Murong Feng and Murong Jun remained silent for a long time after Qin Yi had left the military camp.
After a while, Murong Feng finally spoke, "Ninth Brother, from today onwards, I, your Fifth Brother, will fight by your side. Don't worry, with me around, I'll definitely help you ascend to the throne smoothly! "
"Me too!"
Murong Jun was not to be outdone. He quickly added, "Although my brain is not as good as yours, I will never be careless when it comes to killing enemies! From now on, you can treat me as one of your generals! Leave the matter of charging and breaking through enemy lines to me! "
Murong Yu could not help but smile bitterly to himself when he saw the sudden change in attitude between the two men.
He had originally planned to make these two people submit to him wholeheartedly by himself. However, he did not expect that after Qin Yi revealed his extraordinary side, the two of them would not dare to have any crooked ideas.
Honestly speaking, although he had successfully solved his problem, he did not feel any sense of accomplishment at all.
Murong Yu gently shook his head at the two's defection. Then, he walked out of the camp and went to rest, minding his own business.
...
The next morning, Qin Yi and the others woke up early and walked out of the military camp. At this moment, they looked completely different.
Without a doubt, they had used the Thousand Trickery Talisman to disguise themselves as the assassins from the night before.
"Do you remember what I taught you last night?"
Qin Yi turned around and looked at the only survivor that he had left alive the night before. After talking with him, he found out that his name was Gao Jun. He was one of the two hundred Special Forces elites that Huang Chengji had brought with him. Their mission was to carry out assassinations and gather intelligence.
When he heard Qin Yi's question, Gao Jun immediately nodded and replied, "I've memorized everything."
Qin Yi said, "That's great! When you get there, it will depend on your acting skills whether you can convince others or not. Let me remind you that if you are exposed, we have our own ways of escaping but you will definitely die. "
Gao Jun's expression instantly turned somewhat ugly. After a moment of silence, he finally nodded his head, his eyes filled with firm confidence. Evidently, he knew that even though he had narrowly escaped death last night, the true test was far from over. If he wanted to live, he had to rely on himself.
Then, Qin Yi turned to look at Ning Qiancheng and Fang Lei, who were not disguised. "Senior Brother, Fang Lei, are you clear about the task I gave you last night?"
Ning Qiancheng nodded and said, "Everything is clear. As long as you lead the enemy to the designated location, we will not let them return!"
"Alright!"
Qin Yi said with satisfaction, "Our plan has officially begun."
…
For this invasion, Huang Chengji brought ten thousand men from the Silver Snow Country.
Almost every one of these ten thousand men was an elite. Among them, the strongest was at the seventh level of the Dao Tribulation Realm, and the weakest was at the first level of the Dao Tribulation Realm.
There was no doubt that such an elite troop, even if they were few in number, was enough to crush the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Northern Yuan Empire.
Moreover, Huang Chengji himself was a half-step Heaven Realm expert, and he had many trusted aides at the ninth level of the Dao Tribulation Realm. It was enough for them to deal with any force here.
At this moment, Huang Chengji's invasion army was stationed at the edge of the desert outside the territory of the Ninth Prince, Murong Yu. Although they had formed an alliance with Murong Ping, they were actually separated from Murong Ping's army at the beginning of the battle.
As for the reason, of course, it was because he wanted to survey the mineral veins and the distribution of other resources in these four areas while the army was marching.
This was so that after the end of the war, they could quickly occupy a place with rich resources and mine the mineral veins they needed.
"Have the people we sent out last night returned?"
Huang Chengji sat firmly in the commander's tent and looked up at the middle-aged man in armor beside him.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "No."
Huang Chengji frowned slightly and said, "The order I gave them was that regardless of success or failure, they must withdraw from the enemy's encampment within two hours. Could it be that this group of people have been exposed and killed? "
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment and then said, "The experts we sent out are very strong in this place. I think that even if the operation failed, they couldn't have been completely annihilated there. "
Huang Chengji lowered his gaze. There was no sadness or joy on his face. After a long time, he spoke again and said, "Go take a look."
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, but in the end, he still cupped his fists and said, "Yes!"
With that, he turned around and prepared to leave. But at this moment, someone came to report that the people who had carried out the operation last night had returned.
Immediately, he reported the matter to his master.
Huang Chengji frowned slightly and then said, "Let them in."
"Yes!"
Soon, Gao Jun and the others walked in from outside the tent. All of them looked very disheveled, and there were many wounds on their bodies.
As soon as they entered, Gao Jun was the first to kneel. The three people behind him hurriedly knelt as well.
Huang Chengji raised his head and looked at them, but he didn't speak first. Instead, he used his eyes to size them up and down. Finally, his eyes fixed on Gao Jun, and he looked at him for a long time.
Obviously, this old fox was still suspicious of them. Fortunately, Qin Yi had already expected this move. He left Gao Jun alive and let him cover for everyone.
After a while, Huang Chengji finally spoke, "Why are you so nervous?"
"We failed the mission and are afraid of punishment from the Marshal."
Gao Jun trembled as he explained to Huang Chengji.
A cold light flashed in Huang Chengji's eyes, but his tone didn't change at all. "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Gao Jun said, "The enemy seemed to be prepared. We were discovered as soon as we went over."
Huang Chengji said indifferently, "You are specially trained warriors. You are best at assassination and infiltration. Even if the enemy was vigilant, they couldn't have discovered you. What exactly happened? Hurry up and tell me the truth! "
Gao Jun was startled by his dignified voice and hurriedly said, "Our infiltration was very smooth, and the assassination was also very smooth. But we didn't expect the enemy to use a substitute and put another soldier on his bed. We only discovered this after we took action, but it was already too late by then. "
Huang Chengji fell into silence, obviously thinking about the authenticity of the other party's words. As he pondered, he also examined Gao Jun with a scrutinizing gaze. One had to admit that he was indeed very suspicious.
