Chapter 362 All parties have arrived, and the show begins

There was silence in Hailanhak’s tent.

Hailanhak’s question was like a heavy hammer, which instantly made Hailan Jiabo speechless.

His mind raced, trying to find an answer that would address Hailanhak’s question without revealing his true intentions.

However, the true thoughts deep in his heart came to his mind at this moment – he certainly hoped that there would be a conflict between Chagan Uli and Hailanhak, and it would be best if both sides suffered losses, so that he could find his own opportunity in the chaos.

At this point, Hailan Jiabo’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was filled with indignation: “Chief, I think Chagan Wuli is really bullying us too much! Not only is he strong and overbearing, he even dares to ignore our authority.

I think we must let him know that the Hailan tribe is not something that can be underestimated!

Only in this way can we maintain our dignity and prevent them from looking down on us again!”

Hailan Jiabo’s words were righteous and there was a hint of indignation in his tone, as if he was concerned entirely about the dignity of the Hailan tribe.

However, in his heart he was secretly observing Hailanhak’s reaction, trying to see some clues from the leader’s expression.

After hearing this, Hailanhak showed a satisfied smile on his face and nodded gently: “Jiabo, your loyalty makes me very happy.

Since you also think that we cannot show weakness, then I feel relieved. In this case, do you have any questions?”

These understated words made Hailan Jiabo’s heart sink suddenly.

He knew that Hailanhak was testing him. If he continued to ask about the previous events, it might arouse Hailanhak’s suspicion.

Thinking of this, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and quickly adjusted his attitude.

“I understand!” Hailan Jiabo bowed, with a hint of respect in his tone.

“I will definitely live up to the trust of the leader and complete the task brilliantly!”

Hailanhak nodded with satisfaction, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes: “Very good, Jiabo, I have always trusted your ability.

Although this mission is difficult, I believe you can accomplish it. Go ahead and don’t let me down.”

“I obey your command!” Hailan Jiabo saluted again, then turned around and left the tent.

The moment he walked out of the big tent, Hailan Jiabo felt a gust of cold wind blowing in his face, making him shiver involuntarily.

There was a complex emotion in his eyes, and his heart was full of doubt and anxiety.

“What does he mean?” Hailan Jiabo murmured in a low voice, with a hint of confusion in his tone, “Is it trust or temptation?”

He looked back at Hailanhak’s tent, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

He knew that although Hailanhak’s attitude seemed gentle, it was actually full of unfathomable meanings.

He must be more cautious and never let his true intentions be exposed.

“But it’s better this way. At least Hailanhaq’s plan to cooperate with Chagan Uli has completely failed.” Hailan Jiabo said secretly in his heart, with a look of determination in his eyes.

“Only in this way can I continue to win his trust and buy time for the next plan.”

……

When Hailan Jiabo returned to his tent, it was already late at night and the cold wind was still howling across the grassland.

He slowly sat down at the desk, his eyes deep and his expression complicated. The candlelight in the tent flickered slightly, reflecting on his face, and between the light and darkness, his mood seemed to be caught in a silent game.

He closed his eyes and thought back to the psychological battle that had taken place in the Hailanhak tent not long ago.

Every word and every look of Hailanhak was like a sharp blade with hidden edge, testing his bottom line.

And he had to proceed cautiously and prudently in this invisible contest.

“Does he trust me, or is he testing me?” Hailan Jiabo murmured in a low voice, with a hint of doubt and uneasiness in his tone.

However, he quickly shook his head and put these distracting thoughts behind him.

Although he still felt a little uneasy and felt that some things were beyond his control, he also understood that the general direction was still moving forward according to what he had previously envisioned.

“Just as Hailanhak said, transferring me to the wing this time may indeed be a big trap.” Hailan Jiabo whispered to himself, with a hint of calm thought in his eyes.

“But at the same time, this may also be my greatest opportunity.”

His eyes fell on the map on the table, his fingers gently ran over the area on the flank, and a fiery light flashed in his eyes.

