"Please calm your anger, Crown Prince. This is all due to my poor arrangements. I beg for your punishment; Zhang Jun has yet to return. In my view, he likely failed to succeed and dared not send word back. Coupled with the impact of the Beast Tide, communication has been severed for two months. I implore you to let me send men immediately to Tieshi City to supervise. If Zhang Jun has fled to escape punishment, I will immediately ask you to grant me the death penalty!" The official kneeling on the floor hurriedly begged for mercy. To anyone who recognized him, it was clear this was General Huaihua of the third rank of the Crown Prince’s mansion, Zhang Li, the older brother of Zhang Jun.
"You want to die? It isn't that simple! Tomorrow, you will take men there yourself and bring Zhang Jun back to me. No, no, it doesn't matter if he returns or not; the key is that you must bring back the head of the Sixth Prince! If you cannot bring it back, none of you need to bother returning. From this moment on, everyone in your residence is confined; you needn't return home either, unless you bring back his head!" Crown Prince Hua Tianli said, his face twisted in a sinister expression.
"Yes, Crown Prince! Your subordinate will set off for Tieshi City at once and will not fail your mission!" General Huaihua Zhang Li, who had been kneeling the entire time, finally trembled as he stood up, lowered his head, and prepared to back out of the Crown Prince’s study.
