Chapter 1316

At this time previously, they would have been on the road long ago.

It's just that I don't know what tricks the other side is playing today.

Seeing that they hadn't set off yet, the soldiers started chatting.

They wished the people in front would rest for a while longer.

That way, they wouldn't have to rush on their journey.

They could also rest for a while longer because of this; this was a good thing.

One hour later.

The soldiers had all rested well.

But the team in front still showed no signs of moving.

They had been resting for three hours now.

What tricks are they playing?

Han Xin's side was a bit confused.

After all, they hadn't rested for this long before.

Could it really be as they speculated, that the other side was out of food?

So hungry that they couldn't walk anymore?

In their spare time, the soldiers whispered to each other.

They were all guessing how long they could rest before setting off.

They felt no pressure at all regarding this operation.

After all, the other side only had over a hundred thousand people; they were not afraid at all.

No one knew what kind of scene it would be after leaving this mountain forest.

But the difficulties in front of them were nothing to the soldiers.

Although walking on mountain roads was tiring, they were not afraid.

Just then—

The soldiers at the very front became quiet.

Because a general appeared within their line of sight.

It was a general from Ren Xiao's side, and also a rebel.

The person came on foot, without a mount.

After all, this was a mountain forest with many loose stones, not suitable for galloping.

Unlike their side, which had twenty thousand Commandant cavalry.

These cavalrymen were left over from the border defense army.

They were the cavalry that Commander Han Xin had led at the northern border before.

They were kept by the Crown Prince and given to Commander Han as guards.

The twenty thousand Commandant cavalry were well-equipped.

They had the three-piece horse set and horseshoes, so the horses were not afraid of walking on gravel roads.

They also had sabers, super crossbows, and other super weapons.

Seeing a rebel walking over alone, the soldiers quieted down.

They wanted to see what the rebel had to say.

They were not afraid of the rebels playing any tricks.

After all, only one rebel had come; what could he do?

Even if all the rebels walked back, they wouldn't be afraid.

"Who goes there? State your name!"

As this rebel general approached.

A centurion stepped out of the ranks to intercept him.

"This general is Deputy General Zhou Qi under the command of County Commandant Ren."

"I don't know who is in charge here?"

"This general has some matters to discuss with your person in charge."

"Please report it!"

Zhou Qi stood proudly, neither humble nor arrogant.

As a general, he did not salute a mere centurion.

Being able to say these words also proved his sincerity.

This was his pride as a general.

After all, his rank was enough to outclass a centurion by several streets.

And he had important matters to attend to here, and he was quite confident.

He was here to threaten, not to beg, so he was not subservient.

But he couldn't be too arrogant either; he wasn't a hotheaded youth.

He couldn't do those arrogant things; doing so would only be counterproductive.

The centurion looked at the middle-aged general in front of him, stunned.

Just a rebel, what did it matter if he was at the general level?

Coming here and still daring to be so neither humble nor arrogant.

Who gave him the courage?

Although the other side didn't say anything excessive.

But this demeanor didn't seem like he was here to discuss matters.

Instead, it made people feel like he was here to command people.

Does he really think he's still a general?

If it were before they betrayed Great Qin, the centurion would have respectfully saluted.

But for a rebel, he wasn't worth saluting.

"Deputy General Zhou Qi?"

"Never heard of him."

The centurion shook his head; he really didn't know such a person.

Perhaps his knowledge was shallow; he didn't mean to mock the other side.

"You..."

"How can you speak like that?!"

Zhou Qi was choked with anger upon hearing this.

These words didn't have much destructive power, but they were extremely insulting.

A mere centurion dared to speak to him like this.

"What about you?"

"What kind of thing are you?"

"Have you forgotten your identity?"

"We are the Imperial Army here, and you?"

"You are rebels!"

"You have already betrayed Great Qin, and you still want to put on airs in front of us?"

The centurion gave this general no face at all.

After all, they were no longer comrades-in-arms standing in the same camp.

Otherwise, he would have respectfully called the other side General.
