Feng Yao brought up hot tea, and Xiao Rongyan tapped the table beside him with his finger, signaling Feng Yao to set it down.
Xiao Rongyan was not angry with General Song. On the contrary, he signaled Yue Shi to stop talking, merely looking at General Song and shaking the hem of his garment, saying, "Since General Song is so loyal to His Majesty, you must be able to think of a way to achieve the best of both worlds. Otherwise... how can it be said to be wholehearted and unreserved loyalty to His Majesty, right... General Song!"
General Song, feeling choked by Xiao Rongyan's words, was about to retort, but his throat seemed to be clutched when he met Xiao Rongyan's gaze.
Xiao Rongyan's fingers tapped the table casually: "Then... I'll give General Song the time of an incense stick. If you can't think of anything, you'll be punished with fifty military sticks, which is considered lenient for General Song!"
