The remaining two men from the Northern Tribes roared angrily and charged at the black figure. The black figure snorted and a cold light flashed. The cold light of the soft sword danced in the night like a dazzling flower. In just a moment, another person fell to the ground. The remaining man from the Northern Tribes was scared out of his wits. As long as one was human, one would be afraid of death. Even though the Northern Tribes were more courageous than the people of the Central Plains, it did not mean that they were less afraid of death. If it was on the battlefield, the two armies might not care about life and death. However, in the darkness of the night, facing this mysterious black figure and the corpses of two of his comrades lying beside him. The man from the Northern Tribes, who had been running for more than two hours, finally had a mental breakdown. He roared angrily and charged at the black figure without caring about the difference in skill. The black figure laughed coldly and appeared behind the man from the Northern Tribes. His palm landed on the back of the man's neck. The man from the Northern Tribes fell to the ground in a daze. The forest regained its peace.
The man in black kept his soft sword and turned to walk out of the forest. Outside the forest, Xu Qingfeng, Han Mingxi and the rest were already waiting there. Walking out of the dark forest, a handsome face was revealed under the starlight. Who else could it be but Zhuo Jing?
Han Mingxi leaned against a tree and yawned in boredom. "Just three escaped thieves. Is there a need for Princess Ding's most trusted aide to personally deal with them? Making a mountain out of a molehill. "
Zhuo Jing ignored Han Mingxi's mockery and said lightly, "The Princess Consort only wants to know how strong these people are."
Xu Qingfeng asked curiously, "How is it?" They had watched the battle from beginning to end. Naturally, they could see that these people's strength was not far from Qi Lin's. He was indeed worthy of being trained by Helian Zhen after spending countless years and countless efforts.
Zhuo Jing smiled. "Their skills are not bad. However, they are lacking in other aspects." In Qi Lin's training, individual skills were important. However, it was not absolute. Among the Qilins, there were also some whose skills were only slightly better than ordinary soldiers. However, he had a specialty that no one else could match. Moreover, Qi Lin was good at teamwork. If one was surrounded by them, even if one was a top expert in the world, it would not be easy to escape. Other than that, there were also various skills training sessions. Tonight's incident where the Northern Tribes got lost in the forest would never happen to Qi Lin.
Furthermore, the mental fortitude of these Northern Tribes members was not as good as the members of Qi Lin. In the past few years, Qi Lin had gradually formed a standardized system under the leadership of Qin Feng and the others. Every officially selected member had emerged from various desperate situations. He would only become stronger when encountering a strong opponent, and he would only become calmer when facing a dangerous situation instead of going crazy for no reason.
Xu Qingfeng nodded and said, "That's good. Let's go back too. "
Helian Peng and Yelu Ye were sitting in the middle of the big tent, waiting for news. Yelu Ye's sword-like eyebrows furrowed, his heart a little uneasy. Since the start of the battle with the Mohist army, he had always been a little worried about Ye Li's Qi Lin. Although Qilin hadn't made any moves, their reputation of never missing a target cast a shadow of uneasiness in his heart. If Helian Peng's Yazi could restrain Qi Lin, he would naturally have less scruples when leading the army into battle.
Looking at the sky that was about to brighten, Yelu Ye sighed in disappointment and said, "Looks like it's not impossible."
Helian Peng's face did not show any anxiety, and said indifferently, "Your Highness does not need to worry, these people's failure is expected. If the Mohist army can't even deal with this small accident, then the Mohist army is too weak. This time, I just want to know how strong the Mohist army's Qi Lin is. "
Hearing Helian Peng's words, Yelu Ye also relaxed. He said, "Helian, it's good that you know. Although Ye Li is a woman, she is not as easy to deal with as Mo Xiuyao. Helian, you must be careful. "
"Oh?" Helian Peng looked at Yelu Ye with some surprise. He was surprised that Yelu Ye valued Ye Li so much. Even if Yelu Ye did not say it, he would definitely not underestimate Ye Li.
Yelu Ye smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I also only figured it out in the past two days. Ren Qining lost to Ye Li … … I'm afraid that when Ren Qining first arrived in Glass City, Ye Li had already started scheming. These are all things that Mo Xiuyao and Xu Qingchen cannot interfere with. Also, when Ye Li defeated Lei Zhenting in the Northwest, many people say it was an accident. However, there is a saying in the Central Plains that when many accidents are stacked together, they are no longer accidents, but premeditated. "
Helian Peng nodded in agreement. "Your Highness is right. In the past two years, I have also seriously studied the battle where Ye Li defeated Lei Zhenting. It was clearly Ye Li deliberately showing weakness, luring Lei Zhenting's army into the hinterland and cutting off his supplies from the rear. She even gave up Xinyang City to destroy the Xiling Army's most elite forces. Lei Zhenting's defeat was not unjust. Princess Ding is a woman, but her foresight, scheming, decisiveness, and courage are all perfect. If not for the fact that she is a woman, I'm afraid there would be one more contender for hegemony in the Central Plains. "
The two of them fell silent. When they thought about the current situation, they could not help but sigh. The Central Plains was truly a land of heroes. If the Northern Tribes wanted to conquer the Central Plains, the road ahead would be difficult.
"Reporting to Your Highness, General Helian, the men we sent out last night have returned." Someone reported from outside the tent.
Yelu Ye stood up and asked, "How many came back?"
The guard outside the tent hesitated for a moment before replying, "Your Highness, only one person came back."
"One person?" Not only Yelu Ye, but even Helian Peng was shocked. Although they had talked about Ya Zi's defeat tonight, it could be considered a lesson for his arrogant subordinates. But even Helian Peng did not expect that only one person would come back alive. Originally, he had thought that even if these people could not defeat the Mohist army, they would at least be able to escape.
"Let him in!" Helian Peng said in a low voice.
Not long after, a black clothed man walked in, looking disheveled. He knelt in front of Yelu Ye and Helian Peng. "This subordinate greets Your Highness, General."
Helian Peng frowned and asked, "What happened?"
The black clothed man recounted what had happened last night. It turned out that this black clothed man was the last one to be knocked unconscious by Zhuo Jing in the forest. At that time, Zhuo Jing did not hit him too hard, so it did not take long for him to win. He stumbled out of the forest, and when he returned to the Northern Tribes camp, the sky was already bright.
Helian Peng and Yelu Ye's expressions turned even uglier. How was this the last one who had escaped? This last one was obviously the Mohist army deliberately letting him go so that he could report back. When the black clothed man finished speaking, Helian Peng stood up and slashed his sword across the black clothed man's neck. The black clothed man's eyes widened, and he fell to the ground, dying with his eyes wide open. He did not die in the hands of the enemy, but in the end, he died in the hands of the person who had trained him.
