In front of the Commander's Tent!
Seeing that Yu Haoran couldn't remember him, Li Quanqing quickly reminded him, "Prince Consort, have you forgotten that I was behind the Li Family Patriarch at the engagement ceremony?"
"Oh!"
After hearing Li Quanqing's reminder, Yu Haoran immediately revealed a look of realization.
"So it's you!"
In fact, the look of realization just now was just an act. He didn't know who Li Quanqing was at all.
Because there were hundreds of guests at the engagement ceremony, and there were more than ten people who were about to reach the Martial Venerable Realm.
In addition, there were the Family Patriarchs of the Four Great Families of Xianyang City, the Family Patriarchs of the Seven Great Families, and Qin Tianze, the Crown Prince.
Who would pay attention to a general behind the Family Patriarch?
Nodding, Yu Haoran looked at Li Quanqing as if he knew him. Then, he stepped into the Commander's Tent.
"Greetings, Prince Consort!"
After Yu Haoran stepped into the Commander's Tent, the ten armored generals in the tent immediately saluted him.
Yu Haoran glanced at the ten armored generals one by one. Then, from the way they saluted and the expressions on their faces, he roughly understood everyone's attitude.
The result was quite good!
Other than Li Quanqing and Lin Yuanxiang, who respected him at the beginning, six of the remaining ten generals knelt on one knee.
This attitude showed that subconsciously, they still took him, the Prince Consort, seriously.
"Get up, all of you!" Yu Haoran said calmly.
Then, he continued to walk toward the Tiger Skin Tent that belonged to the Great General.
"Wait!"
When he was less than two meters away from the Tiger Skin Tent, a voice suddenly stopped him from behind.
Stopping and turning around, Yu Haoran looked at the person who stopped him. A cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Who are you?"
"My surname is Han, and my name is Guangbei. I'm from the Han Family of Fengyang City." Facing Yu Haoran's interrogation, a middle-aged general in green armor with a dignified appearance introduced himself.
"Never heard of you!"
After Yu Haoran expressed his opinion, he turned around and was about to continue walking towards the Tiger Marching Army. However, Han Guangbei, whose face was slightly red, immediately shouted.
"Stop!"
Seeing Yu Haoran turn around, Han Guangbei questioned with a slightly gloomy expression.
"Prince Consort, do you know what this Tiger and Dragon Military Couch represents?"
"I know!"
Yu Haoran nodded and said with an indifferent attitude.
"It's an exclusive position for the Great General of the Northern Brigade."
"Since Prince Consort Ma knows that the Tiger Skin Military Couch represents the position of the Great General, then why do you still dare to sit on it? Are you not afraid of violating the military rules?" Han GuangBei asked with a cold smile.
"Oh!"
After hearing Han Guangbei's threat, Yu Haoran immediately asked in an expectant tone.
"General Han, then I wonder which military rule this prince consort has broken, and what kind of punishment will I receive?"
If he wanted to smoothly take over the army on the left, he needed to completely suppress the twelve generals in front of him.
If he wanted to completely suppress these generals, he needed to use thunderous methods to suppress the troublemakers who dared to question him.
And Han Guangjun, who had taken the initiative to pick out, was the target he wanted to suppress. He was the chicken that needed to be slaughtered and then shown to the remaining eleven monkeys.
"Overstepping. The lightest punishment is fifty rods. The heaviest punishment is beheading!" Han Guangbei said with a murderous aura.
"General Han, since this prince consort has violated the most serious military rule, then I wonder if I will be beheaded or punished with rods?" Faced with Han Guangbei's murderous threat, Yu Haoran did not care at all.
Han Guangbei glanced at the other generals in the tent. When he wanted to join forces with them to put pressure on Yu Haoran, he found that only Ji Qingyu and the other two had a tempted expression in their eyes.
As for Li Quanqing, Lin Yuanxiang, and the rest of the eight, they either lowered their heads in silence, avoided eye contact, or looked on coldly. They were not willing to put pressure on Han Guangbei at all.
"A bunch of trash!"
Seeing that Li Quanqing and the others were unwilling, or rather, did not dare to step forward, Han Guangbei disdainfully mocked them. He then took a deep breath and spoke with a serious expression.
"Although the prince consort has a noble status, our great Emperor Qin Kingdom emphasizes that everyone is equal before the law. If you follow the prince and violate the law, you will be punished the same as a commoner.
"Thus, since the prince consort has violated the military rule, he should be punished with fifty rods!"
Hearing that Han Guangbei had the audacity to directly set the punishment that Yu Haoran had to endure, not to mention Li Quanqing and the other generals who had planned to stay out of the matter, even Ji Qingyu and the others who had planned to cooperate with Han Guangbei couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.
"I accept the punishment of fifty rods!"
However, to the surprise of the generals present, Yu Haoran did not fly into a rage when faced with Han Guangbei's punishment. Instead, he nodded in agreement.
"General Han, do you want to enforce the military rule now, or do you want to wait for me to speak before doing so?" Yu Haoran asked with a light smile.
"Prince consort, as a member of the imperial family, you have the right to request for a sentence reduction from His Majesty. Do you not plan on using it?" Han Guangbei, who had also been dazed by Yu Haoran's straightforward acceptance of the punishment, reminded him with a somewhat panicked expression.
This was because Yu Haoran's actions that did not follow common sense had completely disrupted his plans, causing him to immediately fall into a dilemma.
Of the twelve generals, the reason why Han Guangbei had taken the lead to make trouble for Yu Haoran was mainly because of the prince consort's identity, which posed the greatest threat to him.
Ever since Great General Gu Yue went missing, and the one with the greatest prestige and strength, Huang Qingling, fell into a coma, Han Guangbei became the one with the highest cultivation, the strongest strength, and the greatest prestige among the twelve generals of the left army.
If it weren't for the fact that the power behind him was inferior to Li Quanqing and Ji Qingyu, he would have already smoothly replaced Huang Qingling and become the true controller of the northern army.
If he could successfully break through the Four Symbols Concentration Formation and flatten the Four Symbols Sect, then he could possibly rise to the heavens in a single step and directly be promoted to the position of Great General of the northern army.
He had secretly instigated the conflict between Li Quanqing and Ji Qingyu in the hopes of exhausting the power behind the two through internal strife, so that he could smoothly ascend to the position at the most crucial moment.
However, Yu Haoran's sudden arrival had caused a deviation in his carefully planned scheme.
After all, Yu Haoran was the son-in-law that the Qin Emperor valued the most. He also had the ability to be a Pill Dao and Array Dao Grandmaster. Not only did Yu Haoran have a higher reputation than him, but the power behind him was also stronger.
Therefore, he wanted to use the military rule to show Yu Haoran his power and let him know that the identity of the prince consort was not useful in the northern army.
