After setting the fire, Tang Yin was satisfied. He brought his cavalry army and quickly withdrew his Beast King Town. Then he called for Ai Jia and told her to send some of his subordinates to scout the place where Xiao Muqing was hiding and inform him to immediately bring his troops back to Feng Country.
When they came to launch their sneak attack, they were fast, but when they returned to the Feng Country, their speed was much slower. Not only were the backs of empty horses loaded with supplies, even the Feng Army used to ride horses carried a lot of things.
Tang Yin rode his horse to patrol his own group, and actually found a few Feng Army s carrying the Bessas women. He was annoyed and amused at the same time, and asked one of the Feng Army s: "Why did you bring back a woman?"
The Feng Country Soldier's face was filled with awkwardness, his face red, he stammered: "Master, the woman in Savage Country is … It's strange, so I... "I want to bring her back home …"
When these words came out, the surrounding Feng Army s all grinned.
That soldier was even more embarrassed. Lowering his head, he said, "Master, if it is impossible, I will kill her now!" As he spoke, he was about to draw his saber.
Tang Yin waved his hand and said: "As long as it does not affect the speed of the troops, you can do as you wish."
That soldier was overjoyed as he repeatedly said, "No, no, I definitely won't implicate everyone …"
However, he was not happy for long before Tang Yin added, "When we return to our homeland, we need to hand over all the captives!"
"Oh …" The soldier's face stiffened in joy and became listless.
Tang Yin said with a smile: "Hand over a captive and we will reward you by killing the five with Savage Soldier."
These words immediately roused the spirit of the soldier. If this was the case, it wouldn't be a loss if he brought her back!
Although the speed of Feng Army return was slow, the soldiers were all relaxed. They chatted and laughed amongst themselves as they compared who had killed more Savage Soldier and brought back more spoils of war.
Not long after the group left, Xiao Muqing led the group and caught up.
Just as Tang Yin had expected, the Savage Soldier which was fleeing northwest was not able to escape from Xiao Muqing's group's ambush. More than three hundred Savage Soldier s were completely slaughtered by Xiao Muqing and his group, with no survivors. Xiao Muqing shared the resources of the thousand riders, which made the speed of their journey much faster.
He did not see Le Tian following Xiao Muqing back. Tang Yin felt it was strange, so he asked: "Participant Xiao Jun, where are the General Le people?"
Xiao Muqing hurriedly said, "General Le did not come back with me. He wants to stay in Savage Country!"
Not understanding the meaning behind his words, Tang Yin raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Muqing explained: "General Le said that our army has launched a sneak attack on Beast King Town, and that Savage Country will send out troops to retaliate against us. He will stay in Savage Country, and be able to detect any movements in Savage Soldier, and report back to Master in time.
"Oh, I see!" Tang Yin nodded his head, secretly complimenting Le Tian for his meticulous planning, as he had already guessed everything.
Hearing Xiao Muqing's words, Ai Jia who was beside him could no longer sit still. She cupped her hands and said to Tang Yin: "Master, I also want to stay in the Savage Country to find out about the movements of the Savage Soldier."
Tang Yin thought for a moment, shook his head, and said: "Having the General Le here is enough, we don't need to waste any more manpower …"
Ai Jia panicked when she heard it, and asked seriously: "Does Master not trust this subordinate's ability?"
Tang Yin understood Ai Jia's temper, even though she was a woman, she could not pull him back if she was extremely stubborn. If she did not let Ai Jia stay, it might even cause him some trouble! He pondered for a moment, then said: "How about this, General Le will scout the enemy, General Ai will lead your subordinates to scout out the towns in Savage Country, to prepare for our next sneak attack!"
Ai Jia was startled and asked in surprise, "Master, you still want to attack other towns in the Savage Country?"
Tang Yin laughed, and said: "A mere Beast King Town is nothing. If we want to repay it with our lives, we can beat the hell out of its Savage Country, and we can also use it to fill our army's treasury!" The sneak attack had been a huge success. Tang Yin had eaten his fill, of course he wouldn't stop there. He also needed to organize the next round of sneak attacks.
Ai Jia was startled, then smiled merrily and nodded her head: "I understand! Sir, please be at ease. This subordinate will investigate all of the border cities of Savage Country thoroughly. "
Tang Yin laughed and said, "It might not necessarily be a border city, and the most appropriate place would be to enter deep into the territory of the Savage Country. Only then would it deepen the fear the Savage Country has towards us!"
"Understood, my lord!"
Just like Le Tian, Ai Jia did not follow Tang Yin back to the Feng Country, but chose to stay within the Bessa City realm instead. She and Le Tian, on the one hand, asked about the information of the Barbarian City, and on the other hand, asked about the information of the Savage Soldier.
Tang Yin's victory in his sneak attack on Beast King Town and his capture of a large amount of resources naturally made him welcomed by the citizens of Heng City. The streets were packed with people, laughter and cheers filled the ears, the petals dancing in the sky made Heng City become a city of flowers.
Seeing the elated smiles on the citizens' faces, Tang Yin was even more determined on his path to becoming a strong soldier. In this chaotic world, peace and stability could only be obtained by relying on a strong army.
