Zhu Wu lowered his head to examine the herbs in the bamboo basket, then turned back to look at Duan Tianyang, who nodded slightly, indicating that he should quickly send this group of foreigners away.

Zhu Wu took the bamboo basket handed to him by the foreigner and said with a smile, "Thank you."

Seeing this, the foreigner grinned so hard that he could hardly close his mouth, and then said, "Ten taels."

"What?" Zhu Wu looked at him in confusion.

The young foreigner pointed to the bamboo basket in Zhu Wu's hand and explained, "The herbs are for you, and the silver is for me."

Zhu Wu cursed in his heart: "Damn it!" He should have expected that the people of the Panda tribe would be so generous and so friendly to the Jin army. It turned out that all this was for money.

He went out to fight, so how could he have any money on him?

Just as Zhu Wu was about to return the herbs, Duan Tianyang came over, took out a silver ingot from his arms, handed it to the foreigner, and said, "We'll buy this herb."

The foreigner took the silver with a smile on his face and showed it off proudly to his companions.

This action seemed to open the floodgates. The foreigners behind him took off the bamboo baskets filled with herbs from behind and handed them to Duan Tianyang.

He originally wanted to avoid trouble and drive the foreigners away as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that this group of people were greedy and wanted to sell his herbs.

He said calmly, "We only need one basket of herbs, not so many."

The young barbarian immediately conveyed his meaning, but this caused dissatisfaction among the other barbarians, who protested loudly.

The young foreigner said directly to Duan Tianyang: "They said that if you buy mine, you have to buy theirs. We are your brothers, so you can't look down on us."

As soon as these words came out, Duan Tianyang felt a headache, and the noise around him became even louder.

He looked at Zhu Wu and ordered hurriedly: "Go find some silver and send them away!"

However, none of the Hongxing Army soldiers had any silver with them, so Lu Jingyuan, Hua Duoer, Gu Jianhong and several Linghua Palace disciples searched their bodies thoroughly and barely managed to collect over a hundred taels of silver, which they handed over to the foreigners.

Seeing that they had received the silver, the foreigners were satisfied and left happily.

After they left, Duan Tianyang's eyes fell on the row of neatly arranged bamboo baskets. He kicked the nearest bamboo basket with a flying kick, causing it to roll over, and the herbs in the basket spilled all over the ground.

With a wry smile and helplessness on his face, he cursed in a low voice: "F**k off!"

At this time, Zhu Wu approached Duan Tianyang and whispered softly, "Brother Tian, ​​these uncivilized barbarians are like this. They only care about money and don't care about human feelings."

Upon hearing this, Duan Tianyang's smile became even more bitter, and his thoughts drifted away to the modern world. Isn't it the same in some places in Africa?

Blindly relying on China's aid without any intention of giving back!

He turned around and waved to everyone, "Everyone has worked hard, go and have a rest."

Afterwards, Duan Tianyang walked slowly towards the other side of the field and sat down leaning against a large rock.

Seeing this, Tian Ye raised a half-smile at the corner of his mouth and looked at him and said, "It turns out that there are still people in this world that you can't deal with."

Duan Tianyang rolled his eyes at him without saying anything in response.

Tian Ye continued slowly, "If one day I hold great power, I will definitely not instigate the monarch to launch a meaningless war against the Divine Realm. Instead, I will urge the monarch to form an alliance with the Divine Realm and jointly pacify the Western Barbarians. After all, expanding territory is far more practical than a war with an unpredictable outcome."

Duan Tianyang stared at the field, his lips slightly raised, and he said slowly: "We'll talk about it when that day comes."

Tian Ye responded with a smile, then stopped smiling and asked seriously, "Can you show some leniency and spare my soldiers this time?"

Duan Tianyang shook his head and sighed: "It's too late to reverse what has happened."

Tian Ye nodded, as if he had understood Duan Tianyang's determination. He sighed softly: "It seems that we will become enemies instead of friends in the end."

After listening to this, Duan Tianyang also sighed, and then sang in a low voice: "Life is like a dream, and friends are like fog." After singing, he looked at Tian Ye again and said firmly: "It's difficult for us to be friends because we have different positions."

Tian Ye clenched his fists and remained silent.

Duan Tianyang smiled and comforted: "But you can rest assured, what I said will definitely count!"

After saying this, he closed his eyes and said no more.

Time passed by minute by minute, until the sky gradually approached the hour of dawn, Duan Tianyang slowly opened his eyes...

He summoned Zhu Wu, Lu Jingyuan, Hua Duoer, and Gu Jianhong, gathered them in front of him, and ordered: "Each of you four will lead 250 brothers to ambush around the Jin army camp. Remember, have the brothers wrap the arrows with cloth strips, and the cloth strips must be covered with pine oil. When I use the rocket as a signal, as soon as you see the rocket take off, you will immediately command the brothers to launch the rocket and attack the Jin army camp. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Lu Jingyuan and the others asked in confusion, "Brother Tian, ​​are you going to use the strategy of fire attack?"

Duan Tianyang nodded in confirmation: "That's right. Tonight's battle is of great significance. How can we let go of such a good opportunity? Everyone, hurry up and get ready!"

Everyone responded in unison, then dispersed and made arrangements according to Duan Tianyang's instructions.

In this forest, pine oil resources are extremely abundant and can be easily obtained from almost every tree.

Everyone tore the clothes into strips, used them to wrap the arrows, and then rubbed them back and forth on the tree until the strips of cloth fully absorbed the pine oil.

After everything was ready, Lu Jingyuan, Gu Jianhong, Hua Duoer and Zhu Wu each led 250 Hongxing soldiers, crossed the mountains in front, and quietly approached the Jin army camp in the valley.

With their departure, only Duan Tianyang, Tian Ye and several disciples of Linghua Palace were left at the scene.

Duan Tianyang pulled Tian Ye up from the ground and said gently, "General Tian, ​​there is a big movie showing tonight. I heard it is very exciting. I wonder if you are interested in watching it with me?"

Tian Ye's face was solemn, and he responded in a low voice: "Duan Tianyang, you will pay the price for what you did tonight in the future."

Duan Tianyang smiled gently and responded, "Let's talk about the future later." As he spoke, he held Tian Ye's arm tightly and led him to move forward.

Soon, they arrived at the foot of the mountain ahead, which was not very high.

Everyone climbed to the top of the mountain and looked down.

There was silence in the Jin army camp. The soldiers were all asleep, unaware that the god of death had already come quietly over their heads with a sickle in hand...

Duan Tianyang silently calculated the time in his mind and felt that the four groups of people were in place.

He nodded to a disciple from the Linghua Palace beside him. The disciple immediately understood, took out a fire starter from his arms, blew it gently, and the fire lit up, lighting the torch in his hand.

Duan Tianyang then picked up the longbow, put an arrow on the string, and aimed the arrow above the torch.

With a light cry, the cloth strip wrapped around the arrow was instantly ignited, and the flames reflected on his handsome face.

At this time, Tian Ye, who was standing aside, had a livid face and was trembling slightly. He said in a heavy tone: "Duan Tianyang, I remind you again, if you stop now, we may be able to make peace. Once the war starts, there will be no turning back..."

Duan Tianyang just looked at Tian Ye deeply without saying a word.

He exerted his strength with both arms, pulled the longbow to its full length, and then shot the arrow into the night sky without hesitation...
