Chapter 2196: There's No Worse Scheme to Sow Discord

Chapter 2196: There’s No Worse Scheme to Sow Discord

All men aspired to accumulate negative karma. Following the Emperor, fighting for him, and amassing merits promised a brighter future than remaining in this remote place, didn’t it?

The old general’s special request for Sun Hao to make this trip underscored how much he valued Zheng Sangge.

As long as Zheng Sangge wasn’t foolish, he would understand what to choose.

Sun Hao felt a twinge of envy towards Zheng Sangge. Despite the passage of many years, the old general still remembered this life-saving favor. The old general’s loyalty was truly commendable.

If Zheng Sangge went over, the old general would undoubtedly bestow upon him a significant role.

However, hmph, he might not be young anymore. It was uncertain if he still possessed the capacity to earn merits and accumulate negative karma. If he failed to meet expectations, the old general’s praises would be meaningless.

Then, there was Minor General Sun Pu. That man held grudges. After suffering significant losses in Huaixi, could he spare someone hailing from there?

Qiao Xuan was slightly surprised. She had come for Zheng Sangge, which was unexpected.

Yet, Qiao Xuan didn’t believe that General Sun’s intentions towards Zheng Sangge were genuine. She suspected that he was using this opportunity to provoke a rift between Zheng Sangge, herself, and her husband.

There was no more effective way to sow discord.

Zheng Sangge would never accompany Sun Hao.

However, Qiao Xuan still believed that Zheng Sangge should handle this matter personally, rather than involving herself or her husband. She respected Zheng Sangge in this regard.

With a smile, Qiao Xuan said, “I understand. So, General Sun is a very loyal man. It’s been many years, yet you’re still thinking of General Zheng. Why don’t you go and speak with him directly? We’ll honor his decision.”

Sun Hao was surprised by Qiao Xuan’s agreement to let him meet Zheng Sangge. He was left speechless.

Qiao Xuan continued, “However, you’ve arrived at an inconvenient time. General Zheng is currently out of the province. If you wish to meet him, you’ll have to wait here for a while.”

Sun Hao: “…”

He realized that Qiao Xuan wasn’t an easy person to deal with!

Observing his expression, Qiao Xuan sensed that he might think she was teasing him, leaving her momentarily speechless.

Yet, it was purely coincidental that Zheng Sangge had traveled to Hangzhou to address Zhao Shu’s issue. He was absent. What could she do?

Of course, she wouldn’t disclose this to Sun Hao.

Just as she pondered this, she heard Sun Hao suppress his anger and inquire, “I wonder where General Zheng is now. I wouldn’t mind meeting him.”

Qiao Xuan considered the situation to be an incredible stroke of luck. However, if Sun Hao doubted her, there was little she could do about it.

“He’s currently handling a critical matter, so he can’t disclose his whereabouts.”

“Is that so? When will General Zheng return?”

“It’s uncertain… It could be ten days, or it could take longer.”

Every word she uttered was genuine!

Sun Hao felt humiliated.

“Madam Shao, are you playing games with me?”

“General Sun, you’ve misunderstood. There’s no such intention.”

Sun Hao sneered. “Do you expect me to believe you, Madam Shao? Are you certain you don’t want to show respect to our old general?”

Qiao Xuan believed that while the Sun Family wasn’t crucial to her, Zheng Sangge couldn’t meet her at present.

“That’s all I have to say. General Sun, you can either wait here or leave.”
