor.

"This is absurd… how can you not find her in that small area? Prepare my horse… we are going to Fujjian now," Jin Yu instructed to his bodyguard and his eunuch.

"But… Your Majesty, if you leave for Fujian, who is going to lead the court in the morning? How is your opponent in the court if you leave everything for your future wife?" Eunuch Wang is advising his majesty.
