Princess Xuan not only had superb medical skills, but also had extraordinary courage. What was even more rare was that she was also compassionate and kind to her subordinates.

Cao Xun was grateful for Zhao Ling's kindness in taking the initiative to heal his injuries and her care for her subordinates. 

At this time, Zhao Ling never imagined that the act of healing Cao Xun this time would be exchanged for his loyalty to her in the future.

Wen Renyuan saw Cao Xun's arrow wound just now, and said with a worried expression: "The strength of this arrow from General He Liancheng was truly powerful. Indeed, he is not to be underestimated."

"Hmph, there might be power behind the arrow, but this old man just accidentally fell on its path." Cao Xun was not successful in his face off with the Heidi warriors, and was injured by an arrow from He Liancheng. 

The corner of Zhao Ling's mouth twitched, secretly laughing, the bearded general's expression of anger was quite interesting.

The four of them were chatting about the military deployment of Jinyang Pass, when suddenly one of them participated in the future report outside the gate.

"Reporting to General Qi, then Ma Shizu shouted loudly in the prison and said malicious words, saying that he must see General Yao Wentao."

When Cao Xun heard this, his face full of black beards immediately became darker.

Ma Shizu, in less than a year since he came to Jinyang Pass as a lieutenant general, has done nothing to achieve anything except eating, drinking, and enjoying himself.

Thinking that he was just relying on the backbone of the eldest prince and Yao Chong, he came here to exercise on a temporary basis, and he could go back to the capital in a month or so, and he didn't bother to care about him.

But this time, Ma Shizu was obviously not so lucky.

Yun Yi sneered, shook his head, and said contemptuously: "This Ma Shizu, can't wait to be beheaded so badly? He's already in a dungeon, and he's still so uneasy, that he wants to show his presence in front of us. It's really hopeless."

Wen Renyuan also had a look of disgust. He was upright and honest, and naturally looked down on people like Ma Shizu who were greedy for life and had fear of death.

For a moment, the three of them turned their attention to Zhao Ling.

Zhao Ling's face was as usual, and he said in a flat tone. "Those who disturb the heart of the army, beheaded, those who fled in battle, beheaded, no matter who said what, this Ma Shizu must die."

Killing Ma Shizu in front of all the soldiers at Jinyang Pass was the aim of Zhao Ling's purpose of tying the three of them to Jinyang Pass.

She wanted to use Ma Shizu to kill the chickens among the warriors, as an example, so that all the soldiers could see clearly, this was the end of being a deserter.

Wen Renyuan and Yun Yi naturally had no objection to Zhao Ling's decision. People like Ma Shizu should have died long ago.

Only Cao Xun said worriedly. "But Yao Wentao's side..."

After all, his backbone was the eldest prince. If they were to do this first and then explain later, if they angered His Royal Highness King Luo, he was really not sure what the consequences would be.

However, Zhao Ling just replied lightly. "General Cao just dealt with it according to military law. It was only natural and righteous, and Yao Wentao has nothing to say if he wants to come here."

Ma Shizu never imagined that his noise, which was originally meant to remind Yao Wentao to rescue him from this eerie dungeon as soon as possible, would accelerate the rhythm of his beheading.

In the early morning of the second day, the sky was only bright, and in the dim and vast Jinyangguan campus, the three armies lined up, hunting banners and flags, and with solemn looks.

Ma Shizu and his two entourage were tied up with five flowers and fell to their knees. The two entourages drooped their heads, their faces ashen, only Ma Shizu was still struggling, shouting "Brother-in-law, save me!"

But Yao Wentao was still sleeping soundly in his room, how could he hear his cry for help?

Following Cao Xun's order, a few cold lights flashed, and blood spattered in an instant.

Seeing this scene, although the guards in Jinyang Guan were frightened, they were more delighted.

Ma Shizu, the shameless villain who was greedy for life and fear of death, finally had met his end today.

When Yao Wentao arrived in a hurry after receiving the news, he saw Ma Shizu's bloody head rolled to his feet, his eyes wide open, staring at him fiercely, as if complaining about why he didn't rescue him in time.

Yao Wentao was shocked by this scene, his eyes darkened as if in a trance, and he passed out on the spot.

After being carried to the room by his subordinates, Yao Wentao woke up several minutes later. He was exceedingly furious and his body trembled when he remembered the terrifying scene just now. He grabbed a celadon tea cup on the table and threw it to the ground.

"Attend to me." A low growl gritted his teeth.

A middle-aged man in strong armour flashed through the door, bowed to Yao Wentao and said, "Yes, general?"

With a gloomy face, Yao Wentao handed him a yellow envelope, and said in a calm tone, "Take this over there, remember not to let anyone find out."

"Yes." The man in the strong armour took the letter and quietly retreated after taking orders.

The people of Xuan Wang's mansion actually didn't take him seriously, did they? They should just wait and see. Soon, he would give them a fatal blow. He must make them pay the price for this matter.

Yao Wentao's slender peach blossom eyes flashed a vicious light.
