Chapter 044: The Battle of the Three Kingdoms
That night, the Great Qin soldiers took turns to eat.
The five great elders of the Yin-Yang School and the Six Sword Slaves were guarding the sweet potatoes. Ying Liang and Fu Su came to the bonfire after eating.
Fu Su looked at Great Si Ming who was looking at Ying Liang and said,""How did this happen? Is there no follow-up?"
"Follow-up? What follow-up?" Ying Liang was puzzled.
"Yes, over there. In the time we were talking, he had already looked over here seven or eight times.”Fu Su gestured in the direction of Great Si Ming.
Ying Liang looked in the direction of the voice and met the eyes of Great Si Ming who was peeking at him. Great Si Ming blushed immediately and turned his head away, no longer peeking at Ying Liang. It was dark, and the elders of Yin-Yang School and Six Sword Slaves who were guarding him didn't notice anything unusual about Great Si Ming.
After seeing that it was Great Si Ming, Ying Liang shook his head and said,"Let's talk about love in the future.”
"Alright, this is your own business.”As an outsider, Fu Su could not say anything else.
"But what do you know? Fu Su didn't believe that he was telling Great Si Ming those words.”Fu Su said solemnly.
Looking at Fu Su, who suddenly became so shrewd, Ying Liang felt a headache coming on. Fu Su, who usually looked silly and easy to coax, had begun to pay attention to details now. He was no longer easy to coax.
"It's nothing." Ying Liang said.
"Say it, you can't hide. Fu Su won't act like a little girl like Great Si Ming.”Fu Su asked.
Ying Liang looked at Fu Su and sighed,""Sigh, alright, let me tell you. When I was planning to conquer the 'world' with His Majesty, we planned to start in five years. However, there's a prerequisite, and that is that Great Qin has to be stable internally.”
"I see. Indeed, not too many people should know.”Fu Su thought that he had managed to get the secret out of Ying Liang and sighed.
"Alright, you've thought too much. It's better to rest early. We still have to get up early tomorrow and hurry on our way.”Ying Liang said.
"Yes, Duke Xiaoyao should rest early too.”Fu Su replied.
The night was silent.
Other than the Great Qin soldiers who were responsible for keeping watch, only the sweet potatoes guarded by the Six Sword Slaves were left in the camp. The others were all resting.
In the darkness, in the dense forest outside the camp, a group of people arrived.
"How's the situation?" The leader asked.
"It's not too good. The Violent Qin is heavily guarded, and the Six Sword Slaves are personally guarding the sweet potato area. There are still 300 Great Qin soldiers in the camp, so the chances of a direct attack are not high.”One of his subordinates replied.
Looking at the heavily guarded camp, the leader in black frowned. Zhang Han's ability in setting up the camp was pretty good. These men in black didn't have the chance to complete this mission without alerting a large number of people.
Looking at the camp in front of him, the black-clothed leader said,"Take out the poison that you have prepared and place it upwind.”
"Yes, my lord." After the subordinate received the order, he went to make arrangements.
Soon, the Great Qin soldiers responsible for keeping watch in the camp fell to the ground one by one.
At the same time, the Six Sword Slaves, who were in charge of keeping watch, sensed that something was wrong and shouted,"Not good, a thief has sneaked into the camp.”
In an instant, the entire camp was alarmed. The men in black who had been guarding the camp rushed in.
They slashed at Great Qin's soldiers who had yet to pick up their weapons while preventing fire and creating chaos.
Ying Liang and Fu Su were also woken up by the noise. After walking out of the tent, they saw the fire in the camp and the sounds of fighting everywhere.
"Zhang Han, you and the Yin Yang School elders will protect the sweet potatoes.”Ying Liang looked at the chaotic scene and said.
"Sir, if that's the case, what should we do about your and Young Master Fusu's safety?”Zhang Han asked worriedly.
"It's fine, it's more important for General Zhang Han to protect the sweet potatoes first.”Fu Su said without caring about his own safety.
"I will stay behind to protect Duke Xiao Yao and Young Master Fu Su. You guys go and protect the sweet potato.”The one who spoke was Great Si Ming.
After taking a look, they left Great Si Ming to protect Ying Liang and Fu Su, while the others ran to the sweet potatoes to ensure that they were safe.
Seeing that the Yin-Yang School elder and Zhang Han had gone to protect the sweet potato, Ying Liang heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that the sweet potato wouldn't be in any danger.
However, which force was the one who came to attack tonight?
Ying Liang looked at the people who had ambushed them with the help of the fire. They were all dressed in black, and their movements were fast and capable. They did not seem to have been randomly found, and he felt that they were death warriors trained by nobles.
Just as Ying Liang was thinking about which faction the person who ambushed him tonight came from, the leader of the men in black was in big trouble.
The leader of the men in black looked at the sweet potato that was firmly protected by the Six Sword Slaves of the Network. The leader of the men in black felt a headache.
He had never thought that there would be such a strong killer in the Network. Most importantly, the Network was an assassin organization. Wasn't assassination the strongest? Why were the nurses so strong now?
Soon, Zhang Han brought the other Yin-Yang School elders, except for Great Si Ming, over. The confrontation between the man in black and the Six Sword Slaves instantly disappeared.
When the leader of the men in black saw this scene, he knew that he would not have a chance tonight. He immediately ordered,"Retreat."
After the leader of the men in black gave the order, the men in black who had been struggling to hold on immediately attacked. They took advantage of the time when the Yinyang School elder and the Six Sword Slaves returned to defend and left the battlefield.
Looking at the fleeing black-robed man, the Yin-Yang School elder and the Six Sword Slaves were about to chase after him when Ying Liang said,"Alright, there's no need to chase."
"Sir, this?" Zhang Han was puzzled.
Their side had the absolute advantage, and the person who ambushed them would be taken down very quickly. Why didn't they give chase?
Ying Liang did not say anything and only gestured around. The Yinyang School's elder and the Six Sword Slaves looked around and found that in such a short period of time, there were less than ten Great Qin soldiers left.
If they had gone out to chase after the black-robed man just now, they would not have been able to defend against another sneak attack.
After thinking it through, Zhang Han felt a cold sweat. If the men in black attacked again, then the lives of Duke Xiaoyao and Young Master Fusu, who had no power to protect them, would be in danger. This was Zhang Han's negligence.
"Alright, Zhang Han, check the camp and see if there are any casualties.”Ying Liang said.
"Yes." Zhang Han immediately stood up to check on the losses of the camp. The Yin-Yang School elder and Six Sword Slaves guarded the sweet potatoes even more closely.
When the leader of the escaping men in black realized that there were no pursuers behind him, he stopped and asked,"What's going on? Why isn't Bao Qin chasing after us?”
"I'm not sure, but there are no pursuers behind us.”One of his subordinates said.
"You guys go back first. I'll go check on the rest.”After saying that, the leader of the men in black disappeared into the black clothes.
