Chapter 316: I’m Not Done With You!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“I’m unwilling to give up either, but so what? The 18 Stockaded Villages dared to attack you. They’re clearly not afraid of you.”
Prince Lei Ting did not understand him and asked, “What do you mean?”
Not afraid of me? Those people contracted the epidemic disease and don’t have a cure for it. They will die if they don’t switch allegiance to me.
Unless…
His yellowish eyes narrowed dangerously at the thought of that possibility.!!
“Did they obtain the prescription?”
“They’ve obviously obtained the prescription.”
The man inhaled deeply. He did not want to believe it either, but it was true.
The 18 Stockaded Villages had already obtained the prescription for the epidemic disease. That would explain why they dared to attack Prince Lei Ting so quickly.
Moreover, they could not find any fault with their plan. The epidemic had been raging at the border, but Prince Lei Ting was still wandering around alone. It would be surprising if he did not contract the disease.
“Think about it. Besides the people from the 11th Stockaded Village, who else contracted the epidemic disease there?”
“Damn it!” Prince Lei Ting cursed fiercely.
I should’ve known! Those people are so detestable! How dare they attack me!
However, he could not find any evidence. Even when the people from the 18 Stockaded Villages intercepted his escape, they did not leave any evidence behind!
“I’m not done with you, 18 Stockaded Villages!”
Since they dared attack him, he would show them who was in charge of Daqing Kingdom!
The man’s eyes glistened when he heard Prince Lei Ting’s words. He sneered to himself.
Although Prince Lei Ting wanted to settle the score with the 18 Stockaded Villages, it would depend on whether he could do so. He was the Emperor’s subject, but the other party was a force the Emperor dared not provoke.
If Prince Lei Ting really caused a scene and used his authority to suppress the 18 Stockaded Villages, the Emperor might reprimand him to avoid offending them.
After all, the 18 Stockaded Villages had Prince An Yang. His name alone was enough to intimidate the surrounding nations. The Emperor did not want to provoke them.
The man reminded him, “Your Highness, you should be patient for a while. If the Emperor finds out that you want to recruit the 18 Stockaded Villages, I’m afraid…”
Prince Lei Ting gasped at the mention of the Emperor.
Of course, the Emperor had been unaware of what he had been doing here. He tried to recruit the 18 Stockaded Villages under his command because the Emperor was far away from this place, and he could do whatever he wanted here.
If he recruited them successfully, the Emperor would have to be at his mercy, even if he wanted to criticize him for it.
However, he was not successful.
If Qian Jiyun reported this to the Emperor, he would definitely have to bear the consequences.
“Go to Prince Zhan Yun.”
“Uh, well…” The man hesitated.
He would probably be chased away by the soldiers before he could even enter the military camp.
“Your Highness, I’m afraid I don’t have any influence on Prince Zhan Yun, right? Why don’t you recover first and make a trip to the military camp yourself?”
Prince Lei Ting was furious and shouted at the man, “It’ll be too late by then!”
However, he had no choice. Qian Jiyun would not give face to anyone around him.
“Also, any updates about Xue Ling? Has the matter been settled?”
