Han Shaobai thought he had finally grasped a lifeline, but the outcome was not what he expected. As he was shouting for Tian Ling to administer justice, the veteran general asked a single question. "Why was your deputy executed?"
Han Shaobai dodged the question and offered all sorts of excuses, but Tian Ling wasn't having it. He relentlessly focused on the core of the issue. He refused to believe that the Supreme Martial Commander was petty enough to execute a comrade-in-arms over a few insignificant words, as Han Shaobai claimed.
Han Shaobai was left speechless. That's right, why was he executed? The law was clear: The punishment for insulting the Supreme Martial Commander is death!
In the end, the Patrol and Arrest Team arrived and took away the Peerage King, the man who believed he would soon become the new War God of the State.
