It took three days, Li Ye, Nalan Yu and others to build a deep pit filled with bamboo sticks outside the big tent. In the words of the eldest prince, no matter what angle you attack from, you will inevitably fall into it. In this terrifying pit.
Even in the big tent where Li Ye was, Nalan Yu led several soldiers from the heavy slave camp to dig a huge deep pit.
This is what the eldest prince hates about him. This guy not only wants to bury the other person, but also wants to bury himself in the soil.
It's just that this is Li Ye's plan, and he won't have any doubts.
Because they are brothers.
It is necessary to find out when the killers in the imperial city will make a sneak attack, the route after entering the Xichun military camp, details such as how many people are coming, and try not to cause casualties on one's own side, etc.
Inevitably, Li Ye had made countless deductions with the eldest prince, Xia Yunlan, Nalan Yu and others in the past few days, but Mu Mu found him very annoying. Only the eldest prince understood Li Ye's thoughts.
It is important to bury people, but it is even more important to protect one's own people from harm. This is what the national master wants.
It's just that Li Ye usually hides his thoughts very deeply. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor entrusted the eldest prince and Princess Wutong to him before leaving, he wouldn't have bothered to make a lot of arrangements and calculations.
In his own opinion, I'm just standing here and letting you chop me down.
Can you cut it?
His physical realm has already seen the eighth level of perfection. Now a master of the Tribulation Realm will come to kill him. Even if he can't defeat him, running away by himself is not a difficult task.
The problem lies with the eldest prince. After all, his cultivation level in the middle stage of Nascent Soul is still a little low, and he accidentally becomes the target of others' conspiracy.
That's why he had to dig a big hole inside the tent.
"Starting tonight, change all the sentries around this tent." Li Ye said while looking at the eldest prince and Xia Yunlan.
"Did the Imperial Master have a premonition?" Yunlan looked at him puzzled.
Li Ye glanced at him, and then said to the eldest prince: "Please move the marshal over here. We can stay up for a few nights and treat it as a march."
The eldest prince nodded and said with a smile: "I have given all my life and fortune to the Imperial Master."
Li Ye rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "I still have one life to stay here with you, but I'm more afraid of death than you are."
After saying that, the three of them couldn't help laughing.
At this moment, Nalan Yu led Mu Mu in, looked at Li Ye and asked, "Master, what should Mu Mu and I do tonight? Do you want to stay here?"
Li Ye shook his head, looked at him and said seriously: "From tonight onwards, you will let the brothers on duty outside secretly discuss the strategy of attacking Xichun City with the eldest prince in the big tent every night."
Mu Mu's eyes lit up when she saw him, and she smiled and said, "Brother, are you trying to show the killer a clear path?"
Li Ye looked at her and nodded with a smile: "Yes, we can't let them kill them randomly. Instead of doing this, it's better to tell them directly that I will be waiting for them in the big tent."
Mu Mu nodded heavily and said with a smile: "This seems to be the allusion that Mr. said, that there is no money here?"
"There are three hundred taels of silver here!" Li Ye replied angrily: "I told you to study seriously with my husband, but who knows you only listened to half of it and forgot the other half."
Mu Mu replied with a smile: "Why do you want to learn so much? Brother, just learn."
"Remember, no matter what happens in the big tent, you and Mu Mu should stay as far away from each other as possible." Li Ye looked at Nalan Yu and said seriously.
He was afraid that the Second Prince and others would send killers from the distraction realm. If so, Nalan Yu and Mu Mu would be like ants in the eyes of others.
Nalan Yu and Mu Mu naturally understood this truth, and they decided to go on duty at the defense line outside Xichun City after dark. While avoiding the sneak attacks here, they could still watch the prairie cavalry in Xichun City.
Just then, it started to rain lightly outside the tent.
The eldest prince looked at the raindrops in the sky and said softly: "After dealing with these killers, it's time to think about the cavalry in these three towns."
Li Ye looked at him and said quietly: "They should be more anxious than us."
Unknowingly, they were being attacked from both sides, which made Li Ye very uncomfortable.
The things that the eldest prince and the two were worried about at the beginning happened quietly.
The only good thing is that Nanyun City is still in the hands of its own people.
"Eat dinner early today and don't drink." Looking at the rainy weather outside the tent, Li Ye had a vague premonition that this kind of weather was suitable for killing people.
A killer would love this kind of weather best.
Because those who were killed tended to go to bed early and sleep to death on cool nights after the rain.
The eldest prince looked at the group of people sitting there, couldn't help but sigh, and muttered: "What the hell is this?"
Only Mu Mu knew that many people might be buried in this big hole dug by Li Ye tonight.
This is a tacit understanding that the two have had since Tianshan Mountain, but they have never spoken out.
She could understand Li Ye's look.
On this day, night came very late.
After everyone had dinner, the sky had not yet darkened, but there was still light rain in the sky and a steady drizzle.
Xia Yunlan has already disappeared with a group of brothers.
Nalanyu led Mumu to the defense line outside the city to keep watch.
The tent where Li Ye was was lit with two lamps, one more than usual. In his words, he was afraid that people would not see him.
Under the command of Mu Mu, Nalan Yu led the soldiers to move many wild flowers from unknown places to the newly dug mud outside the big tent, and planted them in a circle around the big tent, giving people an illusion.
This is not the imperial master's tent, but rather the place where a beautiful princess lives.
Li Ye also knew Mu Mu's painstaking efforts. There must always be some reasonable cover-up for the newly dug soil.
