I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 826 - Chapter 826 Conflict

Chapter 826: Conflict Chapter 826: Conflict Editor: Atlas Studios Fan Zijin really wanted to faint, but he had been recuperating too well recently and was too full of vital energy and blood to faint.

He could only sit on the chair and glare at Qi Haoran, trying to make him change his words.

Qi Haoran touched his nose and said, “This was an accident.” Fan Zijin sneered in disbelief.

“Go tell Eldest Cousin and Ah Ling.

Don’t tell me.” Was he too tired of leading a peaceful life to be robbing West Xia’s gold mine?

Although they had defeated West Xia previously, West Xia was much more well-off than them.

Now that Great Qi had just stabilized and was on the path to prosperity, he did not want to start another war at this moment.

“Tell me what’s the matter?” Mu Yangling said as she pushed the door open with Little Bear.

When she heard that Qi Haoran was back, she’d come over to take a look and Little Bear insisted on following.

Little Bear let go of his mother’s hand and rushed towards his father.

When he ran in front of his father, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and placed his hands in front of his nose.

He started fanning hard as he said disdainfully, “So stinky.

So stinky.

Daddy didn’t bathe again.” Qi Haoran shifted Little Bear aside and said to Mu Yangling, “I was just about to tell you that something happened at the border this time.

I went to West Xia and robbed a gold mine.” Little Bear had already seen the large gold nugget on the table.

He ran forward to hug it in his arms and looked up at his father.

“Daddy, is this a gift for me?” The corners of Qi Haoran’s mouth twitched.

He shifted his son aside and said to Mu Yangling, “This is the gold refined from the gold mine.” Mu Yangling took out the gold from Little Bear’s arms and looked at it.

“The purity is quite high.

How many days has it been since you went to the border?

Not only did you rob the gold mine, but you also managed to refine gold during this short period of time?” “This was in the gold mine to begin with.” How could he have the time to refine?

Besides, he was surrounded by soldiers and no craftsmen with expertise in this area.

Seeing that the gold had been taken away by his mother, Little Bear jumped up and wanted to take it back.

Mu Yangling simply stuffed it into his arms and pointed at the soft couch in the study.

“Go sit there and play.” Mu Yangling asked Spring, who was guarding outside the door, to go to the kitchen to get some soup and food for Qi Haoran.

Then, she sat beside him and asked, “Tell me, didn’t you go to the border to patrol?

Why did you go to someone else’s territory to rob their gold mine?” Actually, it was really an accident that Qi Haoran robbed this gold mine.

Recently, the West Xia army had been harrassing Great Qi’s borders more than usual.

Coupled with the fact that the Qin family which had fled to West Xia was discovered to be the mastermind behind the theft of the grain seeds in Ju Prefecture, Qi Haoran was even more careful.

Therefore, he brought his army to the border to strengthen the defense and patrol the defensive line.

West Xia’s soldiers didn’t carry out any major operations at the border.

Every time, 300 to 400 people would rush over to plunder and then retreat, or they would just fight with the soldiers of Great Qi’s guardhouse.

Perhaps the other party didn’t want to expand the war, so they didn’t kill anyone.

During this period of time, there were many plunders at the border, but most of the commoners just suffered some injuries and there were zero casualties.

Even young women who were always abducted by West Xia’s soldiers would be fine as long as they hid this time round.

As for the soldiers, only five of the 12 guardhouse soldiers had died, but Great Qi had also managed to kill four West Xia soldiers.

Both parties had some wins and losses.

Such tactics were commonly seen.

In the past, when they were in the north, the Jin soldiers often harassed them like this, too.

Sometimes, it was not for plundering, but to train new recruits.

In the past, Qi Haoran had brought many new recruits to the Jin soldiers’ tents to train their skills and courage.

However, the reason why West Xia had recently been attacking the borders of Great Qi every day was not to plunder, let alone to train their troops.

