Chapter 278: It May Backfire!

“The General will be here soon,” Deputy General Liu replied immediately.

Soon, Qian Jiyun came after receiving the news.

He had rushed over from outside the military camp. He was on his way to check on An Jiuyue after he had given orders in the camp.

He did not expect the people from the 18 Stockaded Villages to come again. This time, it was the chief of the first three villages. He had no choice but to take this seriously. He did not understand what they were up to.

However, a shameless person walked into the tent with him to meet Shen Yan and the other two.

“Prince Lei Ting!”

Shen Yan and the others had already expressed that they were kind enough to spare him. Why would they still want to see him again?

Qian Jiyun was also very straightforward. He wore a cold expression as he entered with Prince Lei Ting, not even sparing him a glance.

His expression only softened when he saw the three chiefs.

Shen Yan took a deep breath and greeted them, “Prince Zhan Yun, Prince Lei Ting.”

Meanwhile, Er Ning and Ai Qi did not even stand. They only nodded at Qian Jiyun to greet him and acted as if they had not seen Prince Lei Ting.

Prince Lei Ting frowned. He was clearly very disgusted by how Shen Yan greeted him after Prince Zhan Yun.

Although he was truly not as capable as Qian Jiyun, he refused to admit it!

He believed he would not be inferior to Qian Jiyun if he obtained help from the 18 Stockaded Villages! He could definitely crush Qian Jiyun by then!

“You’re back so soon, Chief Shen? It seems like the 18 Stockaded Villages are not all that! Aren’t you a little too diligent in begging?” He looked at Shen Yan sarcastically and described him as a dog begging for help.

He wanted to cause a rift between Qian Jiyun and the three chiefs so he would not need to work without benefiting himself.

“Does our begging have anything to do with you?” Shen Yan asked with a smile.

“Of course. I don’t mind helping you. As long as you’re willing, I can—”

“I’m not willing!” Shen Yan interrupted.

One had to be competent to seize the 18 Stockaded Villages. How could a greedy man who was made prince because of the Emperor’s favor even dream of expanding his influence?

Er Ning sneered and said, “Prince Lei Ting, let me give you a piece of advice. If you eat too much, you can spit it out. But if you eat something you shouldn’t, you may not be able to spit it out because it may backfire!”

Prince Lei Ting was furious and pointed a finger at him. “You—”

“Prince Lei Ting, this is my camp.”

Just as he was about to flare up, he heard Qian Jiyun’s calm voice. Most of the anger within him dissipated.

He did not dare to act rashly in Qian Jiyun’s territory.

“Hmph! I’ll see how long you can last!”

He snorted, withdrew his hand, and shook it vigorously before smiling gleefully.
