Qi Haoran threw the Jin deputy general to the ground and asked Fan Zijin, who had run over, “Did the Jin Kingdom make a move?”
With a strange expression on his face, Fan Zijin shook his head and replied, “No.” It would be strange if that was the case. They had wasted a day and a night on guard, but there was no movement from the Jin Kingdom.
“Good news.” Qi Haoran said, “Tell the people of Fuping County to pay attention to the situation and maintain martial law.” He looked at the soldiers behind him and said, “Leave these people behind.”
After Qi Haoran gave the order, he got someone to detain the Jin Country’s deputy general and send him back to the West Camp for interrogation.
Fan Zijin looked at the deputy general of the Jin Kingdom who was being escorted to the back, then narrowed his eyes and asked, “You only captured him?”
“There are still five Jin soldiers left behind. What’s wrong?”
Fan Zijin revealed an unfathomable smile and said, “Let’s palm off a substitute for the real thing.”
Qi Haoran widened his eyes and said, “Aren’t you thinking too much?”
Reality proved that Fan Zijin was not thinking too much. When they rushed back to the General’s Residence, the soldiers who had separated at the city gate ran over to report. With a flustered expression, they said, “The carriage escorting the deputy general of the Jin Kingdom overturned halfway. The person inside broke his neck and is already dead.”
Qi Haoran’s face instantly turned ashen. He asked angrily, “Why did the carriage overturn out of nowhere?”
“Little General, I don’t know what provoked that horse to suddenly run. We couldn’t stop it at all. It even bumped into a few commoners on the way. If it weren’t for the fact that the horse was so crazy that it couldn’t tell the direction and crashed into a wall, there would definitely be more people injured.”
Fan Zijin patted his shoulder and waved at the soldier. “Alright, leave this matter to the assistant commander of the West Camp. Send the corpse of the deputy general of the Jin Kingdom over. Also, the injured citizens have to be properly attended to.”
Just as the soldier was about to retreat, he heard Young Master Fan say vaguely, “Alright, didn’t you interrogate him on the way? Didn’t you get nothing out of him? If he’s dead, so be it…”
