Cypress Boat Floating

In an empty corner, a figure sneaked out of the tent, thinking that no one would notice and he could leave smoothly.

Unexpectedly, a man suddenly walked out from the side and shouted, "Who! There's a thief! Someone, there's a thief!"

Hearing this voice, the people who were resting nearby ran out without even putting on their shoes. When they came out, they only saw a figure flashing in front of them, and on the other side was a man with an anxious look on his face.

"Why are you still standing there? Follow me and chase after him." After saying that, the man walked in front and followed the figure.

The people around looked at each other, seemingly still not reacting. Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted, "Hurry up and chase them! What are you guys standing there for?"

They reacted instantly, and people crowded around, one or two of them picked up the weapons beside them and ran after the man.

The man took a quick glance and saw that there were about 15 or 16 people behind him. He nodded with satisfaction and pointed to the dark area ahead. He said to encourage everyone, "The figure just now ran forward. The camp ahead is the commander's tent. I'm afraid that person wants to take this opportunity to hurt the commander. We can't let him succeed."

"We can't let him succeed." Another voice rang out from the crowd. Everyone was holding various weapons in their hands, including knives, guns, bows, etc. Their faces showed expressions of indignation and they were very excited.

The man led the group of people into the darkness, constantly encouraging the people behind him with words along the way, with an extremely angry attitude. However, if you look closely at himself, his eyes are full of mockery, and he is extremely calm, without any emotional turmoil.

call out.

Suddenly, when they reached a certain place, the torch in the leading man's hand was extinguished.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" someone in the crowd exclaimed.

"Don't move, don't panic, the torch is just out, I'll go take a look." The leading man spoke to comfort them.

In the pitch-black darkness, many people were terrified, but they did not dare to move around because of the orders given, so they had to be on high alert.

It’s quiet, so quiet that it’s scary.

The wind blew, lifting up the sand around them and causing it to fall on their feet and hands, but they had no time to pay attention.

"Sir, sir, what should we do now?" A soldier did not know the man who had just taken the lead. He was obviously afraid at this moment, but he could only pin his hopes on that stranger.

No one answered him. The breathing sounds around him were gradually weakening. He was too nervous, so nervous that he knew nothing and noticed nothing. He stared at the darkness in front of him.

He vaguely recalled that when he was a child, it was even darker than this. He hid at the door and wanted to go out to take a look, but was stopped by his grandma. Grandma said there were wild beasts and wolves outside that would eat people.

When people are nervous, they will unconsciously secrete appropriate amount of saliva to relieve the tension. The saliva in his mouth obviously exceeded the so-called "appropriate" amount. After swallowing the saliva, he licked his lips unconsciously. The knife in his hand was given to him by his father. He couldn't understand the expression on his father's face when he knew he was joining the army, but he didn't seem very happy.

His father gave him the knife he used to kill wild wolves, hoping that the knife could protect him. Now that he holds the knife tightly in his hand, he feels that his father is also with him.

He held the knife high, defending against the darkness in front of him, looking nervous, as if he would be swallowed by the darkness if he blinked.

Suddenly, out of silence, a dagger appeared on his neck.

"Now." The voice appeared beside his ear, and the action was very ambiguous, but this action did not bring him tenderness, but a kind of fear as if being entangled by a poisonous snake.

It was a strange sound, one that shouldn't have appeared in the desert.

"You can die now." The voice sang in a low voice like a devil, peeling his soul off this dirty body and leading him to a higher heaven.

Blood, spurting.

The dry sand greedily absorbed the blood that fell on the ground, which was also a resource for it.

"Count the number of people." After the last one was dealt with, Ye Jianqing put away the skylark, clapped his hands, and a few people jumped out from the surroundings. These were the remaining people Ye Jianqing had ordered to ambush here.

"Fifteen people, some of them should be veterans, with a strong sense of resistance." Arnold walked out from them, and it was obvious that he was the man who had taken the lead just now.

This was a targeted, premeditated murder.

Ye Jianqing plays the intruder, and Arnold's role tonight is the person who discovers the intruder.

He shouted at the first moment to attract most of the people, while the other two mixed in. When they saw that others were hesitant, they loudly echoed Arnold and fished in troubled waters.

At this time, someone would definitely follow Arnold out to check, and Arnold, the leader, would bring them to the ambush point. After Ye Jianqing extinguished the torch, the people in ambush would stay in the positions according to their memory, and take the opportunity to attack and kill the opponents one by one in secret.

Fortunately, tonight's plan was successful, we were not discovered, and no one had the opportunity to call others.

"These are all people from the Left Camp. If they attack tomorrow, there will definitely be panic as the Left Camp needs to make up for the lack of manpower. Let's see if we can lure them out in batches and kill them tonight." While the others were cleaning up the bodies, Ye Jianqing and Arnold stood aside to rest.

"I can kill those generals." Arnold was as straightforward as ever.

"If possible, the decapitation operation must be carried out, but the premise of this execution is full confidence. It is estimated that they will not delay the attack on Beiguan City for too long, at the latest in one or two days. We have to hurry up." Ye Jianqing rubbed his forehead. In the era of cold weapons, strategy is the most important.

She wanted to protect as many people as possible who came with her, and she also wanted to take over the west directly. Obviously, the difficulty had increased several times, but she had to do it. If she wanted to do this, then a decapitation operation must be carried out.

She regretted that she was too arrogant and wanted to play guerrilla warfare with the enemy without studying the battlefield well, completely forgetting that the terrain here was not suitable for such a game. However, although they were few in number now, the command power was completely in her hands and would not be dispersed, and the team was united.

But there are many soldiers and commanders in the desert, and it is hard to say whether they are of one mind. Maybe she can use this to reduce some of the opponent's health.

Ye Jianqing: "I'm wondering if it's feasible to bring everyone into the camp."

"?" Arnold was puzzled.

Ye Jianqing was very conflicted. She really wanted to do her best to protect these children. "So many people have died. If you and I go back alone, it will definitely arouse suspicion. If these children are left outside and are discovered, they will die. But if they follow us in, they will be discovered by others and it will be difficult for them to escape, which is also death."

"What does your next plan require them to do? What you should consider is the feasibility and completion of your plan, not the life and death of these people. Everyone can die, including me." Arnold's tone was very calm and indifferent. He really didn't care about these people's lives, including his own.

In his opinion, as long as Ye Jianqing was alive, anyone present could die for her.

Ye Jianqing was not surprised by Arnold's words. Arnold's growth was not healthy, so it was normal for him to think like this. But Ye Jianqing hoped that he could change, even a little bit. She didn't want Arnold to treat human life as worthless and trample on it at will: "No, while completing the plan, we should consider everyone's life. We are all human beings, not weeds on the roadside, not animals that can be slaughtered casually. People are human beings because they have their own dignity, their own ideas, and their own thinking. Arnold, I don't need anyone to die for me, and neither do you.

I will do my best to protect you all.”

Arnold looked at her for a long time, as if he was thinking about what she had just said, or thinking about something else, so long that Ye Jianqing felt like she was about to yawn. He then slowly spoke with a serious and sincere tone: "I will help you."

"I know Arnold will definitely help me." Ye Jianqing smiled at him. Her smile was bright and beautiful. It was the smile that Arnold remembered his sister as.
