Mutiny

Shangguan Ru had arrived at just the right time. Shortly after her arrival, the Court Attendants Army closed the camp and forbade anyone else from entering. The senior generals at the frontline were brought back while the two hundred thousand cavalrymen remained in place.

"King Riyao wants to keep the Court Attendants Army all to himself so he won't let the other lords enter the camp and take part in the selection of the new Commandant. Azheba and others are trying to work another way out," said Liman, who was frequently coming and going from the tent as a message carrier.

Shangguan Ru had only brought a few people with her as she had also come to watch the war. When she heard of the great misfortune, she had hurried here as fast as she could. "The Commandant is a good person," she said. She was probably the only guest who was sad about it.
