steal light

On this day, Jiang Shutian left the tent before dawn and did not come back until evening. Ye Donglan stayed by Ah Zhe's side without lighting a lamp. Jiang Shu lit a candle and stood behind Ye Donglan, hesitating to speak.

"Young Master Ye."

Ye Donglan turned his head, his face was sallow, his eyes were deeply black, and he looked haggard.

"I'm going out tonight. If I haven't returned by dawn, take Ah Zhe and leave the barracks and go west. Someone will take you south to the capital."

Jiang Shu wasn't much better either, his tone of voice could not conceal the tiredness.

"What is Mr. Jiang talking about? How could he not come back?"

Jiang Shu sighed, "It's almost winter."

Ye Donglan didn't understand, so Jiang Shu continued, "It's snowing season in the northern wilderness, and the northern barbarians have no way out, so they came here with the intention of fighting to the death."

"As for our soldiers, if they are not suitable for the environment in northern Xinjiang, they will die if they survive."

Therefore, the generals discussed for many days and decided on a countermeasure. Jiang Shu will lead his troops to surprise the enemy camp tonight.

Ye Donglan didn't understand what happened on the battlefield, but he could hear how dangerous it was. A surprise attack on the enemy's camp was called surprise attack at best, and death at worst.

No one knew what it was like in the barracks of the Northern Barbarians.

Jiang Shu also knew in his heart that this trip was extremely dangerous, with uncertainties, and if there was a slight mistake, the whole body might not be left behind.

"Why do you want Mr. Jiang to go?"

Ye Donglan didn't expect it to be like this, he is the son of the general, how could he be allowed to do such a dangerous thing.

"Because I saved Ah Zhe."

Because Jiang Shu rescued Ah Zhe, the people behind Jiang's family were a little dissatisfied, so Jiang's father could only send him to do such a task. Jiang's father meant to let Jiang Shu leave the scene in time, but Jiang Shu didn't intend to do this Do.

Whether it is life or death, it has its own destiny, and he can't do it without leaving his dead brother. He wants to use this kind of action to prove that he feels that he has done nothing wrong.

"It's too late, I won't tell you, just do as I say, I'm leaving."

Jiang Shu turned and left the tent.

Ye Donglan looked at the drowsy Ah Zhe, took the candle lighted by Jiang Shu, went to the desk and wrote something, took out a cage from behind the tent, and the white dove flew into the sky in the night sky, heading south.

Ye Donglan extinguished the lights in the tent, and wore a black robe to blend into the thick night.

The candles in the enemy camp were brightly lit, and bonfires were lit all over the ground. The northern barbarians gathered together, drinking and eating meat.

"I thought how powerful the royal family's army could be, but that's all."

"I heard that their prince almost died on the battlefield."

"Hahahahahaha, I see that this year I can live a comfortable winter."

Jiang Shu led 50 people prostrate on the ground outside the enemy camp, not even daring to breathe hard, they were waiting for the time to move out.

There are more and more stars in the sky, twinkling brightly, the night wind is gradually sharpening, and the temperature drops accordingly, Jiang Shu gritted his teeth, feeling the coolness of the ground wrapping him through his robe.

The night was getting darker and darker, and when it was almost midnight, the bonfire was burnt out and only ashes were left. The northern barbarian entered the tent, snoring loudly.

Jiang Shu waved his hand, and the fifty people got up quietly one after another. Two of them took the lead and killed the soldiers at the gate of the barracks.

Soon, a black figure also flashed into the barracks and ran in another direction.

Suddenly, the granary barn caught fire, and drunken soldiers came out of the camp one after another, still half asleep and half awake. After a while, the sound of firefighting resounded through the enemy camp.

And Jiang Shu had led his people out, looking at the fire that lit up the night from a distance.
