Chapter 103 Sneak Attack
Chapter 103 Sneak Attack
It was midnight, and all was quiet. The whole world seemed to be shrouded in a thick blackness.
In this eerily quiet moment, Su Yue suddenly opened her eyes from the darkness, her gaze sharp and bright, like a cold star twinkling in the night sky.
She quickly rolled out of bed and nimbly put on the black night clothes that Qiaoxiang had carefully prepared.
The night-clothes clung tightly to her body curves, making her seem to blend into the darkness and almost unnoticed.
After getting dressed, Su Yue quietly arrived at Dali's room.
Gently push open the door, and you'll see Dali lying on the bed fast asleep, a faint smile on his lips.
Su Yue stepped forward without hesitation and gave Dali a hard push, waking him from his sweet dream.
"Wake up!" Su Yue whispered.
Dali opened his eyes groggily and saw Su Yue's serious face in front of him. He was instantly wide awake and quickly got up to put on his night clothes.
Once everything was ready, the two of them sped off towards the Xiongnu camp like ghosts.
Dressed in black night clothes, their figures appeared and disappeared in the darkness, moving through the streets and alleys like ghosts.
Soon, they arrived at the city gate. However, a tricky problem arose—Dali couldn't ride a horse at all!
Left with no other choice, Su Yue had Dali hug her tightly from behind, and then the two of them rode together on a black horse, rushing out of the city gate at lightning speed.
Meanwhile, Liang Rong watched Su Yue and Dali's departing figures from afar, his heart filled with envy and longing.
Actually, he really wanted to go with them, but every time he tried to express this idea to Su Yue, he hesitated.
The terrifying image of Su Yue's ability to strangle people from a distance would involuntarily surface in my mind.
That chilling, bone-chilling feeling still haunts him to this day.
"Forget it, forget it... If they don't let me go, then I won't go," Liang Rong muttered to himself, ultimately giving up the idea of following them.
At this moment, Su Yue and Dali rode the black steed, galloping wildly through the boundless night.
Apart from the whistling wind and the crisp, loud sound of horses' hooves, there were no other sounds around.
Their figures gradually faded into the distance, until they disappeared into the vast night...
Su Yue had already heard the route to the Xiongnu camp clearly from Liang Rong.
It has to be said, these Huns were incredibly audacious!
They seemed to have an extraordinary confidence in their own strength, completely disregarding whether anyone would come to attack their camp; they were utterly arrogant.
What's even more surprising is that they set up camp only 30 miles away from Qing Shi Town.
Su Yue and Dali rode their horses at full speed, arriving near their destination in less than half an hour.
However, to avoid being detected by the keen-eared Huns, the two decided to dismount and continue on their way.
Afterwards, Su Yue put the black horse into her spatial storage, and then she and Dali tiptoed toward the camp.
The two first quietly circled around to the back of the camp, then hid in the shadows, holding their breath and carefully observing every move in the camp.
After patiently waiting for what felt like an incense stick's time, they finally made a discovery: it turned out that these Xiongnu people had just suffered a defeat during the day, and their morale was low, so much so that even at midnight, many of them had not yet fully rested.
At this moment, Su Yue quickly placed her finger gently to her lips.
He made a shushing gesture and whispered to Dali beside him, "Shh~ Don't make a sound." Dali nodded knowingly after receiving the instruction.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them slipped silently into a location near the edge of the Xiongnu camp, like ghosts.
Dressed in black night clothes, the two moved nimbly and lightly, and in the blink of an eye, they lay prone behind the roots of a large tree only twenty meters away from the camp.
After a while, once they were sure no one was watching them, the two carefully continued crawling into the camp.
With each step they took forward, their hearts pounded with anxiety, but thankfully, no one noticed.
After crawling forward for about ten more meters, the two stopped again and hid in a secluded corner to carefully observe the surrounding movements.
It's truly strange; whether it's because the infiltration location they chose was exceptionally clever, or because fate was particularly kind to them, they haven't encountered a single Hun since the start of the operation.
Not a single shadow could be seen. This undoubtedly eased my tense mood somewhat.
Su Yue moved with surprising agility and strength, silently and lightly making her way to the camp's fence. The small fence was utterly useless to someone of Su Yue's skill, posing no obstacle whatsoever.
If it weren't for the fear of revealing her whereabouts too early and causing trouble, given Su Yue's personality, she probably would have rushed into the camp and drugged everyone without hesitation.
Unfortunately, although the wind is quite strong tonight, its direction is completely unpredictable and keeps moving around randomly.
If you wait until you're about to administer the sleeping pills yourself, and the haphazardly blowing wind suddenly changes direction, blowing the pills back and knocking you out as well, that would be absolutely terrible!
Therefore, under the current circumstances, the only option is to cautiously and slowly infiltrate the area. Although progress has been slow, such a smooth start is quite fortunate.
Su Yue nimbly used her dagger to quickly cut a gash in the camp fence, then reached out and forcefully pulled Dali out of the gash.
In fact, the two of them had already discussed the whole plan in detail on the way here.
As originally planned, Su Yue would be the first to sneak into the camp to find the location of the supplies. Once everything was ready, the two of them would work together to quietly drug the general who held the highest rank and the most power in the area and then take him away from there.
In this way, they could engage in an unfair trade with the Xiongnu.
Thinking of this, Su Yue couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. If the Xiongnu people refused to obediently offer up valuable items in exchange for their high-ranking general, she would definitely not let it go.
Even if she doesn't get what she wants, she will still hang the unconscious general high on the city wall as a warning to the Huns!
There don't seem to be many people in the camp. Wait, even if some died today.
There shouldn't be only these few people left; it seems there aren't even a thousand people left.
