Ashina Zhuxie remained expressionless, only lowering his head.
It was Lady Jiayuan, standing behind Shali Khan, who cast a cold glance at him, her eyes flashing with a harsh glint.
At this moment, the door of the tent was pushed open again, and a low groan was heard. The crowd turned their heads to see General Pasha, who had just returned from defeat the day before, slowly walking in. His face was deathly pale, his forehead covered in sweat, and with every step, his face twitched as if enduring great pain.
Eventually, he made his way to the center of the King's Tent, where he fell to the ground and bowed to Ashina Shali: "Khan."
As soon as he bowed, Prince Yiasu, standing beside him, caught sight of his back.
His broad, solid back was crisscrossed with bloody whip marks, some areas even with flesh torn open, a horrifying sight. Prince Yiasu widened his eyes in shock and immediately said, "General Pasha—what's happened?"
Pasha lowered his head and said nothing.
