Chapter 226

Read the full text in Jinhua City.

After returning Zhang and Chu to Ning Jun, Shangguan Yuanrang and others were also discussing with Tang Yin whether the other party would keep its promise and withdraw the entire army from Jinguang County. From Tang Yin's point of view, with Cai Youling's trump card in his hand, there was no need to worry about Ning Jun not submitting.

Sure enough, that evening, the sentry on the tower came to report to Tang Yin, saying that Ning soldiers in the camp had begun to pack up the camp and gather their tents, and it seemed that they were preparing to withdraw. After hearing the news, Tang Yin was naturally overjoyed. He immediately took Shangguan Yuanrang and others to the top of the city to watch what was going on in the Ningjun camp.

As reported by his subordinates, the Ningjun camp is now very busy. Ningjun troops holding torches are coming in and out everywhere. The tents in many barracks have been demolished, exposing large open spaces. Tang Yin squinted his green night eyes and walked slowly on the city wall while looking up at the Ningjun camp.

Others may not be able to clearly see the situation in Ning Jun's camp, but he can. While looking at him, he nodded secretly in his heart. It was indeed what he expected. Zhan Wushuang still compromised after all.

Thinking about it, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, and the smile on his face deepened. Shen Zhichen was also watching, but he didn't have night eyes, and he didn't have eyesight as strong as Tang Yin. He watched for a long time and couldn't see clearly. However, seeing the smile on Tang Yin's face, he guessed that Ning Jun was indeed about to retreat. He rolled his eyes and murmured in a low voice: "Ning Jun won't cheat, right?"

He does not mean that. When Tang Yin heard this, he immediately stopped, looked back at Shen Zhichen, and asked, "What did General Shen say?"

Shen Zhichen frowned and said with concern: "I always feel that it is a bit abnormal for Ning's army to retreat like this. Every step forward for an army of 400,000 is a huge expense. Ning's army finally advanced to Jinguang County, and then with me The army has been in confrontation for so many days, and it is unbelievable that the entire army has chosen to withdraw just because of Cai Youling. No matter how unusual and important Cai Youling's identity is, the commander of the Ning army should not have made such a hasty decision to withdraw. Could it be that Ning's army retreated deliberately to confuse our army and make our army unprepared, and then take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack overnight? "

ah? After hearing what Shen Zhichen said, Tang Yin couldn't help but take a breath. What he said was not unreasonable! Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed abnormal for Zhan Wushuang to accept the conditions he offered so happily. Could it be that the Ning army was really pretending to retreat, but was actually planning a sneak attack at night?

Thinking of this, Tang Yin clenched his fists, and the green light in his eyes became even brighter, almost shining brightly. He nodded and said to the others: "General Shen's concerns are right. We cannot take it lightly just because Ning Jun seems to be withdrawing. We must strengthen our vigilance tonight!"

Shangguan Yuanrang and others' faces straightened, they all raised their hands and said, "Understood, sir."

"Also," Tang Yin rubbed his chin and said quietly: "It is not safe to imprison Cai Youling and others in Beicheng..." He did not expect that Ning Jun would send people to secretly rescue people, but thought that once Ning Jun came to attack, , Beicheng will definitely be the focus of the Ning army's attack. Cai Youling and others are imprisoned in Beicheng. What if they escape while they are in trouble?

Shen Zhichen asked: "Where do you think it is appropriate to imprison them?"

Tang Yin thought carefully for a moment and said: "I will temporarily imprison them in my big tent tonight, and I will take care of them nearby. I am not afraid of any problems."

"Yes, sir!" Shen Zhichen had no objection and bowed to take the order.

Tang Yin said to Shangguan Yuanrang again: "Yuanrang, please work harder tonight and help General Shen guard Beicheng."

"Yes!" Shangguan Yuanrang agreed simply.

After explaining everything that needed to be explained, Tang Yin stood on the top of the city and watched for a while, then led the people down the city wall and ordered them to return to their posts.

Not long after, Shen Zhichen personally led his soldiers to escort Cai Youling and four others to Tang Yin's tent.

The four people were two men and two women. Except for Cai Youling, the other three were Feng Yuze, Jin Lei and Shen Cuiling. Feng Yuze is the son of Grand Tutor Feng Cheng, Jin Lei is the son of Lieutenant General Jin Huan, and Shen Cuiling is the daughter of Lieutenant General Shen Fang. Among the four, Cai Youling and Feng Yuze certainly have the most prominent family backgrounds.

When they saw Tang Yin in casual clothes in the tent, the four of them were stunned. They didn't know what his purpose was in bringing the four of them here.

Seeing the four of them staring at him full of enemies and wariness, Tang Yin smiled, waved his hand and said, "Tonight, the four of you will stay in my big tent."

"Master Tang, what does this mean?" Cai Youling asked.

Tang Yin said slowly: "For your safety. I'm worried that there will be no peace in Jinhua City tonight."

Not understanding what he meant, Cai Youling didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he changed the topic and asked, "Where did you take Zhang Chu and the four of them?"

Tang Yin smiled and said: "Of course I will send them home!"

