Chapter 497

Han Xin revealed a crafty smile.

He had finally stated his purpose.

When it came down to it, this was General Meng Tian's purpose.

He was merely the one taking the blame.

"You... you people... shameless!"

"Simply too shameless!"

"Wasn't it agreed upon that there would be fifty thousand warhorses?"

"Why are there two thousand more now?"

"Do you think those are Chinese cabbages?"

Upon learning of Han Xin's words, Modu was so furious he nearly exploded.

A mouthful of old blood sprayed directly out.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

Luo Huan hurriedly supported Modu.

After spitting out a mouthful of stagnant blood, Modu actually felt much better.

"General, he won't be angered to death by us, will he?"

Seeing Modu spitting blood, Han Xin suddenly became a bit worried.

"It's fine, he won't die."

"Spitting out some stagnant blood, he should actually thank you."

Meng Tian's indifferent expression gave Han Xin confidence.

"Don't think that spitting blood is the end of it."

"Those fifty thousand warhorses are what His Highness wants; these two thousand now are what we want. It's different."

"In a word, are you giving them or not?"

"If you give them, arrange for your people to return immediately."

"If you don't, we will have to get busy, and once we're busy, it will take three to five days."

"By then, we'll let your people go back."

Seeing that Modu was fine, Han Xin suddenly became a bit impatient.

His Highness's fifty thousand warhorses were requested so simply.

Why was it so difficult when it came to his request for two thousand?

"Your Highness, what should we do?"

"If we give them, we might not have that many."

"But if we don't, we might die here."

Luo Huan looked at Modu with concern.

He might not necessarily die, because he was needed for reactions, and Great Qin still needed him.

But as for Modu, he was nine times out of ten a dead man.

"Give!"

"Give them all to them!"

Modu roared out as if he had lost control.

Truly, one pit after another.

He had never seen such thick-skinned and shameless people.

A trace of a smile finally appeared on Han Xin's face.

It was done!

Two thousand warhorses were also a considerable amount of wealth.

Their whispering earlier was just General Meng Tian wanting to see if they could swindle a few more warhorses.

Now, it had indeed succeeded.

Han Xin felt a sense of accomplishment wash over him.

Things His Highness could achieve, he, Han Xin, could now achieve as well!

He originally hadn't wanted it to be this way; after all, he wanted a reputation too.

But this matter couldn't be done by the General, could it?

Thinking about it later, practical benefits were better than a reputation.

Moreover, this was swindling the Xiongnu; he wouldn't feel a shred of guilt.

Great Qin people don't swindle Great Qin people, so they could only swindle the Xiongnu.

Han Xin restrained his smile and said to Luo Huan:

"Then let your people choose who will go back first."

"After all, this is also a matter entrusted by His Highness, so let's get it done early!"

"Hurry and choose people to go back! If you're late, you might not be able to go back at all."

Luo Huan was overjoyed; he could finally send people back.

It was truly difficult!

Modu took a deep breath; things having reached this point, he could only send people back quickly.

But regarding the selection of people, he wasn't very sure.

Among the ten people, he didn't know who was best to send back.

Thus, he looked at Luo Huan.

At this moment, he truly thought highly of Luo Huan.

He no longer treated him as a subordinate, but as a friend.

"Only ten people can go back, what do you think?"

"Tell me your opinion."

Luo Huan lowered his head and thought for a while.

"Your Highness, this matter is of great importance, the small one thinks it is better to have the remaining deputy generals go back."

"Even if Prince Modu finds out, it is not without a way to maneuver and resist."

"If we send others back, it might not be as easy to deal with Prince Modu."

Luo Huan was also genuinely thinking for Modu.

He was relatively smooth in his dealings, offending neither side.

If he couldn't make it in Great Qin, he would go to the Xiongnu territory.

If he couldn't make it in the Xiongnu territory, he would go to Great Qin.

Therefore, he still wanted someone to bring warhorses to exchange for Modu's return.

If there were any changes in Great Qin, he could still return to the Xiongnu territory to continue living.

"Good, do as you say."

"Go and arrange it, let them all go back."

"It must be done at the fastest speed."

"What I fear most is Prince Modu finding out; delay leads to changes!"

Luo Huan nodded and said to Han Xin: "My lord, please take me to choose the people."

"Hmm, follow me."

Han Xin took Luo Huan and turned to leave.

Meng Tian also ordered people to keep a close watch on Modu before leaving as well. ===== CHAPTER 499 =====