Returning to the County Magistrate Mansion door, before Tang Yin had even dismounted, people from the manor came out to welcome him. There were servants, guards, and even Fan Min.
Tang Yin returned safely. Seeing that everyone else was happy, he quickly walked in front of Tang Yin's horse and carefully sized him up first to see if he was injured.
In the battle with the General of Savage Army, Tang Yin was struck by the chaotic wind and the wounds on his body healed due to the large amount of spirit energy he absorbed. However, the cracks on his armor and the blood stains on his clothes did not disappear because of the spirit energy he absorbed. "Are you hurt?"
Tang Yin was not a blockhead, so he could obviously feel Fan Min's concern for him. He smiled as he dismounted, and while handing the reins to the servants, he smiled: "The two armies fought, it was hard to avoid injuries, but now you're fine!"
How could Fan Min believe his words? This body full of wounds and bloodstains showed that Tang Yin was severely injured, how could she say it was alright! She took a step forward and extended her hand to pull Tang Yin's arm. At the same time, she said: "Let me see!"
Tang Yin laughed, although Feng Country did not have the feeling that men and women should not be intimate with each other, there was no reason for women to strip a man's clothes off in public during this day and day. He stepped forward and circled around Fan Min like a mudfish, and laughed as he walked towards the house: "Do I look like I'm injured?"
He dodged very skillfully, that is, to not let Fan Min feel awkward, but at the same time, show that she was safe and sound.
Seeing that, Fan Min was startled, looking at Tang Yin's agile movements, the confidence in her voice did not seem like she was injured. It was only now that she suddenly realized that her actions just now were too disrespectful. Her relationship with Tang Yin was still far from being that intimate.
Her face flushed red, but she quickly regained her composure. In order to cover up her awkwardness, she chased up to Tang Yin and asked curiously: "Did you guys fight your way into the town? What does the city with Savage Country look like? "
Tang Yin shrugged and casually said: "It's broken and rotten, it's far inferior to our Feng Country." This was also the truth, Bessa City was a country with a shortage of resources, and the way of developing countries was to go out and plunder, to steal the wealth of the surrounding countries to support the entire kingdom.
As they spoke, Tang Yin entered the main hall, followed by Qiu Zhen, Shangguan Yuanji, the various regiment leaders, as well as Xiao Muqing, Cheng Jin and the others who accompanied him out.
Seeing that they were going to discuss military matters, Fan Min felt that it would not be good to continue staying even if she had more words to say. She took the initiative to leave the hall, but before leaving she added: "I'll come look for you later!"
Tang Yin nodded at her. If she didn't come to find him, he would have to go find her again. This time, he had brought back a lot of things from the Beast King Town, including many Savage Country's ornaments.
After Fan Min left, the hall became unusually quiet. Tang Yin raised her head and looked at the crowd, only to see them looking at him with an ambiguous gaze.
Qiu Zhen scratched his head, laughed, and said: "My lord, you are the one who got the moon first!"
Tang Yin had yet to react to the meaning behind his words, but Shangguan Yuanji continued, "Although his Fan Family is not that of an aristocrat's, but his family's wealth is great, so his help to Master is immeasurable!"
"That's right!" The others all nodded in agreement.
It was only at this time that Tang Yin finally understood what they were thinking in their hearts. He laughed loudly and said: "You guys have all misunderstood, Fan Min is only borrowing the power in my residence."
"Master doesn't need to be embarrassed, Miss Fan Min is not only beautiful, her family background is outstanding too, she can be considered a match for Master, a perfect match!" Qiu Zhen said half-seriously half-jokingly.
In truth, he was the clearest about the relationship between Tang Yin and Fan Min. However, he truly hoped that the two of them could work together.
If Tang Yin wanted to achieve great things, he would need money, and Fan Family was as rich as a nation. This would be just enough to make up for Tang Yin's current disadvantage.
After knowing Qiu Zhen for so long, what could not understand? He raised his eyebrows, stretched his body and asked with a smile: "Can you sell me for money?"
Qiu Zhen blinked his eyes. Looking at Tang Yin's sinister smile, he hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, this subordinate does not dare to do that."
"But you dare!" Tang Yin rolled her eyes at him, then stopped smiling and went back to the main topic, and said: "Count up, let's see how many spoils of war we have obtained this time."
Hearing that, Qiu Zhen stopped joking around, and nodded: "Yes!"
"My lord!" Xiao Muqing interrupted and said: "On the way back, I saw that the soldiers have captured quite a few supplies, so these things should all be handed over. This is also the rule of my Feng Army."
When warriors entered deeper into the Savage Country, they fought a life and death battle, so they should be rewarded. But since the military treasury was empty now, and Tang Yin could not give out that many rewards, it was reasonable for the spoils to belong to the warriors. Otherwise, who would be willing to follow him in his journey to the Savage Country.
The Way of the Army was not Tang Yin's strong point. He asked suspiciously, "The spoils of war captured by the soldiers, cannot they belong to the soldiers?"
