Ancestors. Wenchang sighs, and catching hold of Dewang, looks around. Better if as few people as possible notice the administrator in his weak moment. Coming to a decision, Wenchang leads the drunken man to his own quarters.
Safely inside the tent, Wenchang makes Dewang drink down an entire jug of water a cup at a time, and then he makes his friend face him.
"I will not pretend to be anything other than angry with this affair Dewang. Yes, they were rebels. Yes, I would like to see them defeated. But not in this way. This is a cruel, cowardly and dishonourable way of handling it!" Wenchang realises he is almost shouting, and lowers his voice, trying to stay calm. "We should be better than this. The army has mustered, and I don't think I have to spell out the reason for it to you.
"Yet I'm more disappointed in you my friend. For all your flaws, I would not have thought you would be a party to this. Your sorcery is incredible, and put to good use, a force to reckon with. That you would use your gifts in such a way... It is disheartening, to say the least.
"I know what you meant to say. You wanted the rebels gone, and did not think what Junyou's "shortcut" would entail. Now that you do understand, perhaps you will be less eager to lend your aid to such plans in the future, yes?" Wenchang stops as he catches sight of Dewang's face. He exhales. "Alright. I'm going to patrol the camp. Sleep here if you wish to tonight. No one need see you in this state." Wenchang gets up and leaves. The ride would allow him to both look out for trouble and clear his head, which he is desperately in need of since witnessing Bei Ye.
