"Eldest Brother, sister-in-law, I'm leaving this to you... Old Chen and the others still aren't back, and I'm afraid they've run into trouble."

Ning Chen called it out.

He had been worried Xie Siyu could not manage them, but with Lin Ying helping he was easy in his mind now.

Lin Ying said, "Go. Your sister-in-law will deal with these nothings who don't even rate."

Ning Chen hesitated and said, "Sister-in-law, try to leave one alive."

In a fight to the death, leaving one alive is the most useless idea there is. It ties a fighter's hands and gets him hurt.

That was Lin Ying's whole answer.

Feng Qizheng and Gao Ziping said it in the same breath.

Ning Chen had no words for them. "Enough talk. Get back there."

On the way back Pan Yucheng asked curiously, "How did you guess they would move against Old General Chen?"

Ning Chen said heavily, "The Moon-Shadow Army hid for more than ten years and then appeared all at once. They are after something large."
