Chapter 921 What goes around comes around
In one sentence, he enlightened Qi Heng.
Lin Yuesha was angry, not because he had concealed or deceived her, but because he had knowingly committed the crime, which was more serious than the mistake itself.
"If I don't forgive you, it means I don't understand your difficulties."
Lin Yuesha said frankly, "Then I choose to be a forgiving person. I forgive you, and that way I can gain a good reputation."
Since Qi Heng has his own ideas, he shouldn't pretend to consult with her; Lin Yuesha doesn't care.
Meddling in other people's business wastes her energy and gets her labeled as unreasonable. What's the point? Why make things difficult for herself?
"Next time, please just say so directly, I definitely won't object."
Lin Yuesha estimated the time; Yuwen Kun and Helian Cheng had left, so there was no need to continue this charade. She, the leading lady, should leave the stage as soon as possible.
Without giving Qi Heng any chance to explain, Lin Yuesha left the courtyard with her maid.
Qi Heng sat there, frowning in thought. He put himself in Qi Heng's shoes and realized that he shouldn't have kept it a secret.
The couple were family, and Lin Yuesha was not an unreasonable person. His wishful thinking that doing this was good for Lin Yuesha was just his own assumption.
Concealing information is wrong, but making assumptions with arrogance is an even bigger mistake.
For the next three days, Lin Yuesha was busy checking the accounts, while Qi Heng continued to feign illness, taking advantage of Xu Da and the others' visit to discuss the next steps.
Helian Cheng will definitely take the bait if he provides assistance to Wang Jinhu, while our side has laid a trap, just waiting for Helian Cheng to fall into it.
"Young General, Helian Cheng has become the new leader of the alien race and has begun to mobilize troops."
On the other side, the old leader's subordinates were dissatisfied, and Helian Cheng forcibly took over the troops, so the handover did not go too smoothly.
However, the more the old leader's subordinates opposed him, the more determined Helian Cheng became, especially after gaining Yuwen Kun's approval.
"Our plans remain the same."
Qi Heng opened a new city defense map and drew circles with charcoal. He intended to cultivate Xu Da as the main general for this battle against the alien forces.
"this……"
Xu Da hesitated; he had a heart full of enthusiasm, but only when he arrived on the battlefield did he realize how cruel it was.
The men under the Five City Garrison Command in the capital only know how to eat, drink, and have fun; they've been spoiled rotten. If those rabble were thrown onto the battlefield, they would either desert or die.
This is the cruelest place; no one cares about your status or position, it's all about killing and being killed.
Despite having set up an ambush and holding an absolute advantage, it was still a fierce battle against Helian Cheng's massive army.
"Therefore, let's not drag things out and risk complications. Let's take Jinyu Pass in one fell swoop and drive Helian Cheng back to his lair."
Helian Cheng's defeat made it difficult to win over the people, and coupled with the fact that the old leader's former subordinates were not easy to deal with, Helian Cheng would not be able to recover from this defeat for a while.
"Next, our focus is on crushing the Wei family."
Only by unifying the territory of the Great Qi can Qi Heng have the resources to deal with the foreign tribes and Sishui City.
Strike while the iron is hot, act quickly, and don't give them any breathing room. Let Helian Cheng lose his composure first.
"Young General, I am the commander-in-chief, so what about you?"
Qi Heng set up a series of traps, leaving Helian Cheng with no chance of escape, and Xu Da saw through the outcome at a glance.
Unless Helian Cheng decides to withdraw his troops while he's ahead, he will inevitably fall into the trap.
However, with a large piece of fatty meat about to enter his mouth, Helian Cheng could not give it up at such a crucial moment.
Xu Da admired Qi Heng, but he ate a lot of pig's heart. He wondered if this would help him be more careful.
Like the Prince of Luo, who thought he could outsmart Qi Heng by feeding him some bitter medicine, he ended up rinsing his mouth and wiping it with a cloth until his mouth swelled up like a sausage.
Rumors were spreading throughout the military camp that the Prince of Luo and Qi Heng were at odds, and that while Qi Heng was seriously ill, the Prince of Luo was having an affair with seven women, and that his penis remained erect.
Upon hearing the rumors, the Prince of Luo was filled with regret and became extremely angry, refusing to leave his house during the day.
This move was clearly the work of spies left behind by Helian Cheng. It was all nonsense. Xu Da followed the clues and actually found several spies that Helian Cheng had planted.
"I will be away for a while."
The Northwest cannot be supported by one person alone. Qi Heng has important matters to attend to, and he plans to go to the northern lands, to the territory occupied by the Wei family.
"Should we seek reconciliation from the Wei family?"
There's not much to say; it all comes down to ability. Whoever takes the most territory becomes the boss.
Xu Damo was eager to fight; if he could resolve the issue with action, he would not waste words.
Xu Da was particularly eager to capture and torture a villain like Helian Cheng.
Xu Da suffered quite a bit in the dungeon of Helian Chengfu.
No.
Qi Heng then took out a map of the Great Qi, showing several major cities north of Qin City.
Some of these were places the Wei family had been planning for a long time, and their subordinates were all loyal to the Wei family. However, places like Yingcheng were different. Although they were temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Wei family, the garrison commanders were wavering and still observing.
Going to war would be too costly; if we could outsmart them, we could at least save most of our military supplies.
Qi Heng decided to personally intervene and act as a persuader.
Yingcheng is located by the sea and is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. When the Northwest Army marched into the north, Yingcheng was a necessary stop.
Once Yingcheng is captured, the Wei family can be largely ignored. Even if Yuwen Kun leads his troops from Sishui City, Qi Heng will have no worries.
Moreover, Qi Heng still has manpower in several cities in the north.
When do we set off?
Xu Da was persuaded and believed that Qi Heng's move was the best possible strategy.
"In the next few days."
After Qi Heng finished speaking, he sighed softly. Lin Yuesha was still angry.
"Are there times when you're at a loss?"
Xu Da gloated. His cousin did a great job and Qi Heng deserved to be taught a lesson.
"You know I'm not a substitute, yet you stand by me and hide it from Yue Sha. Do you think I should tell her?"
Qi Heng glanced at Xu Da, who was gloating, and said calmly.
Soon, Xu Da's smile vanished.
"What does this have to do with me? You're the one making the decision."
Shifting the blame is imperative; Xu Da is at best an accomplice.
He had received a lot of benefits from Lin Yuesha these past few days, including all sorts of delicious snacks. If his cousin found out that he was in the know, he would be finished.
What a blunder! I've been so busy watching the spectacle these past few days that I haven't thought things through.
Xu Da looked mournful, suspecting that Qi Heng was setting him up.
"Now you know what to do."
For things you can't handle yourself, make good use of the people you know.
Qi Heng glanced at Xu Da with a meaningful look, everything was understood without saying a word.
The two quickly reached an agreement, but Xu Da felt aggrieved after leaving the house.
Why does joy always turn to sorrow? He can't outsmart that old fox Qi Heng.
It was clearly Qi Heng's fault that dragged him into this mess, and Xu Da, as someone in the know, had no way to avoid it.
Why did he have to get involved in the couple's conflict?
Xu Da was filled with bitterness. Thinking about how he had been so smugly eating snacks in front of Qi Heng these past few days, he felt a deep sense of sorrow.
What goes around comes around. His cousin is a reasonable person, so Xu Da decided to act as a mediator and peacemaker. After all, it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. He's a kind-hearted person.
