If he gave her Xuan's punishment, it would calm down Gan's anger towards his underlings and restore some of the effects of the imperial edict.

It was also the first time that Helian Manqiu had seen Gan Jianxuan angered. Her heart couldn't help but tremble. When this man was angered, his authority was heavy and his killing intent was heavy. Even her heart couldn't help but tremble.

"My lord, this general knows his crimes and is willing to accept any punishment from my lord."

Helian Manqiu lowered her head and kowtowed. She placed her hands on the ground and stared at Gan Zhixuan's toes. How would this great general punish her?

A whipping? Or was it a random beating from a military staff?

In short, she was determined to not kill her because of this incident, so she had the guts to say those words. It was probably because her master was angry on the surface, but his heart was not angry at all.

Gan Zhixuan's face was as calm as water. He stared coldly at Helian Manqiu and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know what crime you should be punished for? It is this grandpa who has been indulging you too much in these past few days, making you forget the proper etiquette? To dare to be disrespectful to the Emperor is the crime of beheading. Now that you're listening to this lord's words, how should you punish yourself for doing such a thing? "

"My lord, this general spoke his mind on the spur of the moment. My lord, please calm your anger. This general is my lord's subordinate, so no matter how you punish me, I do not dare to complain."

"Pa …"

Gan Yuxuan slapped the table again and said coldly, "Do you still dare to complain? If this was spread around by someone, would you still want your life?"

Helian Manqiu suddenly straightened her body and stubbornly straightened her neck as she looked at Gan Shuxuan. "Even if I am going to die, I will be killed by my lord. Others shouldn't think that I would die so easily."

"How dare you! How dare you talk back to me? Slap your own mouth!"

Helian Manqiu curled her lips as she waved her hand to slap down on the beautiful white jade face. Her lips were tightly pursed, and traces of dark red blood seeped out. He raised his hand to wipe off the blood from his lips, then raised his hand again. Another two resounding slaps landed on her delicate face that could be easily broken by the wind.

Zhongda took a step forward and was pulled back by Luan Cheng. If it was only a few slaps to the face, then the Lord's punishment for Helian Manqiu's death would be too light. They should not have made a move.

"Master, do we continue?" "Can you at least fight in other places? This lowly general doesn't have the face to go out and meet someone like you. This lowly general doesn't have the face to see the Lord anymore."

Helian Manqiu looked at Gan Shixuan with a wronged expression. Beating someone up was not about slapping them in the face. It was a vile feudal society!

The crowd looked at Helian Man's delicate and pretty face. Now, with the bruise of her fingers, blood kept seeping out from the corners of their lips. They could not bear to do so. In the end, she was still a child who was only fourteen years old. Her innocent beauty was even more beautiful than the woman's dimples, but at this moment, all of them began to swell up.

Seeing Helian Manqiu's pleading eyes, Gan Jianxuan gave a cold snort: "Would you refuse to accept it if you had to slap yourself?"

"This lowly general accepts it wholeheartedly. The lord's punishment is too light, and this lowly general thanks you for your grace. Otherwise, the main point of the lord's punishment will be whether it's lashing or other crimes."

Helian Manqiu landed heavily on the ground with a loud thud. "This general knows his wrongs and doesn't dare to speak nonsense again. I beg the Lord to calm his anger and forgive me this time."

Seeing Helian Manqiu bow and beg for mercy, the anger in Gongye's heart was slightly quelled. If this boy didn't train a bit, he wouldn't be able to relax.

"Daring to say that the Emperor isn't at ease, then this lord will say that you're the one who's the least at ease. Someone, spread some rubble outside and make him kneel outside."

"Yes."

Luan City was the first to respond. Bowing and withdrawing, he went to the staircase outside the main hall and found some rubble to lay on the ground. He had promised himself that he would look for it, only to find stones and rubble, stones and pebbles spread out at the foot of the steps.

Even though Gan Yuxuan knew this was the case, he still didn't expose it. These people didn't kneel down and plead on behalf of Helian Manqiu; they still had some meaningful looks in their eyes.

"Reporting, sir, everything is ready."

Luan City entered the main hall and bowed its head respectfully, not daring to say a single word.

"After what happened today, I heard that there was a rumor outside, so I told you to hold your head in your hands and come see me!"

"Yes, this lowly general does not dare. This lowly general did not hear anything today. The young general did not say anything."

Gan Yuxuan's underlings held back their laughter and bowed as they spoke. Chen Yuyang and the others also bowed and complied, and Gan Yuxuan waved his hand: "Helian Qingyu, go out and kneel on the ground. Return to the dust, whip the old man twenty times, and give him a ruthless slap!"

"Yes, your subordinate understands."

In a corner, Gui Chen bowed and left the hall.

In the end, she didn't dare to get up and just kneeled down, crawling out of the hall. She remembered that all the people who had been punished were kneeling down and leaving, waiting respectfully for the punishment. Today, he would give this lord a bit of face in front of his old tribe and all the generals of the military region.

Helian Manqiu used her eyes to signal Chen Yu Yang and the others not to plead on her behalf.

After being punished by Jia Yu Xuan today, he was punished to kneel outside the main hall. In the distant courtyard, the subordinates and guards of Gan Yu Xuan were all present.

Why did she have to be the one to use the trick of suffering?

The old wounds on her body, those scars, they hadn't even fallen off yet. Now that she had been whipped for twenty years, it really would have cost her half her life.

With both hands on the ground, he heard Gan Zhixuan's low voice and slightly chilly words from the hall, "Nihl, Lien Qingyu is young and ignorant, his old wounds have not yet healed, he is flogging them through his clothes."

