Chapter 179: Fusu arrives in Jiuzhou Commandery, takes over the provisions

There was still some distance between Taiyuan Commandery and Jiuzhou Commandery.

Even though Fusu set out early in the morning, it was already afternoon by the time he reached Jiuzhou Commandery.

Fusu didn't go directly to the Magistrate's residence but headed straight for the destination, Qi River.

Upon arriving at the location where the provisions were stopped, he saw a large number of government soldiers surrounding the area.

"Who are you?"

The leading government soldier seemed to notice the movement here, raised his spear, and asked sternly.

"This is Young Master Fusu."

Fusu's guard shouted and simultaneously took out Fusu's token.

The soldiers in these commanderies might not recognize Fusu in person, but they would definitely recognize Fusu's token.

After carefully verifying it, the soldiers immediately knelt on the ground.

"Greetings, Young Master Fusu."

"Rise."

"What are you doing?"

Fusu saw this group of people surrounding the place tightly and couldn't help but ask.

"The Magistrate ordered that no one is allowed to approach these provisions without authorization."

The government soldier answered truthfully.

"These provisions are now under my supervision; you all may withdraw."

Fusu said.

He had originally thought the soldier would withdraw immediately, but he hadn't expected the soldier's face to show hesitation.

"The Magistrate said that no matter who comes, they cannot approach these provisions."

"Provision Officer Wang is dead; the only one qualified to handle these provisions now is His Majesty."

"These provisions are the most important thing."

The soldier's words had only one meaning: these provisions were very important, and to be safe, they must request His Majesty's order.

"Presumptuous!"

"The Young Master is His Majesty's Imperial Prince; does even he not have the order to handle these provisions?"

Fusu's guard immediately shouted and simultaneously drew the long sword from his hand.

The long sword was aimed at the soldier in front of him.

Feeling the chill coming from his neck.

A flash of fear crossed the soldier's face.

But his inner determination kept him from moving his feet.

"I ask the Young Master not to make things difficult for us; we are only following orders."

The soldier said with a trembling voice.

"Forget it; he is only following the Jiuzhou Commandery Magistrate's orders."

"Let's go; we will go back immediately to find the Jiuzhou Commandery Magistrate."

Fusu raised his hand with a gloomy face.

He couldn't find a single fault with the soldier's actions.

Because his main purpose was also to protect these provisions.

If it were someone with ulterior motives, he would have ordered them executed on the spot today.

But this person had no other thoughts.

Even though his eyes were filled with fear, he still wanted to protect these provisions.

Fusu couldn't bring himself to strike at this person. **CHAPTER 400**

The guard withdrew the long sword in his hand, then mounted his horse, and galloped toward Jiuzhou Commandery with Fusu.

As early as when Fusu's figure appeared in Jiuzhou Commandery, Qi Huaizhi had already received the news.

When Fusu's figure appeared at the Jiuzhou Commandery Magistrate's residence, Qi Huaizhi was already waiting there.

"Young Master."

Qi Huaizhi stood up and bowed to Fusu, then served a cup of tea.

His movements carried the elegance of a scholar.

In ordinary times, Fusu might have been in the mood to taste this cup of tea.

But ever since choosing to go on the campaign with Old General Wang, Fusu's personality had become impatient.

"This Prince has no mood to drink tea with you."

"I want to take away the provisions by Qi River."

Fusu said straight to the point.

"Young Master, you also know that these provisions were escorted by Provision Officer Wang."

"Now that Provision Officer Wang has lost his life to mountain bandits, these provisions have no escort and simply cannot be moved."

A look of conflict appeared on Qi Huaizhi's face.

Fusu himself was a scholar and naturally knew the importance these scholars placed on rules.

"When a general is away from home, he is not bound by the orders of the sovereign."

"Now that we are on the verge of confronting the Great Chu remnants, there is no time to go back and request His Majesty's order."

"I want to take these provisions now; I will take responsibility for any problems."

Fusu said decisively.

His face carried a bit of Ying Zheng's martial majesty.

Being stared at directly by Fusu's eyes, a bitter smile appeared on Qi Huaizhi's face.

He had truly tried his best.

If anyone else had come today, these provisions would not have been moved.

Unfortunately, it was Young Master Fusu who came.

With Fusu's status, the reason he would take back to request His Majesty's order likely wouldn't be enough to stall him.

"Magistrate, what are you still hesitating about?"

Seeing that Qi Huaizhi still hadn't relented, Fusu's face turned cold...

At the same time, a flash of suspicion crossed his eyes.

Qi Huaizhi felt the probing in Fusu's eyes.

His heart tightened.

"Since the Young Master insists, then these provisions shall be handed over to the Young Master."

"I ask the Young Master not to blame me; the subordinate is only following orders."

Qi Huaizhi smoothed things over.

"Then let your people leave immediately."

After speaking, Fusu turned and left; he had already wasted enough time here.

He had to transport these provisions back before tonight.

They had brought a full 150, 00-strong army this time.

With such powerful military strength, they could completely capture Taiyuan Commandery.

But it was precisely because of the people in Taiyuan Commandery that they hadn't chosen to attack by force.

Qi Huaizhi quickly had one of his subordinates follow Fusu to Qi River immediately.

After Fusu's figure left, he immediately gave a look to another servant.

At this moment, Qi Huaizhi's eyes looked incredibly deep.

"Young Master, I hope you don't blame me."

A light sentence echoed in the room.

He had originally thought everyone had already left.

But Qi Huaizhi had overlooked the person following Fusu.

Lu Bing had originally intended to leave, but he heard this whisper from Qi Huaizhi.

"Interesting."

"It seems this person is also not simple, actually daring to strike at Fusu."

Lu Bing's eyes flashed with interest.

He hadn't expected that he would hear this sentence just by leaving a step late.

It seems Fusu would definitely encounter people lying in ambush there when he went to Qi River.

Lu Bing had originally thought the one who would strike at Fusu was the man in black from before.

But he hadn't expected it to be an official of Great Qin.

The officials of Great Qin were also somewhat complex.

He just didn't know if it involved the events of five years ago.

Thinking of this, Lu Bing's eyes turned cold.

This person was striking at Young Master Fusu.

Could it be that he had also struck at the Young Master five years ago?

Doubts arose in Lu Bing's heart.

However, he didn't think too much; his figure immediately disappeared from here and caught up with Fusu's footsteps.

His main goal now was to protect Fusu's safety. **CHAPTER 401**
