Chapter 431: Courting Death

Translator: Atlas Studios       Editor: Atlas Studios

The old generals suddenly realized something!

Not only was Yin Huaixi the general of this eastern expedition, but he was also the heir of King You and the emperor’s nephew. Even though the case against King You had yet to be resolved…

With how much the emperor valued Yin Huaixi, they could act rashly.

Besides, other than Yin Huaixi’s status, the power of that arrow just now was something that even old generals like them felt scared of!

The old generals slowly lowered their heads and knelt on one knee on the ground. They cupped their hands. “Greetings, Head General Yin!”

Yin Huaixi’s gaze was indifferent, neither happy nor angry.

Uncle Chang Ning, who was standing at the side and waiting to die, sensed that something was amiss.

Wait, wasn’t he already dead?

He had seen with his own eyes that Yin Huaixi’s arrow was aimed at his head. He had no way to retreat or dodge. He could only stand on the spot and wait for death.

He also heard the arrow pierce through his helmet with a clang. The sharp and powerful arrow made him dizzy and stagger, almost falling to the ground and embarra.s.sing himself on the spot.

In his experience, this arrow was enough to shoot through his head.

It was impossible for him to still be alive!

But why could he still hear voices?

Just as Uncle Chang was wondering if he was “dead” or “living.”

Eunuch Zhu’s face was pale. His fingers trembled as he pointed at Uncle Chang Ning’s head. “General Chang, there’s an arrow inserted into your head…

It was the arrow that Yin Huaixi had shot just now.

He had originally thought that Yin Huaixi’s arrow would take Chang Ningbo’s life, and he was so frightened that he almost fainted. Unexpectedly, the arrow pierced through Chang Ningbo i s head.

However, Uncle Chang Ning was still standing alive!

How could he still be alive after being shot through the head?

Eunuch Zhu had seen many dead people in the palace and had seen the world. However, the scene in front of him was too strange. For a moment, he couldn’t help but crack his teeth and tremble.

Uncle Chang Ning realized something and took off his helmet in a daze— Immediately, he gasped!

The soldiers were all wearing iron helmets. Yin Huaixi’s arrow had pierced through his iron helmet. As long as it was a little deeper, the arrow would pierce through the helmet.

Uncle Chang Ning looked up at Yin Huaixi.

Their gazes collided!

Yin Huaixi was wearing a black iron mask that covered the upper halt of his face. His slightly curved lips were like blades.

There was a series of gasps in the tent.

They were all old generals who had fought on the battlefield and were used to seeing dead people. If Yin Huaixi shot Uncle Chang Ning on the spot, they would at most be shocked that Yin Huaixi was bold enough to shoot a meritorious general.

Yin Huaixi had clearly wanted to kill Uncle Chang Ning just now. Why hadn’t he killed him?

Had his arrow missed?

Of course not!

It was because Yin Huaixi had no intention of killing Uncle Chang Ning at all.

This arrow was released from the bow. Yin Huaixi had calculated the strength and trajectory perfectly. His goal was not to kill, but to intimidate!

They were convinced.

All of them knew how to kill.

However, even they, who had been on the battlefield for many years, could not shoot this arrow.

It was very difficult to subdue someone, but it was also very simple.

It was enough to prove that he was stronger than them. he

However, how he proved it was the key.

As a general, brute force alone was not enough to convince others. However, a group of martial artists might not take a fancy to him just because he was smart. On the other hand, Yin Huaixi’s arrow weighed both.

Chang Ningbo reacted and suddenly lifted his clothes. He knelt on the ground with a bang and shouted, “Greetings, Head General Yin!”

Yin Huaixi nodded and swept his gaze across the tent. “Trespa.s.sing into the main general i s tent is disrespectful to the main general. Chang Ningbo will be punished with 40 strokes of the paddle. The rest of you will receive 30 strokes of the paddle each!!”

Not only was Uncle Chang Ning not dissatisfied at all, but he also responded loudly, “I understand.”

The other old generals also received their orders. It wasn’t that they were deliberately making things difficult for Yin Huaixi today.

The army had been stationed for more than a month, but there was still no movement from the army. If this continued, it would affect the morale of the army.

The situation in Shandong was complicated, and it was not easy to suppress the rebellion. If he was not careful, he would lose his head.

No matter how serious it was, it would affect the family.

They were all veterans who had been through hundreds of battles. How could they hand over their lives to a young man who was only 15 years old, sick, and crippled?

It wasn’t that they looked down on Yin Huaixi. Yin Huaixi was only twelve years old, but he was already outstanding enough to fight against Di people with his father, King You.

In their opinion, although Yin Huaixi was outstanding, he had never officially led an army in the past, so he was not enough to pacify Shandong.

If even generals like them thought so, what would the soldiers think?

Therefore, ever since the army entered Shandong, it was inevitable that there would be some bad rumors in the army. The morale of the army was greatly affected.

It was also because of this that they had repeatedly pressured Yin Huaixi to come up with a countermeasure.

On the one hand, she wanted to see if Yin Huaixi could come up with a good plan to deal with Li Qiguang and if he was qualified to be the main general.

On the other hand, it was also to appease the soldiers.

However, Yin Huaixi ignored them.

Since Yin Huaixi did not succeed, it was inevitable that they would be anxious. Today, they had lost their composure.

However, from the looks of it now, how could Yin Huaixi not have his plans?

She was clearly too successful.

Therefore, he had deliberately waited here for them to make a mistake so that Yin Huaixi could use this opportunity to establish his authority. In the end, he had even beaten Uncle Chang Ning up.

This was a trap, waiting for them to fall into it.

She was even disdainful of scheming.

After the few of them left the tent, one of the very tall and strong old generals slapped his forehead. “Oh no, I forgot to ask Master Yin when the battle is going to start!

Another old general with a short beard tilted his head to look at him. “Dare you

Head General Yin had been sitting in a wheelchair just now. His eyes were indifferent, but his aura was so oppressive that people couldn’t lift their heads.

Why had they provoked Head General Yin?

It was all because of the “war”!

Don’t ask him why he didn’t ask when the battle would start. If he did, he was courting death!

The tall and strong old general immediately choked and said, “I don’t dare!”

Another old general with the demeanor of a Confucian general said lightly, “I don’t dare either!

Chang Ningbo was stunned by the general, but he was not dissatisfied. “Why ask? General Yin even calculated the arrow that was shot at my helmet accurately. Who the h.e.l.l is Li Qiguang? I reckon that General Yin has already arranged clearly how people should die in his heart. We just have to listen to the general’s orders!”

The old generals looked at each other and nodded.

At this moment, Uncle Chang Ning sighed. “Heroes come from young people. We’re all old!”

With just one arrow, this old general who had been on the battlefield for a long time could already see the situation of a great victory against the rebellion. The complicated situation in Shandong for hundreds of years was not as terrifying as Yin Huaixi’s arrow..