"Did you kill them?" Cai Youling and the other four asked in unison.

Tang Yin said: "Didn't you understand what I said? I sent them back to your Ning Army's camp." Seeing that the four of them looked shocked, he continued: "If Ning Army retreats obediently, the four of you will They will also be sent back together.”

Cai Youling thought for a moment and said in surprise: "You are using us to threaten General Wushuang?"

Tang Yin looked up and smiled and said, "You have such value, don't you?"

Cai Youling glared at Tang Yin, gritted her silver teeth, and said angrily: "Tang Yin, you are so despicable!"

Tang Yin said nonchalantly: "No matter what means you use on the battlefield, it is not despicable as long as you can achieve the final victory. It is despicable and mean to cause countless casualties of the soldiers under you because of the incompetence of the commander."

Cai Youling was so angry that she couldn't speak. In her opinion, it was impossible to make sense with Tang Yin.

Tang Yin was too lazy to talk to them. He stood up and walked behind the screen and said: "I sleep inside and you sleep outside. Don't think about escaping. The guards outside are strict. You can't fly out even if you turn into flies; don't think about plotting against me. I sleep very lightly. If you get too close to me, be careful that I will accidentally take your heads!"

As he spoke, he had walked behind the screen, lay on the bed, and slept with his clothes on.

Cai Youling, Feng Yuze, Jin Lei, and Shen Cuiling who stayed in the tent looked at each other and sighed at the same time. After all, Tang Yin had no intention of killing them now, which made them feel more or less relieved. Feng Yuze asked in a low voice: "Have Zhang Chu and the others really been released by Tang Yin? If so, then we will be released soon too!"

Cai Youling glanced at him and slowly lowered her head.

She was not as optimistic as Feng Yuze. Tang Yin could release Zhang Chu and the other four in order to make the Ning army outside the city withdraw. But once the Ning army really withdrew, it was not certain whether Tang Yin would release the four of his own.

At this time, Shen Cuiling sobbed softly again, and muttered intermittently: "If I had known this... I shouldn't have listened to my father and followed the army... If I hadn't come to Feng Country... I would still be at home in Liangzhou now..."

Shen Cuiling was the weakest among them. Since she was captured, she had been crying all day and complaining about everything. Cai Youling and others had long been tired of persuading her, and now seeing her crying again, no one paid attention to her.

The big tent was quiet, with only Shen Cuiling's low cry from time to time.

After a while, a gentle panting sound came from the screen. That was Tang Yin's call.

Cai Youling looked up at the screen, then looked around.

Tang Yin's tent was bare. There was nothing else. Except for the screen at the end, there was only a table in the tent, and there was no weapon hanging on the tent cloth. Her eyes kept rolling, and finally fell on the wine pot in the middle of the table.

It can be seen that the wine pot is made of pure copper. Although it is unknown how heavy it is, it is the only hard thing in the tent.

Cai Youling gritted her teeth, and then secretly pulled down Feng Yuze's sleeve. The latter turned his head and looked at her blankly. She first pointed at the table, then bent down and wrote the word "kill" on the ground with her index finger.

Feng Yuze was not a fool. After reading it, he immediately understood what she meant. She wanted to kill Tang Yin with the wine pot!

He was shocked and shook his head repeatedly at Cai Youling, indicating that it was inappropriate.

Cai Youling grabbed his arm hard, signaling him not to make a sound, then stood up and slowly walked to the table.

She walked carefully, afraid of making any noise. When she arrived at the table, she stood quietly for a while before slowly picking up the wine pot. The wine pot was in the air, but it was not light. It was heavy in her hand. If she smashed it on someone's head with all her strength, it would probably break the skull.

She stood quietly in front of the table for a while again, and heard the panting sound inside the screen was still gentle, then she grabbed the wine pot and quickly retreated.

At this time, Shen Cuiling stopped crying, and she and Jin Lei gathered around, looking at Cai Youling in shock and horror.

Cai Youling squatted down, handed the wine pot to Feng Yuze, and quickly wrote a few words on the ground: Smash Tang Yin to death, find a chance to escape!

Holding the wine pot handed to him by Cai Youling, Feng Yuze's hands were shaking. It was easy to say that he would kill Tang Yin with a wine pot, but what if he couldn't kill him? What if the guards outside the tent noticed and rushed over? He shook his head like a rattle, as if he had picked up a hot potato, and stuffed the wine pot back to Cai Youling.

After staring at him fiercely, Cai Youling cursed him for being useless in her heart, and then handed the wine pot to Jin Lei and wrote on the ground: Go kill Tang Yin.

Jin Lei's courage was not as good as Feng Yuze. When he saw her handing the wine pot to him, his face changed, his body leaned back, and he retreated like a snake.

Damn it! If he could speak now, Cai Youling would definitely point at their noses and curse.

Looking at Feng Yuze and Jin Lei, who were full of fear, and listening to the even breathing sound behind the screen, Cai Youling gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and made up his mind to do it himself. Even if he couldn't kill Tang Yin, it would be good to injure him and subdue him.