Only the eldest prince and Li Ye were chatting in the big tent. It was not until the sky was completely dark and Xu was approaching that Xia Yunlan walked in with two men in black wearing the uniforms of soldiers from southern Xinjiang.
Five people gathered around the table in the big tent, making tea and discussing loudly the plan to attack Xichun City.
The night is getting deeper and deeper.
The rain continues.
Everything seemed so peaceful and quiet. It was a rainy summer night. The soldiers who had been running around all day had already returned to their tents to rest. Except for the patrolling sentries, no one was seen in the entire military camp.
Even the wild animals foraging in the wilderness have retreated to their holes because of the rain, not to mention people.
Li Ye, who was sitting in the tent, looked at Xia Yunlan in front of him and suddenly said lightly: "They are here."
Xia Yunlan naturally heard the movement in the distance and saw him making a gesture...
Suddenly, without warning, there was a shout from behind the military camp: "There's a fire, the food and grass are on fire, everyone, get up quickly..."
The entire military camp exploded. The sleeping people, the sentries on patrol, and the security guards outside Li Ye's tent all rushed into the tent where the grain and grass were stored.
Once the food and grass are burned, half the battle is lost.
The night seemed to be on fire, and the discussion in the big tent was not allowed to stop. Li Ye pulled the eldest prince and walked outside the tent, followed by the guards outside the tent and shouted loudly.
"Why are you still standing still? Let's all go put out the fire. Will everyone eat grass after the food and grass are burned out?"
The eldest prince also shouted: "All soldiers, listen to the order and rush to put out the fire!"
There was chaos in the military camp for a while, and those who woke up ran towards the place where the fire was.
In Nuo Da's military camp, smoke billowed suddenly, and a line of fire shot into the sky.
Looking at the crowd who were gradually running to put out the fire, Li Ye took the eldest prince back to the tent, and the five of them continued to discuss around the table.
The night was still as dark as ever.
Regardless of the flames already lit in the military camp.
Just when the five people were arguing loudly...
"Whoosh whoosh!" There was a soft sound.
There was a dull sound of piercing the leather!
A miserable howl that stopped suddenly!
I saw dozens of black arrows piercing the rainy night, shooting out from all directions of the big tent with lightning speed, piercing the leather tent in just a flash of lightning.
The big tent instantly resounded with several muffled grunts after being hit by arrows, and screams after falling to the ground.
Then I heard dozens of black shadows coming through the air and rushing into the tent from all directions.
As Li Ye expected, the killers from the imperial city wanted to kill him and the eldest prince today.
The running man in black was like an elf on a rainy night. With just a few taps of his feet, he landed among the flowers outside the big tent. Dozens of screams resounded again in the dark night...
The dozens of killers who were rushing toward him suddenly fell silent, and their eyes subconsciously followed their companions who fell among the fir trees.
I saw that the circle of flowers and plants surrounding the big tent had turned into a deep pit, and the man in black who fell into the pit was struggling to climb out.
"Ignore it and continue attacking!" A man in black commanded the killers who did not fall into the pit.
Seeing the usually brave subordinates crying and struggling in the deep pit, the body of the killer who rushed up from behind began to tremble slightly, and he could not suppress the idea of retreating.
However, the man in black who was responsible for commanding the sneak attack did not live up to their expectations. Thinking of the adults in the imperial city, he gritted his teeth and roared viciously: "Let's all rush forward and chop them to death! Revenge for our brothers!"
The roar echoed in the dark night, floating on the grass around the big tent on a rainy night. When they heard the words "kill them to death", the remaining dozens of black-clothed men desperately passed through the ditch outside the big tent, desperately He rushed towards the big tent.
While running, he shot the bow and arrow in his hand towards the illuminated tent.
Suddenly, dozens of arrows broke through the darkness of the rainy night again. From all directions, from the holes pierced by the previous arrows, they shot tenaciously at the five people in the big tent.
Life and death only happen in a moment.
The person in charge of command seemed to have seen the dawn of victory.
I could only hear the crackling sound of feather arrows piercing the big tent, and the muffled sound of arrows falling to the ground. I couldn't count how many feather arrows shot into the big tent at the same time, and then there was a heavy fall to the ground. sound, and finally countless screams.
There was deathly silence around the big tent under the night rain. The man in black stood in the rain, looking at the dozens of killer companions around him, and watching the oil lamp in the big tent that was hit by an arrow falling to the ground, with a calm and unmoved face.
The soldiers fighting the fire far away could not hear the cries for help in the big tent. The oil lamp that fell on the ground lit the objects in the big tent, and in an instant, the fire spread in the big tent.
The black man pointed at the big tent with trembling hands, and shouted like a madman: "Come in! Charge in! Cut off their heads! From now on, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth!"
...
"What kind of person do you want us to kill?"
"One is the Grand Marshal of the Empire, and the other is the National Advisor of the Empire. As long as you complete the mission, you can set whatever conditions you want. I guarantee to meet your requirements."
"Do you want to live?"
"Do you think I look like someone who wants to live?"
Staring at the burning tent in front of him and listening to the screams coming from inside, the man in black couldn't help but tremble slightly. His countless dreams were about to come true before his eyes. He finally understood what was going on with his master in the imperial city. That conversation.
All he wants is heads, not lives.
This is an easy thing for him.
After all, killers who are at the fifth level of distraction are very rare even in the Five Domains Dynasty.
And he is.
