General Tang Jinghong's successful assassination spread quickly throughout the military camp, creating a tense and grim atmosphere.
"Has the general really been assassinated?"
"Not only was he assassinated, but he's also in critical condition, with several military doctors attending to him simultaneously."
"That damned assassin, can't he distinguish right from wrong?"
"Since he's an assassin, you shouldn't expect him to have any sense of morality."
"Let's not talk about him; focus on your duties. Even if the general is injured, the camp must not descend into chaos."
"You're right!"
Such conversations were common around the camp, though some held a pessimistic view.
"If something happens to the general, our mission in the eastern border might have to end prematurely."
"Shut up, do you want to be executed for saying that?"
"Yes, yes, I spoke out of turn. My apologies!"
