Chapter 396 - 393: Intent_1
Qin Shangzhi nodded, deeply agreeing.
"General Zhang Duanrui’s reaction already informed the Liang Kingdom that our Jin Kingdom is no longer as strong as it once was, even to the point of not daring to engage in a battle! The Emperor sending General Zhang Duanrui to lead troops at Chunmu Mountain is nothing more than an empty threat to scare off the Liang Kingdom." Bai Qingyan turned to look at the Crown Prince, "If the Crown Prince sends another order for the Liang soldiers to return to their camp, the day General Zhang Duanrui returns those men will be the day Liang attacks our Jin Kingdom."
"Commandery Princess, your words are an exaggeration." Elder Fang still maintained an aloof demeanor, "Since we’ve already returned their men, shouldn’t the Liang Kingdom owe us an explanation?"
"Elder Fang, if you have such capabilities, why not personally take the Liang soldiers back to their camp at Chunmu Mountain and demand an explanation from them?" Qin Shangzhi, unable to bear Elder Fang’s comments any longer, couldn’t help but retort.
Elder Fang clenched his teeth: "Mr. Qin, is this directed at an old man like me?"
"I wouldn’t dare. I just think Elder Fang might be an agent sent by the Liang Kingdom specifically to destroy our Jin Kingdom!" Qin Shangzhi finally released the anger that had been simmering for days, his words were harsh.
"You... you..." Elder Fang trembled as he pointed at Qin Shangzhi, "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated! Your Highness, will you just stand by and watch him insult me, an old man?"
The Crown Prince cleared his throat: "You are all my counselors. Offering strategies and voicing opinions is your duty. Mr. Qin, Elder Fang is the elder. Has Mr. Qin forgotten his manners?"