As an ambitious general, he knew that in the Hailan tribe, it was not enough to rely on means and strategies alone to dominate. The only thing that could really allow him to gain a foothold and replace Hailanhak was one condition – military merit!
Only by winning on the battlefield and accumulating enough prestige can he convince everyone.

“Once I have accumulated considerable military merit in this attack, I will have a better chance of replacing Hailanhak.”

The corners of Hailan Jiabo’s mouth slightly raised, revealing a sneer, “He thought that transferring me to the wing would weaken my power, but in fact, he gave me a great opportunity.”

Thinking of this, Hailan Jiabo’s eyes became more determined. He knew that although the current situation was complicated, this was the best time for him to prove himself.

He must not miss this opportunity. No matter whether there is an opportunity or a trap ahead, he must go all out.

“Someone come here!” He suddenly raised his head, his tone revealing a hint of majesty.

A personal soldier quickly walked into the tent and knelt on one knee: “General, what do you want?”

“Pass the order down, reorganize the troops immediately and prepare to march!” Hailan Jiabo said in a low but firm tone, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, “The entire army will set out immediately and rush to the front line!”

Upon hearing this, the personal soldier quickly responded, “Yes! I will pass on the order right away!”

A moment later, the sounds of soldiers organizing their equipment and preparing to set out could be heard outside the tent.

The entire camp became busy in an instant. In the light of the fire, the war horses neighed and the weapons clashed one after another, as if a storm was brewing.

Hailan Jiabo stood at the door of the tent, looking into the night sky in the distance.

His expression was grim and his eyes were deep, as if he could see through the darkness and see the battlefield ahead.

“Hailanhaq…” He murmured in a low voice, with a hint of mixed emotions in his tone.

“You think you are in control of everything, but this time, I will use my military exploits to prove that I am the true future of the Hailan tribe.”

The sound of the wind was low and long, and the night on the grassland became deeper and deeper.

And in this darkness, Hailan Jiabo’s troops were quietly gathering and marching towards the front line.

Every step he takes is full of ambition and calculation, and this game of power and destiny is quietly unfolding. …

Hu Yanhuan sat upright on a high platform, wearing a black sable fur coat, and his whole body was as motionless as a sculpture.

He slightly closed his eyes, as if he was resting. The atmosphere around him was extremely cold and solemn. Even the guards and confidants in the tent did not dare to make a sound.

The cold wind blew in from outside the tent, blowing his robe and bringing a bone-chilling chill.

At this moment, a confidant quickly walked up to the platform, knelt on one knee, and said in a low and respectful voice: “General, I just received news that Hailanhak has deployed troops and sent Hailan Jiabo to the flank.”

Hearing these words, Hu Yanhuan’s slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a cold light as sharp as a knife shot out of his eyes.

His eyes were like an eagle’s, as if they could see through all illusions.

However, this gleam of light lasted only for a moment, and then his eyes returned to calm. He slowly closed his eyes and continued to rest.

The tent was completely silent, with only Hu Yanhuan’s low voice like a cold wind slowly ringing out, with a hint of chilliness: “It seems that the traitor in the Hailan tribe… is Hailan Jiabo.”

His tone was calm, as if he was stating a fact that had long been established, without the slightest surprise or astonishment.

Indeed, this piece of news did not mean much to him, because all of this was exactly the plan he and Hailanhak had already discussed when they met alone that day.

“Hai Lan Jia Bo…” Hu Yanhuan murmured in a low voice, with a slight sneer on his lips, and a hint of disdain in his tone, “Ambitious, scheming, but not knowing that he has already become a pawn in the hands of others.”

He slowly raised his hand and tapped lightly on the armrest, making a low sound, as if adding a touch of invisible pressure to the silent atmosphere.

His thoughts raced in his mind, deducing every next step.

“Lin Zhongyun…” Hu Yanhuan whispered the name in his heart, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

“The reason you haven’t taken action yet is because you are not sure, and more importantly, things are not yet critical.”

He knew very well that Lin Zhongyun was an extremely cautious person and would never fall into the enemy’s trap easily.

Because of this, he needed to push the situation to a more tense state and force Lin Zhongyun to take action.

