Within the Jinhua City.

After returning Zhang Chu and the other three to the Ning Army, Shangguan Yuan and the rest were also discussing with Tang Yin whether or not he would keep his promise and withdraw out of the Jinguang County. In Tang Yin's opinion, with Cai Youling's trump card in her hands, there was no need to worry.

Sure enough, that night, the guards on the tower came over to report to Tang Yin, saying that the Ning Army had started to pack up their camp and return to their tents. Hearing this news, Tang Yin was naturally overjoyed, and immediately brought Shangguan Yuan and the rest up to the city walls, watching the movements of the Ning Army Camp.

Just like the messenger under his command, Ning Army Camp was currently bustling with activity, with troops of Ning Army entering and exiting the place while holding torches. Many of the tents had already been torn down, revealing a large open space. Tang Yin squinted his eyes as he walked slowly on the city walls while looking at the Ning Army Camp.

Others may not be able to clearly see the situation of the Ning Army Camp, but he could, and while watching him, he inwardly nodded to himself.

As he thought about it, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, and the smile on his face deepened. Shen Zhichen was also watching, but he did not have a Night-vision Eye, nor did he have a strong eyesight like Tang Yin, so he could not see the situation clearly. However, looking at the smile on Tang Yin's face, he guessed that Ning Jun'er was indeed going to retreat. He rolled his eyes and muttered in a low voice, "Ning Jun wouldn't use trickery, right?"

The speaker has no heart, the listener has no heart. Hearing that, Tang Yin immediately stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Shen Zhichen, and asked: "What do you mean by that, General Shen?"

Shen Zhichen frowned, and said worriedly: "I keep having the feeling that there's something amiss with Ning Jun to just retreat like this. With great difficulty, the Ning Army had pushed their way to the Jinguang County, and then confronted our army for so many days. Just because of a single Cai Youling, the entire army chose to retreat, it was simply unimaginable. Even if Cai Youling's identity was any more important, the Ning Army Commander should not be able to make such a hasty decision to retreat. Master, when Ning Army retreated, it couldn't be that he was intentionally putting on an act to confuse our army, to let our army be careless, and then to seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack for a whole night, right? "

Ah? After hearing what Shen Zhichen had said, Tang Yin could not help but take in a deep breath. Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed strange for Zhan Wushuang to accept the condition he gave so readily. Could it be that Ning Jun really wanted to retreat, but in reality, he had to take advantage of the night to launch a sneak attack?

Thinking about it, Tang Yin clenched his fists, the green light in his eyes shone even brighter, to the point that it looked like it was about to shoot out light. He nodded and said to the others, "General Shen is right. We can't let our guard down just because of the fact that the Ning Army is about to withdraw. We have to be on our guard tonight!"

Shangguan Yuan turned serious and cupped his hands in salute and said, "Understood, Sir."

"Also," Tang Yin rubbed his chin, and said faintly, "it's not safe to imprison Cai Youling and the others within your North City either …" He did not expect that the Ning Jun Army would send people to secretly save them, but he felt that once they attacked, the North City would definitely be the focus of their attacks. They would imprison Cai Youling and the rest in the North City, so what if they took advantage of the chaos and ran away?

Shen Zhichen asked: Then, where do you think it's appropriate to imprison them?

Tang Yin pondered for a moment, then said: "Tonight, I will temporarily imprison them in my big tent, and keep them close to me. I'm not afraid of any problems."

"Yes, my lord!" Shen Zhichen did not object and bowed to receive the order.

Tang Yin then moved to Shangguan Yuan's side, "Yuanyu, you must work harder tonight. Help General Shen to guard the North City together."

"Yes sir!" Shangguan Yuan agreed straightforwardly.

After he finished explaining everything, Tang Yin stood on the top of the city wall and watched for a while, before bringing his men down the city wall, allowing them to return to their respective positions.

Not long after, Shen Zhichen personally led his subordinates and brought Cai Youling and the other three to the big tent.

These four people were two males and two females. Other than Cai Youling, the other three people were Feng Yuze, Jin Lei and Shen Cuiling. Feng Yuze was the son of Grand Preceptor Feng Cheng, Jin Lei was the son of Middle General Jin Er, and Shen Cuiling was the daughter of Middle General Shen Fang. Amongst the four of them, the families of Cai Youling and Feng Yuze were naturally the most prominent.

Seeing Tang Yin dressed in casual clothes in the tent, the four of them were all stunned. They did not know why Tang Yin had made them bring the four of them over.

Seeing that the four of them were staring at him warily, Tang Yin laughed and waved his hand, saying, "Tonight, the four of you are staying in my big tent."

"What does Master Tang mean by this?" Cai Youling asked.

Tang Yin slowly said, "For your safety. I'm worried that the Jinhua City will not be peaceful tonight. "

He did not understand the meaning behind his words, and Cai Youling did not continue asking. Instead, she changed the topic and asked: "Where did you take Zhang Chu and the rest of the four?"

Tang Yin laughed: Of course it's to send them home!

"You killed them?" Cai Youling and the other two asked at the same time.

