Mo Ye remained unmoved by his blatant flattery. He focused intently on the javelin in his hand, as if through it he could see Zheng Quchi's contradictory nature, both kind and cruel.
Upon hearing this, She Kou first laughed triumphantly a few times, then said, "The Ye Kingdom is only just beginning to rise to prominence. How can it compare to the zenith of my Julu Kingdom? This mere new spear may be novel and unique, but it is utterly inadequate in the face of the three-bow crossbow."
Mu Senzhang also said, "In the face of absolute strength, no matter what kind of open or covert schemes they employ, they will only make a fool of themselves."
“That’s right. Julu Kingdom is skilled in mechanics and weapons. No other kingdom in the seven kingdoms can match their capabilities. Therefore, we must not be fooled by Zheng Quchi’s tricks. Tonight is the best time to launch an attack,” Mu Jin urged.
Seeing his eagerness to send troops, She Kou said disdainfully, "Taking Ye doesn't require any special consideration of timing or location; it can be done at any time."
What's the best time? There isn't one.
However, Mu Jin strongly advised, "Commander She, today I have led my troops to join you. I'm sure Xize and Beiyuan will know about this soon."
Because the battle was confined to a small hunting ground, spies were constantly on the move, and no secrets could be kept. After all, no one had the scheming and energy of Zheng Quchi to build a wall to cover the camp and create a secret base that no one could spy on.
"You mean, you're worried they'll come and interfere tomorrow too?" She Kou now understood Mu Jin's concerns.
"I am not sure about their ideas, but it is impossible to remain inactive and let the Julu Kingdom grow stronger."
Mu Jin's words struck a nerve with She Kou, who hesitated and looked at Mo Ye: "Mo Ye, what do you think?"
Mo Ye glanced sideways: "Since you are the commander, you should make the decision yourself."
Since Mo Ye was shot by Zheng Quchi's arrow, which damaged his heart meridian, he could no longer go to the battlefield. Therefore, he currently only holds the position of an internal affairs adjutant in the military camp.
She Kou frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The sooner the better. Very well, let's send out the troops tonight!"
——
Boom—
A streak of purple-white lightning flashed across the night, followed immediately by a thunderclap overhead. Inside the pitch-black Ye camp, Zheng Quchi lifted the curtain and looked up at the sky.
"Lieutenant Zheng, is it going to rain?" Liu Chaiji also ran out and asked in a panic.
No sooner had the question been asked than another bolt of lightning ripped through the sky, illuminating the faces of everyone around them with a blinding white light.
Zheng Quchi scratched his head in frustration: "It seems that God is determined not to let me get a good rest tonight."
