1356 Trip Back
Huangpu and Wu Leng as well as a few soldiers felt really glad, as Gu Chaoyan smiled briefly as well. She looked at Zhou Huaijin, but said nothing, like everyone else.
Zhou Huailing, on the other hand, felt really horrible.
When he came to Xinzhou, he had already thought about it on the way. He wanted to give Eighth Brother and the others a blow and let them understand the stakes, but unexpectedly, just after arriving in Xinzhou, the Eighth Brother gave him a blow instead. Eighth Brother had become proud. He had just won one battle and he was already treating him like this.
Luckily, he was already in Xinzhou and was going to be the Chief. He was going to do something to counter him.
!!
Zhou Huailing glanced at Junyi and told him to think about what to do to punish that arrogant man.
When everything was settled, Zhou Huailing felt slightly a.s.sured.
They had just come to the outside of the chief’s tent, and Zhou Huaijin gave the authority token to Zhou Huailing, then he said straightforwardly, “Crown Prince, since you are already in Xinzhou and have received the authority token, I am done with what I ought to do. Before the day becomes dark again, we will start to hurry back to the capitol. Father told me that there are a lot of things to tell me, so I can’t be slow.
Having said that, he was about to leave with Gu Chaoyan.
Zhou Huailing looked very astonished. He was just thinking about how to take the opportunity to make his Eighth Brother pay for what he just did, when his Eighth Brother said that he was leaving.
His plan was failing!
Junyi greeted Zhou Huaijin. “Take care.”
Hearing that, Zhou Huailing interrupted what he was about to say and replied, “Okay.”
Zhou Huaijin left with Gu Chaoyan.
Huangpu saw that and said, “Crown Prince, we will see Lord Huai off.”
Zhou Huailing’s expression got even more twisted.
Junyi reminded him of something so he forced himself to nod at it.
Huangpu and Wu Leng as well as a few soldiers left.
Only Zhou Huailing, Junyi, Gu Ruxue and the Right General were still inside the tent, and everything had gone quiet.
Zhou Huailing was really angry.
He was the Crown Prince, and he came to Xinzhou to be the chief, but everyone else was caring about his Eighth Brother? What did that mean?
Junyi looked at the Right General, asking, “Right General, could you go and arrange people outside.”
The Right General hesitated before walking out.
When they were left alone, Junyi reminded the Crown Prince. “Crown Prince, don’t get mad at these people. They were just very straightforward, and they are not as smart as the officers in the capital. Otherwise they would not have lost the border. They think that Lord Huai has once been their chief, so they should pay him respect, that is all. When Lord Huai is gone, nothing like this will happen again.”
“…”
“What is the point of them seeing Lord Huai off? If you don’t allow Lord Huai to leave the capital, the soldiers from Xinzhou will never see him again. What are you so angry about?”
“…”
“We are here to work in the military and to earn the hearts of the civilians. You don’t need to worry about them.”
Hearing this, Junyi made Zhou Huailing feel slightly better. He nodded and sat down.
Zhou Huaijin and his men were about to leave when Duke North’s guards stopped them…
