Blue Jade Baby felt a little wronged now. To be honest, he was really wronged in this matter. He didn't know that this horse had an owner, and he didn't know that the owner was the King of Wei, Zhu Zhen.
"If you don't know, then who knows? Do I know?”
Xu Da was furious as he looked at the other party and berated.
"Father…"
Seeing this, Xu Miaoyun immediately stepped forward.
"Father, perhaps General Blue Jade really doesn't know about this. His Highness the King of Wei was not here, right? He just needed to find the person who bribed him. When the time came, he would know the truth.”
Xu Miaoyun said to Xu Da.
"Yes, Great General, find someone and ask them clearly.”
Zhu Di echoed.
"I know who that person is. It's the leader of the camp guards.”
Zhu Zhen said.
"Cao Chen, right? Someone, get Cao Chen here.”
Xu Da nodded and immediately ordered people to capture Cao Chen.
Not long after, Cao Chen was brought to the scene. At this moment, Cao Chen was still in a daze. When he arrived at the scene and saw Xu Da and Lan Yu kneeling there, he immediately had a bad feeling.
When Cao Chen saw Zhu Zhen, he was shocked. In the next second, he fell to his knees in front of Xu Da.
"Great General, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. This subordinate knows my sins.”
The moment Cao Chen saw Zhu Zhen, he subconsciously thought that Xu Da had found out that he had let Zhu Zhen in. Immediately, he said in horror.
Seeing Cao Chen like this, Xu Da's face turned ashen.
"In that case, the person who deceived His Highness the King of Wei was really you?”
"What? Deceive the King of Wei?"
However, Cao Chen's expression changed instantly when he heard Xu Da. He looked at Xu Da in confusion, his eyes filled with shock.
Then, as if he had suddenly understood something, Cao Chen looked at Zhu Zhen.
At this moment, Zhu Zhen was also looking at him. Seeing that he was looking at him, Zhu Zhen smiled slightly and extended his hand to greet him.
"He, he, he is His Highness the King of Wei?”
"It's me, General. Do you still remember me?”
Zhu Zhen asked with an evil smile.
"Um…"
This time, Cao Chen fainted from fear. He never dreamed that his greed would actually deceive the King of Wei. Although he did not know who the King of Wei was, he could not afford to offend someone with the word 'king'. For a moment, his entire body went soft.
"Great General, please spare me, please spare me. I, I, I didn't know that he was His Highness the King of Wei…Great General, please spare me.”
Cao Chen kowtowed like pounding garlic. He instantly knew that he was going to die. Xu Da was a selfless person. This time, he was really courting death by lighting a lamp in the latrine pit.
"Bastard, this is an important military area, and a great war is imminent. You actually want to take advantage of it. Accepting bribes is simply disregarding military discipline.”
"Men, drag this Cao Chen away and punish him with military law. In addition, all the soldiers on duty today will be beaten with fifty sticks.”
Xu Da was furious. It was obvious that Cao Chen was the one who did all this. Zhu Zhen was not lying.
" Great General, please spare my life! Great General, please spare my life! General Blue Jade, save me! Save me!"
When Cao Chen heard this, he was greatly shocked. He looked at Lan Yu and even attempted to let Lan Yu save him.
"Bastard, who allowed you to do this? You're simply throwing away my face.”
Lan Yu was very angry at this moment. Looking at the other party, she wished she could go up and finish him off right now. Although this matter had nothing to do with him, the other party was his subordinate after all. Moreover, in front of so many people, this undoubtedly made his dignity fall.
"Great General, I really didn't know about this. When he sent the horses over, he didn't say that he had cheated them. I was also deceived by him.”
Lan Yu looked at Xu Da and said to him.
"Hmph, since that's the case, he's also your subordinate. Even if you don't know, you can't escape the blame for not being strict with your subordinates.”
"Lan Yu, this general will punish you with fifty military lashes.”
Xu Da's expression was ugly as he looked at Lan Yu and said. It was very obvious that Blue Jade was involved in this matter.
"Father, you can't. Lan Yu is the vanguard that you hand-picked. Now that the expedition to the north of the desert is imminent, with these fifty military lashes, I'm afraid that Lan Yu won't be able to go to the battlefield with you anymore.”
Hearing this, Xu Miaoyun's expression immediately changed.
For this expedition to Mobei, Zhu Yuanzhang had given Xu Da a total of 150,000 troops, led by Xu Da, Feng Sheng, and Li Wenzhong respectively. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang had also given special permission for the three generals to choose their own vanguard officers.
The Vanguard Official that Xu Da had chosen this time was Blue Jade. Therefore, Blue Jade was very important to Xu Da. Now that the expedition was about to begin, if he were to be beaten 50 times, it was obvious that Lan Yu would not be able to continue following him out.
Therefore, Xu Miaoyun immediately tried to dissuade her father.
"Please reconsider, Great General!"
When everyone saw this, they immediately begged Xu Da to forgive Lan Yu.
Lan Yu's expression was incomparably ugly. He had not expected things to turn out like this. However, this was also his fault. He usually indulged his subordinates too much, causing them to have no regard for military discipline.
Regarding this expedition, Blue Jade placed great importance on it. This was the best opportunity to make a name for himself. Many people were desperate for a position. If he really did not succeed this time, then he would really lose a lot of face. He would also lose such a big opportunity.
"Great General, why don't we first remember General Blue Jade's mistake and wait for him to go into battle to make up for it?”
Zhu Di also came out to smooth things over at this time.
When Xu Da heard this, he hesitated for a moment. Of course, he did not want to hit Lan Yu. However, Lan Yu had indeed made a mistake. She had not been strict with her subordinates and such a thing had happened. The most important thing was that this matter also involved Zhu Zhen, this prince.
Xu Da looked at Zhu Zhen. It was obvious that he wanted Zhu Zhen to come out and say something.
"Your Highness, Lan Yu was indeed at fault, but the war is more important now. Can you remember his mistake first?”
Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Zhen and said.
"That's right, eighth brother, don't lose a great deal for a small gain. General Blue Jade is also confused, why don't we just forget about it.”
Zhu Di also looked at Zhu Zhen and said, making Zhu Zhen turn a big matter into a small matter.
In an instant, everyone looked at Zhu Zhen, waiting for him to say something.
