"The first big fish is the spies who have been lurking in our Northern Army and secretly colluding with the barbarian kingdom. The morale of the Northern Army is so low, which is inextricably linked to their various overt and covert provocations. We must find them as soon as possible."

After a pause, Qin Changye continued, "If I'm not mistaken, the spies have already informed the Barbarian Kingdom about the military pay, weapons, and armor I brought today and put into the warehouse. Tonight, the Barbarian Kingdom will send its most elite night raid team to raid our Northern Border Camp and steal these military pay, weapons, and armor."

"And the barbarian kingdom sent out this elite night raid squad, which is the second big fish I want to catch."

Qin Changye's words made Ta Ye and the others look enlightened.

Upon arriving in the North, it is important to stabilize morale, but equally important to identify and eliminate any spies lurking in the shadows.

Moreover, by uncovering the spies and taking down the most elite night raid squads, we can not only stabilize morale but also boost morale.

Get more in one fell swoop.

"Lord Ren, Master Ta, Chairman Li, Xiu'er, tonight each of you will hold a recording stone and secretly watch the four gates of our army camp. When those spies lurking in the army secretly open the gates, record their appearance and actions using the recording stone. But remember not to expose yourselves or stop them. Let them let the barbarian night raid team in so that we can kill them."

After Qin Changye finished speaking, Ren Pingsheng and the others went to do as he said.

"General Qin, what about us?"

At this moment, Yu Sheng, the third son of the Marquis of Zhennan, couldn't help but ask.

The other young masters from various noble families all turned their eager gazes toward Qin Changye.

They came to contribute to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now that they have finally reached the northern border, they naturally do not want to lie down and want to do their part.

Especially when they first arrived at the Northern Border Camp, the way the soldiers looked at them made them eager to prove that they were not Chu Fei, not there to gain prestige, but there to kill the barbarian army and protect their homeland.

"You have a more important task. Come with me."

Qin Changye led a group of princes into the storeroom.

Yu Sheng couldn't help but wonder, "General Qin, are you planning to have us take all the military pay, armor, and weapons here, so that the barbarian night raid team will have made a wasted trip?"

"You're still too kind!"

Qin Changye shook his head and said, "We're going to ambush them around the warehouse and trap them like turtles in a jar!"

"Tonight, I'll lead you to kill!"

Yu Sheng slapped his forehead, then said with some worry, "If we rely on ourselves, we might not be a match for the night raid team. Should we wake up all 100,000 troops in the Northern Border and have them ambush around the warehouse?"

Qin Changye continued to shake his head: "Before the spies hidden among the 100,000 troops are eliminated, if we rashly wake them all up and they are all lying in ambush, the news will inevitably leak out, and the night raid team will most likely not come."

After a pause, Qin Changye continued, "Just in case, we'll pre-emptively release poison gas into the warehouse. When the barbarian raiding squad enters, they'll instantly inhale the gas and become poisoned, losing their fighting ability. At that point, they'll be nothing but helpless victims!"

Qin Changye's words made Yu Sheng and other scions of noble families exclaim that experience truly matters.

But then I thought about it again, Qin Changye is the same age as them, and he's not older than them at all.

Qin Changye quickly set up a poison gas array in the warehouse. As soon as someone broke in, the poison gas would instantly fill the entire warehouse.

Then, he and the group of scions of noble families lay in ambush in the shadows around the warehouse.

These scions of noble families, who were living in luxury in the capital just a few days ago, are now wearing ill-fitting armor, clutching swords, their palms sweaty.

"General Qin, don't laugh at me, but I've never killed anyone in my life!" Yu Sheng suddenly said in a low voice, his tone revealing extreme nervousness.

"Actually, me too, I've never killed a single person!"

"And me too. Don't let my usual loud and aggressive demeanor fool you; I'm actually killing someone for the first time!"

"I'm about to face the barbarian kingdom's most elite night raid squad, and the killing is about to begin. I'm actually a little scared!"

……

These scions of noble families spoke one after another, and under the moonlight, one could see beads of sweat the size of beans constantly appearing on their foreheads.

