Chapter 47 - Task (I)
The next morning, Zhuo Qingyan brought the twenty men and divided them into six groups. They left the capital and went to Yang Town, which was located south of the capital.
When Zhuo Qingyan arrived at the assembly point outside Yang Town that afternoon, all the team members had already arrived. When they were counting the number of people, they found that there were three more people.
Since everyone wore masks and only their eyes were exposed, she couldn't help but sigh.
"Count!" she snapped.
The team members naturally understood what she meant. When the three of them were unable to answer, she waved her hand, and without any hesitation, the twenty team members stepped forward to capture the three of them.
However, these three people's skills were not bad. However, after ten moves, other than one person who was still fighting with them, the other two people had already been captured.
At this moment, Zhuo Qingyan shouted, "Stop!"
Everyone stopped what they were doing and stood aside. However, all of them stared vigilantly at the black-clothed man.
"Prince, what are you trying to do …" Zhuo Qingyan wanted to cry. Was she worried, or was she worried?
The black clothed man standing there reached out his hand and flipped the hood over his head, revealing a shockingly beautiful face. It was Ling Wang Chu Yi Chen.
All the members were stunned. Just as they were about to bow in respect, Zhuo Qingyan called out softly: "Did I let you all move? "Get on alert!"
Everyone immediately dispersed. At this moment, the two men in black who were taken down also stood up. They even patted the dust on their bodies and walked over.
"It's enough for the three of you. Do you really not feel at ease because of me?" Zhuo Qingyan's expression was cold as she moved around the three of them.
"It's not that I'm worried, it's just that I want to take a look …" Chu Yi Chen knew that she wasn't happy, so the words she said clearly didn't have much power.
"That's right, Princess Consort. Since you won't allow us to come here, the three of us have no choice but to leave by ourselves." Yan Li also spoke.
"Since the three of you are out, is there no one in the capital that can take part in the battle? Aren't you afraid that the Hou Lu would take action? " Zhuo Qingyan frowned again.
Chu Yi Chen shook his head: "It wasn't that early. Before there's any news from here, he won't take any more actions."
"You have reason. Alright, since you've come, follow me then, but I have a request. Do not hinder our operation and plan. When that time comes, do not blame me for not recognizing you." Zhuo Qingyan warned him.
Zhuo Qingyan looked at the three of them again and pointed to the hood on her head: "Where did you get this?"
The three of them looked at each other, and neither Yan Li nor Jiang Siyue dared to say anything. All they could do was reply Chu Yi Chen: "They forced Mo Yu and Ruoyun to come out in the middle of the night."
"What are you thinking …" Zhuo Qingyan shook her head helplessly, turned around and whistled. All the members returned to gather.
She waved to the others, and they all crouched down and gathered together. The three of them looked and squatted down, but she didn't say a word.
The 20 of them stared at her hands and nodded their heads. Then, they made an 'OK' gesture with their hands.
However, they did not understand what he meant. The three of them looked at each other and felt that they were very stupid. It was the same as when a duck listens to thunder. They did not understand at all.
After they were deployed, she waved her hand, and four of them turned around and walked towards the direction of the Yang Town, while the others didn't move. After they disappeared, she waved her hand again, and another six divided into six directions, either going up the tree, or hiding behind a tree or a rock.
The others immediately turned around and sat on the ground, and started to pack a small backpack that they carried on their back.
Seeing that she was also sitting on a rock, Chu Yi Chen walked over with Yan Li and Yan Li. The three of them squatted in front of her and Chu Yi Chen asked softly: "The three of us, what mission would that be?"
"The three of you are supposed to follow me, don't leave the three of you behind." Zhuo Qingyan choked in annoyance.
"No, Princess, are the three of us really that bad?" Yan Li raised his face under the hood.
"I don't know. You're already soldiers, and you're commanders in the army with hundreds of thousands of soldiers under your command. I'll ask you, if something like this happens in your troop, how are you going to deal with it?" Zhuo Qingyan's face was cold.
All three of them were silent. Who didn't know that in order to act of their own accord, regardless of success or failure, they would be punished by the military law? The punishment would be at least twenty military sticks.
Seeing that they had remained silent, she glared at them once more. "You know what's wrong, but your crime is still worse!"
Chu Yi Chen extended a hand to pull her sleeve, "We just want to see the results of these people. You've practiced for such a long time, I've seen their growth, but it's the first time in actual combat. I also want to experience it …"
"Don't you know it's risky? What if this operation failed? I will do my best to save a few of you. Have you thought that, with you here, we twenty people will not have any qualms? " Zhuo Qingyan frowned at him.
Chu Yi Chen was startled, his eyes flashing with a dazzling light. "I didn't think that … we would return …"
"Enough!" We're already here, let's go back. If you guys reveal your whereabouts, then our trip here will be a waste. Let alone killing, we won't even be able to see a single hair. Sigh … Follow me, don't wander around. Also, the three of you are not allowed to take off your hoods and speak. Be careful not to get recognized by others. Zhuo Qingyan glared at them again.
These three were so infuriated that they felt the urge to beat him up. Wasn't this just adding fuel to the fire!
The three of them stopped talking, but it was worth it to stay and watch the entire operation. The scene they saw just now was enough for them to understand the division of labor and the order to fight without saying a word. This had broadened their horizons.
After another hour, two more team members returned. They arrived in front of Zhuo Qingyan, immediately squatted down, and nodded at her. One of them started to make hand signals, and after the other finished, Zhuo Qingyan nodded.
She stood up, put her finger to her lips, and whistled.
Hearing the whistle, the team members immediately returned and gathered together again. This time, they did not squat down, but looked at Zhuo Qingyan. Her gestures were not fast, one after another, but they were all watching very seriously.
"Let's go!" Zhuo Qingyan said softly.
Everyone immediately headed towards Yang Town.
Zhuo Qingyan turned to look at the three of them before sighing: "Follow me."
The three of them quickly followed, but they were shocked once again. This group of people's speed was just too fast, they were originally at the top of the mountain, and the slope towards the bottom was not slow at all, but they moved as if it was flat ground. Instead of slowing down, they moved faster.
