After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

There was a moment of dead silence in the military camp.

No one seemed to have expected that Xiao Jinzhi would directly kill Liu Zikui because of this incident.

Many people quietly looked at Xiao Jinzhi's expression, and when they saw that he didn't look like he was joking or making false threats, the atmosphere suddenly became more serious.

Liu Zikui looked at Xiao Jinzhi in surprise, and after coming to his senses, he hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Your Highness, the general is just confused for a moment. Please forgive me. The general is willing to be punished, but no matter what, you can't just chop off the head of the general!"

"It is a serious crime to be passive and lazy in fighting, to escape before the battle, and to disturb the morale of the army. What's more, how could I know that you are so timid and lazy, not because you are connected with the bandits on the mountain." Xiao Jinzhi looked at Liu Zikui coldly.

The latter was so frightened by this look that he had colluded with bandits... He could never afford to be charged with such a crime!

"Your Highness, the last general has nothing to do with the bandits. The last general is just, just..."

Liu Zikui wanted to say that he was following the emperor's orders, but he quickly stopped when he reached his lips.If such words were spoken, even if His Highness the Crown Prince did not kill him, the Emperor would never spare him. Even if he had a hundred, a thousand heads, they would not be enough to chop him off.

"Just what?" Xiao Jinzhi looked at Liu Zikui who was speechless, "General Liu looks like I can't make up any reason even if I think about it. Someone, come and take Liu Zikui..."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Liu Zikui interrupted Xiao Jinzhi eagerly, "If you conclude that the general is colluding with the bandits just because the general is slacking off, then there is definitely not only the general in this military camp, but also General Zhang. I also deliberately slacked off, and..."

"Presumptuous." Xiao Jinzhi interrupted Liu Zikui, frowned and said, "Are you trying to deliberately bite your colleagues?"

Zhang Wu's face was already gloomy, and he looked at Liu Zikui with extremely displeased eyes. Damn it, he was trying to drag him into trouble.

only……

Zhang Wu looked at Xiao Jinzhi, wondering how could His Highness the Crown Prince be so kind to speak for him.

"Your Highness, what the general said is true, and there is absolutely no intention to bite." Liu Zikui said quickly.

In this situation, he no longer cares about the relationship between his colleagues. After all, if his head is really chopped off, what will happen next.

If the matter doesn't get bigger and more people are involved, His Royal Highness might actually have someone drag him down and chop him down!
"You said Zhang Wu was slacking off in surrendering the bandits, do you have any evidence?" Xiao Jinzhi looked at Zhang Wu and said meaningfully, "After all, General Zhang did not run away from the battlefield like you."

"Your Highness, I believe that I am wholeheartedly following His Highness's orders and have never thought of being passive and lazy in fighting. Liu Zikui's remarks are purely slander. I hope Your Highness will understand clearly." Zhang Wu raised his hand and spoke.

"You are obviously delaying and neglecting on purpose, you..."

"General Liu!" Zhang Wu looked at Liu Zikui coldly, "You have to think more clearly when you speak and bite at will. Not only will you not be able to save your own life, but you will also harm your family."

There was a clear hint of threat in the words. Many people present could not help but look at Zhang Wu when they heard these words.

Although the latter knew that what he said was inappropriate, he was really afraid that Liu Zikui would be emotional and hot-headed and say something that he shouldn't say at once, so he could only use such words to beat the threat.

Liu Zikui looked at Zhang Wu and naturally understood what he meant.He subconsciously wanted to refute that although Zhang Wu was of higher rank than him, why could he be so threatening?But before he could say anything, when he met Zhang Wu's meaningful gaze, he suddenly couldn't help but shudder.

Zhang Wu is indeed not qualified to take action against his family, but what if he is the emperor?

For a moment, all Liu Zikui's words were stuck in his throat. He stared at Zhang Wu in confusion for a while, and finally he could only turn his head again, kowtow to Xiao Jinzhi and beg for mercy. "Your Highness, the general is in the wrong this time. I beg your highness to give the general a chance to atone for his sins. The general will definitely lead his men to quell the bandits!"

"There is really no credibility in general Liu's words about pacifying the bandits." Xiao Jinzhi's eyes revealed a hint of mockery, "I don't think there is any need to waste this time, or..."

"Ten days, no, seven days! Please give His Majesty the Crown Prince seven days to the general. The general will definitely find a way to capture the stronghold!" Liu Zikui said hurriedly.

Naturally, he didn't have the slightest confidence, but for him, it would be good to gain a few days under the current circumstances.

Xiao Jinzhi's gaze fell deeply on Liu Zikui, like a sharp blade hanging above his head, making him afraid to even breathe.

After a while, Xiao Jinzhi finally spoke.

"Yes, but Gu can only give you three days. If you can capture the stronghold and atone for your sins within three days, or make a great contribution, Gu can consider resigning. But General Liu must remember that this is not the place after all. Imperial City, and Gu is the prince after all, no matter who you rely on, it’s best to figure out what to do in this world.”

Liu Zikui looked at Xiao Jinzhi blankly, how could this be possible in three days?
However, thinking that he would not be dragged down immediately, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I will obey your order!"

Zhang Wu, who was standing aside, frowned quickly, realizing that Xiao Jinzhi's words were simply a slap in the face.

Xiao Jinzhi turned and looked at the soldiers present with sharp eyes.

"Today, I can give you a chance and spare you for the time being, but please remember that you are soldiers of Tianyi Kingdom, not someone's private soldiers. If there are any deserters in the future, regardless of whether they obey the commander's orders or not, , they are all treated as deserters and severely punished."

The soldiers kneeling on the ground responded quickly one by one, and those standing around couldn't help but feel a tension in their hearts.

Xiao Jinzhi glanced at the deputy general who had just reported Liu Zikui, and asked, "What's your name?"

"Reporting to His Royal Highness, the last general's name is Wang Qi."

"I remember you. You can be regarded as a meritorious whistleblower. When the bandit suppression is over, you will be rewarded based on your merits."

"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince!" Wang Qi said quickly, but there was still a trace of hesitation in his expression, and he subconsciously looked at Liu Zikui out of the corner of his eye.

"From now on, you no longer have to stay under Liu Zikui, and if someone retaliates because of what you just said..." Xiao Jinzhi paused and looked at Liu Zikui, "I will not spare him."

"I won't dare," Liu Zikui said quickly.

After hearing this, Wang Qi was completely relieved and quickly accepted the order.

After everyone dispersed, Qin Li followed Xiao Jinzhi towards the camp.

"Your Highness, although Liu Zikui will do his best to save his life, it is not that easy to break through the stronghold relying on his ability."

Xiao Jinzhi stopped and looked at the camp not far away, with a deep light flashing in his eyes.

After a moment, he slowly spoke: "Lonely nature has never counted on him." (End of chapter)
