“Return to the mercenary group immediately and tell Ye Ying to send all the remaining forces in the group to reinforce Cang Xin. No matter what, Jiang Huai must not return alive tonight.”
Shan Yue’s words were filled with killing intent. Everyone who worked for the organization had become her enemy. “There’s one more person who needs to rush to the location of the battle between Jiang Huai and Cang Xin immediately. Tell Chang Ling that he can’t let Jiang Huai go. Even if it’s to stall for time, we have to leave him there. I’ll be there soon.”
“Understood.” After hearing Shan Yue’s words, Yu Feng and one of them immediately stood up and accepted this mission.
Shan Yue also left Jiang Huai’s territory and rushed to the battlefield with the remaining four people.
The three parties in the crossfire were in a stalemate. In order to conserve their strength, Jiang Huai’s people retreated to the temporary base. However, this also created the situation of Chang Ling and the Cang Xin soldiers approaching the city.
In the end, Jiang Huai couldn’t hold back any longer. This sort of situation wasn’t a good thing for him in the end. In order to break this stalemate, he took the initiative to speak.
“I wonder which mercenary group is behind? Today is a personal grudge between Cang Xin and me. It has nothing to do with you. Why are you interfering and finding trouble for yourself?”
Jiang Huai’s tone was very ordinary, and there was even a hint of threat mixed within. “If you leave here now, 1, Jiang Huai, will definitely be endlessly grateful, and I’ll do my best to help if anything happens in the future. But if you insist on fighting with me, don’t blame me for being rude.”
“Sect Master Jiang, I’m Chang Ling. Don’t tell me you don’t recognize me? But I’m very curious about something. How are you going to be rude to me?” Chang Ling wasn’t afraid of Jiang Huai’s words at all. After all, he wasn’t frightened.
Hearing this, Jiang Huai was even more certain that Ye Ying’s men were indeed behind him. At the same time, Ye Ying and Cang Xin were also on his must-kill list. Currently, although he had more people, he was still at an absolute disadvantage in the face of such a pincer attack. Therefore, he still held back and did not expose all his ambitions.
“So you’re Sect Master Ye’s subordinate. If you’re willing to be magnanimous and show mercy, 1’11 definitely visit you tomorrow to thank you.”
Jiang Huai did not give up on what had happened tonight. If not for Chang Ling’s sudden support, Cang Xin’s territory would have been captured by him long ago.
“Damn it, Jiang Huai, you old dog, you can fart. Your words are even better than your singing. Do you really think anyone will believe your nonsense?”
Cang Xin, who’d been silent for a long time, finally couldn’t endure it any longer, and her voice reverberated in everyone’s ears as she spoke of Jiang Huai’s shameful actions.
“In the day, the battle between Ye Ying and Duo Feng ended with Ye Ying’s victory. There was originally nothing much to do, so everyone could just go back and rest. In the end, you interfered and sent troops out, hoping to capture Ye Ying in one fell swoop while his morale was low to strengthen your own forces.”
Cang Xin did not hold back at all and did not give Jiang Huai any face at all. “A person as ambitious as you still has the cheek to publicize your advocacy of peace outside. Now, because we helped Ye Ying, you bear a grudge and sent troops to attack us overnight. Now, you still want others to show mercy. You’re simply delusional.”
As soon as she finished speaking, before Jiang Huai could explain, Chang Ling immediately continued.
“Indeed, Sect Master Jiang. If Sect Master Cang hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it. I can take this opportunity to ask you why you sent troops this morning.”
Chang Ling pressed on step by step, not giving Jiang Huai any chance to catch his breath. “If not for what happened in the morning, this situation wouldn’t have happened at all. Moreover, Sect Master Cang came to help us during the day. Logically speaking, I should be on her side now.”
These words gave Cang Xin more confidence. At least now she knew that Ye Ying was firmly on her side.
“This…” Jiang Huai’s lips trembled incessantly. “This is completely an accident.
I sent troops over…”
“What’s wrong with you sending troops over?”