Plus, with the theft of the grain seeds in Ju Prefecture, Qi Haoran was worried about his wife and children, so he was unwilling to waste too much time at the border.

He repeatedly asked his subordinates to warn West Xia.

Seeing that they did not stop, the furious Qi Haoran was on his way out when he bumped into a group of West Xia soldiers.

Right away, he grabbed his saber and fought with them.

Qi Haoran wanted to kill them all.

Fortunately, he still retained some rationality and knew that if he really killed them all, this small-scale war would expand.

Hence, he brought his soldiers to seriously injure them and expel them from the border of Great Qi.

Unexpectedly, this group of people then brought back another four to five hundred people to seek revenge.

Liu Dahei suppressed Qi Haoran and took the initiative to reprimand them for crossing the border.

Their general had already shown mercy by letting them on account of the diplomatic ties between the two countries.

If they knew what was good for them, they should quickly scram from Great Qi and not cross the border again in the future.

The other party was not to be trifled with either.

They started scolding Liu Dahei in front of the formation.

The two parties scolded each other for the entire day.

When Liu Dahei was drinking water, he took the opportunity to say to Qi Haoran, “They definitely won’t expand the war.

Tomorrow, after another half a day or so of this scolding, their anger will have mostly subsided and we’ll then leave.” However, Qi Haoran stared at the few people in the other party’s team and sneered.

“Those people are Han Chinese.

Go and ask who they are.” Stunned, Liu Dahei turned around and saw a few Han Chinese mixed in among the other party’s army.

He couldn’t help but frown, feeling repulse towards those traitors.

However, since they were enemies now, he couldn’t very well run over and put his arms around their shoulders and ask them who they were, right?

Just as Liu Dahei was thinking of an excuse to turn him down, Qi Haoran impatiently rode forward and pointed at the person in the middle with his horsewhip.

“Are those Han Chinese subordinates of the treacherous Prime Minister Qin?” The few people in the middle looked up.

One of them narrowed his eyes at Qi Haoran for a while and suddenly shouted, “He’s Prince Rong of Great Qi.

Killing him will be a great merit and His Majesty will definitely reward us with a marquis title!” Qi Haoran narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

Realization dawned on him.

“I knew you looked familiar.

So you’re Qin Fang’s son.

I was looking for you everywhere, and here you are, coming to me of your own accord.

Leave him behind and only then can the rest of you leave.” When Second Master Qin called out Qi Haoran’s identity, there was a commotion in West Xia’s army.

Then, everyone looked at Qi Haoran with green eyes and became restless.

On the other hand, Liu Dahei was extremely vigilant.

West Xia valued martial arts and worshiped warriors.

The West Xia soldiers were not afraid of death to begin with.

When they heard that killing Qi Haoran would allow them to make a great contribution, they were all tempted.

They were born to accumulate military merits!

Qi Haoran could naturally sense the changes in them, but he was not afraid.

There were only four to five hundred of them.

Not to mention the original soldiers in the guardhouse, just the personal guards he brought alone numbered two thousand.

Surely he wasn’t afraid of four to five hundred people?

He wanted to keep Second Master Qin.

This guy had thrown his Ju Prefecture City into a panic, so he had to give the people an explanation.

Hence, Qi Haoran looked at the other party’s general with a determined gaze and insisted they hand him over.

Both sides wanted to fight.

No matter how Liu Dahei tried to stop them, the more they spoke, the more intense their rage grew.

Then, no one knew who started the fight first, but the point is, they started fighting.

Qi Haoran’s target was those few people from the Qin Clan.

As soon as they started fighting, he rushed towards them.

The other party’s target was Qi Haoran.

In an instant, the battlefield centered around him.

By the time Qi Haoran commanded everyone to break out of the encirclement and annihilate most of the enemy troops, Second Master Qin had already run far away with their guards.

Without thinking, Qi Haoran chased after them with his personal army.
