Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

After a long silence, Qin Xiu sighed. ”If I were as calm as you are now, I don’t think those soldiers would have died. Even now, I don’t know what the names of the soldiers who died to protect me are.”

After hearing this depressing past, Ye Jian said softly, ”Their duty is to protect the country. You don’t have to blame yourself.”

”That’s why I said you’re very good. You’re two years younger than me back then. You know the danger ahead and can still face it calmly. Ye Jian, you’re really good.” Qin Xiu smiled and said to the three people in the car, ”I’ll rest for a while. If you need me to drive, wake me up at any time.”

No one would disturb his rest. Ye Jian, who was sitting in the car, could faintly smell the smell of smoke in the night wind. Through the car window, she saw the endless mountains connected to the country. The concave peaks between the mountains were like the huge mouths of monsters, quietly waiting for their prey to take the initiative to enter their mouths.

Ye Jian tightened her grip on the pistol in her hand. Her dark eyes were calm, sharp, and cold.

No one in the car spoke. Qin Xiu closed his eyes and waited for the negotiation.

V8 sat in front with a gun in each hand. If he found anything unusual, he would shoot.

The roads in Lin Country were not as good as those in China. The road that led to the border of Lin Country was bumpy. As the car drove past, yellow dust rose.

This negotiation was not known to everyone. They were going secretly. Due to the unstable situation of the coup, they did not arrange for a private plane to fly directly to the country to negotiate. Instead, they sneaked in secretly.

Even the ruling group, the old government, and the armed forces of various ethnic groups in the country did not know the exact itinerary of the ambassador.

China had always been known for their strict security measures.

The car swayed but moved steadily along the road that extended into the country. Next, it would enter the road where the merchants from both countries traded. The car would blend in with the merchants’ vehicles and drive through two cities. It was expected that they would arrive at the negotiation location around 2 a.m., and the negotiation would officially begin at 7 a.m. tomorrow.

As the ambassador responsible for the negotiation, Qin Xiu’s safety had to be guaranteed. At the same time, he had to maintain a good mental state. No one woke him up. Even Ye Jian didn’t have the chance to drive. K7 and V8 took turns driving.

Outside the car, the night insects chirped as the evening breeze sent them off.

In the dark night, K7 drove the car. The high-beam lights straight ahead as they drove toward the first city they would reach.

Due to the flames of war, the neighboring city was quiet at 10 o’clock in the evening. There were only a few street lamps lit. The city sentry post that was not illuminated by many lights was completely enveloped by the night. Only one light was lit in the post, illuminating the tall and crude sentry post.

This checkpoint was not a checkpoint between countries. Instead, it was a checkpoint set up by the local armed forces. There were two sentries holding rifles in the sentry box. Their bodies were leaning crookedly against the chairs, and their heads were tilted. Their pillows were resting on the butts of their guns. They were snoring soundly.

The four local armed soldiers outside the sentry post carried guns on their backs and would walk back and forth from time to time. Occasionally, they yawned and rubbed their eyes, forcing themselves to complete their task until midnight.

Several dark figures ran along the dark side of the road, arching their backs as they sped toward the sentry post.

They were about 200 meters from the sentry post. A few dark figures hid in the grass by the roadside and communicated in their native language. ”There are six of them. Take down all of them and drag them into the forest to deal with them.”
