Feng Qingxiao coldly ignored the few people and allowed them to kneel on the ground. He passed down the order and closely investigated the War God City. All the suspicious people were arrested and interrogated. The news of Yun Zihuang leaving War God City and going to Zhenbei City must have been spread out by a spy from the Northern Region. This matter was not arranged on a temporary basis and had long been premeditated. The people of the northern region should have started planning when they heard that Princess Taiping had followed the army from the northern border.

The barbarians of the northern region did not know about the assassination attempt on Yun Zihuang. This enraged the War God King. The Northern Frontier had started a bloody massacre. The spies of the northern region had suffered heavy losses.

”Push Han Feng and Feng Ding out of the arena.”

Feng Ding had been silent the entire time. Only then did he kowtow and say, ”Thank you for your death, Master.”

Han Feng's heart was full of bitterness, he would rather die tonight in battle than die because he did not protect his princess well. But now, he could only kowtow and acknowledge his master's death.

Yun Zhao's body trembled as he kowtowed heavily to the ground, ”My lord, it is this lowly general who is protecting the princess, this has nothing to do with Han Feng and Feng Ding. Please be merciful and kill Yun Zhao. ”Even if I am to die, I will die lightly. I beg the Lord for mercy.”

As he spoke, he kept kowtowing. His master wanted to execute Han Feng and Feng Dingdang, but he did not say that he would be put to death. The princess had been taken away by him. Now that he thought about it, his crime was the greatest. The fact that his lord didn't execute him made him feel even more terrified. He had come to the northern border with the princess. Although he was the commander of the palace's personal guards, he was also a general under the lord of the northern border. What's more, even the Duke of Dingguo had acknowledged his lord as his master, so what did he count as?

Seeing their lord not saying anything, Han Feng and Feng Ding had already been dragged out by someone with their arms twisted behind their back. He took two steps forward and straightened his back. ”My lord, this general knows that he deserves to die a thousand times for his crimes. I am willing to commit suicide to atone for my sins in front of my lord.”

As he spoke, he reached under his rib cage and pulled out his sword, preparing to slit his throat with it.

”Master …”

A weak female voice came in from outside the door, and she knelt at the doorstep, ”Your servant pays her respects to the lord. The princess humbly requests that you forgive Yun Zhao, Han Feng, Feng Ning and all the rest, allowing them to gain meritorious service.”

Feng Qingxiao's sword-like eyebrows raised, ”What is she doing?”

He then kowtowed and said, ”Reporting to my lord, the princess is currently treating the wounded soldiers tonight. She ordered the servants to report this to my lord.”

The saber blade touched Yun Zhao's neck as he knelt in front of Feng Qingxiao. Upon hearing the words, the saber blade did not cut through his throat as he whispered, ”My Lord, please forgive me for this. Many of our brothers were severely injured tonight, and the princess' physician did not come because of this. Please forgive me.”

”There's no need for you to say anything more about this grandpa and Zi Huang.”

Yun Zhao bowed his head deeply, ”This general has misspoken and deserves to die a thousand deaths.”

”Let them go.”

Han Feng and Feng Ding were both released. They hurriedly turned around and came back. They knelt down and kowtowed, ”Thank you, Lord, for your mercy.”

Yun Zhao's blade was still on his neck as he lowered his head, unsure of what to do.

”Han Feng and Feng Dingdang will be led by 40 military men. They will be sentenced to death for their crimes, and their contributions will be penalized for their crimes.”

The two of them hurriedly kowtowed, ”Thank you for the punishment, Master.”

Feng Qingxiao asked, ”Where is Yun Yin?”

Yun Zhao hastily put away his saber and bowed his head as he said respectfully, ”Yun Yin is severely injured. This general humbly requests that you accept the punishment in his place, and requests the grace of my lord.”

”Yun Zhao, your punishment is eighty, take another forty on behalf of Yun Yin, and gain merits for your crimes.”
