Yun Fei then opened his eyes and looked at Tie Gang Ying: "How should I punish you?"

Cold sweat oozed out of Tie Gang Ying's back as he listened to the question. It was obviously cool in the morning, but he could not help but break out in cold sweat. He kneeled down and crawled a few steps forward, arriving in front of Yunfei Peak. He kowtowed, and heavily kowtowed, landing in front of Yunfei Peak's toes.

"Please forgive the others and this general's wife and son. This general will let you handle me as you wish. Please grant me this favor."

He kept banging his head.

Yun Fei laughed: "Heh … I've never seen you so respectful to this marshal before. "

"This lowly general deserves to die a thousand times for his crimes. I plead for the handsome lord's grace, bang bang bang …"

Tie Gang Ying's forehead was also covered with cold sweat as he kowtowed incessantly. He did not know whether he would be able to gain the kindness from the handsome lord for the sake of his wife, his children, and the soldiers under him. At this point, other than kowtowing and begging, what else could he do?

Yun Fei Feng reached out and grabbed his shoulder, stopping him from kowtowing. He quickly straightened his back and knelt in front of the handsome lord with his head lowered, not moving an inch.

Yun Fei laughed again as he grabbed Tie Gang Ying's arm, wanting to help him up. Tie Gang Ying was a bit confused, 'Handsome Lord, what do you mean by this?'

"Stand up, don't let me waste my strength. I haven't completely healed the wound on my arm."

Tie Gangying hurriedly raised his hand to support Yun Fei's arm, "Yes, please take care of yourself."

Yun Fei Feng didn't retract his arm, but still allowed Tie Gang Ying to support him. He said with a smile, "Your wounds are too heavy, I don't know when you'll be able to recover. If you want to assassinate this marshal, this is the best opportunity."

"Plop …"

Hearing this, the moment he stood up, he immediately dropped to his knees and knelt down, making a muffled sound. He carefully placed Yun Fei's arm on the chair's arm, and just as he was about to say something, he heard Yun Fei laughed.

"Fine, I was just joking, you're being serious. Quickly get up, don't wait for me to support you, go and bring Zhou Tuoyi over."

"Understood."

He did not dare to ask any more questions and bowed before retreating. Quickly, he brought Zhou Tuoyi over and brought the former Crown Prince to kneel in front of Yun Fei.

Zhou Tuoyi was tied up with his mouth shut. He did not want to kneel down. He was originally a monarch and a crown prince, and Yun Fei Feng was going to kneel to him. But now, he had fallen to his knees in the name of a prisoner, in the presence of his former subject. His heart was filled with humiliation and unwillingness, but even more so hatred and regret. He regretted killing the heavily injured Marquis, and instead let him go.

"Take down the cloth."

Tie Gang Ying took out the cloth that had been stuffed into Zhou Tuoyi's mouth. Thinking that it would be inappropriate to stay here, he bowed and said, "Commander, I will take my leave."

"No need."

"As you command."

Zhou Tuoyi stared fiercely at Tie Gangying, then at the Cloud Sky Peak. For a moment, he was unable to say anything as he stood up while twisting his body.

"Plop …"

He felt a sharp pain in the crook of his leg. Just as he stood up, he was kicked by Tie Gang Ying. He was caught off guard and kneeled down heavily on the ground, causing his knees to be in great pain. He turned his head to glare at Tie Gangying in anger, "How dare you, Tie Gangying! How dare you kick my ass! You don't want your head anymore, do you?"

Tie Gangying cast a mocking gaze at him before lowering his hands to stand respectfully by the side.

"Heh …"

Yun Fei who was sitting on top laughed: "What do you think your current status is?"

"You … Marquis Yong, your daughter was originally the princess consort of this hall, yet you dare to betray me? "

"Your highness, the Crown Prince, should not forget who it was that harmed me, Yun Fei, with my severe injuries."

"You were accidentally injured. How are you going to talk to me about this?"

Zhou Tuoyi looked away guiltily. He did not dare to look at Yun Fei's face and eyes, so he stood up again. Before he could straighten his legs, a sharp pain came from the crook of his legs. He kneeled down heavily with his knees and legs bent painfully. He shouted angrily, "Tie Gang Ying, you deserve to die!"

This time, Tie Gangying did not even spare him a glance. Did he really think he was still the crown prince because the former crown prince did not know his place?

"Well done."

Yun Fei smiled and praised Tie Gang Ying, he immediately cupped his fist and bowed: "Thank you, handsome master for your praise."

"You all … Don't forget about my identity! "

"It seems like you still want to think it through. Since that's the case, Gangying, stop him from talking and hang him on the big tree outside. Go and think about it."

"You dare!" Zhou Tuoxi was extremely terrified, screaming at the top of his lungs.

"This lowly general obeys."

Without a word, Tie Gangying grabbed the torn cloth and stuffed it into Zhou Tuoyi's mouth. He wanted to resist, but his arms were tied behind his back. How could he have the power to do so? Even if he wasn't tied up, he had no way to fight back against Tie Gang and Ying.

Carrying the former Crown Prince, he bowed and left. He found a rope and, ignoring Zhou Tuoyi's devouring gaze, hung himself on a tree outside.

Yun Fei closed his eyes again, quietly thinking about things. He didn't go up to the imperial court, nor did he go to see King Jingyuan. Instead, he came here. This was an indication of his attitude. He was giving all his glory and achievements to King Jingyuan. He had even asked Yunhai to hand over the military emblem of the imperial guards to King Jingyuan. Such an attitude should be able to satisfy that prince.

Without any military power, even if he was a valiant marquis, he was still a marquis. He was just a powerless noble in the capital.

The Emperor had always been a sharp knife in his attack on King Jingyuan, not to mention the fact that he had been one of the most influential officials of the Emperor for many years!

He could even reject this Marquis.

Yun Hai returned quickly and stood by the door whispering, "Master Hou, your subordinate has returned."

"Mm, come in."

Yun Hai looked coldly at Zhou Tuoyi who was hung upside down on the tree and walked in, "Your Royal Highness did not accept the token and ordered your subordinate to bring it back to Your Highness."

"What else did the Prince say?"

"The Prince invites the Marquis to attend the meeting."

"Dang, dang, dang, dang …"

He used his slender fingers to tap on the armrest of his chair, asking Yunhai to send the soldier token over. At the same time, he also sent a message to King Jingyuan, telling him to recuperate from his illness while the imperial guards followed his orders. He did not speak for a long time. Then he closed his eyes and pondered. He had originally wanted to use this opportunity to hand over the military power and retreat. This way, it would show that he had no ambition and was willing to submit to King Jingyuan.

What was the purpose of King Jingyuan not allowing him to withdraw?

With 200,000 elite soldiers in the northern border and the authority of the imperial guards, with this prince's illustrious reputation in the Tian Yuan Kingdom, he would be able to achieve greatness that no one could stop when he ascended the throne. Now that this prince wasn't willing to take over his military authority, he had no choice but to think things through.

"The prince has arrived."

Someone shouted loudly. Yun Feifeng immediately opened his eyes and stood up, and quickly walked out. Earlier, he had been invited to go over to discuss some matters, but now he had come over himself. His heart couldn't help but feel heavy.
