Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Chu Yan squeezed Liu Sanniang’s palm. Unknowingly, the rabbit had already grown up.
Chu Yan smiled. “You’re taking advantage of a child.”
Lin Jie wanted to bet with Liu Sanniang, but the outcome was destined.
Liu Sanniang smiled and refused to admit it. “I’m not.”
Chu Yan looked at the bright smile on Liu Sanniang’s face and his eyes became even gentler. “Aren’t you worried that he will play tricks?”
Liu Sanniang smiled and shook her head. She was not worried because she knew the outcome.
If there was evil, there would be good. Good and evil were inseparable.
When Qing Mu and the others returned to the army camp, they immediately reported the situation to Chou Ming.
Bai Anya said with a dark expression, “General Chou, the Jin Dynasty no longer has the cavalry. As for the Jin soldiers, they are indulging themselves in pleasure. It’s the best time to launch an attack.”
Chou Ming was a little tempted. “Can Miss Liu really deal with that kid?”
Bai Anya nodded.
Bai Anya believed what Liu Sanniang said from the bottom of her heart.
Chou Ming took a deep breath. “Alright, as long as Miss Liu can deal with that kid, we’ll handle the Jin soldiers.”
“General, please think twice. If Miss Liu lied, what would happen to our army? If we rashly launch an attack, what if what awaits us is that terrifying cavalry? Aren’t we walking into a trap that way?”
Master Hu looked at Bai Anya and said in a low voice.
He thought that these people would not be able to come back alive, but they did.
It was unbelievable that the person controlling the cavalry was just a child.
Master Hu hoped that Chou Ming would listen to him.
Chou Ming glanced at Master Hu. “Then what do you think we should do?”
Master Hu said seriously, “Send people out to investigate first before attacking.”
Chou Ming frowned. After being attacked by the cavalry for so long, the anger in his heart had been gathering. Now that he had the chance to counterattack, he naturally didn’t want to miss it.
Chou Ming didn’t want to wait, but Master Hu’s concerns made sense.
Master Hu glanced at Chou Ming and said, “General, I’m willing to lead the scout team. If there’s no trap, I’ll send a signal. At that time, it won’t be too late for you to attack.”
Chou Ming looked at Master Hu and nodded. “Alright, we’ll do as you say. I’ll wait for your signal.”
Qing Mu frowned. There was clearly an evil spirit on Master Hu. He was trying to take credit.
Bai Anya smiled mockingly. There were all kinds of people in this world.
The most important thing now was to chase the Jin soldiers away.
The people who followed Master Hu immediately petitioned to join the scout team. In their opinion, since the first batch of people who went came back alive, it shouldn’t be dangerous.
Moreover, they could use this opportunity to make some contribution.
Master Hu brought more than 20 people to scout the situation. It turned out that the Jin soldiers were indeed slacking off.
The information was true. Master Hu immediately got someone to pile up wood and burn it. When Chou Ming saw the signal, he immediately shouted, “Attack—”
The Jin soldiers were woken up by a deafening shout. They panicked. Some of them were so sleepy that they even forgot to put on their armor.
The general looked at the overwhelming Xia army and went to look for Lin Jie anxiously. When he opened the tent, it was empty. He was furious. “Where is he?”
Lin Jie was the weapon the Jin army relied on. The general only knew that Lin Jie hated the Xia Dynasty and he had the ability to summon an indestructible cavalry. He never thought that one day, Lin Jie would disappear.
“Hurry up and find him!”
The Jin general knew how important Lin Jie was. As long as he found Lin Jie and asked him to summon the cavalry, these soldiers of the Xia Dynasty would be frightened out of their wits!
The Jin soldiers were in a mess. They had searched all the tents, but there was no sign of Lin Jie. The soldiers trembled and said, “He’s gone. Even the people he captured are gone. He betrayed us.”
“General, our army is defeated. Quick, run.”
The huge Jin army camp had already been occupied.
Without the cavalry, these under-trained soldiers were easily defeated in less than two hours. The general could only give the order to retreat.
At this moment, Lin Jie and Liu Sanniang had already gone up the mountain. Chu Yan did not follow them.
Lin Jie followed Liu Sanniang and said coldly, “Do you think I don’t know what you’re up to? You sent people to protect your family, right? You are also afraid.”
Family was the Achilles heel of almost everyone in the world. No matter who it was, there was always someone people cared about.
Liu Sanniang smiled and said, “You’re right. I care about them very much, so I have to protect them even more.”
Lin Jie sneered. “If you admit defeat now and return my parents to me, I can stop it.”
Liu Sanniang looked at Lin Jie and said, “Jie, I can’t save them. They’re already dead. It’s impossible for them to come back alive.”
The gentleness in Lin Jie’s eyes disappeared, replaced by endless coldness. “1 can live, and so can they. Don’t lie to me. If you don’t save them, so be it. You’ll regret it eventually.”
Lin Jie quickly walked forward and overtook Liu Sanniang. He had already given her countless chances, but she still refused.
Liu Sanniang looked at his back and slowly followed.
There was still some distance to the top of the mountain. Lin Jie wanted to shake Liu Sanniang off, but no matter how fast he walked, Liu Sanniang could always catch up with him.
Lin Jie grabbed a tree by the roadside and pushed it down. The bowl-sized tree trunk was easily broken by him.
He vented his anger like a child and walked all the way to the top of the mountain..
