Chapter 274 - 243: The Vinegar Jar Young Hero
The night was as dark as ink, and it was the third watch of the night. Among the tents, glimmers of firelight flickered like stars.
Chen Yi took a deep breath and gazed into the distance. The Capital City was hidden behind the pitch-black horizon. He had left Qin Qingluo and Zhu E quite coolly, but where to go afterward seemed uncertain. He couldn’t just return to the camp and say he wanted to stay the night.
Chen Yi exhaled, thought for a moment, and then thought of someone. He walked briskly in that direction.
After practicing martial arts, his senses were sharper than ordinary people, especially since he had reached the Fourth Rank. He could hear everything happening in the camp clearly, naturally hearing when Min Ning lifted the curtain.
To be honest, his method of humiliating Qin Qingluo then was a spur-of-the-moment idea, a sudden inspiration, as he never could have predicted that Min Ning would be brought to the camp by Qin Qingluo.
As for the impact of that scene on the inexperienced Min, Chen Yi couldn’t say.
The main commander’s tents were surrounded by empty ones—one reason was to host guests for the night, another to confuse and guard against assassins. Chen Yi searched a few places before finding Min Ning’s tent.
Inside the tent, Chen Yi listened for a while; it was completely quiet.
He lifted the curtain and walked in.
Almost in the next instant, a sword light slashed over.
The sharp blade was close to his throat. In the heavy darkness, those phoenix eyes were brimming with heroism.
"What are you doing? Still drunk?" Chen Yi was about to reach out to embrace her when Min Ning’s sword pressed closer.
