At this moment, everyone in the hall was looking at Helian Manqiu with a different look. There was an additional sense of admiration and pity; there was no longer the usual hostility and contempt they had towards her.

"General Helian Qingyu, the Lord please come to test your punishment. Thank you for not killing me."

Helian Manqiu lowered her head and prostrated on the ground. She raised her voice and spoke while looking at the veins on the stone floor in boredom.

"Go out and kneel."

"Thank you, Lord, for your grace."

Helian Manqiu curled her lips. To be punished, one had to thank this man. Today's matter had come to an end.

He crawled out of the hall and knelt on the rubble at the foot of the stairs. Just as he placed his hands on the ground to support himself, he heard a voice from inside the hall, "Kneel straight for me!"

"Yes, this general obeys."

Helian Manqiu helplessly straightened her body. With her hands supporting her on the ground, she could even bear part of the pain and weight. Now that she was forced to kneel here, this man was truly stingy.

She did not understand. Gan Zhixuan had made her kneel outside the hall, not to make things difficult for her, but to let everyone who passed by see the bruises and bruises on her face. He knew that her punishment was not only a punishment for whipping.

All of a sudden, Helian Manqiu thought of the noble Prince Chen who had been left by her in the living room at the back of the house as a song to the wine. She wondered when he would forgive her and spare her from kneeling and letting her go.

All the generals were silent. They lowered their heads and respectfully stood on both sides, waiting for Gongye Xuan's order.

After an hour had passed, he finally raised his head to look outside the hall. He saw that the young and elegant youth had raised his head to look at the long, white clouds in the sky.

The expression in her clear, glass-like eyes was bright and misty. No one knew what she was thinking, but she was still searching for the white clouds in the sky. Her elegance did not seem to belong to this turbid world.

Suddenly, the heart that was willing to give up was touched by something. It had a feeling of not being able to hold on. One day, would this peerlessly talented youth leave him?

As he thought of this, Gan Zhi's eyes became dark, and the murderous aura around his body became even stronger.

Initially, Chen Yuyang and the others wanted to plead for leniency, but they first gave Helian Manqiu the opportunity to bandage their wounds and then came back to kneel. Seeing the confused look on Gan Zhixuan's face, they secretly exchanged glances with each other and hesitated.

"My lord, Young General Helian has not yet recovered from his injuries. Now that the lord has bestowed punishment upon him, I implore the lord to be magnanimous and send him to bandage his wounds before coming back to kneel in front of the hall to beg for forgiveness."

The other generals also bowed and pleaded for mercy. Chen Yu Yang and the rest cupped their fists and bowed to express their gratitude to the generals under Gan Yu Xuan's command. They looked at Gan Yu Xuan with pleading gazes.

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Lord, for your grace."

Chen Yu Yang quickly bowed and thanked him. He then left the hall and personally helped Helian Manqiu up. Luan City then pushed the wheelchair and sent Helian Manqiu back to the back of the house to bandage her wound with medicine.

Helian Manqiu laughed lightly as she bent down to support her arms on her knees. She glanced sideways at Chen Yu Yang and Luan Cheng: "It's nothing, only a few days' worth of injuries. My lord secretly ordered that damned old man to show mercy."

"This lowly general knows that in the future, Qing Yu should be more cautious in his words and actions. Right now, Qing Yu is acting as the military state's garrison general, he should not be as careless as he is normally. "

"I understand."

Chen Yu Yang sighed: "Young General, don't worry, this general has gone through life and death situations, so how could he possibly be unhappy with others because of his promotion? In my heart, the most important thing is the young general's safety. From then on, Young General must not be like this. Otherwise, this lowly general will not have the face to see you underground, even if I were to die. "

"It's fine. The Lord won't kill me."

"Young General, you, what happened to you?"

He ran over anxiously, lowered his head to look at the wounds on Helian Manqiu's body, and asked unhappily, "Brothers, why did you let the Young General be injured?"

"Uncle Yi, it's just a superficial wound. I was rude and offended the Lord. I was punished by the Lord, so I went to find some medicine to bandage my wounds. After I was bandaged, I was still about to go back and kneel outside the hall and apologize to the Lord. "

Helian Manqiu deliberately raised her voice as she spoke. Her small face was twisted as if she was enduring an excruciating pain. Her expression was gloomy and unclear as she watched Duke Chen slowly walk out from the living room, the man who called himself Huang Bi Hen.

"Qing Yu has been punished. I have some good medicine, use it."

Prince Chen indicated to him, and one of his servants immediately took out a bag of medicine and a porcelain bottle, handing it over to him.

"This is the best medicine and jade muscle ointment. Qing Yu, first go and treat your injuries."

"Thank you brother for waiting here for a long time, I, Qing Yu, will apologize to you another day. I will go down to treat you first, if you have anything to do, please return first, I will visit you another day to apologize."

"Qingyu, no need to be so polite. Qingyu will be punished today, and I will come again tomorrow to visit you."

Chen Yu Yang and Luan Cheng slightly raised their eyebrows. Who was this seemingly noble young master, how could he dare to call himself 'grandpa' in front of the young general? The two of them had never seen anything representing their status on King Chen.

