For the first time in Jing Kingdom's history, a minister was punched and a Hanlin Academician kicked in full public view, yet the many Jing Kingdom officials who should have stepped forward to stop it remained motionless.
Many looked at Gu Mingzhou with disgust and indifference.
The soldiers on the battlefield made even less effort to conceal their contempt and disdain, for they understood better than anyone that every additional enemy Fang Yun killed might mean another life saved. He had already saved thousands upon thousands of soldiers.
Liu Shan pondered for a moment and was about to speak when Fang Yun opened his eyes and said, "Army Protector General Zhang Poyue committed an assault here. His punishment shall be one year's forfeited salary, and he shall redeem his crime through meritorious service by guarding the frontier for three years. Minister of Personnel Gu Mingzhou disrupted the entire army and is suspected of colluding with the Rebel Species inside and outside our lines. Seize him and imprison him immediately, pending interrogation after the battle!"
"You dare!" Gu Mingzhou immediately scrambled to his feet and glared at Fang Yun.
The two Demon Kings beside Fang Yun lunged at Gu Mingzhou. He was about to unleash his Lip Spear and Tongue Sword when a host of Lip Spears and Tongue Swords were already pressed against his neck.
"Prime Minister Liu, save me!" Tears streamed down Gu Mingzhou's face like rain, his expression wretched.
Liu Shan snorted coldly. "Void Sage Fang, although Minister Gu was at fault, he merely spoke nonsense out of ignorance of military affairs. Being punched and kicked by Zhang Poyue was already an extremely severe punishment. Why go so far as to arrest and imprison him? I believe he has learned his lesson. Let the matter rest."
"Seize him!"
