Chapter 215 - Desolate Liangzhou (Part Fifteen)
In the main tent of the Northern Qiang army, Wang Yuepi reclined on a soft couch, propping his head up with one hand. The firelight flickered across his face, making his expression inscrutable.
The subordinate generals who had accompanied him stood silently below the dais with their heads bowed, not daring to make a sound. In the center of the tent was a white cloth draped over the vague outline of a person.
Wang Yuepi hummed softly, sitting up slightly. "So just two men... slaughtered your general right in front of my twenty thousand strong cavalry..."
His eyes moved slowly, sweeping across the generals below. Each one he looked at involuntarily trembled, a testament to Wang Yuepi’s harsh discipline.
Wang Yuepi rubbed his face with a large hand and said, "Were those two men immortals that descended from the heavens or something?"
The generals below exchanged glances. Nobody was willing to speak first.
Bang!
Wang Yuepi slammed his hand on the armrest, producing a loud noise. He glared furiously and roared, "Speak! Up!"
The generals flinched in fear. The one closest to Wang Yuepi gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and said, "Commander Bear, I heard reports from our men... that the two seemed to possess unmatched courage, charging into our ranks with no one able to stop them..."
"No one was able to stop them? Murong Buguan, it seems you’ve lost your nerve!" Wang Yuepi sneered, baring a set of menacing white teeth. "By that account, if those two wanted to storm our camp, could they just take my head as they pleased?"
"No!" Murong Buguan’s face changed drastically. "That was not my intention!" he hurriedly refuted.
