"Okay, then I'll do as you say."
Helianya returned from a great defeat, and now his prestige in the army is not as good as before. If he doesn't find a way to restore his image, he will only be suppressed even more excessively by Wanyan Shaoning in the future.
He followed Wanyan Shaoning with meaningful eyes as he conceived the next plan in his mind.
On the other side, Qin Yun led Yi Rui and others back to the base camp, and Xiang Jiequn greeted them with a bright smile, which made Qin Yun frown.
"Qin Yun, you did a good job this time. Wanyan Shaoning is a famous marshal of the Southern Barbarians. Being able to survive in his hands is already something to be proud of."
This sentence had a somewhat cursed and sinister flavor. Yi Rui glared and was about to step forward to argue with Xiang Jiequn, but was suddenly stopped by Qin Yun.
He just smiled faintly and said, "General Xiang, if you don't have anything else to do, I'm going back to rest."
The letter has been delivered to the hands of the royal guards. Xia Zi will soon know the situation on the front line. There is no need for Qin Yun to start a meaningless dispute with Xiang Jiequn.
He is a person who understands the general situation and takes the overall situation into consideration.
When Xiang Jiequn saw this, his expression was also a little gloomy.
Qin Yun was so calm in the face of his provocation, which made him look a bit ridiculous.
Looking at Qin Yun's leaving figure, Xiang Jiequn clenched his fists, sneered and said, "I'll see how long you can keep pretending!"
The soldier stood beside Xiang Jiequn, his body trembling slightly and he didn't dare to make a sound.
After avoiding their eyes and ears, Yi Rui said angrily: "General Qin, listen to what he said! We lead troops through life and death, and he is sitting here on Diaoyutai. Does he really think of himself as a marshal? He is just a petty general at best! What qualifications do he have to speak to you with that attitude?"
After returning from the battle, everyone would feel uncomfortable if they heard Xiang Jiequn say something like, "It's worth being proud to be alive."
"There is no need to vent your anger on him. The overall situation is more important now, and you have worked hard. Go back and have a good rest."
As for the secret letter, Qin Yun did not tell Yi Rui. Although he trusted him, Qin Yun was worried that there would be secret guards posted by Xiang Jiequn nearby.
The walls have ears, so we have to guard against them.
Wanyan Shaoning of the Southern Barbarians has arrived on the battlefield. He is not only powerful, but also very strategic. He is completely different from a reckless man like Helian Yaru.
Now Qin Yun and the others are in a state of internal and external troubles, so it is not appropriate to have a conflict at this time.
The only way is to wait for Li Ruyi, Xia Mu and others to arrive.
No matter how arrogant Xiang Jiequn was, there was no way he wouldn't give Li Ruyi face.
In the evening, Qin Yun was soaking his feet and resting when he suddenly noticed a slight fluctuation of internal energy outside the tent.
Although it only lasted for a short moment, Qin Yun believed that his feeling was not wrong.
"Is it a sneak attack by the Southern Barbarians?"
No, that's not right.
Qin Yun quickly rejected this idea.
In today's battle, not only did he see Wanyan Shaoning's strength, the latter should also see his strength, but both armies suffered losses. With Wanyan Shaoning's character, it was impossible to choose to launch a sneak attack at this time.
After all, soldiers are not iron men, and they also need enough rest to fight better.
Not to mention the entire base camp, just a camp near Qin Yun has been shaped into an iron wall by him. A sneak attacker wants to sneak in, unless he has the strength of Helian Yaru.
Obviously, the opponent's internal energy aura is not as strong as Helian Yaru.
In just a few seconds, Qin Yun's brain was running rapidly. After thinking about it, he could only think of one person.
That is Xiang Jiequn.
"Hmph... I can't hold myself back so much. Now I'm going to attack me."
This made Qin Yun realize that his performance posed a threat to Xiang Jiequn, and he wanted to quickly deal with Qin Yun, his great enemy!
He silently circulated his inner strength, preparing to give the sneak attacker a fatal blow.
The suffocating atmosphere lasted for a full quarter of an hour.
suddenly.
"Zhi!"
A cold light flashed before his eyes, and a pair of eyes full of murderous intent appeared in front of him. Their eyes met, and the assassin saw unexpected calmness in Qin Yun's eyes.
Something's wrong!
He always thought that he was hiding well, and Qin Yun also acted very naturally, which created an illusion for the assassin that he had the initiative.
As everyone knows, when Qin Yun noticed the fluctuation of internal energy, the identity of hunter and prey quietly changed.
"Clang!"
The dagger shimmering with cold light fell to the ground. Qin Yun grabbed the opponent's wrist and pinned it to the ground.
Just when he was about to ask, he suddenly noticed something unusual.
Qin Yun turned the assassin over so that he was facing him.
During this time, black blood flowed from his mouth, and he grinned, looking quite terrifying.
This is a dead soldier. He has bitten the poison sac in his mouth and is about to die.
"Damn..."
Qin Yun threw him aside, his heels weakened, and he fell down on the bed.
He had been too tired recently. After his tense nerves relaxed, endless fatigue followed.
"General!"
Yi Rui heard the noise and hurried in.
When he saw the corpse and the dagger on the ground, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
"Shh..."
Qin Yun shook his head and made a hissing gesture.
Yi Rui lowered his voice and said in a serious tone: "The defenses around here are like an iron wall. How could this man sneak in? He must be the dead soldier sent to Jiequn! He knows the layout of the camp and the distribution of patrol soldiers best. But it’s too late!”
"This bastard...does he really want to..."
Yi Rui did not say the word "rebellion".
"Bury it."
Qin Yun took a deep breath and said, "I have my own plan."
"yes."
Yi Rui knew Qin Yun's ability, and when he heard his words, he knew that Qin Yun was not swallowing his anger, he was just waiting for an opportunity.
He called two trustworthy soldiers and asked them to bury the corpses of the dead soldiers anywhere. Then he secretly sent some more secret guards around Qin Yun's camp, and then he left with peace of mind.
The next day, when Xiang Jiequn saw Qin Yun appear in front of him intact, a crack appeared in the perfect expression on his face.
"General Qin, how did you sleep yesterday?"
Qin Yun smiled and replied naturally: "Of course, a good sleep after being extremely exhausted is the best way to restore your energy."
"Haha... That's good, that's good."
Xiang Jiequn seemed concerned on the surface, but there was already a storm in his heart!
He can guarantee that the soldiers he sent last night are not weak, and are on par with Qin Yun. Moreover, the other party is proficient in assassination, and Qin Yun is in a state of extreme exhaustion...
The right time, place and people were right, and he was right. He originally thought that when he woke up this morning, he would hear the news of Qin Yun's death from his own soldiers.
But alas, no.
He is still alive and well.
