"What are you trying to do?"
Geta stared at him without blinking.
Ji Huan finished the cup of wine he had poured for himself and gently put it down.
Although it was light, a muffled sound could be heard when the cup hit the table.
He looked at the perplexed yet vigilant Geta in front of him and said, "Prince Rong will be returning to the pass tomorrow. This time, he only brought twenty or so people with him. Other than me and Lang Po, the others won't pose a threat."
He was warning Ji Huan.
Geta wasn't an idiot and naturally understood the underlying meaning.
He narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment before asking, "Are you trying to tell me that on his way back tomorrow, I should …"
He didn't finish his sentence.
But in his heart, he already knew.
Ji Huan smiled and tapped his fingers on the table. He leaned forward, "I hope what I said just now can help you."
Geta's mind was spinning, "Why are you helping me?"
"I'm not helping you!"
"Then what do you mean?"
"In short, I'm standing on the side of justice."
"Haha, Great General Ji, I'm not an idiot. What if you're trying to lure me into a trap and ambush me?"
Ji Huan laughed at his words, "You're thinking too much. Prince Rong only has a few dozen men with him, how could he scheme against you? What's more, this is Houliao territory, what can I do? "
That makes sense!
But in his heart, he was still skeptical.
Ji Huan poured another cup of wine and pushed it to the other side, "I think that the position of Houliao's leader should be taken by an ambitious man, not a weakling."
Ugh!
He stood up and left after saying that.
From the moment he entered to the moment he left, there was no hesitation.
Geta stared at the cup of wine in front of him, thinking about what Ji Huan said.
"I think that the position of Houliao's leader should be taken by an ambitious man, not a weakling."
Wasn't the ambitious man hinting at him?
Gradually, his face scrunched up, revealing a bloodthirsty and ferocious expression.
Then, he drained the cup of wine in one gulp.
… …
On the other side.
After the commotion caused by the people of Houliao, Lang Po was even more vigilant. He ordered the guards outside, "Keep an eye out, be careful."
"Yes!"
He searched outside once more before entering the tent with a peace of mind.
Jing Rong sat cross-legged inside with a map in front of him.
It was Hou Liao's map.
He was looking at it carefully.
Lang Po walked in front of him, "Your Highness, I think we should leave quickly. I don't think that Gerta is a good person. If he causes trouble again, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Jing Rong's well-defined finger traced across the map bit by bit before finally stopping at a certain location.
His expression tensed up.
But that frown was fleeting.
He raised his head and looked at the timid Lang Po. "It's still night time. It's more dangerous outside than here."
Thinking about it, it made sense!
Lang Po said, "Your Highness, Geta brought people in to capture people in front of Muzar. I think Muzar was actually afraid of him at that time. Who knows what kind of trouble he might cause in the future. The sooner we get rid of him, the better."
"It's not about Gerta now. The most important thing now is to solve the problem before us."
"Yes!"
Compared to him, Jing Rong was much calmer. He pointed to the seat opposite him. "Sit down. I have something to tell you."
"Hmm? Your Highness? "
"Sit down."
He suddenly became very serious.
Lang Po was stunned. He sat cross-legged with a puzzled expression.
He quietly waited for Jing Rong to say something.
Jing Rong looked at the blockhead who had been by his side for many years and asked in a serious tone, "How long have you been with me?"
Lang Po calculated in his heart. "This subordinate has been with you since I was twelve. If you think about it, it should be fifteen years."
"Hmm, it's been a long time."
"Your Highness, why are you suddenly asking this?"
Jing Rong said, "Lang Po, after this matter is settled, you should go find that Miss Qin."
'Huh?'
Lang Po was startled. He hurriedly said, "Your Highness, are you going to push me away? I … "
"What are you thinking? I just don't want you to follow me anymore. I don't want to say that I can't bear to part with you. In short, if you can be with the person you love, I will be happy for you. Besides, I can't let you follow me forever. You have to live your own life. "
As he said this, Lang Po's nose turned sour.
Although he had promised Qin Xi that he would look for her after everything settled down, and he also wanted to find a suitable opportunity to tell his Highness about it, but now that it was Jing Rong who said it, he felt very upset.
In short, he wanted to cry!
He said, "Your Highness, in fact, even if this subordinate is with Qin Xi, I can still continue to follow you."
"That's enough. I know you are loyal, but Miss Qin needs stability. You should take her and live a good life."
Lang Po pouted and patted his chest. "As long as Your Highness needs me, no matter where I am, I will come to help you. I will come to help Your Highness. "
Jing Rong smiled.
He poured two cups of wine and pushed one of them to Lang Po.
"The two of you should have a good drink!"
The two of them drank the wine in one gulp.
Then, Jing Rong sternly said to Lang Po, "But right now, I need you to help me with something."
"Your Highness, please speak."
Jing Rong's finger tapped on the map on the table in front of him.
It was the same spot where his finger had stopped.
… …
The next day.
Jing Rong left with his people.
More than twenty people rode away from Hou Liao's main camp.
They traveled for half a day.
In another four hours, they would reach the border of Great Lin.
Lang Po looked around. Behind them was a grassland, and in front of them was a forest.
The forest at the border of the grassland was very large and lush. If there was a small group of soldiers hiding in the forest, no one would be able to detect them.
At this moment …
A sharp arrow came out of nowhere.
It landed squarely on the horse of one of the soldiers.
The horse was hit in the abdomen. It neighed, bent its front hooves, and threw itself forward.
Even the guard on the horse fell to the ground.
"Neigh!"
As the horse fell, more than twenty horses were startled.
"Neigh!"
It was a mess.
Jing Rong's people immediately drew their swords and searched for the direction of the arrow.
Lang Po shouted, "Protect His Highness!"
Immediately, several guards surrounded Jing Rong.
Protect him well!
Then, a few more arrows were shot out from the forest.
However, they were all shot away by the guards.
"Kill!"
Suddenly, a deafening sound came from the distance.
Looking in the direction of the sound, hundreds of Hou Liao soldiers rushed out of the forest and quickly surrounded Jing Rong's people.
The leader was Geta!
He was full of murderous intent!
