Pei Shu'er was taken aback; she had expected Commander Qian to retaliate.
But she hadn't anticipated that he'd seize the opportunity to harshly target their Deserted Mountain.
Even when the opportunity was this tenuous.
As those people surrounded them, Tang Zan frowned and stepped in front of the people of Deserted Mountain, frowning.
"May I ask Commander Qian, how have the people of Deserted Mountain delayed the construction?"
Commander Qian sneered coldly.
"The people of Deserted Mountain pretend to understand when they don't. Clearly incapable of firing bricks, yet they take on such an important task. You must know, without bricks, the city wall cannot be built."
Having said this, he then spoke with smug satisfaction.
"See, this is the outcome of your choice to use green bricks and stones. If you'd used the rammed earth method, everyone could have pitched in."
The people of Deserted Mountain were infuriated. Commander Qian was just deliberately finding fault.
