Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
While the battle here was in full swing, Shan Yue’s five-person team with the mortars had already quietly hidden in Jiang Huai’s nest. A large portion of the people were taken away by Jiang Huai. They wanted to swallow Cang Xin in one go, so there naturally wouldn’t be too many people left in the army to guard it.
And it was precisely because of this that Shan Yue arranged for Chang Ling to divert their attention while she infiltrated the camp.
Under the weak light, seven black shadows quickly flashed past the wall. They were so fast that if one did not stare carefully, they would not be discovered at all.
The seven of them lay dormant in the corner and watched as the patrols passed wave after wave. In a short while, they figured out the interval between shifts. After learning this information, it was easier to carry out the next operation.
Shan Yue memorized all the buildings and numbers in front of her. Then, she waved her hand behind her and called Yu Feng, who was in charge of the backpack. “Open the bag and distribute what’s inside.”
“Don’t talk yet.” Before Yu Feng could finish speaking, Shan Yue immediately stopped him and raised her right fist, signaling everyone to stay where they were and not act rashly.
Shan Yue held her breath and took a few steps forward. Her entire movement was smooth and did not make any sound. Her ears twitched slightly, and she had already caught the sound of extremely light footsteps. Moreover, Shan Yue knew very well that this was definitely not a patrolling personnel.
Firstly, it was not time to change shifts yet. Secondly, the sound of footsteps was definitely not the sound of a normal person walking. It had clearly been deliberately covered.
That left only one explanation. The noise she’d made when she’d just given her men their tasks had been detected.
When Shan Yue stuck her head out slightly, she indeed realized that two people were slowly approaching them. However, there was something that attracted Shan Yue’s attention. The two of them were clearly dressed differently from the patrolmen and were also wearing instant communication equipment.
“Hmph.” Shan Yue sneered and muttered to herself, “Jiang Huai, that sly old fox, indeed arranged for people to stay behind in the group. If anyone really dares to attack, the people who stay behind will send out the news immediately. At that time, Jiang Huai will immediately withdraw from Cang Xin and surround the people who ambushed the group. They’ll close the door and hit the dogs.”
However, no matter how good a plan was, it could not escape Shan Yue’s sharp eyes. Her lips curled up slightly, and she already had a solution in her heart.
The most direct and effective way was to get rid of the two people in front of her on the spot, so that they would not have the chance to send a message. The dead would never speak..
