”Dayan Mangban, we meet again. Did you get my gift?”
Wang Chong slowly trotted his horse forward, smirking.
Buzz!
At these words, Dayan Mangban's complexion instantly turned dark, a fierce anger emerging in his eyes. He naturally knew what Wang Chong was talking about. The 'gift' Wang Chong spoke of was undoubtedly the twenty-seven thousand soldiers of Zhangzhung Training Camp and the Dayan Clan's Dayan Pugyal.
”There's no need to worry. You'll quickly be receiving my 'gift' as well.”
Dayan Mangban rode his horse forward, coldly staring at Wang Chong, a savage glow in his eyes.
”Hahaha, then I look forward to it.”
Wang Chong heartily chuckled. He wasn't worried that Dayan Mangban would strike, but rather that he wouldn't. After all, he still had the 'Threat to Qixi' mission to complete. Just his words and Dayan Mangban's personality ensured that Dayan Mangban would not lightly choose to retreat.
”Oh, by the way, Dayan Mangban, besides you, I've also prepared a gift for the Ü-Tsang Empire. Do you see that fortress behind me? In the future, these fortresses will extend all the way into the interior of the plateau, right up to the Tsenpo's royal capital. I've always respected His Majesty the Tsenpo, so I plan to build this sort of fortress outside the royal capital to express my respect!”
”Impudent!”
At these words, Dayan Mangban's eyes grew even colder, even more brimming with rage. Even Dusong Mangpoje at the rear of the army had to slightly frown at these words. Wang Chong was clearly making a naked threat, and unlike his conflict with Dayan Mangban, this was a threat aimed straight at the Tsenpo of the Ü-Tsang Empire.
In the Ü-Tsang Empire, the Tsenpo held supreme status as a manifestation of a god. Any Tibetan commander would find it impossible to bear Wang Chong's words.
”Brat, you're seeking death!”
Dayan Mangban closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. No one had ever dared to act so brashly in front of him before. In the past, his opponents would all be trembling in fear, and even Pulan He's face before his death had been stricken with fear, his entire body trembling.
Dayan Mangban had never experienced such a challenging foe.
”…All recklessness has a price to pay. I will definitely crush your corpse under the hooves of my horse, lop off your head, and then display it on the edge of the plateau so that all Tang know what will happen to those who challenge me.”
”Hahaha, I'm different from you. Killing you is just a part of the process, not the goal. In the future, I will eradicate all the forces the Ü-Tsang Empire has bordering Qixi, completely resolving any threats to it. Not only that, I will thrust the banner of the Great Tang into the heart of Ü-Tsang, toppling it over so as to show everyone what happens to enemies of the Great Tang.”
Wang Chong gave a roar of laughter.
Buzz!
In the rear of the army, Dusong Mangpoje, who had originally been putting all his attention on Fumeng Lingcha, couldn't help but deeply frown at Wang Chong's words.
And the distant Fumeng Lingcha also couldn't help but frown.
”Milord…”
Several of the Qixi scouts by Fumeng Lingcha's side seemed to brighten up and subconsciously glance at Fumeng Lingcha. Although Wang Chong was their opponent, even they, as soldiers of the Qixi Protectorate army, couldn't help but admire him for these words.
”Everyone, shut up!” Fumeng Lingcha harshly rebuked, his face gloomy. He naturally knew what these subordinates were thinking, but this only served to stimulate his jealousy and killing intent.
No matter what, this brat can't be allowed to survive.
Fumeng Lingcha clenched his fists, causing his knuckles to crack.
The more outstanding Wang Chong was, the greater a threat he posed to the Hu. He could not be allowed to live.
But Fumeng Lingcha had no idea that there was a person at this time who wanted to kill Wang Chong even more.
If Dayan Mangban was just angry at the start, by now, he was on the verge of going insane.
”Wang Chong, if you wanted to provoke me, then you've succeeded. I've changed my mind now. I won't let you easily die. You care a lot about Qixi, right? I will kill each and every soldier of Qixi and make the Great Tang's Qixi Protectorate nothing more than a part of history.” Dayan Mangban smiled savagely.
”Let's go!”
Dayan Mangban almost immediately turned his horse around and left. Behind him, the White Braves followed, the hooves of their horses clopping against the ground as they galloped off.
”Xu Keyi, tell all troops to get ready. A major battle will soon be upon us.”
Wang Chong narrowed his eyes as he watched Dayan Mangban leave.
”Yes, Lord Marquis!”
Xu Keyi turned and left with the order.
”Li Siye, there's no going back. We must kill Dayan Mangban!” Wang Chong said, continuing to look forward.
”Lord Marquis, this general will do everything possible to carry out this order,” Li Siye sternly replied.
