Chapter 830 - Chapter 830 Delusion

Chapter 830: Delusion Chapter 830: Delusion Editor: Atlas Studios General West Xia’s expression was ugly upon finding out that Great Qi had wiped out two of their garrisons without them knowing.

He glared at his subordinates and looked at Liu Dahei coldly.

Liu Dahei wasn’t afraid of him at all.

Sitting on his horse, he almost stomped his feet and clamored for West Xia to give them an explanation.

He accused West Xia of harassing their borders and even attempting to assassinate the Prince of Great Qi.

He demanded to know if they were trying to start a war between the two countries.

General West Xia only felt aggrieved, but he had no choice but to endure it because he didn’t want to start a war with Great Qi.

Considering Great Qi had a total of 350,000 troops stationed in the southwest, and Qi Haoran was holding down the fort, it would be very difficult for West Xia to win the battle!

Therefore, they could only refuse to admit it no matter what.

This way, the two garrisons would have died in vain.

After arguing with each other for a day, General West Xia returned to the central tent with an ugly expression and said, “Immediately get someone to go to the two guardhouses to investigate the situation.” “General, they might be framing us.

Yesterday, the Han people crossed the border and plundered our peopleaEUR|” “Previously, the people of Great Qi were only focusing on defense.

Why did they suddenly launch a large-scale counterattack last night?” General West Xia roared.

Needless to say, the attempted assassination on Prince Rong must have provoked them into launching a counterattack.

At this moment, most people already believed Liu Dahei’s words, because no one in West Xia understood their soldiers better than them.

If they encountered high-ranking generals of the enemy country at the border, and the other party was outnumbered, they would definitely attempt to kill the enemy when there appeared to be a chance of success.

And here, we were talking about Prince Rong.

Killing him would at least allow them to receive a reward of 1,000 taels from the Emperor, in addition to a title of nobility.

It was a pity that the two garrisons failed to kill Prince Rong.

Instead, he escaped and counterattacked.

“General, since Qi Haoran is injured, why don’t weaEUR|” “No.” The general rejected without thinking.

He glanced at him and said, “How many of our men are at the border now?

How many men do they have there?

Moreover, we don’t know how badly Qi Haoran is injured.

What if he merely sustained light injuries?

He’s a general.

Even if he doesn’t personally go to the battlefield, he can just sit at the back and command his troops.

That alone will cause us plenty of headaches.” “General, you’re speaking too highly of the enemy and belittling our own troops.” The general sneered.

“That’s because you haven’t fought with Qi Haoran before.

If Qi Xiuyuan is a talented field commander, then Qi Haoran is a genius on the battlefield.” Everyone was silent.

Those who had fought with Qi Haoran recalled the battle four years ago.

Those who had not fought before could not help but straighten their faces when they saw the solemn expressions of the others.

“We’ve got to drag this out.

I’ll ask His Majesty to send messengers over to negotiate.” The general coughed lightly and said, “Although our soldiers injured Qi Haoran, they also killed two of our garrisons.

It’s not clear who’s right or wrong in this matter.” The generals immediately felt that their general was shameless enough.

It was obvious that they were in the wrong in this matter, but who cares?

Everyone comforted themselves in their hearts.

Qi Haoran lay in bed for two days and saw that Liu Dahei went to fight with the West Xia people every day.

Although West Xia went to collect the corpses of the two West Xia garrisons, they didn’t start a fight.

Even their harassment of the borders had stopped.

Qi Haoran understood the other party’s intention after giving it some thought.

Since they didn’t want to fight, Qi Haoran didn’t want to waste any more time here.

He immediately got the military doctor to wrap a few gauze bandages around his chest and apply makeup to his face to make it look paler.

Then, he got someone to carry him to watch the commotion from afar.

Riding on a horse, when General West Xia caught sight of Qi Haoran, his expression changed.

Seeing that he was only watching the commotion from afar, he heaved a sigh of relief.

He also knew a little about Qi Haoran, having once lost to him.

Seeing him sitting on the recliner and watching the commotion, General West Xia knew that like them, Qi Haoran did not want to escalate the matter and probably just wanted some compensation.

They’d heard that life in Great Qi was not easy either.

General West Xia thought for a moment and understood what was going on.

After this two-day shouting match with Liu Dahei, his throat had turned hoarse.

No longer in the mood to continue this exchange of insults, he handed this difficult task to his deputy general and secretly slipped away.

After all, he couldn’t let Qi Haoran catch him, lest he immediately demanded him to give an explanation.

It was better to wait for the messenger to come.

When Liu Dahei returned to the camp at night, he said unhappily, “Your Highness, why did you go to the border today?

You caused the other party’s general to slip away.” However, Qi Haoran had already changed his clothes.

He turned around and said, “I’m going back to Ju Prefecture City now.

I’ll leave the borders to you.

Don’t let anyone find out that I’m not in the camp.

But even if they do find out, it doesn’t matteraEUR|” “You’re returning to Ju Prefecture now?” “That’s right.

West Xia should also be waiting for their Emperor’s decree.

In any case, it’ll just be a verbal battle during this period of time.

You’re good at this.

I’ll return to Ju Prefecture Prefecture to settle some matters first and return soon.” After Qi Haoran gave his instructions, he brought a few bodyguards and rushed to Ju Prefecture.

As they were traveling light, they arrived at Ju Prefecture City faster than Fei Bai and the others who were escorting the gold.

The moment Qi Haoran returned, he went to look for Fan Zijin because he wanted to consult him if he should take the opportunity to fight and snatch back the land on which the gold mine was located.

After all, that was not a small gold mine.

Facing Qi Haoran’s eager gaze, Mu Yangling blurted out, “Why must we fight?

Didn’t you say that they injured you?

Then make them give you compensation.” Qi Haoran opened his mouth wide and said, “Ah Ling, you’re really audacious.” He just wanted West Xia to compensate him with some herbs.

And here, Ah Ling was suggesting they compensate with the land.

The area from the border to the gold mine was quite a sizable plot of land.

Fan Zijin looked at the couple seriously, then touched his chin and said, “Well, it’s not impossibleaEUR|” This time, it was Mu Yangling and Qi Haoran’s turn to open their mouths wide.

Mu Yangling swallowed her saliva and said, “I-I was just sayingaEUR|” Fan Zijin snorted and said, “Write a letter to Liu Dahei immediately and ask him to withdraw all his men left in the mine and clean up all traces.

Don’t worry about this matter for now.

Let Big Brother send a messenger to negotiate with them, demanding a sky-high amount.

National affairs are like business.

If we don’t give it a shot, how will we know that it’s impossible?” Qi Haoran’s jaw dropped.

“What if the owner of the gold mine reports itaEUR|” “He wouldn’t dare.” Fan Zijin sneered.

“Didn’t you say that almost half of the gold mine has been mined?

This means that the gold mine has been in operation for almost ten years.

If he dares to report it, the generals guarding the borders of West Xia will eat him alive.

The West Xia Imperial Court won’t let him off either.

So, that’s a non-issue.” Mu Yangling tugged at Qi Haoran’s hand and said, “I think we should leave this matter to Zijin since he’s an expert at negotiating.” “Daddy, Mommy, I have my own expertise, tooaEUR”like, I’m really, really good at hiding gold.

Why don’t you just give this piece of gold to me?” Little Bear held the piece of gold and looked at his parents eagerly.

Speechlessly, Mu Yangling and Qi Haoran looked at Little Bear’s big eyes that were filled with desire.

Fan Zijin turned his head away and pretended not to see it.
