Chapter 303 Falling into the trap
Seeing that the other party was about to die, Duan Tianyang loosened his hand that was tightly strangling his throat and asked again: "I'll ask you again, what is your secret code?"
The Jin soldier was panting. He looked at Duan Tianyang with horror on his face and stammered, "It's... it's Fanqin..."
"and then?"
"Destroy the flood..."
"You didn't lie?"
"No...don't dare..."
Duan Tianyang nodded slightly, then grabbed the other person's neck and broke it violently.
After they fell to the ground, Duan Tianyang hid the two bodies of the Jin soldiers in the hidden grass.
Then he took off a man's military badge, examined it carefully, and hung it around his waist. Then he transformed himself into the man's appearance, picked up a torch, and went deep into the woods.
The Jin army's camp was located in the forest, a wide open space that was very conspicuous and easy to find.
Duan Tianyang, wearing the Jin army's uniform and armor, arrived at the gate of the camp without any hindrance.
As he approached, the Jin soldier guarding the gate shouted sternly: "Secret code!"
"Fanqin destroyed the flood." Duan Tianyang answered calmly.
When he approached several Jin soldiers, one of them held a torch and shone it in his face, laughing and teasing, "It's Jiang Cong! How come you're back so soon? Didn't Qian Sun go out on patrol with you? Why didn't he come back?"
"There is a fight outside the forest. Qian Sun is observing over there. I will come back to report to the general!" Duan Tianyang reacted quickly and answered without hesitation.
Upon hearing the military intelligence, the Jin soldiers dared not say much and made way for Duan Tianyang to enter the camp.
Duan Tianyang waved to them, then pretended to walk hurriedly towards the central military tent in the center of the camp.
There was a straight and unobstructed road from the camp gate to the central military tent. Even though it was Duan Tianyang's first time entering the Jin army camp, he could easily find the location of the central military tent.
When he approached the central army tent, the Jin soldier guarding the gate reached out to stop him and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Jiang Cong. When I was patrolling just now, I discovered the enemy outside the forest, so I came here to report to the general." Duan Tianyang replied.
The Jin soldier guarding the tent checked the military badge on Duan Tianyang's waist and signaled him to enter.
Duan Tianyang responded, lifted the curtain, and quickly walked into the central military tent.
The lights in the central military tent were brightly lit. A man was sitting behind the desk in the center. He was sitting sideways, wearing white brocade clothes, holding a scroll in his hand. He had a gentle and refined temperament, which was far from the image of a majestic legion commander in people's minds.
Duan Tianyang had heard Gu Jianhong mention Tian Ye before and knew that he was a military general. Although he did not know martial arts, he came from a prominent family and his family enjoyed a very high reputation in the Jin Kingdom.
He stepped into the central military tent, glanced at the young man in brocade clothes sitting behind the commander's desk, and bowed respectfully, saying, "General, I have something important to report to you."
The young man in brocade clothes didn't even raise his head, his eyes still on the book in his hand, and simply responded: "Speak."
Duan Tianyang looked around and confirmed that they were the only two in the tent, then stepped forward and said, "General, I just saw someone fighting in the wheat field outside the forest."
The young man in brocade clothes waved his hand calmly and said, "I already know, you can leave now."
Just as Duan Tianyang bowed and was about to leave, he suddenly flashed and rushed towards the young man like an arrow.
The young man was still concentrating on reading when Duan Tianyang's sword had already slashed across his neck.
With a flash of the knife, a deep cut was made on the young man's neck and blood gushed out.
His eyes widened in astonishment, and the book in his hand fell.
Duan Tianyang had a blank expression on his face. He swung his knife back and chopped off the young man's head.
He quickly tore off the young man's cloak, wrapped the severed head around it, and tied it around his waist.
He did not expect things to go so smoothly. He suppressed his joy and was about to leave when the guards outside the tent noticed something was wrong and two Jin soldiers rushed in.
They were shocked when they saw the headless corpse on the ground and the blood bag on Duan Tianyang's waist.
The two shouted in unison: "There's an assassin!"
Before he finished speaking, Duan Tianyang had already rushed towards the two of them.
In the blink of an eye, he came in front of them, swung his sword left and right, and with two "thumps" sounds, two Jin soldiers were stabbed in the neck and fell to the ground.
Just as he fell, another Jin soldier rushed in and asked quickly, "What happened?"
However, he came in quickly and left quickly, because Duan Tianyang kicked him out of the central military tent.
Duan Tianyang rushed out right after him, but as soon as he got out of the door, he was stunned.
There were not many Jin soldiers outside the central army tent, but now they were densely packed, surrounding the central army tent in three layers. The fire was bright and the crowd was surging.
Oh shit!
Fell into a trap!
He was startled and instantly realized that he had fallen into an ambush.
At this moment, a burst of laughter broke out among the Jin army.
Afterwards, the crowd parted and a group of Jin army officers walked out, led by a young man of about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. He was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing. He was wearing white brocade clothes and a white cloak on his back, exactly the same as the young man who was reading in the tent just now.
This young man in brocade clothes is none other than Tian Ye, deputy commander of the Eighth Legion of the Jin Army.
Tian Ye set a clever trap in the central army camp. He was not a prophet who foresaw that Duan Tianyang would come to assassinate him tonight, but he felt uneasy after assigning the personal guard camp to Chang Sheng.
He felt as if he was exposed to the enemy's blade. As an excellent commander, Tian Ye cleverly selected a Jin soldier of similar age and appearance to himself, asked him to change into his clothes, and let him sit in the central military tent.
He quietly moved to another tent not far away and summoned all the generals of the Jin army to wait for battle reports from the front in the camp.
In the end, Tian Ye's caution saved him from death, but the Jin soldier who took his place in the central military tent unfortunately became a scapegoat.
Surrounded by many generals, Tian Ye walked out calmly, faced Duan Tianyang, and said calmly: "Your Excellency has been surrounded by our army. If you surrender now, I can spare your life. Otherwise, you will die today."
Duan Tianyang looked at the young man in front of him and instantly realized that this was the real Tian Ye, and the one he killed in the central military tent was just an impostor.
He looked straight into Tian Ye's eyes. Even though they were far apart and surrounded by many generals and officers protecting them, Tian Ye was still stunned by Duan Tianyang's beautiful eyes that were filled with cold light.
What bright eyes!
He smiled slightly, a hint of pride on his face, raised his chin slightly, and said softly: "You'd better surrender, otherwise..."
Before he could finish his words, the surrounding Jin soldiers had already drawn their arrows, aiming them directly at Duan Tianyang in the crowd.
Before the enemy's arrow left the bow, Duan Tianyang swiftly threw the human head hanging at his waist, like a heavy hammer, and smashed it towards the field opposite.
Then, he unleashed the instant slash without hesitation. Before his body arrived, the blade had already streaked across the sky like lightning, piercing straight into Tian Ye's neck...
