Chapter Nineteen

  Tang Yin in another world

  Pfft! Tang Yin was so furious that he almost spat out blood. There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. No wonder this woman not only promoted herself to be the commander of a thousand men, but also gave away her treasured sword - it turned out she wanted to use him as cannon fodder! What a sinister and cunning woman with deep schemes! If there weren't so many powerful warriors around, he would have already burst into loud curses.

  She gazed at Tang Yan with her enchanting eyes, as calm as a autumn lake, and said pitifully: "I think General Tang won't refuse my request to take over in this critical moment, will he?"

  She could enchant others, but not Tang Yin. The latter, however, couldn't help but respond, and he could sense that if he refused, it would be difficult for him to leave the military tent again.

  "Haha!" Tang Yin suddenly laughed and nodded, saying: "General Wu is extremely kind to his subordinates. I am grateful and will do my best to fulfill the mission, even if it's extremely dangerous."

  His words were full of sarcasm, and it was unclear whether Mei had really not heard or was pretending to be nonchalant. She patted Tang Yin's shoulder with a profound tone: "I indeed didn't misjudge General Tang." As she spoke, her body leaned forward, close to Tang Yin, and she whispered in his ear with a gentle voice: "If General Tang is willing, he can stay tonight."

  Even in modern times, there are few women who can say such an active invitation. Tang Yin was not stupid and could hear the meaning behind it. He raised his eyebrows, looked at Wu Mei, lowered his voice, but said with a big smile: "I'm not good at serving women, I'm only good at killing people." After finishing speaking, he didn't look at Wu Mei again, stood up suddenly, walked towards the outside of the tent while saying: "I understand what General Wu means, I'll take my leave first and wait for your orders at any time."

  Dance enchantress was not angry because of Tang Yin's naked refusal, but instead sighed softly. After Tang Yin left, she waved her hand tiredly to the others in the tent and said: "You all go down too!"

  "Yes! General" The crowd bowed and retreated from the military tent.

  At this time, there were only two people left in the account, Wu Mei and Wu Ying.

  "This Tang Yin is quite special!" Wu Mei said.

  Wu Ying didn't dare to say yes or no, and opened her mouth to say: "But you pushed him into the fire pit."

  The dancing girl lowered her head, speechless for a long time.

  Wu Ying looked at her elder sister in puzzlement and asked: "I don't know why you chose him, you can clearly see that his spiritual energy cultivation is not high!"

  "But I think it will only succeed if he goes."

  Wu Ying looked deeply at Wu Mei for a moment, then fell silent.

  Leaving the military account, Tang Yin returned to his residence with a burning heart.

  As soon as he saw him, Qiu Zhen immediately came up and asked anxiously: "What does General Wu want you for?"

  "What a wonderful thing!" Tang Yin sarcastically said: "A huge wonderful thing."

  "Ah?" Qiu Zhen's curiosity grew even more, and she asked again: "What is it exactly?"

  Tang Yin burst out laughing and told Qiu Zhen all about the seductive ghost's plan in detail.

  Qiu Zhen's eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed, "What? Isn't this asking us to go die?"

  Yes! It's going to be a death sentence! Tang Yin smiled and asked, "Qiu Zhen, do you still think it's worth celebrating that I was promoted to Qianfu Zhang?"

  In an instant, Qiu Zhen's cold sweat flowed out. This was no small matter, nor a joke. With his own hundred or so men attacking the central area of the enemy's stronghold, it was simply crazy!

  Seeing his face change suddenly, silent and speechless, Tang Yin's anger in his heart actually subsided. He said with a half-joking tone: "You're not always boasting that you're knowledgeable and well-read? Now it's time to use you, would you please help me come up with a plan to save my life?"

  "This...this..." Qiu was indeed a good strategist, but even the most skilled housewife can't cook without rice. Even when both sides have equal manpower, the attacking side is at a disadvantage compared to the defending side. What's more, our side only has over a hundred people, how can we attack the enemy's thousands? Not to mention making contact with the enemy, I'm afraid before we even get close, we'll already be shot into hedgehogs by the enemy's arrow formation.

  He was like a deflated balloon, sitting on the ground with his buttocks, unable to speak for a long time.

  After a long while, he lifted his head and stared straight at Tang Yin, saying: "Now if you want to save your life, there's only one way!"

  "What's the plan?"

  "Run!" Qiu Zhen said in a low voice after looking around and seeing no one nearby.

  "Run?" Tang Yin shook his head and smiled bitterly. A woman as cunning and deep as Xiang Wu Mei wouldn't possibly not guard against this move, would she? If he were alone, perhaps there might still be a chance to escape, but if he brought Qiu Zhen and the over hundred brothers with him, it was fundamentally impossible to succeed.

