Fletcher's Descent into the Abyss Chapter 39

There was a charcoal fire in the hall, making the room warm.

Chenyang has been kneeling for half an hour. Casper Xiao is sitting on the main seat reading the military book. Outside the curtain are kneeling the generals of the Forbidden Army. There is silence inside and outside.

As the saying goes, "Before a general takes action, he must first show his power[1]". Five years ago, when Casper Xiao took over the Imperial Guards, he gave them a show of force, and he wanted the absolute power to command the heroes. In the past five years, he has been clear about rewards and punishments, and has not reduced the silver that should be given to the Imperial Guards by a single cent. Not only has he not reduced the silver, but he has also made up a lot of it. He is generous to his subordinates, but his own cloak was given to him by his eldest sister-in-law three years ago.

Qiu Lie made the Forbidden Army feel proud, and the limelight overshadowed the Eighth Camp, and the scenery was unlimited for a while. These soldiers, who had been waiting in the camp for a long time, used to pretend to be grandsons in front of the Eighth Camp, but now they dare to go out and yell at the Eighth Camp.

This is not a good sign. If you are too proud, you will lose your composure.
