Chapter 728: Busy, getting lower and lower (Part 1)
When he returned to his territory, Xuanyuan Zhi felt that he was truly free. It was only at this time that he suddenly realized that his insistence on staying to observe the punishment seemed to be a wrong decision.
Plans can’t keep up with the change. If something happened while he was observing the execution, Xiao Tianyao broke his promise and wanted to forcibly keep him, there was nothing he could do.
“Suddenly, I realized that being too arrogant is not a good thing.” Xuanyuan Zhi seriously reflected on himself.
Wasn’t the unwarranted disaster he experienced this time because of his self-confidence and arrogance?
He thought that with his identity as the first prince of the central empire, he could walk freely in the four countries’ territory, but he didn’t expect to kick the iron plate.
“What the eldest prince said is wrong, it is eastern who is too arrogant. Although their Jinwuwei Army is powerful, they are not comparable to us. Showing their strength in front of us is undoubtedly playing a big sword in front of the gate of Lord Guan.” Now that he left the eastern military camp, the leader of black-armored guards dared to speak his mind.
As for the fear of the Jinwuwei Army, this doesn’t need to be told to Xuanyuan Zhi.
“This prince…” That’s not what he meant!
Halfway through speaking, he found that the leader of the Black Armored Guard was looking at him. Xuanyuan Zhi decisively swallowed what he wanted to say and changed the topic: “The four of you have a good talk about what you saw and heard in barracks this time.”
Xuanyuan Zhi applauded his wit. At this time, it was necessary to show a profound side. Otherwise, if the leader of the black-armored guards learns that he watched the punishment out of anger, he will report it to his imperial father.
“Yes.” The four black armored guards who went to the military camp to pick up Xuanyuan Zhi were shocked by the Jinwuwei Army’s strict self-discipline and pondered Xiao Tianyao’s style of reward and punishment.
The Jinwuwei Army has strict discipline, high quality, and was not afraid of death. They have seen this when they fought against them before.
It can be said that the Jinwuwei Army surprised them. In the four kingdoms, seeing an army that was not afraid of their murderous aura and dares to fight with them, the black-armored guards were amazed.
However, not because they were amazed doesn’t mean they accept that the Jinwuwei Army was their opponent.
After hearing this, the leader of the black-armored guards was silent for a moment before saying: “They have a lot of room for growth.” There is a lot of room for growth, but they still can’t compare with them.
Xuanyuan Zhi’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t speak.
He didn’t understand that the focus of these men was on Xiao Tianyao’s clear distinction between rewards and punishments, and not on Jinwuwei’s performance and discipline. How did the leader of the black-armored guards see that Jinwuwei Army was strong?
Although, he knew that the evaluation of the leader of the black-armored guards was not wrong, because he saw it with his own eyes, saying that Jinwuwei Army was good because of this, wasn’t it too hasty?
Moreover, just based on what the general said, they believed that it was Xiao Tianyao’s way of reward and punishment. Was it that simple?
It may be true that the soldier will receive forty boards of punishment, or it may be Xiao Tianyao’s gimmick to cover up his subordinates. However, the black-armored guards believed his order just like that. Were the people in the army so stupid?
Xuanyuan Zhi stared blankly at the leader of the black-armored guards, with undisguised suspicion in his eyes.
If it was in the past, the leader of the black-armored guards would just pretend that he didn’t see it. They were directly ordered by the emperor, so they came out with Xuanyuanzhi to do the task. It was only a temporary collaboration. When they returned to the imperial capital, Xuanyuan Zhi will no longer be their boss.
