Chapter 320: Chapter 318: Humiliation (Third Update)
Additionally, the Sun Family does not share the bloodline of the barbarians.
Therefore, whether it be the barbarian generals or the ordinary people below them,
everyone looks upon the State Preceptor of the Sun Family with much dissatisfaction.
But there’s nothing they can do, for the Great Khan trusts the other party.
This also results in everyone’s attitude towards him being sowhat hypocritical, with obedience on the surface but defiance in secret.
For instance, this ti around, even though Sun Heng was brought along and given a heavy responsibility,
the soldiers of the barbarians and their generals outwardly did not offend him, yet inwardly looked down upon him with disdain.
Even oftentis, they wouldn’t bother informing him about anything.
So would even deliberately conceal things from him and act on their own.
And regarding this, Sun Heng was naturally well aware.
But he too was helpless in the matter.
After all, although he possesses great influence and intellect, communicating with these simple-minded, physically robust barbarians can be like playing the lute to a cow at tis.
Once these people have made up their minds, not even several horses could pull them back.
Of course, the reason for his presence this ti was not without its intent to evaluate.
It could be said that if he performs well this ti, then upon his return, he would be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
He might even beco the candidate for the next Great State Preceptor.
“Report to the leader, Strategist Sun requests an audience with you!”
While the two were casually chatting, a soldier’s report suddenly ca from outside the tent.
Hearing this report, the two stopped their conversation imdiately.
After exchanging glances, a hint of disdain could be seen in their eyes.
Then they spoke out loud to the outside, saying, “Co in.”
Following that command, the tent flap that was lifted with such pomp was opened by soone outside.
Then, a Scholar dressed in literati attire walked in.
In his hand, he rather ostentatiously held a folding fan.
“Hehe, Leader Agusi, Deputy Leader Nazha, from afar I could sll the fragrance, and sure enough, the two of you are here enjoying at.
I wonder if I might be fortunate enough to join you two generals for a drink?”
Facing this refined individual, the two barbarian generals were obviously uninterested.
They didn’t even offer a smile to the other party.
Instead, with an extrely ordinary and calm deanor, they replied to him with a half-hearted smile and said:
“What brings Strategist Sun here, I wonder?
The food we have here is rough and simple, how could it suit the palate of Strategist Sun?
Strategist Sun, you should rather return to eat your fine food.”
These words were quite disrespectful towards the other party.
However, upon hearing these words, the Sun-nad individual did not show the slightest dissatisfaction.
Nor did he display any annoyance.
Instead, he sat down cheerfully in front of them,
grabbed a piece of mutton from the table, and ticulously began to slice it with a small knife.
Observing this effeminate action, Agusi, seemingly deliberately, grabbed a leg of lamb in front of him and took a big bite near his mouth.
This act created a stark visual contrast with the polite and literate Sun Heng sitting next to him.
“Leader Agusi is still as majestic as ever, hehe, it seems that after coming here, the leader has not suffered any discomfort from the foreign land.”
“Heh, I’m not like so people, frail and sickly since childhood.
Our Grassland n are rough; in any situation, as long as there’s sothing to eat, they can scrape by.”
Sun Heng spoke sentence by sentence, and Agusi retorted directly each ti, not giving him any face.
And seeing that there was no advantage to be gained on his end, Sun Heng also shook his head and said with a smile:
“Let’s not waste words anymore. I just heard so noise coming from inside the city. I wonder if the two leaders have heard it too?”
Obviously, he no longer wanted to continue talking about pointless topics with these two crude fellows.
After all, this was like playing the lute to a cow.
He went straight to the point.
However, upon hearing his question, the two furrowed their brows deeply.
Then they looked at Sun Heng with confusion:
“Noise? If you hadn’t ntioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed!
I did hear so noise just now.
But the sound was not that loud; it must be so Han people knocking on sothing.
What about it? Is Strategist Sun interested in this?”
Hearing this, Sun Heng visibly frowned:
“Didn’t the two leaders feel that the sound was different? Don’t you find it strange?”
“Strange? What’s so strange about it? Heh, Strategist Sun, stop making such a fuss!
It’s just so noise. If Strategist Sun wants to listen, I will give the order for my boys to find so war drums and play them beside Strategist Sun, how about that?”
Seeing the two buffoons acting so nonchalant, Sun Heng also seed to think he was overreacting.
After all, besides knocking on things, what else could make such sounds?
Perhaps he was indeed making a fuss over nothing, so he could only shake his head in resignation.
He then returned his gaze to the wooden platter in front of him.
But just as he was about to cut a piece of at with his knife to put into his mouth, the leg of lamb right in front of him disappeared in an instant.
On closer inspection, he saw that Agusi had already grabbed the piece of at in front of him.
And unabashedly took a big bite from it.
Seeing Sun Heng looking at him, Agusi suddenly acted as if he had co to a realization and threw the already bitten piece of lamb back onto the plate in front of Sun Heng:
“Oh, I forgot, this piece of at was originally Strategist Sun’s; I thought you didn’t want it anymore, here you go, don’t say I stole your at.”
Looking at the piece of lamb that had been bitten, Sun Heng inwardly cursed.
This bastard’s hostility towards him was indeed not small.
But don’t get arrogant for too long. Once I get the chance, I will surely eradicate your entire clan.
If I can’t even take down a brute like you, I’ll have no face to carry the Sun surna anymore.
Though he was seething inside, he still revealed a warm smile on his face.
Then he acted indifferently, picked up the knife, and cut the piece of lamb that had been bitten into small chunks.
He then skewered a piece with the knife and brought it to his mouth.
Such an action also made Agusi feel extrely smug.
Aren’t you very arrogant?
Aren’t you known as a strategist?
But in front of , you’re nothing!
