C355 siege

In the military camp outside River City.

In the main tent, the atmosphere was tense and awkward. The men sitting in the barracks didn't even dare to breathe as they maintained their silence.

After a long while, Gongsun Heng held onto his wine cup, his gaze swept over the tightly shut generals around him, and a hint of impatience faintly appeared in his cold eyes.

"Lord Ye, are you sure that your plan will work?" Gongsun Heng took a sip of tea and asked coldly.

Ye Jiaze sat below, his long fingers caressing the edges of the tea cup which had some lines on it, his eyes slightly narrowed, the smile on his face extremely obvious, it was obvious that he was in a great mood.

He said with complete certainty: "Your Highness, this humble one does not guarantee that the plan this time will succeed, but this humble one can guarantee that Xie Qingrong will definitely take the bait."

"Oh?" Gongsun Heng squinted his eyes, there was no happiness in his eyes, he took a sip of the green tea and said: "Then, I will be waiting here alone for good news from Lord Ye."

However, Gongsun Heng did not believe Ye Jiaze's plan at all. There were too many flaws, and his goal was too clear. If not for the fact that his father owed the Ye Family a favor, he would not have protected Ye Jiaze and handed fifty thousand soldiers and horses to Ye Jiaze to torment. He hoped that his father would not disappoint him.

Otherwise...

Ye Jiaze waited at the entrance of River City for nearly four hours before he finally saw the figure of Xie Qingrong, who had arrived late.

He bowed politely towards Xie Qingrong, as if she was still the same elegant and graceful young master he had met at the first meeting of the Profound Sky Continent, "It's been a while since we last met, how have the princess consort been."

However, Xie Qingrong did not plan on using this fake courtesy on Ye Jiaze. She looked at him coldly, and felt that's act of feigning was extremely annoying.

He said coldly, "I feels that the relationship between I and Lord Ye is not familiar to the extent that it is safe to stay away. Furthermore, we both know why I is here today.

Ye Jiaze's hands that were saluting him stiffened slightly, and the smile on his face dimmed a bit. He never thought that Xie Qingrong would still not give him any face as usual, it was truly annoying!

"Since you are going to be so blunt, I shall go straight to the point." She wanted to tell the Crown Princess something, [Don't be too cruel and cruel, and don't be too cold. Leave a mark on everything so we can meet again in the future.]

Xie Qingrong scoffed, and was extremely disdainful of Ye Jiaze's words, and mocked: "Why did the Ye Family get raided all over, does Sir Ye really not know or feigning ignorance? To dream about escaping from death after committing such a heinous crime is simply a pipe dream. "

"Lord Ye only wants to seek revenge on the I and His Highness. Why do you have to say such noble words? If you don't want to be ashamed, the I will be ashamed for you. Since Lord Ye has no intention to talk, then I will not waste his time on you. "

Xie Qingrong's words successfully ignited the hatred and anger in Ye Jiaze's heart. He slightly clenched his hands, and really wanted to rush forward and stab Xie Qingrong to death, but he could not ignore the big picture as she desperately endured the suppressed fury in his heart.

She spoke word by word, "Since the Crown Princess has thought about it for a long time, I have nothing to say to her."

Seeing Ye Jiaze's fake smile, Xie Qingrong's pretty face was twisted.

Tsk, how ugly.

After sighing in his heart, he turned around and entered the city.

Ye Jiaze watched Xie Qingrong's leaving figure, and bit his lips, trying to taste the taste of rust on his mouth.

He swore to himself that one day, he would tear apart Xie Qingrong's cold and beautiful face and watch her kneel on the ground and cry for his life.

Thinking about this scene, Ye Jiaze's lips curled into a strange smile, and the distortion in his eyes deepened.

However, Ye Jiaze did not notice at all that the conversation between the two of them had been completely overheard by the subordinates that Gongsun Heng had sent over. After Xie Qingrong arrived at the rendezvous point, she, who was extremely sensitive to auras, had already sensed them.

He knew that the person who was hiding in the darkness was not on his side, and so he said those words to Ye Jiaze, causing Ye Jiaze to become extremely angry.

After Ye Jiaze returned to his tent, he did not immediately go to see Gongsun Heng. Although Xie Qingrong came to make an appointment as he expected, she didn't expect it to end on a bad note and she herself was ruthlessly ridiculed.

Anyone would not be in a good mood right now, not to mention someone with such a good face like Ye Jiaze.

It was a pity that he did not go to Gongsun Heng's tent, as Gongsun Heng had instead come to Ye Jiaze's tent on his own.

After staring at Ye Jiaze for a long while, Ye Jiaze did not understand what was going on. He could not see through the emotions in the depths of Gongsun Heng's eyes.

"Have you seen Xie Qingrong?" Gongsun Heng asked even though he already knew the answer. Not only did he know that Ye Jiaze had seen Xie Qingrong, he also knew that Xie Qingrong had mocked him for a while.

Ye Jiaze did not think too much into it, and nodded. "We've seen it, it's a failure."

However, Ye Jiaze had never thought of having a good conversation with Xie Qingrong, how could he let go of such a good opportunity.

Fifty thousand men versus ten thousand men, he knew that he had a hundred percent chance of victory in this battle. He definitely would not let such a good opportunity to punish Xie Qingrong slip by.

How could Gongsun Heng not see through Ye Jiaze's thoughts? However, he was too lazy to poke a hole through him, so he only indifferently reminded: "Don't underestimate your enemy. Xie Qingrong was a person with both wisdom and martial arts skills, her temperament was firm. I'm afraid this siege will not be an easy task. "

It was rare for Gongsun Heng to say so much and he respectfully saluted Ye Jiaze. He hurriedly thanked Gongsun Heng for his good intentions: "Thank you for your reminder Your Highness Crown Prince, I will definitely pay attention to Xie Qingrong's movements and will not miss a single bit of her abnormal actions."

Even though he said that, Ye Jiaze was still a little disdainful in his heart.

"Yes." Gongsun Heng nodded slightly, "Since Lord Ye knows why I am here, then I will take my leave."

Today, he had already reminded Ye Jiaze of this and could be considered to be his final reward. After the Jiang Prefecture battle, Ye Jiaze and the Chu Country were no longer related to each other.

He could see clearly that although Ye Jiaze was a little clever, he was not up to the task at hand.

Giving the fifty thousand soldiers and horses to him was just for the sake of father, and was just a toy to him.

After Gongsun Heng left, Ye Jiaze finally revealed the anger he had hidden, and carefully looked over the map on the table again.

He had never marched and fought before. If he really was on the battlefield, it would be extremely difficult for him to fight in a real battle.

Furthermore, although Gongsun Heng had given him a chance and face, on the account that his father had helped the Chu Country's king, he knew clearly in his heart that Gongsun Heng did not have any trust in him at all.

He needed to make some achievements in order to be able to establish himself in the Army of Chu's camp and establish himself as a member of the Chu Country's court.
