Chapter 1695: Chapter 1695: Chongfei’s Darkened Script 47

Prince Zhen Nan’s gaze was icy, staring at Xun Jing.

After a long moment, he spoke.

"Even if this General doesn’t want it, it’s still mine."

Xun Jing raised his hand, his bony fingers reaching to touch the rising smoke.

At a touch, the smoke scattered.

His voice was slow, unhurried.

"The Emperor’s decree is already on its way."

As he spoke, he paused and looked up at Prince Zhen Nan.

"Last night, the imperial envoy and the envoy came to see how the General and the future Princess were getting along.

But the General chose to leave, leaving her there alone, humiliated and embarrassed."

As he said this, Xun Jing tried to grasp a wisp of smoke.

With a slight effort, the smoke instantly slipped away.

A marriage alliance is just that, where is there any real affection?

The Princess of marriage was driven out of the Prince Mansion to live in a post station, and even before marriage, this happened, causing such an uproar from Jianglan Country for an explanation.

Otherwise, there would be no way to explain it to the people.

So Jianglan Country sent an envoy.

Even at that banquet, Prince Zhen Nan didn’t need to do anything.

After all, his iron and cold reputation had long been known.

Even if he said nothing and waited for the banquet to end, the matter could be smoothed over.

But he left.

For a woman.

That woman fainted, and all of Prince Zhen Nan’s subordinates present pleaded with him to see her.

This manner, so arrogant, showed such disregard for the Princess of Jianglan Country.

How could the envoy possibly swallow this?

It just so happened, Xun Jing was there.

It just so happened, Xun Jing expressed affection for the Princess.

It just so happened, the envoy favored Xun Jing more.

Which led to today’s meeting between the two of them.

Prince Zhen Nan’s voice was still cold and hard.

"That is the matter of this Prince."

Xun Jing raised his eyelids, and the two stared at each other.

Then he slowly opened his mouth.

"The General does not cherish well, yet blames others?"

Finally, Ouyang Yu frowned.

He looked at Xun Jing.

A powerful aura leaked out.

Xun Jing just stood there smiling.

As if completely unaware of his hostility.

Then, Xun Jing said a sentence.

"I will withdraw the people from the ten miles of Qingzhou.

That strategic pass will henceforth be the General’s territory.

I think it will make the General’s future battles more convenient."

As the words fell, Ouyang Yu’s frown deepened.

The ten miles of Qingzhou, he just handed it over like that?

With a cold voice.

"You are giving up the ten miles of Qingzhou for that woman?"

Back then, at that place, the two had their deployments and confrontations.

Invisible smoke had once risen there.

It was a crucial link for grain transport to Shangyun City.

If someday war broke out.

Once it’s sealed off, the people of Shangyun City would have no escape.

Compared to having that place in someone else’s hands, Ouyang Yu trusted himself more.

However, after half a year of contention.

Xun Jing emerged superior, occupying that spot, from secret posts to officials, they were all his people.

Gradually consuming it completely.

Now, this ten miles of Qingzhou, he handed it over so nonchalantly.

Just for, that woman.

Xun Jing looked at him and spoke.

"I wonder if the Prince would be willing to let go of this useless Princess of marriage?"

Originally, when the decree came down, Ouyang Yu would have to agree whether he wanted to or not.

Xun Jing didn’t need to do any of this.

Their discussions were ambiguous, perhaps only the two of them understood the conversation between them.

After a long while, Ouyang Yu spoke expressionlessly.

"I hope you keep your word."

Xun Jing’s smile deepened.

"Thank you, General, for your help."
