881: Letter from North Qi

Letter from North Qi

The most important thing for the heir was to reach a collaboration with the prince from North Qi.2

They had come to a deal with the Prince that Zhou Huailing could exchange ten magical monsters with him by giving him the song that summoned the phoenix, but the song was given, and yet the magical monsters had not yet arrived.

They urged with a letter, but the Prince said that the song did not bring him a phoenix, so he was not going to give them any magical monsters. It was a terrible deal for the North Qi.

Because of the broken deal, Zhou Huailing had been very distressed these days.

That was ten magical monsters! It could be as powerful as one troup! He must not give it up. Therefore, he had been negotiating this matter these days.

The letter that arrived was after Zhou Huailing sent a warning. It was the last letter they would receive from the Prince regarding this deal.

Xie Yan passed the letter to Zhou Huailing while he was still panting.

Zhou Huailing took the letter and ripped it open, then he started to read the content.

He had been full of expectations, but his face sank directly.

He threw the letter on the table and struck it, bellowing furiously, "How dare he!"

Hearing this deafening sound, Xie Yan shivered.

Judging from the heir's look, he was aware that the deal was totally broken.

He had not had a good feeling when the Prince broke the deal for the first time. It did not seem like a very easy mission to complete.

They reached the deal with Prince privately, so it should not be revealed. Nor should it be mentioned to the King. Therefore, even if the heir was from a powerful country like the Saint Divine Land, they could not possibly do anything to the Prince from the North Qi Land alone. That was why they had to bear the loss alone.

If the deal for the ten magical monsters was known to the King and the ministers in the court, then the heir might be suspected to have the intention for treason, and then the heir might lose his position.

That would be a terrible thing. However, he just could not stand it that the deal was broken in this way.

That was the most tricky thing right now.

Xie Yan craned his neck at the heir who was furious. It was a tricky issue and he had no idea what the heir was thinking. He did not dare to say anything either.

The heir had changed a lot, so he, as the strategist, did not dare to make any proposals. The heir had his own proposals and ideas, so all he could do was assist him.

Xie Yan had no energy to continue to be the strategist.

What he wished for right now was to stay by the heir's side and finish what he had promised the heir. When all of this was done, there would be nothing more he could do, yet he would not feel so guilty for not having helped the heir.

That was what Xie Yan was thinking at the moment.

He looked at Zhou Huailing with a steady face, waiting for his orders and arrangement.

Zhou Huailing calmed himself down after venting his anger.

He sat down and said with a frown. "Xie Yan, we can't drop it, we have to continue, look…"
