"Just execute that ignorant Scholar!" The Grand General once again suggested.
This time the generals supported him. Their words were almost in unison. "Execute Yan Liang, execute that ignorant Scholar!"
Amidst the clamour, the Duke watched Prime Minister Cao and his two children silently, waiting to see what kind of reaction the old man would show.
Duke knows that the Prime Minister is against him recruiting Yan Liang. Will he unite, demean himself by supporting the Grand General's opinion?
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister stroked his long beard as usual. Cao Mengde was in the ranks of the generals not reacting, waiting for his father's orders.
Cao Ling slowly approached her father. The long sleeves of his robe became an outlet to cover his lips that were so close to the Prime Minister's ears. This way, no one could read his lips movement.
"What about it, father? The Grand General will surely push Duke to sentence Yan Liang to death."
