Chapter 907: Chapter 905: Su Qingzhi Is Punished


    Su Yingxue was desperate as she rushed in front of Chu Yihan, “Your Highness, now is not the time to talk about crimes. Brother is still in danger, we must rescue him first!”


    “Yingxue, don’t be presumptuous in front of Your Highness. Step down!”


    Su Qingzhi scolded coldly.


    Yingxue felt a stifling sensation in her chest. She had always been informal in front of Chu Yihan, but now, with Su Hao trapped by the enemy, Chu Yihan was being so heartless.


    Yingxue turned and knelt down in front of him, “Your Highness, can’t we rescue Brother first? Do you really want to see something happen to him?”


    Su Hao was her real brother, and Wu Jinyan was still waiting for him in Jiang Du City!


    “Insolence!”


    Chu Yihan looked at her coldly, “Su Yingxue disregards military discipline and is to be confined for ten days immediately. She is not to be released until the military affairs are concluded!”


    With a wave of his hand, amanding officer approached Su Yingxue to escort her away.


    Yingxue refused to go, so she was bound and taken away.<div>


    “Chu Yihan, I must save my brother!”


    Su Yingxue’s voice still echoed in the tent.


    Su Qingzhi’s expression was grim, and he kowtowed deeply, “This humble official has failed to discipline Su Hao properly and to manage my granddaughter. I voluntarily ept the punishment of thirty military canes and to be executed publicly. I hope for Your Highness’s forgiveness.”


    “Go ahead.”


    Chu Yihan didn’t stop him and gave the order, “Summon all themanding officers to witness the execution in person. If anyone dares to put their own interest first and disobey military orders in the future, they will be executed without mercy!”


    “Yes!”


    The atmosphere inside the tent was one of severe military discipline.


    Outside the military tent, Su Qingzhi knelt before themand tent as themanding officers watched the execution. They all felt a pang of pity as they watched him being punished.


    But they also sensed Chu Yihan’s strictness in military discipline, taking Su Hao as a warning to be even more cautious.


    Outside the military tent, the sounds of Su Qingzhi’s punishment echoed.


    Just like a military camp, Su Yingxue, confined inside, could also hear the sounds.


    Mo Qi came to Chu Yihan’s side to report, “Master, the Princess is crying.”


    Chu Yihan’s heart sank. He closed his eyes and when he opened them again, his gaze was sharp as a de, “Deploy ten Shadow Guards to watch her day and night. If she steps one foot out of the tent, Your Highness shall show no mercy.”


    “Yes!”


    Mo Qi ryed the order. Although he knew Chu Yihan was acting out of necessity, he couldn’t help but ask on behalf of Su Yingxue, “Your Highness, what are your ns for rescuing General Su?”


    Su Hao was Chu Yihan’s brother-inw. Even setting aside this familial rtionship, Chu Yihan valued Su Hao as an outstanding general and would certainly not disregard his safety.


    It was only in front of everyone that he needed to show absolute impartiality and fairness without showing any favoritism.


    Chu Yihan stood in front of the sand table, scrutinizing the battle situation, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, “Su Hao has been too reckless this time, falling right into the enemy’s trap. Since the enemy cannot recoup their losses through battle, they will surely kill him in a fit of rage. His situation is extremely perilous.”


    One misstep and Su Hao could be doomed.<div>


    And given his pride and dignity, he would surely prioritize the country’s interests. If he were trapped in a stalemate for too long, he wouldn’t hold out and wouldn’t allow himself to be a bargaining chip in negotiations.


    He would rather die for his country.


    This was something that greatly worried Chu Yihan.


    Chu Yihan had not slept all night. Inbination with the reports, he meticulously went through the entire battle situation.<div>


    Su Qingzhi was severely injured and had to rest in bed for the night. The next day, he first went to visit Su Yingxue.


    Seeing her tied up and behaving, Su Qingzhi was somewhat relieved. He patted her shoulder and instructed her, “Stay here quietly and don’t cause a fuss. Your grandfather and Your Highness will take care of rescuing your brother. You mustn’t add to the chaos!”
