Chapter 1596

After he finished speaking, he left the underground city without even looking back. His white cloak fluttered behind him, making him look like a general.

Everyone was shocked by his aura and no one could say anything.

Tuoba Zheng flew into a rage. If it wasn't for his personal guards holding onto him, he would have charged out to fight Chu Shao Yang.

"Royal Prince, please calm your anger! He is King Chu and the commander in chief. You are only a vice general, you can't afford to offend him! "

A person that looked like a strategist came out and tried to persuade him.

"Strategist Pang, why are you here?" Tuoba Zheng took a few deep breaths and slowly calmed down, but his face was still filled with a fierce expression.

He said in a hateful voice, "What a good Chu Shao Yang. He dares to be a spy, so why would this royal prince be afraid of him! I'll immediately write a letter to royal father. I'll definitely capture this spy and behead him! "

That strategist Pang quickly said, "Royal Prince, think about it carefully. Actually, what King Chu said is not without reason. Although you have great military merits, great martial arts, and are familiar with the art of war, the emperor has never placed you in an important position. Even when he sent the army to the west, he only made you a vice general and gave the command of the army to King Chu. This means that in the emperor's heart, the person he trusts more is King Chu. If you write a letter to the emperor now, I'm afraid it will have the opposite effect and make the emperor angry."

Tuoba Zheng angrily said, "Could it be that this prince will just let it go like this! I am a dignified prince, being humiliated by a traitor like this … … "

"Shh, royal prince, be quiet. He is now the King Chu that the emperor has personally bestowed upon him and he has military power, so you must be lenient with your words. If you are caught, the one who will suffer is the royal prince."

Tuoba Zheng was so angry that he almost spat out blood. He lowered his voice and angrily said, "This prince is clearly royal father's son, but in royal father's eyes, I am not even as good as a traitor that just surrendered! Now this prince is wondering if this Chu Shao Yang is royal father's son or if this royal prince is! "

That strategist Pang said, "Royal Prince, have you forgotten? The emperor often says that those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. He also says that we should win the world with benevolence, rule the world with virtue, and stabilize the world with propriety. These words show that the emperor does not like killing and does not like massacring cities. Royal Prince, you have never been placed in an important position because of this. Although that King Chu was rude, what he said might be what the emperor is thinking. He released the West Chu captives and gave the order not to harm a single citizen in the city. How do you know that wasn't done by the emperor?"

Tuoba Zheng immediately stopped struggling and stared blankly at Strategist Pang. "You mean that my father doesn't like me because I'm too murderous?"

Strategist Pang said, "This is just my conjecture after hearing King Chu's words."

"But there is some truth to your words. Ever since I asked royal father for merit after massacring the city, royal father's expression has not been good. Not only did he not reward me, he even reprimanded me a few times. I originally thought that someone was speaking ill of this prince behind his back, but now that I think about it, it turns out to be like this!"

Tuoba Zheng thought back to his royal father's attitude towards him over the years and couldn't help feeling enlightened.
