"..."

They came over and scolded Bai Liezhao harshly, making him swear.

Bai Liezhao just sat there quietly without saying a word, which made everyone feel very suffocated.

Afterwards, General Murong frowned and said, "This man must be killed. He cannot be left alive."

"...This makes me so angry. They actually did such a shameful thing. I didn't expect that the Bai family was so afraid of death and shameless..."

"Are all the people in the Bai family like this?!"

"No wonder you came back even though you had a broken leg. It turned out to be for your elder brother and your younger brother!"

They mocked Bai Liezhao, "You are such a good brother and a good brother!"

"Should the whole world be proud of you?! For the sake of your brother and younger brother, you don't care about the lives of all of us, right?!"

"Fuck you, you're a genius!"

"Execute! Must execute!"

They all said to General Shi: "Don't think you can keep him just because he is from the Bai family!"

"The Bai family is nothing but a bunch of merchants! Just businessmen! They must be killed!"

"Merchants really value profit over separation..."

"Why are all of you businessmen so mean? People say that you businessmen are all very shrewd. You are indeed very shrewd. You actually use us to scheme against us!!!"

"Okay, okay, I'll kill you right now, and then we'll see how you'll plan in the future!!"

As they spoke, the generals drew their swords and were about to stab Bai Liezhao through and kill him.

However, at this moment, General Shi said hurriedly: "Wait a minute, don't kill him yet!"

As he spoke, he frowned and spoke to several generals.

"I'm not defending him, but the situation is really special."

As he spoke, he looked around and then analyzed calmly.

"He has indeed committed an unforgivable crime. If he were an ordinary person, I would have punished him by military law. However, Bai Liezhao is not an ordinary man! He is a descendant of the Bai family, and his mother is Zhao Bingyu."

"That... Miss Zhao, was kind-hearted... When she was still alive, there were wars everywhere on the border. She donated 300,000 dan of rice from the Bai family to our soldiers and fed them! A total of 300,000 people survived because of this kindness!"

"When we take action against him, we must consider the face of Madam Zhao and the original wife of the Bai family!"

"?"

"Just by his mother?!"

The generals below couldn't help but sneer, "He has a mother, but don't those soldiers have mothers?!"

"Those soldiers have no food, what do they eat!"

"They are dead! How can we explain this to their mothers, their fathers, and their relatives?"

"You can't just protect him like this just because of who his mother is!!"

"His mother is his mother, and he is him. How can they be the same?"

However, even though they said so, everyone's tone was a little weaker.

They all couldn't help but remain silent.

Few people knew about this matter, only a few generals in the army knew about it.

Only after being reminded did they remember.

Then General Shi continued, "But this is not the point. The point is... their Bai family is very prominent and is the number one merchant in the world! Moreover, the Bai family has a queen, so they are related to the emperor."

"If we kill such a special person on the spot, do you think the Emperor and the Empress will be able to save their face?!"

"Won't we and our brothers be the ones who will suffer when the time comes?!"

"The brothers below don't have much money or rewards to gain, so the battle we are fighting... is meaningless."

"The most important thing is - if we kill him, what if the Emperor and Empress punish us and think we are rebelling by killing him first and asking for his approval later?!"

"This has been a taboo for military strategists since ancient times!"

Hearing his words, everyone's face changed drastically.

They said hesitantly, "...Can we?"

"Would Your Majesty think so?"

General Shi laughed, "Of course he doesn't think so. If he were an ordinary person, we could kill him at will, but he is not an ordinary person."

"If we have such a name, do you think... we can escape?"

"We really do act first and ask for permission later!"

"In short, his identity is special. If he is to be killed, it should be left to His Majesty and the Queen. The Emperor and the Queen are his relatives!"

Several generals said angrily: "What if we don't get our revenge? Your Majesty and the Queen are protecting him. Are we going to watch this kid live?"

They pointed at Bai Liezhao in frustration, wishing they could hack him a few times.

General Shi smiled at this time and said to everyone.

"Of course this kid won't be alive, but... we can just put pressure on the emperor when the time comes."

"How could the Queen and the Emperor let him live if they knew he had caused such a big mess?!"

"Even if he is allowed to live, the price would be worse than death."

"Anyway... this kid is finished from now on."

"No matter what, we can't take action. The reason why most of our generals were suspected by His Majesty in the end was because they were too impulsive and did things without rules."

He learned this from the civil officials and he feels it makes sense.

Everyone looked at each other and felt that General Shi was well-educated and had read some books, so what he said must be right.

Finally, everyone chose to believe him, "Then let's not kill this guy for now."

"This kid is so despicable! He can escape the death penalty but he can't escape the punishment of living! He should drink some of our urine first!"

As they said this, they stepped forward and wanted to beat him up.

However, at this time, General Zhou hurriedly stopped them and said.

"If you hit him now, the Queen will know that we fought. Although she won't say anything on the surface, she will secretly trip you up. What should we do?!"

"After all, the Queen is your Majesty's bedmate. Bedmates are prone to gossip, as you all know!"

"Do not impulse!"

After hearing this, they stopped their mouths and feet.

They all frowned and looked at Bai Liezhao. For a moment, several generals even blushed in the face.

They said angrily: "Then can't we do anything to this kid?"

"He poisoned so many people, but nothing happened to him. Can't we do anything to him???"
