Chapter 316: Unexpected Changes]
"General, it's a signal smoke! I'm afraid there's an emergency in the valley!" Qu Wenmin's men said anxiously.
Qu Wenmin turned around abruptly, glaring at the masked man, and said sternly, "Prince Zhao, this is not what we agreed on! Are you planning to go back on your word?"
This was the first time that Chen Fenghe heard the masked man's name.
She guessed that the other party should be of noble status in Beirong, but she didn't expect that he was actually at the prince level.
Based on the original owner's knowledge, the Northern Rong and the Mongols and Tatars were similar, both worshipping the Khan as their king. The Khan's son was the Crown Prince, but if he made great contributions, he could be granted the title of Prince. Those who could be granted the title of Prince were basically the future successors to the Khan.
Prince Zhao listened to Qu Wenmin's questioning without showing any emotion. He smiled and said, "Why? General Qu has always addressed me as his master. Since I have acknowledged him as my master, then General Qu's things are also mine. What's wrong with me taking back my own things?"
Qu Wenmin was so angry that he almost fainted.
Even Chen Fenghe couldn't help but feel that Prince Zhao in front of him deserved a beating.
He took other people's things and insisted that they belonged to him. He felt it was his due and had no guilt whatsoever.
She emptied out all the things, at least because the other party had offended her first. She was the type to take revenge when there was a grudge and to settle a grudge when there was a grudge. She had principles and would not take ordinary people's things.
This prince really has no bottom line.
Qu Wenmin didn't care about anything else and turned around and ordered: "Send out the signal smoke immediately and summon the troops to support the valley..."
The batch of gunpowder and firearms in the valley was the most important bargaining chip for his uprising.
As long as he had sufficient firearms and gunpowder in hand, he would be confident of victory no matter how many obstacles he encountered on the way south!
He had been making meticulous plans for many years, and even went so far as to show goodwill to the Northern Rong people in order to prevent them from attacking him from behind when he went south. He acknowledged Prince Zhao as his "master", kept a low profile, and even worked diligently to mine gold - all in order to confuse and paralyze the Northern Rong people and conceal his years of secretly producing gunpowder and firearms.
Unexpectedly, when he was about to succeed, he was ambushed by Beirong!
Unfortunately, before Qu Wenmin could finish his words, Prince Zhao's men had already drawn their swords!
Seeing Qu Wenmin's expression, Qu Wenmin's men immediately refused to be outdone and drew their swords to confront the Beirong people.
Qu Wenmin glanced around.
Although there are not many people around him at the moment, his army is ambushing not far from here. If a conflict really breaks out, although he will be at a disadvantage in the short term, once the signal is sent and reinforcements arrive, he is still confident that he can defeat these Beirong people.
However, this would mean that he and Beirong would have a complete falling out. Then, when he went south, Beirong would most likely attack him from behind, and he would be attacked from both sides...
"General, the Northern Rong bandits are going too far. We should stop being so cowardly!"
"General, if we lose our gunpowder and firearms, I'm afraid the casualties will multiply as we march south! I hope you will make a decisive decision!"
"Yes, General, if we act now, we will definitely win! As long as we capture Prince Zhao of the Northern Rong alive, I believe the Northern Rong will not dare to act rashly!"
Qu Wenmin's men all advised.
A murderous intent flashed in Qu Wenmin's eyes, and he was about to give an order, but when the order came to his lips, he swallowed it back.
Therefore, he saw that at this moment, the swords of several Beirong soldiers were just placed on the necks of Qin Mengyue, Chen Fenghe and Xiao Yunhao!