"It's good to be afraid. If you're afraid, you won't underestimate your enemy." Qin Changye looked at the group of pale-faced but still determined young men and softened his tone for once. "When you're killing people later, don't think too much. Your hands might shake a little the first time you kill someone, and you might feel nauseous afterward. These are normal phenomena. As you kill more people, these symptoms will gradually disappear. Also, don't treat those barbarian people as human beings. They are beasts who want to invade our territory and enslave our people."

Qin Changye's words strengthened the resolve in the eyes of the young nobles, and they gripped their swords even tighter.

Not long ago, they were drinking and chatting in the tallest restaurant in the capital, and watching music and dance in the largest brothel in the capital...

They originally thought that the Great Zhou Dynasty was prosperous and thriving, with both the capital and the northern border being places of plenty.

However, along the way, they saw dilapidated thatched huts everywhere, and the people were dressed in tattered clothes, some even without clothes at all, walking barefoot on the cold ground.

Compared to the prosperity and tranquility of the imperial city, this place is nothing short of hell on earth.

Their hearts were deeply moved.

All of this is because of war, because of those despicable barbarian invaders.

They were wondering, if those of them who had swords retreated, what would happen to those who didn't have swords?

They were also wondering, if they abandoned the northern border today, would they also have to abandon the western frontier tomorrow? And the day after tomorrow, would they even have to hand over the imperial city and turn it into a living hell?

Looking back suddenly, they realized they had nowhere to retreat!

Under the cover of night, the barbarian army's most elite raiding squad sneaked into the camp.

Those spies who colluded with the enemy had already arranged everything: the camp gates were ajar, the patrol routes were left unmarked, and the location of the warehouses was clearly marked.

They thought that this time, just like countless times before, they would rob the Great Zhou's military supplies, kill a few foolish guards, and retreat safely before dawn.

The commander of the night raid squad kicked open the warehouse door. The moment the door opened, the poison gas array was activated, and green poison gas exploded. Several barbarian soldiers standing in front fell to the ground on the spot, foaming at the mouth.

"Retreat immediately!"

The leading general was also seriously poisoned and roared loudly.

However, it was too late.

When they staggered out of the warehouse, their faces were black and their mouths were foaming at the mouth; they barely had the strength to stand.

Qin Changye was the first to leap out from the shadows, his ink sword drawing a cold arc in the moonlight, piercing the leading general's chest with pinpoint accuracy.

Yu Sheng followed closely behind, raising his knife with both hands and slashing at a struggling barbarian soldier, splattering blood all over his face.

He paused for a moment, then bent over and began to vomit. After vomiting twice, he raised his knife and charged at the next barbarian soldier.

The other scions of noble families also rushed forward, beginning their first killing spree.

Soon, the shouts of battle awakened the other soldiers in the camp.

They rushed out of their tents and witnessed a scene they would never forget:

Qin Changye was leading the group of aristocratic scions, whom they thought were there to gain experience, in the open space in front of the warehouse, slaughtering the barbarian army's most elite night raid squad.

These scions of wealthy families, who were used to living in luxury, were vomiting, pale-faced, and even their hands were shaking so badly they couldn't hold their knives steady... but not one of them backed down.

It turns out, they really are different from Chu Fei!

"General Qin, this is so awesome! It's absolutely amazing!"

Yu Sheng shouted excitedly as he vomited, "This battle is over! I killed eight night raid squads of soldiers. The old soldiers from the North who looked down on me during the day are now praising me highly."

Beside him, the other scions of noble families nodded repeatedly, their hands trembling, under the approving gazes of the veterans from the Northern Border.

This must be what it feels like to be recognized!

At that moment, they felt that fighting for their country was far more interesting and meaningful than indulging in pleasure or listening to music in brothels!

"You're already enjoying it after only a short while?"

Qin Changye shook his head and casually buried the corpses of several generals from the night raid team whose cultivation was above the King Martial Realm in the second level of the Burial Immortal Tower.

When they were dug out again, they had become immortal puppets loyal only to Qin Changye.

Then, Qin Changye's gaze swept over the group of young masters from aristocratic families:

"Change into barbarian army uniforms, load up several carts with oil, and come with me to the barbarian army camp!"

"Tonight, I'll take you to the heavens!"