"Yes, your subordinate understands."

Gui Chen walked up to Helian Manqiu and softly said, "Young General, hold it in. I need to move faster. Young General, you can also take less pain."

"Thank you, Lord, for your grace."

Helian Manqiu reluctantly raised her voice and thanked Gump for leaving her a little dignity and for not taking off her clothes.

"Thank you, please!"

When she looked back, she gave a seductive smile. Helian Manqiu made a face at Returning Dust. Her swollen, azure-purple face was slightly distorted, almost causing Returning Dust to laugh out loud.

He lowered his head and approached Helian Manqiu as he said in an extremely low voice, "My Lord has signalled for me to be lenient. I won't injure the young general's muscles and bones. It's just a superficial wound. The young general's screams are louder."

Helian Manqiu rolled her eyes at Gui Chen. "Brother, even if you were more ruthless, you wouldn't be able to hear it from my mouth. Please!"

Gui Chen shook his head. This young general's mouth was quite tough. He didn't know if his delicate body could withstand twenty lashes of lashes. It was most likely that this was the first time in his life that this young general had been punished, and he probably did not know the consequences.

Even though their lord had hinted for them to be merciful, they still had to see blood after twenty lashes. Otherwise, they would lose face. This punishment was for others to see, but not to see red.

"Pa …"

All of the generals of the Army Region in the Great Hall had their heads bowed down deeply, looking at the kneeling Helian Manqiu who was being whipped. All of them wished that they could replace her, but no one dared to speak up under the pressure and authority of Gonggong Xuan.

They had all received a signal from Helian Manqiu and had ordered them not to beg. They had always known that this young general had a deeper meaning to his actions and words, so there must be a deeper meaning to his actions.

Luan City raised its head slightly and glanced at the generals under Gan Yuxuan. Seeing the pity on the generals' faces, it lowered its head as it pulled on Zhong Da, who was beside it, with all its strength. Chen Yu Yang and Ding Ziyang also used their hands to stop the others, silently hinting them not to speak out and plead for mercy.

The gazes of the seven people all fell on the outside of the hall. They saw the whip in Gui Chen's hand raised high, but it didn't land on Helian Manqiu's body. Although a line of blood would seep out from Helian Manqiu's body each time, it didn't hurt her muscles or bones, nor did it hurt her body any more.

It was obvious that Gui Chen had shown mercy. No one dared to show mercy when their lord executed them. It must have been a hint from their lord.

The seven of them secretly let out a sigh of relief. With twenty lashes like this, even Helian Manqiu was only slightly injured. Although the bloody scars on her body were very severe, she would actually be able to recover in a few days by applying medicine.

Helian Manqiu's hands tightly gripped the rubble stone on the ground. She clenched her teeth and pursed her lips. She was unwilling to let out a cry, and even more so, to let out a groan. This level of pain was nothing to her. Back then, when she was receiving her training in the military academy and special military camp, her body wasn't entirely purple, making it difficult for her to fall asleep on that day.

"Young General, just scream a few times, it's fine."

Gui Chen sighed. This young general was really tough. He was much tougher than many of the valiant soldiers he had seen in the army. He didn't even make a sound as he silently endured the pain of being whipped.

Helian Manqiu gritted her teeth and refused to make a single sound. She counted the number of lashes and moved quickly, thus reducing the pain and humiliation during the lashing process.

"Pa …"

The final lash left a trail of blood on Helian Manqiu's body. Her back was covered in dark red whip marks, and the blood that seeped out from her torn skin seeped through her clothes, staining her clothes red.

The snow-white robe was filled with a striking dark red hue. It seemed that the injuries were quite serious.

Helian Manqiu understood that Gui Chen had truly shown mercy. Otherwise, if this expert were to lash out, it would be enough to break her tendons and break her bones.

"Reporting to the lord, the execution is complete. Please give the punishment to the lord."

Gui Chen bowed to the center of the hall and replied. He then asked Helian Manqiu in a low voice, "Young General, do you need me to help you enter?"

"Thanks, no."

Helian Manqiu raised her eyes and met the gaze of Gan Yuxuan, who was staring at her with a slightly murderous look in his eyes. How could she not understand that if she wasn't willing to give him a hint, then he definitely wouldn't dare to show any mercy. Suddenly, the corner of her lips curled up slightly as she revealed a charming smile towards Gan Yuxuan.

Gan Yuxuan's lips twitched a little. This kid's bones were quite hard, and he had the legacy of Helian Shan. Even though he suffered these twenty lashes, he was still able to smile. In the future, he would definitely become one of the most capable generals under his command.

Unfortunately, he was still too young. He had marched into battle and arranged his troops into battle, but he didn't know if his actions were the same as the past few days. He had done shocking things over and over again.

"Young General, if you want to kneel and crawl into the hall, please pass the punishment and thank the Lord for his grace."

Gui Chen softly warned Helian Manqiu beside her. He slowly straightened his body and looked at Helian Manqiu's bloodied back.

Helian Manqiu supported her forehead. This black-hearted, thick-skinned lord wanted her to continue to act as a cripple until the end!

Moving his knees and resting his hands on the ground really hurt. His back was burning with pain. Step by step, she kneeled down in the hall. The moment she entered the hall, she shamelessly kneeled down in the hall and refused to take another step.

Gui Chen silently retreated to the corner. His eyes were deeply fixed on Helian Manqiu. He had not expected that during the execution process, Helian Manqiu would not utter a single word.
