"Those people were all dressed in black, with their faces covered, wielding short knives. Their attacks were extremely vicious, not ordinary soldiers," the patrolling soldier from the south reported.
Xin Yi and Ah Jin were not attacked alone.
Since meeting up with Tang Ziqian over a month ago, Xin Yi seemed to have officially become a soldier under Tang Ziqian's command. Though she didn't charge into battle, she often led patrols.
At the time of the incident, Xin Yi was leading a team of ten, patrolling the southern part of the camp.
The south was where the prisoners were held.
The prisoners of the Duke Yan father and son were all high-ranking members of the Turkic royal family, including even the Crown Prince Murong Shun.
In this light, the purpose of the surprise attack became quite clear.
"How is Ah Jin's injury?" Tang Ziqian asked as he strode into Ah Jin's tent.
