After handling the letter one of the emperor's people, Long Yi Sheng and Ling Bin retreated to wait for further instruction.
After a while the head trainer, Captain Fu called out everyone for a 'secret' meeting.
She showed the map and pointed to a place saying that they will all escape using that route right away.
After preparing for 2 hours the group finally left.
They walked for more than 3 hours before they finally arrived at the designated area.
But before they can take more steps, a group of people came out from the woods.
"do you really think that you all can get away from here?"
Captain Gu makes a stance ready to fight anytime.
The trainers seeing it also prepare for battle, but unexpectedly more than 30 people walk to the enemy's side
"Hey, what are you doing? Do you wanna die?"
Some even ask loudly but the men keep walking and finally stopped facing them ready to fight.
"Hey! Are you out of your mind!"
"say no more! They are obviously traitors who betrayed us!"
One of the quick-witted young men said, the others were stunned, wanted to defend them but looking at them, the young men grip their swords tightly feeling sad and angry at the same time.
"This is one of the most important lessons for all of you"
Captain Gu loudly said
"There is always rotten amongst us!"
"hahaha! Captain that is funny! but I guess that will be your last words?"
Du Wang, one of the most promising youths Gu Si taught, even put extra effort into him but unexpectedly, his judgment is really bad.
"Du Wang, why are you doing this?"
"They actually paid quite a lot, of course, no one can turn down such offer you know"
"you bastard!"
"enough!"
Gu Si calmly said, he looked around and found out that the enemy is really a lot!
He didn't ask anything and just study the situation.
"These people trained so hard, maybe we can sell them off at a high price"
One of them said, his accent is awkward, obviously he is not local, Gu Si think hard and finally remember the Bei country.
"do you think we will just lie down? you want a fight we will give you!"
The enemies laugh mockingly
"these little pests is a talker, then you will have to die fighting"
But then a loud noise came, the huge number of galloping horses, then from behind the enemies soldiers after soldiers appear.
"do you really think that our 'plan' was really intercepted by you?"
"What?"
The Bei leader asks in shock
General Fu Hai who personally lead the rescue mission just look at him then said
"let these juveniles fight, this is actual combat, but try not to kill them, in worst just cripple these bastards"
His look is condensing, and the enemy automatically felt scared, especially how cold his voice is.
The foreigner grits his teeth, then take out a bamboo flute and blows it.
Fu Hai chuckle
"your reinforcement is dead, but I still want to praise you on how smart are you, building your hideout underground, but there will always be a person who can outsmart you"
But the truth was, finding their hideout is just luck from one of his subordinates, he accidentally fell so they find it.
Remembering this lucky accident he chuckles.
When the Bei person heard it he wanted to run and escape but, they were surrounded so it was impossible.
Then the fight started.
Long Yi Sheng and Ling Bin has a tacit understanding so they fought smoothly and valiantly.
Fu Hai saw this and silently nod his head.
The youth fighting together with the 5th prince is something else.
The fight didn't last long.
The juveniles, who experienced the blood bath for the first time had their blood boiling.
The initial fright by wounding and cutting a human didn't last long and finally change into excitement.
But was extinguished by Zhou Boyin's next words
"those who betray the country will be beheaded together with their family"
The betrayers all knelt down
"our family is innocent! Please"
"you should know the law! betraying the country is a capital offense!"
Gu Si reminded them.
The juveniles turned pale and looked at their companion in pity, they still train with them, laugh, play, and experience a lot with them, they still bonded together by training but, betrayal is betrayal.
Fu Hai lead them back to their camp and treated them, give them food and clean water to drink then let them rest.
"so you are Ling Bin"
Fu Hai said after their rest.
Ling Bin pauses and then salutes respectfully
"replying to General Fu this subordinate is Ling Bin"
Fu Hai smiles and pats his shoulder
"this time thanks to your sister! Again"
Ling Bin keeps his face straight, which makes Fu Hai approve of him a little more.
He will be a great vassal when the time comes.
"your sister sent you a letter and ask me to send back your reply, what a gutsy little brat, still ordering around a general like me"
Ling Bin was scared at first, thinking that Fu Hai was offended, but seeing the great general tolerant eye, he was relieved.
While they are talking Long Yi Sheng enter so Long Bin respectively saluted,
Fu Hai was startled so Long Yi Sheng explain
"General Fu no need to be this surprised, Ling Bin knows my identity"
Only then Fu Hai realized how the 5th prince trusted Ling Bin.
"Weiwei sent a letter?"
Ling Bin smiles gently and nod
"then go ahead and read it, you have to assure her about our safety"
After Ling Bin left Fu Hai said everything to the 5th prince
"We are lucky that the brat Wei knows how to write with invisible ink"
"general I am also a little confused, I do not think the letter that was sent to me is anything useful"
"your highness, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, it was little Wei who suggested it, then the emperor said that we should send more letters and let them intercept, lowering their vigilance after reading the letter, but the message sent to you is more detailed"
