Chapter 25: Infiltrating the Enemy Camp, The Experienced Luo Li

Upon hearing Liu Bai’s record, everyone was filled with awe. A single man had killed dozens of enemy generals! This was unprecedented in the war with the Northern Xiongnu Empire. What Liu Bai had done was groundbreaking in the history of the Great Zhou.

“Xiao Bai, well done!” Luo Feng gave Liu Bai a thumbs-up. The others were equally amazed. They admired Liu Bai deeply and held him in reverence. After all, someone so young already had such cultivation. No one could predict how far he would go in the future. It would definitely be more than just reaching the level of Battle Marquis or Battle King. Could it be that the Great Zhou was about to give rise to a Battle Saint?

That thought made everyone even more respectful of Liu Bai.

…

Meanwhile, in the Northern Xiongnu Empire’s military camp, the high-ranking officers leading the expedition against the Great Zhou had gathered. Among them was a man in leather armor, his expression sharp and killing intent surging. The heavy atmosphere filled the entire camp.

“You’re telling me a young expert has appeared in the Great Zhou army, capable of killing dozens of our generals, including several senior commanders at the Battle Sect level?” the man in leather armor asked coldly.

Kneeling before him was a trembling soldier. He nodded, “Yes, Commander! That youth is terrifying… completely inhuman!”

This soldier was one of the few survivors from the battlefield. Just thinking of Liu Bai’s slaughtering figure filled him with fear. Dozens of generals were slaughtered like pigs. It was too horrifying to be real.

“What’s that youth’s name?” the leather-armored commander asked.

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?” The commander’s face turned cold. “He killed so many of our generals, and you don’t even know his name?”

“I really don’t, Commander. That person had never appeared on the battlefield before. It’s like this was his first time fighting. There’s absolutely no information on him.”

The soldier trembled, not daring to look up.

“Fine, you may go.”

The commander grunted and fell into deep thought. “Luo Feng should be arriving at Jubei City soon. We failed to take the city today and lost so many troops. With Luo Feng arriving, taking it will be even more impossible.”

“Should we retreat?” someone asked.

His eyes were filled with reluctance. “No, there’s no need to retreat. Tomorrow, King Hatu will arrive. With him here, we may still be able to take Jubei City!”

At that moment, a voice rang from outside the tent. A Female General in red leather armor, her figure curvaceous, strode in. Hearing her words, everyone’s eyes lit up.

“King Hatu is personally coming?”

“He’s the strongest warrior of the Fire Fox Tribe! He’s already at the Battle King level. With his strength, we’ll definitely take Jubei City!”

“That’s great!”

The morale rose again with renewed hope.

…

The next day, the Northern Xiongnu army camp was busy—soldiers tending fires and cooking meals, commanders preparing to welcome King Hatu.

At the same time, several li away, Luo Feng was already leading his troops forward.

“Father, if we move forward in such a grand manner, the Northern Xiongnu army will surely raise their defenses. If we can’t catch them off guard, why not let me lead a small squad to sneak into the camp, cause chaos from within, and then coordinate with you for a joint attack?” Liu Bai suggested.

Luo Feng pondered over the idea.

“Brother Liu Bai, I’ll go with you!” Luo Li suddenly said.

Liu Bai was about to refuse, thinking it too dangerous, but Luo Li spoke first, “I’ve done plenty of infiltration and assassination missions. Don’t worry about me. I must go with you.”

Liu Bai smiled helplessly, “Alright then.”

Luo Feng also approved, saying, “Be careful.”

“Don’t worry, Father, I’ll take care of A’Li.”

“I told you to be careful. A’Li is experienced—I’m not worried about her,” Luo Feng laughed.

Luo Li grinned proudly.

Without bringing anyone else, just the two of them set off toward the enemy camp. Within the Northern Xiongnu camp, patrolling soldiers walked back and forth in tight security.

Liu Bai originally wanted to rush in, kill two soldiers, and put on their uniforms—just like he’d seen in dramas. But before he could act, Luo Li stopped him. “Wait, Brother Liu Bai. Let’s observe first.”

Liu Bai nodded and held back.

He quickly noticed that the patrols came in continuous waves, each with fixed routes and rotations. If he had acted rashly, not only would he have been discovered before changing clothes, but even after disguising himself, wandering blindly would still expose him.

Thinking that, he gave Luo Li a thumbs-up. “As expected of my wife!”

Luo Li gave him a sweet smile.

After observing for a while, they waited for a patrol gap. Taking the chance, they slipped into the camp. With a palm each, they struck the heads of two unsuspecting soldiers from behind.

Bang!

The soldiers dropped dead instantly, without even making a sound.

Before the next patrol arrived, Liu Bai and Luo Li dragged the bodies into an empty tent, changed into their uniforms, and hid the corpses under the bed to buy more time.

They stepped out, posing as Northern Xiongnu soldiers. Following the patrol route they had just memorized, they began to “patrol.”

Liu Bai asked, “A’Li, what’s next?”

He now realized that when it came to infiltration and assassination, Luo Li was the expert. He decided to follow her lead.

“Capture the leader first. Observe the commanders’ positions in the camp, then locate the granary. We’ll set it on fire to cause chaos. That’ll signal Father’s army. Then we find the enemy commander and take him out to complete the joint attack,” Luo Li explained clearly, brimming with experience.

Liu Bai was impressed by his wife. “A’Li, you’re amazing.”

“Of course. Who do you think you married?”

Luo Li gave him a smug smile—praising herself and Liu Bai all at once.

They continued their “patrol,” but in reality, they were observing the camp. Soon, they found a tent that was larger than the others, heavily guarded—it was clearly the main command tent.

Because the soldiers were cooking meals, it didn’t take them long to locate the granary too.

“It’s time to act!” they left the patrol route, reached the granary, took out fire starters, and lit the supply stockpile ablaze.

In an instant, flames shot skyward from the Northern Xiongnu camp!

The entire camp plunged into chaos.

“Fire! Fire!”

“Damn it! How could a fire break out? Someone must have infiltrated the camp! Find them now!”

Inside the command tent, a general stormed out. Seeing the towering flames, his face darkened. “Damn it! Despicable Great Zhou scum!”

Just then, a soldier rushed over and knelt. “General, we found a Great Zhou army several li outside the camp!”

“What?! How many of them?” the general asked urgently.

But before he could get an answer, the “soldier” suddenly lunged forward with terrifying speed, stabbing a dagger into his throat.

That soldier was none other than Luo Li!
