The big tent was silent. Yuwen Yongji sat on the couch, throwing the fish talisman in his palm with one hand, while glancing coldly at Yang Jian and Zhao Zhongqing... Many generals gathered outside the tent, standing around outside the tent, and soldiers kept visiting each other.

Although there was no messy sound of people and horses, the solemnity was even more terrifying and desperate under the cold wind.

Many generals outside the tent may have respect for the two commanders, but under the intentional vigilance of King Chen and others, they could not move. The words of pleading came to their mouths, but they swallowed quietly, and could not say a word.

The general is finished!

This thought arose in everyone's mind.

Not only Zhao Zhongqing was finished, but Yang Jian was finished... When they looked over quietly, they saw Yang Jian buried his head on the ground, which was quite calm, but his stiff limbs betrayed his inner thoughts at this moment.

Zhao Zhongqing was even more unbearable. As soon as he heard Yuwen Yong's voice, his mind was blank. When he saw the emperor's true face, he felt like he was hit by lightning.

It was Yang Jian who pulled him down in time, so he did not have another charge of "the king's misconduct"... But are you still afraid of this one? At this sensitive period, if you say such words in front of the emperor, how can you be a death sentence?

"My, me..."

Zhao Zhongqing shivered slightly, and his mind was still blank. He looked up several times and wanted to apologize to the emperor, but he was stuck on the word "member" and could not say anything. He saw sweat on his forehead, but he just couldn't kneel down.

Yuwen Yong waited for a while, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "Say, if I want to settle the score later, how are you two going to do?"

Zhao Zhongqing became even more frightened and could not get up. Yuwen Yong glanced at Yang Jian again and pointed at him and said, "He refused to say it, then you can say it."

Yang Jian sighed and said for a while: "What else can I do? Your Majesty entrusted us to eliminate Duan Xiaoxian and cross Puban. We failed to achieve our goal, but instead asked them to burn their baggage. Every piece of it is a crime that will never be redeemed for death.

"It shouldn't be... I criticized Zhao Zhongqing behind his back and said something that harmed his ministers' rituals. I dare not defend myself and had nothing to say. Please punish Your Majesty."

After saying that, he took off his armor, put down his weapons, and then fell to the ground again. As expected, he looked like he was letting his hair fall... Many people in the tent sighed in their hearts, not understanding that Yang Jian was making trouble.

Just now, they heard the two of them clearly outside the tent. Zhao Zhongqing's words were obviously bewitching, and Yang Jian did not say anything rebellious, no matter what he thought in his heart.

If it were them, they would have pushed Zhao Zhongqing out of the way and left him cleared himself early... Not to mention, they were so stupid that they stood up and shared the responsibility with Zhao Zhongqing. They had fulfilled their loyalty, but what's the use of losing their heads?

Hasn't the dead fellow Taoist not dead ever been a way of survival in the officialdom? Everyone either sneered or sighed, and reacted in a mixed manner, but Sima Yingnan looked at Yang Jian with scrutiny, thinking about something.

Yang Jian's face was still calm, thinking that he was ready to die. Yuwen Yong's eyes were still sharp, and he shaved like a knife on him. After a while, he asked coldly again:

"You have made up your mind and feel that I have just been defeated. In order to avoid shaking the morale of the army, I will never dare to give you here...so, I dare to be so confident, right?"

"I might as well tell you that Yuwen Sheng had been beheaded by me before the formation. You... are the next one!"

Yuwen Yong pulled out his sword from his waist and put it on Yang Jian's neck, and instantly wiped out a blood mark.

Yuwen Yong's sword was placed on his neck, but his expression was calm and calm. Everyone close to him knew that the more angry the emperor was and the more violent the emperor was, the calmer the expression was, like an undercurrent hidden under the calm water surface, and there was a wave of storms rolling up at some point!

His sword has not been cut off. The emperor is still waiting for Yang Jian's answer. If it matches the emperor's wishes, he will be safe. If he answers wrongly, Yang Jian will fall to the ground in the next moment.

Yang Jian said nothing, explained nothing, just closed his eyes and waited for death. Yuwen Yong frowned and shouted sternly: "I ask you, why don't you say anything? Could it be that you really want to die?"

"My life and death are all based on Your Majesty's wishes. How can I reversal?" Yang Jian immediately bowed and leaned down again, "No matter whether Your Majesty wants me to live or die, I will only obey. How can I defend myself?"

