Zhang Chi was taken aback. Prince Lu was clearly unable to escape, so why didn't Du Zhuo capture him but chose to kill him instead?
Zhang Chi quickly walked over to Du Zhuo, about to inquire. When he led troops to attack Prince Lu, the Emperor had instructed that it would be best to capture him alive and escort him to the Capital City for trial.
The Emperor wanted to announce Prince Lu's crimes to the world, letting everyone know the fate of rebels, and also to have Prince Lu confess that the charges in the official documents were fabricated.
This was the method the Emperor favored, using it to humiliate Prince Lu, making Prince Lu's followers regretfully watch as the Emperor trampled him underfoot.
But now…
Zhang Chi watched as Prince Lu fell, blood seeping from his mouth, clearly beyond saving.
Du Zhuo said, "General Zhang, go forward and see if it is indeed Prince Lu."
Zhang Chi set aside his thoughts for the moment and stepped forward.
