“Slow.”Xu Long did not dare to be the slightest bit slow at this critical moment, and hurriedly called a halt to the order of the head envoy.
Obviously, the head envoy was a bit confused, not knowing what Xu Long’s intention was in suddenly calling a halt at such a time, “Hall Master Xu, you don’t agree?”
“Hall Master Xu, you wouldn’t have been scared out of your wits by the enemy, hearing that the enemy is coming, is it hard for you to want to just choose to run away at this time.”
“Hmph, still boasting about what Palace Master, I see, in reality, it’s nothing more than a rat, a coward.”
The other two envoys immediately drank in a cold voice with disdain.
If it were in the past, the few elders at this time would have inevitably retorted strongly, after all, for them, insulting their Hall Master would be just as hard as killing them.
However, at this time today, the three Elders in fact did not have any rebuttal, and only stared at Xu Long in a strange and puzzled manner just like the other envoys, really not understanding what he was trying to do at this time.
Xu Long looked at the eyes of a few people, and in his heart, he knew very well that his own scene had obviously attracted unnecessary misunderstandings.
Sighing, Xu Long was filled with helplessness, “I don’t mean to refrain from fighting, this battle cannot be avoided no matter what, it has to be fought.”
“However, since it has to be fought, it is bound to be fought with great vigour, even if it is only to be won and not to be defeated, do you understand what I mean?”
The other envoys had wanted to retort a few sentences, thinking that Xu Long was looking for a remedy for his own incompetence after being criticised by them, however, they were still forcibly stopped by the envoy in charge.
The head envoy was relatively sensible and looked towards Xu Long, saying, “Hall Master Xu, please elaborate.”
Xu Long was not angry and hurriedly explained, “Envoy, like I said earlier, capturing a thief is bound to be a good thing, and the benefits are known to all of us in the party, so I don’t need to say anything more.”
Seeing his nod, Xu Long continued to add, “But this is a battle that must be taken down, otherwise, capturing the thief will not capture the king, but will instead become a catalyst for us.”
“Our soldiers will think that someone else’s two people in a district can make a sensational attack on top of our army and still get away in one piece, how bad our strength that is.”
“At that time, the collapse of the army’s heart will in fact be even more tragic and rapid.”
“Therefore, we must win, and if we want to win, then we must all personally take the field, and never rely on these soldiers.”
“What you mean, Palace Master Xu, is that all of our experts present must all strike, yes?”The head envoy said.
Xu Long nodded, “Exactly.”
The other envoy was disgruntled when he heard this, “Is this necessary?It’s just two people from the others, but it turns out that all the good guys on our side are going together.”
“Hall Master Xu, do you think that this is what we should do?Is this not humiliating enough?”
“Not bad, more people bullying less people, this battlefield so, not to mention, after all, it’s a marching battle, but this raid by others is only a mere two people, but we have to make such a big fuss, if we let people spread the word, won’t it be the same for people to laugh their heads off?”
Xu Long smiled disdainfully, “Since ancient times, the successful king, the loser is a bandit, all the history in this world is never written by the victor.”
“The fact of the matter is that no one cares about how you succeeded, and even if they did, it would be up to you to tell them how you won.”
“On the contrary, if we lose, how much will the enemy’s confidence grow, and how low will our morale be?So, how this account is going to be settled couldn’t really be simpler.”
The head envoy nodded, no matter how one put it, Xu Long’s words were very reasonable, in fact, this was indeed a battle that one could win or lose.
There might not be much face if one won, but if one lost, there would be even less face, and even a lot of things would be completely lost.
“Hall Master Xu’s words are very reasonable, so be it, follow my orders.”
A few people could only lower their heads and listen to their orders.
“The three of us, along with Hall Master Xu and the other three elders, a total of seven people, will fully encircle Han Sanqian.”
“Among them, Hall Master Xu leads the three elders as one, and the three of us will then position ourselves as one to attack from the left and right, and if the forces are closed in, then everything will be at Hall Master Xu’s command.”
