Vigilantly they rushed their way towards the front of the room, just when the three almost arrived, they heard a commotion and sounds of fighting from the rear court, it looks like someone has been discovered! They need to hurry! The trio crossed over the side of the courtyard, and finally darted to the front of the room; at this moment, a team of guards happened to be patrolling there, in front of the room nowhere is a spot to hide, a head-on bitter encounter with the guards is unavoidable.

When Dong Lin, the leader of the guards, saw them without batting an eyelid he simply turned to the guards behind and said: "Capture them." They are nothing more than just some new army recruits, this so-called night raid is practically an insult to them!

Dong Lin's disdainful eyes made the three clenched their fists, Ge Jing Yun inwardly admonished himself to remain calm, inclining his head to the side he told the skinny soldier behind him: "You go and check. We'll cover you."

The young lad nodded, extremely fast he rushed into the room, Ge Jing Yun and the other soldier stood near left and right of the door, staring alertly at the brawny men heading towards them.

The drive and aggression honed constantly in the army life surged within, Ge Jing Yun strived to hold up, but the hands of the soldier beside him started to tremble, glaring at him for a moment Ge Jing Yun yelled: "Watch out! Losing your head?! The task must be accomplished!"

To embolden himself, Ge Jing Yun took the lead, he moved forward to meet the tall and robust guard who clearly looked down on him even though Ge Jing Yun's build is also sturdy as an ox.

Evidently the other party underestimates the enemy, Ge Jing Yun deceptively stepped forward, reaching out his hand he grabbed the guard's front shirt; the guard sneered, he too wanted to throw a punch. His thick and solid arm extended, a move that was easily blocked off next by Ge Jing Yun's surprise attack. He was caught off guard. Ge Jing Yun conveniently grabbed the guard's arm, bent his body, his other hand grabbed the guard's waistband, he executed a beautiful shoulder throw maneuver [a judo throwing technique]!

The guard's burly body fiercely fell to the ground, the ground beneath practically shook, everyone was struck dumb for a moment; at about the same time the door opened, the young lad ran out of the room shaking his head towards them, the room was empty, the case wasn't inside.

Ge Jing Yun shouted aloud: "quickly retreat!"

As soon as his voice fell, the three of them as they have agreed before they entered the camp, ran off to three different directions. Dong Lin's eyes glinted cold, his lean figure dashed after Ge Jing Yun; Ge Jing Yun got alarmed, rapid-fire he raised his right foot and took out a short dagger from his boot, brandishing it in a flick. Suddenly a cold light flashed, Dong Lin did not expect his body concealed a weapon, added to that Ge Jing Yun's thrust was strong, Dong Lin's split-second sloppiness already gave Ge Jing Yun the chance to slip away.

Dong Lin furiously commanded: "Chase!" Damn it, just like that he let him escape!

Outside a battle was raging on, but within the headquarter there still was a leisurely sight to behold. On top of a table, a wooden chessboard was cluttered with white and black chess pieces, the mechanics of the game resemble not a bit like the game of Go, Su Ren's one hand was delicately holding a cup of the Liuyue tea, his other hand holding a white chess piece, patiently waiting for Han Shu to put down his piece.

Han Shu's hand was grasping a black piece, but he did not know for how long he ought to have put it down already, this game of Gobang seemed simple, but playing it is actually challenging! Picking up the teacup beside him for a mouthful of drink, Han Shu clenched his teeth, and placed the chess piece.