"You have a good way of governing the army. I have been going all the way, and I have seen that you are rigorous in governing the army here and have no harm... If the former subordinates of the God Ju were in the camp, I would have been cut into meat paste ten steps away from the camp." Yuwen Yong didn't know why he mentioned this.

"My soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are your ministers, who doesn't know the power of Your Majesty? Who dares to stop him?" Yang Jian said: "Besides, I can only talk about military affairs on paper, and I have to rely on Zhao Zhongqing to manage the army."

"Are you exonerating him?"

"No, I just talk about the matter."

Yuwen Yong's face cleared a little, he moved the sword away from Yang Jian's neck, and pressed it against his shoulder,

"What you said is nice. I often don't understand whether you are a loyal or a traitor... Since you are loyal and courageous, then I ask you, I have ordered you to draw troops south again and again, why don't you follow?"

"They will be outside, and the king will not accept any orders."

"Aren't you resisting the order? Previously... Didn't you say that you were loyal?" Yuwen Yong sneered.

Yang Jian said seriously: "Your Majesty is not in Huayin. I don't know that my friends are already extremely struggling to prevent Duan Shao. If they divide their troops, they may not have to wait for the battle in Tongguan. They will directly let Duan Shao enter Chang'an. At that time, I will not be able to bear the consequences!"

"In this way, you are not just rebellious, but you are more caring?"

"I have also lost consecutive battles and lost no results, and I dare not praise me for my merits. I may be incompetent, but I dare to swear to heaven, and I have no other intentions!" Yang Jian's face was firm, Yuwen Yong looked at Yang Jian with scrutiny, pointed at Zhao Zhongqing and said:

"I understand. Actually, I have heard your conversation outside just now. You are probably innocent, but he is clearly rebellious and rebellious. You are the commander of the first army. I have given you the power to deal with him. How should you send him over?"

"According to military law, it is a serious crime to be unfavorable in the battle formation. It is a crime to be criticized as a death sentence and should be executed."

"It makes sense, then kill him!"

Yuwen Yong waved his hand, and several soldiers came forward to grab Zhao Zhongqing's collar and prepared to drag it out to behead... Yang Jian didn't say a word, as if he was not squinting. He didn't dare to look up because Yuwen Yong said to be beheading Zhao Zhongqing, but his eyes were staring at Yang Jian's neck!

Yuwen Yong stared at him for a long time, and he stopped until Zhao Zhongqing had been dragged to the door:

"——Wait, although this guy is crazy, he is young and energetic because of his father's military achievements. Besides, he kills the generals in front of the formation and loses his morale. I will forgive him once, and I will not be the case... But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living penalty cannot be escaped. I will be punished with 60 scepters!"

He looked at Yang Jian again and said in a low voice: "You are the commander of the first army. If you have made a big mistake, you have great responsibility. He has a 60-odd stick. How much should you stick?" Yang Jian immediately replied: "What does your Majesty say, that's how much!"

"You are sixty, too."

"I received the order!" Yang Jian was dragged down, but he quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

I'm afraid only he himself knows how dangerous the confrontation of words was.

Yuwen Yong's words are true and false, false, and true, showing the emperor's enchantment... It seems unintentional, but actually contains great murderous intent. He constantly tests Yang Jian's reaction and tries to find out Yang Jian's true intentions. Yang Jian's responsibilities are just right, and he cannot deviate from Yuwen Yong's intentions, so he can barely save his life!

Although the military power has been taken away, at least Isn’t it?

After being punished in front of the entire army, Yang Jian and the others had to limp back to thank them. Sima Xiaonan happened to come towards him, greeted them with a smile, and said some unfinished words.

Zhao Zhongqing was impatient to say more to him. Yang Jian also had something to worry about, so he didn't want to say more. He had to deal with a few words and was about to leave. However, Sima Xiaonan's next sentence taught him to stay in place.

"I only know today that Sui Gong has such a skill and his future is promising!"

Yang Jian looked back and saw that, whether it was Zhao Zhongqing or Sima Xiaonan, he felt a sharp murderous intent coming to his face... Sima Xiaonan paused and stood in awkwardly.

He didn't know what he was afraid of, but the moment Yang Jian turned around, he felt instinctively afraid. It was like... it was like being looked back by a fierce and vicious wolf who ate people!

Yang Jian had a humble smile on his face, and he shook his head and said to himself: "Mr. Sima, don't laugh at me. I can save my life today. I am already grateful to His Majesty. What else can I ask for?"

In the blink of an eye, he looked humble and polite again, as if the wolves had never appeared before. Sima Xiaonan watched them leave, and only felt his scalp numb...
