At the top of Qin City, General Lin looked at the camp with satisfaction.
Old General Lin had already begun to think with satisfaction about how handsome and prosperous the prince who had the blood of the Lin family would be twenty years later when he grew up.
The Lin family held military power, and they were high-ranking relatives. No matter how much Xi Chenzhou included in the harem, the status of those concubines would not be higher than that of his granddaughter.
And with him here, if Xi Chenzhou gets carried away and dotes on other concubines, or even makes them give birth to children, he will inevitably send people to kill those women and give him some warning!
He helped Xi Chenzhou conquer this world. He was the future elder of the country, so Xi Chenzhou had to respect him...
In the midst of his thoughts, a messenger on horseback suddenly ran out from the northwest army barracks under the city, holding a document in his hand, and headed straight for Qin City.
Old General Lin smiled, stroking his beard and said to the people beside him: "This must be Xi Chenzhou's peace agreement. We in Qin City can prepare Shili Hongzhuang for my precious granddaughter!"
Miss Lin's cheeks turned red and she lowered her head shyly. Her voice was low as the soldiers gnashed their teeth: "Grandpa, I don't want to let you go..."
"When a man gets married and a girl gets married, why don't you want to give up? Hahaha! When you become a mother and miss your family, you can let people enter the palace at any time!"
General Lin laughed loudly, waved his hand, and asked the soldiers at the top of Qin City to put down their hanging baskets and prepare to receive Xi Chenzhou's peace agreement—
However, the messenger suddenly reined in his horse and stopped in front of Qincheng!
Head held high, voice cold:
"My general refuses to accept peace negotiations!"
General Lin suspected for a moment that there was something wrong with his ears. The blush on Miss Lin's face turned pale in an instant, and the soldiers at the top of the city wall looked at each other in confusion.
"—You, what did you say?!" Old General Lin asked subconsciously, "Reject? How could he refuse? Does he want to fight?!"
The envoy said loudly: "My general said, if you want to fight, fight. The Northwest Army is never afraid of fighting! All obstacles along the way to the capital can't stop the Northwest Army's progress!"
He may seem thin in stature, but his voice is astonishingly loud. People can hear him clearly under the city, inside and outside Qin City, and in distant military camps.
At first glance, you can tell that this is a herald specially selected from among the soldiers to deliver messages.
At the top of Qin City, the soldiers couldn't help but curse: "What does Xi Chenzhou mean? He is provoking!"
"It's too humiliating. How can I let the young lady live?"
Miss Lin's frail figure looked shaky, her face was pale and her eyes were filled with tears. She gently held Old General Lin's arm, looking particularly pitiful and innocent. She choked and shook her head:
"Grandpa, I really didn't know things would turn out like this. General Xi must have misunderstood something. How about I explain?"
Old General Lin was already angry because he had been humiliated. But when he heard his distressed granddaughter's words, his anger instantly increased. He ran to the top of the city in a few steps, blushed and shouted:
"Absurd - really absurd. Even if you are good at fighting, it will not be so easy to capture Qin City! But if he marries my granddaughter, we will immediately turn our hostility into friendship. Does he understand this?!"
The envoy glanced towards the city, raised the corners of his lips, and smiled a bit sarcastically: "The general also said that Old General Lin is highly respected. If he is connected with the general through marriage and has military power, the Lin family will definitely develop again. To be able to threaten His Majesty's great family is something the general never wants to see!"
