"In my opinion, you don't need to give the suppressing medicine to those people anymore. Just give it to me alone," General Zhang said as if it were a matter of course.
Isn't it a waste to give it to so many people? It's useless even if they take it. They'll still die on the battlefield anyway. Whether it's early or late, they're doomed. It's better for them to die earlier and leave the hope to others.
Hearing General Zhang's words, Mu Fengqie sneered sarcastically. "General Zhang, right? I'd like to know who gave you the audacity to say such extremely shameless words.
To be honest, in all my years, this is the first time I've ever met someone like you."
General Zhang looked at Mu Fengqie with an ugly expression. He didn't expect this bitch to disobey him. "Princess Tianlin, I'm talking to you nicely now. Don't force a rough guy like me to use violence."
General Zhang thought Mu Fengqie would be scared and agree. Instead, Mu Fengqie slapped him directly. "Get out! I've never seen such a brazen person. You still want the antidote first? Why don't you just fly to the sky? With these words of yours, I've decided to give it to you last." Or rather, not give it to him at all. A person like this is a scourge if left alive.
"Mu Fengqie! Don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! I was giving you face just now! Since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me for taking action." Saying this, General Zhang rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Mu Fengqie.
Mu Fengqie glanced at General Zhang, her eyes showing no trace of emotion. "Zhu Yan."
Hearing Mu Fengqie call his name, Zhu Yan immediately brought Yuan Yerui in. After seeing what was going on in the tent, they were instantly enraged. Yuan Yerui's eyes even turned red. This brute actually dared to try to attack his master!
"You bastard!" Yuan Yerui rushed out first. General Zhang wasn't on guard and was directly punched by Yuan Yerui. Normally, a child's strength wouldn't be great, but Yuan Yerui aimed at the most painful spots.
General Zhang covered his ribs and looked at the two people who had entered with a livid face. "How dare you! This is a military camp. How can you act so recklessly!"
"I'm not one of your soldiers. What right do you have to tell me what to do?" Zhu Yan glanced at General Zhang and then went up to punch him a few more times. General Zhang was now in so much pain that he couldn't move.
"Alright, take this person out. Don't let him get on my nerves." Mu Fengqie stopped the two of them from wanting to continue beating him.
"Yes, my subordinate understands." Zhu Yan dragged General Zhang on the ground out. A person like this should be exposed to the public.
Sure enough, after General Zhang was dragged out of the main tent by Zhu Yan, he attracted a large crowd's attention. And it so happened that Jing Xunche saw this scene when he came back. A bad feeling immediately welled up in his heart, and he quickly walked over.
"What happened?" Jing Xunche glanced at General Zhang on the ground and asked.
Before Zhu Yan and Yuan Yerui could say anything, General Zhang on the ground spoke up. "My Lord Marquis, look at these two. I just went in to care about the princess, and they beat me up without even finding out the truth. And the princess just stood by and watched. She even said she wouldn't give me the antidote. My Lord Marquis, I was personally appointed by the emperor. If you don't give me an explanation for such an insult, I won't let it go."
Seeing General Zhang's act of playing the victim, Zhu Yan kicked him again. "Nonsense! Does our master need your so - called care? Why didn't you go and care about all those wounded soldiers?"
"That's right. I heard everything clearly outside the tent. This bastard came to see my master just so that she would give him a bowl of the antidote first. He even said to stop giving the suppressing medicine to everyone else and just give it to him alone."
"My master was so angry that she told us to teach him a lesson. Poor my master. At first, when she refused, this brute even wanted to attack her. She's a pregnant woman. How could she possibly escape? If we hadn't arrived in time, maybe my master..."
As he spoke, Yuan Yerui's eyes turned red, as if the only person he relied on was about to leave the world.
The people around believed these words without a doubt because they had already witnessed General Zhang's selfishness. The guard was right. The princess had the marquis to care about her. She didn't need this outsider's so - called care. If this got out, wouldn't it slander the princess's reputation?
"General Zhang, we need an explanation," a group of people surrounded General Zhang. After hearing Zhu Yan's words, Jing Xunche rushed into the tent. He let out a sigh of relief after seeing that Mu Fengqie was safe and sound.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness you're okay, Qie'er," Jing Xunche wiped the sweat off his forehead and said.
"What could happen to me? I have secret guards around me. No one can bully me. Besides, I know light - body skills. I'll be fine." Mu Fengqie picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat off Jing Xunche's face.
However, Jing Xunche insisted on making Mu Fengqie drink a cup of calming tea. After assigning someone to guard the tent, he finally went out with peace of mind.
Outside, General Zhang was still arguing with the soldiers. Although he had been so confident when talking to Mu Fengqie in the tent, he became a coward when facing all the soldiers.
No matter how powerful a person is, they can't fight against so many people at once.
When General Zhang saw Jing Xunche come out, he was like a drowning man seeing a life - buoy. His eyes lit up as he looked at Jing Xunche and said, "My Lord Marquis, quickly make them disperse. I've already said that things aren't what they think."
However, Jing Xunche just glanced at General Zhang and then shifted his gaze. His cold eyes emitted a strong killing intent.
"Come here! General Zhang openly defied military orders. Letters from the bandits of Wupianshan were found in his tent. General Zhang colluded with the bandits and caused the deaths of many of our soldiers. He also tried to poison us but failed. After realizing that his plot was exposed, he tried to assassinate me. Fortunately, we discovered it in time and he didn't succeed. Now take him away. Wait until the soldiers recover from their illness, and then everyone can watch as he is beheaded immediately!"
Jing Xunche's words made all the soldiers excited. They had been dissatisfied with General Zhang for a long time. The marquis's actions now were really satisfying. It was so refreshing!
After hearing Jing Xunche's words, General Zhang was completely stunned. He looked at Jing Xunche in disbelief. "You can't treat me like this. I was sent by the emperor. Only the emperor can punish me!"
Amid General Zhang's unwilling shouts, Jing Xunche walked away step by step. General Zhang was also gagged and tied up by the soldiers and taken away. This was the entrance to the main tent. What if his shouting disturbed the princess?
