Chapter 728

"A thousand people saving a hundred thousand will take too long."

"The longer we drag it out, the less safe we are."

A general proposed, and the others nodded in agreement.

Seeing Maoshi shook his head, rejecting the idea.

"To be safe, let's send some more people in to take a look."

When Seeing Maoshi said this, his eyes were on the soldier.

He did not trust the soldier one hundred percent.

This action almost made the soldier spit blood.

But he had no choice and could only endure the grievance.

The other generals frowned.

Seeing Maoshi's behavior was a bit too much.

Was he being too vigilant?

To put it nicely, it was vigilance; to put it bluntly, it was cowardice.

"Your Highness, if we send more people in, we'll run out of time, won't we?"

"Time is money!"

"Wasting any more time is dangerous!"

A general advised, wanting to go in and save the people immediately.

At the same time, they were extremely disappointed in Seeing Maoshi.

They thought that after returning this time, they would definitely report Seeing Maoshi's every move to the Chanyu.

He was too disappointing.

"Send more people in to scout!"

Seeing Maoshi did not back down, firm in his decision to scout again.

"If Your Highness is so afraid of an ambush, then you can wait here!"

"I will take men in to rescue them!"

"That should put your mind at ease, right?"

A general lost his patience.

This was not the Seeing Maoshi he knew; had he lost his courage along with his arm?

"I said send more people in to scout!"

"Until it is scouted clearly, no one is allowed to enter!"

Seeing Maoshi was also angry; this general was just his father's bodyguard.

To speak to him like this, he truly had grown bold.

And not letting them in was because he feared there were traps inside.

This was all for their own good; if something happened to them, wouldn't he be the one to take the blame?

"I cannot obey Your Highness's wrong decision!"

"When we return, I will definitely report this to Touman Chanyu!"

The general snorted coldly, not afraid of Seeing Maoshi at all.

The two began to argue.

"Stop arguing!"

"Don't forget where we are."

The other generals intervened; if they kept arguing, they wouldn't just fail to save the people, it would be dawn by then.

The two snorted and turned their heads away, saying nothing more.

An older general stepped out.

"How about this, arguing won't solve the problem and will only make us miss the opportunity."

"This soldier knows the way, and I also believe everything you said is true."

"You take more men in, go straight to the destination, and have the captain come out."

"This way, we can save a lot of time and put His Highness at ease."

The old general looked at the soldier; he believed the soldier.

The soldier looked at the old general excitedly and nodded; it felt good to be believed!

The soldier remounted his horse, and a dozen cavalrymen followed him back into the Great Wall.

Seeing Maoshi and the others stopped talking.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

The atmosphere was slightly awkward.

Fortunately, the wait this time was not very long.

Less than half a stick of incense.

The faint sound of horse hooves came from the Great Wall again.

Seeing Maoshi and the others looked at the gap in the Great Wall in unison.

Soon, a dozen cavalrymen charged out.

When the cavalry arrived,

they saw that the leader was indeed the captain.

"Your Highness, what are you playing at?"

"I was inside saving people, and I heard from the men below that you wanted me to come out."

"What is going on?"

After the captain rode out, he spoke directly.

No matter how unhappy he was, he didn't dare go too far.

After all, this was His Highness, and he was just a captain.

If he were the Chanyu's bodyguard, he would have given Seeing Maoshi a cold look long ago.

"Are there really no traps inside?"

Seeing Maoshi looked at the person who returned, feeling a bit surprised.

Could it be that he had overthought it?

"Your Highness is overly suspicious."

"Your paranoia is a bit heavy!"

"If there were traps inside, I wouldn't have been able to come back."

"Your Highness doesn't suspect that I've been turned by the Qin people, do you?"

"Your Highness doesn't suspect that I'm here to lure you into a pit, do you?"

The captain was very unhappy; when did this Highness become so suspicious?

In the Xiongnu tribe, there weren't so many rules and etiquette.

That was why the captain dared to speak like this.

If this were Great Qin, if a captain dared to speak to a Prince like this, he would have died countless times already.

The other generals' eyes on Seeing Maoshi changed, mostly filled with naked eye-rolls and mockery. ===== CHAPTER 730 =====
