Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 320 - 318: Humiliation (Third Update)

Additionally, the Sun Family does not share the bloodline of the barbarians.

Therefore, whether it be the barbarian generals or the ordinary people below them,

everyone looks upon the State Preceptor of the Sun Family with much dissatisfaction.

But there’s nothing they can do, for the Great Khan trusts the other party.

This also results in everyone’s attitude towards him being somewhat hypocritical, with obedience on the surface but defiance in secret.

For instance, this time around, even though Sun Heng was brought along and given a heavy responsibility,

the soldiers of the barbarians and their generals outwardly did not offend him, yet inwardly looked down upon him with disdain.

Even oftentimes, they wouldn’t bother informing him about anything.

Some would even deliberately conceal things from him and act on their own.

And regarding this, Sun Heng was naturally well aware.

But he too was helpless in the matter.

After all, although he possesses great influence and intellect, communicating with these simple-minded, physically robust barbarians can be like playing the lute to a cow at times.

Once these people have made up their minds, not even several horses could pull them back.

Of course, the reason for his presence this time was not without its intent to evaluate.

It could be said that if he performs well this time, then upon his return, he would be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

He might even become the candidate for the next Great State Preceptor.

"Report to the leader, Strategist Sun requests an audience with you!"

While the two were casually chatting, a soldier’s report suddenly came from outside the tent.

Hearing this report, the two stopped their conversation immediately.

After exchanging glances, a hint of disdain could be seen in their eyes.

Then they spoke out loud to the outside, saying, "Come in."

Following that command, the tent flap that was lifted with such pomp was opened by someone outside.

Then, a Scholar dressed in literati attire walked in.

In his hand, he rather ostentatiously held a folding fan.

"Hehe, Leader Agusi, Deputy Leader Nazha, from afar I could smell the fragrance, and sure enough, the two of you are here enjoying meat.

I wonder if I might be fortunate enough to join you two generals for a drink?"

Facing this refined individual, the two barbarian generals were obviously uninterested.

They didn’t even offer a smile to the other party.

Instead, with an extremely ordinary and calm demeanor, they replied to him with a half-hearted smile and said:

"What brings Strategist Sun here, I wonder?

The food we have here is rough and simple, how could it suit the palate of Strategist Sun?

Strategist Sun, you should rather return to eat your fine food."

These words were quite disrespectful towards the other party.

However, upon hearing these words, the Sun-named individual did not show the slightest dissatisfaction.

Nor did he display any annoyance.

Instead, he sat down cheerfully in front of them,

grabbed a piece of mutton from the table, and meticulously began to slice it with a small knife.

Observing this effeminate action, Agusi, seemingly deliberately, grabbed a leg of lamb in front of him and took a big bite near his mouth.

This act created a stark visual contrast with the polite and literate Sun Heng sitting next to him.

"Leader Agusi is still as majestic as ever, hehe, it seems that after coming here, the leader has not suffered any discomfort from the foreign land."

"Heh, I’m not like some people, frail and sickly since childhood.

Our Grassland men are rough; in any situation, as long as there’s something to eat, they can scrape by."

Sun Heng spoke sentence by sentence, and Agusi retorted directly each time, not giving him any face.

And seeing that there was no advantage to be gained on his end, Sun Heng also shook his head and said with a smile:

"Let’s not waste words anymore. I just heard some noise coming from inside the city. I wonder if the two leaders have heard it too?"

Obviously, he no longer wanted to continue talking about pointless topics with these two crude fellows.

After all, this was like playing the lute to a cow.

He went straight to the point.

However, upon hearing his question, the two furrowed their brows deeply.

Then they looked at Sun Heng with confusion:

"Noise? If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed!

I did hear some noise just now.

But the sound was not that loud; it must be some Han people knocking on something.

What about it? Is Strategist Sun interested in this?"

Hearing this, Sun Heng visibly frowned:

"Didn’t the two leaders feel that the sound was different? Don’t you find it strange?"

"Strange? What’s so strange about it? Heh, Strategist Sun, stop making such a fuss!

It’s just some noise. If Strategist Sun wants to listen, I will give the order for my boys to find some war drums and play them beside Strategist Sun, how about that?"

Seeing the two buffoons acting so nonchalant, Sun Heng also seemed to think he was overreacting.

After all, besides knocking on things, what else could make such sounds?

Perhaps he was indeed making a fuss over nothing, so he could only shake his head in resignation.

He then returned his gaze to the wooden platter in front of him.

But just as he was about to cut a piece of meat with his knife to put into his mouth, the leg of lamb right in front of him disappeared in an instant.

On closer inspection, he saw that Agusi had already grabbed the piece of meat in front of him.

And unabashedly took a big bite from it.

Seeing Sun Heng looking at him, Agusi suddenly acted as if he had come to a realization and threw the already bitten piece of lamb back onto the plate in front of Sun Heng:

"Oh, I forgot, this piece of meat was originally Strategist Sun’s; I thought you didn’t want it anymore, here you go, don’t say I stole your meat."

Looking at the piece of lamb that had been bitten, Sun Heng inwardly cursed.

This bastard’s hostility towards him was indeed not small.

But don’t get arrogant for too long. Once I get the chance, I will surely eradicate your entire clan.

If I can’t even take down a brute like you, I’ll have no face to carry the Sun surname anymore.

Though he was seething inside, he still revealed a warm smile on his face.

Then he acted indifferently, picked up the knife, and cut the piece of lamb that had been bitten into small chunks.

He then skewered a piece with the knife and brought it to his mouth.

Such an action also made Agusi feel extremely smug.

Aren’t you very arrogant?

Aren’t you known as a strategist?

But in front of me, you’re nothing!
