Chapter 38

"Sure enough."

"Compared to looting corpses, killing enemies comes faster."

"Total attributes are about to break a thousand, wait until the next great battle."

"The lifespan I gained from looting has also been more than ten years; I could originally live to eighty-eight, now I have extended my life by more than ten years; immortality is not a dream."

"No matter who it is, if they compare lifespan, they can't outlast me, even that old turtle Sima Yi from the Three Kingdoms period."

"The future is promising."

Zhu Ying thought beautifully in his heart.

Looking at his attribute panel, this was the real battle result realized from killing enemies and looting.

Regaining his composure.

Zhu Ying stood up slowly; all around, many comrades were sleeping leaning against warhorses; after many days of retreat and battle, it could be said that every soldier was very exhausted; after all, they did not have the endurance like Zhu Ying.

"I hope everyone can go home."

Zhu Ying scanned under the night sky and thought secretly in his heart.

Then he walked slowly toward the rear to patrol and keep watch.

Beiping Prefecture!

Shen family.

"Father."

Shen Rong walked quickly into the main hall with an ugly expression.

"Still haven't found the person?"

Shen Wansan looked at Shen Rong and frowned.

"That lowly maid has already left, and Zhu Ying's steward is also gone."

"It seems they went to find Zhu Ying." Shen Rong snorted coldly.

"Sure enough, a grown daughter cannot be kept." A look of anger also appeared on Shen Wansan's old face.

"Father."

"We shouldn't have adopted this lowly maid in the first place; our Shen family raised her, and she actually turned her back on us." Shen Rong was also a bit angry.

But as soon as these words fell.

Shen Wansan immediately glared at Shen Rong.

Shen Rong's expression changed, a bit afraid: "It is the son who spoke too much."

"Alright."

"Don't talk about this anymore."

"Since she went to find him, then let her find him."

"Daning Prefecture is so big, it's not something she can find just because she wants to."

"And if she dies outside, then it has nothing to do with our Shen family."

"Have you found out the news about Zhu Ying?" Shen Wansan asked in a deep voice.

Shen Rong said immediately: "Dad, there is good news."

"The Daning Prefecture army and the Tatars in the northern frontier have started a war, and Northern Yuan seems to have been involved; now our Shen family's caravan has received quite a few military supplies to transport to Daning."

"It is said that the border army of Daning Prefecture has already taken action."

"Zhu Ying is just an ordinary person, neither good at literature nor martial arts, he will definitely die on the battlefield." Shen Rong said with a cold laugh.

"Have you sent anyone?" Shen Wansan asked cautiously.

"I have already sent people to Daning, and we have mastered Zhu Ying's detailed military registration; if he doesn't die on the battlefield, our Shen family has plenty of ways to make him die." Shen Rong sneered.

"Handle things thoroughly."

"Don't leave any leads for others."

"Although he is just a green kid, this Zhu Ying's grandmother seemed to have an extraordinary background before; although the person is dead, we still need to be cautious."

"Also, we must find a way to find Zhu Ying's steward and that girl, it's best if they never come back; after all, that girl is also a hidden danger; if she is discovered, our Shen family will be finished." Shen Wansan lowered his voice and said with a serious expression.

Shen Rong nodded immediately: "Father, don't worry, I understand this matter."

"How is the matter with the Lv family?"

"It's been so long, has it been negotiated?" Shen Wansan asked with concern.

"It has been negotiated."

"Just waiting for enough dowry, we can enter the door at any time." Shen Rong said proudly.

"Good."

A look of joy also appeared on Shen Wansan's old face: "Just waiting for our Shen family and the Lv family to successfully marry, then we will have completely stood firm in the Great Ming; imperial relatives and nobles, in the future our Shen family will also have a connection with the imperial family."

"Father is still wise."

"Second sister and third sister married into the descendants of the Huaixi nobles, and now we are marrying the fourth sister into the maternal family of the future Crown Princess."

"Our Shen family is marrying on both sides, we will surely be able to stand in the Great Ming forever and become the richest family in the Great Ming forever." Shen Rong said with admiration.

"This is also the reason why Zhu Ying must die; for our Shen family to prosper for a long time, we must marry into great clans; our Shen family's business is too big; if it weren't for the many interests and dealings with the Huaixi nobles over the years, perhaps we would have been swallowed up by those nobles without a drop left; now marrying into the Lv family is also to preserve the prosperity of our Shen family."

"In the end."

"Everything is for the prosperity of the family."

"For this, no matter what, it can be sacrificed."

"In this world, no matter how rich you are, you are just rich, and those people possess power; facing power, what can being rich do? It's just a pile of numbers." Shen Wansan said with a tone of seeing through things.

Northern Frontier, Tatar territory!

Behind a low-lying mountainous area.

Nearly four thousand Ming cavalry were scattered on both sides, each covered in blood stains, and each emitting bursts of bloody smell.

And the leading general, holding a long saber, was waiting quietly.

At this time!

Several fast riders quickly crossed the low-lying basin, quickly crossed the low-lying area, and came to Zhu Ying.

"Report to the Garrison Commander."

"The Tatar cavalry is less than four miles away from our army and is approaching this place."

"According to the Tatars' marching speed, they can arrive within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn." The scout squad leader reported loudly.

"Very good." Zhu Ying nodded and waved his hand: "Return to formation."

"Subordinates obey."

Several scouts quickly returned to the military formation.

"Brothers."

"This place is the graveyard I prepared for these Tatar cavalrymen."

"In this battle, just wait for them to come, and this will be their burial place."

"All soldiers listen to the order."

"Divide the four Thousand-Man Commander Camps into an offensive formation and hide behind the mountains."

"Just wait for the Tatars to enter the urn, and immediately fire arrows to raid and kill." Zhu Ying ordered immediately.

"Subordinates obey."

All the soldiers quickly dispersed and hid around this mountain range; the hiding was extremely tricky, just on the slope.

This place.

Was a place for an ambush that Zhu Ying found after searching for some time; it was also very difficult to find in this northern frontier plain; the terrain was at a high place, and there was also a low slope that was not high.

Looking from bottom to top, one could not discover the existence of the Ming army at all.

And.

Once they passed through this low-lying area and climbed up, there would be no chance to retreat.

This was the graveyard Zhu Ying chose for them.

Solving them.

The Tatars' cavalry could be considered to have been crippled by Zhu Ying; they wanted to pursue Zhu Ying but could not do it at all.

As long as their cavalry was crippled, Zhu Ying could come and go freely in their territory.

This was the purpose of Zhu Ying's ambush here.

Zhu Ying stood at the high place of the valley entrance, holding the Treasure Carving Bow, his gaze staring forward; every soldier was holding a bow and arrow, ready to go.

Everything was ready, just waiting for the Tatars to deliver themselves to the door.

For the past few days.

Zhu Ying deliberately left traces, fleeing while leaving traces, just to lure them into the trap.
