The soldiers were shrewd men. They stood to the side, watching to see how things would unfold and whether they should really drag Gu Gaoxu out for his punishment.
Fifty heavy strikes from the rod would leave a man crippled, if not dead.
Lu Yuan, naturally aware of the severity, stepped forward, clasped his hands, and bowed. "King Yan, I implore you. For the sake of the Crown Prince destroying the Beastman Race's main camp and blowing up their weapons and supplies, please spare him this once."
Lu Yuan felt he had to plead for him. Witnessing this "harmonious" scene between father and son, he couldn't just play deaf and dumb.
Only then did King Yan, Gu Di, notice there were two other people in Gu Gaoxu's tent.
It was Lu Yuan and Su Liyan.
King Yan, Gu Di, hadn't expected Lu Yuan from Taiping City to be here as well.
King Yan, Gu Di, immediately shoved Gu Gaoxu aside and sat down in his seat.
He said to Lu Yuan with a cheerful smile, "Please, sit!"
