Chapter 306 Hijacking
It only took the blink of an eye for the middle-aged soldier to rush from the entrance of the central military tent to the side of the field.
His movements were so fast that they were difficult to capture with the naked eye. At the same time, a strong wind blew up in the central military tent, instantly sweeping the desk in front of Tian Ye away.
When everyone came to their senses, they saw the middle-aged soldier standing beside Tian Ye, with the tip of his knife pointing at Tian Ye's neck.
The generals screamed in fear, but it was too late to rescue.
The middle-aged soldier held a knife and calmly said to everyone: "If you don't want him to die, don't move."
This middle-aged soldier was none other than Duan Tianyang.
While escaping from the camp, Duan Tianyang broke into a tent at the edge of the camp and quickly observed the Jin soldiers inside. After selecting the target, he extinguished the oil lamp in the tent.
In the darkness, he swung his sword repeatedly, killing more than a dozen Jin soldiers in one fell swoop, including the middle-aged soldier he had chosen.
After killing the middle-aged soldier, he smashed the middle-aged soldier's head with one punch and quickly exchanged their badges.
Then he lifted the canvas of the tent and threw out the body of a Jin soldier.
On the surface, it seemed that he escaped from the tent, but in fact the black shadow that rushed out was just a corpse. This also explains why the pursuers found another corpse of a Jin soldier outside the tent.
As for the Jin soldier who brought the news, he was not an assassin. When Duan Tianyang grabbed his shoulder, it seemed like he was being nonchalant, but he was actually exerting force secretly.
The Jin soldier instinctively shook his shoulders because of the pain, but Duan Tianyang cleverly took advantage of this reaction, jumped up, and sat down on the ground, as if he had been bounced away by the opponent.
Although the face-saving technique is mysterious and can change in a myriad of ways, to achieve perfection it also requires the user to have keen adaptability and superb acting skills.
Duan Tianyang undoubtedly possesses both of these points.
Tian Ye was held at knifepoint by Duan Tianyang. At first his body was stiff and his face was filled with fear, but he soon regained his composure.
He turned to look at Duan Tianyang and asked in a serious tone: "Who are you?"
Duan Tianyang raised his lips slightly and responded: "Guess."
Tian Ye stared at him and said firmly: "At least, you should let me know who killed me."
Duan Tianyang did not respond to him, but stretched out his other hand, grabbed Tian Ye's shoulder and pulled him up from his seat.
He stood behind Tian Ye, holding his shoulder tightly with one hand and holding the knife across Tian Ye's throat with the other hand. He looked directly at the Jin general opposite and said calmly: "As long as you are obedient, I will not kill you for the time being."
Then he shouted to the generals present: "Get out of the way!"
At first, Duan Tianyang did want to kill Tian Ye with one knife, but now he has changed his mind.
He knew very well that if he killed Tian Ye, it was uncertain whether the Jin army would fall into chaos, but it would most likely anger them and launch a more fierce offensive against the Qinba tribe.
Therefore, Duan Tianyang thought it would be safer to capture Tian Ye alive.
The Jin army soldiers stood where they were, sweat dripping down their cheeks, and no one dared to move.
At this time, a lieutenant general stepped forward, pointed a knife at Duan Tianyang, and shouted loudly: "Let go of the general!"
As soon as he took a step forward, the blade in Duan Tianyang's hand immediately cut through Tian Ye's skin, and a drop of blood slid down the blade.
This scene frightened the lieutenant general so much that he retreated repeatedly with a look of panic on his face.
Wang Shen saw this and hurriedly waved his hands to the generals, shouting anxiously: "Generals, please don't be impulsive, retreat quickly!"
At the same time, he turned to Duan Tianyang and waved his hand, "Everything can be discussed. As long as you don't hurt me, you can make your conditions..."
Before he finished speaking, Tian Ye interrupted coldly: "There is nothing to discuss, don't worry about me, kill him immediately!"
Seeing that the generals were still retreating, Tian Ye shouted angrily: "I say it again, don't worry about me, kill him immediately. This is an order!"
The generals of the Jin army looked at each other in confusion. Who would dare to carry out such an order?
You have to know that the person held hostage by the assassin is the young master of the Tian family. In such a situation, who would dare to ignore Tian Ye's safety and rashly attack the assassin?
If anything happened to Tian Ye, even if he eventually killed the assassin, the Tian family would never let him go...
The generals were hesitant and ignored Tian Ye's orders.
Duan Tianyang pushed Tian Ye forward, but the crowd retreated step by step. Wang Shen was the most anxious. He was so anxious that he was afraid that something might happen to Tian Ye. He shouted again and again: "Retreat quickly! Everyone retreat!"
Everyone was already close to the entrance of the central army tent and evacuated the tent in an instant.
At this time, the Jin soldiers outside the tent had not yet understood the situation, and Duan Tianyang had already walked out with Tian Ye.
Seeing their commander being subdued, the Jin soldiers were horrified and there was an uproar at the scene.
The soldiers quickly took out their bows and arrows, ready to shoot, with their arrows pointing directly at Duan Tianyang and Tian Ye.
Wang Shen was terrified and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Stop! No one is allowed to shoot! Anyone who disregards the general's safety will be executed along with his entire family!"
In fact, Wang Shen was not from the Eighth Legion, but from the Tian family.
For him, it didn’t matter whether the Jin army conquered the Qinba tribe or not. The key was that the fields were safe.
If anything unexpected happens to Tian Ye, he won't be able to take responsibility even if he has a hundred lives!
Wang Shen’s roar frightened the Jin soldiers. They dropped the bows and arrows in their hands and retreated with the generals.
Tian Ye looked at Wang Shen with mixed feelings in his heart, and sighed: "Sir, why do you have to do this? As the commander of the army, I have fallen into the hands of the enemy. I should die for my country, not live in disgrace. You should do your best to kill the assassin, and wait until tomorrow when our army defeats Qinba, I will die with honor!"
Wang Shen's heart ached and tears welled up in his eyes.
He really wanted to say: Even the value of a hundred Chimba tribes is not worth one life of Tian Ye.
He deliberately avoided Tian Ye's gaze and turned to look at Duan Tianyang, and asked in a trembling voice: "What conditions do you want? As long as you are willing to let our general go, we are willing to meet any of your demands!"
Duan Tianyang laughed secretly in his heart, but his face remained calm. He simply shrugged and said in a deep voice: "My condition is very simple, as long as you let me go."
"If we let you go, will you let our general go?" Wang Shen asked.
"I can promise not to kill him." Duan Tianyang answered vaguely. As to whether or not he would be released, and when, he did not give a clear answer.
Wang Shen nodded, turned around and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Get out of the way! Everyone retreat!"
However, Tian Ye stopped them angrily: "Don't give in! Anyone who dares to give in again will be punished by military law!" His face turned red with anger, and his voice was full of unquestionable majesty.
Duan Tianyang gazed at the fields, secretly admiring them in his heart.
Although Tian Ye does not know martial arts and is just an ordinary person, his courage to disregard life and death makes people admire him.
Duan Tianyang thought to himself: If all the generals of the Jin army could be as brave and fearless as Tian Ye, then the realm of the gods would probably be in real danger.
