"Wang… come inside…" Jin Yu is calling his eunuch to come inside the tent.
"yes, your highness…" Eunuch Wang can see his master is in deep anger and the room is messed up due to his anger.
"Get Zhang and the eagle troops to guard the barrack. Gather all the troops in this barrack. I want to see if they can see properly or not. How can she escape the barrack so easily when I already told everyone to keep eyes on her? Does my word not bear any weight? Am I not the Emperor of this country?" Jin Yu is giving out his wrath to his eunuch who straight away kneels down to the floor. Eunuch Wang is going out quickly and rely on his order to everyone.
Every troop are forming a line in front of the royal tent. Ni Cheng and Wang Bo are in the front of the line. They are talking to each other to find out about this sudden drill. The Emperor is walking out from his tent with his dragon robe and immerse his dark aura. Everyone is getting scared of his condition at the moment.
"I want you to pick up the sandbag and put it on your back before start to run around the barrack and start to practice your martial art," Jin Yu is giving out his command. Everyone looks at each other in confusion as physical practice normally in the morning and now it is already dark almost time for their meal and rest time.
"Your highness… we are finished the physical practice in the morning. It is almost time for dinner and rest," Ni Sheng is reporting to his emperor.
"No food or water until I say so and I will directly supervise all your training," He said while he sat down on the chair prepares by Eunuch Wang. General Lin is helping Zhang to guard the Barack gate as he understands the reason behind the anger of the emperor.
The troops are doing their practice until almost morning. They all are really exhausted from the practice, but their emperor is watching their practice with his cold demeanour. No one dares to disobey their emperor order. There are some soldiers who pass out due to exhaustion and some of them cry on the practice due to physical exhaustion. Their general Lin Yue never punishes them as harsh as the emperor at the moment, and they want to know his reason to get punished as hard as this.
Ni Qing and Lin Yue successfully do their mission and ride back to their barrack when it's morning time. They arrive at the barrack to see all the troop is doing the practice of martial art with the heavy sack on their back. Everyone is having an exhausted face and they see her with an angry stare. She is looking at the emperor on the stage with a dark and angry expression. Ni Qing can see some of them already pass out and carries to the tent for first aid. Ni Sheng and Wang Bo are looking at her to pacify the emperor.
Ni Qing is turning her body around and wants to walk away from the barrack. She realizes all of this start because of her.
"Stop her… if you fail to stop her, I will massacre all of you and your family," Jin Yu gives out his order when everyone rushes to her and drags her to the stage. The troops are hungry, tired and the most important is thirsty. They are not allowed to get any water during the punishment time while they can see the emperor is drinking water. Everyone can understand their emperor reputation for being ruthless and black belly's. it is only because Ni Qing is defying his order and the whole camp need to suffer his wrath the whole night.
"Why? Why all of you do not help me?" Ni Qing screams to release herself from the grasp of Ni Sheng and Wang Bo.
"Because of you, we suffer the whole night. Please…. If you do not want to bury your own brother," Ni Sheng is begging to her and drags her to the stage.
"I am not doing anything wrong… I am doing the mission to Bai Lan country. Why I always get the blame?" Ni Qing still pretends to become the victim. She is in her last wit because of her behaviour. She did not think about the consequences of her action will bring all the troops to suffer.
"all of your practical start from now is dependent on her behaviour. If she runs away again, you all will suffer twice of today punishment. If she defies my royal order, your salaries and food ransom to your family will be forfeit. If you dare to revolt because of unfairness on this order, by all mean I will hunt your family one by one and kill them. I do not need people who do not listen to my order as their emperor," Jin Yu told them with his cold voice which makes them shudder to the thought of his order.
