Nightfall. The entire sky was shrouded in black. The moon was hidden behind the clouds, and not even a speck of starlight could be seen.
Xie Qingrong slightly raised her head, she knew that today was the best time to make a move. Shen Haoxuan and Black Turtle were standing beside her, and the other ten people were standing behind her, waiting for her order.
"Let's go." Xie Qingrong said softly.
The group of people carefully walked towards the camp that Wu Huan was stationed at. Under the cover of night, Xie Qingrong and the others sneaked into the camp without alerting anyone. They followed the route on the map and moved forward slowly.
"It's already so late, what are you all doing here?" Two soldiers suddenly appeared, holding their spears towards Xie Qingrong and the others, they realised that they had abnormal expressions and were about to shout for help.
However, Shen Haoxuan and Black Turtle had snatched the bodies of the two of them first, and stealthily took care of them, dragging their corpses to a place where no one would be able to notice them.
Xie Qingrong's pitch black eyes shone with an almost indifferent light as she brought the remaining ten people to continue walking forward.
When the ten of them saw the methods of Shen Haoxuan and the Black Turtle, their hearts slightly shivered, but most of them actually loathed Wu Huan. If not for this group of people chasing after Mo Bei relentlessly, why would they willingly leave their homes and travel on the road to join the army to protect the Heavenly Sage and protect all the Heavenly Saints and the people behind them who needed to be protected?
Including their wives, children and parents.
On their way to the granary, they would constantly discover that their soldiers were dealing with them one by one. Finally, they would arrive at the center of the grain.
Xie Qingrong nodded at the few of them, and they immediately understood. They took out black scarves and covered their faces, before starting to move in the grain depot.
After placing the things that Xie Qingrong had given them in all the granaries, they pulled out a thin long string and held it in Xie Qingrong's hand.
"You guys go first." Xie Qingrong ordered, following that the ten of them started to retreat, Shen Haoxuan and Black Turtle continued to follow behind him, waiting for Xie Qingrong to light the thread.
A small flame slowly burned along the thin line, burning all the way to the warehouse. The lines were divided into a dozen or so, and in the darkness of the night, they emitted a faint light.
Xie Qingrong, Shen Haoxuan, and the Black Tortoise all watched the line burn, but then the entire granary was set ablaze. The brilliant firelight instantly illuminated the darkness, making it impossible for the darkness to hide from it.
The fiery-red firework grew brighter and brighter in the gentle breeze. It carried an attitude as if it wanted to destroy everything as it blazed, causing half the sky to redden in red.
"The granary is on fire! Come and help the fire!"
A shout tore through the sky, and immediately after, everyone got up, flustered, and tried to fetch water from the stream to extinguish the fire.
However, the flames had gradually extinguished after the sky had been completely lit up, and the food that they had stored for three months was completely destroyed by Xie Qingrong, only leaving behind a pile of smoke and ashes on the ground.
The wind blew the ash away.
Xie Qingrong, Xuan Wu and the two others had already swaggered out of the army camp the moment the fire ignited.
After all, it was a mess within the army camp and no one would notice anything abnormal about the three of them.
When the news of Wu Huan's grains had all been burnt and reached his ears, the hand that was holding the brush trembled slightly. Xie Qingrong drew a line on the map heavily, coincidentally perfectly separating the border of the Mo Bei and the place where Wu Huan was currently stationed.
Xie Qingrong looked at the map, and could not help but chuckle, "Wu Huan has already lost the grain for three months, then in the next few days, Wu Huan will either retreat, or reprepare the grain. However, the war is tight, so how will Wu Huan find the grain in such a short period of time?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Haoxuan proudly straightened his back. All of the food and clothing that the Mo Bei army camp required were taken care of by him, and it only took him ten days to half a month to perfectly complete the mission Xuanyuan Chen had given him.
"Lin Mu, bring him up here." Xie Qingrong said indifferently, her expressionless face not showing even a trace of an extra emotion.
Lin Mu complied with what he said and brought a deputy general, whose hands were tied behind his back, into the tent. That deputy general kneeled on the ground with an extremely unyielding expression, and even had a slight look of contempt and disdain.
Earlier, Xie Qingrong had secretly instructed Lin Mu to capture the most suspicious person. Indeed, when Lin Mu sent people to guard the tents of the vice generals, only this deputy general was the only one who was sneaky and had strange behavior.
"As a citizen of the Heavenly Saint, as a soldier protecting the citizens of the Heavenly Saint, you actually helped Wu Huan? Isn't your conscience upset? "
Xie Qingrong expressionlessly looked at this deputy general, and coldly asked as he looked at him.
The deputy general laughed out loud, his smile was sinister, and the smile on his face carried slight ridicule and ridicule: "I am from Wu Huan, and not a saint. My goal for coming to the Mo Bei to join the army was to spread the news to Wu Huan, if not, how could Wu Huan have ambushed us again and again in these past few years? "
"Do you think you have won already? This is such a huge joke. "
A trace of killing intent quickly flashed across Xie Qingrong's eyes. The sleeve arrow on her wrist had already extended out its three sharp blades, and the tip of the sword was aimed straight at the vice general's throat.
The cold blade edge was like a viper's tongue as it licked at the deputy general's throat. It was cold, sticky, and carried a deep killing intent.
"Since that's the case, I won't waste my breath with you." Xie Qingrong coldly spat out a few words, the edge of the blade fiercely slashed, and scarlet blood leaked out of her throat.
The deputy general's eyes were wide open, seeming to reveal a faint sense of disbelief, but his eyes were indifferent.
After Lin Mu finished off the vice general's corpse, Xie Qingrong's face was still filled with a cold and bloody aura. Shen Haoxuan opened up the fan in his hand, and continued to fan around Xie Qingrong.
"The taste is a bit strong, go and taste."
Xie Qingrong lightly glanced at Shen Haoxuan, her eyes carrying slight ridicule and laughter, "Shen Haoxuan, you seem to be very free?"
"Hmm?" Upon hearing Xie Qingrong's and Xuanyuan Chen's words and tone, Shen Haoxuan's heart fiercely trembled. Raising his eyes to look like Xie Qingrong, he asked in a daze, "What's wrong?"
"Wu Huan's provisions were all burnt by us this time, I am afraid that he will not attack Mo Bei in the near future. And during this period of time, Mo Yun would be gathering grain without restraint. Shen Haoxuan, you will be responsible for Mo Yun's every movement. When necessary, we must use all means at our disposal to destroy Mo Yun's plans to collect grain. "
Xie Qingrong instructed indifferently.
