Only in this way, he can do it so without changing his facial expression, calm as usual!

Zhu Yuan’s back has always been straight, not humble or overbearing. He calmly said: “Answering back to the Marshal, this subordinate has always been loyal to Prince Xiao, and will act according to his orders.”

Marshal Wang was so angry that he slammed his hand to the table. The wine cup on the table fell and the liquor spilled on the table: “Bastard, this is the country of Chu, but you’re saying you are loyal to Prince Xiao? Where do you think the emperor is? ”

Zhu Yuan knelt: “Marshal Wang should appease his anger. It’s only  you will suffer in the end.”

And it was only him who knows if he made a mistake.

General Hu and General Shi’s face became ugly. They didn’t expect that Zhu Yuan would say those words in front of Marshal Wang. They couldn’t tell if he was truly loyal or not.

Marshal Wang grabbed the wine cup on the table and threw it hard at Zhu Yuan.

Zhu Yuan only closed his eyes, he didn’t try to hide at all. When the winecup hit his forehead. He didn’t felt the pain, there was no pain at all for him. What’s painful was his heart.

The warm blood flowed down his cheek and dropped on his armor.

Marshal Wang no longer looked at him and waved his hand: “Get out, all of you get out!”

General Hu quickly lifted Zhu Yuan and dragged him out of the marshal’s camp.

When people left, Vice General Zhang immediately rushed to Marshal Wang and stroke his back: “Marshal, you mustn’t be angry.”

Marshal Wang waved his hand: “I’m not angry.”

Not angry? He just smashed Zhu Yuan with a wine cup, but he’s saying he’s not angry?

Marshal Wang said: “Didn’t you find Zhu Yuan different from General Hu and General Shi?”

Different? Vice General Zhang thought for a moment and then nodded his head: “Now that you mention it, I think he is different. It can be seen that Zhu Yuan betrayed His Royal Highness, Prince Jin. So in front of you, he should be feeling guilty like General Hu. But looking at him, he was not afraid nor guilty, why is that?”

Marshal Wang said: “As everyone said if you didn’t do anything bad, you don’t need to be afraid of ghost knocking at your door at night. Why should he feel guilty when he didn’t do anything bad? Only those people who have done evil feel guilty.”

Vice General Zhang suddenly said: “You mean, Zhu Yuan didn’t betray Prince Jin?”

Marshal Wang shook his head: “I’m just guessing, I’m not sure yet if he didn’t really betray Prince Jin. Changing the name of White Tiger Camp to Black Sparrow Camp should be his way to preserve his strength.”

Vice General Zhang nodded his head again and again: “Yes, I heard that there are still more than 20,000 soldiers in the Black Sparrow Camp. In the past 3 years, they only suffered 1000 casualties, while the Iron Cavalry Camp and Black Battalion Camp lost more than 10,000.”

Marshal Wang said to Vice General Zhang: “Go and find out who is the leader of the Iron Cavalry Camp. The one who leads the Iron Cavalry Camp and Black Battalion Camp to victory. He definitely wants to see me.”

When Vice General Zhang went away, only a few guards left in the tent. He looked at the food on the table, but he had no appetite at all, so he let everything be taken away.

Marshal Wang lied on the wooden bed in the tent. When he was about to fell asleep, a faint scent penetrated his nose, which was more fragrant than the food on the table just now.

A scolding sound from the guards outside the tent sounded. They seemed to be driving people away.

He quickly got up and get out of bed. He walked outside to check and saw a young boy carrying a large porcelain bowl being pushed by the guard.

What’s strange was, the young boy looked thin and short, but his hands that were holding the porcelain bowl were steady. When the guard pushed him, his body moved backward, but the contents of the bowl didn’t spill out at all.
