Originally, he hadn't finished his work yet, but after the accident today, he was worried about her going back alone, not to mention that she suddenly became pregnant.
Wanruo nodded while holding the hot tea.
Soon, Wang Zhi hurried in, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, sir."
"Have you deployed your troops here at the colorful tent today?" he asked.
Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment: "We have arranged a team of 800 soldiers to ambush nearby."
"Then how do we respond to the dozens of rioters who rushed in?"
Xie Xianyu's voice was calm, without any ups or downs, but his aura was intimidating without even being angry, and already had a subtle sense of oppression.
Wang Zhi suddenly felt a chill on his back and said quickly: "Maybe it was an oversight..."
Xie Xianyu stared at him. "I was making these arrangements a month ago, and now you're telling me about some omissions?"
Wang Zhi's scalp tingled. He looked up and saw Xie Wanruo sitting next to him. In an instant, everything became unclear.
He immediately knelt on one knee, clasped his fists, and said, "It is my fault."
"Who's leading the team?"
"Yes, it's Zhao Chong."
"Send him over."
"yes."
Wang Zhi immediately sent someone to call Zhao Chong over.
Zhao Chong was a dark and thin young man. As soon as he came in, he felt that the atmosphere was not right and saluted cautiously with his fists clasped.
"Are you in charge of the ambush at the colorful tent today?" Xie Xianyu stared at him with his pierced eyes, his aura of oppression.
Zhao Chong immediately knelt down: "Yes."
"Then why didn't I see any imperial guards here when I rushed over?"
Zhao Chong trembled as he spoke: "I, I will lead the troops to ambush and kill the rebels who rushed over, and then go to support the dragon boat and protect the prince..."
Wang Zhi kicked him directly and said, "I told you to lie in ambush here so that you could guard this side. Why are you acting on your own? Are you afraid that you won't be able to grab the first credit? Twenty remnants of the army rushed in here and almost killed Madam Xie!"
Even the most thorough deployment could lead to omissions. Wang Zhi knew that Xie Xianyu was not a person who demanded perfection. As long as the overall situation remained stable, some omissions were acceptable.
But that doesn't mean he can neglect his wife! She's more important than the crown prince!
Wang Zhi was so disappointed with his son that he never expected him to bring up such a self-willed idiot.
Zhao Chong was kicked to the ground and knelt down hurriedly: "It is my fault for failing in my duty. Your Excellency will punish me."
Xie Xianyu's eyes were icy. "Disobeying military orders and acting on your own initiative will result in fifty strokes of the cane and expulsion from the Imperial Guards."
Zhao Chong's face turned pale in an instant. He was a rough man, and being paralyzed for half a month after being beaten with fifty sticks was nothing, but being expelled from the Imperial Guards would make him a real cripple from then on.
Zhao Chong quickly knelt and kowtowed, "My Lord, I failed in my duty, but I was not greedy for merit or reckless, nor did I disobey orders. I asked General Zhu if we should pursue the remaining troops, and General Zhu said the Crown Prince was the most important. So I led my troops to protect the dragon boats. I beg you to forgive me this time. Even if you have to punish me with a hundred strokes of the cane, please do not expel me from the Imperial Guard."
Xie Xianyu's eyes glared, "Who did you ask for instructions?"
Zhao Chong was so frightened that he was trembling and unable to speak.
Wang Zhi kicked him and said, "Why don't you explain yourself quickly? Aren't you waiting to be kicked out and beg for food?"
Zhao Chong then hurriedly replied, "It was General Zhu Jiazhu. Without instructions from above, I would not dare to act on my own."
