Bright Sword: Conquer the monk at the beginning and take down Zhou Weiguo

He stopped talking, quietly waiting to see how the situation would develop. He knew Qin Cang had already made his decision, and the signal meant they were ready to move forward no matter what. Liu San's thinking was incredibly fast, but at this moment, he had no intention of intervening, leaving all the actions to Qin Cang.

The oppressive feeling in the air grew stronger, and the surrounding darkness seemed to creep closer. Qin Cang grasped the other corner of the code bag, applying a slight pressure with his fingertips. He could already feel the weight of the information within. Each code represented a choice, a decision. And at this moment, this decision was irreversible.

"Xiao Hu," Qin Cang said with a hint of determination, "Tell them."

Xiaohu took a deep breath, his eyes flickering back and forth between the code bag and Qin Cang. He was mentally calculating: once the code was passed, it would mean all the team members would know their decision, leaving them with no room for retreat. The code symbolized the decision, uniting everyone's will and goals.

However, Xiaohu did not rush to act. He hesitated for a moment, as if feeling a little uneasy. He tightly grasped the code bag, his fingers trembling slightly.

"Captain..." Xiaohu said, a hint of hesitation in his voice, "Should we reconsider this? The enemy's defense line..."

Qin Cang suddenly turned his head, his eyes fixed firmly on Xiao Hu. He knew Xiao Hu's concern, and he also felt the tension and uneasiness deep within his heart. However, he wouldn't allow himself to look back again. He knew that when an opportunity presented itself, it had to be seized, not hesitated at the crucial moment.

"There's no time." Qin Cang's tone was cold and firm, "We can't turn back."

Xiao Hu was stunned by Qin Cang's gaze, and the uneasiness in his heart suddenly became even heavier. But in the captain's eyes, he saw something different: a convincing determination, an uncompromising resolve. At this moment, he knew that following Qin Cang, there was no turning back.

"Xiaohu, take action." Qin Cang's voice was like an order, instantly breaking all hesitation.

Xiaohu nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and quickly handed the code bag to another team member beside him, whispering Qin Cang's decision. Throughout the team, every member's eyes became more focused, and their heartbeats seemed to become heavier at this moment. The transmission of the code signaled that they had to give it their all.

As the secret code was passed, an invisible bond tied everyone's fate together. At this moment, Qin Cang seemed to be able to feel the fluctuations in the team members' hearts. Their will began to gather into a huge force. No matter what happened next, everyone was mentally prepared.

Liu San remained standing, his eyes unwavering. His silence seemed a tacit acceptance of Qin Cang's decision. He also knew that this time, Qin Cang was no longer the commander who was filled with doubts before every action. He had made his decision, and now, all actions would move forward towards the goal he had set.

"Captain," Xiaohu whispered again, with an eager and determined tone, "Ready, move!"

Qin Cang took a deep breath, finally holding the code bag firmly in his hand. All his thoughts seemed to freeze at this moment. His eyes became sharper, and the turmoil in his heart gradually calmed down, as if everything around him was providing him with strength.

He glanced at Liu San, a flicker of disdain in his eyes, but he said nothing more. Liu San was the epitome of calm and rationality, while he, Qin Cang, was the leader of this team, with the final decision in his hands. At this moment, he had no time to think about anything else but one goal: to break through the enemy lines.

"Action!" Qin Cang shouted softly, and led the team to rush towards the weakest point of the enemy camp.

Qin Cang's resolve ignited, his nerves straining to a taut chord. His gaze fixed on the front, his mind clearly taking in every shift in his surroundings. The subtle fluctuations in the air seemed to freeze at that moment, and each step was taken with care, as if leaving no room for error. However, just as he was about to lead the team forward, his eyes narrowed slightly, secretly sensing something amiss.

Liu San, who was not far away, still maintained his leisurely pace, and the rhythm of his steps did not change. However, Qin Cang keenly discovered that two figures vaguely emerged in the shadows behind Liu San and followed him silently.

"Liu San." Qin Cang's voice was low and calm, but his eyes were fixed on the two approaching figures. His fingers trembled slightly, and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

Liu San's back remained calm, seemingly unaware of the followers not far behind him. His pace remained steady and clear, as if he had grown accustomed to this situation. His gaze remained as unhurried as ever, not even turning back to notice the changes behind him.

Yet, Qin Cang suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of crisis. He knew Liu San's alertness well, and it would be uncharacteristic of him not to notice the pursuers behind him. But the situation before him made it impossible for him to ignore it.

"He didn't notice." Qin Cang muttered to himself, his doubts growing stronger. Just as he was thinking about what to do, suddenly, a faint chuckle came to his ears.

Xiaohu quietly approached him and whispered, "Captain, there seems to be some movement behind Liu San."

Qin Cang didn't respond, but stared deeply at Liu San's back, his brow furrowed and his eyes piercing. At this moment, he clearly felt the uneasiness growing in his heart. The enemy might have noticed their actions, but Liu San didn't. Was it a coincidence, or was it intentional?

"Xiao Hu, prepare a signal for me." Qin Cang said in a low voice, with a hint of determination in his voice.

Xiaohu nodded immediately and began to prepare quickly. His movements were swift and precise, and he secretly tucked the flare into his waist, ready to trigger at any time.

"Captain, what's wrong?" Liu San's voice suddenly came from the front. He finally turned his head and looked in the direction of Qin Cang. The expression on his face was still calm, but there was a sharp flash in his eyes.

Qin Cang took a deep breath and decided not to hide it anymore. "Liu San, I just noticed some movement behind you. Someone must be following us. Didn't you notice?"

Liu San's eyebrows raised slightly, a subtle hint of strangeness flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "I don't feel anything unusual." He paused, then added, "Are you sure?"
