Song Jinghuan shook his head. “It’s precisely because you’re the only one in your family that you can’t go.”
Liang Ping said, “My parents are still around, and I still have my sister-in-law. Even without me, there will still be people to continue the family line. I’ll go.”
“Your parents aren’t young anymore, right? Can you bear to let them send their children off? They raised you for nothing.”
It seemed that being the only one left wasn’t right, but having parents also made one unsuitable for the mission.
“My parents died last year, but I still have a younger brother at home. My younger brother has already started a family.”
“Shut up.” Song Jinghuan rolled her eyes. If she continued, she wouldn’t be able to find an excuse to stop them. “Am I the boss or are you the boss? Who do you listen to?”
“You’re the boss, but we don’t want to listen to you now.” they thought.
Song Jinghuan inexplicably understood what they were thinking and said angrily, “I’m small and won’t be easily discovered.”
She was annoyed that she had to expose her shortcomings.
The few of them shook their heads repeatedly. Most of the enemy soldiers had been lured away. If they were careful, they could avoid being discovered.
Song Jinghuan choked and felt her heart ache. She took off his small bag angrily and said, “Do you think I’m going to die? I led this mission. I’m confident that I can escape before the explosion. Are you confident in doing the same?”
The men paused and shook their heads.
“Then you can’t do it. Hurry up and wait for me at the place where the horses are stationed after you complete your mission.”
Tang Shun glanced at him and patted Sun Hao’s back. “Let’s go, we’ll listen to the little general.”
Sun Hao did not expect him to be so spineless. He was furious. “Tang Shun,
you… ”
Noticing Tang Shun’s ugly expression, he gritted his teeth. “Alright.”
If the little general did not come out in the end, he would bring his men and fight his way in. It would not be a loss to kill one, but it would be a gain to kill two. He would never abandon the little general.
Song Jinghuan didn’t know what they were up to. Seeing them leave with the deer they had caught in advance, she heaved a sigh of relief.
It was very simple to lure them away. They were all people who had stayed in the military camp for a long time. The military rules were strict and the food was poor. They would definitely not let go of prey that came Imocking on their door.
Sure enough, not long after, a group of people heard the commotion and left the camp. Right on the heels of that was a second group, and the gap in the patrolling team had gaps in it.
Song Jinghuan seized the opportunity and sneaked in when the patrol team turned the corner. She was small and could hide herself well anywhere.
After circling around, she placed her final target on the tent of the two men in black standing at the door.
“Fortunately, I had foresight,” Song Jinghuan muttered softly. She took out a bamboo tube from her bag, poured out two silver needles, and put them into the sleeve arrows on her wrist.
With a whoosh, two silver needles flew out.
The martial strength of the two men in black was clearly not low. They easily waved their swords to block the sneak attack.
They looked at each other.
One of them said, “Continue guarding here. I’ll go.”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the two of them fainted.
Song Jinghuan patted her chest in fear. Fortunately, she had used medicinal powder, and the knockout powder given by Sister MO Yuan was strong enough.
Unfortunately, the medicinal herbs were limited, so she didn’t give her much.
Song Jinghuan sighed regretfully. She bent down and helped the two of them sit outside the tent, making it seem like they were asleep.
After confirming that no one would notice, she lifted the curtain and entered the tent.
Under the moonlight, Song Jinghuan gasped when he saw the wooden boxes piled up inside.
If so much black gunpowder was thrown into Nanling Pass at once, it would blow up the city wall, right?
She did not think that the people of the Wu Kingdom could not bear to do it. With their previous fighting style, it was more like they were using it sparingly in the province.
However, even if it was used sparingly, it made things difficult for them.
Unfortunately, this thing was too heavy to carry.
Song Jinghuan sighed again. She pried open a box and took out an explosive. She placed it on the ground and took out a slender thread from her bag.
If Liu Jinbao was here, he would have recognized the thread that Song Jinghuan had asked him to get.
It was originally only the length of a palm, but Song Jinghuan twisted it into a long strip ana soaKea It In 011 In aavance.
She connected one end of the line to the fuse of black gunpowder and pulled the other end back to the entrance of the tent.
In order to prevent any other accidents from happening, she thought about it and did not go out in the end.
After lighting it, she still had at least ten seconds to leave this place!
Song Jinghuan clenched her fists and took out another bamboo tube. She took out a matchstick and blew on it gently. A beam of flames instantly jumped up. The firelight shone on her face, and it was obvious that her face was pale. Her forehead was already covered in sweat..