“Now, I need to add fuel to the fire to make it burn even more vigorously.” Hu Yanhuan said in a low voice, with a hint of coldness in his tone.

“Lin Zhongyun was forced to take action and take risks.”

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

He knew very well that Lin Zhongyun had already learned a key piece of information at this moment – “When arriving at the front line, Li Zhongwu will die.”

This news not only added fuel to the fire, but was also like a sharp knife hanging over Lin Zhongyun’s head.

“I guess Lin Zhongyun must be feeling very uncomfortable right now, right?” Hu Yanhuan murmured in a low voice, with a hint of coldness in his tone, “But this alone is not enough…”

He stood up slowly, his sable fur coat fluttering slightly, making him look even more stern.

His eyes fell on the map on the table again, and his fingers lightly ran over several key locations, as if he was deducing a more complicated layout in his mind.

“To completely throw Lin Zhongyun off balance, just a fire is not enough.”

Hu Yanhuan whispered with a hint of certainty in his tone, “I must use more powerful bait and cast a bigger lure. As the saying goes, you can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb…”

His gaze rested on a certain location on the map, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He already had a bold plan, a plan that was enough to force Lin Zhongyun to take risks.

“Someone come here!” Hu Yanhuan suddenly looked up, his voice low and majestic.

A trusted aide immediately stepped forward, bowed his head and stood beside him respectfully: “General, what do you want?”

“Someone, invite Hu Yanzhong here immediately!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards outside the tent immediately took the order and left. Hu Yanhuan’s eyes fell on the map again, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a low sound.

He knew that the situation was becoming clearer, but to make the fire burn more fiercely, he needed to add more fuel.

And this firewood must be lit by the person he trusts most.

Soon, a steady sound of footsteps was heard outside the tent. Hu Yanzhong, a burly man with an imposing manner, walked in wearing iron armor.

Hu Yanzhong bowed his hands, his tone showing respect, “I wonder what you want me to do?”

Hu Yanhuan raised his head, his eyes revealing a deep trust.

He slowly stood up, walked in front of Hu Yanzhong, and said directly: “Although the overall situation is under control, it has become increasingly confusing. Now I have an extremely important matter that I need you to complete in person.”

As he spoke, Huyan Huan took out a token engraved with wolf patterns from his arms and solemnly handed it to Huyan Zhong.

This token is completely black and exudes a cold aura. It is obviously a symbol of conveying top-secret orders within the Northern Barbarians.

“Take this token with you and set off immediately to the army of Yelu Cangqi, the commander of the Wolf Division.”

Hu Yanhuan spoke in a low but firm tone, with a look of certainty in his eyes, “No matter what happens on the front line, you must not take the initiative to attack without my order.”

Hu Yanzhong’s expression suddenly became solemn when he heard this. He knew that this token was of great significance, representing Hu Yanhuan’s absolute trust in him and the importance of this mission.

Without any hesitation, he solemnly took the token and said firmly: “General, rest assured, I will complete the task!”

Hu Yanhuan nodded with satisfaction, his eyes showing a hint of relief: “Very good, you are now the person I trust the most. This mission is of great importance, and there must be no mistakes.

Although Yelu Cangqi is the commander of the Wolf Division, he has always been unruly. You must put interests first and keep him stable. As long as he cooperates, our plan can proceed smoothly. “

“I understand!” Hu Yanzhong bowed again, his eyes revealing a firmness.

Just as Hu Yanzhong was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and turned around and said, “General, there is one more thing I must report to you. The Khan’s army is approaching the front line and is expected to join us within two days.”

Hearing this, a light suddenly flashed in Hu Yanhuan’s eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

He slowly walked back to the table, his eyes fell on the map, and his finger gently tapped the position of Chagan Uli’s army. His voice was low and a little excited: “Very good…, if that’s the case, then the good show is about to begin…”

He raised his head, his eyes swept across the tent coldly, and his tone was firm: “You must remember that the success or failure of this plan depends on your cooperation with Yelu Cangqi.”

Yan Zhong nodded, his eyes showing determination: “I will do my best to live up to your expectations!”
