The Qin army camp at the foot of the mountain.

In the evening, the Ninth Prince took the Qin army who had gone up the mountain back to the big tent where they camped.

It took about three days to wait.

The army that went to the Great Zhou Dynasty to plunder treasures finally returned.

It's just that the various resources carried this time are obviously not as good as before, both in quantity and type.

There is no way, there are only so many cities in the northern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

There are only a handful of places where you can harvest oil and water, and they have basically robbed them all before. Some of the remaining places are either military garrisoned or are dangerous places.

In addition, King Yu's army has now arrived in the North.

The defense capabilities of many cities in the North have been greatly increased.

It will obviously become more and more difficult for the Qin army to continue collecting supplies.

Fortunately, the original 50,000-strong army now only has more than 30,000 left.

Otherwise, if there is still a full force of 50,000 troops, I am afraid that now in this ice and snow, there will not even be enough food for self-sufficiency.

If you still can't get rid of the beast king on the mountain in one or two months.

Qin Jun really needs to think carefully about whether to go back home.

Think of this.

The Ninth Prince's face turned dark immediately, as if he had never washed the bottom of a pot.

The Qin State implemented a military merit system.

If soldiers want to receive rewards and rewards, they must go to the battlefield and make contributions to the country.

Credit is calculated based on head count.

The same is true for their group of princes.

Today Emperor Qin has twelve sons.

If the princes want to inherit the throne and control the supreme power of Qin, they also need to go to the battlefield to compete for credit.

Currently, among the twelve sons of Emperor Qin, only nine have the hope of competing to be the next emperor.

And he is the youngest Ninth Prince among the nine heirs.

The three younger brothers below him are all underage now and have no chance of participating in this battle for the crown prince.

There are eight brothers above him.

Among them, the second, fourth, sixth, seventh and eighth princes have relatively mediocre qualifications and have basically surrendered in the battle for the crown prince.

The remaining eldest prince, third prince, and fifth prince are his main competitors.

As the youngest being among this group of people, the pressure on the Ninth Prince is undoubtedly extremely huge.

After all, the eldest prince is the eldest son and has enjoyed the most noble treatment since his birth. He is surrounded by a cloud of generals and a rain of advisers.

The other brothers are also several years older than him.

All kinds of foundations are much stronger than him.

Naturally, he would not be reconciled to this.

That's why.

As a prince, he would not hesitate to take such a big risk.

He led a group of Qin troops from Hangu Pass all the way across the Shiwan Mountains to the northern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Complete this extremely dangerous mission.

Originally, according to his plan, the Qin army should have had enough time to prepare.

After all, 50,000 troops appeared in the Northland. They were confused for a long time on Monday and certainly did not dare to send troops rashly.

And what he earns is this time difference.

At that time, as long as the road in the snow in the north is opened, his mission will be successfully completed.

Later, when he returned to Xianyang to fight for the throne, he made great achievements.

For this reason, he even went so far as to win over the leader of the beast masters at the expense of Corporal Xian.

I just hope that after completing the task, I can go back and deliver the work.

But now.

Everything was beyond his expectation.

First, the treasures in Dingyuan City were burned down.

This was a wake-up call for the confident Ninth Prince.

And the most uncomfortable thing is that since this incident happened, Qin Jun seems to have suddenly become unlucky.

After a lot of plunder, gifts were given to several carts.

Until now, I haven't taken down the Beast King outside the snow mountain.

This made the Ninth Prince wonder if something was wrong.

Think about it.

His eyes naturally looked at the beast master not far away.

I don't feel any problems in other aspects.

Now the only thing that makes him unsure is the beast master in front of him.

Because every time I send my baby to the valley.

This beast master always enters alone with several soldiers to deliver gifts.

And as a dignified prince.

He has never even seen the so-called beast king with his own eyes until now.

Once or twice is okay, the Ninth Prince can still comfort himself.

But now it has happened again and again.

No matter how hard his brain was, the Ninth Prince still smelled something unusual.

So, after returning to camp.

The Ninth Prince, who was originally kind and condescending, showed a rare look of coldness and cruelty.

Looking at the beast master not far away.

The Ninth Prince looked coldly and said: "Qi Fan, why has that beast king refused to meet me until now? Is there something you are hiding from me?"

When the reincarnated person named Qi Fan heard this, he knew that his repeated perfunctory actions had touched the bottom line of the Ninth Prince.

He couldn't help but bite the bullet and said: "Your Highness, the Ninth Prince, give me a little more time. After so many negotiations and gifts, the Beast King has relented. I will definitely be able to persuade him next time. If not, Your Highness, you can use me."

It’s on everyone’s head!”

Even though that's what it says.

But what Qi Fan was thinking in his heart was completely different from this.

Now, although he has defected to the Qin army.

But compared to the camp rewards and main mission rewards, whether he can conquer this extremely cold spirit fox seems to be more critical to him.

But now he is full of tricks.

All kinds of tricks were used, but there was still no way to subdue him.

If you continue to persist, you will probably achieve nothing.

Maybe we really just have to wait until the conditions are more mature to try here again.

No matter what.

During the next negotiation, he first discussed the path that the Qin army wanted to open up.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to communicate with the Ninth Prince.

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Prince showed a bit of suspicion on his face.

Apparently he has lost trust in Qi Fan.

But now Qin Jun has no other window through which he can talk to Ling**.

Therefore, he could only be patient and give Qi Fan another chance.

However, he had secretly decided that after returning to Qin, he would not give this damn guy any good luck no matter what.

However.

Just when the two of them had different expressions and were scheming against each other.