  He sighed helplessly, thinking that whether it was friendship, love or family ties, as long as he had invested emotions, it would be a trouble. Like before when he was alone and carefree, doing whatever he wanted, but now things were different. Although he hadn't known Qiu Zhen and the others for long, he couldn't let go of them anymore.

  "What will be the consequences if I desert and get caught?"

  "Oh... it's, it's a military execution!" Qiu Zhen said with an ugly expression. In the Wind Country, deserting in battle was a serious crime, and according to military law, those who were captured would be beaten to death with rods.

  Tang Yin shook his head and said, "We can't run away, and even if we could, it would be useless. If we really have to attack the Ningguo Pass, then there's no chance of survival at all?"

  Qiu Zhen smiled bitterly: "How can there be any hope of survival? Even if we could get in touch with the enemy, it would be difficult. You know that Ning Guo's arrow array is unparalleled in the world. We only have over a hundred people, and we don't have heavy armor or shields, nor do we have fast horses to charge into battle. I'm afraid as soon as we show our heads, we'll be shot dead by the enemy's arrows!"

  Recalling the arrow array of Ning's army in Xianyin Valley, Tang Yin still had lingering fear. He thought for a moment and said: "Then think of a way to get close to the enemy, preferably to their commander." Capturing the leader first is perhaps the only way to save our lives.

  Qiu Zhen scratched his hair with force and said: "Let me think, let me think..."

  Tang Yin chuckled and fell to the ground, closing his eyes and saying, "You think slowly, I'll sleep first."

  "Sleep? You can still sleep now?" Qiu Zhen looked at Tang Yin in disbelief.

  "No matter what, there will definitely be a fierce battle tomorrow, and it's not possible to replenish energy beforehand." Tang Yin himself was a crazy person, so no matter how crazy things got, he could handle them calmly.

  Qiu Zhen's eyes rolled around, his heart surged with uncertainty. Finally, he clenched his fists and seemed to make a great decision. He leaned over to Tang Yin and whispered: "Tang big brother, actually... you can run away by yourself. Even if you escape, I think General Wu won't make things difficult for us."

  Tang Yan opened one eye, glanced at Qiu Zhen and said: "Yes, it won't be difficult for you, but you will also end up dead. Either you'll continue to be used as bait or stay here and eventually be surrounded and killed by the Ning people who are coming."

  Qiu Zhen bit his lip, he had to admit that Tang Yin was right.

  "You just think of a good strategy, don't worry about my affairs. Now I really need to sleep, don't disturb me again." Tang Yin closed his eyes and soon even breathing sounds were heard.

  Alas! Looking at Tang Yin, who had truly fallen asleep, Qiu Zhen felt a sense of despair and frustration. In this world, it was so difficult to find someone worthy of her assistance, who would also accept her help. She had thought that following Tang Yin would bring her some accomplishment, but in the end... she feared that by tomorrow, they would be meeting again in the underworld. What a pity, fate was indeed cruel!

  No matter how Qiu Zhen felt, Tang Yin slept soundly that night, and it was also the most stable sleep in recent days.

  The next morning, Tang Yin woke up refreshed and rejuvenated. He looked at Qiu Zhen, whose eyes were bloodshot and who looked dispirited and listless. It was clear that he had been tortured for the entire night.

  Tang Yin stood up, stretched his limbs, and took a few mouthfuls of water from the flask. He then walked over to Qiu Zhen and asked, "Have you come up with a good plan?"

  Qiu Zhen nodded silently and said, "The only way to get close to the enemy camp is to disguise ourselves as Ning soldiers. As for getting close to the enemy general, it's all about luck, but the chances are slim." Saying it was slim was already being polite; in Qiu Zhen's estimation, there was no possibility of encountering the enemy general at all.

  "Disguise!" Tang Yin muttered to himself, quietly pondering Qiu's plan. After a moment, he nodded and said, "Well, this is a good idea! I'll go find that woman and see if she can get her hands on Ning Bing's clothes."

  Qiu Zhen knew that Tang Yin's 'that woman' referred to Wu Mei. He said, "Tang big brother, are we really going to Ningguo checkpoint?"

  Tang Yin shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Of course. But it's not us, it's me."

  Qiu Zhen didn't understand what he meant and asked: "What?"

  Tang Yin said seriously: "This trip is extremely dangerous, and it's likely that there will be more bad luck than good. You should stay here and break through with the dancing sisters, don't follow me."

  Qiu Zhen looked at Tang Yin with a serious expression and asked: "Brother Tang, do you think I'm a coward who fears death?"

  It's actually people like that! Tang Yin muttered to himself, but naturally wouldn't say it out loud. He said: "You can't use spiritual martial arts, even if you go, you won't be of much help, and I'll have to divide my attention to take care of you."

  "Tang wants to go alone?"

  "One man is no match for them, I'll bring other brothers along!"

  "Why throw me away?"

  "I just don't want to..." Tang Yin said with a smile.
