Su Yingxue said, “That’s right! My brother is indeed a member of the Black Cloud Cavalry. However, the selection process for the Black Cloud Cavalry is rigorous. Even as a candidate, one must have a clean family background and be highly skilled in martial arts. Wu Hongtao’s two sons have never been well-known, so how could they suddenly be selected as candidates for the Black Cloud Cavalry?”

“Is it a stroke of luck for the Wu family?”

“Your brother.” Zi Wei’s hoarse voice pierced Su Yingxue like a needle.

Su Yingxue suddenly understood and said, “So, my brother has his way to handle this.”

While Wu Hongtao’s trial had not begun yet, Su Yingxue was currently being detained in the Capital Prefecture. Su Yingxue was fully occupied with managing the medical clinic when suddenly she heard some commotion on the street.

She asked Zhilan to go out and see what was happening.

After Zhilan went out to inquire, she came back with excitement, “Miss, after you finish attending to the patient, you should personally go and take a look. Don’t forget to inform Miss Jinyan.”

Zhilan winked, leaving her in suspense.

Su Yingxue thought to herself that this girl had been getting more creative lately.

She had just finished seeing a patient. After she wrote the prescription, she went to the neighboring room to see Wu Jinyan.

Wu Jinyan was sitting on the bed, lost in thought, with her brows tightly furrowed.

Su Yingxue helped her up, saying, “Zhilan mentioned that there’s something lively happening on the street. Sister, let’s go and see.”

Wu Jinyan continued to frown. “I’m not interested.”

“Since it’s a lively event, it wouldn’t hurt to take a look,” Su Yingxue said as she supported Wu Jinyan and walked to the window, opening it.

Wu Jinyan was initially feeling down, but when she saw Su Hao riding on a horse on the street, her eyes widened in surprise. “How could he…”

She saw Su Hao not only riding a horse but also holding two ropes with two people tied behind him.

They were her brothers, Wu Lang and Wu Ping, the two sons of Madam Wu.

Wu Jinyan was taken aback. “What’s happening?”

Su Yingxue explained, “Your two brothers were supposed to be candidates for the Black Cloud Cavalry, but they committed a serious offense, which is why your brother is punishing them like this.”

The Black Cloud Cavalry was the most formidable troop in the Great Cheng Dynasty. Even someone as skilled as Su Hao was just a captain, highlighting how stringent their requirements were.

Clearly, the two young masters of the Minister’s Estate were elated to be selected as candidates for the Black Cloud Cavalry, unaware of the hardships they would face. Su Hao punished them legitimately for their mistake.

Su Yingxue remembered that this was not the first time.

In her memories from her previous life, Chu Yihan had once captured ten deserters from the Black Cloud Cavalry, dragging them around the city with his fast horse and killing three of them.

At that time, Chu Yihan earned a reputation for being ruthless and merciless, not realizing that as elite soldiers of the country, they could not afford any errors. Otherwise, when the country faced danger and needed their intervention, they might defect or prove incompetent, causing the dynasty’s last line of defense to crumble, leading to the fall of the Kingdom and bringing untold disasters.

Consequently, the Great Cheng Dynasty had exceptionally high standards for its military.

Su Hao’s move was truly ingenious.

The Wu family could never have imagined that not only would they fail to attain honor, but they would also lose their standing and reputation.

Su Yingxue and Wu Jinyan observed from upstairs. Su Hao was dragging Wu Lang and Wu Ping, shouting, “As members of the Black Cloud Cavalry, you betrayed us halfway. You deserve to be punished!”

Wu Lang and Wu Ping appeared spineless as Su Hao dragged them, crying and begging for mercy all the way. They wished they could kneel and plead with Su Hao to spare them.

Su Hao led them through the streets, and the people looked at them with disdain..
