Chapter 869 - 113: Decision!_4
"By then, if the refugees under his command starve to death, it would prove that Li Guanyi’s so-called reputation for benevolence is just nonsense!"
"Moreover, it’s already autumn, and Ying Country is in the north where the climate is harsh and cold. Starting this month, the weather will get colder by the day. Those lowly people are only wearing a single layer and staying near the water, and it won’t take long before they start catching colds."
"Once there’s nothing to eat and people start dying from the cold, an epidemic will break out."
"Hmph, Li Guanyi, Li Guanyi."
Yan Baotai said resentfully, "Trying to step on my lord’s reputation to earn fame for benevolence across the world, where in the world can there be such a good deal?! This general refuses to let you have your wish fulfilled; you’ll just be trapped here, and this great name will mean nothing!"
The Qilin Army under Li Guanyi had waited here for two days. Both Wen He and Wen Lingjun sighed; with their talents, they had long seen through Yan Baotai’s intentions, which was an open scheme.
Wen He whispered, "Now we have to see what our lord will do."
"If we fall out, the road ahead will be tough. The Great Emperor of Ying Country won’t openly dispatch troops or rupture relations, but as a king, he won’t be bound by promises as if they are the Nine Cauldrons; it’s only natural to do some things to interfere with us."
"After all, if it were me, I would definitely do the same."
He sighed and said, "Actually, it’s considered fortunate."
"Fortunately, this youngster didn’t soak bodies upstream of the river. If he just had to find a hundred pig and sheep carcasses, net them, and place them upstream, the water would wash over them, and the bodies wouldn’t be discovered. But we downstream, drinking the water, wouldn’t escape the epidemic."
"It wouldn’t take long before something would happen."
Wen Lingjun looked at Wen He as if he saw a ghost.