Chen Wang glanced at Chen Yu Yang and Luan Cheng and wanted to say something, but ended up smiling faintly. He reached out his hand and patted Helian Manqiu on the shoulder before leaving through the back door.

"Young General, please treat your wounds first."

When Lu Keyu heard the news, he rushed over and pushed Helian Manqiu into the room to bandage her wounds. Slightly reprimanding, he asked, "Qingyu, for what reason is the Lord punishing her?"

"I slandered the Emperor behind his back and spoke rudely. I have shown mercy by punishing him like this."

"Why must Qingyu be disrespectful to the emperor? The marquis is rude in front of him. One must know that being disrespectful to the emperor is a capital offense."

"It was just a slip of the tongue. Do you know what happened to the imperial edict today?"

Lu Keyu's slender fingers gently caressed Helian Manqiu's tender and swollen dimples. He could not help but sigh, "The Marquis has so much patience. He slaps my face."

"I did it myself. Gonggong ordered me to slap my own face."

Looking at her swollen and bruised face, Lu Keyu's eyes were filled with rage. "Even if Qingyu said something that he shouldn't have said, the Marquis is still too young." It's fine if you slap me, but why did I whip you? "

She felt waves of pain in her heart. Why wasn't he here at the time and didn't he bear all this pain for her?

If he knew what had happened today, he wouldn't have gone to the back courtyard to study poisons. He would have gone to the front to plead for her. Even if he couldn't plead, he would have to use his body in place of her to receive punishment.

Lu Keyu's hand suddenly began to tremble. He stared at the criss-crossing whip marks on the creamy skin on Helian Manqiu's back and could not move his hand for a long time.

"It's nothing, it's just a superficial wound. I've shown mercy in secret." I said the Emperor is an old fellow, this punishment is light enough. "

Hearing Helian Manqiu's words, Lu Keyu's face changed drastically. "Why would Qing Yu say such a thing?" Why disrespect the Emperor? Now that the imperial edict has arrived here today, your words should not be made in front of the imperial edict, right? "

"No, I'm not sick of it yet. Apply the medicine."

He looked at the criss-crossing wounds on his slender back and couldn't help but feel his eyes moisten slightly. With a hoarse voice, he said, "Qingyu, you're suffering too much. Why must you be the general of the Military Region?"

Quingotima

Breaking the silence and flourishing

See the rivers and mountains like a painting in the distance

Bloody Embroidery

vermilion herb

solitary bone

Know which family

And look at that rosy patch of red

flawless red sky

military career

Drenched with iron armor and frosted with frost

White hair in close-viewing mirror

Laughing at a spear in life

Repulse

There is no end to the loneliness of heaven and earth

Suddenly looking back …

But that's what makes life faster

In my dream, I have him!]

A low, hoarse voice slowly drifted out from the room and entered the ears of everyone in the courtyard. The voice was deep and distant, and was filled with sadness and miasma. Upon hearing it, everyone in the courtyard became infatuated.

They had never heard a song like this before, nor did they know if there should be a song like this or a word like that.

Everyone's eyes were slightly moist as they clenched their fists. It was unknown just what kind of feeling they had when their chests were stuffy. Such a song, they heard it in their ears. It was desolate and majestic, and there was even a faint sense of arrogance and boldness. However, when the young girl in the room softly sang it, they only wanted to cry.

She was only fourteen years old. At this age, she should have been laughing beneath her parents' knees and dressing up like a spoiled child. She should have been flinging butterflies and folding flowers in the courtyard, embroidering and reading in the room.

She was the daughter of a military general. She was a daughter of a noble family, a tiger girl, and a daughter of an official family.

However, she didn't expect that at the age of fourteen, she would have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the military state. For the sake of the military state, she would be injured, and even for their sake, she would be punished by the Lord.

How could they not understand that Helian Manqiu was doing this on purpose. She had provoked the wrath of Chu Yu, and that she was being punished in order to appease the discontent of Chu Yu's subordinates, and to lower her head to Chu Yu as a sign of loyalty?

All of this was for the military, for all of the militants in the military.

Gan Yuxuan stood quietly in the yard with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky. Chen Yu Yang and the rest of them wanted to say something, but when they saw Gan Yu Xuan waving his hands to silence them, they all kneeled down on one knee and lowered their heads without saying a word, listening to the low sounds of singing from the room.

This song was given to her by Mo Bai. Once, Mo Bai shamelessly came to her house and showed off this song. Helian Manqiu's father loved this song very much, so he left behind the lyrics and the score.

No one knew where that brat Mo Bai stole it from, who he begged for a musical manual to be presented to her father.

Mo Bai wanted to follow the path that the curve pursued. He first gave the song to her, and then he gave it to her father.

This song was something that Helian Manqiu loved the most, but she had never revealed it in front of Mo Bai. Not long after Mo Bai gave this song to her, her brother and her father were killed one after the other.

At this moment, she could not help but softly sing this song from the corner of her lips. It turned out that this song was the same as Mo Bai; it was already engraved deep within her heart.

Normally, he would ignore it and deliberately ignore it. He would not think about it, but he never would have thought that in this strange Great Hengkong Empire, when it was this weak and injured, he would still think of this person, this song.