Tang Yin said: "Didn't you understand what I'm saying? I sent them back to your Ning Army's main camp. " Seeing that the four of them were shocked, he continued to say, "If the Ning Army obediently withdraws, I will also send the four of you back."

Cai Youling pondered for a moment, and said in shock: "You are using us to threaten the General Wushuang?"

Tang Yin laughed, and said: "Aren't all of you of such value?"

Cai Youling angrily glared at Tang Yin, his silver teeth clattering as he angrily shouted, "Tang Yin, you are too despicable!"

Tang Yin said without a care: "No matter what method we use on the battlefield, it would not be considered despicable. As long as we can obtain the final victory. "Because of the incompetence of the marshal, countless soldiers have been killed. That's what we call despicable and despicable."

Cai Youling was so angry that she couldn't speak. In her opinion, it was impossible to reason with Tang Yin.

Tang Yin was also lazy to talk to them. He stood up and walked towards the back of the screen while saying, "I'll sleep inside while the rest of you sleep outside. "Don't try to escape. The security outside is so tight that even if you turn into flies, you won't be able to fly out. Don't try to ambush me either. I'm sleeping very lightly. If you get too close to me, I might accidentally take your heads off!"

As he spoke, he had already gone behind the screen and was lying on the bed, sleeping in his clothes.

Cai Youling, Feng Yuze, Jin Lei, and Shen Cuiling, who had been left behind in the tent, looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief. After all, Tang Yin didn't have any intention of killing them. Feng Yuze asked softly, "Did Tang Yin really put Zhang Chu and the others back? If that's the case, then we should be sent back soon! "

Cai Youling glanced at him, and slowly lowered his head.

He wasn't as optimistic as Feng Yuze. In order to have the Ning Army retreat outside the city, Tang Yin had released Zhang Chu's group of four. However, once the Ning Army retreated, it was uncertain whether Tang Yin would release the four of them.

At this time, Shen Cuiling lightly sobbed again, and muttered in an intermittent voice: "If I knew this would happen … She shouldn't have listened to her father and gone off with the army... If I don't use Feng Country … Right now, I am still in Liangzhou's home … "

Shen Cuiling could be considered the weakest of them all. Ever since she had been captured, she had been crying all day, and her grievances towards the heavens and earth. Cai Youling and the others were already annoyed, now that they saw her crying, no one paid any more attention to her.

The tent quietened down, leaving Shen Cuiling crying quietly.

After a while, the sound of breathing could be heard. That was Tang Yin's cry.

Cai Youling looked up at the screen, then looked around.

Tang Yin's big tent could be said to be his personal belongings's four walls, with nothing to show for it. Other than the screen at the end of the hall, there was only a table in the tent. There was no weapon hanging on the cloth. Her eyes darted around until they fell on the wine pot in the middle of the table.

It was obvious that the wine pot was made of pure copper. Although he did not know how much it weighed, it was the only solid thing in the tent.

Cai Youling clenched her teeth, and then secretly pulled down Feng Yuze's sleeve. The latter turned her head and looked at her blankly. She first nocked a bow onto the table, then bent down and wrote the word 'kill' on the ground with her index finger.

Feng Yuze was not an idiot, after seeing this, he immediately understood what she meant. She was using a wine jug to kill Tang Yin!

His body trembled, he shook his head at Cai Youling, indicating that he was not alright.

Cai Youling strongly grabbed his arm, signalling for him to be quiet, stood up, and slowly walked towards the table.

She walked carefully, afraid of making any noise. When she reached the table, she stood still for a while before slowly picking up the flagon of wine. The wine jug was floating in the air, but it was not light. When held in his hand, it felt heavy. If he were to use it to smash someone's head, his skull would probably shatter as well.

She stood quietly in front of the table for a while longer, listening to the sound of breathing on the screen. Only then did she grab the wine jug and quickly retreat.

At this time, Shen Cuiling also stopped crying as she and Jin Lei came over and looked at Cai Youling in shock and fear.

Cai Youling crouched down and at the same time, handed the jug of wine to Feng Yuze and quickly wrote a few words on the ground: Kill Tang Yin, find a chance to escape!

Holding the jug of wine Cai Youling gave him, Feng Yuze's hands trembled. Using the jug of wine to kill Tang Yin was easy, but what if he couldn't kill him? What if they caught the attention of the garrison outside the camp and attacked them? His head was shaking like a rattle drum, as though he had taken a hot potato and stuffed it back to Cai Youling.

Glaring at him fiercely, Cai Youling cursed in her heart that he was useless. She then handed the wine jug to Jin Lei, and wrote on the ground: Go and kill Tang Yin.

Jin Lei's courage was inferior to Feng Yuze's. When he saw her offer the wine jug to him, his expression changed. He leaned back, retreating as if he were a snake or a scorpion.

Damn it! If she could make a sound now, Cai Youling would definitely point at them and swear.

Looking at Feng Yu Ze and Jin Lei's faces filled with fear, then listening to the even breathing on the screen, Cai Youling gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, steeled her heart, and decided that she would take action herself. Even if she could not kill Tang Yin, or injure him, it would be better to subdue him.
