Chapter 1323

~5 min read 854 words

The person being hoisted looked like a beggar.

The clothes he was wearing were exactly the same as theirs.

If the centurion hadn't stated his identity, he would have thought this was one of their own.

Before Han Xin could speak.

Li Xin, who was on the side, spoke first.

"Are you Zhou Qi?"

"How did you become like this?"

Li Xin looked down at this person who looked like a beggar.

If no one had said he was Zhou Qi, he really wouldn't have recognized him.

Zhou Qi raised his eyelids and looked at Li Xin.

When he saw Li Xin, Zhou Qi wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Being discovered in this awkward state by an old acquaintance made him feel ashamed.

He really didn't expect to see Li Xin here.

He knew Li Xin.

Before they came to Nanyue, they had worked together.

Now that they met again, things had long since changed.

Zhou Qi snorted coldly and did not answer Li Xin's question.

He directly filtered out Zhao Tuo and looked at Han Xin.

He knew two of the three people present, leaving only this young man he didn't know.

And the soldiers here called this person Commander.

If he wasn't mistaken, he should be the person in charge here.

But... this is too young, right?

He looked to be only about twenty years old.

Is there no one left in the Imperial Army to lead troops in battle?

Why use such a young person as Commander?

"Are you the Commander here?"

"Why has this general never seen you before?"

Zhou Qi looked at Han Xin with a puzzled expression.

"Slap~~~!"

A muffled sound came out.

The centurion slapped him.

It was another hard slap on the back of Zhou Qi's head.

"You bastard, how are you talking to our Commander?"

"You are a prisoner now, so you should have a prisoner's mindset."

"Calling yourself 'this general' in front of the Commander, do you deserve it?"

The centurion slapped him, signaling Zhou Qi to be honest.

Zhou Qi glared, really wanting to slap this centurion to death.

But his body was held by soldiers, so he couldn't fight back.

He could only let the centurion slap him, making him so angry he almost vomited blood.

Bullying people too much, simply bullying people too much!

Zhou Qi struggled, but being held by soldiers, he didn't break free from the shackles.

With no other choice, he could only look at Han Xin.

"Is this your way of treating guests?"

"I came here this time to discuss important matters with you."

"But you treat me like this; it wouldn't sound good if it got out, would it?"

Zhou Qi didn't want to suffer any more unprovoked disasters and didn't dare to call himself 'this general' anymore.

"Pfft..."

Han Xin couldn't help it.

He burst into laughter with a pfft.

"You... what are you laughing at?!!"

Zhou Qi roared.

"Nothing..."

"I couldn't help but laugh."

"I feel like what you said is very funny."

Han Xin was a bit speechless.

Wasn't it because of this person that he couldn't help but laugh?

Who told this person to say such funny things.

He didn't want to laugh in such a serious scene, but he really couldn't help it.

After a long time, Han Xin finally stopped laughing.

"What's wrong with our way of treating guests?"

"Do you count as a guest?"

"If I remember correctly, you have already betrayed Great Qin."

"Do you need any way of treating guests for a traitor?"

"So what if it gets out?"

"Do you still need good wine and meat to entertain a traitor?"

Han Xin retorted without hesitation.

A traitor still speaking so alarmingly.

It made him both amused and angry.

Li Xin and Zhao Tuo both laughed dumbly upon hearing this.

Han Xin really knew how to poke at the spine.

"You..."

Zhou Qi was speechless, unable to even say a word of rebuttal.

Finally, he could only snort coldly.

He felt that he was being controlled by others everywhere he went here.

It caught him off guard.

Betrayal is a fact; since he chose this path in the beginning.

What else can he do now?

Han Xin waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to let go of Zhou Qi.

The soldiers hesitated, afraid that if they let this person go, he would suddenly attack.

But thinking about it, they let go; they were relieved to have them guarding here.

"Deputy General Zhou Qi, right?"

"You don't need to say anything."

"The fact that you betrayed the Empire has become a reality."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have appeared here."

"And we wouldn't have been chasing you all this time."

"Just tell me what you want to do by coming here today."

Han Xin went straight to the point, wanting to see if their speculation was correct.

Seeing the soldiers let him go, Zhou Qi hurriedly moved a few steps to the side.

His palm also touched the back of his head, wincing as he touched it.

Being slapped like that really hurt.
