Memoirs of the Heavenly Khan

Chapter 69 Ohno Sou's Favor Is Not Over Yet

"Gao Huan, you are a fake Xianbei, betraying your brothers and showing no loyalty!"

In the tavern, Hou Jing was very dissatisfied with Gao Huan's attack.

As for Gao Huan, he was still smiling.

Several brothers around Gao Huan stood up and confronted Hou Jing and his younger brothers behind him, but were stopped by Gao Huan.

"Hou Jing, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've already gained so many followers. Come sit down!"

Hou Jing sat down, but he was still angry and didn't want to talk to Gao Huan.

Gao Huan poured him some wine and waved his hand. Soon, everyone in the room left.

"Didn't you also betray your brother?"

Hou Jing picked up the wine and drank it. After finishing it, he still made some excuses.

"I was conserving my strength, lying in wait, and waiting for an opportunity to act. Otherwise, if the entire army were wiped out, who in Huaishuo Town could save my lord?"

After hearing this, Gao Huan lowered his brows and quickly poured another glass of wine for Hou Jing.

"Do you know why Po Liu Han Kongque didn't kill you and instead wanted to use you?"

Hou Jing looked at Gao Huan and said teasingly:
"Isn't it because I'm afraid that you, He Liuhun, will dominate Huaishuo Town!"

Gao Huan did not deny it. Instead, he sat closer and took the initiative to improve his relationship with Hou Jing.

"We are all from Huaishuo, having grown up together and knowing each other well. After Huaishuo was conquered, officials like Sima Ziru and Sun Teng fled, but I returned. Do you know why?"

"why?"

"I can't let go of the people of Huaishuo!"

Hou Jing glanced at Gao Huan and said disdainfully:
"Who are you trying to fool? Sima Ziru, Sun Teng and others have already gone to join Erzhu Rong. You're just a team leader. How can they recruit you if you go there?"

Gao Huan was not angry even though Hou Jing had exposed his little thoughts in public.

"I'm saying, we all know each other well, and we all know what a fart smells like."

"If you fart, let it go!"

Gao Huan sat up straight with a serious expression.

"To survive in this chaotic world, one must rely on one's family background and two on military forces. Sima Ziru and Sun Teng can leave, but I have to stay. I have to take care of the people in Huaishuo Town."

"What does this have to do with you betraying my Lord?"

"Have the 100,000 dan of grain and 30,000 head of cattle and sheep arrived?"

"arrive!"

After Hou Jing finished speaking, he looked at Gao Huan, as if he finally understood his plan.

"He Liuhun, are you also eyeing that batch of food?"

Gao Huan nodded.

"I've received news that a Rouran detachment of a thousand men, acting as a vanguard, has crossed the desert and reached the southern part of it. A large number of Rouran people have also followed this detachment southward. The reason the Rouran Khan is so anxious to transfer the royal court from the northern desert to the southern part is because he knows the Six Garrisons Army is failing, and he's eager to seize territory!"

"In this chaotic world, if you don't want to end up as the dish on the table, you have to have bargaining chips in your hand. Po Liu Han Kongque wants to treat us Huaishuo people as that dish, but we can also let him be on the table."

Hou Jing heard this and said hesitantly:

"what do you mean?"

"Together, you and I can already control most of the Huaishuo Town troops. Let's go rescue your lord. After we succeed, I only want 10% of that batch of food and fodder!"

"You are also from Huaishuo Town. You can't bear to see the people of Huaishuo Town being enslaved by the Rouran people, right? With this ten percent of food and grass as a bargaining chip, we Huaishuo people can leave this place of confinement!"

Hou Jing was still hesitant, and Gao Huan advised:

"The soldiers of Huaishuo and Wuchuan are the bravest in the world, but they are imprisoned in this northern border. If they could go south, the mediocre people in the world would be nothing to them!"

Hou Jing nodded and finally made up his mind.

"The thousand garrison troops I recently received are indeed formidable, almost as powerful as the Erzhu clan's Qihu troops and the Haner troops under my master's command."

Gao Huan was stunned, and the corner of his smiling face twitched, but he quickly recovered.

"How many troops are there?"

Hou Jing had no doubts and said honestly:

"Erzhu Rong has 7,000 Qihu soldiers. My master originally had 3,000 Han soldiers and later recruited another 2,000. The combat effectiveness of these 2,000 men is slightly inferior." After listening to this, Gao Huan shook the wine bowl in his hand, thought for a moment, and said:

"There is no time to lose, act quickly!"
-
In the Huaishuo Town General's Mansion, Li Shuang was lying on the bed, surrounded by a dozen women from the Poliuhan tribe.

"Hurry up and tell me, Ono-nii!"

Li Shuang yawned and sat up.

"Where did we leave the last chapter?"

"Speaking of the meeting between Master Jia and Sister Lin, what happened?"

"Then we have to start from the fairyland..."

Before Li Shuang finished speaking, one of the women interrupted him.

"Brother Daye, I think Young Master Jia and the daughter of the Xue family are a perfect match. Did they end up together?"

"How is that possible? Sister Lin is the one Mr. Jia truly loves."

"Sister Lin's family is just a poor family, how can they be worthy of Master Jia?"

……

Soon, Li Shuang heard a lot of controversial words such as Xue Guinu is a bitch and Lin Daiyu is a mistress.

The house was so lively that the sudden shouting and screaming outside did not affect it for a moment.

Until Hou Jing ran all the way into the house crying, and slid down to his knees in front of Li Shuang by inertia.

"My lord, Hou Jing is guilty. I am sorry that you have suffered so much due to my late rescue..."

Hou Jing looked up and saw Li Shuang sitting in a pile of cosmetics, with a look of despair on her face.

Damn, just because you’re handsome you can do whatever you want?
Hou Jing's arrival frightened the women in the house, who fled in all directions and hid in various corners of the house.

Gao Huan shouted outside:

"Hou Jing, have you rescued Brother Daye? Let's make a quick decision, we don't have much time."

"He Liuhun is here too?"

Hou Jing was standing by, trying to explain.

"My lord, he was also forced by Po Liu Han Kongque. Now he has come with me to rescue you, which shows his loyalty."

Li Shuang patted Hou Jing's shoulder, and every time he patted, Hou Jing felt a chill on his back.

"Don't be silly, how could I blame you? Am I that kind of petty person?"

Looking at the considerate Li Shuang, Hou Jing almost cried for some reason.

"Of course the Lord is not such a person. Let's go!"

Li Shuang stood up and walked out of the house with Hou Jing. Outside the house, Gao Huan was waiting with a sword in his hand.

"General, I apologize for any offense I've caused you. I hope you'll forgive me."

"That's fine. I'm not such a stingy person. He Liuhun is willing to abandon his evil ways and join the good and be loyal to the court. I won't blame him."

Suddenly, a burst of laughter was heard outside the yard.

"How interesting!"

Po Liu Han Kongque brought a group of soldiers and surrounded the yard.

At this moment, Li Shuang had quietly protected them behind him.

"Lord!"

I didn't expect that at this time, my lord, you are still willing to stand in front of your subordinates.

I am deeply grateful for this kindness.

Hou Jing felt touched, and then saw Li Shuang moving further and further away, and finally he reached the side of Po Liu Han Kongque.

"Father-in-law, I'm telling you, these Huaishuo people are unreliable. Outsiders can't compare to the deep bond between us, the father-in-law and son-in-law!"

father in law?

Gao Huan and Hou Jing looked at each other, and then their brains froze.
